Tang Xiaoyu leaned against the head of the bed, with a plate of washed and seeded green grapes beside her. She tasted them lazily.

There was a knock on the door, and she thought, is Xia Jie so anxious?

Did this come by flying with Qinggong?

"Your Highness, I have something to ask you."

Chun Ke's voice came from outside the door, and Xiaoyu nodded. She said, even if Xia Jie could fly, he couldn't be so fast.

But she didn't know that someone really flew over to see her.

But...it’s not Xia Jie.

Xiaoyu said, "Come in," and Chunke gently pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the warm fragrance in the house. Behind the screen, the incense burner is burning with a faint, pleasant-smelling incense.

The afternoon sun shines gently into the house, and the elegant fragrance spreads in circles under the light, filling the entire house.

He stood in front of the screen, behind which was His Highness to whom he swore allegiance until death.

"Your Highness, the information collected by An Yi and An Er is all here with me. Would you like me to read it to you?" Chun Ke asked in a gentle voice.

"You bring it here." Xiaoyu said, with interest in his eyes.

Chun Ke's heart was beating fast. He lowered his head and pretended to be calm as he walked around the screen and slowly approached the prince's bed.

He knelt on one knee in front of the bed, lowered his head, and presented the information respectfully.

Xiaoyu looked at him like this and felt a little moved.

Chun Ke's love is always restrained and repressed, even hard to notice, he follows and is silent like a shadow.

She looked at Chun Ke with love in her eyes.

Don't you dare to look up at her?

Xiaoyu did not take the information from Chunke's hand, but just stretched out her slender jade fingers to lift Chunke's chin.

Chun Ke was shocked and could only be forced to look at Xiaoyu.

He only saw His Highness's long black hair, which was as black as ink and spread softly like a waterfall.

His Highness wore no makeup, but her face was as white as cream, her eyebrows and eyes were captivating, and looking down along the tip of her nose, she could see His Highness's soft, rosy lips.

He only saw the prince's snow-white, slender neck and dared not look any further. He quickly lowered his head and called out "Your Highness" in panic.

"What wrong have you done? You don't even dare to look at me." Xiaoyu held her cheek in a charming manner with a smile on her lips.

Chun Ke raised his head quickly and said anxiously: "Chun Ke would never dare to let down His Highness, Your Highness is wise."

When he looked up, he saw that the prince was wearing a snow-white tube-top dress with only a thin white gauze shawl on the outside.

The gauze dress revealed her snow-white arms, shoulders and neck. Her inky black hair contrasted sharply with her snow-white skin and dress. It was unspeakably plain, yet surprisingly eye-catching.

His ears suddenly turned red, and his face also turned red. He didn't know where to look for a moment.

"Then just look at me carefully." Xiaoyu said with a smile, her eyes ambiguous.

Chun Ke didn't dare to keep looking at His Highness, so he quickly placed the information beside Xiaoyu's bed.

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first." Chun Ke said in a low voice with a blushing face.

"Eh~ No hurry, come and comb my hair." Xiaoyu saw that he wanted to escape, and the more he wanted to escape, the more she wanted to tease him with evil taste.

Chun Ke looked at the jade comb handed to him by His Highness and took it respectfully. He suppressed his pounding heart and gently combed Xiaoyu's hair.

Although His Highness's hair was very smooth, he moved very gently for fear of hurting His Highness.

His Highness' hair had a faint fragrance, different from the usual scent.

He remembered that His Highness liked gardenia-scented hair oil, but it seemed that he had not used it recently.

Your Highness's hair is not oiled, and this fragrance is unique to Your Highness.

It smells the same as the silk that His Highness used to wipe his face last time.

It smells so good and is so warm. I really want to get close to it.

It makes people want to smell and taste it madly and intensely.

Every strand of His Highness' hair and every inch of his skin make people want to possess them and hold them in their arms.

Chun Ke quickly suppressed his rebellious thoughts.

Your Highness...how could he have imagined that at night?

Chun Ke felt sad, and combed Xiaoyu's hair with restraint and tenderness.

He felt that it was great to be able to accompany His Highness all the time. He could see His Highness every day, so what else could he not be satisfied with?

He touched her hair devoutly, with warm tenderness in his eyes.

"Tell me what An Yi and the others have found out."

Xiaoyu was enjoying the handsome guy's hair combing service and talking while eating grapes.

"Yes."

"The black jade ink Shu brocade is very valuable. In the past six months, only six people have purchased it from the three stores combined."

"The Emperor bought a batch before the New Year, the Minister of the Sun family bought a batch, the Imperial Concubine bought a batch, the Prime Minister bought a batch, and the Minister of Rites bought a batch in his residence."

"There is another person who is not in the purchase record. He is the second son of the Marquis, He Jue."

"The black jade and black Shu brocade in this shop in the Marquis' Mansion was directly paid and sent to He Jue."

Chun Ke said so.

As he spoke, Xiaoyu stuffed a grape into his mouth. Chun Ke was stunned for a moment, then quickly bit it.

The grape juice explodes in your mouth, so sweet.

Chun Ke's eyes were gentle. Recently, whenever His Highness ate something delicious, he always liked to put one into his mouth.

He felt inexplicably ambiguous and yet... happy.

"So, this young marquis is very suspicious. And his last name is He, so it is very likely that he is this river."

Xiaoyu pondered and said slowly.

Chun Ke nodded and continued, "Your Highness is wise. I also have the same suspicion."

"Also... I heard an interesting story that seems to be related to this matter."

Tang Xiaoyu became interested and fed Chunke another grape, asking him to speak quickly.

"I heard that at the beginning of spring, His Majesty intended to marry the Marquis's daughter, He Jue's sister, to General Xia."

"I think this is related to Yitiaohe stealing something important to General Xia, so I made some careful inquiries."

"The original mistress of the He family died of illness early after giving birth to the current eldest son of the He family."

"The current mistress of the He Mansion is the Marquis' second wife. She is also the biological mother of Master He Jue and his sister."

"Young Master He has a very good relationship with my sister. It is very likely that he would provoke General Xia because of my sister."

"However, my subordinates have investigated and found that this He Jue Master is uneducated and unskilled, does not practice martial arts, and is a playboy and a well-known playboy in the Imperial City."

Chun Ke told Xiaoyu everything he had found out. Xiaoyu nodded and gently fed him another grape.

"You've done a good job of checking. You can go to the accounting office to collect your reward later, and give a share to An Yi and An Er as well." Xiao Yu said with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

Now, this river has taken shape.

It sounds like He Jue is the most suspicious and has a motive for committing the crime. We just need to find an opportunity to test him.

As for Qinggong...

Tang Xiaoyu felt that there were many hidden talents in the imperial city, and there were many people who did not show off their abilities, so the news that He Jue did not know martial arts did not have any practical significance.

Anyway, just let her take a look at those eyes. Those eyes are very beautiful and she will never make a mistake.

I have a deep impression of He Jue in the original novel. She is naughty and unruly, romantic and arrogant, and loves to be in the spotlight.

Moreover, this guy has excellent looks, and can contend for first or second place among the many handsome men in the original novel.

However, He Jue had a tragic ending. Because of his excellent looks and temperament, he died in a golden cage.

The arrogant and show-off He Jue was treated like a broken toy and thrown into a cage, where he died tragically without anyone paying attention.

Tang Xiaoyu's face turned unhappy when he thought of this.

She couldn't imagine a living person being tortured like that, waiting to die silently.

How cruel and such a shame.

Fortunately, there is still time for everything.

It doesn’t matter, there is still plenty of time and it’s never too late.

The story has just begun.
