The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss
Chapter 58 You Went to a Flower House
Rong and Qing spent two quiet days in the palace, spending most of their time in the study reading.
She asked Zheliu to buy some biographies and history books to catch up on the relevant background and knowledge of this era.
I went to watch it with the intention of learning, but ended up being speechless after watching it.
The more I understand, the more I realize how profound these eight words, "Royal descendants have distinctions between high and low status."
That night, she came out of the study, rubbed her dry eyes, and prepared to go back to sleep. As a result, just as she took a step, a dart passed by her shoulder and with a "thump", it hit the pillar at the door of the study.
Rong Heqing: “!!!”
She took a breath, her scalp tingled and her back felt cold, her heart contracted, and a scream was about to come out of her mouth when suddenly a familiar figure fell from the roof.
She was so frightened that she stopped screaming. At that moment, she even thought about how she would fall down to make her death look more beautiful.
As a result, the light from the corridor fell on the person who came, making his profile deep and three-dimensional, and most importantly, very familiar.
Rong Heqing: "..."
"Mr. Chu, I've told you so many times not to come out of strange places when you have nothing to do. It's scary!"
She patted her chest and glared at him unhappily.
Chu Suifeng raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so angry today? Where did you get angry?"
Rong Heqing ignored him, looked at the roofs around him, turned around and walked to the pillar and pulled out the dart with force, only to see a piece of paper stuck on the tail of the dart.
Chu Suifeng stepped forward and saw Fei Dart's expression suddenly changed. "Someone attacked us? Was it those assassins from last time?"
"No."
"I'll chase him."
Chu Suifeng was about to fly away, Rong Heqing quickly held his shoulders, "Don't worry, you're not here to kill me."
"How can you be sure?" Chu Suifeng was still not reassured.
Rong Heqing stood at the same position as before, holding up the dart and simulating the trajectory for him.
"I'm standing here, and the dart went over my shoulder. If the other party wanted to kill me, wouldn't it be better to just aim at my throat? Don't say that a person who comes and goes without a trace doesn't have the ability to do that."
Rong Heqing spread his hands, "I don't have any martial arts skills, so I definitely can't dodge without any defense. But the other party just shot the dart into the pillar, which shows that he didn't want to kill me in the first place."
As she spoke, she carefully removed the note from the dart, took a step sideways to the light, unfolded it in the dim light, and her expression became slightly solemn.
Chu Suifeng asked curiously, "What did you write?"
Rong Heqing raised his head and looked at him with complicated eyes, "Li Qiu is dead."
"What?" Chu Suifeng was shocked. "How could it be?"
"The emperor transferred him from Yundu. He set out today and was ambushed not long after leaving the city."
Chu Suifeng frowned immediately. The whereabouts of the Xuanwu Guards were absolutely confidential. Except for the emperor and the superior who was responsible for issuing tasks, even his colleagues were not aware of each other's movements.
How could someone ambush him on the road he had to take? And the timing was so good, unless...
He gasped and suddenly looked at Rong Heqing, "It's the emperor——"
"Shh!" Rong Heqing put his index finger on his lips and made a serious gesture to him to keep quiet.
Chu Suifeng closed his mouth but stared at her closely.
Rong Heqing sighed, clutching the note, walked down the stairs and out.
After returning to the bedroom, Rong Heqing threw the note into the oil lamp and watched it turn into ashes before saying, "Demolishing bridges after crossing the river, killing people to silence them, rulers throughout history have always liked to play these tricks."
"Li Qiu has not completed his mission and knows too much. It is shameful to frame an official. How could the emperor allow someone who knows his secrets to live in the world?"
Chu Suifeng pursed his lips, his face looked a little sour, and after a while he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Pathetic."
The emperor is pitiful, and Li Qiu is also pitiful.
Rong Heqing nodded, "You know who sent this note without asking."
Anyone who knows Li Qiu's movements and wants to send a letter to me is the only one who is not good enough.
"But why did he send me a letter?" Rong Heqing murmured.
"Perhaps it's a reminder for you not to think too highly of the royal family." Chu Suifeng stood in front of the couch with his arms folded, and there was a smell of rouge and powder on his body that came from nowhere.
Rong Heqing thought at first that she had smelled it wrongly, but as time passed and the breeze from the window blew in, the smell kept drilling into her nose.
She couldn't help but smell it, and her body also leaned towards the source. After a while, she felt her eyes darken. She looked up and saw Chu Suifeng standing in front of her, his eyelids drooping expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"
Rong Heqing put the knuckle of his index finger under his nose and frowned at him, "You went to a brothel? You smell so much of powder. Xiao Chu, I'm not saying that doing those things too early is bad for your health. You're only sixteen, and you haven't finished growing yet."
Chu Suifeng didn't understand what she was saying at first, and stared at her blankly. After a long while, he finally understood her expression. His face got hot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you thinking? I didn't do that!"
Rong Heqing looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"
Chu Suifeng's face was about to turn into a monkey's butt. He clenched his fists and squeezed out two words, "Really!"
"Okay, okay, really, really, then what did you do?"
Chu Suifeng got angry when he mentioned this, and glared at her, "It's you who asked me to check Liang Changjin."
"Liang Changjin dares to visit a brothel?" Rong Heqing was shocked.
Chu Suifeng shook his head. "It's not him. I checked a few candidates who were close to him during the exam and found that they had met in Yihonglou to write poems. I followed one of them and pretended to be his patron to chat with him. He said that they knew Liang Changjin in Yundu. They didn't know anything about Liang Changjin's family before, and they haven't seen Liang Changjin since the poetry party in Hualou."
"Anything else you found?"
"No, I checked everything I could. Liang Changjin seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. He is a maverick, has no friends, and has a bad reputation."
Rong Heqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and became interested. "What do you mean?"
She raised her chin towards the seat opposite, motioning for him to sit down.
Chu Suifeng was always rude to her. After sitting down, he frowned and said, "People say that he climbed up the high branch of the Rongguo Mansion with his good looks. In order to make the Rongguo Mansion accept him as a son-in-law, he kept being humble and attentive. As long as Miss Chen from the Rongguo Mansion is around, you can see Liang Changjin asking about her well-being and hanging around her."
Rong Heqing thought about it and realized it was true. The first time she saw Liang Changjin, he was with Miss Chen and was standing beside the carriage waiting for people to get off.
But she was skeptical whether he was courting her or liked her.
Sometimes when you like someone, you want to treat her well in every detail. To outsiders, this may seem excessive and like a bootlicker, but you may enjoy it.
"I heard that he also did some shameful things for Duke Rong."
Chu Suifeng hesitated, "But there is no evidence, so let's keep this matter in doubt for now. Apart from this, there is nothing else useful."
Rong Heqing nodded, held his forehead and was silent for a moment, then said: "Then help me keep an eye on him, see where he usually goes, and come back to tell me in time."
Chu Suifeng was stunned, "What are you going to do?"
