Su Jingxuan, who hadn't spoken until now, wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
In no time, the other person collapsed to the ground, blood slowly oozing from their mouth.
Su Jingxuan rushed over quickly, first checking the other person's pulse, then pulling off the black cloth covering the other person's face. When he saw that it was an unfamiliar face, his eyes were thoughtful for a long time before he slowly stood up.
After staring at the corpse for a couple of seconds, he finally picked it up and quickly left the dilapidated courtyard.
After secretly observing the entire scene, Luo Yunhe waited until there was no further movement before leaving the courtyard.
Who would have thought that this dilapidated courtyard would be so lively on this night?
But what secrets are hidden inside the Liu family's mansion that would make them come here in the middle of the night to investigate?
After leaving the courtyard, Luo Yunhe stared at it for a long time from afar.
The next day, the entire capital was suddenly plunged into a tense atmosphere, and even the common people on the street walked much faster than usual.
Luo Yunhe quickly washed up early in the morning and then wandered around the capital city.
He wanted to try his luck and see if he could run into Su Jingxuan.
If he couldn't run into Su Jingxuan, then he would have to go looking for the Prince again. He didn't want to get involved with such a person at all, since the other party's motives weren't pure.
If he really reaches the point where he can't find Su Jingxuan, then perhaps he really will need to make this trip.
However, the tension on the street created a very oppressive feeling. Luo Yunhe looked around the street, and almost everyone in the shops was also cautious.
Completely baffled by what was going on today, Luo Yunhe simply grabbed a passerby.
"What's wrong with this guy today? Why is everyone acting so hurriedly? Why is everyone so tense?"
"I don't know..." The other person seemed to have no desire to be troubled, so after saying this, they broke free from Luo Yunhe's hand and ran away.
Undeterred, Luo Yunhe asked the passersby several more times, but the situation remained the same, which only fueled his curiosity.
So he simply went to that secluded street again, sat down at a wonton stall, ordered a bowl of wontons, and listened intently to the discussions around him.
Everyone still looked nervous. Although it was a small street, there were quite a few people. They were all looking around anxiously, as if they were afraid of something.
But as time went by, people couldn't help themselves, so some people started to discuss it cautiously.
"Have you heard? There are several corpses by the river outside the city..."
"I heard that the corpses died in a terrible state!"
"You said General Xu has returned with his troops, so is an invisible battle about to begin in the capital?"
"Who knows? The old emperor's health is deteriorating day by day. Who knows, a fight might break out in the palace one day. Hopefully, it won't cause trouble for us common people!"
"We should still be careful; those corpses are a warning!"
"Alas, this kind of thing always happens when the old emperor is about to die. It really makes us common people suffer!"
"Stop talking, stop talking! If anyone hears this, you'll be dead..."
Almost everyone was sitting in twos and threes, discussing what had happened by the river the night before, but Luo Yunhe frowned deeply.
If something happened inside the Liu family compound, could it be that something else happened outside as well?
It seems the people of the capital are quite shrewd; the slightest disturbance makes them as easily alarmed as birds startled by a bow.
After finishing a bowl of wontons, Luo Yunhe put it down and quickly left the small street after winning money.
After all, he already knew the answer he wanted. Since a murder occurred by the river outside the city last night, everyone must be on high alert now, making it a bit difficult for him to find Su Jinxuan.
We returned to the courtyard.
After thinking it over, Luo Yunhe finally summoned the guards that the Prince had arranged for her to be in the shadows and explained her intentions.
After hearing Luo Yunhe's request, the guard nodded and turned to leave.
Because she didn't know when the other party would be able to give her an answer, Luo Yunhe patiently waited in the courtyard.
The two maids who followed Luo Yunhe were quite clever. Seeing that she was absent-minded, they simply brought her some things.
"Madam, why worry so much about those things? There's nothing we can do about it now anyway. Why don't you join us in doing some crafts?"
Seeing that the two maids in front of her were quite enthusiastic, and considering that what they said made sense, Luo Yunhe simply picked up the things in front of her and started to learn how to do it.
Because it was her first time working with this kind of embroidery, she was inevitably a little inexperienced.
The two maids were quite patient, slowly teaching him how to embroider, where to start the needle and where to stop. They taught him every step in great detail.
He already had a very strong learning ability, and with the two maids explaining things so carefully, he learned it very quickly.
However, the initial embroidery was truly unacceptable.
So when he embroidered the leaves better and better, the two maids were extremely surprised.
"Madam, you are truly amazing! It took me half a month to trim these leaves to such a perfect state back then, and you only took two hours to achieve this..."
"Yes, look at how you handle these lines, it's absolutely amazing! And no one would even know you just learned it!"
"Haha, really? To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've ever touched needle and thread. I didn't expect I'd have such a talent for embroidery!"
Looking at the lifelike leaf in front of him, Luo Yunhe was quite surprised, because he had never realized that he was so skilled in needlework.
After discovering his new talent, Luo Yunhe stopped thinking about anything else and focused all his attention on it.
Seeing his interest, the two maids tirelessly taught Luo Yunhe everything they knew.
On the first day, I only taught some simple embroidery techniques, such as embroidering flowers and leaves.
The second day was spent teaching him about birds and other birds.
On the third day, the area to be watered was larger and more complicated, especially since all the methods used were techniques commonly employed by people in the capital.
