Wei Shuying accompanied the princess of the desert on horseback riding for most of the day.

Xierya was also very happy. She said frankly: "Since leaving the desert, this princess hasn't felt this happy for a long time."

Shuying said: "If the princess likes it, you can come here every day in the future."

"If what you said is true..." She looked at Shuying with a smile, "Then I really admire you."

The two went to Pinxianglou for dinner.

When Wei Shuying sent Xierya back to the palace, Xierya asked, "Does the emperor have to give his approval?"

"Yes."

"General Wei is a powerful general of Cangyun Country, but he doesn't even have this little right?" Hillya looked quite regretful.

Shuying smiled, "Cangyun Country has its own rules. The princess is a distinguished guest, so she must be treated seriously. Such a big thing as leaving the palace must be made known to the emperor."

"But I heard that the Empress has left the palace to choose a wife for General Lin. General Wei, you are a hero just like General Lin. Are you treated differently? I am a princess from the desert, but I am not valued by the Emperor and the Empress."

Why would Xierya think like this?

Shuying thought about it and it was true. Xierya was the princess of the desert, and he had no idea that she was promoted by the emperor.

There is no essential difference between him and Lin Shian.

Perhaps the only difference was that the emperor still needed him by his side at that time, while Lin Shian had already been sent to the battlefield to hone his skills.

"General Lin has made an indelible contribution, so we naturally have to pay more attention to him." Shuying said lightly.

Xiya felt as if her heart was blocked. She smiled bitterly for a moment and said nothing more.

The next day.

Shuying relayed Xierya's request to Xiao Lusheng.

Xiao Lusheng thought for a long time, "It's safer to live in the palace, why does she want to go to the inn?"

"I don't know either."

"Okay, just do whatever you want." Although there was nothing important to worry about recently, it was still time-consuming for him to run back and forth between the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

Or perhaps he didn't want to say too much to Shuying, he just wanted to review the memorials and quickly go find Yun'er.

On the day.

Shuying helped Xierya move to Chang'an Inn.

The small shop, which was originally located in a busy city, was now heavily manned, which made the owner and the waiter a little nervous.

After settling down here.

Xierya often sat by the window, watching the people passing by downstairs. Every time she did so, she hoped more and more that her brother could enter the capital as soon as possible.

Everyone thought she was very strong, but only she knew that when it was late at night, she would always wake up crying.

She missed everything about the desert.

After settling down in Chang'an Inn, Xierya would ask Li Juanling to accompany her to the morning market every morning.

To Wei Shuying, Yu Qi and Lin Shian, these seemed both abnormal and normal.

People have come all the way to the capital, are unfamiliar with the place, and are curious about everything. Isn't this normal?

However, when Xierya walked towards Li Fu's mother, the vigilant Wei Shuying still frowned. He whispered to Yu Qi, "Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with buying cantaloupe from the princess of the desert."

A hot wind blows.

People's mood is also impetuous.

They all wanted to stare a hole through Xierya, but they did not notice anything excessive or suspicious about Xierya and Li Fu's mother.

It was not until Xi Ya and her group returned to Chang'an Inn that Lin Shian suggested, "I have actually always had a suspicion."

Several people left Chang'an Inn and found a restaurant to eat.

Shuying and Yuqi looked at Lin Shian, "What do you want to say?"

"You two saw with your own eyes that string of knuckles was tied to Li Juanling's body, but when the body was dumped, could it be that they were the ones who searched her and took it away?"

"It's impossible. My personal guards did it." After a pause, Shuying continued, "Besides, they didn't have any gold or silver, not even good jewelry. How could they just take the worthless bones?"

"What if it was lost along the way?"

"Do we really have to monitor Li Fu's family forever?"

Wei Shuying and Yu Qi looked at Lin Shian.

"Originally, the two of us definitely couldn't think of anything wrong with this matter. It was the Queen. Her intuition is always accurate, so..." Shuying said, "I believe in the Queen's intuition."

Rely on intuition.

Lin Shian also respected Su Yun, but he felt it was a little outrageous.

"I just saw that you two are both very anxious about this matter. If you see anyone approaching Li Fu's mother, or passing by Li Fu's house and talking to the child, you must investigate that person."

Wei Shuying and Yu Qi smiled at each other, "Better safe than sorry."

Lin Shian shrugged, "Maybe."

"However, this matter is too exaggerated. The Empress even left the palace for this matter. From ancient times to now, there has never been such a precedent. The Emperor has been under a lot of pressure in the court these days."

"The Emperor really dotes on the Empress. Empresses of all dynasties, or concubines who have been specially rewarded, are not allowed to stay in the palace for a long time. Even if they return to their parents' home, they have to follow etiquette and cannot stay overnight."

When Yu Qi heard this, he vomited out all the wine he had drunk.

If he hadn't turned his head in time, the dishes on the table would have been imprinted with his unique mark.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Shian asked with a frown.

Yu Qi cleared his throat, "I thought you were questioning the Empress, but who knew you were worried about the Emperor?"

Lin Shian scratched his head, "I am also worried about the queen. This is totally against the rules."

At the beginning, if Su Yun had not helped him to plead with the emperor, how could he have gone to suppress the bandits and gain merit?

After that, how could there be any chance to become a great general in just a few years?

not only that.

Before entering the palace, the Queen Mother returned Wan'antang to her father. Her father would pray for the Queen Mother before every meal.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Queen, Wan'antang would have been gone long ago.

And there is no way he can turn things around.

Shuying said: "The Queen has done many things that are not in line with the rules. If the Emperor cares about it, then he is not doting on the Queen as much as the rumors say."

Lin Shian: “…”

"How about you elaborate on it?"

Shuying asked: "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

Lin Shian looked very serious, "Of course I am serious. Am I still pretending to be confused with you guys?"

Yu Qi smiled, took a sip of wine, and then said in an orderly manner, "Instead of worrying about it here, you might as well pay more attention to where the emperor is placed at night."

This is becoming more and more mysterious.

Lin Shian asked in confusion: "Shouldn't the emperor be in the palace?"

Wei Shuying and Yu Qi remained silent. It was obvious that the emperor was not in the palace.
