Until after dinner, Rong Xiu didn't come back, and neither did Lu Yi.

"Qiuyue, go and ask Er, when will the prince come back?"

"Okay, Princess,"

It's completely dark outside. It's early spring and it's still a bit cold at night.

Qiuyue walked through the corridor and came under a tree. She raised her head and looked up. In fact, Qiuyue could not see anything except leaves and branches.

But she knew Lu Er was up there,

The princess said it.

"The princess asked you, when will the prince and Lu Yi come back?" Lu Yi was added by Qiu Yue herself.

Lu Er hid in the tree, shook his head, and found that Qiu Yue couldn't see him, so he had to answer aloud.

"do not know,"

"Can I find it?" Qiuyue asked.

"I want to guard the princess's yard."

Qiuyue kicked the tree stump, walked back, and entered the house.

"Princess, I don't know."

Xia Zixing went to sleep until she felt her body sink and Rong Xiu came back.

Xia Zixing muttered, "Why are you coming back so late?"

"Did I wake you up?" Rong Xiu gently placed a hand on her bulging belly.

"Well, I didn't sleep deeply either,"

Xia Zixing obviously woke up and sat up.

"Did something happen in the capital?"

"Well, how do you know? What did Lu Er say?" Rong Xiu asked.

"No, I guess,"

Rong Xiu told Xia Zixing about the murderer.

"All of us have searched for several days and found no clues about him. It's as if he doesn't exist." Rong Xiu frowned and said,

The reason why Rong Xiu came back so late was to wait outside in the dark to see if he could wait until the murderer came out.

Obviously, today is not a day for murderers. The two brothers stayed until almost sunset, but the murderer did not show up.

"I went out with Rong Yu today, and I felt someone was staring at us. But Lu Er said he didn't notice it, and I didn't see anyone either."

Rong Xiu's eyes were worried, "You don't go out much these days. If you're bored, go next door to play with Liu Qing."

Rong Xiu went out early the next morning. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast because someone from Jingzhao Mansion came to call him and said that another case happened last night.

Xia Zixing didn't think much about it. After eating breakfast, he went to Prince Fu's Mansion next door.

Similarly, King Fu also left early in the morning,

Liu Qing was also at home alone, with twins.

Xia Zixing hugged one and said, "Zhuang Zhuang, you are so handsome today," because Xia Zixing hugged him and didn't even cry.

"That's sweet, sister," Liu Qing said with a smile.

Xia Zixing pouted, wondering why he had to cry, it turned out he was not that boy Zhuang Zhuang.

That kid didn't know what it meant. Every time Xia Zixing hugged him, he was unhappy, as if he had a grudge against her.

"It's still our sweet and cute one, pretty and cute."

Tiantian was made to laugh by Xia Zixing,

After playing with the child for a while, he asked the wet nurse to take the child away.

"Sister, Prince Fu doesn't know what he's busy with, does second brother do the same?" Liu Qing asked.

"Yes, your second brother was called away early in the morning, and your fifth brother should have been called away too, right?"

"Yeah, I haven't even eaten any food,"

At noon, Xia Zixing ate at Prince Fu's Mansion. After eating, he went back to Prince Xiu's Mansion to rest.

During this period, Rong Xiu never came back.

In the evening, Uncle Chen came in with a pile of account books and said, "Princess, these are the account books from last month. Do you want to see them?"

Xia Zixing was startled, why should he show it to her?

But in the blink of an eye, she didn't know how much financial resources Xiu Wangfu had, so let's take a look.

"Uncle Chen, put it here and I'll take a look later,"

Uncle Chen put it down and said, "Princess, this is just a part of the account books of Xiu Wang's Mansion. There are still some that are not here on the way. I will send them to you when they come."

Xia Zixing looked at the pile of ledgers on the table and instantly lost the mood to read. This was only part of it.

She would have to watch these for a long time, if not more.

Forget it, "Uncle Chen, I thought about it and decided not to read it. Just give it to where you got it."

