Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Su Fei?"

Hearing this name, Ye Fan blurted out, "Su Qingying?"

"Ok!"

Ning Zimo nodded, "The night before yesterday, Princess Yu Youwei of Prince Yuanzheng found me... and said that Concubine Su asked her to contact you... Yu Youwei approached you more than once, but you showed no intention of accepting the invitation, so she came to me..."

"Ye Fan, I'm just saying this, it doesn't matter if you don't go!"

After a pause, Ning Zimo spoke again, his voice slightly nervous.

"This... When did Su Qingying say we were going to meet? Where was the location?"

Ye Fan thought for a while and decided to meet the other party. After all, the other party was very likely related to the half-volume of the Dragon Vein Book, and might even be related to the "dragon" mentioned by the old melon farmer...

"Tomorrow night, the location will be inside the Imperial Palace, which is the cold palace you visited before!"

"If you really want to go, I'll take you there tomorrow night!"

Ning Zimo answered quickly.

"Okay~"

Ye Fan nodded slightly. "By the way, Zimo, you just said that Yu Youwei contacted me many times. How did she contact me?"

"Brother, could it be those notes that asked you out before?"

Liu Mengying continued, "I noticed that there was a fish pattern on the end of those notes. I previously guessed that the person who sent you the notes might be the same person. Now that I think about it, the fish pattern should refer to Yu Youwei..."

"I go…….."

After Liu Mengying said this, Ye Fan immediately felt that what the other party said made sense, and Ning Zimo also nodded.

…………

the next day,

Ye Fan still did not go to the academy. He counted and prepared the talismans and pills because he was not sure about Su Qingying's attitude towards him and her purpose in asking him to meet her.

Liu Mengying also took a leave. She and Ye Fan, who was well prepared, wandered around the academy, stopping to paint from time to time. She had a feeling that she and Ye Fan would not stay in the capital for long...

"Vice President Xiao!"

At this time, Liu Mengying greeted an old man with short white hair who was walking towards her in high spirits.

"Vice President Xiao!"

Ye Fanhe also greeted Xiao Yuanshan.

"Ye Fan, Meng Ying, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you!"

Xiao Yuanshan spoke to the two of them directly, then walked straight to the pavilion nearby.

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying looked at each other and followed.

"Mengying, I followed you before! I also investigated Ye Fan specifically because of my daughter who died in a foreign land... Concubine Xiao Shufei... Now it seems that someone wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

As Xiao Yuanshan spoke, a light flashed on his hand, and he took out a piece of information from the Naxuan Ring and handed it to Liu Mengying.

"Mengying, when I was following you, I accidentally discovered that I was not the only one following you... There were people from the Qiao family and the Huo family, as well as some people I didn't know. I followed them several times, and each time I found a different person..."

"Yesterday, I found the person who was following you again and arrested him directly. The location was..."

After a pause, Xiao Yuanshan spoke again, and handed Liu Mengying a key to unlock the door.

Then he nodded to Ye Fan and turned to leave.

"Brother, Concubine Xiao Shu is actually the daughter of Vice President Xiao..."

"The information here... links us to the disappearance of Concubine Xiao Shufei, especially these jewelry. It seems that we pawned them at the pawn shop a while ago... And a lot of evidence also points to my father as the mastermind behind the accident of Concubine Xiao Shufei's cruise ship..."

After Liu Mengying looked through the information Xiao Yuanshan handed over, her brows furrowed.

"Little Bean Sprout...you felt someone was following you before...it must be Xiao Yuanshan and those people he just mentioned..."

As Ye Fan was talking, Liu Mengying continued, "The people from the Huo and Qiao families... Could they be Huo Tun, Huo Liming, and Qiao Renjie? They have caused trouble for us before!"

"possible!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly. Those people were also in his mind just now.

"Little Bean Sprout, let's go and see who Xiao Yuanshan has captured!"

...........

Soon,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying came to a woodshed in a remote residential building, where there was a middle-aged man who was tied up and unconscious.

Ye Fan casually scooped a spoonful of water from the water tank with a ladle and splashed it on the middle-aged man's face. The man immediately twitched and woke up.

“You… you are… uh…”

...........

In less than half an hour,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying left the woodshed, and the middle-aged man fell into a coma again, but he was not tied up.

"Brother, that person just now was from the Qiao family...but he only knew to keep an eye on me and report our movements at any time. He didn't know who was behind it, and he didn't know anything about Concubine Xiao Shufei..."

There was obvious disappointment in Xiao Douya's voice.

"It doesn't matter, Xiao Douya, I'm going to meet Su Qingying tonight. No matter what the result is, we'll leave the capital!"

Ye Fan obviously didn't care much about this.

"By the way, big brother, why did Vice Dean Xiao suddenly come to us and take the initiative to tell us about following me and the matter of Concubine Xiao..."

As she was talking, Liu Mengying's eyes lit up, "Brother, is it because of the pottery jar that Fan Chensi gave me yesterday?"

"so smart!"

Ye Fan gently pinched Liu Mengying's cheek, "If I'm not mistaken, the contents of that pottery jar should be related to the truth of Concubine Xiao Shu's poisoning... or even related to the accident of Concubine Xiao Shu's cruise ship in Jiangzhou City..."

"Then...what about Su Qingying? That person is incredibly powerful!"

At this time, Liu Mengying spoke again, with obvious worry on her pretty face.

“Little Bean Sprout, don’t worry, I’m not going to meet the other person casually!”

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "That woman is indeed very powerful, but she must have been restricted in some way and could not leave the palace at all, or even leave the cold palace. Otherwise, with her strength, if she had chased me out at the Linde Palace celebration banquet, I would have been in great danger..."

"Moreover, judging from Zi Mo's description, Su Qingying usually hides her strength... She didn't chase him out before, probably because she didn't want to expose her strength..."

At this point, Ye Fan looked at Liu Mengying with a serious expression, "Little Bean Sprout, the problem here is not that big, but you, you must be careful, if I don't come back before dawn, you will leave directly through the teleportation array I set up before, understand!"

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Mengying nodded seriously.
