On the other side, in Qiu Shui Ju of the princess's mansion, Qiu Zhe finally woke up.

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Qiu Zhe's slowly opening eyes, and his worried expression gradually eased a lot.

Qiu Zhe felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He looked at the worried prince in front of him and was about to stand up and speak but he coughed repeatedly.

"Don't get up, just lie down." Tang Xiaoyu patted Qiu Zhe's back gently and quickly helped him lie down again.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have made you worry about me." Qiu Zhe looked at Xiaoyu with heartache and said self-reproachfully.

"Isn't it normal for me to worry about my own husband? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere else besides your thigh? Drink the ginger soup, I'll feed you." Xiaoyu said with a gentle smile.

She picked up the small bowl and fed Qiuzhe ginger soup mouthful by mouthful.

It’s not very warm now, so don’t catch a cold.

"Azhe fell into the water today, was it General Xia who pushed him?" Tang Xiaoyu asked seriously.

Qiuzhe shook his head and said apologetically, "It was Ahzhe's own carelessness that caused him to fall into the water. It has nothing to do with General Xia."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, feeling relieved, and also expected that it should not be Xia Jie.

She just looked at Qiuzhe with heartache and touched his head.

"Then Azhe, take good care of yourself. I will visit you every day. The injury on your leg may take some time to heal." Xiaoyu said.

Qiu Zhe nodded. Ruhe's expression made people feel comfortable. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Have you forgotten that Azhe is the disciple of the Medical Immortal?"

"Then I was inconsiderate. But I still have to come and see Azhe." Tang Xiaoyu then joked with a smile.

The servants of Qiu Shui Ju were very happy to see the two of them having so much fun.

Cuizhi and Cuiling also had some thoughts in their minds. It seemed that Young Master Qiu still had a lot of weight in His Highness' heart.

After the two exchanged greetings, they had a meal together. Tang Xiaoyu then left, and the worries in his heart also dissipated.

Qiuzhe watched Xiaoyu leave reluctantly. After seeing Xiaoyu off, Qiuzhe's eyes turned cold.

He immediately asked the servants of Qiu Shui Ju to close the door.

"Jinbao, call everyone in." Qiuzhe said with a cold face while sitting on the bed.

Jin Bao looked at his master's expression and thought to himself that something was wrong.

The master has always been kind and gentle, and he treats his servants with great kindness and generosity, rarely getting angry.

It is rare to see him having a cold face now.

Soon, all the servants of Qiu Shui Residence stood in the house.

Including Jinbao, there are five people in total.

Two maids who did the cleaning, a girl who did the dressing, a boy who cleaned the house, and Jinbao who followed her closely.

Five people stood in a row, all looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

The master seldom called them together for a lecture, and today was unusual, so they were naturally a little scared.

Qiu Zhe looked at them with a cold face and said,

"You are old people who have followed me for many years. You have been with me since I got married. You have always been diligent and loyal. I also pride myself on being lenient to you."

When he said this, there was sadness in his eyes.

"Jin Bao, you have been with me the longest, and I have always kept you by my side. I know you care about me and worry about me, but you shouldn't have provoked the Lord and General Xia about the drowning incident today."

"Can we arrange General Xia at will? Jinbao, I know what you are thinking, but I don't think so. Don't have such thoughts again."

"Your Highness's favor, no matter what, should not be obtained by me using any means."

"We in Qiushuiju don't fight with the world, and I'm not a meddlesome person. You should remember not to cause trouble, and don't have any other thoughts."

Qiuzhe was hitting Jinbao and was also speaking to the others.

He learned a thing or two from talking with His Highness, and he didn't want His Highness to come to see him every day out of guilt and worry.

I also don't want His Highness to misunderstand General Xia.

Over the years, he also knows what his identity and status are.

He himself didn't believe that he wanted to be with His Highness for the rest of his life.

Your Highness is the eldest princess, the emperor’s biological sister, and the most noble woman in the world.

She will have a prince consort, more concubines and concubines.

The prince consort's family background must be high, and there will be too many families who want to put people around His Highness.

By then, there would be no need to talk about the prince consort. Even those servants of noble birth would be able to kill him at will.

Qiuzhe looked at Jinbao with tears in his eyes with heartache, called him over and gently wiped his tears.

Jinbao and these servants have followed him for many years and have a deep relationship with them.

