Kunshan Jade Die

Luo Jin remembered that there was a person named Xiao Xiaoyu in the novel, who was the apprentice of Liu Shu of Qijietang whom she helped Chai Heng catch last time. This person was very short and often dressed up as a child to let people relax their vigilance and take the opportunity to spy on information.

Chai Jing seemed to have mentioned that Xiao Xiaoyu surrendered after being caught, but for some reason, he put medicine in the princess's tea. If she hadn't discovered it, the princess would have been poisoned to death after drinking the medicine, right?

It's too abominable!

Xiao Xiaoyu walked out of the princess' courtyard and walked back along the same path. Just after walking a few steps, he suddenly froze and retreated repeatedly.

Luo Jin followed his gaze and saw that not far away, Chai Qi was slowly walking towards Xiao Xiaoyu.

"It's a fake surrender." Chai Qi said coldly, "Do you think I really believe you?"

Xiao Xiaoyu's body trembled, and she immediately knelt down, "Your Highness... Please don't kill my master!"

Chai Qi glanced at the princess's yard, "What do you want to do to the princess here? Poison her tea, and then what?"

"It's not poison, it's just... a drug. I... I just want to kidnap her and use her to exchange for my master." Xiao Xiaoyu lowered her head, "Please, Your Highness, don't kill him..."

Chai Qi said coldly: "I don't want to kill him, but he refuses to confess the core secrets of the Seven Realms Hall, so I naturally can't let him go. Since you are so loyal, then..."

He swayed and came in front of Xiao Xiaoyu in a moment, and waved his sleeves lightly.

Xiao Xiaoyu's body fell down in an instant and never moved again.

Luo Jin's heart was pounding and he covered his mouth tightly.

Chai Qi killed him without blinking an eye.

Chai Qi glanced at where Luo Jin was hiding and said, "Come out."

Luo Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out. She didn't dare to get close. She only took a few steps and stopped where she was, bowed and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Are you... the deputy envoy?"

"Yes... I thought this person was suspicious, so I followed him to see."

"Well..." Chai Qi nodded slightly, "You are quite careful. You can go down! There is no need to tell the princess about this."

"Yes..."

Luo Jin didn't dare to walk around, for fear that she would not be able to explain after being seen by Chai Qi, so she went directly to the princess's yard.

A maid had returned. She was a little surprised when she saw Luo Jin. "Ah, Miss Luo came here by herself. I asked Sister Xiaocha to find the girl! Eh? The girl's face doesn't look good. Are you feeling unwell?"

"I... a little..." Luo Jin didn't know what to say for a moment. She couldn't say that she was scared by seeing the prince killing people, right?

"I understand! Wait, I'll get you some brown sugar water, just drink it and you'll be fine!" The maid smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, girls are like this."

Luo Jin didn't say anything. She was a little confused now.

The prince Chai Qi in the novel never showed such a vicious side. Although it was an enemy, she was still very afraid of him killing people while talking. She remembered that in the novel, Chai Qi was a good brother of the male protagonist He Xiao, and the two of them worked very well together. In many cases, He Xiao would not have been able to accomplish anything without Chai Qi's help.

He belonged to the camp of the protagonists, and Luo Jin naturally assumed that he was a good person when reading the novel.

But now he behaves like a villain!

When she first saw Chai Qi, she thought he had a very good temper, was easy-going and generous, always smiling, very easy to get along with, and very reliable.

But now she doesn't think so at all. He can kill people while talking, which is completely different from his personality on the surface!

There was no one in the room at this time, Luo Jin poured out the tea in the teapot, rinsed it, and put it back in place.

At this time, another maid named Xiaocha came back, and Chai Jing came back with her.

Xiaocha smiled when she saw Luo Jin, "I just went to the dining room to look for Miss Luo but couldn't find her. I didn't expect you to be back. I just happened to come back with Her Royal Highness the Princess. The Princess just said that you didn't have any food, so I brought you some."

She raised the food box in her hand.

Luo Jin knew that Xiao Xiaoyu's body was on their way back, but seeing that they looked the same, he thought that the body had been dealt with and they didn't see it.

"The brown sugar water is here!" The maid came in with a teacup, and when she saw Chai Jing, she hurriedly bowed, "Xiaolu has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Luo Jin was slightly startled, "Xiaolu... Xiaocha... Who gave you two names?"

Xiaolu asked in confusion, "Her Highness loves to drink green tea, so I just gave it to you casually... What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good?"

"...It sounds good."

Xiaolu handed the brown sugar water to Luo Jin, and said with concern, "Drink slowly, it's a little hot."

Chai Jing was slightly startled, "Are you having your period? Didn't you have your period a few days ago? Why are you having your period again?"

Luo Jin: "..."

How come she even knows this...

...

The next morning, Chai Jing and Luo Jin went to Yu Music House as usual.

Chai Jing asked the musicians to continue playing, and planned to preliminarily select a few people to play music for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Luo Jin repeated his old trick and asked Chen Changmo to play the last one. But today's time was long enough, so it was his turn.

