Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

Thinking that the servant was still waiting outside, he lost the mood to discuss.

Cui Lizi's voice deepened: "It's getting late. I'm going to supervise your brothers' homework. Zhu'er, you should go to bed early."

"Mother, I understand what you mean." Cui nodded and left with Nanny Mei.

On the tile back, a figure jumped into the cold alley and soon disappeared into the night.

West courtyard, study.

Three tall men, holding letters in their hands, were searching carefully by candlelight.

a moment

Su Yanjian slapped the table excitedly: "Your Highness, I found it, I really found it, haha."

Dongfang Huang and Zhao Ran leaned over and took a closer look. Their faces darkened. "Very good, the evidence is conclusive. When the Chu people come again, we can proceed as planned."

Zhao Ran was delighted: "Yes, it's still the prince's clever plan that works. This time we kill two birds with one stone."

It turned out that the search for the lost gold hairpin was a deception. Zhao Ran's main task was to inspect Cui's room, and he had arranged for his trusted confidants to wait for an opportunity to search for useful evidence. Unexpectedly, there was actually something to be found.

"Think of the golden mountains of our Wumeng country. I will make sure they never return." Dongfang Huang gritted his teeth.

Zhao Ran: "Your Highness, additional workers have been assigned to repair the old house in the suburbs. It will be ready for occupancy in three days."

Dongfang Huang nodded

The guard commander, Su Yanjian, said, "Our men have been lurking in the North Courtyard for two days and two nights. We discovered that Miss Mingzhu's personal maid and her brother are very suspicious. We suspect they were the ones who poisoned the young princess."

Butler Zhao Ran: "Commander Su, I know the maid Zijuan's brother. His name seems to be something like Gen. Give me some time and I will look for their household registration book."

"Okay," Su Yanjian nodded in understanding.

Dongfang Huang raised his eyebrows. "Just observe in secret for now. It's not time to attack them yet. Let's cast a long line and catch a big fish."

Zhao Ran asked another question: "How do we deal with the second daughter?"

Dongfang Huang frowned: "She's an ungrateful bastard. Wait until she reaches marriage age and find her an ordinary official to marry."

Zhao Ran smiled innocently, "That's good too. Marrying into the royal family, given her personality, she'll probably fight the little princess to death."

Su Yanjian was indignant: "She really got away with it. She can't be touched. The maidservants around her are not bad at stealing in the East Courtyard."

Dongfang Huang stroked his beard and said, "The theft can be left unpunished for now, but poisoning and harming my brothers and sisters will definitely not be forgiven. We will deal with them together. The little princess is still ill, so it's best not to make too much noise."

"Tomorrow, have the court doctor come for a follow-up visit as usual."

The two of them also agreed with this and did not insist any further.

After discussing some details, they left the study.

In the East Courtyard, little Ruiyue only later discovered that her jewelry had been stolen. Caihong recounted what she had heard to the two young ladies.

"Miss, you were away for three months, and I went to help in the kitchen. I don't know when it was stolen."

Xiao Ruiyue comforted him: "You only grow taller but not fatter. If you encounter a thief, you can't stop him. Just steal it. Isn't this a big recovery?"

As they were talking, Prince Gong Dongfanghuang strode in, holding a box in his hand. "The lights in your room are still on, so I guess you haven't slept yet?"

"Xiao Yueyue, are you feeling better?" He looked his daughter up and down kindly, then reached out and touched her head.

"Father, I'm much better now. Father, is the box in your hand the hairpin?" Little Ruiyue opened it curiously, and saw a peacock hairpin made of pure gold. The feathers were inlaid with small gems, which were dazzling.

"So beautiful." The three girls exclaimed.

Sima Xiaotao asked curiously, "Your Highness, how did you know there was a thief in the East Courtyard?"

Dongfang Huang pretended to be mysterious: "Guess? Haha."

Telling the truth?

Seeing Dongfang Huang being so mysterious, Sima Xiaotao pretended to be angry, stamped her feet and said, "Your Highness, it's already this late, and you're still keeping us in suspense. Tell us quickly, we're all very curious."

Little Ruiyue, standing beside her, opened her big watery eyes and pulled Dongfang Huang's sleeve, coquettishly saying, "Father, please tell us. I really want to know."

Dongfang Huang stopped teasing them and said with a smile: "Didn't you go to the Taoist temple to learn skills? I have arranged for my trusted confidants to take inventory of the jewelry in the East Courtyard every five days.

One day, I forgot to lock the cabinet, and my confidant discovered that something was missing. We then took advantage of the situation and left the cabinet unlocked for a few days. We sent someone to hide on the roof, and they found out everything.”

"Father, this is the first time I've seen this golden hairpin. Is it for me?" Little Ruiyue asked uncertainly.

Dongfang Huang lovingly patted little Ruiyue's head and said, "This is a birthday gift I specially prepared for you. My little Ruiyue has grown another year older and deserves a beautiful golden hairpin."

Princess Xinyue had designed many hairpins, but he liked this one the most, so he asked someone to make it. To prevent his daughter from being reminded of him, Dongfang Huang did not tell her the reason.

Xiao Ruiyue looked at the golden hairpin and couldn't let it go.

"Miss, do you want to try it? I will do your hair for you right away." Caihong asked excitedly.

Poison is always poisonous. After the serious injury, her body was still very weak and her hair was parted.

Little Ruiyue shook her head, but cooperated by looking at the golden hairpin. She put it on her head as if to symbolically wear it, then took it off and smiled mischievously: "Then let you admire it first."

The two girls' eyes were filled with envy. Sima Xiaotao joked, "Sister Ruiyue, you are so lucky. The prince is so kind to you. And, a birthday present."

Xiao Ruiyue smiled sweetly: "On your birthday, your father will also give you a gift. Sister Xiaotao, you will be my good friend from now on, and I will give you a gift too."

"Oh, first of all, I would like to thank the princess, my good friend."

"Haha, I have a good friend now." Sima Xiaotao excitedly reached out and hugged Xiao Ruiyue. ^.^

The three girls got tired of looking at it, so Dongfang Huang put the hairpin back into the long box and locked the cabinet.

He said gently, "Well, it's getting late. You guys should go to bed early. You were frightened today. Don't get too tired."

Several girls nodded, saluted Dongfang Huang, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Ruiyue was not sleepy at all. She got up and practiced calligraphy for a while. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

She also had a strange dream. In the dream, she could fly. She flew and flew until she arrived at a beautiful palace. She saw a woman in green clothes with long, straight, black hair and a slim figure. She was dancing with a sword with her back to her.

Wherever the sword flower touched, leaves fell in a flurry. She stared blankly, bewildered, when the woman in green suddenly threw a small sword at her.

She started to dance with swords again, but this time she danced very slowly. It turned out that the other party was teaching her swordsmanship.

Understanding what she was saying, she followed the movements of the woman in green, dancing with the dagger in her hand. The woman never turned back, and she danced again.

The fallen leaves on the ground suddenly swirled into a whirlwind, and the woman in green disappeared. Only her voice could be heard in the air: "Practice well, it can save your life."

She practiced a few more times until she knew it by heart. When she woke up, she found a long-handled green sword beside her bed. The scabbard was engraved with intricate patterns, as if telling a story.

The hilt of the sword was embedded with a large blue pearl, which looked like two dragons playing with it. When it was drawn out, the blade flashed with a cold light, and it seemed to be the roar of a dragon. It was exactly the long sword in the hand of the green-clothed woman in the dream.

She was overjoyed and after thinking about it, she decided to hide the sword first.
