Ji Yunshu told Li Shiyan, "I will hide in the rockery in the courtyard. When the people outside come in, I will seize the opportunity to leave."
"I know what to do!" Li Shiyan said.
Ji Yunshu didn't stay any longer and was about to leave.
However, Li Shiyan called out, "Shu 'er!"
It had been five years since he last called out her name.
Ji Yunshu stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at the figure behind the door. Li Shiyan was like a big boy. Even if he couldn't see Ji Yunshu's face clearly, his heart still tightened. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up shyly. He stammered, "Actually … I'm still in a bit of a trance right now. My head is buzzing! I really … I really can't believe that you would appear here! It's like a dream. Shu 'er, it's been five years since we parted. That year, I left in a hurry and didn't have the chance to talk to you properly. Now that I think about it, I regret it so many times over the years.
I wanted to find you, but my father was watching me closely. So … I'm really happy to see you! I still have the same words from that year. Being able to know you is already very good. "
Ji Yunshu smiled and softly said, "Me too. Being able to know you is also very good."
Although Li Shiyan had followed her all the way to the capital, if it weren't for him, she would have died in Liang Mountain.
This kindness had always been there.
Li Shiyan said, "This time, I have to thank you for your help."
"You saved me that year, so I should help you today. As long as you didn't kill anyone, I will definitely help you find evidence to prove that you aren't the murderer."
"So … you also want to repay my kindness?"
"Friendship coexists," Ji Yunshu said.
Li Shiyan laughed like a big boy again.
Then, he suddenly shouted, "Shu 'er!"
"What's wrong?"
He hesitated and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
The words that accumulated in his heart finally came out. "You should be careful. If you encounter any problems, you should go find Ziluo. He will help you."
Ji Yunshu's expression froze for a moment. She pursed her red lips and softly said, "En."
Then, according to her original plan, she hid in the rockery in the courtyard.
Li Shiyan waited for a while, then he used all his strength to knock on the door in front of him, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Someone come! Guards! "
The sound was as loud as a bell!
The two elite soldiers guarding outside heard the commotion inside and immediately rushed in.
"Prince, what's wrong?"
Li Shiyan pretended to be nervous and said, "You two, quickly come in. My room … it seems like someone has entered?"
It was very strange!
Combined with what the manservants said about a shadow flashing past the manor, the two elite soldiers were on high alert when they heard this. They immediately took out their keys and opened the door.
He rushed in!
The room was still very dark, and there was no light.
"Heir, are you alright?"
Li Shiyan, on the other hand, was standing safe and sound in front of them. He waved his sleeve and said, "I'm fine. I just saw a shadow come in. You guys quickly search the house carefully."
"Yes!" Thus, the two men pulled out their swords and began to search the house. One of them also took advantage of the situation to light up the room. The dim light gradually shrouded the room. Aside from the orderly furnishings, there was nothing else in the room. There was also nothing out of the ordinary.
There was not even a mouse or cockroach to be seen. Moreover, there were no traces of someone opening the roof, and the windows were also intact …
After carefully searching the room, the elite soldier asked, "Heir, did you really see someone come in?"
Li Shiyan was very serious when it came to lying. His face didn't even blush as he said, "I really saw a shadow flash into the room, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared."
"But there was no one else in the room."
"Did you guys look carefully?" Li Shiyan said as he looked outside the door.
"We looked everywhere, but there was no one else."
"Then maybe … I was mistaken!" The two elite soldiers looked at each other and said, "Prince, before, someone said that they saw a shadow coming this way. We were also watching carefully. But now, Prince, you can't leave this place. We also can't let you go out, for your safety."
I'll guard the door. If you need anything, just call me. "
"Alright."
"Then, Heir, you should rest early."
The two elite soldiers retreated and locked the door again.
Then, one of them directly stood guard outside the door, just in case.
Li Shiyan stood in the room, looking through the blurry paper on the window to the fake mountain in the courtyard. Presumably, Ji Yunshu had already safely left.
He heaved a heavy sigh and lay down on the bed.
All the uneasiness and apprehension in his heart disappeared.
Because he trusted Ji Yunshu!
He knew that she would certainly find evidence to prove his innocence!
Although it was just a small gathering, and he didn't even get to see her face, when he thought that he would be able to see her after leaving this place, his heart couldn't help but be happy.
"Shu 'er, Shu' er!"
He repeatedly called her name.
The smile on his face became wider and wider …
After Ji Yunshu left the Water Moon Pavilion, she returned to the narrow passage.
Luo Yang was anxiously waiting inside.
When he saw her, he finally relaxed. "If you didn't come out, I would have thought of a way to go in and find you."
"I'm fine. I just said a few words to Heir."
"I thought something happened to you." Luo Yang's heart was still clenched. He frowned. "In any case, I won't help you next time! No, you also can't do it again. It's too dangerous! "
In the end, he was also worried about Ji Yunshu. His worry was written all over his face, and Ji Yunshu naturally understood. But in the current situation, she had many things to do, so how could she care about danger? She picked up the lamp that she had placed in the corner and lit it up again. It was shimmering.
The faint light shone on her fair face, making her rosy and beautiful.
Luo Yang stared at her, and his eyes almost narrowed.
He hurriedly reined in his emotions.
Ji Yunshu looked around and said, "Let's go. We'll go to the fake mountain in the west wing."
Luo Yang asked, "Why are you going there?"
"To investigate a case, of course!"
"Investigate a case …"
Without waiting for Luo Yang to say anything, Ji Yunshu carried the lantern and walked forward.
On the way, Luo Yang kept asking, "What did you say to Heir? What did he say? "
Ji Yunshu replied, "I asked him about the night Wang Huai died."
"And then?"
"Then I'm going to find evidence to prove that the murderer is someone else!"
'Prove that the murderer is someone else?'
Luo Yang's expression froze for a few seconds. He moved closer to her and asked in surprise, "So you're saying that Heir isn't the murderer? The murderer is someone else? "
"That's right!"
"Are you alright? You only heard Heir's words, and you're saying he's not the murderer? What's in your head? There's a lot of evidence pointing to him as the murderer. Don't fall for Heir's tricks, "Luo Yang reminded her.
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
The two talked until they reached the west wing. There were more manservants patrolling here than in the southern courtyard.
They were more cautious and walked with their heads down, avoiding those people one by one. When they reached the fake mountain where the accident happened, Ji Yunshu pulled Luo Yang into it.
Luo Yang knew he couldn't dissuade her, so he didn't bother to say anything else.
He silently followed behind Ji Yunshu.
Soon, they found the place where the accident happened. Although the pool of blood on the ground had been cleaned up, the blood was still reflected on the ground. There was also blood on the stone next to it. It should be from when Li Shiyan pushed Wang Huai, and when Wang Huai's head hit the stone, leaving behind the blood.
Apart from these two bloodstains, there were no other bloodstains. There weren't even bloodstains from being dragged.
Luo Yang asked, "Did you find anything?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "Let's look around."
With that said, she walked around the small cave in front of her and searched nearby.
Luo Yang followed her and asked, "What are you looking for? You saw the scene of the crime. There's nothing there. This fake mountain is very big, so don't wander around like a headless fly. If someone sees you, we'll be in trouble. "
Ji Yunshu didn't reply.
