For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Ning Shu. She froze for a moment, then slowly curtsied. "Thank you, Your Highnesses, for your love. This servant is a stupid person and doesn't know anything else. I only heard from the village teacher that there was once a great hero called Lu Bu. He was famous for his fighting prowess and was known as Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses. But because he changed masters several times, he was scolded as a slave of three surnames and was shameless. In the end, he was hated by all the masters. This servant thought that if I casually changed my allegiance to a new master today, wouldn't I be disloyal and disrespectful to the Young Master? I'm not worthy of the new master's attention. "
"Your Highness really knows how to teach people. In this case, if I insisted, I would be ruining her righteousness." Xiao Yunyi said with a smile.
After the banquet, all the Princes and Young Masters bid farewell to each other and boarded their own carriages to leave. Looking at Ning Shu supporting Xiahou Qing as they left, Xiao Yunyi stood on the spot and stared for a long time. It was so long that his palms were red from clenching them before he slowly let go.
After leaving the Third Prince's residence and climbing into the carriage, Ning Shu exhaled deeply.
"Why didn't you choose Xiao Yunyi?" Xiahou Qing asked quietly.
Ning Shu asked in confusion, "Why did you choose him?"
"He could recognize you with just a pair of eyes. Can't this kind of friendship move you?" She didn't know why, but although there was a faint smile on his lips at this moment, his tone was extremely cold, completely different from when he helped her to cover it up.
At the thought of what happened just now, Ning Shu's head hurt again. "If he recognized me, then he stopped me just now and attracted everyone's attention to me. It's tantamount to pushing me into a fire pit. No matter if he did it on purpose or not, he's harming me. If he didn't recognize me and hooked up with anyone who looked similar, then if he could hook up with a little eunuch today, he could hook up with another little palace maid tomorrow. So no matter if he recognized me or not, I don't want a man like him. "
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then how did Your Highness recognize me? What if I was also disguised by someone else? "
Xiao Yunyi was using his eyes, but he couldn't even see her.
Xiahou Qing faintly said, "A person can change their appearance and deliberately change their voice, but the weight and way of walking and the rhythm of breathing are something that has been cultivated for many years. It's imperceptible and difficult to change. Therefore, I can tell whether you are a human or a ghost the moment I hear it. "
Ning Shu nodded.
Previously, he had said that she had a dog's nose, but wasn't he a cat himself?
For some reason, the tone of his voice was almost the same as before, but it didn't sound so cold and harsh.
Hui Mo, who was driving the carriage, turned around and asked, "Master, where are we going next? Back to the residence? "
"To the eastern suburbs," Ning Shu said.
Hui Mo was puzzled, "Why are you going there?"
Ning Shu said: "Because in addition to the night joy, I also found tiny fluorite particles in the soil of the carriage's wheel. And near the capital, only the eastern suburbs have a lot of fluorite ore."
Hui Mo frowned, "There are at least one hundred households in the manor in the east of the city. Are we going to check them one by one? That's a waste of time. "
"No need," Ning Shu dipped her finger into the tea and slowly drew a topographic map of the eastern suburbs on the table. She especially marked the location of the water flow and the fluorite mine, "First of all, the night joy can only grow near the water, and there are only one stream and two springs in the eastern suburbs. So, we can easily reduce the search area by more than half. Secondly, the carriage passed by the fluorite mine on the way back to the capital, so the search area is reduced by half. Finally, the manor where people recuperate must be a quiet and secluded place. It's best that no one will pass by there so that we can avoid being noticed."
Her white fingertips finally drew a very small circle on the water-drawn topographic map. "So the most suspicious part is only left with this last small piece. I don't know if Brother Hui Mo has heard of Tengtou Village? "
"Where is that place?"
She heard Xiahou Qing say, "It's a deserted village. A few years ago, hundreds of people died because of the epidemic. The villagers who survived thought that it was inauspicious, so they moved the village. Now, there should only be ruins left. It's the best place to hide."
Ning Shu was just about to exclaim that there was nothing this guy didn't know. She couldn't pretend to be profound, but Hui Mo suddenly said in a serious voice, "Someone is following us."
Ning Shu lifted the corner of the curtain and looked back. She whispered, "It seems that Xiao Yunyan is suspicious. I have to think of a way to get rid of them."
She asked the maid in yellow about Wan Liu. As long as Xiao Yunyan was suspicious, it was easy to get the information. So, not only did she have to get rid of them, but she also had to get rid of them as soon as possible. Then, she immediately rushed to Tengtou Village to investigate.
Xiahou Qing was not worried at all. He leaned on the brocade cushion calmly. He didn't move at all. He looked like he was watching the fun. He said casually, "You attracted the flies, so you have to deal with them yourself."
She had to deal with them herself?
Time waits for no one. If she wanted to get rid of these people as soon as possible and not arouse Xiao Yunyan's suspicion, the best way was to do that. Ning Shu sighed in her heart. Suddenly, she let out a panicked and hurried gasp, "Your Highness! Don't do that! "
The carriage suddenly stopped. She heard the rustling sound of clothes being undressed.
