After they had had enough wine and food, Princess Chaoyang summoned Xiaolan: "Lan'er, Mr. Qin will sleep in your room from now on. Remember to take good care of him."
Xiaolan answered simply "yes", staring at Qin Shaobai with her bright eyes, and there was an indescribable smile at the corner of her mouth.
Qin Shaobai was a little numb at the sight, and he also felt that Princess Chaoyang's instructions were a bit inappropriate, so he put down the tea fruit in his hand, leaned over and said:
"Princess, I accept Shaobai's kindness. However, how dare a stinky man like me offend Sister Xiaolan's sweetheart. Princess, Mr. Song, I'm used to shabby houses and shabby beds. You can just find a woodshed or something like that for me."
Just stay there for a few nights."
Princess Chaoyang, although her body did not move, the expression on her face was very ugly.
"Mr. Qin, it seems that you don't like Lan'er's service. Did Lan'er offend you just now? She dared to offend the guests of my princess's house, so she can only be sentenced to death. Come here.
…”
With a plop, Xiaolan had already knelt down, her originally smiling face covered with tears: "Princess, spare my life."
Qin Shaobai never expected this, and he was so frightened that he knelt down: "Princess, this is not Sister Xiaolan's fault. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Don't blame Sister Xiaolan."
"Lan'er, since Mr. Qin pleads for you, I will spare your life. Remember, from today on, Mr. Qin will be your savior." Princess Chaoyang turned her face, and her beautiful face was full again.
Smiling, "Master Qin, I will give Xiaolan to you."
Qin Shaobai wanted to say something more, but he felt Xiaolan's sad and desolate eyes, and his heart was filled with unbearability.
Forget it, let’s talk about this first. Princess Chaoyang might make an issue out of her own words again. If Xiaolan’s life is really hurt because of this, Qin Shaobai doesn’t know how long he will feel guilty.
.
"Xiaolan, why don't you help Mr. Qin to go to bed?" Song Ci finally spoke.
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but give Song Ci a rollicking look, saying that you hate evil as much as you hate evil. Aren't you still cowering in front of this beautiful princess?
Xiaolan helped Qin Shaobai into a boudoir. The room was huge, but the furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a bed, a coffee table beside the bed, and a guqin beside it.
In the middle is a glazed table with four glazed stools, which looks extremely elegant.
As soon as the two of them walked in, the little maid brought everything for washing.
"Okay, you all go and have a rest. Mr. Qin is under my care."
There was no trace of pity in Xiaolan's voice, it was completely the tone of a master ordering his servants.
Qin Shaobai was a little confused as to where exactly this Yuanlou was and why it had such strict rules and regulations.
"Master, let Xiaolan wait for you to go to bed."
Xiaolan said and came to untie Qin Shaobai's clothes.
Qin Shaobai smelled the faint fragrance of orchids, and his mind fell into a trance. Then he fell down on the bed with a gentle push from Xiaolan.
When Xiaolan's hand touched his neck, Qin Shaobai woke up as if he was electrocuted.
"Sister Xiaolan, let me do all this myself."
Xiaolan was startled for a moment, then sighed, with tears in her eyes.
"No, it's not that I dislike my sister. It's true that Shaobai has never had such a habit. Please don't blame me."
When Xiaolan saw Qin Shaobai's frightened face, she burst into laughter.
This smile made Qin Shaobai so distracted that he almost couldn't control his hands and wanted to hold the woman in front of him into his arms.
Mu Qingyi's beautiful and innocent face suddenly appeared in his mind. He cursed himself in his heart, and lay on the bed with his clothes on without thinking about it anymore.
"Since the young master can't accept Xiaolan yet, Xiaolan has no choice but to wait for the day when the young master falls in love with her."
Faintly, Qin Shaobai heard Xiaolan's soft voice, and then a soft quilt was covered on him, followed by the sound of soft footsteps.
Qin Shaobai opened his eyes, and there was no trace of Xiaolan in the room. He patted his beating heart and let out a long breath.
Princess Chaoyang kept staring at Qin Shaobai's retreating back, her eyes blurred.
"Princess, what do you think of Qin Shaobai?" Song Ci coughed lightly and asked.
"On that day, the Qintian Supervisor calculated that the emperor's brother was in trouble, and he should be in Nanyang County. I built this Yuan Tower here, trying to collect information from many sources and find someone who could help the emperor's brother solve the disaster, but I have gained nothing in the past few years.
" Princess Chaoyang waved her hand and pushed away all the maids and servants, and sighed softly.
"In the past few years, it has indeed been difficult for the princess. Staying alone in this remote place, the emperor will definitely know the princess' sincerity."
Princess Chaoyang smiled bitterly: "If the emperor knew my sincerity, he wouldn't be like this."
Song Ci was speechless for a moment and could only wait for Princess Chaoyang to continue.
"However, my mother-in-law told me that since I was born into the royal family, I must have a royal atmosphere. Whoever achieves great things will not have a few grievances."
When Song Ci saw Princess Chaoyang filling another glass of wine, she stood up and tried to stop her, but Princess Chaoyang held her hand down gently: "Master Song, don't worry, I've been drinking since I was a child, and I won't get into trouble after drinking."
After a glass of wine was in her stomach, Princess Chaoyang's face turned crimson.
She lightly fanned her hands a few times, but still felt the heat, so she stood up and took off the long gown she was wearing, leaving only a light red coat, which showed off her exquisite figure.
Song Ci's face instantly turned red, and she couldn't say anything to remonstrate, so she had to lower her head and stir the pot of vegetables in front of her with her chopsticks.
Princess Chaoyang smiled slightly, patted her body with a brocade handkerchief a few times, and put on the coat again.
"I just feel sweaty on my body. Mr. Song, you can raise your head."
Song Ci didn't dare to raise his head, but he smelled a refreshing fragrance, and at the same time, his face was gently lifted.
Wherever he looked, he saw Princess Chaoyang's smiling face as bright as the morning sun.
There was a roar in front of Song Ci's ears, and he could only hear his own heart beating feverishly.
"Master Song." Princess Chaoyang has returned to her seat, "Master Song's drinking capacity is really too small. After just a few glasses of wine, your face is so red."
After saying that, Princess Chaoyang laughed.
Song Ci felt extremely embarrassed, but she could only go down the slope.
"What the princess said is absolutely true. Song Ci and Qin Shaobai had already drank several glasses of wine to relieve filth in Yizhuang, and now they are indeed a little drunk."
"Yizhuang?" Princess Chaoyang's face turned stern, "What can you find on the body of the drunken Arhat?"
Song Ci shook his head: "I can only tell that that knife was indeed fast and accurate. It should have been done by a master."
"Hong'er also said that she only saw a black shadow at that time. When she chased him, the drunken Arhat had already fallen to the ground. She was afraid that the drunken Arhat would die in Yuanlou and bring trouble to Yuanlou, so she randomly found a scapegoat. Who
I knew that the person who was arguing with the Drunk Arhat was actually Qin Shaobai."
"Miss Xiao Hong is going to track down the murderer. Do you have any clues?"
Princess Chaoyang shook her head: "Although Xiaohong said there was a strange smell at the time, it is not easy to find the murderer just based on this smell."
The two were silent for a while.
"Master Song has been in contact with Qin Shaobai in the past few days. Do you think he is the person Qin Tianjian refers to?"
Song Ci remained silent for a long time before saying: "I only know that Qin Shaobai has a detective mind and is very good at sophistry, but I still haven't seen in him the royal domineering princess you mentioned.
Zhang Xuti, who has beautiful hands, said that he was the princess's long-lost brother, and Song felt that he needed to spend more time to find out."
