The prince didn't seem to have any appetite. He just drank a bowl of soup and then sat in a chair in a daze.
Seeing this, the princess said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go back and have some sleep? You still have to travel tomorrow. It will be tiring. If you go to the capital to see His Majesty in your sick body, His Majesty might blame you again."
The prince stood up after hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, Princess."
After saying this, the prince stood up and left.
When the prince walked away, Baili Xin quickly arranged for the rainbow fart to come up, "Congratulations, princess, you got what you wished for."
"Congratulations, Prince. You no longer need to work so hard and can achieve great things for the country."
The princess covered her face and smiled, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir."
The prince glared at her and said, "Who said I study to get a good reputation? I study because I like to read. As the saying goes, books contain golden houses and beautiful women. Reading cultivates my sentiments and broadens my horizons, which is something that nothing else can give me."
Baili Xin immediately smiled and said, "I spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Highness. Now that I don't need to take the imperial examination, I won't stay any longer. I will leave now."
"Who allowed you to leave?" Before the princess could speak, the prince spoke first, "Am I the master or are you the master? Since we paid for you, we have the final say on when to let you go. You can't leave now."
The prince was very angry.
From the first day, this gentleman in front of me has always wanted to escape. Now that I finally get the chance to give him a good beating, how can I let him go
I will leave here tomorrow, and I don’t know if I will come back again.
He won’t be able to do anything in the future, so he must cherish these last moments.
The young man looked at the princess in embarrassment: "My Lady Princess, look at this..."
Princess: "Since my son has said so, you should stay today. I haven't paid my husband for today yet, so today is a good time to do it."
The young man hesitated for two seconds before nodding, "Well, then I will respectfully obey your command."
After breakfast, the princess began to get busy.
The originally quiet palace suddenly became like a boiling pot, and the servants wished they could grow eight legs and eight arms so they could use all of them.
Although the prince said that he would only take some valuables, judging from the princess's attitude, she should pack up all the things and take them away.
It looks like he'll never come back.
When Baili Xin passed by the wing room, he saw the servants, under the instructions of the steward, packing up all the old clothes that were not worn and piling them in a mess outside.
The steward's loud and clear voice filled every corner of the backyard, "Everyone, be quick and put everything in the yard. The princess is kind-hearted, and we don't know when she will be back. So the princess said that she would give some of her old clothes and other items that she doesn't need to us servants as a reward."
"I have been keeping an eye on you for the princess. The princess also said that the more skillful and diligent you are, the more you will get."
The servants shouted "Thank you, Princess" and moved more efficiently.
Baili Xin walked around the backyard and came to the back garden.
Unlike the busy backyard, the back garden was very quiet and there were not many people.
Or rather, there was no one at all.
Baili Xin was about to walk into the back garden when a voice called him from afar: "Sir, walk slowly!"
He stopped and turned around to see the servant from yesterday running over in a hurry, panting as he ran, "The princess just ordered that no one is allowed to enter the back garden."
Baili Xin glanced at the bamboo forest not far away, "Oh, why?"
The servant pointed at the flowers and plants in the garden and said, "The princess loves these flowers and plants very much. Usually she rarely lets anyone in. Only her personal maids can come in.
The Japanese palace was moving, and the princess was worried that they would damage the flowers and plants in a hurry, so she didn't let anyone get close. "
The young man said, "Oh," "I see, that's how it is. I was rude. Let's go."
The two of them returned along the corridor, and Baili Xin asked, "Does the princess usually spend a lot of time in the garden?"
"Yes," the servant nodded, "Whenever the princess has free time, she will sit in the pavilion in the garden to enjoy the cool air and appreciate the flowers. This is her only hobby. The princess likes quietness and usually does not leave the house."
"Oh, sir." The servant smiled at Baili Xin, "I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot about the business. The prince wants to see you."
Baili Xin raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I'll go to the study now."
"It's not the study." The servant said again, "The prince is in his bedroom now, and he asked me to call you over."
"You probably don't know his room. I'll take you there now."
Baili Xin bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, little brother."

