When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue, who was feeling sad and deep in thought, was suddenly shrouded by a tall shadow. She looked sideways.

What caught my eye was a pair of black Shu brocade cloud boots.

Looking up from the bottom, I met a pair of eyes full of concern and inquiry.

Qin Yuechuan stood behind her, looking down at her.

"Are there any difficulties? Is there no progress?"

Xu Xinyue lowered her head again, stared at the cargo box in a daze, and uttered "hmm" softly.

Qin Yuechuan said nothing. He just stared at her for a while and said, "Go back first. Don't worry. I'll take care of everything."

After hearing this, Xu Xinyue felt a sense of guilt for letting others down.

Maybe I can only look for clues somewhere else, but where else can I look?

Xu Xinyue followed Qin Yuechuan with a little frustration, thinking about where to find a breakthrough, and did not notice that Qin Yuechuan in front of him had stopped.

She suddenly bumped into his hard back, which was as solid as iron. Her nose hurt. The numbness and soreness stimulated her to the point of tears. She covered her nose with both hands and cried out in pain:

"Hiss...Why did the prince suddenly stop..."

Qin Yuechuan looked back at her uneasy look, sighed helplessly, threw her a heavy pomegranate-sized cloth bag, and said:

“Remember to watch the road.”

Ignoring the pain, Xu Xinyue held the cloth bag in her hand and squeezed it gently, feeling the grains on her palm.

"This is……"

Without waiting for Yuechuan to explain, Xu Xinyue opened the tightened bag, revealing white rice grains inside.

Each grain is crystal clear, plump and distinct, and you can tell at first glance that it is the new rice of the season.

And they are all new rice produced in Jiangnan...

"I asked Xue Yuan, and he said we could bring some physical evidence. We can take some back and investigate slowly."

Xu Xianyue understood, tightened the bag again, followed Qin Yuechuan to say goodbye to Xue Yuan, walked to the alley, got on the carriage, and prepared to set off back to the palace.

Xu Xinyue, sitting in the carriage, was still in a bad mood.

She lowered her head unhappily, holding the bulging cloth bag in her hands, staring at it intently, as if she was trying to stare a flower out of it.

Qin Yuechuan didn't say anything either, just looked at her quietly.

He just felt that the quiet little sparrow seemed to be even more worrying.

The two of them walked in silence all the way back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

It was not until Qin Yuechuan looked at Xu Xianyue's back as she returned to the guest house that he spoke to Qingyang:

"Tell the kitchen to add some salted duck, crispy fish, and dried fish to Miss Xu's meal today."

Qingyang was puzzled. Just as he was about to leave after receiving the order, he heard Qin Yuechuan add, "By the way, remember not to use tofu in her meals these two days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Here, Xu Xinyue opened the door and was met with the concerned gazes of Xiaochan and Xiaoshu.

The two asked expectantly, "How is it, Miss? Do you have any clues to rescue the master?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head in disappointment and sat at the table listlessly.

He put the cloth bag on the table.

Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan looked at each other, knowing that things were not going well, and they felt sorry for her.

Xiaochan comforted her softly:

"Miss, it's okay, we will find clues.

When the lady was alive, she always said: "There is no perfect crime in the world. As long as something has been done, there will always be clues, but we just haven't discovered it yet."

I think it makes sense. Since this method doesn't work, let's try another one. We will eventually find the murderer."

Thinking of what her mother said, Xu Xinyue's eyes lit up. That's right, the murderer will be found eventually.

She thought: But what is the other way? Otherwise... go to Daddy's cargo ship and take a look? Maybe there will be other discoveries?

Xu Xinyue felt that this plan was feasible, but she would have to shamelessly ask Qin Yuechuan for help and take her with him on the trip.

As he thought about it, he patted his cheek and consoled himself: "People who achieve great things don't care about shame. It won't cost you anything to ask for help."

When I felt the rough texture on my face, I remembered that I had not yet removed my disguise.

I simply told Xiao Shu to prepare hot water for bathing so that I could take a good bath.

After bathing, Xu Xianyue felt refreshed and energetic again. She changed her clothes and sat at the table. She found a bamboo woven vermilion lacquered hexagonal food box.

Xiao Shu opened the food box with a smile, took out the dishes one by one, and placed them in front of Xu Xinyue. They were all her favorite foods:

Rose lotus seed paste cake, water shield soup, lily cake, fried quail, salted duck, crispy fish and thousand-li braised pork!

The best part is, there is no tofu in today's meal.

Even just looking at these delicious dishes, Xu Xinyue's heart seemed to calm down, and the dullness and gloom were swept away by the aroma of the food.

He picked up the jade chopsticks and started eating with relish.

Xiao Chan also came in with a bowl of red bean porridge. Seeing Xu Xinyue eating so happily, she couldn't help but smile.

"Miss, please eat slowly. I have cooked some porridge. Eat some. It will nourish your stomach."

Xu Xinyue felt that Xiaochan’s cooking skills were the best. Even boiling a bowl of water tasted better than that cooked by others.

Besides, this red bean porridge was taught by my mother herself, so its taste is beyond words.

Xu Xinyue excitedly scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and chewed it carefully. The more she chewed, the more she frowned.

After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Xu Xinyue asked in confusion:

"Xiao Chan, what happened to you today?

You can't even cook well sometimes, this bowl of porridge is still a little undercooked."

Xiao Chan was surprised: "How could that be? I cooked it as usual. Today I even kept it on the stove for a while longer."

"If you don't believe me, try it."

Xu Xinyue pushed the bowl of porridge towards Xiaochan and handed him a spoon. After Xiaochan tasted it, he found it was indeed like this and could not help but wonder:

"It's really strange, I have always done it this way! Why is this porridge so hard to swallow today?

It is my fault, young lady, please forgive me."

Xu Xinyue stopped her and asked curiously:

"Is there something wrong with the rice? What kind of rice did you use today, Xiaochan?"

"It's the rice that the young lady brought back!"

"What!?"

Xu Xinyue stood up in shock and looked at Xiaochan in shock: "Are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Chan was surprised and said, "I thought the young lady wanted to eat porridge and brought back this rice, so I..."

Xu Xianyue seemed to have thought of something and asked excitedly, "Where is the rice?"

"The rest is still in the kitchen..."

After hearing this, Xu Xinyue didn't care about the delicious food and ran to the kitchen excitedly. Xiao Chan followed closely behind her: "Miss, go slower, be careful not to fall. I will get the rice for you!"

While chasing, he almost bumped into Qingyang who was coming towards him.

Fortunately, Qingyang was very skilled and dodged, and helped Xiaochan. Xiaochan hurriedly thanked him, but before Qingyang could say anything, she started to chase Xu Xianyue again.

Qingyang touched his head in confusion, and since the prince had summoned him for something, he could only let him leave.
