Su Lingyue looked around and found that Xiao Yu was not in the bedroom or in the living room, so he must be in the study.

"Prince, are you in there?" Su Lingyue knocked on the door.

Xiao Yu usually discusses things with Yan Qing and the others in the study.

There are some things Xiao Yu doesn't want Su Lingyue to know. Su Lingyue understands this, so she knocks on the door every time she comes.

There was no response from inside. Just when Su Lingyue was about to turn around and go back, Xiao Yu responded in a low voice from inside.

"exist."

"May I come in?"

"can."

After getting Xiao Yu's consent, Su Lingyue pushed open the door and saw Xiao Yu standing next to the cabinet, as if he had just put something away.

Although Su Lingyue was very curious, she didn't intend to ask too much about things Xiao Yu didn't want her to know.

"The prince is in the study. I've been looking for you for a while." Su Lingyue said half coquettishly and half complainingly.

Xiao Yu closed the cabinet door and came forward. A faint smile appeared on Ruyu's face. "Is there anything Yue'er wants to talk to me about?"

"Well, there is something I want to ask your Majesty."

Su Lingyue asked: "The prince said before that he wanted to investigate Li Qingfeng, did he find out?"

Xiao Yu pulled Su Lingyue to sit aside and said, "I was just about to tell Yue'er about this matter. Yan Qing went to check and found that there is something wrong with Li Qingfeng."

"Problem?" Su Lingyue was puzzled. "What problem?"

Xiao Yu said: "His identity may not be simple. The details have not been found out yet. We need to wait until Lord Jiang is rescued to find out."

Su Lingyue felt nervous when she thought that her uncle was still in jail. Would another crisis come?

"Why? What does it have to do with uncle?"

Before finding out the truth, Xiao Yu didn't want Su Lingyue to worry too much, so he simply replied, "The house he lives in now cannot be found in the Ministry of Households. His origins may only be known by Lord Jiang."

Su Lingyue lowered her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. "Even the Ministry of Revenue has no records of him, so his identity must be extraordinary. There must be ministers in the court who helped him interfere in the Ministry of Revenue, and his position must be no lower than that of my uncle."

Xiao Yu agreed: "Indeed."

Su Lingyue asked: "Is it my father?"

Xiao Yu frowned. He had thought about this question before. "It's hard to say, but it's very likely."

That person has connections with people in the court. Could it be that he is trying to get close to A-Qing on purpose?

Ah Qing was working for Xiao Yu, so the man's purpose was self-evident; he was targeting Xiao Yu.

Su Lingyue only thought that his father would assassinate and frame them, but he didn't expect that he would also send spies to infiltrate Xiao Yu.

The most unforgivable thing is that he deceived A-Qing and took advantage of her feelings.

I wonder how sad Ah-Qing would be if she knew.

Su Lingyue frowned and looked at Xiao Yu, and asked: "Should we tell Ah Qing about this? I think... Ah Qing cares about him a lot, and their relationship seems to go beyond that of ordinary friends."

"I'll talk to A-Qing."

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Yue'er, Aqing is not a fragile person."

But the heart is the softest part of a woman.

She clearly remembered the pain and hatred in her heart when she found out that Xiao Changshi had used her and killed her uncle's family before she died in her previous life.

Looking at her clenched hands and the hatred in her clear eyes, Xiao Yu knew that she was probably thinking about that dream again.

"Yue'er."

Xiao Yu's gentle voice awakened Su Lingyue who was trapped in painful memories.

Su Lingyue suppressed the emotion in her eyes and said to Xiao Yu in a deep voice: "Well, the sooner we talk about this, the better. We must let Aqing see his true face!"

This sentence not only refers to Li Jing, but also to herself.

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue's hand distressedly and comforted her: "Don't worry, Yue'er, I won't let anything happen to Aqing!"

Su Lingyue blinked her clear eyes, looked at Xiao Yu, and held his hand tightly.

Li Jing was wiping the sword that was shining with cold light with a cloth in the room when there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Aqing, are you there?" Caidie asked.

Li Jing said: "Yes."

Caidie pushed open the door and saw a long sword flashing coldly under the candlelight, and there was also a cold light flashing in Li Jing's eyes.

Caidie felt that Li Jing was very powerful, but the scene of him wiping the sword under the candlelight made him look more like a killer in a storybook. So powerful!

Li Jing turned her head and saw a colorful butterfly with starry eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Jing asked.

Caidie retracted her starry eyes and said, "The prince is waiting for you in the study."

"Okay, got it." Li Jing put down the cloth, put the sword back into the scabbard neatly, and left the room.

Arriving at the door of the study, Li Jing knocked twice.

"Come in." Xiao Yu said.

Li Jing pushed the door open and saw Xiao Yu sitting at the tea table drinking tea.

"Sit down." Xiao Yu said, and poured a cup of hot ginger tea for Li Jing.

Li Jing didn't hesitate and sat down aside.

"What did you call me for?"

Xiao Yu knew that Li Jing had a straightforward personality, so he didn't beat around the bush. "Li Qingfeng is a different person. You have to be careful when you meet him."

That day, Li Qingfeng appeared directly at the gate of the palace. Su Lingyue was also present. Li Jing was not surprised at all that Xiao Yu knew him.

However, Li Jing felt very uncomfortable with what Xiao Yu said.

"Is there something wrong with him?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "After your brother got into trouble, the courtyard should have been confiscated by the Ministry of Revenue. Whether it was a sale or a reward, the Ministry of Revenue should have records, but Yan Qing didn't find any."

Li Jing's heart tightened, "You mean..."

She couldn't say the rest.

It seems that as long as you don't say it out loud, there is still room for things to turn around.

Li Qingfeng bought her brother's yard and said that her brother often made chicken legs for her, and even the taste was the same. How could it be...

Xiao Yu held the teacup and glanced at Li Jing out of the corner of his eye.

Although her face was expressionless as usual, her hands clenched tightly on her knees still revealed her inner emotions.

Xiao Yu took a sip of ginger tea and put down the teacup.

Sometimes the truth is the hardest to accept, but it can also make people sober quickly.

Xiao Yu added directly to what Li Jing hadn't said, "He may have connections with people in the court. Contacting him may put you in danger."

The truth is often cruel. Even if you don't want to believe it, it is the fact.

Li Jing sat quietly, looking straight ahead, without saying a word.

Xiao Yu didn't say anything either, just sat with her quietly.

After a long while, Li Jing finally spoke, "I understand. I won't see him anymore. After I find out everything, I will kill him myself!"

Her voice was calm, without a trace of emotion, as if she was talking to an insignificant stranger.

But listening to it, it feels like the calm before the storm.

It was as if the huge waves were suppressed under the calm lake water.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yu softened his tone and said, "Everything is just speculation. I told you in advance today so that you can be prepared and not fall into danger. Maybe things will turn around. Everything will be determined when the Minister of Revenue comes out."

Li Jing responded solemnly, "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back."

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded lightly and watched him leave.
