Liu Xing is wanted, and Xu Ding will absolutely not let the murderer behind her go either.
However, the people He Liufeng arranged were naturally not simple in their own right. After several escape attempts, Xu Ding's men eventually lost track of Liu Xing.
Qu Qingxi had someone give Liu Xing fifty taels of silver and asked He Liufeng to arrange a clean identity for her and send her away.
By the time the Crown Prince received the news, the matter was already settled; Xu Xingfeng had already been sent to prison.
The Crown Prince hurriedly found Xu Ding, "Uncle, what exactly happened? Everything was fine last night, so why did Father suddenly order Xingfeng to be arrested today?"
When the Crown Prince received the news, he could hardly believe it; he even suspected that the messenger had delivered the wrong message.
"Your Highness, this old minister does not know why." Xu Ding seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He even forgot to bow when he saw the Crown Prince arrive, and slumped into his chair. His once ruddy complexion was now ashen.
Why? He was perfectly fine last night, and today he's going to be locked up in jail.
This matter has nothing to do with them at all, so why would the Emperor think Feng'er is the murderer?
The Crown Prince didn't dwell on it too much. He knew how much his uncle valued Xu Xingfeng, and that Xu Ding would be heartbroken if something happened to Xu Xingfeng.
"But this matter wasn't settled yesterday, so why did Father suddenly issue an order today? Could it be that some new evidence has emerged?"
Yesterday, Liu Xing clearly proved that Xu Xingfeng had not left Yichun Tower at all.
"Today, Liu Xing suddenly changed her story, saying that Feng'er had left for an hour that night, which is why the Emperor directly ordered Feng'er to be imprisoned."
"Uncle, don't worry. Xingfeng is only locked up in prison now. We still have a chance. Don't worry, Uncle. I have such a good relationship with Xingfeng, I certainly won't just stand by and watch him stay in prison for the rest of his life." The Crown Prince assured him confidently.
The Crown Prince knew from a young age that Xu Ding valued his eldest son highly and poured all his heart and soul into Xu Xingfeng. Now that Xu Xingfeng had an accident, Xu Ding would probably be exhausted and heartbroken.
This could be detrimental to his future. His strongest supporter is the Xu family, and the Xu family cannot be allowed to have any problems, nor can Xu Ding.
"Your Highness, please think of a way. Feng'er must not be harmed." Xu Ding, as if grasping at a sliver of hope, knelt down directly before the Crown Prince.
Seeing Xu Ding so haggard, the Crown Prince felt a pang of sympathy and quickly helped him up. "Uncle, please rest assured, I will do everything in my power to save Xing Feng."
"The most important thing now is to find out who stole from the Xu residence and who was there that night. Uncle, my men have already gone to Qinglan Pavilion and Cuiwei Pavilion and spent a lot of money to buy this information. They have already accepted the money."
The rule of Qinglan Pavilion and Cuiwei Pavilion is that once the money is accepted, a result will definitely be given.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ding felt a slight sense of relief.
"Your Highness, please instruct the prison not to mistreat my son."
"Before I came here, I immediately gave instructions to the people there. I have many people in the prison, and they certainly won't treat Xingfeng the same way they treat others."
“That’s excellent, that’s excellent.” Xu Ding nodded.
In his haste, he almost forgot about the two places in the capital where intelligence could be bought. If they were willing to take the deal, it meant they at least knew something.
The Crown Prince was extremely busy, and Ren Nuanyun was also exhausted.
The Empress had just given her some gifts, which had cheered her up a bit. Moreover, Chunxin had been taken back by the Crown Prince, who reportedly executed her for doing something wrong.
Ren Nuanyun's days were short-lived. The palace assigned her a governess, ostensibly to teach her manners, but in reality, she was constantly making things difficult for her.
Because of Ren Nuanyun's miscarriage, Granny Yan didn't teach her manners for the first few days, and only started in the last couple of days.
Originally, given Ren Nuanyun's miscarriage, she should have been recuperating properly and not learning any rules. However, since very few people knew about the miscarriage, it was not appropriate to publicize it, and even Granny Yan was unaware of it.
Ren Nuanyun had only studied for two days when she wanted to kill that Granny Yan. Not to mention anything else, she even had to relearn how to walk.
That evening, Granny Yan finally managed to let Nuanyun come back to rest.
Because of Chunxin's departure, Chunyi's life became a little more comfortable, but she still didn't dare to speak loudly.
Ren Nuanyun was exhausted after a long day. Chunyi brought hot water and served her a foot bath. The first time, Ren Nuanyun complained that the water was too hot and kicked over the foot bath basin. The water splashed all over Chunyi. Chunyi still didn't dare to say anything, but quickly apologized. Then, she knelt on the ground, took a rag, and wiped all the water off the floor.
The second time, even though the temperature was just right, Ren Nuanyun complained that it was too cold and bad for her health. This time, Ren Nuanyun kicked Chunyi directly.
Chunyi stumbled, holding back her tears, and got up to kneel on the ground again, wiping away the water stains. She then changed the water in the basin, and only then was Ren Nuanyun barely satisfied.
"I give you so much money every month, what have you been doing? You can't even do the smallest things right, you're a complete waste." Ren Nuanyun didn't dare say anything in front of Granny Yan, so she could only vent all the anger she had accumulated during the day on Chunyi.
Chunyi remained silent, her head bowed, tears of grievance welling in her eyes, yet she dared not let them fall.
After Chunyi left, Ren Nuanyun asked the system again, "System, I want to exchange for a skill related to the rules of the palace here."
Ren Nuanyun couldn't take it anymore. That Granny Yan was really too hateful. She made her unable to look around when she walked, and the hair ornaments and tassels in her hair couldn't even move much when she turned around.
There are rules about where to place your hands, what colors you shouldn't paint your nails, and not leaving stray hairs on your forehead.
Ren Nuanyun always liked to leave wispy bangs on her forehead, which made her stand out and appear playful and cute. However, Granny Yan insisted that noble ladies from respectable families would never do this, and that only courtesans who had fallen into prostitution would have such wispy bangs.
Ren Nuanyun was so angry she almost vomited blood, but she couldn't punish her. Even her food was controlled, with rules like not being able to eat the same dish three times in a row. After just two days, Ren Nuanyun felt she was about to collapse; she simply couldn't take it anymore.
