Seeing this, Gu Xiyan started to eat with peace of mind. While she was eating, she kept an eye on Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu just looked at her coldly, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Thinking about the problem from his point of view, he must feel uncomfortable if the person next to him is hiding something important.
It wasn't until Gu Xiyan had eaten and drank that Zhou Mu went to look at the case.
The room was very quiet, only the sound of flipping through files could be heard from time to time.
Gu Xiyan thought about it for a long time, then broke the silence and said: "It's not that I don't trust the young master, but there are some things that are difficult to talk about. When the time comes in the future, if the young master still wants to know something, I will tell the young master."
But not at this time, but when he becomes the master of the Jin Dynasty and will not be restrained by others. By then, Zhou Xing will no longer be a threat to Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu's eyes fell on the file, but his heart was no longer calm.
"Go away, I don't want to see your face now."
As expected, Gu Xiyan walked farther away and stood with her back to Zhou Mu, feeling very good.
Zhou Mu laughed angrily when he saw her acting like a naughty guy. She knew how to pick on his words, and she was smart.
Seeing that there was no movement behind her, Gu Xiyan quietly looked back and met Zhou Mu's dark eyes. She immediately retracted her head, knowing that he was still angry.
Usually she would kick him out of bed when she was angry, but I wonder if he would also kick her out of bed when he was angry.
She stood for a while and then couldn't help but yawn.
I woke up too early today. I was exhausted physically and mentally in the morning. Now I feel relaxed and want to doze off.
She watched Zhou Mu pass by her and asked curiously: "Where are you going, Master?"
Zhou Mu ignored her and walked away quickly, quickly disappearing from her sight.
Gu Xiyan slumped her shoulders and thought to herself that she didn't know if it was too late to prepare special clothes to please him.
When Qiushi saw Gu Xiyan coming out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Has Your Highness not forgiven the girl yet?"
"No, the young master doesn't want to talk to me. He just said he wanted to leave the house and wouldn't let me follow him." Gu Xiyan was discouraged for a while, then suddenly cheered up: "It doesn't matter, I will think of ways to please the young master. It's always been easy for the young master.
If you are soft-hearted, you may forgive me soon."
Qiushi secretly thought that His Highness is easily soft-hearted? Only girls in their family would have such an illusion.
No one in the entire Zhou family knows that His Highness keeps strangers away from him and does not blink when he is cruel to others. He looks like a banished immortal, but he is cruel and ruthless.
Your Highness can only talk in front of these girls.
Gu Xiyan returned to Qishiyuan and planned to make a special dress like last time to please Zhou Mu. As for the fact that Mr. Yan is her, it is really not appropriate to say it now. When she and Zhou Mu go to Suzhou,
She also needs to use Mr. Yan's identity to give Zhou Mu some tips.
If she told Zhou Mu that she was Mr. Yan, how would she explain her unpredictable future?
Gu Xiyan sighed softly and decided to try the beauty trap tonight to deal with Zhou Mu. She was afraid that it wouldn't even work this time...
That night, Zhou Mu left the Zhou Mansion and went to Dali Temple.
Zhao Qingqi just returned to Dali Temple and saw Zhou Mu suddenly arriving, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him.
"Master Zhao, there is no need to be polite. I came here to know the results of the autopsy." Although Zhou Mu looked cold and distant, he never acted like a prince.
Zhao Qingqi did not dare to be negligent and answered truthfully: "At present, it is only tentatively diagnosed that the deceased did indeed die of fire and suffocation. As for more specific details, more specific details need to be carefully investigated, and the identity of the deceased is not yet known."
He just doesn't understand why the eldest prince is so concerned about this case. Does this case have anything to do with His Highness?
He waited for a while but saw no reaction from Zhou Mu. He looked over curiously and saw that Zhou Mu was still distracted.
"I wonder if your Highness has any other instructions?" Zhao Qingqi coughed lightly.
Zhou Mu then seemed to come to his senses and asked casually: "Did Mr. Zhao encounter any suspicious persons when he rushed to the scene of the crime?"
The main purpose of his trip was to know why Xu Yanqing saw Gu Xiyan, but Zhao Qingqi, who was with Xu Yanqing, did not. This was illogical.
Zhao Qingqi was stunned by Zhou Mu's question.
He carefully recalled what happened on the way to the southern suburbs, and suddenly remembered something.
Zhou Mu carefully observed Zhao Qingqi's expression and knew what Zhao Qingqi was thinking of.
"Xiaguan met a man half a mile away from the scene of the crime. The man was at the embankment at that time. At that time, Xiaguan was busy rushing to the scene and didn't think much about it. But Ayan...that is, Master Xu Yanqing
I went to find that person and wasted some time. I don’t know if that person is suspicious or not. Maybe His Highness can ask Mr. Xu." Zhao Qingqi told everything he knew.
After hearing this, Zhou Mu's mood was ups and downs.
He was wondering if the man Xu Yanqing saw might be Xi Yan.
His emotions were boiling, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said: "Master Zhao continues to be busy, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Your Highness, go slowly!" Zhao Qingqi still respectfully escorted Zhou Mu out of the Dali Temple official office.
After Zhou Mu left Dali Temple, he went to Hubu Yamen.
Xu Yanqing was sitting in front of the desk in a daze, until someone blocked the light in front of his eyes. He looked up and met Zhou Mu's dark eyes.
"Come out, I have something to ask you." Zhou Mu said this, turned around and walked away.
Xu Yanqing stood up silently, feeling that Zhou Mu must be here for Xi Yan.
Zhou Mu probably still doesn't know about Xi Yan's other identity. He was just thinking about why Xi Yan was interacting with Rong Song as Mr. Yan. Should he investigate Mr. Yan carefully?
The two men left the Hubu Yamen one after another, and then found a quiet and uninhabited place to talk.
"When you met Xi Yan, why didn't you tell her clearly about her dressing up as a man?" Zhou Mu's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they were on Xu Yanqing's face, wondering if he was feeling guilty.
"It's normal for a prince's concubine to dress up as a man when she goes out. I thought that His Highness would have guessed it even if I didn't tell her." Xu Yanqing suddenly wanted to laugh: "It seems that Your Highness doesn't know the prince's concubine that well."
The fact that Xi Yan is Mr. Yan must be the real reason why Zhou Mu came back to find him.
Zhou Mu was hit hard by Xu Yanqing's words. What he cared about was that he was obviously Xi Yan's husband, but Xu Yanqing, an outsider, seemed to know more than he, the person beside him, knew more.
No matter how unhappy he felt, he would not let Xu Yanqing have the opportunity to see his joke.
"Xi Yan puts me first in everything. Something like this happened today. She didn't want me to worry, so she didn't want to say anything. Her temperament has always been reserved, but today she even used a beauty trap to please me. Some of them
She doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't want to embarrass her, so I can only find the reason myself. Our relationship life has been very good since we got married, so Sir Xu doesn't have to worry about it." Zhou Mu looked at Xu Yanqing indifferently.