Studio.
Isn’t it clear that the murderer of Xiao Cui is about to be revealed
When Ping'er witnessed the burial of Pipa, she said it was very small and the princess's behavior was strange as she refused to leave.
Even if the princess herself didn't kill him, it's possible that it was her personal maids who did it.
Even if they did it, it must have been instructed by the princess, so the mastermind is still the princess.
Moreover, she sat in the garden every day, and the pavilion in the garden just happened to be able to see the bamboo forest. She was not admiring the flowers, but staying in the bamboo forest. She was afraid that someone would discover the bodies and the pipa and other evidence in the bamboo forest.
From this perspective, the princess killed a lot of people. Not just Xiao Cui.
She could actually sleep even after burying the bodies in her own yard.
It's better to bury it under your nose and be monitored by yourself than to bury it outside and be discovered by someone and suddenly dug out, right
He looked like a gentle person, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel.
If this were put into a palace drama, she would definitely be the woman who survived until the last episode. It's a pity that we are watching a suspense drama now.
Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. Who knows I am actually following a suspense drama in a horror dungeon? Why is Xin Shen's live broadcast style so different every time
Actually, I really want to watch it. If Mr. Xin suddenly comes out when he is halfway through solving a case, and I have already watched the beginning but still don’t tell me who the murderer is, I will probably think about it for the rest of my life.
Impossible, you will forget it after this horror game comes out. I hope I forget everything too.
I hope I can forget it, but I also hope I won't forget it. I will miss watching the live broadcast together, guys.
____________________________
When Baili Xin arrived at the prince's room, four or five maids were putting all of the prince's clothes in the yard.
The clothes were laid out on the racks one by one, and then folded up one by one. He glanced toward the yard and walked into the room.
Inside the room, the prince was sitting quietly beside the coffee table.
He drank his tea leisurely, holding a book in his other hand and reading it with great interest.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Baili Xin lowered his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the Crown Prince's hand, "The Crown Prince is so elegant."
"The only thing I want to take is that pile of books. I have already packed them. Mother has arranged everything else, so there is nothing for me to do." He raised his eyelids and looked at Baili Xin. "Sir, if you move, it should be very tiring, right?"
"Sir, I just heard from my mother that you haven't received your wages yet?" The prince looked up at the expressionless young man in front of him.
You have to perform well today. If you don’t, you will lose your salary.”
Baili Xin: "..."
"How does the prince want me to behave? If you have any questions about academics, you can ask me."
The prince said: "I don't want to listen to that long speech today. I'm in a good mood today, why don't you tell me a story? If you tell it well, I will let my princess give you double the salary. If you don't tell it well, I will deduct your salary."
Baili Xin: "..."
This naughty kid.
In sharp contrast to the busy people around him, Baili Xin and the prince sat face to face for the next few hours. Baili Xin talked freely, telling stories that lasted a whole day, and he talked until his mouth was dry.
He talked about everything from The Investiture of the Gods to The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The prince sat throughout the whole talk, and the two of them only left for a while occasionally to go to the toilet.
It was noon when the prince finally let him go, saying "not bad enough" before letting him go.
There were a lot of things in the palace, and it took from dawn to dusk until the evening to finish.
The princess ordered that since all the valuables were outside, no one was allowed to leave the house tonight, otherwise they would be charged with theft.
Following the princess' order, everyone in the palace locked themselves in their rooms after dinner in the evening.
…
Late at night, several sneaky figures appeared in the bamboo forest.
In the quiet night, they bent down and dug something busily.
Just as everything was being dug out, the door of the palace was suddenly kicked open.
The next moment, detectives holding torches rushed in under the astonished gazes of these people and surrounded the bamboo forest.
To prevent loss of connection, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:
In the flickering firelight, the faces of all these people were revealed.
The princess and her maids looked a little flustered. Amidst the panic, the princess was the first to calm down.
She narrowed her eyes and raised her head, saying majestically: "Who are you and what do you want to do!"
Among the shadowy figures, the detectives gradually made way for the last person to walk to the front.
