The night was cold and the wind was cold.

Other than the slightly shallow, faintly discernible crescent moon shining a silver light on the quiet courtyard, there was nothing else in the courtyard but a gloomy, cold and dark shrouded by trees.

Inside the room, the murals hanging on the bronze walls were solid and hanging there, not moving at all. Fragments on the floor were scattered everywhere, and the smell of men and women intertwining in the room had become much weaker.

Under the purple curtain, the woman on the bed was lying on the bed. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her expression was one of unease, as if she was very tired and afraid. Red marks showed up on the white uncovered skin of the quilt, telling of the terrible things that had happened between them.

Under the dim light, the man sitting in the corner of the room was dressed casually. His messy black hair hung behind him, and his half-exposed bangs covered his eyebrows.

Leng Shaoyu brought his hands together and rubbed the noble jade thumb ring. He squinted to look at the side of the bed, and his gaze stayed on the woman's face.

As long as she didn't open her eyes, she didn't need to look at him with those cold eyes. Do not speak, do not talk back to him. As long as she was a little more obedient, she would curry favor with him. Perhaps, he really would let her go.

From the moment he had entered her body, he had known that she was clean, that her body was recognizable. She wouldn't have the guts, he thought.

Under his tormenting, the moment Leng Shaoyu saw that she had fainted, he no longer had the desire to conquer her from the start. He didn't want to bother with her. He had already dressed and walked to the door of the room, but he still came back and carried her onto the bed and covered her with the blanket.

Was she too beautiful that attracted his attention, or was it that his hatred towards her had long since faded, so why would he treat her softly?

Leng Shaoyu took a deep breath, stood up, put on a set of clothes, and walked out.

The servant leaning against the circular arched door in the courtyard had already dozed off, but when she heard the door open, she rubbed her eyes. When she saw the man coming out of the room, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness."

Leng Shaoyu looked at his servant and stopped in his tracks. He only paused for a moment, and without saying anything, he flung his sleeves and walked out of the side courtyard.

He did not return to the Yue'e Pavilion, but instead, went straight to the great hall.

Mo Yun and Ma Gu were already there waiting for him. At this time, Ma Gu had already prepared tea for him.

Seeing him enter, Ma Gu immediately walked over, smiled and said: "Your Highness, everything has been completed. The person in charge of the yamen is only waiting for your orders, you can take action at any time."

Leng Shaoyu nodded his head. He was always at ease with Ma Gu's ways of doing things. Although this woman was a little old, she was shrewd and capable. The most important thing was that she was completely loyal to the King Jin.

Leng Shaoyu placed both of his hands behind his back. He did not restrain his hair, which casually flowed down the smooth silk cloth and rested on his back. His gaze was shallow, and he asked lightly: "How is the situation over there?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary happened. After he left the King Jin's Palace, he went straight to the Black Spring Restaurant and did not come out again." Mo Yun replied to the man's back.

"But Your Highness, do you really think that this matter is related to the King Han? He is your own little brother." Mo Yun's heart was filled with questions. He had always been the one to do whatever the prince told him to do. He had never asked about it, only this time. The king actually suspects King Han, who is the younger brother of his mother and his fellow countrymen, and they are brothers by blood. Moreover, the Duke had done everything his brother should do to King Han, so how could King Han harm him?

Leng Shaoyu frowned, he did not want to doubt them, but since there were not many people who knew of this matter, the only ones that could leak out this matter were those among them, then these people would all be his suspects, including the King Han.

"Whatever the prince tells you to do, you will do. After all, it is not wrong to be careful." Wait until we catch that assassin, then we won't need to go through so much trouble. " Ma Gu said as she handed the tea over to the man at the side.

Leng Shaoyu raised his head, closed his eyes, and said indifferently: "Continue watching him."

"Yes, your subordinate obeys."

"You may leave —" He seemed to be very agitated. He slowly walked towards the staircase and towards the main seat.

When Mo Yun was about to leave, he heard Leng Shaoyu say again, "Go and investigate someone for me. I want to know everything regarding the wangfei's General's Mansion."

Even Ma Gu was startled, not knowing which scene the Prince was singing. Since they couldn't ask, they could only nod and leave the room respectfully.

Closing the door, Ma Gu's face became gloomy. She looked at Mo Yun and asked: "Prince, there's something wrong, he suspects that King Han is secretly colluding with the group, and now he still wants to know about the woman. Tell me, what happened to Prince? It's really hard to figure out how to make us slaves. "

The black sword on Mo Yun's waist released a ray of light, he looked indifferent, did not bother with Ma Gu, and turned to leave.

"I say, what are you acting so arrogant for?" Ma Gu spat at his back with disdain.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she thought, could it be that the prince has thought of a new method to take revenge on that woman?
