In the main hall of the palace, three men were sitting and drinking tea.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Third Brother, Lord Sima, please have some tea. I'll go and make some arrangements first, so that I won't scare you." Mo Li wanted to hold a few people back, and then go to the backyard to inform Qu Xinzhu to get ready.

Qu Xinzhu's incredible repair ability must not be known to outsiders, otherwise not only her but also he would be implicated.

Mo Yihe stretched out his hand to stop him, "No need to do that, we have seen it with our own eyes before, and we are already prepared."

Having said that, he felt nauseous when he thought of that scene.

Mo Qianluan's expression moved slightly, obviously he was thinking of something?

"But this is the first time we meet, Lord Sima, so I'd better go and give him the orders." Mo Li forced a smile.

Sima Zheng had a blank expression on his face, and acted in a businesslike manner. "Thank you, Prince Li, for your kindness. However, I have been investigating cases for many years, and have seen many tragic cases. I am used to them, so there is no need to avoid them."

The three of them looked at him. Mo Li could only grit his teeth and lead them to the backyard.

The corridors, eaves, and archways were all covered with bright red wedding decorations and tied with red silk.

All these seemed to be silently mocking his stupidity. Even though Mo Li knew Qu Xinzhu's other uses, he still felt like a thorn in his heart.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of a courtyard.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. Let me go in and give some instructions." After Mo Li said this, he strode inside without waiting for their reply.

"Li, you're here." Qu Xinzhu had already changed her clothes and was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, drawing her eyebrows and putting on makeup, so that she could be in the best condition to conquer the male protagonist Sima Zheng.

Seeing this scene, Mo Li couldn't help but curse her inwardly as an idiot. Then, he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the bed, "Lie down quickly!" he ordered in a commanding tone.

Qu Xinzhu thought he was going to be affectionate with her, so she shyly flirted with him, "Li, I heard that there are guests coming, so it's probably not a good idea to do that at this time."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This king..." He shouted angrily, but was worried that the people outside would hear him, so he lowered his voice and patiently explained the reason.

Qu Xinzhu finally reacted and said with a slightly disappointed tone: "I know, I will cover it up well and will definitely not reveal any flaws."

She covered herself with the quilt, and except for her head, her entire body was wrapped in it.

"My two royal brothers are not easy people to deal with, not to mention Sima Zheng, who has solved countless cases and is as careful as dust. If the three of them find anything unusual today, not only you, but also I will be in trouble. You must be extremely careful and never make any mistakes." Mo Li was worried about the idiot in front of him, so he gave him many warnings.

Qu Xinzhu nodded in response, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Sixth brother, can we go in?"

Hearing Mo Hehe's urging voice from outside, Mo Li frowned and had no choice but to go out to greet him.

The three of them stepped into the new house and looked around.

Sima Zheng, in particular, scanned the surroundings carefully with his sharp eyes, not missing any suspicious points.

The woman on the bed was wrapped in the quilt, her beautiful face adorned with a pair of pitiful eyes.

"Zhu'er greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince." Her eyes fell on the noble man for a moment, and she was frightened by his sinister look. She quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the cold-faced man who was a step behind her.

"This must be Lord Sima, Zhu'er is here to greet you." Qu Xinzhu looked at her new male protagonist carefully. Seeing his tall and straight figure, his cold face like iron, and the masculine aura emanating from his whole body, she couldn't help but feel moved and looked at him even more undisguisedly.

Sima Zheng hurriedly bowed, "This humble official greets the Concubine. His Majesty has ordered this humble official to investigate the case and track down the real culprit. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter, Lord Sima has official duties to attend to, and he is doing it to help me catch the murderer. I am grateful enough, so how can I blame you?" The more Qu Xinzhu looked at this tough guy, the more satisfied he became, and he unconsciously revealed a silly look.

Seeing this, Sima Zheng asked about the circumstances of the incident.

Qu Xinzhu did not hide anything and told the story of the previous group of men in black.

"Zhu'er, you're not feeling well. You should rest soon." Mo Li was worried that the longer they stayed, the more they would notice something unusual, so he hurriedly spoke up to remind them.

At the same time, he winked at Qu Xinzhu.

Qu Xinzhu's mind was entirely on the man in front of her, so she had no time to care about anything else.

Mo Li was standing nearby, furious.

After a brief questioning, Sima Zheng was quite suspicious and wanted to go forward and lift the quilt to check the injury, but he knew it was too abrupt. After all, this woman was the wife of King Li, and it was not in accordance with the rules to do so.

"I wonder how the Concubine is feeling now?"

Although the woman's face was a little pale, she did not look in pain. She did not look like someone who had just had her flesh and bones cut off. In addition, everything was just a rumor and he did not see it with his own eyes, so Sima Zheng did not believe it.

Qu Xinzhu was about to reply, but Mo Li said hurriedly: "I was lucky enough to get a pill of Ma Fei Dan, which can relieve pain. In a hurry, I fed this pill to my wife."

"Yes, that's right, I took King Li's medicine, so I don't feel the pain." Qu Xinzhu realized it later and reacted.

Mo Qianluan and Mo Hehe witnessed Qu Xinzhu's miserable condition with their own eyes and had no doubt about it.

But Sima Zheng was full of doubts, and he cast a questioning look at the woman on the bed, "I have already ordered someone to find the genius doctor Wu Chen. I believe he will be here soon to treat the concubine."

"Then...thank you very much, Lord Sima." Mo Li's face darkened for a moment, then he was full of gratitude again.

When Qu Xinzhu heard the name of the miraculous doctor Liao Wuchen, she hurriedly asked in her mind, "Little one, is this Liao Wuchen one of my male protagonists?"

[That's right.] Xiaoyaoer had just untied the old host and bound to a new host, which consumed a lot of energy. Coupled with the power of the Heavenly Dao, he was inevitably injured. He was preparing to recuperate at this time. After hearing the question, he replied weakly.

Hearing this, Qu Xinzhu was very excited, "All of a sudden, there are two more male protagonists. I am really the heroine destined by heaven."

"Now that I have seen the Concubine, I will take my leave." Sima Zheng looked at the woman's happy face and felt that there was something fishy going on.

Mo Qianluan and Mo Hehe looked at each other and said goodbye.

Qu Xinzhu opened her mouth, wanting to ask him to stay, but when she saw Mo Li's relieved look, she immediately closed her mouth again.

Mo Li sent the three people out the door.