Seeing Luo Jin still standing in front of him, Chen Changmo couldn't help but say, "Could you please move aside, Deputy Envoy? The Princess can see more clearly."

Luo Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "I told you to call me sir! Don't call me Your Highness! The Music Envoy doesn't understand the piano, so you just play the piano for her. She can't understand. Isn't the piano for listening? What's so good about it?"

She saw Chen Changmo clenched his fists, and was obviously angry, but he still held back, said "yes", and started playing the piano.

Luo Jin sneered in his heart. He had created a persona for himself that was a zither player who was indifferent to the world, pure and clear, aloof and skilled, so naturally he would not argue with her. When he didn't argue, she pushed him further and didn't give him any chance to perform.

But it must be said that Chen Changmo played the guqin really well. Even Luo Jin, who knew nothing about the guqin, thought that he was very good and played better than others.

After playing a song, Chen Changmo took the opportunity to say, "Sir...you don't understand music, I am brave and willing to teach you music."

Without waiting for Chai Jing to speak, Luo Jin crossed his arms, shook his head and said, "I don't want to learn!"

Chen Changmo gritted his teeth and thought: Who asked you?

But in theory, "Sir" can indeed be used to address Luo Jin, who is the deputy envoy, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Chen Changmo could only continue, "I want to ask, is the princess willing to learn music?"

"What princess? It's the music envoy! Do you know that you should call her Your Highness?" Luo Jin used his usual interruption skills.

"It's... the music envoy."

"That's right, why are you calling her the princess?"

"..."

Chen Changmo took a deep breath, "I want to ask, is the music envoy willing to learn music?"

The music envoy was trying to hold back his laughter and didn't dare to speak for a while, fearing that he would laugh out loud.

Luo Jin was even more arrogant, "The princess doesn't like to learn, so she won't learn!"

"But the music envoy is in charge of the Yu Music House, and I think... it's better for her to know some music." Chen Changmo tried to keep calm.

"What you said... The princess has opened a restaurant, does she have to learn how to cook?" Luo Jin rolled his eyes at him, "The princess doesn't need to play, what is there for her to learn?"

"But, princess..."

"It's the music envoy!" "

..."

Chai Jing coughed, "Come to think of it, I haven't been upstairs to take a look..."

Chen Changmo hurriedly said, "Then I am willing to..."

He was immediately interrupted by Luo Jin, "Are you being lazy? Yulefang pays you, not for you to be guides. Practice the piano well, or we will deduct your wages!"

Chen Changmo gritted his teeth and finally stopped talking. He didn't want to give the princess the impression that he was eager for quick success.

Luo Jin said with a smile: "Princess, I will accompany you to take a look?"

"Okay, let's go." Chai Jing nodded, followed Luo Jin to the second floor, and suddenly asked, "How did you know that the princess has a restaurant?"

"I just made it up, how come the princess really has a restaurant?"

"Really."

"Ah... Is it delicious?"

"I'll take you to try it later?"

"Great!"

After walking around upstairs, Chai Jing searched everywhere and said in a low voice: "If the former music master didn't leave here, how did he get his body out? There are more than a dozen musicians here, and outside is a busy street. If the murder happened during the day, the body can only be handled at night when no one is around. But where should the body be hidden so that it won't be discovered?"

Luo Jin pondered and said: "It must be somewhere in this building. Let's look for a place to hide. Maybe there will be clues. Bloodstains or something..."

Luo Jin and Chai Jing searched everywhere for a while. The second and third floors were all racks with musical instruments. It seemed that there was no place to hide, and there were no clues left.

In order to avoid being seen, they couldn't search openly. After a day of work, there was no gain.

In the evening, Chai Jing actually took Luo Jin to her own restaurant for dinner.

Luo Jin saw that it was a five-story restaurant with a constant stream of guests, and it seemed to make a lot of money.

"Princess, you are amazing. This restaurant can make a lot of money for you every year, right?"

"Not bad. I have dozens of such restaurants and pawnshops in Weicheng. The money I make in a year is barely enough to spend, and I don't need to ask my father for money."

"The princess is really rich and generous..."

It must be said that there is a reason why this restaurant is doing so well. After eating, Luo Jin couldn't help but discuss with Chai Jing, "Can we come again tomorrow?"

"Okay!"

"Great!"

After leaving the restaurant, Luo Jin and Chai Jing got on the carriage and drove to the palace.

Seeing the gloomy sky outside the window, Luo Jin urged, "Hurry up, it's going to rain, and there's no umbrella in the car."

The carriage suddenly jolted and stopped.

"What's the matter?" Luo Jin shouted unhappily, "How are you driving?"

Chai Jing suddenly grabbed Luo Jin's arm, her face changed suddenly.

An emotionless voice sounded outside the carriage, "Your Highness, get off the car and follow me!"

Luo Jin felt that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Chai Jing snorted coldly, "Looking for death! Do you think... this princess dares to go out with only a groom?"

The voice outside the carriage paused, "You mean... those three useless eighth-level hidden guards?"

Chai Jing's face suddenly turned pale.

The curtain was blown open by the wind at this time, and Luo Jin saw the person who spoke.

It was Jiang Mo.