When she saw who it was, the princess frowned, "Baili Xin?"
"How dare you!" She said sternly, "We are royal relatives, and this is the royal palace, not your little home in Qingcheng Town. You are really rebellious. How dare you even break in here?"
"My Lady Princess, I'm sorry," Baili Xin and Zhang Biao stood side by side. Baili Xin bowed to the princess. "I checked the files a few days ago and found that there were many suspicious points in the suicide case of Xiao Cui in the brothel two years ago. Among them, a pipa that Xiao Cui originally carried with her disappeared. We suspect that the murderer disguised the murder as suicide and took the pipa away."
After he finished speaking, he glanced behind the princess and said, "Look, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, it is the pipa behind you."
"Princess, could you please explain to me why this pipa is under your bamboo forest? Did it grow legs?"
"But we didn't expect it. We thought there was only Pipa, but after we arrived, we found that there were so many bodies. How do you explain this? As far as I know, there was no such thing in this courtyard before. It was newly built after you came. Even the bamboo forest was newly planted. There shouldn't have been these things when it was planted, right?"
"Don't say that someone in your family died. I checked the population records after the palace came to Qingcheng Town, and there was no death."
The princess was being dug up a corpse when someone broke in, so she would have been caught red-handed. She was just being aggressive on the outside but weak on the inside.
Her face changed when she heard this.
The princess looked at the potholes around her and the bodies inside them. After a long struggle, she gritted her teeth.
Just as she was about to speak, the maid who had been standing beside her suddenly knelt down and said, "My lady, it was this servant who harmed you."
The princess was slightly surprised.
That maid
The woman then looked at Baili Xin and said, "It wasn't the princess who killed him, it was me. I can't stand those vixens. Our princess is such a good person, but there are always those bitches who seduce the prince. When I saw those bitches, I felt sorry for the princess and I couldn't help but kill her."
"Then I buried all the bodies here."
"Today the palace has to be moved back to the capital. I am worried that the bodies in the bamboo forest will be discovered by later people. But I can't move so many bodies by myself, so I told the princess about this."
"The princess was furious when she heard this. She originally wanted to bring me here to find the body and then take me to see the official. But now the official has arrived first, which is great. It also saves me from turning myself in."
Zhang Biao raised his eyebrows, "You?! Don't take the blame here. You said you killed someone, then tell me when and at what time you killed him. There's no need to say more, let's talk about Xiao Cui first, Xiao Cui, do you know who you are?"
"Xiao Cui is..." The maid was silent for two seconds, then sneered, "I don't need that bitch's name. Remember it. Also, I've killed so many people that I've forgotten who I killed. Anyway, I know who I killed."
Zhang Biao was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped the bamboo beside him. "Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think that all the people in our government are good-for-nothings? You said you killed someone, so you killed him? You said you forgot about it, so you forgot about it? I'm telling you today, I want to catch the real murderer, not a scapegoat."
As he said this, he looked at the princess, "My Lady Princess, you are a human being, and so is your maid. Why did you kill her and let her take the blame? Is your life so noble, and others' lives so worthless?"
The princess' eyes flickered.
Zhang Biao continued, "Look at this person who follows you. She is so loyal. With just one sentence, she took all the blame on herself. But I tell you, solving a case depends on evidence. The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it."
The princess and the maid looked at each other, and the princess took a deep breath, "You can investigate. But we have His Majesty's edict, and it is difficult to disobey the imperial order. You, the ninth-rank officials in small places, can't control me. I will take my people away tomorrow morning. If you dare to stop us, it is disobeying the imperial edict and you should be killed! I don't know who dares to stop us!"
"If there really is an imperial decree, then we naturally wouldn't dare to stop it," Baili Xin and Zhang Biao looked at each other, "but in fact, there is no such thing."
"How is that possible?!" The princess raised her voice, "Stop lying, this is what the prince said himself."
Baili Xin: "Your Majesty has drunk too much, so it's inevitable that he heard it wrong."
The princess was slightly startled. She glanced at Baili Xin and Zhang Biao in surprise, and suddenly asked in shock, "How dare you fake the imperial decree?"
