“i missed you.” Xiao ran opened the cell door and walked in.
he sat down beside her, poured a cup of tea from the teapot, and took a sip. holding her hand, he told her about the theft of the ministry of revenue.
“you took over the case?” the eldest princess frowned.
“Yes.” xiao ran nodded.
“how’s the investigation going?”
“Other than the original Minister of Revenue, almost everyone else was involved and many people were arrested. Just now, I took people to the Ministry of Revenue again, and the account books were destroyed. From this, I can infer that the mastermind behind the scenes is not after the money, but the other treasures in the warehouse. The money is just a side note, or used to confuse the eyes.”
“it seems like you’re not far from solving the case.” the royal princess smiled.
She stood up from the chair and sat in his arms like a little girl next door. She reached out and picked up a piece of white Lotus cake with her fingers and put it to his mouth. what do you plan to do next? ”
“Wait for the rabbit.” xiao ran smiled.
“You’re that confident that they’ll definitely make a move?”
a person’s name is like a tree’s shadow. Since I’ve taken over this matter, it would be strange if they weren’t afraid with the abilities I’ve shown before.
The Royal Princess understood that Xiao ran was forcing them to make a move.
“Even if they don’t make a move, I still have other methods,” he added.
“kekekekeke”
a bell-like smile came from her mouth. her smile was so beautiful that people couldn’t help but be obsessed with her.
it was the same for xiao ran. the two of them were almost done except for the last layer.
he held her waist and kissed her immediately.
“Wuwuwuwu!”
After a long time.
Just as the two separated, the eldest Princess waved her pink fist and hit him in a bad mood. She then rolled her eyes at him,”can’t you be gentler?”
“be careful next time.”
He took a sip of tea.
Xiao ran stopped smiling and asked seriously, ” “What’s the situation on the first Prince’s side?”
“you suspect that this matter is related to them?”
“Yes.” Xiao ran did not deny it and nodded honestly.
“There are not many people who would dare to do this. Other than your good nephews, I can’t think of anyone else. They would even dare to kill their own father. A mere Ministry of Revenue is really nothing in their eyes.”
“!!!”the eldest princess was speechless.
She threw him a pair of big white eyes and said in an unpleasant tone, ” “is there anyone like you?”
Xiao ran scraped her nose and took out Ten Ten thousand-year-old red spiritual dates. He placed them in front of her and placed one on her tender and attractive little mouth.”be good! Open your mouth.”
“yes.” The eldest Princess opened her mouth cooperatively and ate the ten-thousand-year-old red spiritual date.
He continued the previous topic.
” they’re all quiet, but i have a feeling that something bad is about to happen. it’s like a bigger conspiracy is brewing. ”
“what about the other princes?”
“They are the same. All of them are very honest. They don’t even dare to come into contact with the civil and military officials.” The eldest Princess said.
“i’m afraid you’ve been deceived by them.” xiao ran said solemnly.
“did i lie to you?”
looking at her puzzled eyes, xiao ran revealed his guess, ” “Think about it carefully. So many princes have died, and now is the best chance to fight for the position of Crown Prince, but what about all of them? You’re not even trying to win over the civil and military officials. Don’t you think it’s strange that something is wrong?”
I’ve also thought about this problem, but Sheng Wen is suppressing it. With his current temper, if he doesn’t take the initiative to give it and someone dares to randomly reach out, even if it’s a Prince, he will end up very miserable.
xiao ran shook his head again and poked her on the forehead. ” “You’re so smart, but you still can’t see through it?”
the eldest princess’s expression changed. she understood.
Previously, she was unwilling to think in the worst direction. Now that Xiao ran had reminded her, she felt as if the sky had collapsed.
“if your guess is true, then sheng wen is in deep trouble again,” he said solemnly.
“You want to send him a message?” Xiao ran asked curiously.
“yes.” the eldest princess nodded.
no matter what, since he knows, we can’t just leave him be. As for whether he believes it or not, that’s his own business.
there was one more thing that she did not say. if she sent a letter, emperor sheng wen would probably overthink it and think that she was plotting something in the dark.
the eldest princess knew this, but she still did it.
“It’s getting late, I should go back.” Xiao ran stood up from his chair.
he left the cell, closed the door, and walked out.
after such a long time, the mastermind must be ready, right?
When they reached the hall on the first floor, Xiao Zhou quickly walked up to them. “brother xiao, what do we do now?”
“off work!” Xiao ran said.
the sky was already dark.
“Argh! What about this case?”
bang! bang!
Xiao ran knocked him on the head in a bad mood. don’t you want to go back earlier? ”
Zhou chuckled as he thought of sister Yan’s good points.
these days, his parents ‘attitude had changed completely. they didn’t talk to each other in the past, but now they were living together and getting along well.
“Then I’ll be leaving!”
“Yes.” xiao ran nodded.
little zhou left with his men in a hurry.
he left the imperial prison.
Looking at the night sky, there were a few stars shining slowly in the night sky. The Starlight illuminated the night sky. He was not sure if the mastermind would still make a move. If he did not, he would have to carry out the second set of plans.
he changed his direction and walked towards the soft water tofu shop.
He had been busy during the day and had no time to go over. No matter what, he had to squeeze out some time at night to take a look.
soft water tofu shop.
the two aunts sat across the table. the table was filled with dishes, but neither of them had much of an appetite. they had their own thoughts.
Shui Ling was thinking about Xiao ran. She looked at the door from time to time and listened attentively. She thought to herself, why isn’t he here yet?
Shui Rou’s thoughts were even more complicated. She thought about what happened last night. Why did Xiao ran enter her room? And even took her chastity sand?
At that time, she had drunk the rice wine and was drunk. She was in a daze and did not have much strength, so she was confused.
When she woke up in the morning, she was shocked. If Shui Ling knew about this, how could she face her?
She was his niece!
She chewed on the steamed bun and did not move her chopsticks for a long time. She lowered her head and her heart was in a mess.
what if xiao ran came over later? how could he meet him?
Would he come to find her again?
shui ling didn’t know what she was thinking. seeing that her aunt was still eating the bun, she kindly picked up a large piece of beef and put it in her bowl.”aunty, why are you only eating steamed buns and not vegetables? did i not cook well tonight?”
he looked suspicious.
“that can’t be right! it’s still the same smell as it was during the day.”
“it’s, it’s delicious!” Shui Rou replied in a panic.
She tried her best to squeeze out a smile to make it look more natural. I’m just thinking that our lives are getting better day by day all thanks to Xiao ran’s help.
she didn’t want to mention him, but she couldn’t help but mention him.
she asked herself in her heart, did she really like him?
As soon as this thought appeared, she was shocked. He was the person that Shui Ling liked, and she could not be moved by him no matter what.
“Yup!” Water Bell agreed.
in the past, I had to save on even steamed buns, let alone fish and meat. I couldn’t wait to split a single Wen into two. But now, I don’t have to worry about money anymore. I can buy whatever I want to eat. I even have money to buy Rouge, face powder, and pretty new clothes and jewelry.
She stared at little aunt.
she didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to think that her aunt was more beautiful than before and had a more mature charm.
“Aunty, you seem to have become prettier,” she said.
“Nonsense! I’ve always been like this.”
“It’s true! you’re very charming now, even i can’t help but be moved.”
Shui Rou was shocked and didn’t dare to continue the conversation. She changed the topic, ” “Hurry up and eat!”
