Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Main courtyard study,

The man in black robe stood in front of the door, sniffing his nose and showing a puzzled look.

The mechanism at the door was not triggered. Was it an illusion?

Standing in front of the door, listening attentively, there was no movement inside. He suddenly pushed the door open, dodged to the side, then jumped in, and then flipped sideways after entering.

No hidden weapons,

look up,

The huge study was empty. His eyes widened and he stood there in a daze. Was the palace robbed?

wrong!

The main courtyard was under surveillance for 12 hours, so it was possible for someone to sneak in, but it was absolutely impossible to empty the study quietly.

"Somebody come!"

A row of men in black appeared in the yard.

"Seal off the palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

The man in black robe left the study and walked in the yard. Suddenly, he smelled a strange fragrance and frowned so hard that he could kill a fly.

The fragrance was strong. The person who entered the study was just here, but he was in the study and didn't notice anyone in the yard. What happened?

He looked towards the rockery suddenly.

"not good!"

The man in black rushed to the rockery and opened the secret door. A fragrance wafted out from inside. His face suddenly changed. He rushed into the secret room and found only a corpse!

"who!!"

"Come out!"

No one answered him. Just as he opened the door of the dark room and came in, Xiao Yunxi tied up the old Taoist priest, blindfolded him and took him into the space.

The moment he entered the secret room, he flashed away.

At the banquet,

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows when he heard the sound of orderly footsteps outside. Could it be that Prince Qing had gone so crazy that he wanted to attack Dabao in the palace?

Or was Xiao Yunxi discovered?

Just when he was worried, Xiao Yunxi walked into the hall, her face pale, her steps a little unsteady, and she winked at him frantically.

Zhou Jin hurriedly went up to support her and bowed towards the Prince Qing's Mansion.

"Princess, my wife is not feeling well. The banquet ends here. We will take our leave first."

Before Princess Qing could answer, the housekeeper came in and whispered in her ear. The princess's face changed drastically, and the look she gave Xiao Yunxi was as sharp as a knife.

"Seal off the palace! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Zhou Jin's eyes were sharp as he glanced at her and said sternly:

"What does Princess Qing mean?"

Dabao is the crown prince, and Zhou Jin has a special status. It is unwise to fall out with him. The princess's hostility disappeared, and the smile on her face became warm again.

"The palace was robbed and some things were lost. I hope the prince will forgive me."

Zhou Jin didn't give any face at all:

"Does the princess think that I stole the things?"

The princess hesitated as to whether it was necessary to turn against each other. A man in black robe came in with his guards. His black robe had become the casual clothes of the guards in the palace.

"The items lost from the palace are very important. This person was the only one who left the banquet. I hope she can cooperate with the investigation. The prince shouldn't object, right?"

The black-robed man stared at Xiao Yunxi with his eagle-hook eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Are you going to keep this prince's consort?"

"Your Highness has made a mistake. The one I left behind is not the Crown Prince's Consort."

Xiao Yunxi's identity is Tang Huaiming's wife, and she didn't marry into the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, so she can't be considered the Crown Prince's Consort.

"Is that what the princess meant?"

The man in black robe is her husband's confidant. He must have a reason for keeping him. Princess Qing remained silent.

Her status is higher. If Zhou Jin dares to use force, she will be killed on the spot, and maybe she can eliminate an opponent for her husband.

Could it be that the man in black robe is taking advantage of the opportunity to deal with Zhou Jin?

The man in black robe said, I didn’t, I just wanted to keep Xiao Yunxi, not to deal with Zhou Jin, this person is not someone I can afford to offend for the time being.

Princess Qing relied on her high status and acquiesced to the black robe's behavior. Dabao stood up expressionlessly, his tone questioning him from a higher position:

"Excuse me, auntie, what was lost in the palace?"

At such a young age, he could exude such an aura that Princess Qing actually felt a little pressured.

"A very important keepsake."

The study was emptied?

It is impossible for one person to move so many things in a short time. To be honest, there is no reason to keep Xiao Yunxi.

It’s the same reason as when a corrupt official’s house is robbed and he doesn’t dare to call the police.

"Important items should be placed in very important places. My mother left the table for a quarter of an hour and did not leave the side hall. How could she have stolen something? Does Princess Qing think that I am young and easy to bully?"

Dabao uses the change of address to express his attitude.

The imperial aunt has become the Princess of Qing. If she insists on keeping Xiao Yunxi, he will no longer give her face and will want to break up with her.

Princess Qing's eyes were erratic and uncertain.

She didn't know why the man in black robe insisted that Xiao Yunxi had stolen the things and wanted to keep her.

Dabao was determined to protect Xiao Yunxi. If he wanted to keep her, he would have to turn against her. If things got out of hand, unless they all got killed, the Prince Qing's Mansion would not be in the right at all.

A petite woman, while using the toilet, sneaked into the heavily guarded main courtyard of the palace and emptied the study?

If she dared to say that, the emperor would not forgive her. It was simply nonsense.

After weighing the pros and cons, Princess Qing gave in:

"It's my aunt's fault for not thinking things through. I'll escort you out of the house."

The black-robed man blocked the entrance to the main hall and was driven away by Princess Qing. After sending Dabao away, the black-robed man was still unwilling to give up:

"Princess, I can confirm that she has been into the study!"

He tracked Xiao Yunxi all the way to the main hall, relying on the sandalwood in the study.

It was made of a special drug. Even in an open and ventilated environment, it could retain its smell for a short time. Xiao Yunxi had a smell!

The princess believed the black robe's words, but it was useless for her to believe them.

It is impossible that Xiao Yunxi emptied the study room. She did not have the time to commit the crime. So the study room had already been robbed before Xiao Yunxi entered it.

Unless Zhou Jin and Dabao give up on her, they will end up falling out with each other. It is not worth it to fall out with each other and then detain someone who has nothing to do with the theft in the study.

It was unfortunate that the study was stolen, but it was also fortunate that the study was stolen. If Xiao Yunxi got unfavorable evidence, the Prince Qing's Mansion would be truly doomed.

"To be able to empty the study without anyone noticing, there must be a traitor. Seal off the palace immediately and conduct a thorough investigation, including you!"

Princess Qing made no secret of her dissatisfaction, leaving the man in black robe speechless.

If Xiao Yunxi sneaked in, they could still find an excuse. But they didn't notice that the study was emptied, which was a serious dereliction of duty. There was no reason to quibble.

The man in black robe was convinced that the whole incident was related to Xiao Yunxi. This was a man's intuition.

In the carriage,

Xiao Yunxi leaned limply against the carriage to rest, and the three little ones were extremely worried.

"Mom, let me give you a hug."

Niu Niu held her hands and blew on them. Silly child, you should blow on your head.

She ran all the way and the man in black robes could locate her. She had no choice but to use flash. She used it so many times that her head was buzzing. What's the point of this silly kid blowing his hand?

The children were all there, so Zhou Jin didn't ask too many questions. He returned to the camp and coaxed Dabao and the others to sleep before finding a chance to ask Xiao Yunxi.

"It's probably some kind of spice that stays in the air for a short time and can be traced."

"No wonder!"

Xiao Yunxi thought of the sandalwood scent in the study, it should be that,

"I found a Taoist priest in the secret room of the palace. He's a bit strange. You go and question him. I'm going to take a bath first."

He brought Zhou Jin into the space, threw him to Quanshui Mountain, and went back to the cabin to take a shower.