"There is no imperial edict at all," Baili Xin smiled, "It was just a verbal joke. And the eunuch didn't say that the prince was summoned to the capital. He just told a dream in which the prince was summoned back to the capital. Didn't the prince himself say it this morning? Your Majesty had a dream."
The princess rubbed her temple and swayed on the spot. Seeing this, the maid beside her immediately supported the princess.
The princess's head was buzzing. She didn't care if she believed it. Someone actually dared to forge an imperial decree and stand in front of her so arrogantly. "How did you find out?"
"We actually didn't find anything," Baili Xin smiled, "It's just based on my sixth sense. Although it is rumored that the prince came here to seek immortality, I always feel that there is something else going on."
After all, he is a max-level player in palace fighting. If you can't see this, it would be really laughable.
Generally speaking, what they did was just like brandishing a sword in front of Guan Gong.
"If he really wanted to become an immortal, he should have visited Qingcheng Sect often. But the prince is obsessed with music, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rarely goes to Qingcheng Sect. He is not seen practicing during normal times, and he has no intention of seeking immortality at all."
"The previous casino owner in Qingcheng Town went to the capital as his first stop. After I found out that Xiao Cui had other secrets, I asked Zhang Biao to catch up with them as soon as possible. I asked the casino owner's wife to go to the capital to investigate the inside story of the prince's coming to Qingcheng Town."
"The day before yesterday, we received a letter from her. The letter said that the prince came to Qingcheng Town not to seek immortality, but to be demoted. However, this demotion was not announced to the world, so the only people who knew about it were the dignitaries in the capital."

Princess: "So you have long suspected the palace, but you couldn't find any clues, so you came up with a trick to lure the snake out of its hole? Do you want to see who among us will reveal his true colors?"
"Brilliant, indeed." The princess said, looking up and laughing bitterly, "I thought that all the hard work had paid off and His Majesty had finally forgiven us, but it turned out to be a dream, hahahaha, hahahaha."
"Your Majesty has been very kind and compassionate. He did not kill your entire family but only banished you to this place for the crime of plotting to usurp the throne. How could he allow you to go back after committing such an unforgivable crime? Isn't this wishful thinking?"
The princess supported the maidservant by the way: "Hahaha, good, good, very good. A tiger in plain land is bullied by a dog."
With all the ups and downs in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Then she heard the young man on the other side continue: "So, we actually have a long time to slowly investigate and find out who the murderer is, Princess."
The noise in the yard woke up the sleeping prince.
Thinking that their house had been robbed, the prince and the crown prince rushed over with their men.
Suddenly, the originally quiet backyard was filled with people.
The prince in his clothes was shocked when he saw the things in the bamboo forest, "What, what, what is going on?!"
The prince who was following the prince was also shocked. He stared blankly at his mother in front of him, as if he was looking at a stranger.
The maidservant beside her opened her mouth and wanted to say what she had just said, but was stopped by the princess, "That's enough, Zhenzhu, no need to say any more. Since they have even resorted to this method, they must have long been determined to find out the truth."
The princess's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the prince and the crown prince. She closed her eyes in despair and said, "Yes, I killed them all."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the yard was in an uproar.
The prince and the crown prince looked at the woman in front of them in disbelief, as if they were examining why such a gentle woman in normal times could have committed such a heinous crime.
The maid cried out, "My Lady!"
The princess smiled bitterly, "That's right, I'm not a good person, I'm just a jealous woman. The prince clearly promised me that we would be together for the rest of our lives and that we would imitate Nuwa and Fuxi. But ever since I gave birth to Shen'er, the prince has changed."
"He has someone else, more than one. He just didn't bring her home because of his previous promise, but he has a mistress outside."
"I actually knew it all along, but I just endured it silently."
"Not only that, he broke his promise to marry a woman he considered his true love."
"Back then, the prince also told me that I was his true love. I am his only love in this life, and we will never be apart."
The prince's eyes widened, "You crazy woman!"
