"Although our Highness is just the concubine of King Lizhou, we can't help but now he has become King Yu of Shangjing City.

Little girl, I advise you to stop using those little tricks to seduce men. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they pretending to be in front of me? "

Yuan Tong'er burst out laughing.

"You sound like someone who has experienced this before. I bet you, an old fox, have seduced a man before? Who did you seduce? It couldn't be Prince Yu, right? Are you still eating young grass?"

"Smelly girl, what did you say?!"

Aunt Hu became so angry that she grabbed Yuan Tong'er's hair cloak and almost lifted her up.

"what is this?"

As she spoke, she pulled up the fur cloak. Ren Yuantong'er couldn't resist no matter how hard she tried. She didn't hold on for a second before she pushed her to the ground again.

Yuan Tong'er could only let her pull the hair cloak, secretly thinking that this body was too weak.

Aunt Hu turned over the fur cloak she tore off Yuan Tong'er's body, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay, not only did you steal the chicken, but you also dared to steal such a luxurious fur cloak?! I have to teach you a lesson for His Highness today!"

After saying that, he stretched out his big hand and hit Yuan Tong'er hard.

Yuan Tong'er's little body had been tortured to the point of losing its strength. Sheng Sheng saw the slap getting closer and closer but couldn't resist, so she subconsciously closed her eyes.

But the slap never came, and she opened her eyes again.

In the dimness, an indigo-purple robe stood in front of her against the light, and a big hand with sharp bones firmly grasped the wrist that hit her.

"Your Highness?"

Aunt Hu gave a shaky cry, and was thrown aside by Qu Baiyu the next second.

"I don't know, but you have the final say in the house now. Who are you going to teach her a lesson for?"

His eyes were cold and sharp, like a hunter in the dark night, which made people tremble with fear.

Aunt Hu crouched on the ground and trembled: "I don't dare, I deserve to die..."

Yuan Tong'er was confused. Where was this acting?

Before he could think about it, Qu Baiyu picked him up. But her knees were already numb and she couldn't stand at all. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

A warm and bitter fragrance suddenly hit her nose. She stepped lightly and was hugged by Qu Baiyu.

The faint fluorescence of the snow gave the person in front of him a faint sheen. When their eyes met, a light fell into his eyes, and the stars shone in pieces. Yuan Tong'er's heart dropped and she hurriedly looked away.

"Since we need to keep a vigil, then you can keep watch here. It's your destiny to be able to keep a victorious general!"

Qu Baiyu said indifferently and left without looking back.

Yuan Tong'er was brought to the bedroom again and placed on the bed.

He couldn't help but touch her cool hand, frowned, and said angrily: "She asked you to keep vigil at her grave, and you will do so?"

Although she was in poor health in his memory, she was by no means a porcelain doll at the mercy of others.

Yuan Tong'er, on the other hand, couldn't understand what Qu Baiyu did at all. She looked at him with an even weirder look and calmly took her hand out of his.

"Didn't you... let me?"

Her voice was very soft, because she was afraid of making him angry, but she really couldn't bear it.

"You thought it was me?"

Qu Baiyu was shocked. He opened his mouth and wanted to continue asking, then he heard Cui Xiaoyi's voice coming from outside the door.

"Sir, another person died in Yizhuang, a suburb of Beijing."

"Another death?"

Before Qu Baiyu could ask, Yuan Tong'er became excited first.

"Does that clear my suspicion? Can I leave?!"

Lord Qingtian, she can finally stand up straight and be a human being!

Qu Baiyu looked gloomy when he heard this, "Do you really want to leave?"

Yuan Tong'er was noncommittal and almost trembled at the twenty-fourth prayer. She couldn't offend this moody man at this juncture.

Then he smiled and said: "Well...it doesn't matter sooner or later, as long as the suspicion is cleared...I firmly believe that the prince will let me go!"

