The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Gu Ruxiao turned his back and looked like he didn't want to see Rong Lan.

In fact, she didn't want Rong Lan to see her blushing.

How embarrassing! It was just a hug. What's there to be ashamed of...

Rong Lan was even more embarrassed. He didn't know where to put his hands. At this time, he was actually glad that he only had one hand.

"Princess, please forgive me. I really didn't mean it..."

"You're still talking!" Gu Ruxiao shouted angrily, and then pushed him away, "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to chase him."

After saying that, he rushed out of the alley as if he was fleeing in panic.

Rong Lan was a little worried that she would encounter hidden weapons again in the heat of the moment, so he hurriedly chased after her.

Imperial Palace, Leng Ning Palace.

Concubine Qi looked expressionlessly at Shen Qingyan who was asking the palace maid to clean the room, and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, will you sleep here tonight?"

Shen Qingyan said nonsense seriously, "You have no one to serve you, and you are not able to move around easily, so I will accompany you tonight."

Concubine Qi didn't quite believe this.

"Is there something wrong, Queen?"

Since ancient times, it has been unreasonable for the queen to sleep in the concubines' palaces. Isn't that what the emperor should do?

Shen Qingyan coughed lightly and said calmly: "You don't have to think too much. Every day from now on, I will take turns to visit other concubines' palaces."

Concubine Qi narrowed her eyes and sensed something was wrong.

"The Queen is trying to appease the concubines on behalf of the Emperor?"

Shen Qingyan almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Concubine Qi actually misunderstood that she was doing this for Gu Beihuai...

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. Forget it. I won't explain it."

Concubine Qi was puzzled. Could it be that they were hiding from the emperor? She had seen the affection between the two of them before, so it shouldn't be the case.

When Gu Beihuai found out that Shen Qingyan actually went to sleep with Concubine Qi, his face immediately turned cold.

He immediately understood what Shen Qingyan wanted to do.

Forget it, since his Yan'er wants to play, he will just play with her.

The streets of Beijing.

Gu Ruxiao chased all the way, but lost the trace of the man in black by a river.

But a small shoe was found.

Gu Ruxiao picked it up and took a look, and found that it was not Xiaoxuan's, because the clothes, shoes and socks of the children in the Charity Church were all custom-made.

Could it be other children's?

She suddenly remembered the rumors in the capital about the heart-digging evil ghost.

Gu Ruxiao was upset. She knew she couldn't act impulsively, but the feeling of anxiety wouldn't go away.

She decided to walk towards the river again to see if there were any other clues.

Unexpectedly, just as she took a step, a strong force came from behind and pulled her back.

Gu Ruxiao was caught off guard and crashed into the man's arms with a bang.

"What is the princess going to do?!"

Rong Lan's anxious and worried voice came from above his head.

"Hiss~" Gu Ruxiao covered her head, her face suddenly filled with anger, "Rong Lan, this princess really wants to ask you what on earth you are going to do?"

Rong Lan looked a little nervous, his face flushed red.

"Princess, this river is bottomless and very dangerous. It is also very likely a trick of the thieves. You must not be fooled..."

Gu Ruxiao was slightly startled before he reacted.

"Did you think I was going to jump?"

Rong Lan was also stunned at this time, "Isn't it?"

Gu Ruxiao felt touched and felt angry and amused at the same time.

"Thank you, I'm not that stupid."

Rong Lan was somewhat embarrassed. Seeing her rubbing her forehead and grimacing, he immediately apologized.

"Princess, please forgive me. I didn't do it on purpose this time..."

"Okay, how many times have you begged me for forgiveness? None of this matters. The most urgent thing is to find clues quickly. But, why are you here too?"

Rong Lan explained with an unnatural look: "I just happened to be passing by..."

Gu Ruxiao frowned, obviously not believing it.

"so coincidental?"

She looked Rong Lan up and down, her suspicion growing deeper and deeper, "Are you one of their accomplices?"

Rong Lan quickly explained, "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. I'm really just passing by..."

Well, when he got nervous, he even changed his address. Gu Ruxiao felt even more that he was hiding something.

"You were sneaking around the streets late at night, and you just happened to help me avoid the hidden weapons. You just happened to know that they would ambush, and now you come here with me. Tell me, what do you want to do? What is your relationship with them? Are you trying to help them delay time?"

The series of questions left Rong Lan speechless for a moment, and he felt as if he couldn't get rid of the feeling even if he jumped into the river.

"The princess misunderstood..."

"Stop, don't come any closer!"

Gu Ruxiao has already raised the whip in his hand.

"Rong Lan, this princess now suspects that you are in cahoots with those thieves!"

Just at this moment, Caiyun happened to rush over with the guards from the princess's mansion.

"your Highness!"

Gu Ruxiao was immediately surprised, "Good luck Caiyun, you came at the right time!"

She was a little worried that she couldn't deal with Rong Lan alone.

"Someone, take Rong Lan down!"

The next morning, Gu Beihuai received the news early in the morning.

His good sister tied up his loyal and capable minister Rong Lan and took him to the Dali Temple.

After Pei Zheng explained the whole story, he rubbed his brows with a headache.

Gu Ruxiao and Rong Lan each have their own opinions, but neither can provide any definite evidence.

One said that Rong Lan was most likely an accomplice of the child trafficker, and the other said that he just happened to pass by.

But Rong Lan came out alone last night, and no one could prove that he just happened to pass by and saw injustice.

Gu Ruxiao also had no solid evidence to prove that Rong Lan was in cahoots with those thieves...

In this regard, Gu Beihuai could only let Gu Ruxiao go back first.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You should go back to the Princess's Mansion and stay well. Don't be so reckless in the future, and don't take risks alone."

This time, Gu Ruxiao rarely obeyed.

"Royal brother, Xiaoxuan from Ciyou Hall is missing. If he falls into the hands of those thieves, I'm afraid he will be in great danger!"

"I have already sent the Imperial Guards to look for him."

"But wouldn't it be clearer if we forced Rong Lan to answer?"

"There is no evidence now to prove that he is an accomplice of those thieves." Gu Beihuai's good temper was almost exhausted.

"Royal brother, you are partial to your ministers and don't care about my feelings at all!"

After Gu Ruxiao finished speaking, he ran away with red eyes.

Looking at her back, Gu Beihuai sighed silently.

Rong Lan was also a little stunned, but subconsciously said to Gu Beihuai: "Your Majesty, the princess is also worried about the child. It is understandable that she suspects me in her excitement, but I will prove my innocence."

Gu Beihuai was a little surprised, "If I heard correctly, you are speaking for Ruxiao?"

Rong Lan reacted and quickly explained, "I just understand the princess's feelings better."

Gu Beihuai looked Rong Lan up and down with deep eyes, and the words he said next were even more meaningful.
