With the head guard's order, the guards behind came in a line, ignoring Ji Yu Qing and Mo Xiang standing at the door.
Mo Xiang angrily said: "Head guard, what is the meaning of this, who gave you the gall to search princess's courtyard?"
Head guard curled his lips in distain, she was merely a has-been princess, she really still thought of herself as a person, maybe one day she wouldn't be here. Of course, these words were only spoken in head guard's mind.
"Princess forgive me, we're only executing orders, please pardon us." Head guard's tone wasn't as nice as when he spoke with Ji Yu Qing.
Mo Xiang looked at Ji Ling Xue then at the head guard, her heart was restless, just now there was a man's voice from princess's room, prince couldn't have found out, sending someone over to catch adulterers...
Mo Xiang anxious appearance was seen by the head guard, he looked at Mo Xiang's stature, he couldn't see any resemblance between her and the demon levelled martial artist of the thief.
Ji Ling Xue blinked, turning around she said to the guards who were turning over her room: "Take more care, those were given by prince, if they get broken, you won't be able to compensate."
The guard holding a worn out bowl who was about to smash it hesitated out of embarrassment, the guard who had just pulled open the cupboard slowed down.
The head guard asked: "Princess could you not be curious as to what we're looking for, or do you already know the answer?"
Ji Ling Xue's reaction was completely different from Ji Yu Qing, it made him very curious to her thoughts.
Ji Ling Xue turned her head, looking at head guard with a foolish expression, "You didn't tell me what you're looking for, how would I know, I'm not a worm inside your stomach?"
The head guard looked awkward, e....he shouldn't have any delusions about this fool.

At the same time, sitting in the drawing room Xiao Yi Chen obtained the letter found in Ji Yu Qing's room, the crooked writing on it, looked like the writing of a child who had just learned to write.
"Prince's treasured scroll is beautiful, I borrowed it to admire for two days, I've returned it today." Seeing the crooked writing, Xiao Yi Chen's eyebrows trembled, feeling his prestige as a prince had been ridiculed.
"Someone come!" He roared in the drawing room, the atmosphere in the residence immediately fell to freezing point, even the mouse passing by sped up.
The guards stood in front of Xiao Yi Chen under immense pressure, "Prince."
Xiao Yi Chen asked, "Has that extremely daring thief been found?"
It's been so long, why was there no news at all, it seems the head guard should be replaced.
A guard replied: "In response to prince, most of the courtyards in the residence including imperial concubine Qing's have been searched, right now only the rightful princess's courtyard remains...the head guard is still searching."
"Ji Ling Xue..." Xiao Yi Chen frowned, turning around he walked out.
Ji Ling Xue yawned, before her head guard's brows knitted tighter, they had searched every nook and cranny of the residence, in such a short time the thief seemed to have vanished, how was he to explain to the prince if he can't find them.
"Prince is here." Behind him came the sound of a guard announcing.
Ji Ling Xue lifted her head to see Xiao Yi Chen breaking through the night walking with anger coming off him.
Mo Xiang was terrified, tugging Ji Ling Xue's sleeve, leaning closer to her ear she said: "Princess, did prince come because you..." Because princess you have an illicit lover?
Seeing the instability in Mo Xiang's eyes, Ji Ling Xue gave her a reassuring smile.
Xiao Yi Chen walked to head guard asking: "Have you found them?"
