"Brother, although life is short, it is also full of sunshine. As long as you are alive, there will be no separation, just a brief separation." Lan Duoduo held back tears and smiled.
Du Zirui gently tugged on Lan Duoduo's sleeves and smiled lightly: "How about we send my eldest brother an extra mile."
Lan Duoduo felt a little sad and shook her head: "Forget it! I have to say goodbye after a long journey."
There is no such thing as a banquet that never ends, and today’s farewell will lead to a reunion.
Watching the horse's hooves flying away, Lan Duoduo watched Hong Huaze's back disappear and sat on the carriage feebly. She felt confused and annoyed. How great would it be if she could see her eldest brother every day? Fortunately, she could see her every day.
Arrive at Xiao Yi.
As for Du Zirui, she didn't have any reluctance to say goodbye, because she never thought that he would be gone for a long time. Like Prince Qingyi, who had been there for three months, he even said "reluctantly" with the same emotion.
Cynical teasing, or maybe he also had reluctance in his heart, but he expressed it in a different way, but Lan Duoduo never took it to heart.
The carriage entered Changrong Street and stopped at the entrance of Zuitian Tower.
"Little nymphomaniac, I haven't been to Zuitian Tower for a long time, why don't you go in and sit for a while." Du Zirui raised his eyebrows.
Lan Duoduo opened the curtain and looked out, and saw the old madam soliciting customers at the door of Zuitian Tower. Everything was as usual, nothing had changed. She had indeed not been here for more than half a month. Looking at the sky, the setting sun had already coated the white clouds on the sky.
Phnom Penh, she said: "No, it's getting late, I still have things to do."
Du Zirui nodded: "Yeah"
Lan Duoduo seemed to sigh and lowered the curtain.
It was already dark when we came back, and Wufeng was waiting at the door of the mansion.
When Lan Duoduo got off the carriage and saw Wu Feng, she felt confused.
Wu Feng came up to her and greeted Qian'er respectfully: "The princess is finally back, let Wu Feng wait easily."
Lan Duoduo said in a calm tone: "Did the prince ask you to wait for me?" No need to guess, besides Xiao Yi, who else was looking for her, but her sixth sense told her that nothing good happened.
As expected, Wufeng only condensed and then nodded.
"The prince is waiting for the princess in the study." Wufeng immediately made a gesture of invitation.
She has never been to Xiao Yi's study, but it is not far from Biyue Pavilion. She knows the approximate location. Walking on the path, there are some gravels next to it, which is extremely dark. Wu Feng does not forget to be careful when he walks next to Lan Duoduo.
reminded: "Princess, be careful."
"Just lead the way." Lan Duoduo ordered softly. The housekeeper told her that the study was also a forbidden area of the prince's palace and could not be entered without the prince's order. No wonder the road was so difficult to walk and her feet always slipped.
We arrived at Shuxiang Pavilion soon. Two lotus lanterns hung in front of the door, flickering brightly and dimly.
Wufeng led Lan Duoduo in, and as soon as he stepped into the door of the study, he saw Xiao Yi sitting on the master's chair, his face condensed into frost, while the housekeeper stood aside with his head lowered, and the worst thing was, Xiao Xi and others were also there.
Lan Duoduo stared at everything in front of her in stunned silence. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She pointed at Xiao Xi and the others standing aside and asked Xiao Yi: "My lord, what happened here? Why are there so many people here?"
Xiao Yi stood up and walked towards her. Damn it, it's not like Xiaoxi and the others did something wrong and wanted to operate on her! No, she doesn't know what happened yet!
Lan Duoduo's eyes flashed slightly, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and winked at Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi shook her head sadly, but to her surprise, Xiao Yi took her hand and frowned: "Why didn't you tell me when something like this happened?"
Lan Duoduo was suddenly stunned. She looked at the housekeeper and roughly understood what was going on. In the palace, she had to stand firm first, and she would inevitably have to be hurt.
She raised her eyebrows indifferently, raised her head, and looked at Xiao Yi with a faint smile: "Nothing valuable was lost, and Xiaonan and the others were fine. They just fainted, so they didn't tell the prince."
"By the way, Uncle Hu, how about your investigation?" Since Xiao Yi knows, he will interrogate him openly.
"Back to the princess, Xiaozhu is the only maid with a scar on her palm." Huber looked helpless, as if he was a little sad.
As she expected, Lan Duoduo hesitated for a moment, walked up to Xiaozhu, pointed at her and asked: "It's you again, where did you go before sunset yesterday?"
Lan Duoduo spoke softly, and the smile on her lips was as bright as a poppy flower, but it gave people a poisonous charm.
"Why don't you say anything when I ask you a question!" Lan Duoduo roared angrily, her anger was not loud, but it was extremely intimidating.
Xiaozhu was suddenly shaken, his face changed, and he stood there, but his body couldn't stop shaking.
Since the murderer was trying to be mysterious, she would cooperate to the end, but she just felt sorry for this girl.
"Bold slave, who gave you the courage to break into the princess's study and do evil, and even knocked the princess unconscious?" Xiao Yi slammed the table, his whole face was frighteningly cold.
"Come here, drag Xiaozhu down and punish him with a cane." Xiao Yi gave the order, and the slaves outside the door rushed in immediately.
"Hold on, Your Majesty, since this girl has offended me, let me deal with it myself!" Since she can't find out the murderer with her own hands, she will kill her as a warning to others and let the slaves know that she, Lan Duoduo, is not
So offending.
Xiao Yi frowned, but still followed her wishes.
At this time, Xiaozhu had fallen limply to the ground, trembling all over. It was not her, not her.
"Xiao Xi, take it down and close it." After whispering to Xiao Xi, Lan Duoduo looked at the door intently, with another consideration in mind.
After Xiao Xi and his party left, Wu Chen also retreated out of the cave, leaving only Lan Duoduo and Xiao Yi in the study.
Lan Duoduo began to look at his study room. The carved sandalwood desk was placed in the middle. There was a magnolia picture painted on the wall behind the desk. Large bookcases were placed diagonally on both sides. The whole room was filled with the atmosphere of a scholarly family.
Lan Duoduo walked to the desk, picked up a book placed next to the jade pen holder, read: "Strategy of War." Then she flipped through a few pages at will.
