Li Mansion.
Li Cheng spent the whole night thinking about Ji Yunshu's visit to Gaoding.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
The sky had just turned bright when he decided to rush to the city's department.
Before he left, he was stopped by Li Wenshi, who was sitting in the hall.
His eldest brother, Li Qiao, was also there.
The father and son seemed to have just finished discussing something.
"Where are you going so early?"
Li Cheng entered the hall and answered honestly, "To the department."
"I heard something happened at the city gate yesterday."
"A skull was found in a stone."
Li Wenshi took a sip of tea. "Are you in charge?"
"Yes."
"I'll send some people to help you so you don't mess around."
"No need!" Li Cheng refused.
'Oh, so cool?
I don't even need help. '
Li Wenshi asked, "Can you really do it alone?"
Li Cheng: "Dad, do you know the case I worked on in Yiwu?"
"Yes."
"Actually, it wasn't me who found it. It was an expert! That person can draw a portrait from the bones and restore the appearance of the deceased. Even a pile of bones is nothing to him. "
Li Wenshi already knew about it, so he wasn't surprised.
He only replied with a "En".
Li Cheng said happily, "Father, you definitely didn't expect them to come to Gaoding."
"Oh?" Li Wenshi suddenly became serious and put down the teacup in his hand.
Li Cheng said, "I've already ordered people to look for them in the city. Once they find that person, the case will definitely be solved."
Li Qiao asked, "Are you so sure?"
"Big Brother, you haven't seen that person solve the case. If you see it with your own eyes, you will naturally know."
"You've never praised anyone like this before."
"I've always had a discerning eye for talent. Those who can catch my eye are definitely not ordinary people."
Li Qiao glanced at his father.
Li Wenshi seemed to be thinking about something, then waved his hand. "Forget it, hurry up and do your work."
"Yes!"
Li Cheng eagerly walked away.
After that, Li Qiao asked, "Father, what do you think?"
Li Wenshi said in a low voice, "Previously, I've already ordered people to investigate the identity and whereabouts of those people, but they found nothing."
"Based on what Ah Cheng said, that person is a capable person. It might not be a bad thing if we can make use of him in the future."
"But I'm afraid that if such a talented person really helps Cheng 'er solve the skeleton case, then not only will we want to make use of her, I'm afraid that the Second Prince's people will also be very interested."
"Then we'll have to make the first move."
Li Wenshi said, "There's no hurry. Let's observe first. After all, those people's identities are still unknown."
"Then everything will be as Father says."
…
Early in the morning, Li Chengyi went to the City Department.
It was an hour earlier than usual.
The people in the department thought he had been enlightened and was so eager to improve.
But in fact, he was waiting for news.
Sure enough, not long after, a lowly official came in to report, "Sir, I've found it."
She handed him a piece of paper.
He grabbed it and saw an address written on it.
Immediately, he was extremely excited.
"Let's go and invite an expert!"
As he spoke, he stepped out of the door.
The lowly official scratched his head in confusion. He could not understand what kind of person could make Crown Prince Cheng so excited.
Curious, Zhang Xuan hurriedly followed behind Zhang Xuan.
At this time …
Jing Rong had been silent since he came back last night.
He sat on the veranda in the front yard until daybreak.
His eyes wandered and his mind was restless.
Ji Yunshu looked at him from afar for a long time before she walked over and quietly sat beside him.
She asked, "How is Jing Xuan?"
Hearing this, Jing Rong looked at her. "How did you know?"
"I saw you go out last night."
"I really can't hide anything from you."
"That day at the inn, you heard someone talking about Jing Xuan. You were worried. Not only you, but I was also very worried. How is she now?"
Jing Rong told her about Jing Xuan's situation.
Ji Yunshu sighed. She was only a little surprised because today's result was already within her expectations.
Once Concubine Xiao and Jing Yi died, Jing Xuan, the princess, would only exist in name.
She said, "I know you are worried and heartbroken, but Jing Xuan is right. In this situation, you can't take her away. After all, it involves two countries. If she really leaves, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
Jing Rong clenched his fists. "I can't let her stay there any longer. I have to find a way to take her away."
"Jing Rong …" Ji Yunshu said, "No matter what, you can't take risks. Otherwise, even if you save Jing Xuan, she will never be at ease."
Risk!
Jing Rong's expression was solemn. "Yunshu, along the way, we have taken more than one or two risks."
"But this is different."
"I know. Don't worry, I will come up with a foolproof plan before taking action." Ji Yunshu grabbed his hand and nodded. She said seriously, "You always said that no matter what I want to do, you will be with me. If you want to do something this time, I will also be with you. But no matter what you decide, you must not hide it from me. I will help you think of a way.
”
He held Ji Yunshu's slender hand back. "I know."
Their eyes met.
There was no need to use words to express their feelings for each other.
Just at this time …
All of a sudden, someone was knocking on the door anxiously.
Jing Rong was about to open the door when he saw Song Zhi rushing in with a book in his hands. "Let me do it, let me do it."
Very diligent!
When the door opened, he saw Li Cheng's expectant and smiling face.
When he saw Song Zhi, he was overjoyed.
"Oh, poor scholar, it's really you!"
Song Zhi was speechless.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, I want to see the little master."
"Ah?"
Li Cheng had already pushed him away and directly led his men in.
He saw Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu in the corridor on the left.
He rushed over with small steps.
"Little Master, you made me look for you!"
As he spoke, he spread his arms to hug Ji Yunshu.
Before he could get close, Jing Rong shifted his feet and stood between the two of them.
Jing Rong poked Li Cheng's chest with a finger. His face darkened. "Crown Prince Cheng, please pay attention."
He was slightly embarrassed. He smiled and let go of his hands. "I was too happy and didn't mean to offend you."
"…"
Ji Yunshu asked, "Crown Prince Cheng, how did you know we were here?"
"This Crown Prince has supernatural powers!" He raised his chin and was a little unhappy. "I say, you are too ungrateful. Since you also wanted to come to Gaoding, why didn't you come with me? If I didn't see your carriage at the city gate, I wouldn't have known."
It turned out that this fellow had discovered their carriage because he recognized it.
Jing Rong took a good look at him. This servant was dressed like a government official, and the people who followed him in were also wearing the same uniform.
"Crown Prince, this is …?"
"Oh, I was too happy and almost forgot about the important matter!" He slapped his forehead. "You must know what happened at the city gate yesterday, right?"
