Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

"Yes, besides the slaves, many people have seen it."

After hearing the boy's answer, the governor stayed there for a while, then waved his hand and asked the boy to retreat.

"I know, please go down first."

"Yes."

The boy got the order and retreated in obedience.

The governor still stood where he was, still unable to digest this fact.

On the one hand, they couldn't figure out why nothing happened to Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian after the housekeeper administered a sufficient dose of poison. On the other hand, I can't figure out why Xiao Mobai directly executed someone just because the housekeeper failed to hold the fruit.

The moment he just learned that the housekeeper was executed by Xiao Mobai, the governor had doubts about the housekeeper. I wonder if he drugged Xiao Mobai.

However, this suspicion only appeared in his mind for a moment before being denied by the governor.

Even if the housekeeper wanted to betray him, or out of fear of the prince's majesty, he did not drug Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian's food, it would not risk his own life.

So this possibility has been ruled out, and now it can only mean that the problem lies with Xiao Mobai.

But what kind of mistake was it? Now that the housekeeper is dead, he can only find the reason himself.

But the first thing he needs to make sure now is that the housekeeper is indeed dead and not a trap designed by Xiao Mobai for him.

It has to be said that a person who can be entrusted with important tasks by the Eighth Prince thousands of miles away still has a certain sense and does not directly believe Xiao Mobai's performance.

But this kind of mind is no match for the weather-beaten Xiao Mobai. His big dream will eventually cost him a heavy price.

"Come on!"

After figuring out the doubts, the governor called his servants over again.

"Master, what are your orders?"

The boy who had been waiting outside the door to listen to orders immediately appeared at the door when he heard the governor's voice.

"Did you see the butler being executed with your own eyes?"

"Back to my lord, the servants did not see the butler being executed. They only saw the guards around His Royal Highness taking the butler away."

Sure enough, the servants in his house did not witness Xiao Mobai executing the housekeeper.

The governor thought for a while and asked: "Where did the prince's guards take the housekeeper?"

The boy replied respectfully: "Go back to me, sir. When I saw the prince's guards, I escorted the housekeeper to the back mountain."

"Okay, I see, you step back."

After getting the answer he wanted, the governor sent the people out again.

The governor decided to go to the courtyard where Xiao Mobai lived in person to find out the truth of the matter.

After making this decision, the governor arranged his clothes and went to the courtyard where Xiao Mobai lived.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the servant in the mansion did not forget to remind the governor that Xiao Mobai was not in his own courtyard, but in the courtyard of the future crown princess.

The governor was surprised again when he learned the news.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mobai was so interested in this woman and followed her closely. It seems that this news needs to be conveyed to the Eighth Prince.

But the governor didn't know at this moment that he would never have the chance to send a message back to the Eighth Prince.

"Knock down."

While thinking about what he wanted to say to Xiao Mobai later, the governor gently knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door and waiting for a while, Xiao Mobai's voice did not come from the room.

It's not that Xiao Mobai wasn't in the room, or that he didn't hear, but that he was holding Gu Nian lingeringly at the moment and didn't want to pay attention to the people outside the door.

He finally coaxed the little girl to sit in his arms, and while he was kissing her gently, there was an annoying knock on the door.

"Brother Mo Bai, there is a knock on the door." Gu Nian put his hand on Xiao Mobai's chest and refused Xiao Mobai's thin lips to ask again.

Originally, Gu Nian was held in Xiao Mobai's arms and was being kissed until she felt dizzy. The knock on the door instantly woke Gu Nian up.

"I know, but I don't want to care about him."

Xiao Mobai thought with his toes and knew who was knocking on the door at this moment.

He had just killed his henchman, and no one else would come to the door except him.

Originally, Xiao Mobai thought that it was already dark outside and the governor would wait until the next day to come find him. Unexpectedly, he came to the door so quickly.

It can be seen that the butler he killed was more important to the governor than he expected.

It seems that he really made the right decision to keep this butler. He must know a lot about the governor.

"How can that be done? He has already come and knocked on the door. It must be very important to find Brother Mo Bai."

Not only Xiao Mobai, but Gu Nian also guessed who the visitor would be. She also knew that Xiao Mobai did not kill the housekeeper. Xiao Mobai would not hide this kind of thing from her.

I hid the matter from the Eighth Prince from Gu Nian before because I was worried that she would be scared. But after what happened last time, I knew that the little girl was very courageous, so Xiao Mobai would no longer hide this kind of thing.

In fact, Gu Nian was a little grateful to the governor for coming, at least she no longer had to be tormented by brother Mo Bai.

"Oh... OK, just follow what Nian'er said and let you go for now."

Xiao Mobai sighed lowly, how could he not know what Gu Nian was thinking.

The governor waited outside the door for a while and couldn't help but knock on the door again.

"Your Highness, this is the official. The official heard that the housekeeper in the mansion accidentally offended His Highness, so he came here to apologize."

Although it was getting dark now, it was far from time to rest, so the governor knocked on the door and asked.

The next moment, the governor heard footsteps coming from the door, and then Xiao Mobai opened the door to the room.

"The governor is here, what do you want?"

Xiao Mobai lowered his eyes, looked at the governor condescendingly, and spoke indifferently.

Although the governor and Xiao Mobai were standing on the same plane, he was a head shorter than Xiao Mobai.

"Your Highness, I heard that the housekeeper in the mansion offended Your Highness, so I came here to apologize."

"It doesn't matter. I have already punished him, so I won't blame you anymore."

"I would like to thank Your Highness for your magnanimity, but I wonder how Your Highness punished the housekeeper?"

The governor looked up at Xiao Mobai and tentatively asked about the butler's whereabouts.

"Since your lord knows that I punished the housekeeper, don't you know what happened to the housekeeper? I remember that there were many servants of your house around at that time."

Xiao Mobai's voice was still cold, and he didn't answer the governor's questions.

"Going back to Your Highness, I only heard that Your Highness's guards took the housekeeper away and said they wanted to put him to death. But I think that because of this, Your Highness will not put the housekeeper to death, right?"

There was something in the governor's words. It seemed like a flattery and inquiry, but in fact it was a secret jab at Xiao Mobai. The implication is that he executed the housekeeper because of such a thing, which was clearly intolerable.
