Chapter 122: CH 122

Ji Yu Qing looked at Ji Ling Xue with expectation, waiting for her to answer.

Ji Yu Qing was ridiculing in her mind: Older sister, you even have the nerve to speak of your thirty or so silvers, don't you find it humiliating?

A layout of the interior was missing from the prince's residence, this was a major issue, prince wouldn't have made it publicly known, at most he would have told Ji Ling Xue.

Mo Xiang: Princess, hasn't you put your personal gold and silver into a wine jar and buried under the jasmine tree in the courtyard, along with wine jars with wine inside, which thief would guess where you hid your personal money.

Ji Ling Xue slapped the table suddenly jumping up, this movement was so abrupt, Ji Yu Qing jumped in shock, "Older sister..."

Ji Ling Xue said: "Prince's study was robbed, what was stolen? What happened to the thief, there's clearly a storeroom to steal from, what did they steal from the study, a book?"

Ji Yu Qing only felt like a crow flew over her cawing...she held back the urge to roll her eyes, smiling she said: "I also heard this, is there something else that you ought to ask prince himself?"

Ji Ling Xue gave an oh, glancing at the sky outside: "Mo Xiang, go deliver an cloak to the prince, it's no longer early, prince ought to have returned."

Mo Xiang left, Ji Ling Xue turned to look at Ji Yu Qing: "If younger sister waits here, prince will come back soon, you can personally ask him."

Ji Yu Qing's forehead was filled with black lines, she would only go running to Xiao Yi Chen to ask if she became stupid, did you find out the map in your study was stolen by me.

Ji Yu Qing shivered standing up she smiled, "It's nothing, I'm going back first, send my regards to the prince for me older sister." Finished speaking she walked off as quickly as possible.

Ji Ling Xue smiled in amusement, tossing the cup Ji Yu Qing had used before onto the floor, breaking into pieces.

Her things, she didn't like Ji Yu Qing touching it, even a teacup was out of the question!

Xiao Yi Chen left the palace, from a distance he saw Mo Xiang standing at the gates of the palace, Mo Xiang came representing Ji Ling Xue, thus Xiao Yi Chen's mood was very good.

Walking to Mo Xiang, he took the cloak Mo Xiang offered and put it on, Xiao Yi Chen said: "Go back and tell the princess, this prince will go to her tonight, prince needs to take a trip to the Ministry of Justice, I'll return a little late."

Mo Xiang nodded, thought about it and spoke of Ji Yu Qing probing Ji Ling Xue today.

Xiao Yi Chen's eyes flashed, he sneered, finally finding out the map which had been stolen was switched, it seems, she will go to steal again from his study, this time he needs to set it up so she'll be caught red-handed.

Xiao Yi Chen nodded: "Good, this prince understands, go back first."

Mo Xiang returned to the prince's residence and told Ji Ling Xue exactly what Xiao Yi Chen said, Ji Ling Xue nodded, she had already warned Xiao Yi Chen anyway, how he dealt with it has nothing to do with her.

Ji Ling Xue turned round to again research her poisons, to try out the poison's toxicity, Ji Ling Xue told Mo Xiang and An Ge to bring back some rabbits.

On hearing this Mo Xiang turned pale, rabbits were such adorable creatures, the princess was so heartless to hurt such adorable creatures.

Ji Ling Xue was moved by Mo Xiang's hesitant expression, telling the two to catch some rats, everyone wanted to kill  harmful creatures like rat, it wasn't cruel for her to get rid of the harmful things in society?

In the warehouse, An Ge and Mo Xiang both began looking for mouse holes in the corners, on such a cold day, the rats were probably hibernating.

An Ge asked in curiosity as he searched: "Mo Xiang, what does princess want with rats?" He had heard the princess was a very talented cook, she wouldn't want to cook rat meat...

Mo Xiang glanced at An Ge, "It's none of your concern what the princess wants to do, she told you to find rats, you go find rats, why talk so much."

An Ge rubbed his nose, miss Mo Xiang was very fierce, had he offended her?

The two of them looked for an entire morning and only caught a rat, they even almost overturned all the things in the warehouse.

Ji Ling Xue looked at the black haired rat in the cage, then looked up at the dishevelled Mo Xiang, she could imagine how chaotic it was catching the rat.

Ji Ling Xue smiled: "Thank you for your hard work Mo Xiang, you can have half a day off this afternoon, you and An Ge can take a walk."

Mo Xiang nodded, even though she didn't like this current shadow who didn't speak much, but thinking about how it wasn't too peaceful outside, she could only allow the shadow to protect her.

Ji Ling Xue said she was giving her leave, but it was so she could go check up on Qingfengyashe restaurant, listen to new gossip from the customers.

Mo Xiang left, the new shadow was curious about everything, but he only kept his questions to himself, he followed Mo Xiang to Qinfengyashe secretly.

Xiao Si enthusiastically welcomed Mo Xiang upstairs when he saw her, "Miss Mo Xiang, you've come...I haven't seen you in a few days, you've become even prettier..."

Xiao Yi Chen sitting in a private room was shocked when he heard the words "Miss Mo Xiang", pushing open a crack in the door, he really saw the Mo Xiang he knew.

Chi Feng who sat opposite Xiao Yi Chen also saw the back of Mo Xiang: "Yi, isn't that your residence's maid, the princess's personal maid, how can she be so familiar with the restaurant's waiter?"