"Yes, I am crazy!" The princess yelled at the prince with red eyes, "I went crazy the night you married that woman. I wanted to kill that woman and all the women who got close to the prince."
"The arrival of that woman made the prince calm down. He no longer went out to look for other women, but his heart remained with that woman forever. Later, the woman's child was born, a boy, the young prince."
"That little prince is only this big." The princess laughed crazily. She stretched out her hand and gestured, "I was carrying some gifts to congratulate you, but I heard you whispering. You said you wanted this child to inherit your title and everything you have."
The prince's face was pale and he stood there blankly.
"I am your legal wife!" The princess' voice suddenly became hysterical. "Shen'er is your legitimate son, but you let a bastard inherit your title! You are crazy, you are a lunatic! I will never allow anyone to take away what my son deserves.
West."
The prince's eyes widened. He rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened again. "Could it be that you were responsible for the death of Concubine Shu's son?"
"Yes, it was me!" The princess laughed. "I hated her and her child. So I threw the child into the water. I was standing by the lake at the time, watching the child slowly submerge his hands, feet and head, and completely disappear in front of me. Hahahaha."
The prince was so angry that his whole body was shaking: "You know, I was just joking at that time. Of course, you are my legal wife. And when I said that, Concubine Shu also refused. She said she didn't want to fight for anything, she just wanted the child to grow up healthily."
"Do you think I would believe it? How many true words are said in a joking tone?!" The princess widened her eyes, "Don't think I don't know about Concubine Shu, she is just pretending to be weak. If you ask her that, of course she will answer that way. Because her child is still young, she can't bear such a great blessing. But if she can't bear it when she is young, can she not bear it when she grows up? She says now that she won't fight or compete, but human nature is selfish. Will she not fight or compete when the child grows up?!"
"Later, I didn't expect that Concubine Shu would go crazy because of this incident. It was like killing two birds with one stone." The princess took a deep breath and her emotions gradually calmed down. She silently glanced at the prince, and then set her sights on the prince. "The prince couldn't bear the pain of losing his child and didn't want to see Concubine Shu, so he hid in me to seek comfort."
At this point, the princess suddenly laughed at herself, "Look, Your Majesty, you are always like this. I am more like your mother than your wife. When you want to be happy, you go out to find those women. Spend time with them under the moonlight and make love with them. But once you are hurt, you come to me for comfort. You leave all your best side to those women, but give all your pain to me."
"At the time, I was trying to comfort myself by thinking that if I had another child, the prince would no longer be sad about the death of his child. But Shen'er grew up, and my daughter was born, and the prince became even worse."
"You can have fun, but you shouldn't touch anyone."
"He also flirts with servants and touches the women in brothels. It's so dirty."
"I can only clean up again and again, clean up this garbage." The princess pointed to the mess on the ground and the four corpses, "Your Highness, look, this is the garbage I cleaned up for you."
The prince's face turned black.
The servants around were all so scared that they lowered their heads, and no one dared to look up.
These things were not what they were supposed to hear, and now that they had heard them, there was more to come.
To prevent loss of connection, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:
"Shen'er, my Shen'er," the princess looked at the pale young man with tears in her eyes, "you are already seventeen years old this year, and you are a man who stands tall and proud. I really love you, but I did something wrong. You should listen to your father in the future. No matter how bad I am, you are destined to be your father's legitimate child. Your father will definitely treat you well, Shen'er, I am sorry for you."
After the princess said this, she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the wall beside the bamboo forest.
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
Just as the princess was about to hit the wall, a figure appeared in front of her and chopped down with a knife, knocking the person unconscious.
When the princess started to say those decisive words, Baili Xin had already guessed that she was going to commit suicide out of fear of the crime, so he had already made preparations. He blocked her in front of him the moment she rushed out.
Baili Xin handed the fainted princess to Zhang Biao and bowed to the prince in a dignified manner, "Your Majesty, since the princess has admitted her crime in public, according to our country's laws, we need to take her back and interrogate her carefully. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
The prince looked unhappy. He sneered, "Mr. Baili, I really let a wolf into the house. In order to find a good teacher for my son, I actually brought you in. You are so brave. Even ordinary people cannot break into private houses. Even if I don't have any real power now, I am just a prince! Here
That is the palace!"
