After these words were spoken, not only was Xie Chengyin stunned, but Yan Ci's eyes also became subtle when he looked at Xie Chengyin.

As everyone knows, Hongfangguan is a famous brothel in Dongdu. The beauties inside are all beautiful and charming, and it is a paradise for men.

The only reason people go to Hongfang Pavilion is to have fun.

It was not known whether Qiu Fuqiu did it intentionally or unintentionally. After she asked, she did not wait for Xie Chengyin to explain and stood up to say goodbye to Yan Ci.

"Aci, it's getting late. I'll leave the palace first. I'll come and play with you another day."

After saying this, he looked at Xie Chengyin meaningfully and left Yun Pavilion.

Xie Chengyin's face darkened slightly. It was obvious that Qiu Fuqiu was setting a trap for him.

And he couldn't explain it.

Ever since he discovered that someone else had killed the fake Yuxiu in the palace last time, he has been secretly tracking down that person's whereabouts.

After much difficulty, they found some clues and discovered that the man had appeared in Hongfang Pavilion. They then secretly started investigating, but unexpectedly, they stumbled upon a falling case.

He could explain these words to Yan Ci, but he couldn't tell Qiu Fuqiu. Qiu Fuqiu had no idea that Yan Ci was a suspect in the assassination of the prince, and it would be too troublesome to explain.

After Qiu Fuqiu left, only Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin were left in the room.

Xie Chengyin was still thinking about explaining when he heard Yan Ci say, "It's time for the young marquis to leave the palace."

Xie Chengyin lost the chance to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

As soon as Xie Chengyin left Yun Pavilion, he saw Qiu Fuqiu lying at the door and eavesdropping.

Qiu Fuqiu didn't expect Xie Chengyin to come out so soon. After being caught on the spot, she smiled awkwardly, "Why did you come out? Didn't you explain to Ah Ci?"

Xie Chengyin's face darkened, "Qiu Fuqiu, you did this on purpose."

"Hehe, I'm here to help you because I see you and Aci are progressing too slowly. You have to make Aci jealous. Girls, only by making her jealous can you know whether she cares about you or not."

Qiu Fuqiu spread her hands and said, "But judging from Ah Ci's reaction, you probably have no chance."

Xie Chengyin turned around and looked at Yun Ge with a complicated expression, then left without saying a word. Qiu Fuqiu also trotted after him.

At this time, because of Han Liang's incident, the betrothal gifts sent to the Yan Mansion became a hot potato.

But the marriage has been decided, and the incident at Hongfang Pavilion is still under investigation. It is still unknown whether Han Liang was the one who killed the person, and the Yan family cannot openly cancel the engagement at this time.

Yan Tonglin only secretly hoped that Han Liang was really being wronged.

However, Yan Ru was still confused. After learning about this, she was not dissatisfied with Han Liang's lingering in Hongfang Pavilion. Instead, she wanted to clear Han Liang's name.

She ran to Zhilan Courtyard to see Yan Tonglin many times, but was blocked by Jiang Qingqing every time.

Yan Tonglin was in a very difficult situation at the moment, so how could he see her?

But Yan Ru showed a rare spirit of perseverance in this matter. When he couldn't see his father in Zhilan Courtyard, he began to wait for him on the road leading to the study every day.

After waiting for a few days, he finally stopped Yan Tonglin outside the study who had just returned from court.

She knelt on the ground and grabbed Yan Tonglin's trouser legs, preventing him from escaping for a while. "Dad, please help Mr. Han. He must have been wronged. He will not kill anyone."

Seeing Yan Ru like this, Yan Tonglin, who had been pointed at all the way, could no longer hold back his anger and said coldly, "That is his Han family's business. It has nothing to do with our Yan family. If you are still a daughter of the Yan family, go back to your yard. Whether he is wronged or not will be decided by the government."

After saying that, he went into the study. Yan Ru stood outside the study in a daze, feeling that his father was more and more unkind.

What Yan family and Han family? She is about to marry Han Liang, and they are a family. She can't just watch others talk about her future husband.

Since her father won't help, she will find a way herself.

The incident at Hongfang Pavilion was not a big deal, but because Yan Ci served beside Emperor Tianqing, the matter was heard by Emperor Tianqing.

"If you are worried about your family, you can go home for a few days. Once you have dealt with the matter, you can come back to the palace."

Emperor Tianqing was relatively tolerant towards Yan Ci. Yan Ci had originally wanted to take a few days off to go back and visit, and since Emperor Tianqing had asked, she went along with it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Yan Ci left Mingyi Palace, Emperor Tianqing ordered Yang Zhao to send someone to follow up on the matter.

In the Chaofeng Palace, Yin Lu ran in in a panic and knelt down in front of Xiao Ling with a plop. "My queen, something terrible has happened. Ding Si is missing."

Xiao Ling's hand trembled as she was drawing eyebrows, and the sudden turn at the end of her soft brow ruined her beauty, adding a hint of hostility.

"what happened?"

Yin Lu told the news she had just received truthfully: "Ding Si killed a dancer in Hongfang Pavilion and framed Han Liang, the son of the Minister of Honglu Temple. Now the Han family of the Minister of Honglu Temple and the Yan Mansion are related by marriage. The Yan Mansion spared no effort to investigate the truth for Han Liang. Then, Ding Si disappeared."

"The Yan family, the Yan family again."

Xiao Ling angrily threw the stone in her hand onto the dressing table, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him? How could he have caused such a murder?"

Yin Lu lowered her head. She didn't know either. She had already told Ding Si to keep a low profile during this period of time. Who knew that he not only went to Hongfang Pavilion, but also killed the dancer.

But now that Ding Si is missing, it is difficult to find out the whole story.

"Who is in charge of this case now?"

"It's Yuan Pingjun, the Minister of the Dali Temple."

"Then keep an eye on the Dali Temple and report any news promptly."

Ding Si, who had disappeared at this time, was knocked unconscious, tied up, and locked in a small dark room.

Xie Chengyin stood outside the door and could just see the person lying on the ground through the hole in the wall.

Qicun came out of the room and just fed Ding Si a bowl of water. He wiped his hands with some disgust and stood behind Xie Chengyin.

Xie Chengyin asked: "Did you find out anything?"

Qicun shook his head, "He is very strict with his mouth. If I hadn't removed his jaw long ago, I'm afraid he would be dead by now."

Then he took out a small black pill from his body and handed it to Xie Chengyin, "This was found on him."

Xie Chengyin looked at the pill and smelled it. There was no special smell. "Take it and let the court doctor test its ingredients to see what it is used for."

They had been secretly keeping an eye on Hongfang Pavilion. After the government sealed off Hongfang Pavilion, everyone inside was searched. Only Ding Si managed to evade the government's sight and sneak out, but he was caught by Qicun who had been waiting outside.

Qicun had seen Ding Si once on the day when fake Yuxiu died, so he recognized him immediately in Hongfang Pavilion.

In order to take the man away quietly without alerting the authorities, Xie Chengyin and Qicun waited for several days before finally waiting for this guy to escape from Hongfang Pavilion through the escape passage they deliberately left and fall into their hands.

It's a pity that after being locked up for two days, we couldn't get any information out of him except that he was still alive. We could only feed him water every day to prevent him from dying.

Walking out of the dark room, Qicun remembered, "Master, Miss Thirteen has returned to the Yan Mansion."

"She still left the palace."

Xie Chengyin knew that Yan Ci still cared about the safety of the Yan family.
