Chu Qingwan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it for the time being, thinking about it and asked someone to find out more.
Several people returned to the palace after dinner. Mo Jingyu had not returned home yet. Chu Qingwan was about to tell Yanran to tell Wei Zhan and ask him to find out the reason for Chu Huaian's promotion, so Wei Zhan came first.
His injury has not healed, but he has been able to get out of bed for many days. This time he came to tell Chu Qingwan that the "assassin" that night had been caught.
Chu Qingwan asked: "Can anyone tell me who ordered it?"
Wei Zhan replied: "No, the person who came was a dead soldier. When he was caught by his subordinates, he bit the poison sac hidden in his teeth and committed suicide."
Chu Qingwan frowned: "So, the house is still not safe."
Wei Zhan didn't know how to answer.
If he says it is safe, the young lady will definitely move back immediately, which will not help the young master and the young lady to bring her and Prince Qi together. If he says it is not safe, then he will do things poorly and will be punished.
Wei Zhan secretly glanced at Tuantuan from the corner of his eye, but heard him say: "Mother, with brother Wei Zhan's ability, if there are any assassins captured alive, then the rest must have been dealt with."
Wei Zhan's eyes flashed with surprise.
Does the eldest young master mean to take the initiative to return home?
Wei Zhan immediately continued: "The eldest young master is right. His subordinates have killed all his accomplices and strengthened the defense of the house. Miss, you can rest assured."
Chu Qingwan nodded: "In that case, let's go back."
Before she finished speaking, she got up and went to pack her things.
When the servants of the palace heard that they were going back to their own home, they were quite reluctant to leave, and repeatedly told the three little ones to come and play often.
Tao Ranju was only across the street from the palace, so the three little ones readily agreed.
Not long after they left, Mo Jingyu returned to the house. He didn't hear the voices of the little guys when he entered the door, and asked: "They haven't come back yet?"
A servant replied: "Go back to your lord, Divine Doctor Chu and the ladies have returned."
Mo Jingyu asked: "Go back to where?"
The servant said: "Tao Ranju."
Mo Jingyu was startled.
All in all, Chu Qingwan and the three little ones had lived in the palace for more than half a month.
During this period, whenever he came back from an outing, the three milk dumplings would jump up to him and talk to him.
Even if he didn't have time to greet him at the entrance of Haitang Courtyard, he felt happy when he came in and saw them having fun in the courtyard. It seemed that their presence made the cold palace come to life.
Sometimes, Chu Qingwan would lean on the lounge chair in the pavilion, watch the three of them chase and play, and laugh carefree with them.
Mo Jingyu watched from a distance under the eaves, thinking more than once: It would be good to keep going like this.
People often say that it takes at least three months to form a habit, but Mo Jingyu was surprised to find that in just half a month, he had become accustomed to seeing them when he returned home.
Facing this empty courtyard at this moment, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart for no reason. In addition, what he heard in the palace made his heart even more irritable.
Lin Yu had been with him for many years and figured out a little bit of his thoughts, so he tried to ask: "Your Majesty, why don't you go down and bring Divine Doctor Chu and the others back?"
Mo Jingyu collected his thoughts: "No need."
They came to stay with Tao Ranju because he was in danger. It was only temporary, but he was overthinking it.
Lin Yu said no more.
He could feel that his prince was unhappy, and he was worried that he would suddenly go crazy. After all, he had just met Hou Kanghou the day before yesterday. According to past experience, it would be at least six or seven days of water and fire.
Today passed peacefully because of the presence of Divine Doctor Chu and the three little ones. Now that they are gone, I wonder if his prince can maintain normalcy.
As soon as the idea came to an end, Mo Jingyu said, "Has the Criminal Department caught the flower-picking thief a few days ago?"
Lin Yu thought: Sure enough, it's here.
He lowered his eyes and replied: "Return to the prince, not yet."
Mo Jingyu's eyebrows narrowed: "How many days has it been? Is there no one left in the Criminal Department?"
Lin Yu didn't dare to answer.
Mo Jingyu said coldly: "Ask our people to help. If you catch the person, bring him to the palace first. At the same time, send the Minister of Punishment. I would like to ask how he handles the case!"
Lin Yu silently took pity on the Minister of Punishment and the flower picker, and went to work non-stop.
