Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

"Um……"

Xie Yanan's eyes almost fell on the puppy. He hesitated for a while pretending to be reserved, then squatted down and gently placed his palm on the puppy's belly.

The puppy cooperated with him and made a humming sound.

Xie Yan'an first squinted his eyes and glanced at the maid, who understood, lowered her head and took a step back, indicating that she saw nothing.

Seeing how understanding she was, Xie Yan'an finally stopped pretending and, like Shi Li just now, indulged in petting the dog.

"Humph, you said you didn't like dogs, but you mean one thing."

Shi Li muttered something, lifted her skirt and prepared to go out to catch Xie Yanan in the act and make fun of him.

She had only taken one step when she saw two guards with swords walking faster than her and hurried towards Xie Yan'an.

She then stopped.

"Your Highness, we found out something from those people yesterday."

Xie Yan'an's relaxed expression instantly froze. He stood up and looked sideways at the guard, "Oh?"

"Your Highness, please come over and talk." The guards outside didn't dare to say more.

Xie Yan'an also understood, and without asking any further questions, he hurriedly left with the two guards.

After they all walked away, Shi Li quietly walked out from the darkness, looked in the direction where even their backs could not be seen, and sighed softly.

In this prosperous Ding'an City, everyone has their own worries, especially those in high positions. Even if they live a life of luxury, they cannot live a comfortable life.

Just like Xie Yan'an, whose status was clearly above everyone else, but he almost lost his life yesterday.

Life is not easy for anyone.

Petting dogs is still the happiest thing!

She hadn't petted them enough just now. Shi Li turned her head to look at the two puppies who were still biting their ears, and walked over briskly.

When the maid saw her coming over, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, just now..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Shi Li put her index finger on her lips and winked at him slyly. He immediately understood what she meant and stopped talking.

Xie Yan'an followed the guards to the private dungeon in the princess's mansion.

The smell of blood came from the depths, but Xie Yanan remained calm and continued to walk inside.

Most of the assassins from yesterday were killed, and the few remaining survivors were imprisoned one by one. After being subjected to severe torture, some of them finally couldn't hold on any longer and told the truth.

They were asked to capture Xie Yan'an and force him to tell them the whereabouts of the treasure.

When he heard the word treasure, Xie Yanan's face instantly darkened.

The world only knows that his biological mother is the late emperor's concubine, but few people know that this little-known concubine has another extraordinary identity -

She was a princess from the previous dynasty!

After the fall of the previous dynasty, a lot of gold, silver and treasures inexplicably disappeared from the national treasury.

Later, for some unknown reason, rumors spread among the people that the previous dynasty knew it could not hold on to the world, so it secretly hid half of the national treasury in an unknown place.

Later, there were rumors that only the royal family of the previous dynasty knew where the treasure was hidden.

With the rise of the Zhen Dynasty, all the royal family members of the previous dynasty were wiped out, leaving only a princess, who was favored by the previous emperor, changed her name and taken into the harem.

This concubine died of depression in her early years, and very few people knew her identity.

Now someone suddenly set their sights on the treasure and also knew Xie Yan'an's background, which was indeed unexpected.

Xie Yan'an glanced at Princess Wenchang who was sitting next to him and asked, "Can't you find out who the instigator is?"

"It's really unfortunate that only the leader among them knew who the employer was, and he was stabbed in the heart by Mingyue's sword yesterday."

Princess Wenchang spoke calmly, as if this was a very common occurrence.

"But don't worry, I will have people continue to investigate. It may take some time, but we will eventually find some clues."

Xie Yanan nodded calmly, "I'm just afraid that it will affect your business."

"It's not that serious." Princess Wenchang replied.

As the two men talked, neither of them took the assassins in the dungeon seriously. However, since they couldn't get any more information out of them and these people were useless, they had to kill them directly and be done with it.

Princess Wenchang and Xie Yan'an walked out of the dungeon and gave an order to the guards.

There are some things that should never be left with any hidden worries.

Back in the palace, His Majesty learned that the Crown Princess was pregnant. Although he was angry about what she had done in the Concubine Xian's palace that day, he decided not to pursue the matter further for the sake of the child in her belly, allowing Xiang Yinyao to rest assured in the Eastern Palace to take care of her baby.

This made Concubine Wei very unhappy.

Originally, I thought I had done a great job this time, using Shi Li to undermine the momentum of the Eastern Palace, but I didn't expect Xiang Yinyao to get pregnant at an inopportune time.

Just when he was sulking in the palace, he heard from his subordinates that the third prince who had gone out to suppress bandits had returned!
