"……yes."
"How is it outside now?"
Looking at his own Crown Prince, though he wasn't smiling, his whole being seemed to radiate a spring-like glow, as if the entire courtyard was filled with a magical light. Tingfeng's spirits had improved, and his voice was strong again. "Your Highness, the matter of Li Junru's death is of great importance. The Prefect of the Capital has already reported to the Emperor in the palace. The Emperor has ordered the Prefect of the Capital to conduct a thorough investigation and has also ordered that Li Junru's body be sealed in the Prefect of the Capital's morgue, and no one except the coroner is allowed to touch it."
Yuwen Yao nodded. "This is to appease Minister Li. So, have Minister Li and Li Qingyu made any moves?"
"Your Highness, I secretly went to the Minister's residence to investigate. Minister Li is deeply saddened, and Miss Li has been trying to comfort him. For the time being, there are no unusual developments."
"Yes, keep a close eye on it."
"Yes, but Your Highness, your health..."
"I've only been affected by a minor Gu poison, it's nothing serious." Yuwen Yao waved his hand, and as he spoke, he lightly tapped his chest, looking at the vast sky with a gentle expression.
Upon seeing this, Tingfeng and Tingyu exchanged a secret glance.
As expected, Miss Lingqin has the best solution.
With Miss Lingqin's arrival, everything was fine for the Crown Prince, and they were no longer so depressed.
Miss Lingqin is truly their goddess; they must treat her well from now on.
Moreover, Miss Lingqin slept in the Crown Prince's room, on the Crown Prince's bed...
"Crown Prince."
Just then, Tinghai's figure suddenly descended into the air.
Yuwen Yao glanced at him. "What is it?"
"Hmm, Young Master Xie..." Seeing that the Crown Prince truly seemed to exude a gentle aura, Tinghai continued, "Currently, Young Master Xie is driving his carriage, searching the entire city for Miss Lingqin. I'm thinking that if he were to cause any trouble, it would be bad for Miss Lingqin's reputation. Therefore, after much consideration, I'd like to ask the Crown Prince about this matter..."
"I'll go."
As soon as Yuwen Yao finished speaking, he vanished from the spot in the next instant.
Listening to the wind, listening to the rain, listening to the sea, the three looked at each other in bewilderment.
So, is the Crown Prince extending his affection to everything related to the house?
Immediately, Tingfeng followed.
...
Xie Danling was driving the carriage, almost getting angry from searching for everyone.
The sun is almost setting; where has Xie Lingqin gone?
She's so hateful, she must have offended a lot of people. What if she gets captured and killed by one of them...?
Xie Danling thought for a moment, then awkwardly knocked on the carriage wall again, "Hmph, I don't care what you do, you treat me so badly, you mess with me like that."
"Young master, shall we continue searching?"
Hearing the sounds from inside the carriage, the driver stopped the carriage.
Xie Danling immediately composed herself and said in a clear voice to the outside, "Look for it, of course we should look for it. I'm going back to the academy tomorrow, and I haven't had peach cake in a long time. Let's look for it again."
"yes."
The coachman gently patted the horse again, urging the carriage forward.
Xie Danling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't stupid, so he naturally couldn't say he was going to find Xie Lingqin. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives overheard, it might harm her.
These peach slice cakes are sold by street vendors, and you might not encounter them in a day, so Xie Danling decided to take advantage of the situation.
But it's been so long, when will we finally find it?
As Xie Danling was pondering this, she heard voices of discussion coming from outside.
"Have you heard? Last night, the eldest son of the General's Mansion actually went to a brothel."
How did you find out about this?
"Hehehe, my husband works as a cook at the Qian family mansion. His master went to a brothel last night, saying that he heard it from his lover."
"...No way, Young Master Xie is only thirteen this year..."
"Yes, that general's wife is so capable, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Just when the daughter was starting to show some promise, the son..."
Xie Dan listened, and his expression immediately turned sour.
It's all Xie Lingqin's fault, it's all her fault.
Now look what's happened; who knows, he might be ridiculed again when he goes to the academy tomorrow.
Why would he still want to be with such a wicked woman...?
Xie Danling's small face was contorted with worry, and her fingers were so hard they were practically digging a hole in the car wall.
Thinking of this, Xie Danling looked up, seemingly wanting to give some instructions to the coachman, but before she could utter a sound, her entire facial expression froze.
After a long while, Nana finally spoke, "The...Crown Prince?!"
"Yes, it is I."
"You, you, you..."
Xie Danling looked around the carriage, then rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe that the Crown Prince would suddenly appear in his carriage.
"Your Highness, is there something you need?"
Xie Danling recovered quickly and hurriedly bowed to the Crown Prince.
"Something's up."
The prince said expressionlessly.
Xie Danling met the Crown Prince's dark eyes and was intimidated by his aloof aura, and subconsciously swallowed.
Who is the Crown Prince? He lives a secluded life and seems quite intimidating.
"I heard you went to a brothel yesterday," the Crown Prince asked.
Xie Danling was taken aback. Not daring to lie, she nodded, "Yes, I went, but..." But what? Xie Danling swallowed again.
The Crown Prince is so terrifying. If he says that Xie Lingqin, his older sister, took him there, will the Crown Prince harm her?
Let's not talk about it for now.
"Hmm, not bad, well done."
To everyone's surprise, after Xie Danling waited for a long time, he saw Yuwen Yao nod. His tone and expression were actually praising him.
"Danling doesn't understand what the Crown Prince means."
"Well, it's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that your sister is resting in my manor right now and is sleeping soundly. So you should go back to your manor as soon as possible and don't look for her anymore. Also, don't reveal her whereabouts."
