"I want to go too!" Duan Gouqiong raised his hand, showing that he was very interested.
"You and I will stay." Ni Yueshan said.
The people of Shuntian Prefecture don't recognize Duan Gouqiong as a princess. If she acts recklessly, she will probably be kicked away by the people of Shuntian Prefecture...
Duan Gouqiong was a little disappointed: "Then you guys should go quickly and come back soon."
Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng had no intention of setting off now to check the files. They planned to go at night.
After the two men left, three women were left in the room. Duan Gouqiong then realized that there was no relationship between Yu Fei and Shao Lecheng. She took the initiative to apologize sincerely.
Yu Fei didn't pay any attention to Duan Gouqiong's words. She just smiled and said, "I find it strange to find someone likes Shao Lecheng."
Duan Gouqiong immediately looked like someone had stepped on her tail. She stood up quickly and said, "Nonsense, I didn't. How could I possibly like a flower thief?"
Ni Yueshan and Yu Fei looked at each other and decided to explain the matter to Duan Gouqiong. Shao Lecheng was not only not a flower thief, but also an extremely kind-hearted person.
At this time, after Shao Lecheng and Jing Yuchen left together, they decided to explore the terrain of Shuntian Prefecture during the day, then understand the patrol time of Shuntian Prefecture, make plans, and then sneak a peek at the files after nightfall.
After drawing the map and discussing it, it was already dark. The two changed into their night clothes and set off together...
Shao Lecheng and Jing Yuchen had already explored Shuntian Prefecture thoroughly. They perfectly missed the patrolling sentries and groped their way towards the place where the files were stored.
Under the cover of night, everything seemed to be going very smoothly. One person was on guard while the other groped his way in to check the files.
Inside the room, Shao Lecheng was searching quickly with a fire starter in his mouth, while Jing Yuchen was on the roof watching everything that was going on below.
As time went by, a soldier patrolled the door, but found nothing unusual. After patrolling, he walked away.
Jing Yuchen was originally on guard, but now he relaxed.
The sound of a window opening was heard in the room. Shao Lecheng climbed out through the window and Jing Yuchen immediately flew over to meet him.
"How is it?"
"Let's retreat first!"
Shao Lecheng flew onto the roof, followed closely by Jing Yuchen.
Everything ended smoothly and without any trouble, just as the two had imagined.
After leaving Shuntian Prefecture, Shao Lecheng spoke up, "I know the names of the women in the files. They are all people I have helped before, but I did not instruct them to report to the authorities this time. Therefore, these people were used by others."
Jing Yuchen said seriously, "Tell me the addresses of these women and I'll investigate why they did this."
Shao Lecheng hesitated for only a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."
In the end, Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng parted ways, one went to Yu Fei's home and the other returned to the Prince's Mansion.
In the Prince's Mansion, Ni Yueshan had not returned yet. Jing Yuchen was a little surprised. Could it be that she was waiting for him at Yu Fei's house?
Jing Yuchen had no choice but to go to Yu Fei's house again.
However, when he arrived, he saw soldiers arresting Shao Lecheng, who was wearing a nightgown. At the door of Yu Fei's house, Ni Yueshan and the other two could only watch helplessly and were unable to stop them.
Jing Yuchen flew down and walked towards the three people.
Seeing that it was Jing Yuchen, Ni Yueshan immediately went to meet him: "Shao Lecheng was arrested just after returning. It seems those officers and soldiers have been waiting for him all day!"
"How did the officers and soldiers know he would come here?" Jing Yuchen asked in confusion.
Ni Yueshan was also confused and didn't know what was going on.
Duan Gouqiong was a little anxious: "Is it possible that someone has been watching you and the Crown Princess, so they concluded that Shao Lecheng is here, and then waited for him to come..."
"Maybe." Jing Yuchen looked at the direction where Shao Lecheng was taken away, and concluded in his heart that there must be a mastermind behind this matter.
It is not known who this person is.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan and said, "You and the princess should go back first. I'll go and tell the people in Shuntian Prefecture to stop them from torturing us!"
Ni Yueshan looked worried: "But your nightgown..."
"Perhaps they already knew about it when Brother Shao and I were in Shuntian Prefecture, but they just didn't do anything. Why should I deceive myself and change my clothes?"
Ni Yueshan thought so too, but said nothing and watched Jing Yuchen leave silently.
Duan Gouqiong was worried: "The people in Shuntian Prefecture are so annoying!"
After listening to Jing Yuchen's words, Ni Yueshan took Duan Gouqiong and left first, returning home to wait for news.
When Jing Yuchen came back, Ni Yueshan had already fallen asleep.
Jing Yuchen did not wake up Ni Yueshan, but the next day, Ni Yueshan woke up by herself.
After asking the servants, they told Ni Yueshan that Jing Yuchen told her not to worry, and Jing Yuchen went out early in the morning.
Ni Yueshan went to look for Duan Gouqiong, but the servants told him that Duan Gouqiong had also left the house...
Ni Yueshan felt that he had missed a lot by sleeping.
In the palace, Duan Gouqiong asked to see the emperor. The emperor summoned Duan Gouqiong as usual, and Duan Gouqiong performed a polite and solemn salute.
"Your Majesty, this princess wants to ask, if a flower thief is caught during your leisure time, what should be done?"
The emperor chuckled and asked with a hint of interest, "Princess, why are you interested in this?"
"Your Majesty, just tell me."
"This flower thief stole the fragrance and jade, harming so many innocent girls. Naturally, even if I torture him to death, I will never be satisfied!"
"What is Lingchi?" Duan Gouqiong looked at the emperor with some curiosity.
The emperor patiently explained, "Lingchi means cutting off a person's skin and flesh piece by piece, slicing them to death!"
