"I'm worried that my buddy won't turn into an idiot!"
Why do you say that?
"Because...because..."
Xiao Xi'er then turned her attention to the red teardrop-shaped stone in the box.
"I also gave Guoguo a stone of this shape."
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Qin Jue pulled her close, her face towards him, and asked her with a mixture of disbelief, worry, and shock.
"Same shape and color as this?"
"no"
Hearing this, Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax, he heard Xiao Xi'er's words, and his heart jumped again.
They have the same shape, but different colors.
"The one I gave my boyfriend was just a rock, but this one is red."
Xiao Xi'er thought about the stone she had given Qin Jingyao, and then looked at the red teardrop-shaped stone in the box.
Hearing this, Qin Jue was still very uneasy, because this red teardrop-shaped stone initially looked like an ordinary stone, except for its unusual shape.
It turns red after being soaked in chemicals or similar solutions; red is its original color.
"Which brother did Xiaoxi give the stone to?"
Yes, big pot.
Qin Jue narrowed his eyes and continued to ask Xiao Xi'er.
"How did Xiao Xi'er get that stone, and then give it to Qin Jingyao?"
Upon hearing Qin Jue's question, Xiao Xi'er lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Qin Jue after she had thought of something.
"I saw it that day while walking along the palace path."
"Then I picked it up, and later when I walked to the school, I saw my boyfriend and gave it to him~"
"Daddy~, will my son turn into an idiot?"
Don't worry, it won't happen.
"Oh, that's good."
Little Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and patted her chest with her little hand.
"Hey, Daddy, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to show it to Master."
Okay, slower.
Seeing that Xiao Xi'er was about to leave in such a hurry, Qin Jue put her down on the ground, told her to take it easy, and then looked at the red teardrop-shaped stone in the box.
After Xiaoxi left, Qin Jue called over Sanhezi, who was standing to the side.
"Go and summon the First Prince."
"Yes, this servant will go immediately."
When Sanhezi arrived at the palace school and called Qin Jingyao away, Qin Jingyao was completely bewildered.
Not understanding why he had been summoned away by his father, Qin Jingmu sat in his seat, looking thoughtful.
He glanced at his younger brother, who had gone off to study cooking, and looked on with a headache.
"Second Prince, why was the First Prince suddenly summoned away by His Majesty?"
"I don't know"
"You and His Highness are truly... sparing with words?... cold."
"It can only be described as indifference."
Qin Jingmu ignored Qi Sinan's words and instead began tidying up his books on the table.
"Nan, weren't you going to find Bai Tangzhi?"
"Not going?"
Baili Zhou looked at Qin Jingmu, who remained silent, and said to Qi Sinan...
"Bai Li, I had completely forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Let's go to Class Gui to find Bai Tangzhi."
Qi Sinan hooked his arm around Bailizhou's and started walking towards Class Gui.
Sitting in his seat, Qin Jingmu thought again about how Qin Jingke had told him that Xiao Xi'er wasn't there when he went to Class Gui that morning.
I'm wondering again if Qin Jue's search for Qin Jingyi is related to Xiao Xi'er.

Seeing that the imperial study was empty, Qin Jue summoned Yu Ying down.
Go check the pattern above.
Yu Ying took the Xuan paper, saw the pattern on it, and examined it carefully for a while.
"Derivatives, I feel like I've seen this pattern before."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jue also turned to look at Yu Ying.
"You've seen him?"
"Hmm, but I'm not sure."
After Yu Ying finished speaking, Qin Jue remained silent, waiting for Yu Ying to continue.
"Before I knew you, I think I saw this pattern before; it was on the jade pendants of some people dressed in black."
"Then do you know who they are?"
"I don't know, I only know they're some kind of assassin sect."
"What did you hear them say about killing someone?"
After hearing this, Qin Jue looked at the red teardrop-shaped stone in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
"Okay, I'll check it out first."
"Go and check whether those people actually came to the capital. Investigate this matter first."
"Understood, I'm leaving."
After Qin Jue finished speaking, he closed the lid of the box and stood by the table, his expression unreadable.

"Master, Master, I'm here!"
Little Xi'er, holding the painting in her hand, skipped and hopped into the courtyard that Qin Jue had allocated to Zhang Shuhao.
"Why is Xiao Xi'er here?"
"Didn't you go to the palace school?"
Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Shubo knew it was Xiao Xi'er, because only Xiao Xi'er called him "Master".
Zhang Shuhao saw Xiao Xi'er skipping and hopping towards him, so he squatted down and touched the bell on Xiao Xi'er's hairband.
I even shook it in my hand; the bell rang clearly and pleasantly.
"Master, Father said I don't need to go to the palace school today."
"Master, look, this is what I drew!"
Xiao Xi'er grasped the Xuan paper with both hands and handed it to Zhang Shuhao.
Seeing the Xuan paper in front of him, Zhang Shuhao reached out and took it.
"How is it, Master?"
"Isn't my drawing great?"
Little Xi'er looked at Zhang Shuhao with bright, sparkling eyes, her whole being screaming, "Praise me! Praise me!"
Zhang Shuhao looked up and saw Xiao Xi'er looking for praise, so he praised her to death without hesitation.