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Maybe...she often comes here to buy food for Xue Er."

Chi Feng's lips twitched, looking at Xiao Yi Chen like a very wealthy person, "Heavens, the food here isn't cheap, aren't you afraid your princess will bankrupt you with her eating?"

Xiao Yi Chen laughed, "This prince's property can feed our princess for an entire lifetime."

Chi Feng felt sick, clicking his tongue he sighed, a man in love...

At this moment the few villagers eating in the main hall began to gossip, "Ai, next door's Wang Da Hu's daughter went to the river to wash clothes after dinner, she suddenly disappeared, Wang Da Hu searched the river until dark, he only saw that bucket of dry clothes, his daughter had disappeared without a trace, his hair has turned white with worry."

"This is the unknown number of girl who have gone missing, the authorities weren't helpful, they have no clues after a month, dead or alive no one knows."

"Ai, you need to keep a tight watch over your daughter, don't let her out for no reason when it gets dark."

"My daughter is only five years old, I keep an eye on her..."

Xiao Yi Chen inner martial arts was profound, he heard every word they said.

Every now and then Chi Feng would look at the serious Xiao Yi Chen as he ate.

In the morning, Xiao Yi Chen had looked over the files at the Ministry of Justice, all the missing girls were around twelve years old, at night they had either been working or walking along, two of them were maids of rich families, the head of these households had come out to search for the missing maids but thought the maids had eloped, and didn't pay much attention, what's more they didn't report it to the authorities. 

Until it was a young girl who went missing, she helped her parent's set up a vendor's stall selling shoes, that day business was good, that girl had set up that stall until late, only when the sky was almost black did she pack up and return home, but she had disappeared without a trace halfway home.

After the authorities received the report they immediately began an investigation, this girl had a very simple life and didn't offend anyone, her family had also arranged a marriage for her, no one expected her to suddenly disappear.

The investigation began half a month ago, the head herb picker of the Dong village went up the mountain to pick herbs, she didn't return after three days, the authorities searched the mountain top to the valley floor yet found no one.

The case they spoke about in the hall just now was the first incidence, there was still no clues, the Ministry of Justice investigation came up with nothing, so they passed the case to the Justice of Peace to handle, the Justice of Peace reported this to the imperial court, now his imperial uncle was especially concerned about this so that he can use it to distract Xiao Yi Chen, who told Xiao Yi Chen to offend him, how could he not dash the other person's spirit?

Xiao Yi Chen could have refused, after all he was a prince, he had no obligation to deal with these matters, the bored Xiao Yi Chen however agreed, not because he was very confident in his own abilities, but there was definitely something bigger going on behind these missing girls cases, it would be another great achievement when he figured it out.

The more he does now, when Xiao Yi Mo wants to get rid of him in the future, he needed to carefully consider it.

At this moment Mo Xiang sat in the private room on the second floor listening to the conversation in the hall, looking at the sprouts by her hand, the restaurant seems to be getting more and more business, there was also an increase in customers coming back.

Xiao Si politely presented a cup of hot tea to Mo Xiang, "Miss Mo Xiang, you came alone, it's so dangerous, do you know a lot of girls have gone missing in the capital, I'm very worried for you."

Mo Xiang smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't come alone, princess sent a bodyguard with me."

Xiao Si gave an oh, "That's good, I feel relieved."

Then after looking over the account book, Mo Xiang got up ready to leave, thinking of something, she called for Xiao Si to prepare two plates of refreshments and pack them into boxes, putting the account book at the bottom of the food container.

Carrying the food container, Mo Xiang once again walked past Xiao Yi Chen private room to downstairs, Chi Feng looked at her then clicked his tongue without saying anything.

Mo Xiang returned to the prince's residence with the food containers, from afar she saw a plain carriage stopped outside the prince's residence, she went and asked the driver out of curiosity, "You are?"

The carriage curtain was raised, an incomparably handsome and imposing man appeared, he smiled: "I came to find the princess, is she here?"

Some other man had come to find the princess, Mo Xiang was on alert towards the man, "Who are you?"

The man smiled, waving his snow white sleeve, he waved away the falling snow in front of him, then he said: "I am your princess's older cousin."

Mo Xiang bowed, turning to find Ji Ling Xue.

Ji Ling Xue raised an eyebrow having heard what was said, "Older cousin?"

She did indeed have a cousin, ever since her mother passed away, she had no contact with the maternal side of her family.

"Take me to see." Ji Ling Xue raised her skirt ready to leave, she was stopped by Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang said: "My princess, you don't know etiquette, older cousin is an outside man, prince isn't in the residence, you have to meet him through a screen if you want to see him."

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, there were so many etiquettes just to see a relative, rules were so troublesome.

Ji Ling Xue waved her hand: "I'm a foolish princess, those etiquettes are pointless as far as I'm concerned." She picked up her skirt and walked out after she spoke.

Mo Xiang hurriedly followed her holding an umbrella, "Princess, wait for me, it's snowing heavily..."

Ji Ling Xue walked out of the residence in the heavy snow, after seeing her cousin's face, she couldn't help open her mouth in shock, "Emp..."

"Older cousin" made a quiet gesture placing his finger against his lips, beaming: "Younger cousin, long time no see, are you so happy to see me that you're speechless?"
