The two continued walking and came to the back garden of Sheng Mansion. Under the moonlight, Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao's profile, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This man always stood up at the critical moment and brought her endless peace of mind.

"Brother Pei, who do you think is behind this?" Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but ask.

Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say at the moment. But this matter involves the royal family, so it must be complicated. We must act carefully and not expose ourselves easily."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and secretly made up her mind to help Pei Jinxiao find out the truth no matter what.

At this time, the guards of Sheng Mansion were patrolling everywhere. When they saw Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Yunrong, they all saluted. Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly, signaling them to continue patrolling.

"Brother Sheng, why are you so sure that this matter involves the royal family?" Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but ask.

Pei Jinxiao stopped and looked at Sheng Yunrong, and said slowly: "This matter involves the emperor's confidant, and the means are cruel and the purpose is clear. If it is not the royal family, who can be so generous?"

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong was shocked.

The two returned to Sheng Yunrong's boudoir and closed the door. Pei Jinxiao sat at the table and began to analyze the matter carefully. Sheng Yunrong watched him quietly, her heart full of worry.

"Brother Pei, do you think this matter will implicate our Sheng family?" Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but ask.

Pei Jinxiao raised his head, looked at Sheng Yunrong, patted her hand gently, and said: "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect the Sheng family. But during this period of time, you have to be careful and try not to go out."

Sheng Yunrong nodded. Although she was worried, she believed that Pei Jinxiao would definitely protect her.

As the night deepened, Pei Jinxiao was still thinking. Sheng Yunrong looked at his back and felt distressed. This man was always so strong, but he never gave up.

"Brother Pei, it's late, you should rest first." Sheng Yunrong said softly.

Pei Jinxiao looked back at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll take a break. Tomorrow morning, we will start investigating this matter."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and secretly swore in her heart that she would do her best to assist Pei Jinxiao and find out the truth.

The next day, Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Yunrong began their investigation at dawn. They first went to the library of the Sheng Mansion and consulted a large number of ancient books, hoping to find clues.

"Brother Sheng, here is an ancient book that records some secrets of the royal family. Perhaps it will be helpful to us." Sheng Yunrong said excitedly, pointing to a tattered book.

Pei Jinxiao took the book and read it carefully. The book recorded some royal secrets, although it had no direct connection with this incident, but Pei Jinxiao still found a clue from it.

"Yunrong, we have a clue. Next, we have to go to the palace to see if we can find more evidence." Pei Jinxiao said, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, held Pei Jinxiao's hand tightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will go with you."

The two decided to sneak into the palace to look for evidence. They knew that this matter was fraught with danger, but they were willing to take the risk in order to find out the truth.

In the palace, they explored carefully. Pei Jinxiao successfully found evidence with his extraordinary wisdom, while Sheng Yunrong helped Pei Jinxiao avoid many traps with her keen intuition.

After a fierce battle, the real murderer was successfully captured. The emperor was deeply moved and expressed his gratitude to Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Yunrong. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao also finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Sheng, we finally did it." Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao with joy in her eyes.

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, held Sheng Yunrong's hand, and said, "Yes, we did it. From now on, we can live a peaceful life."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with happiness. And this experience has become the most unforgettable memory in their lives.

…

Pei Jinxiao calmed down and said, "Yunrong, let's go."

Sheng Yunrong nodded gently, but there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She turned and looked in the direction of Sheng Mansion. The tall vermilion gate seemed to be the starting point of her destiny and the symbol of her departure at this moment. She took a deep breath, followed Pei Jinxiao's steps, and set foot on the road to Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Miss Sheng, where are you going?" In front of the Sheng Mansion, a tall servant blocked their way, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "I will follow His Royal Highness Prince Jing to the palace, and the Sheng Palace will have nothing to do with me from now on."

The servant's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw a cold light flash in Pei Jinxiao's eyes, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and quickly made way.

The two finally arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, which was already brightly lit, with servants bustling around, busy preparing for the dinner. Pei Jinxiao led Sheng Yunrong through the garden and came to an exquisite pavilion.

"Yunrong, please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform my mother." Pei Jinxiao said, turning and walking towards the inner room.

Sheng Yunrong stood alone in the pavilion, the moonlight shining on her body, adding a bit of loneliness to her. She looked at the bright moon in the sky, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Soon, Pei Jinxiao came out with a middle-aged woman. The woman was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, had an elegant temperament, and her eyes showed deep concern.

"Yunrong, this is my mother." Pei Jinxiao introduced the two.

Sheng Yunrong bowed quickly: "May you live long and well, mother."

Princess Jing smiled and helped her up. She looked her up and down, nodded and praised, "She is indeed a good and pretty child. My Jinxiao is so lucky."

Sheng Yunrong's cheeks flushed, but she felt a little uneasy.

After the dinner, Sheng Yunrong was arranged to live in a quiet courtyard in Prince Jing's mansion. Late at night, she lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened and she sat up. The door curtain rolled up and Pei Jinxiao walked in. There was a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still firm.

"Yunrong, are you okay?" Pei Jinxiao sat beside the bed and asked with concern.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm fine."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He reached out his hands, gently held Sheng Yunrong's hands, and said affectionately: "Yunrong, from now on, you are my wife, Pei Jinxiao, and I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Pei Jinxiao to express his feelings so directly. She nervously held Pei Jinxiao's hand and whispered, "Your Highness, I am also willing to spend my whole life to protect you."

Pei Jinxiao smiled gently, pulled Sheng Yunrong into his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly. The moonlight shone on them, as if blessing them.
