“…This? What is this?”

Jiang Xingkuo looked at the familiar purse in Huanyan's hand, and his red eyes, which were caused by tears, became a little colder.

"Looks familiar, right?" Huanyan smiled wryly and put away her purse.

"Isn't this the one you made for Hai Yanqing..." Jiang Xingkuo was a little confused.

"I don't know what to do now. I don't want it to be him in my subconscious, but this is what I found in Yutai's hand, it's absolutely true. I thought he wouldn't..."

Huanyan closed her eyes in pain.

Jiang Xingkuo squeezed her hand, his face looking very unhappy. "Don't you think the whole thing is very strange?"

"It's all my fault. I was the one who asked Yutai to go see Wei Chuchu! It was me who didn't want to face Wei Chuchu... Wait! Where's Wei Chuchu!"

Huanyan suddenly stopped sobbing and looked at Jiang Xingkuo.

"Did you just realize something was wrong?"

"Well. It's not that simple."

"I have sent people to look for Wei Chuchu, but he is still missing. And there is a clear sign of a hard object hitting the back of Yutai's head, and there is a big swelling."

Huan Yan, who was always carefree and showed his emotions openly, now looked frighteningly calm.

"You mean, it's Wei Chuchu? Then what about this purse?" Jiang Xingkuo also looked solemn.

"Well, I'll find a chance to talk to him." Huanyan gritted her teeth.

Tengxi watched as the servants around him were taken away for questioning one after another, and then released back unharmed.

As she expected, the princess is now kind-hearted and soft-hearted, not as ruthless as before, so it will not be easy to uncover this matter.

There was a quarrel in the room.

"I told you I don't know when this thing disappeared! Where did you get it from?"

"You don't know?! This was found from Yutai!"

"That has nothing to do with me! Isn't it obvious that someone is framing me? If you have any brains, you wouldn't question me!"

"How dare you say I'm stupid?!" Huanyan slammed the table and jumped up. "You asked me to send her away before! Get rid of her when necessary! Now you dare to say this has nothing to do with you?!"

"Do I need to go to such great lengths to kill her? And I killed the wrong maid! She is a piece of trash among trash!"

Hai Yanqing argued disdainfully.

"Okay, okay! Stop arguing!" Jiang Xingkuo felt a headache after listening to the quarrel in the room.

Huanyan took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive. But the purse was indeed found in Yutai's hand, and I must find out."

Hai Yanqing sneered and said, "Since you don't believe me, I have nothing to say." Then he turned away.

At the same time, in a dark corner, a maid was observing all this silently.

After seeing Hai Yanqing slam the door and leave, the maid walked towards the bamboo forest in the backyard. Not long after, a pigeon flew up in the night sky.

She watched the pigeon fly into the air, and as she turned around, her expression suddenly changed.

"Prince...Master Ma...Princess..." She knelt down in fear.

A group of people appeared before her in the darkness like ghosts.

"Why are you panicking?" Hai Yanqing snorted coldly, and stretched out his hand. The servant beside him handed him a fluttering pigeon.

He took the note off the pigeon's foot and said, "The princess and her husband have a secret rift, and Wei's whereabouts are unknown."

Huanyan's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were like sharp swords piercing her.

This maid looked familiar. She was the servant who swept the yard outside the room every day.

She turned and left in disappointment.

"Tengxi, aren't you leaving?" Songyan turned around and found that Tengxi didn't follow him.

"You guys go first. I'll keep an eye on the princess." Tengxi replied.

"Okay. You should listen to what happened. There is a traitor in our hospital. We must not let her off easily!"

Tengxi nodded thoughtfully.

Huanyan returned to the room and Jiang Xingkuo handed her a white package.

"What is this?" Huanyan took it, opened it and saw that it was the dagger.

"We still need Hai Yanqing's help to investigate this matter. It shouldn't be difficult for him to find out who the dagger belongs to through his family's connections and resources."

Huanyan looked at the dagger carefully but couldn't see anything.

"You believe he had nothing to do with it?"

"If he really did it, would he have to put on such a show with you just now?" Jiang Xingkuo sighed. "It can be seen that he was really anxious about being wronged by you."

Huanyan curled her lips and wrapped the dagger, "He is the best."

"Songyan, go and give it to him yourself. Don't let anyone else see it."

"Okay!" Songyan took the small package and stuffed it into his chest, then sneaked out again.

I happened to meet Tengxi who was coming back.

She wanted to ask Songyan where she was going, but when she saw the two women staring at her, she swallowed her words.

"But did you admit it?"

Teng Xi nodded, "Princess, I confessed everything. She was the one who led the assassin. Her brother got addicted to gambling and owed people a lot of money in interest. They all came to their house, and her parents had no choice but to find her."

"Unexpectedly, someone came to her at this time, and she was bewitched and agreed to be a spy..."

"Wait, so who is the mastermind behind this?" Jiang Xingkuo interrupted her.

Teng Xi shook his head. "I can't find out for now. I only know that she seems to be from a prominent family and is very generous. That girl has never seen much of the world and has lived in this mansion all her life. I can't recognize her."

"That……"

"Princess, the prince consort has already executed her on the spot."

An Huanyan glanced at Jiang Xingkuo, and both of them felt a little uneasy.

They could clearly have spared the maid's life, but they chose to stand by and watch. However, they inexplicably felt that her death was worthy.

It was this realization that made them suddenly realize that they had already changed a long time ago.

"Princess? Miss?" Tengxi tentatively woke up the two dazed people.

"No...it's okay. Tengxi, you should go down and rest first. It's getting late." Huanyan forced a smile.

Jiang Xingkuo settled down in the princess's mansion. She tossed and turned, and a figure on the windowsill almost scared her to death.

"Miss, please go back to the palace." It was Xiao E.

"What the hell! I won't reply! If you have the guts, knock me out again and carry me back! I'll drug you all in the palace!"

Jiang Xingkuo kicked the quilt in annoyance.

"girl……"

"Tell him I'll help him deal with the Black Fire issue, and don't bother me these few days!"

"Miss, Wei Chuchu sneaked into the wedding banquet of the uncle yesterday and made a scene when the newlyweds were unpacking their luggage. Although he was taken away on the spot, there were so many people that day and by the time the guests left, Wei Chuchu had already escaped."

"What?!" Jiang Xingkuo sat up with a somersault. "She doesn't know martial arts, how did she escape?"

"Yes, there is something fishy going on here. Someone helped her escape from the Wan family. Your Majesty cannot intervene in these inner-house affairs openly, so you asked the servants to investigate privately, but found no clues."

Xiao'e spoke calmly, which made Jiang Xingkuo even more excited.

"You can't find out?! There must be someone behind this. Who is it...who can compete with him...could it be the Hai family?! That Hai Yanqing...can't be..."

Xiao'e looked at her and fell into deep thought. "Miss, I have conveyed your message. I hope you can return to the palace as soon as possible. Also, please handle the matter of Black Fire as soon as possible."

"I know, I know." She was unhappy about being interrupted and waved her hands irritably.

Xiao'e said nothing more and disappeared into the night.