If we don't warn them now, what will we do if they offend the prince consort or other nobles in the future?

It is better to be aggressive now and give them a beating, rather than letting others kill them in the future.

"Master, Jinbao knows he was wrong and will never do it again."

"Seeing the master injured, I was really worried. From now on, I will never have any other thoughts. I just want to serve you and stay with you in Qiushuiju."

Jin Bao cried and said that he was very scared. He was really scared when he saw Qiuzhe's appearance after being rescued from the water today.

He just wanted to live a good life, follow his master in Qiu Shui Ju, have food to eat and clothes to wear, that was enough.

Seeing him crying with snot bubbles coming out of his nose, Qiuzhe finally chuckled, no longer had a stern face, and patted him gently.

"Well, we have been master and servant for so many years. Just do what you should do and don't do what you shouldn't do. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Go down."

……

Speaking of Tang Xiaoyu, she was not idle after returning to her bedroom. She received calls from the secret guards asking her questions.

"Your Highness, among the young masters of the imperial families that you sent us to investigate last time, there were a total of 280 people who practiced martial arts, and ten of them were very good at Qinggong."

An Yi reported respectfully, and then presented the information and portraits of the ten people one by one.

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the portrait and lamented that the portraits of ancient people were not very well painted. Why were they all so ugly and looked almost the same?

"Your Highness, according to my investigation, these ten people have not had any conflicts with General Xia." An Er added.

"That's strange." Tang Xiaoyu muttered to himself.

Why would that bandit provoke King Jie of Xia for no reason?

"All these people are eliminated. They don't look like him at all." Tang Xiaoyu said as he put the portrait and information aside.

An Yi and An Er looked at each other, wondering if their mission had failed.

Tang Xiaoyu stroked the paper with a half-smile in his eyes.

Top-notch lightness skills, precious and expensive black jade Shu brocade, and a purple jade hairpin bestowed by the royal family.

Among the things this bandit has, his lightness skill may not be the key.

After all, there are many hidden talents in the imperial city, and there are many people who do not show off their talents.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "How many shops in the Imperial City sell Black Jade Silk?"

An Er has had in-depth knowledge of the Imperial City for many years and knows these things best.

"Your Highness, there are only three."

"One is Yu Silk Spinning, which is run by a wealthy businessman named Zhao. He has his own caravan and often goes to Shu and Jiangnan to buy precious fabrics from other places."

"The other one is Jinxiu Manor, which is ostensibly owned by businessman Boss Xu, but its real unknown owner is the Minister of Industry, Zuo Xuanzuo."

"The last one is Xingyue Pavilion. Their black jade Shu brocade is the most popular. The owner of Xingyue Pavilion was once the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Qi. Now Xingyue Pavilion has been given to the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion as a dowry."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded after hearing this and was thinking whether he could steal the purchase records of Mo Xuan Yu Shu Brocade in these stores.

"Your Highness, with my skills, I can steal the purchase records without making any noise!"

An Yi looked at his own prince who looked like he was about to hold his fart, and volunteered.

Tang Xiaoyu gave him a wicked look, then walked over and patted An Yi on the shoulder.

"Hey~ That's wrong. How can what a scholar does be called stealing~" Xiaoyu said with a smile.

An Yi: ? Scholar?

An Er: Your Highness, are you really reading? Why haven't I seen you flip through the pages?

"An Yi, I'm counting on you. Go and steal it quickly... No, no, go and get the purchase records quickly." Xiao Yu patted him solemnly and said with a smile.

"What about me, Your Highness?" An Er scratched his head and asked.

"You...check out more gossip." Tang Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand to send the two away.

She stretched, a sly gleam in her eyes.

Hum, a river, huh?

Threatening him with a knife, right?

"I will definitely find you, a river."

Xiaoyu smiled and talked to himself.

I thought of the purple jade hairpin bestowed by the emperor on the river head. It seems I have to go to the palace and ask my younger brother to look through the records.

All the things bestowed by the emperor should be recorded.

That’s a happy decision!

Oh no! She seemed to have forgotten something.

Aha, he forgot to find a dog for his brother. If I don’t give that little brat a puppy tomorrow, he’ll be furious, right?

Then Tang Xiaoyu urgently called An San and An Si and gave them a difficult task.

Immediately before dawn, find a white, furry, cute puppy that is just one month old.