After hearing this, Uncle Chen smiled kindly, but he did not embarrass the princess.

The princess has always had a simple temperament and doesn't care about the affairs in the palace.

Qiuyue came in and looked at the account book that Uncle Chen carried out, "Princess, why don't you take a look, I really want to know how much money is there to repair the palace."

Xia Zixing patted Qiuyue's head and said, "If you want to see it, then go and see it. Uncle Chen only has a part of it, and there are still many things that haven't come yet. Can you finish it?"

Qiuyue was instantly discouraged. She couldn't finish it. She couldn't finish it at all.

In a word, if there are more ledgers, there will be more money in the house.

"Princess, I haven't seen Lu Yi from yesterday to today,"

"I didn't see it either." Xia Zixing said lightly, you didn't see what happened to Lu Yiguan.

Qiuyue pursed her lips and went out.

Don't think she doesn't know that the prince came back in the middle of the night last night and was in the room with the princess.

It was late at night again, and Rong Xiu came back with a cold air.

He quietly got into bed and slept with Xia Zixing in his arms.

Xia Zixing woke up very early in the morning because she was thinking about Rong Xiu. At this time, Rong Xiu hadn't left yet.

He asked in confusion: "Did you come back very late last night?"

"Yeah," Rong Xiu simply hummed, he was too sleepy.

Xia Zixing continued to sleep.

It wasn't until Rong Xiu was full of sleep that the two of them took a shower together.

While eating breakfast, Xia Zixing asked: "What happened yesterday?"

"A girl in the west of the city disappeared, and several people in her family were killed. It is estimated that the murderer was discovered when he went to arrest the girl, and then he was silenced."

"No clues at all?"

Rong Xiu shook his head in frustration, drank the soup in the bowl, and wiped his mouth casually.

"Don't go out these days. I guess the murderer must still be in the city looking for targets during the day."

"I'm a pregnant woman, how can he attack me?"

Rong Xiu stared at Xia Zixing's appearance: "But you are a beauty,"

"According to the investigation, everyone arrested by this murderer was a woman with outstanding appearance."

Xia Zixing chuckled, "Can you tell from the deceased's body his martial arts?"

"It should be quite powerful. The deceased was killed by a palm of internal force."

Xia Zixing didn't ask again.

In the morning, Xia Zixing took Qiuyue to go shopping again, but Lu Er wanted to stop him.

"Two, you don't have to follow us today. You can stay at home by yourself," Xia Zixing said.

Lu Er disagreed, "Princess, it's not safe in the city now, so you should go out less often."

"I have something to do today and I must go out. If you must follow me, then you should follow Qiuyue."

After Xia Zixing finished speaking, he walked out directly.

The location of Prince Xiu's Mansion is very good. After leaving the mansion, you can walk a short distance to the main street. The street was quite lively in the morning.

Xia Zixing walked in the center of the street, walking slowly, looking at the things on the shops on both sides, but not buying anything.

Qiuyue, who was behind, bought some snacks and ate them.

"Qiuyue, what do you want, princess?"

Qiuyue answered while eating, "How do I know? The princess didn't tell me,"

Xia Zixing listened in all directions and looked in all directions. She had been waiting for that person to appear.

The person who stared at her for so long last time should appear today, but now that she has walked the entire street, that person's gaze has not yet appeared.

Xia Zixing found a street teahouse and sat down: "Waiter, bring me a pot of tea."

Qiuyue and Lu Er sat down next to her,

"Princess, are you tired? Why don't you go back?" Lu Er said,

"I'll go back after I finish drinking this cup of tea and take a rest."

While Xia Zixing was drinking tea, two girls caught her eye.

Not an acquaintance, but I have seen him before.

Those are the two girls from Duke Dingguo's Palace. They were two concubines before. Since Fang Ling's death, they have become the legitimate ladies of Duke Dingguo's Palace.

These two people are quite beautiful. Aren't they afraid of being spotted by bad guys when they walk outside so blatantly?

Or is it that the Dingguogong Mansion didn't receive the news?
