Nan Xing felt happy and walked up to her in a hurry.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Red God for a long time. Butler, can you send someone to the Duke's Mansion to bring Red God over?"
The housekeeper quickly agreed.
"My subordinates will send someone to take care of it immediately."
The second young lady has spoken, but she has to be more diligent than the prince in order to get it done.
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, the cute little fox Chishen was presented to Luo Jiuli.
Luo Jiuli held Chishen's legs and looked left and right.
"How did Chun Rong raise you? How did you manage to raise you to be so fat? You're as big as a ball."
"You are so fat, I don't know if the prince will dislike you when he sees you later."
"South Star."
She nuzzled at Nan Xing.
"Come here and sit on the chair."
Nan Xing walked over and stood aside very unnaturally and stiffly.
"I'll let you sit down."
"yes."
Nan Xing sat down, and Luo Jiuli threw Chi Shen into Nan Xing's arms.
"This little thing has a bad habit. It likes to sleep in people's arms. In the past, the prince was unhappy when I hugged it, and it was unhappy when I didn't hug it."
"The prince was so angry that he left it at the Duke's Mansion. Now it's fine. There's no need for the prince to be angry, and there's no need for this little guy to be angry either."
"From today onwards, Red God will be taken care of by you until it gets tired of being in your arms."
After Luo Jiuli finished speaking, he smiled and tapped the tip of Red God's nose.
"Listen carefully to Sister Nanxing!"
Akagami groaned and crawled into Nan Xing's arms, found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
Nanxing holds the Red God in her arms. It doesn't matter if she loses it, or if she doesn't.
Although his face remained expressionless, his heart was extremely grateful to his master.
She knew in her heart that her master wanted her to rest on purpose.
Luo Jiuli was sitting on the sofa, leaning on the table with his elbows. While eating melon seeds, he chatted with Nan Xing who was holding the little fox Chishen.
This is what Xiao Mingxuan saw when he returned to the house.
"Why did you bring it here?"
He took off his cloak himself and hung it on the hanger.
"I missed this little thing, so I brought him over."
As he spoke, he looked towards Nan Xing.
"Nan Xing, go back to your house with Akagami in your arms."
"yes."
Nan Xing stood up and glanced at his master.
Thinking that since the prince was here, the master no longer needed her to serve him, he turned around and left the house with Akagami in his arms.
Xiao Mingxuan walked to the brazier, flicked the charcoal in the basin twice, and turned to look at Luo Jiuli.
"You didn't go to send Shen Miaoqing back home?"
Luo Jiuli shook his head, put down the melon seeds in his hand, sighed, walked to him and sat down next to him.
"In what capacity? She and my eldest brother have not yet gotten married, and I went to the Shen Mansion. This status is so embarrassing, and what I say has no weight. It is better to send someone to protect her safety secretly."
Xiao Mingxuan heard this and nodded.
"It's really inappropriate for you to go."
"Besides, my people haven't found out what's going on in Shen's mansion now, so it's better to be cautious in everything."
"what happened?"
Luo Jiuli looked at him seriously.
"Is it really what I guessed? Someone from Sangnan sneaked into the capital, and Shen Miaoqing fell under the charm spell?"
"Um."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"It's very possible. I've sent people to conduct a secret investigation. I hope there will be news before the lights go down."
Luo Jiuli clenched his fingers, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xiao Mingxuan took her hand.
"Don't worry, the Duke's Mansion has also heard the news. The Duke has sent someone to Shen's Mansion to talk."
"Did my father send someone to Shen's mansion?"
"Well, although Editor Shen is not a good father to Shen Miaoqing, he still understands the importance of the prosperity of the Shen family and his future."
"Hmph! Such a profit-obsessed man dares to seize even his first wife's dowry. It's really despising."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded and said meaningfully:
"You also said that Editor Shen is a profit-driven person. He must be satisfied if he can establish a family relationship with the Duke's Mansion."
"Since he is satisfied, do you think he knew about what happened today, or did he not know about it?"
Luo Jiuli stared at him, carefully considering the meaning of his words.
"Can I understand this sentence to mean that if Editor Shen didn't know about it, he could still escape this incident."
"But if he knew about it, who could make him give up the family of Guogongfu and choose another family?"
Xiao Mingxuan smiled lightly.
"go on."
Luo Jiuli said:
"Presumably this other party has a higher status and more power than the Duke's Palace, and it's something he can't refuse."
"Combined with some things that happened before, that is Princess Wenya.
"Except for Mrs. Lu in the Shen Mansion, only Princess Wen Ya could hate Shen Miaoqing out of love and kill her."
"But it just doesn't make sense in some aspects. If Princess Wen Ya really wanted to deal with Shen Miaoqing, there are many ways to do it, so why would she choose such an extreme approach?"
"It's just that there is no evidence now, so any guesses are just our guesses."
This was also the reason why she didn't tell Shen Miaoqing.
Because of speculation, because there is no evidence, and because of Wen Ya's identity.
She thought that even Shen Miaoqing himself might have doubts about Princess Wen Ya.
But because she was a princess of a country, Shen Miaoqing felt timid due to her status.
Xiao Mingxuan listened to her analysis and nodded in agreement.
"It is precisely because of the speculation that we have to investigate."
Luo Jiuli's eyebrows were calm.
"The prince has also sent people to investigate Princess Wen Ya?"
"Well, it's just a check anyway, not her."
Luo Jiuli raised her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth with a faint arc. He was indeed her prince.
——
At the same time, Hu Mansion.
"Mom, my aunt sent someone to send a message. What does it mean? Does she think I am nosy?"
At that time, Hu Hanyu's brows and eyes had a strong anger that could not be overcome.
His tone was not as gentle and respectful as it once was.
"Hanyu."
Mrs. Hu quickly stopped her daughter from speaking.
"The imperial concubine has her own intentions. If you speak like this, be careful that walls have ears."
She grabbed her daughter.
"You have to know that our current residence is called Hu Mansion, and it will no longer be called Sima Mansion. Your grandfather and your father have passed away, and the only two people in the palace who can support us are the two in the palace."
"If we anger them, we will really have no choice but to retreat."
"But mother, I am also doing it for Wenya--"
"Don't talk about this again."
Mrs. Hu sternly stopped her.
"Whether you know the truth or not, this matter has nothing to do with Wen Ya and the Hu family."
Hu Hanyu stared fiercely at the lanterns that were gradually lighting up outside the window, his eyes like those of wild beasts in the fields and jungles, cold and dark.
