The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

"Qingzhu, take them to the house on the outskirts of the city first and find some doctors to take good care of their injuries." Ji Mengshu gave the instructions in an orderly manner, and then said, "Ning Er, Qingzhu is not safe alone, you should come with us."

Ning Er had some objections, "Master, I must protect your safety." If Miss Ji's safety is not guaranteed, then his safety will be even more at risk.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with you, brother." After Ji Mengshu made the arrangements, he suddenly thought of something and said, "When you're done, come find me at the teahouse."

Qingzhu nodded hesitantly. There were many teahouses in the capital, but a big teahouse had recently opened. The girl must have liked it. She loved going there whether for dinner or to meet someone. She had even become familiar with the waiters at the door.

There was only one carriage when they arrived at the Ji Mansion, so Ji Mengshu followed Ji Yuanzheng and rode on the same horse, bypassing the busy streets and heading straight to the teahouse.

The horse's hooves clattered a few times on the spot. Ji Yuanzheng reined in his horse, dismounted, and asked Ji Mengshu to hold her hand and get off.

The brothers Li Huairong and Li Huaize are both military generals. They usually spend their days drinking and practicing spear skills. They are not the kind of people who would seek to be cultured by coming to such an exquisite teahouse.

The tightly closed window on the third floor slowly opened a crack, allowing several people to be seen at the door downstairs. A middle-aged man sitting beside the small purple wood table was a little curious and was about to look over, when the window was suddenly closed tightly by a pair of large hands.

"A Zhang, what are you looking at? You look so absorbed in it." The middle-aged man's every move was elegant. He was wearing a valuable robe with brocade embroidery and piping, and was drinking tea leisurely.

Ning Rongzhang turned around and said, "Nothing, some familiar cats are here again..."

Prince Wu poured himself a cup of tea. "The rich are living in luxury, but there are people freezing to death on the streets... The capital may seem prosperous, but there are still many homeless people in the suburbs, not to mention the poor cats. Nephew, I want to tell you, don't let your sympathy for a few cats that can't get food ruin our plan."

"Uncle Huang is right."

The waiter saw the familiar guest and quickly prepared the private room. This time, the guest was not led in by the host, but by a few unfamiliar men. The waiter looked carefully and saw that the men were tall and had long legs. They were tall and graceful, and their clothes were expensive. They were obviously the sons of wealthy families.

A few meat and vegetarian dishes had just been served when the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang". The waiter in the private room hurriedly stood up, thinking that someone was causing trouble. Turning back, he saw it was the girl in red. Her black hair was tied up on her head, with loose hair on both sides. Looking more closely, he saw that she was holding a long sword in one hand.

This teahouse is mostly loved by ladies and men of letters in the capital, but for some reason today, groups of military commanders came here to join in the fun.

The waiter quickly retreated.

The woman in red stood at the other end, looking at them leisurely, her eyes full of indignation. It was Li Huaize who spoke awkwardly, "Little sister - why are you here?"

Li Huaixiang sat down, grabbed a chicken leg from a plate of food, and took a big bite. "Why am I here? You guys are eating and enjoying the scenery here, but you didn't bring me along?! If the people around me hadn't seen you guys coming in, haha, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to eat this meal now, right?"

Li Huaize was speechless. He turned his head and looked at his elder brother Li Huairong while scratching his head. The latter said solemnly, "We just met on the road. It was a sudden decision, so I didn't inform you."

Li Huaixiang looked at the only Ji Mengshu with grievance and said, "Ah Shu, it's fine if they don't take me with them, but what about you? Could it be that they have led you astray? But now you would rather eat with them than take me with you?"

Every accusation is filled with blood and tears.

Ji Mengshu panicked and quickly comforted him, "How could that be? Huai Xiang will always be the first in my heart. I went out to do some work today and saw the two brothers of the Li family with my brother. It was a coincidence that I ran into them when I came back. They wanted to have a meal and drink, so they brought me along."

Mr. Li: ...

Ji Yuanzheng: ...

Li Huaixiang nodded and believed what Ji Mengshu said. The two young masters of the Li family saw it and realized that their brothers were not as good as good sisters. They only needed a few words to calm Li Huaixiang down.

Looking around, there was no wine except teacups. Li Huaixiang called the waiter and ordered a few pots of wine. He ate and said, "I heard that someone died in the City God Temple on the outskirts of the city recently... They didn't even deal with the body. Sigh, although it's autumn now, it still stinks."

Ji Mengshu paused with his chopsticks, thinking silently in his heart that those who died must be the ones who wanted to murder Ji Ningqiu, and they were also sent by Liu Huachao.

"Have you found the murderer?" Ji Mengshu asked in a calm tone, as if asking about something irrelevant.

Li Huaixiang snorted with a smile, "Our detectives in the capital don't have such skills. They only know that those people were tied up and killed with a sword. They don't even know how many people were killed, or whether they were men or women, let alone the identity of the murderer..."

Li Huaize followed up with the conversation, "Then the government doesn't care about those who were killed? This is too lawless? How dare they kill people under the feet of the emperor——"

"Hey..." Li Huaixiang tapped his chopsticks, interrupting Li Huaize's words, "Second brother, what you said is not right. Although the government has not found the murderer, they have found out the identity of the murdered person. He is a gangster who specializes in killing people for money. Those people are dead, and it is just right to get rid of harm to the people."

Ji Mengshu listened silently, thinking that Ning Rongzhang's move was indeed powerful, as he didn't leave any clues.

"Well, the government will have to close the case, right?" Ji Yuan was crossing his arms, staring at Li Huaixiang with his long black eyes. The latter shrank his neck, and his aura also weakened a bit.

"Those people are notorious bandits. Besides, the government couldn't find out what happened, so they just closed the case by saying they were being hunted by their enemies..."

The case was settled.

Li Huairong, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly, "We don't know about these things yet, how did you know about them? And you described them in such detail, could it be that you went out and meddled in other matters again?"

Li Huaixiang stiffened his neck and refused to admit it. "Who interfered? Do you have any evidence?"

"You--" Li Huairong was very angry. He suppressed his anger and was about to stand up, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by the person beside him.

Ji Yuanzheng said calmly, "She's still a girl. As the eldest brother, do you still want to take action?"

"Lululu..." Li Huaixiang made a face at him and turned to go downstairs to find her wine.
