Shadow had thought that he would definitely be able to kill Jiujiu, but to his surprise, there was no one on the bed at all.
Shadow searched under the bed and in the wardrobe, but he couldn't find anything. Only then did he leave with the menu that Jiujiu had casually tossed onto the table.
Once Little White was certain that Shadow had left, he sent Jiujiu out of the space.
Jiujiu patted her chest as she blinked. "Oh my goodness, what's wrong with Little Prince? It's been so long, but he still hasn't caught anyone."
And he even had the other party come to her place with a knife to look for her.
And judging from Shadow's murderous aura earlier, if Little White hadn't sent her into the space, Shadow would have definitely killed her.
Jiujiu patted her chest with a lingering fear, then quickly put on her clothes and went to check on Wang Cuilian.
But thankfully, Shadow's main target was Jiujiu and he hadn't done anything to Wang Cuilian.
Jiujiu sighed in relief. She had Little White stay by Wang Cuilian's side to protect her, while she rode on Little Cutie's horse and sped towards the prince's residence under the cover of the enchantment.
Clang, clang, clang. Jiujiu quickly knocked on the prince's residence's main door.
Soon, the doorman opened the door a crack and poked his head out. He looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm here to look for Little Prince."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she waved the token that Little Prince had stuffed into her hand in front of the doorman's eyes.
The doorman had wanted to tell her that Little Prince had already gone to bed, but when he saw the token in Jiujiu's hand, his expression instantly turned serious. He hurriedly invited Jiujiu in and quickly led her to Little Prince's residence.
At this moment, Little Prince was talking to Gao Hei about An Ying.
During this time, Gao Hei had been following An Ying.
However, An Ying was like a slippery loach. They couldn't see anything wrong with him at all. Moreover, what surprised them the most was that An Ying was still working in the Ministry of Revenue. They couldn't bring him back for interrogation. It could be said that if they couldn't find any conclusive evidence, they could only let this matter go.
However, they couldn't just let it go. So, the two of them could only think of ways to make An Ying give himself away.
However, Shadow was too cunning, and they didn't have any good ideas. The two of them sighed for a long time, but in the end, they still couldn't say anything.
Just as the little prince and Gao Hei were feeling conflicted, the doorman reported that someone had come to visit.
To be able to come to the Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night and be brought in by the doorman, it was obvious that the other party had his token.
And in the capital, there were no more than three people who had his token.
Two of them had been out on business for the past few days, so the person who came could only be …
"Li Qian, what are you doing here?"
Little Prince looked in surprise at Jiujiu, whose hair was a mess from riding a horse and whose cheeks were unnaturally red from the cold wind.
Jiujiu glared at the little prince in exasperation as she said speechlessly, "What's wrong with the both of you?"
Little Prince looked confused. "What do you mean, what's wrong with us?"
Jiujiu snorted and said irritably, "Didn't I tell you that man was the assassin from that day? Why haven't you caught him yet? He came to my room again today."
Looking at An Ying's ferocious expression, if she didn't have a cheat, she would have been hacked to death long ago.
During this time, Gao Hei had been keeping an eye on An Ying every day. He hadn't expected that An Ying would cause such a mess while he was discussing countermeasures with Little Prince.
Gao Hei and Little Prince's expressions were ugly, especially Little Prince. He looked at Jiujiu worriedly and asked, "Are you alright?"
Jiujiu snorted. "If something had happened to me, would you have been able to see me?"
Little Prince: "…"
That was true. If something had really happened to Jiujiu, he really wouldn't have been able to see Jiujiu.
Jiujiu snorted and said irritably, "When are you guys going to deal with that assassin? Not only did he come to Spring Breeze Brothel every day, he even came to Drunken Spring Brothel today to try to kill me."
Little Prince's expression instantly turned ugly when he heard Jiujiu say that An Ying wanted to kill her. He looked at Jiujiu, then at Gao Hei, and said sternly, "I'll deal with this as soon as possible.
Jiujiu snorted at Little Prince's words. She ate the fruit on the table as she said, "Drunken Spring Brothel isn't safe anymore. Can you help me and my mother find a safer place to live?"
"En, I'll have someone arrange it in a bit."
Even if Jiujiu hadn't said it, he would have done it anyway. Now that Jiujiu had said it, he had even more reason to do it.
Little Prince's subordinates were very efficient. The next day, Jiujiu and Wang Cuilian moved to a residence near the Prince's estate.
The residence looked very ordinary, but it was fully guarded by guards, so it was very safe.
Wang Cuilian had already been frightened by His Majesty. Now that she had to live in a residence like this, she was really scared out of her wits. The next day, she came down with a fever.
Jiujiu could only stay in the courtyard to take good care of Wang Cuilian.
Because Jiujiu had said that An Ying wanted to kill her, Little Prince had really stepped up his investigation of An Ying.
Because he didn't have any evidence, he had no choice but to use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole.
Wasn't An Ying engaged to Lin Xiao? Little Prince had people find trouble with Chunfeng Brothel and lock up Lin Xiao and Lin Guangye. He casually charged them with a crime and said that they would be beheaded in public.
Lin Guangye had been waiting for Lin Xiao and An Ying to get married so that he could just lie down and make money. But before he could wake up from his dream, he was caught and thrown into prison.
Lin Guangye was still in a daze even after he was thrown in.
Lin Guangye looked at Lin Xiao in confusion. He had no idea what he had done.
Lin Guangye didn't know, and Lin Xiao didn't know either.
She had just been cooking in the kitchen when someone suddenly said that the food here was poisoned. Then the two of them were dragged in.
Thinking of her current condition, Lin Xiao subconsciously rubbed her stomach.
She was now more than a month pregnant. Nothing could go wrong with her stomach.
Jiujiu, who had been keeping an eye on Lin Xiao, accidentally saw Lin Xiao rubbing her stomach. Jiujiu's eyes lit up. She tilted her head to look at Little Prince and quickly whispered something in his ear.
Little Prince was a person from ancient times. The people he came into contact with were all young ladies from noble families. He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, so he definitely wouldn't commit adultery before marriage.
Now that he heard Jiujiu say that Lin Xiao was having an affair with An Ying and that she was probably pregnant with An Ying's child, he didn't really believe it.
However, when he heard Jiujiu's words, Little Prince still believed it. He even prepared to find a doctor to examine Lin Xiao.
