After Yu Feng left, Jun Qingzhi went into the house and asked Yu He, "Have you found out who set the fire?"
"No, I only know that things have been quite unsettled in the south of the city lately. The day before yesterday, they were going to burn down shops, and our house was probably burned down because the fire spread over there."
"Send out your hidden agents to investigate. They burned my things; how can they not pay the price?"
After speaking, Jun Qingzhi turned her body back about 45 degrees.
Yu He saw the murderous intent in Jun Qingzhi's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, he froze for a moment, then took his orders and left the house.
Yu He, clutching his wildly pounding heart, hurried outside. Just as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, he saw Yu Feng standing there waiting for him.
"What's wrong? You're clutching your chest."
"Yu Feng, don't underestimate this young master just because he's only eight years old. His murderous aura is almost as strong as that of a prince."
Yu Feng looked completely bewildered by Yu He's words. "What are you talking about?"
"Didn't say anything."
Yu He glanced at Yu Feng, then pulled Yu Feng along and walked out.

"master"
Qin Jue looked at Zou Heng, whom she hadn't seen for several days, with surprise. "How's the investigation in the south of the city going?"
"It's fair to say we have absolutely no clue."
Qin Jue's eyebrows furrowed when he heard Zou Heng's words.
How to say it?
"According to my investigation, the incident in the south of the city was committed by two groups of people."
"The group that burned down houses and shops was one group; the group that abducted women and children was the second group."
"child?"
"Yes, Master. Just these past two nights, someone died in a family, and their child, wife, and daughter went missing as well."
"This is what you investigated?"
Qin Jue's angry voice reached Zou Heng's ears.
"Incompetent subordinates"
"Sanhezi, change your clothes."
Qin Jue changed into a 'Grand Tutor Blue' outfit, with 'Tang Grass Pattern' embroidered on the collar, cuffs, and hem. (Grand Tutor Blue is a type of blue, and the Tang Grass Pattern symbolizes vitality and longevity. The Tang Grass Pattern is a type of pattern on ancient clothing; you can search it on Baidu if you're interested.)
"master?"
Zou Heng looked at Qin Jue, who had changed into casual clothes, and called out in confusion.
"I will go out of the palace with you to have a look around."
"Three Numbers"
The three summoned men stepped forward and said, "Your servants are here."
"Take good care of the princess, and don't tell her that I have left the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, Qin Jue took the lead and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with Sanhezi and Zou Heng following behind.
After leaving the palace, Qin Jue instructed Zou Heng to take the carriage directly to the south of the city.
Yu Feng, who was wandering around the capital city asking about the "silver-threaded pomegranate skirt" in various clothing stores, happened to see Qin Jue and Zou Heng walking together.
Upon seeing this, Yu Feng didn't bother asking where he could buy the 'Silver Thread Pomegranate Skirt' anymore; he simply ran back home.
"Bang--"
Jun Qingzhi, who was eating breakfast, was startled when the door was suddenly opened, and she almost spilled her food on herself.
After placing the bowl on the table, she looked at Yu Feng with a dangerous gaze.
That look seemed to say, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm not letting this go."
Yu Feng felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at.
"Young master, I just saw the father of that little dumpling from last time."
Who did you see?
Jun Qingzhi, fearing she had misheard, asked Yu Feng again.
"I just saw the father of the young lady who dined with you last time, sir."
"Where did you see it?"
"Chengnan Street Intersection"
After hearing Yu Feng's words, Jun Qingzhi walked out of the courtyard gate.
Yu Feng quickly followed Jun Qingzhi

"Princess, you cannot leave the palace."
"No, I want to get out!!!"
San Shu immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Princess, His Majesty has repeatedly instructed you not to leave the palace."
"Please, Third Eunuch, let me leave the palace!"
"Is it okay~"
"No, Princess."
Xiao Xi'er looked at San Shu and saw that he still refused to agree, so she turned to look at Chun He on the side.
"Sister Chunhe~, please take me out with you~, okay~"
"No, Princess, I cannot agree to this."
"snort"
When Xiao Xi heard that Chun He didn't agree, she turned away and ignored Chun He.
Xiao Xi'er, already angry, became even angrier when Chunhe didn't try to comfort her. At that moment, Xiao Xi'er thought of Sha Ting.
"Hmph, if you won't take me out, I'll get the cat to take me out!"
After Xiao Xi turned and spoke to Chun He, she ran towards Sha Ting's den.
Chunhe, seeing this, quickly grabbed Xiaoxi'er, "Princess, this servant will take you out."
Really?
Xiao Xi'er looked at Chunhe with bright, sparkling eyes. Chunhe glanced at San Shu and Xia Ju, and the three of them silently nodded, indicating their agreement to take Xiao Xi'er out of the palace.
Hehe~, I'm bringing my cat along!
"Princess, this won't do! The cat is a tiger; it will scare people."
"It's okay~, the cat is very obedient and won't scare anyone."
"Please, Sister Chunhe~"
After much pleading and cajoling from Xiao Xi'er, Chunhe finally agreed.
Little Xi'er happily ran towards Sha Ting's tiger den.
"Kitty~, kitty~"
Sha Ting, who was still sleeping, was woken up by Xiao Xi'er's voice.
With its still-drowsy, icy-blue tiger eyes wide open, it watched as little Xi'er ran towards it.
What's wrong, little devil?
"Kitty, I'll take you out to play."
Where to go?
"Go outside the palace~ I'll tell you, Daddy's outside the palace too~"
Hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Sha Ting was unceremoniously moved by her.
