The Crown Princess came alone outside the study, gently knocked on the door frame with her green-white fingers, and called softly: "Your Highness..."
In the study, Prince Liu Lang is carefully reviewing the memorial. Recently, his father's physical condition has been deteriorating. As the prince, his burden has become heavier and heavier.
But seeing the Crown Princess coming, Liu Lang put down what he was doing, nodded and said, "It's Li'er, come in quickly."
The Crown Princess stepped into the study, bowed Yingyingfu, and then said to the two maids waiting in the study: "You go down first."
The two maids left quickly, and the study door was gently closed.
Liu Lang then asked: "Li'er, come here so late, is there any news from your elder brother?"
The princess's name is Zhao Li. The word "Li" means "Li", which is the same as her elder brother.
When no one was around in private, Liu Lang would call her by her nickname. The two became husband and wife when they were teenagers, and Liu Lang still calls her that way.
The Crown Princess smiled and said happily: "Yes, Your Highness, the eldest brother sent someone back to say that the two murderers who framed him were arrested yesterday and the case was solved!"
"Oh?" Liu Lang was slightly surprised. He calculated the time secretly and said in surprise: "The murderer was caught so quickly? It only took a day!"
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Your Highness, to be precise, it was not used all day! Did you know? Bai Qiu and Chai Yan arrived at Yangxin Temple in the evening of that day, and the murderer was caught the next morning.
After staying, excluding the time to sleep and rest, it actually only took two hours!"
"Two hours? It's so fast!" Liu Lang found it hard to believe it was such a speed.
"It's absolutely true, Your Highness!" the Crown Princess said affirmatively.
Liu Lang had some free time and urged: "Li'er, please tell me the story of the case..."
"Yes, Your Highness..."
Then, the Crown Princess recounted the whole story of the rape and murder in Yangxin Temple. When it was mentioned that one of the murderers was Yin and Yang, Liu Lang was so shocked that he could not even close his mouth.
"Li'er, is there really such a person in the world?" It's not that Liu Lang didn't believe it, it's just that he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to believe it easily.
The Crown Princess said: "It's true, Your Highness. My eldest brother's man told me that he saw it with his own eyes, and there is absolutely no lie. After hearing this, I was stunned and couldn't calm down for a long time."
....."
Liu Lang's curiosity was instantly aroused, and he thought that after Zhao Cong came back, he would find a time to ask him personally what the person looked like underneath.
After telling the story of the case, the Crown Princess said: "Your Highness, the person Bai Qiu recommended this time is indeed extraordinary. How should I thank him?"
Liu Lang said: "It depends on what he wants. When he comes back, let your elder brother ask him carefully. If you don't care about this, don't come forward."
"I understand." The Crown Princess agreed obediently, and then said: "Then I will retire. Your Highness, please rest early and don't exhaust yourself."
"I know." Liu Lang responded with a smile and watched his beloved concubine leave the study.
After the Crown Princess left, Liu Lang picked up the memorial and continued to read it. However, after only reading for a short while, Liu Lang put down the memorial again and whispered to himself: "I didn't expect that Chai Yan was really capable.
......."
----------------
The next afternoon around Shen Shi, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu arrived outside the capital gate on horseback.
Originally, the two set out from Yuping Mountain the next morning after the case was solved, but because Chai Yan's riding speed was too slow, it took an extra day.
On the way back to the city, Hang Baiqiu couldn't let Chai Yan ride with him again. Anyway, he was not in a hurry now. Chai Yan rode as slowly as he could, as he was just practicing his riding skills along the way.
As for Zhao Cong and Zhao Xuan, they were still staying in Yangxin Temple when Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu set off. According to Hang Baiqiu, Zhao Cong sent someone to report the case to the local Yamen, so they still had to wait for the government to come.
Handle matters and leave only after taking over the two prisoners.
Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu led their horses into the city. They did not go back to Wudesi directly, but went to Hang Baiqiu's house first.
These two thousand-mile horses were only temporarily loaned to them by the Crown Princess, and they would naturally have to be returned when they came back, so they could only store the horses in the Hang Mansion and return them to the Crown Princess at another time.
Chai Yan wanted to go back to Wudesi, but he had to pass by Hang Baiqiu's house, so he came together.
After Chai Yan helped lead the horse into the stable, he planned to leave: "Sir Hang, if there is nothing else, I will go back first..."
After winning against Sun Xingba last time, Jimo Qiao promised to help Chai Yan meet her sister. I don't know if Jimo Qiao is ready after a few days.
If Jimo Qiao failed to find him in the past few days, he would definitely lose his temper again, so he had to go back quickly to check the situation.
"It's okay, you can go..." Hang Baiqiu closed the stable door and suddenly turned around and warned: "By the way, no one is allowed to say anything about what happened in the past few days!"
Hang Baiqiu was referring not only to the case, but also to the small misunderstandings between himself and Chai Yan.
Just as Chai Yan was about to agree, he suddenly heard an elderly female voice coming from the other end: "What are you not allowed to say?"
Chai Yan turned around and saw two people coming at the entrance of the stable. They were a maid supporting an old woman with white hair. Although she was being supported, the old man was still holding a cane.
When Hang Baiqiu saw someone, he said, "Grandma, why are you here?"
grandmother?
When Chai Yan heard this title, he hurried forward, bowed and saluted, "Junior Chai Yan, I have met Mrs. Hang!"
When Grandma Hang Baiqiu heard the voice of a young man, she immediately straightened her back a little and turned to the source of the voice: "It turns out there are guests! Qiu'er, why don't you invite the guests to sit in the room? It stinks here.
Staying in the stables, what a neglect!"
Chai Yan saw that Mrs. Hang was speaking a little strangely. After taking a closer look, he discovered that Mrs. Hang had a vision problem. Judging from the color of her eyeballs, she must have cataracts.
Hang Baiqiu felt anxious and said hurriedly: "Grandma, there is no need. He...he has to go back quickly..."
After saying that, Hang Baiqiu squeezed his brows hard at Chai Yan, meaning, get out of here!
Chai Yan hurriedly said goodbye: "Mrs. Hang, it's getting late. I'm really in a hurry to go back, so I'll say goodbye first!"
Upon seeing this, Hang Baiqiu hurriedly said: "Then I'll give it to you..."
While talking, Hang Baiqiu drove Chai Yan out of the house like a duck.
