For dinner today, both Rong Xiu and Lu Yi are back.

Rong Xiu did not eat when he came back, but went straight into the book and never came out.

Xia Zixing looked at Lu Yi, wasn't he going to interrogate the murderer today? Why did he come back with such a dying expression?

Lu Yi lowered his head and said nothing.

Xia Zixing came to the study with a bowl of chicken soup and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice was very soft.

The light in the study was dim, Rong Xiu was sitting there, his expression could not be seen clearly, but the aura around him was very sad.

Xia Zixing put the bowl on the desk, "What's wrong? You don't want to eat either?"

Rong Xiu didn't speak, just looked up at Xia Zixing,

"Didn't you interrogate the murderer today? Did you ask anything?"

This question made Rong Xiu's mood even lower.

"Hasn't the murderer been interrogated?"

"It's time to ask." Rong Xiu pulled Zixing to sit on his lap, leaning his head against hers.

"The murderer revealed that the person behind it was his eldest brother,"

Xia Zixing raised her head suddenly, "Prince?"

That cool-tempered Prince Rong Yun?

"Could it be a frame-up?" Xia Zixing asked?

Rong Xiu shook his head, "Severe torture and interrogation,"

"And he also said that because it's you, he should be merciful to you, otherwise the consequences would be..."

Rong Xiu didn't dare to think about what would happen to Xing'er if, like that man said, he showed no mercy.

He could not forget the fear of life and death when he and his brother were injured together at the border. Even now, when I think about it, my whole body still feels cold.

Xia Zixing thought that maybe she really had to hold back, otherwise with her strength, she would have discovered that this person was not bad when she was shopping that day.

However, during the battle last night, although the opponent's moves hit her directly in the stomach, she barely escaped.

It turned out that the other party held back.

Xia Zixing felt a sense of fear in her heart at this moment.

"How could it be the prince? What does he want those women to do?"

"Those women are all virgins, and they collect the blood of virgins to make medicine."

Xia Zixing:......

What nonsense? The prince of a dignified country actually believes this thing. It is really hopeless.

It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance. Prince Rong Yun usually looks calm and charming, but he didn't expect that he could be so vicious behind his back.

"The prince is taking the medicine I gave him, and his health is obviously much better. Why is he still doing this?"

Xia Zixing asked, she still didn't believe it.

"What the murderer said may not be true. I'll go check it out tomorrow."

"No," Rong Xiu retorted, you can't go to that kind of place, at least think about the child in your belly.

"Then bring him out and give me a few minutes." Xia Zixing said.

Rong Xiu looked down at Xia Zixing. He knew that she must have a way of making the prisoner tell the truth. She had interrogated him twice before in secret and made the prisoner spit out everything.

Rong Xiu didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with it. It would be better if another outcome could be found.

If not, he is still the eldest brother, then...

I dare not think about the consequences.

The murderer was not brought to Prince Xiu's Mansion, but was in a separate room in Jingzhao Mansion.

When Xia Zixing entered, the man was covered in blood and there was no good piece of meat on his body.

But people are awake,

When Xia Zixing came in, the man looked at her.

There was anger in his eyes. If the prince hadn't told him, he would have fought to the death, at least he wouldn't have been caught.

"Yes, you can still stay awake after all this."

Xia Zixing didn't waste any time and started hypnotizing him directly.

……

Xia Zixing came out of the room half an hour later.

Rong Xiu and King Fu were waiting outside.

Looking at King Fu's look, you can tell that he didn't sleep well last night either.

"Go and build the palace,"

The three of them returned to Prince Xiu's Mansion, and Xia Zixing told Rong Xiu and Rong Xiu the news they had learned.

It was indeed the prince who did it, but it had been done for several years.

It was done secretly before, but recently the prince's refining of medicine has reached its most critical moment, and more virgin blood is needed.

The prince's lair is in Wancheng, and this place was not chosen randomly.

Wancheng, like Licheng, is one of the big cities in Yuerong Kingdom.

The reason why the prince chose this place is because his maternal ancestor was in Wancheng.

The prince's health has always been poor, and he has been treated by dedicated personnel since he was a child. In addition to the imperial physician in the palace, he has also been taking medicine sent from Wancheng.

The medicine Wancheng made for him was made from virgin blood.

"Big brother hides it so deeply." King Fu sighed.

"The queen is from Wancheng, why didn't the prince's maternal grandfather's family come to the capital?"

King Fu said: "I don't know much about what happened back then. It should have something to do with Duke Dingguo."

Rong Xiu said nothing, how to deal with this case now.

Do you want to pull the prince out?

If the prince is not pulled out, will his medicine refining continue? Disregarding people's lives.

Prince's Mansion,

Rong Yun held the letter in his hand, his face changing.

The letter still came from Wancheng, Liu Cheng was arrested, and he hoped that the prince could rescue him.

Rong Yun sat down in frustration. Liu Cheng must have been caught by King Xiu and the others. He was not very clear about Liu Cheng's character, but he knew the methods of Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment. It was difficult for an individual to persist under those methods. Come down.

What's more, if Rong Xiu interrogates him personally, the worst result is that Rong Yun has been confessed.

Two days passed and Rong Xiu didn't come to him. Three days passed and Rong Xiu still didn't come to him. Not even anyone from Jingzhao Mansion came.

Rong Yun couldn't sit still.

The prince has been in a bad mood these days and often stays in the study. The princess was worried about him and came to see him.

"Your Highness?" Chen Jun called him softly,

Rong Yun raised his head and looked at Chen Jun,

Chen Yujiao's beautiful face was full of worry, "But what happened? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Rong Yun took the medicine for two months, and his health was now as good as a normal person.

But Rong Yun knew that his lifespan would not be too long. This was what Yan Zhixun had told him before when he was treating his illness.

Rong Yun was unwilling to give in. He was the prince of a country, how could his life be short-lived?

His physical weakness caused him to lose a lot since childhood. If his mother hadn't left him the identity of the legitimate prince, he might have died long ago.

The girl he liked back then didn't marry him because of his health problems. Although that is all in the past.

But the damage caused will always be indelible in his heart.

Rong Yun took Chen Jun's hand and said, "I'm fine, but I've been a little busy lately and haven't spent much time with you."

"I am not an ignorant person. Your Highness is busy but also needs to take care of your health."

Chen Jun said with a smile. The scowl on the prince's brows has not dissipated, which shows that something really happened.

"How is your stomach lately?" Rong Yun asked,

Chen Jun is already more than three months pregnant. Since the last time he got into trouble, he has been very careful not to attend palace banquets.

"It's good, but I get tired easily. But grandma said this is normal. A woman's body will be much heavier during pregnancy, so she gets tired easily."

After hearing this, Rong Yun nodded, stood up and led Chen Jun out.

"You are bored at home every day. The imperial doctor said that after three months, you can move around properly. You can move around with Princess Xiu and others. They also have experience and can share it with you." Rong Yun said.

Chen Jun felt that what he said was right, "Does Your Highness agree that I, my concubine, should move around more?" Rong Yun had not allowed her to make any movements before. Even though he knew he really wanted that aspect of life, he still held it back.

I didn't expect that she would be asked to walk around today.

Chen Jun is not a fool. What is the implication of Rong Yun's words?