Qu Baiyu's face was like a frost-beaten eggplant. He was silent for a moment, then he chuckled and reached out to hit her on the head.

"Clear the suspicion? That's not necessarily the case. Who knows if you have any accomplices?"

In Yizhuang, on the outskirts of Beijing, the people from the Yamen had already arrived. Seeing Qu Baiyu coming, they all made way for him.

Yuan Tong'er was forced to follow Qu Baiyu, but naturally he could do so without any hindrance.

An official with a gray beard stepped forward and saluted Qu Baiyu. Qu Baiyu kept walking, stretched out his hand to excuse him, and asked: "Master Liu, has your work been inspected?"

The one with the gray beard is Jing Zhaoyin Liu Luobai, who came to the capital to take charge of the security yamen in the capital. Hearing Qu Baiyu's question, he sighed.

"The person who died this time was Yuan Ji, the coward in the yamen."

Qu Baiyu paused slightly, "Wu Zuo?"

Liu Luobai nodded, "The death situation is exactly the same as that of the Li family escort agency, and the house is also covered with paper people and white flags..."

"Did Zuo find out something and the murderer was killed and silenced?"

Yuan Tong'er guessed.

Liu Luobai: "This possibility cannot be ruled out..."

Only then did he notice Yuan Tong'er beside Qu Baiyu and asked, "Who is this..."

"Suspect."

Qu Baiyu answered without thinking.

Yuan Tong'er couldn't help rolling her eyes, this person is probably seriously ill!

The Yi Zhuang was dark and humid, and everyone who entered felt a chill that hit their bones for no apparent reason.

Yuan Tong'er shuddered and dared to follow Qu Baiyu closely.

The yamen servant held a torch to illuminate the room. In the center of the room, there was a body covered by a piece of white cloth.

The thin white cloth clearly outlined the figure of the corpse. Just one glance at it made Yuan Tong'er feel uncomfortable in her stomach.

Qu Baiyu looked back at her, and the warm gaze he had before had long since disappeared.

"Miss Yuan, please!"

Yuan Tong'er hesitated, "What?"

Qu Baiyu: "Autopsy. But don't forget, if your suspicion cannot be cleared, then you are the murderer!"

Yuan Tong'er shook her hand like a rattle, "I...can't."

Qu Baiyu didn't listen, so he pushed her over and ordered: "Open it."

Yuan Tong'er was caught off guard by his push and almost fell on the corpse.

A pale and bruising face appeared in front of Yuan Tong'er in an instant, just a little short of the tip of her nose being able to poke into the corpse's face.

Yuan Tong'er, who had never seen such a battle before, felt like her stomach was churning, as if she was about to burst out.

She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and ran out, retching outside the house.

Qu Baiyu followed her and felt a little guilty when he saw her like this. But when he thought of her being in a hurry to leave, he became heartbroken.

"Didn't you lie down all night with the more than 100 members of the Li family? How could..."

"vomit……"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Tong'er retched again.

When she walked through, she did see people lying on the ground, but she was still in a daze and didn't know anything when she was escorted out by the guards who rushed in.

Now she really couldn't bear to look at the pale and purple dead face. However, the abominable Qu Baiyu also reminded her, and she instantly had a picture.

She, Yuan Tong'er, lay with more than a hundred such corpses all night!

Qu Baiyu frowned and did not mention it again knowingly. He turned around and asked: "Who did the test before? Apart from these, are there any other discoveries?"

"It was tested by a villain."

A loud voice sounded, and a middle-aged man wearing government uniforms stood out from the darkness.

"The villain is a government servant of Jingzhao Mansion. His name is Zhang Qiao. He usually does some work of escorting corpses. When he has nothing to do, he watches Yuan Ji's autopsy, and he knows a little bit about it..."

Zhang Qiao lowered his head as he spoke, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Yuan Tong'er who was standing outside.

Qu Baiyu took in all this, his face turned cold, and he moved in front of Zhang Qiao.
