C94 cat hunting

"Oh?" Xiao Yi Bei laughed. "Then we'll have to find it first. If it jumps from the other side to the other side, it'll similarly hurt us."

He was the first to leave. As he knocked on the bronze bracelet on the door, of course there was no answer. He looked at the heavy lock on the door and regretfully said, "Looks like there really is no one else. I can only rely on my sister-in-law to unlock it."

"Crown Prince, from what I see, Lingzhi seems to have jumped out of the wall over there. Let's go over there." Gu Qingli had a delicate expression on her face. After a long while, she finally arrived and casually pointed out a direction.

Xiao Yi Bei didn't even look at them and said with a smile, "It'll be safer if you unlock the door first and let me take a look. It wouldn't be appropriate to break the precious calligraphy and painting inside."

Gu Qingli gave him a gentle smile. "Why doesn't that leopard cat listen to His Highness's words?" Hearing His Highness not willing to come out even after calling for so long, you must have run far away. "

Xiao Yibei seemed to be intoxicated by her smile and became a little distracted: "Maybe …" It was the Fifth Sister-in-Law's words that frightened it, right? "Someone come, since Fifth Sister-in-law doesn't have a key, let's break this lock."

He had a smile on his face, and it was even a very considerate smile. His gaze was fixed on Gu Qing Li's face, but the words he said were not the least bit merciful.

Gu Qingli's smile faded slightly. "This is the courtyard that Empress Xin's wife used to live in. Since she's no longer here, of course we have to lock her up. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a key."

She slowly walked forward, intending to break the lock. The guard had no choice but to step aside. Seeing her take out the key from her sleeve, he opened the courtyard door.

"I'll have to trouble everyone. Go in and take a look, don't let the Crown Prince's Lingzhi accidentally injure you."

The guards entered in an orderly and quick manner. The leaves and dust in the yard were startled by the footsteps of many people, causing the dust to fly into the air. Some of the flowers in the flowerbeds in the corner had all withered away, but the weeds had grown quite a bit. They were no different from the ordinary abandoned yards that were left untended.

Gu Qingli said apologetically, "I already said that no one has lived in this courtyard for a long time …" The servants must have been lazy to take care of it. It was originally cleaned once a month, and now it seemed like it would be more than a month of desolation. Ai … It's all because of my management incompetence. "

Xiao Yi Bei's eyes were full of doubt as well. He hesitated, wanting to step into the courtyard.

"Your Highness, since someone has entered to search, why do you need to set foot in this abandoned land? Xin Ziyao was strangled to death in this courtyard. Rumor has it that the servants who cleaned the place heard someone crying in the middle of the night. It was rather unclean. "

Xiao Yi Bei's face alternated between green and white before he finally withdrew. Xin Ziyao was his distant cousin, but he still had memories of her. Thinking about this matter, he couldn't help but feel unlucky, and hesitated to go back inside.

Finally, the guards came out one by one and reported, "No, not here."

Xiao Yi Bei was extremely bewildered. He flicked his sleeve and was about to enter, but one of the imperial guards whispered a few words into his ear. His expression darkened, and he didn't say anything further.

That person was the captain of the guards. He told him that the walls of every room inside had been knocked on and that no hidden traps had been found.

In other words, Liu Xin, a living person, had suddenly disappeared from the Residence of Mo King?

"Search, search every nook and cranny, find the Lingzhi!" The smile that had been hanging on the corner of Xiao Yi Bei's lips finally disappeared as he coldly and decisively gave his command.

Gu Qingli's smile also disappeared as she looked at him calmly.

"Fifth Sister-in-Law, don't you want to take me for a stroll?"

Gu Qingli said, "Looks like His Highness the Crown Prince is a bit tired. Why don't you go to my small courtyard and have a seat, drink a cup of tea, and wait for news?"

Xiao Yi Bei was slightly surprised. After looking at her for a while, he revealed a smile and nodded his head.

"Yuying, serve tea for the crown prince."

Xiao Yi Bei looked around and said, "Fifth Sister-in-law, there are only two maids attending to you in this huge courtyard. How could the Fifth Emperor treat you like this?"

