Later, I slowly realized that my conversation with Xiaodie had been overheard by Xiu Chenchen. After hearing my words, he fell into deep thought, then turned and left.
Staying in the Prince's Mansion for several days in a row is as boring as it gets. However, Xiu Chenchen seems to have taken the wrong medicine these days. He is very kind to me and takes good care of me, making me eat more every day. The meal had to be chosen like a lottery. I even suspected that he was taking revenge for giving him chin beans that day.
"Xiaodie, what is His Royal Highness doing now?" I asked.
"Go back to your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is watching the memorial!"
"Oh, what is he looking at?"
"Back to your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is looking at the case of the headless corpse that happened in Dali Temple recently."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown, why is this prince so nosy?
During lunch that day, the prince came to my room again. When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel frightened. Could it be that he was going to attack me to punish me?
"Xiaodie, let the kitchen prepare food." The prince said.
"Yes, I obey." Xiaodie responded and walked out. After I saw Xiaodie leaving, I quickly asked: "Your Highness, what happened in Dali Temple recently?"
To be honest, he likes to be nosy, and I am also a person who likes to join in the fun.
After Xiu Chenchen listened to my question, a smile appeared on his face, "It's nothing, just some small cases."
"Small case? Stop talking about it and tell me!" I said.
Xiu Chenchen smiled and shook his head and asked, "You want to know so much?"
I nodded and he smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell you then."
Prince Chen said: "Recently, there was a case of a headless corpse in Dali Temple."
"Ah?" I was stunned.
"You don't have to be afraid. Although these cases are cruel and bloody, they have nothing to do with us. But with your courage, you will probably be scared to death." Xiu Chenchen looked at me and said.
"No, no, how could I be afraid of such a thing?" I said with a smile.
"Well, very good. Even if this case has nothing to do with you, you can't escape it, because you were the one who gave me Crotin that night." Xiu Chenchen said.
"No way?" I said.
"Hahaha, I lied to you. You have such a pig brain. It's useless to tell you. Let's go." After that, Xiu Chenchen stood up and walked towards the garden.
"Hey, Xiu Chenchen, are you really okay with what you say? Where am I stupid?" I asked unconvinced.
"Stupid, stupid, and..." Xiu Chenchen didn't say any more, but his eyes were obviously mocking me.
I slapped the table, stood up angrily, and said, "Your Highness, I tell you, you absolutely despise me!"
I said that and ran out the door. As soon as I got to the door, I saw Xiaodie. I grabbed her arm and asked, "Xiaodie, is His Royal Highness laughing at me? He said I was stupid and stupid! You said, Why am I stupid? Why am I stupid?"
Xiaodie saw me looking very excited and said with a smile: "Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince is right, you are indeed stupid."
"You...you...how dare you laugh at me? Let's see if I don't smash your mouth!" I said and was about to pounce on Xiaodie.
When Xiaodie saw this, she ran away, shouting for help while running. We had a great time chasing each other in the garden.
Out of curiosity about this case, I walked into the study to see what kind of case it was. As soon as I entered, I saw Xiu Chenchen reading the case file. When he saw me coming in, he raised his head and glanced at me. Then he continued to look down at the case file.
I stood there and hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it and walked towards the case file.
When I walked to the desk, I reached out and took the case file. I opened it and read it.
"Why are all the dead men?" I asked curiously.
"What happened to the dead man?" Xiu Chenchen asked.
I shook my head, handed the case file to Xiu Chenchen, and said, "Then tell me what's going on? Why are all the dead men?"
"A woman's chastity is very precious, so men would rather sacrifice their lives to protect women, so their heads were cut off." Xiu Chenchen said calmly.
"Then why don't men offend women?" I said.
"Why?" Xiu Chenchen snorted coldly, "Because..."
He suddenly stopped, then closed the case file, put it on the bookshelf, looked at me, and asked: "Do you want me to explain it to you, or do you want to find the answer yourself?"
"Ah?" I looked at him with confusion.
"I say you are stupid, but you are quite smart. Today I found out that these deceased people all have one thing in common, that is, they like to visit Rouge Tower." Xiu Chenchen said.
"So you suspected that the people in Rouge Tower were the murderers, and then you wanted to go there to look for evidence. And then, now that you are grounded, you want me to go with you, right?" I guessed.
Xiu Chenchen nodded slightly but said nothing.
"I won't go, don't expect me to go!" I refused flatly, "I won't sell my conscience just for the fun of solving a case!"
Xiu Chenchen smiled, with a hint of slyness in his smile, "Really? But you have to know that if you don't go, your dinner tonight will be ruined!"
When I heard it, I suddenly felt a little hungry.
"You know how to bully me, but you threaten me, you are shameless!" I said angrily.
"Haha, I am so shameless, how about that?" Xiu Chenchen looked at me provocatively.
"You...you are so..."
I was so angry that when I was about to say something to him, he suddenly stood up and hugged my waist. I exclaimed and fell into his arms.
I blushed suddenly and dared not look at him with my heart beating: "What do you want to do?" I asked in a low voice.
"I know you are tired of waiting in the house. This case is very important and I need your help." Xiu Chenchen looked at me and said seriously.
"Help? What help?" I asked.
"I need you to help me cover up and sneak into Rouge Tower to find this person for me." Xiu Chenchen said.
I instantly became interested, turned around and said to him: "It's not impossible, but I have a condition."
"What conditions?" Xiu Chenchen asked.
"Then you are not allowed to touch the woman inside. Also, before you let me stay alone in the empty room, then I want you to take me to the river to play!" I said.
"Okay, no problem." Xiu Chenchen agreed readily.
I smiled and said, "Thank you then!"
"You're welcome."
After dinner, I put on white men's clothes, and then sneakily followed Xiu Chenchen and slipped over the wall in the backyard.
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, we walked along the street for about half a cup of tea and arrived at Rouge Tower.
Looking at this magnificent brothel in front of me, my mood instantly became tense.
