Chu Yu burned a little soothing incense in the candle.

When he left the house, he called Ai Cao and asked him to guard the door.

He gathered a few shadows and went directly to Mo Ruchu's residence outside the palace.

Where Mo Ru first lived, there were not many people.

The shadows brought by Chu Yu scattered and hid.

In the darkness where he couldn't even see his fingers, Chu Yu quietly climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard gate.

There were no lights on in the house, the door was locked, and no one was at home!

He didn't tell Mo Ruchu to do anything today.

It's so late, why haven't you come back yet?

What did you do again?

While thinking, Chu Yu turned over and climbed onto the roof again.

Lying in ambush with complicated emotions.

There are no stars or moon in the sky, and the night wind blows like a knife across my face.

From the first night until late at night, I finally saw a faint light coming from the distance. The faint light gradually turned half of the sky red, and there was thick smoke billowing.

On fire?

It is the direction of the palace.

When the fire burned brightest, it quickly faded away, and finally returned to silence and darkness.

When it was almost five o'clock, it started to drizzle under the gloomy sky.

Chu Yu could not wait for Mo Ruchu despite the cold wind blowing all night long.

Then he took the shadow with him and returned to the palace.

When he came back, Ai Cao was still sitting at the door, dozing off. When he saw Chu Yu, he quickly stood up.

"Where's Madam?" Chu Yu changed out of the black cloak stained with fine raindrops and threw it to mugwort.

"I didn't hear any noise, I'm probably still asleep." Ai Cao said sleepily.

Chu Yu tiptoed open the door, walked into the house, opened the curtain, and saw a pair of red eyes staring at him.

Chu Yu touched his nose and smiled humbly, "Madam, you're awake."

He had obviously calculated the dose, why did he wake up so early?

Ruan Ningxiang was also tied to the bed by Wu Hua Da, and her wrists were strangled with dark purple bruises.

How tough Chu Yu's attitude was when he left, now he is so humble.

He climbed onto the bed, untied the rope, and called carefully, "Madam, are you angry?"

Ruan Ningxiang turned her back, covered herself in the quilt, and ignored him.

"Axiang?"

"lady?"

"Honey, is it okay if I was wrong?" Chu Yu got into the quilt.

He was kicked out again by Ruan Ningxiang.

Chu Yu groaned and fell down on the bed, curling up and twitching, "Madam, you're hurting me by kicking me."

Ruan Ningxiang didn't move at all under the quilt.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Chu Yu tugged on the corner of the quilt again, "How about you tie me to the bed at night and do whatever you want with me. No matter how you bully me, I will never fight back."

Ruan Ningxiang sniffed complainingly, rolled over him, and beat his chest, "You bastard, you can't say anything properly!"

She was really angry when she saw Chu Yu leaving last night.

The feeling of worry, fear, and helplessness was infinitely stretched. He didn't know what Chu Yu was doing when he suddenly ran out. The person behind the scenes was cunning, and she was afraid that something would happen to Chu Yu.

He was also afraid that his wrong guess would lead to Chu Yu hurting his good brother.

She struggled and let herself close her eyelids little by little in the incense.

I woke up again to the cool breeze that just blew in.

Tears of grievance fell onto Chu Yu's chest, spreading a dampness on his dark clothes.

"What did you do last night?" Ruan Ningxiang took the belt that tied her up and asked in a questioning manner!

Chu Yu obediently raised his hands above his head as if to cooperate, "I originally wanted to put Mo Ruchu in solitary confinement, but it turned out that Mo Ruchu was not at home, so I... missed the point."

Ruan Ningxiang stared at the person steadily for a while, as if checking the authenticity of his words, and then cautiously tested, "Didn't you see anyone?"

Chu Yu shook his head, "No."

Ruan Ningxiang got off him and said, "Ziyu, if you just lock up Mo Ruchu, what if it's not him? How will you brothers get along with each other in the future?"

"Since he is a good brother, he should understand me." Chu Yu sat up, took out the ointment, and helped Ruan Ningxiang apply the medicine.

"But……"

"Okay, all the doubts are over, and there is no shortage of distrust." Chu Yu said, "The big deal is, it's not him. I will take the blame again and let him scold me. In short, I will not let you put possible potential dangers

Take it with you."

Ruan Ningxiang frowned.

In fact, the essence of her taking Mo Ruchu with her to test him was the same as that of Chu Yu imprisoning him directly.

It's all about temptation and distrust.

Rather than this, it is better to...

"Tzuyu, why don't we sit down and have a frank talk with Mo Ruchu. If it wasn't him, I believe he would cooperate with us without hesitation. If it was..."

If so, he should find a way to fight back.

"Then I'll listen to Madam, but I have to put things aside first." Chu Yu put away the medicine bottle, "There was a scandal in the palace last night. I have to go to the palace. Madam, do you want to accompany me?"

"

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"I don't know. The palace door is closed and I can't get in. However, the direction of the fire is relatively far away. It doesn't look like the location of the harem. It should be where a servant lives. The fire went out not long after it started."

Not long after the palace gate opened, many people rushed over.

Chu Yu's carriage rushed to the gate of the palace, and Chu Yu jumped out of the car to inquire.

What was leaked last night was the Jinyiwei's residence in the Imperial Palace's Internal Affairs Hall where they temporarily rested while on duty.

Chu Yu asked urgently: "Is anyone injured?"

"It is said that one of them died." The imperial guard on duty at the door replied.

Chu Yu's heart beat hard, and a voice emerged in his heart, denying all this again.

He hugged Lucky and said tremblingly, "Who?"

"It seems to be the residence of Mr. Mo, the commander of the Jin Yiwei." The guard replied vaguely, "It is said that he accidentally knocked over the candlestick while drunk."

Drunk?

Mo Ruchu didn't leave the palace at all last night, what happened?

"Tzuyu." Ruan Ningxiang came over holding an umbrella, "Let's go over and take a look first."

Ignoring the light rain falling in the sky, Chu Yu and Ruan Ningxiang ran all the way to the place where the fire was.

At first glance, it was pitch black. The house that Chu Yu had just visited a few days ago had collapsed beams and was burned into a dilapidated frame, standing tremblingly in the rain.

The body was parked in the yard.

All the people coming in and out are busy servants.

The Governor of North Town and the newly promoted Governor of South Town were also there.

Seeing Chu Yu, he bowed.

The governor of Beizhen came over with a tray, looking sad, "This is Mr. Mo's waist badge. I found it on him."

A golden token on the tray that was also burned with black coal was Mo Ruchu's waist badge.

Chu Yu's eyes were red, staring at the corpse placed in the yard.