"I love peace and quiet. If there are too many people, I would be opposed to all this noise."

"He probably never comes to see you. When I came today, I heard that he took some Miss Li Yue out for a stroll. He said that he was accompanying Lady Li Yue every day recently …" Tsk tsk, how could he have the heart to leave such a delicate beauty like you in the cold in the manor? "

"What does Your Highness want to say next?"

"Don't think too much into it, Fifth Sister-in-law. What happened in the palace was purely a misunderstanding. I came here this time to apologize to you, because it was just my misdemeanor that caused you to have thoughts of him …"

"What did Your Highness say?" What was going on in the palace? "How come I don't remember?" Gu Qingli smiled faintly.

"..." Yes, yes, there really isn't anything wrong, haha! "The Fifth Sister-in-Law is so exquisite that it really makes people happy." He then sighed. "Could it be that Miss Li Yue is some sort of Heavenly Immortal that made the Fifth Emperor look down on you for her sake?"

Gu Qingli smiled but didn't say anything, only lightly blowing on the tea in the teacup.

In the end, they were still at the Mo King Manor. Although Xiao Yi Bei was being frivolous, he stopped speaking and didn't continue teasing her.

Not long after, Yuli's voice could be heard from outside, "Prince, Miss Li Yue, the wangfei is inside accompanying His Highness Crown Prince to speak."

"You're back?" Xiao Yi Bei smiled and looked toward the door. He saw Xiao Yi Xiu walking in with Li Yue in his arms.

Xiao Yi Bei intentionally looked at their hands and revealed an imperceptible smile. "The Fifth Imperial Brother is very romantic. He has a beautiful main wife at home, and he even has an honorary Ghost Doctor in his arms."

Xiao Yi Xiu looked at Li Yue but remained silent. He knew that it was impossible to hide news of Li Yue at the Residence of Mo King, so he did not intend to keep it a secret.

Xiao Yi Bei stood up and walked around Li Yue, causing her to subconsciously flinch behind Xiao Yi Xiu. She lowered her eyes as if she wasn't used to it.

"Fifth royal brother, your vision is getting worse and worse. This Ghost Doctor doesn't look that good, how can she compare to Fifth sister-in-law?" Could it be that under the red veil, there is Zhang Qing Cheng's face? "

He suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it. He was so shocked that he shifted his gaze away from the moon, thinking that he was going to take off his veil.

Gu Qingli looked on with amusement. She regretted that Xiao Yi Bei hadn't really taken off her veil and wanted to see what kind of painting was underneath.

However, Xiao Yi Xiu abruptly raised his hand and grabbed his wrist, fast and unstoppable, dazzling everyone who saw it.

Xiao Yi Bei was so shocked that he took a few steps back. Only then did he feel that the hand gripping his wrist was still powerless. His clothes were drenched in cold sweat. He smiled and said, "The Fifth King's attacks are as fast as they were in the past. What a pity … Even if you have the speed of the past, what can you do? "

He lowered his arm inch by inch, and Xiao Yixiu looked weak and powerless, as if he couldn't hold him back at all.

"The Crown Prince came to my humble abode today. Could it be just to see how many beauties there are in my house?"

Xiao Yi Bei laughed. "I've only come to look at your body, Fifth Imperial Brother. However, it looks like …"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yixiu had already grabbed a handkerchief and violently coughed a few times, as if he couldn't catch his breath. Falling Moon caressed his back, whispering comfort.

Xiao Yi Bei's gaze swept across the handkerchief in Xiao Yi Xiu's hands. His grip on the handkerchief was tinged with a bloody red.

Gu Qingli also saw it and couldn't help but be astonished and admire him. At this moment, she didn't see what he was doing. Just what kind of trick was that mouthful of blood hiding in that handkerchief? In any case, this person's words and actions were full of deceit, everyone would unknowingly fall into his trap.

At this time, the Eastern Palace Guard Captain also brought the group of guards over. He didn't look too good either.

As Xiao Yi Bei walked out, he heard the captain whispering in his ear. The space between his eyebrows immediately creased into a ball.

Following which, the last guard carried the leopard cat called Lingzhi in his arms and whined softly.