Baili Xin and Zhang Biao had no expression on their faces. Baili Xin clasped his fists and said, "We will be punished for our trespassing today. But let's be clear, we must take the people and the evidence away. If the prince stops us, according to the laws of our dynasty, we will have no choice but to offend him."
Prince: "I am the prince, she is the princess! Our case should not be tried by you!"
"This morning, we have already rushed to report this matter to the court. I think an imperial envoy will come from the capital soon." He paused, "Well... this time it's real. When the time comes, we will hand over the case file together with the princess. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
The prince was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he could do nothing but swung his sleeves angrily and shouted angrily: "Get out, all of you get out!"
Baili Xin did not leave, but looked at the prince, "Prince, do you have anything else to say to the princess? We can convey it for you."
The prince shook his head with a pale face, "You guys go, I want to be alone."
Baili Xin: "You and I have a master-disciple relationship. When your mother wakes up, I can let you see her. I will tell you then."
The prince's eyes were red and his voice was choked, "Get out, get out now!"
Baili Xin and Zhang Biao looked at each other, and after digging out all the remains and things from the corpse, they retreated the same way they came.
After all, this person was a princess, so they took her back to the yamen in a horse-drawn carriage.
Fearing that the princess would attempt suicide again after waking up, soldiers guarded the princess' cell continuously for twelve hours.
The next day, when County Magistrate Lin learned about this incident, he flew into a rage and roared so loudly that he almost overturned the yamen.
"Do you two want to piss me off to death? Look at what you have done! You actually locked up the princess?!"
"She is the princess, so what if she kills a few people? It is their blessing to die at the hands of the princess!"
Baili Xin retorted expressionlessly, "This blessing is for you, do you want it?"
County Magistrate Lin was choked up instantly: "!!!"
I'm furious!
He didn't just invite a helper, he actually invited a Buddha to come in, a Buddha who could send him to heaven.
"Stop your sweet talk here. I'm asking you, what are you going to do now that you've locked up the princess? I'm telling you, I can't possibly try this case. You can ask anyone else to try it!"
"Oh, right, Zhang Biao, and you, ever since Baili Xin came, you've been like a wolf finding a wolf, you've got such a tacit understanding with each other. First you sent your own brother in, and now you've sent the princess in. Do you want to send me in too?"
Zhang Biao muttered quietly: "If you kill someone, of course you have to go in too."
County Magistrate Lin froze in an instant: "Get out, get out! I don't want to see your faces. Don't show up in front of me today! You're making me faint."
His face flushed, he staggered and rubbed his temple before falling into a chair.
Baili Xin and Zhang Biao looked at each other, then turned and left.
Not long after walking out of County Magistrate Lin's study, the constable came to report that the princess had woken up.
But as soon as she woke up, she was threatening to die, biting her tongue to commit suicide and banging her head against the wall. The guards were concerned about her status and did not dare to act too roughly. They could only try their best to control the princess and prevent her from moving recklessly.
Zhang Biao: "Put a cloth in her mouth and tie her up! She is a princess, a human being, and a murderer who has killed several people. Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people. Since she has killed someone, there is no need to do this. Go away."
"Wait a minute," Baili Xin stopped the constable, "Go to the prince's mansion and inform the prince that his mother has woken up, and ask him to come and see her."
Zhang Biao was surprised: "You really let them meet? I always thought you were upright, but I didn't expect you would think of their old friendship?"
Baili Xin smiled and said, "Once a teacher, always a father. The prince is a filial son. He must have a lot to say to him.
My mother said that if I can help, I will help a little."
"I'm not a cold-blooded person."
"Just like when you encountered problems, wasn't I there to slowly guide you? Now that County Magistrate Lin has said this, we are both in cahoots with each other."
Zhang Biao laughed: "I guess County Magistrate Lin never dreamed that you would be such a person."
