"Rest?" Li Junyi was unhappy. "Where should I go to rest?"
Song Xiaoya raised her head from Shen Qiunian's arms, looking cautious and timid. "I heard Qiunian say earlier that the Shen family has a separate courtyard. I wonder if Madam would allow me to go there to rest my pregnancy."
She gently stroked her belly and said softly, "I'm not important, but I'm carrying Qiu Nian's first child after all. What if something happens to him?"
Seeing her like this, Li Junyi felt a little angry for no reason.
However, the meaning in Shen Yuhan's eyes grew more intense, and he did not speak for a while.
The Shen family villa is related to a case he recently investigated.
In recent times, a total of three cases have occurred in the capital.
In these three cases, there were ghost hand prints at the crime scene, and a bloody piece of evidence was left next to the deceased.
These evidences are all evidence that the deceased committed crimes outside or raped decent women.
The case was reported very late, and by the time people from the Inspectorate heard the news and rushed over, the news had already spread.
All the people in Beijing supported the person who committed the crime.
But the Inspectorate did not dare to underestimate this matter.
After this news spread, it had a significant impact on the Inspectorate. Many people felt that the Inspectorate was incapable of investigating the deeds of the deceased, and therefore no longer trusted the Inspectorate as much as before.
That would be fine, but what is more serious is that if the people really think that the person who committed the crime is a good person, then whenever he kills someone in the future, even if there is no evidence of guilt, the people will subconsciously think that the dead person did something wrong.
That would be a big trouble.
In the past few days, Shen Yuhan has been staying in the Inspectorate day and night in order to find the murderer.
But the murderer was so clever that he hid all the clues very well. The Inspectorate did not find any clues for several days.
The Shen family villa was very close to the scene of one of the crimes, almost next door.
Li Junyi couldn't help but frown and said in a cold voice, "But there was a murder case not far from the Shen family's villa. If you go there to protect your pregnancy and get framed by the thieves, what will you do?"
Song Xiaoya squeezed her palms to hide the coldness in her eyes, and said softly, "Won't Qiu Nian live with me? I believe that with his protection, nothing will happen to me."
"I'm not feeling well right now, so I can't help but say something rude sometimes. Going there to protect the pregnancy is the best choice." She looked up and exchanged glances with Chen Qiu Nian, her eyes full of helplessness.
Shen Qiunian tightly grasped Song Xiaoya's hand and said, "Yes, mother, please let us go."
He would be freer there and wouldn't be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall every other day.
"No." Li Junyi refused without hesitation.
"The Shen family's villa doesn't have many things. Do you think we need to ask the court doctor to go there alone with you?"
"Oh, mother!" Shen Qiunian suddenly became anxious. He gently let go of Song Xiaoya's hand and walked to Li Junyi.
"What do you have to worry about? My son is a skilled martial artist and will definitely not be afraid of the murderer. He will be fine."
Li Junyi still frowned and was unwilling to give in.
Instead, Shen Yuhan said, "Actually, this is also possible."
He glanced at Song Xiaoya, who was sitting on the bed, hiding her expression, and said calmly, "After all, the baby in her belly is the Shen family's child, so it's only right that she give up the other courtyard."
"Since everyone in the capital says that the murderer won't attack innocent people, I believe nothing will happen to them if they go there."
Li Junyi's brows finally relaxed when she saw Shen Yuhan: "Your Excellency, when did you come here?"
Song Xiaoya pulled Shen Qiunian's hand hard, so hard that it almost turned purple.
Did Shen Yuhan discover something by speaking up for them like this?
Thinking of this possibility, she almost couldn't control her shaking.
Song Xiaoya forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's not your place to meddle in the affairs of the Shen family, is it?"
"Do you think this king really wants to intervene?" Shen Yuhan's voice suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at Shen Qiunian coldly.
"As long as he stays in the capital, he will target the Fang girl. If he really kills her, won't others, including me, insult him? I have no interest in embarrassing myself with him."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Having said that, he put his hands behind his back and was about to leave.
Song Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the prince has already spoken, let's move to the other courtyard." She gently let go of Shen Qiunian's hand. "There are so many things going on in the capital, and it's inevitable that I will be involved. The other courtyard is quiet and peaceful, and it will be a good place for my pregnancy. It won't be too late to return to the Marquis' Mansion after I give birth to my son."
Li Junyi had no choice but to nod and agree.
Fang Qingyue has been investigating what happened back then these past few days.
But she was the daughter of a criminal after all, and knowing that the matter was of great importance, she did not dare to investigate openly.
In addition to investigations, she also went to the clinic as usual to treat patients.
After several previous treatments, she had left a good reputation in Beijing, and more and more patients were willing to come to her.
One day, she had just sat down in the clinic when the old doctor suddenly came over and said, "Qingyue, a patient is here today. I've treated him several times before, but the results weren't good. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Huh? Aren't you going up the mountain to collect herbs today?" Fang Qingyue was a little curious.
The clinic is not open every day. After all, there are many patients coming here and the medicinal materials are used up too quickly. Every few days, the old doctor will close the clinic and go to the back mountain with her to collect herbs.
