Liang He was even more clear on the strength of his subordinates. Since they were keeping an eye on them, there naturally wouldn't be any problems.
However, it was as if he was slapping himself in the face. Liang He couldn't help but feel that it was inconceivable for such an unarmed woman to run out from under his surveillance.
Noticing his own crown prince frowning and not saying anything, the man in black who was outside the carriage continued, "This subordinate's two men searched the room but didn't find anything. We only found a piece of clothing with medicinal liquid and tainted blood."
When Liang He heard this, he couldn't help but recall the clean and spotless clothes Bai Yiyi had worn when she examined the corpse. It seemed that it was as he had expected.
Yan Ling looked at Liang He and saw that she was frowning slightly. The expression on her face was somewhat complicated, and one could not tell what she was thinking.
After a long while, Liang He finally opened his mouth. He looked at the two people kneeling below and asked, "Where's the clothes and the thing I asked you to search for? Did you find it?"
"The two of them rummaged under the tree roots in the yard and found a package inside. There were some dregs, a broken bowl, and a small bottle." A person said with his head lowered.
Liang He and Yan Ling now knew who the culprit was. However, they had managed to escape right under their noses. This kind of mood could not help but be depressed.
Liang He's calm voice did not sound happy or angry. He only said to the two, "Bring the item to the front and let that person inspect it."
Only after the two of them left the courtyard did Liang He let out a light sigh. With some anger, he slammed his fist against the stone table in the courtyard.
Yan Ling jokingly wrapped around Liang He's hand and said softly, "Don't smash it. If it breaks, you have to compensate him. Who knows what kind of material he's made of?"
Upon hearing this, Liang He was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. Then, as if he thought of something, the smile on his face deepened.
"What did you think of?" Is it that funny? " Yan Ling looked at the person who had been frowning with a worried expression a moment ago and suddenly laughed. He then asked curiously.
On the other hand, Yan Ling wrapped his arms around Yan Ling's hands and said in a gentle voice, "Thinking about the last time we searched for jade pendants, we also had people steal them right under our noses."
When Yan Ling heard this, he also laughed, "So these two cases are quite similar. "Look, these two things are all because of me, and I was the one who dragged you into it."
When Liang He heard that, he thought he was feeling guilty again from the thousand-year excitement, so he wanted to advise her to stop thinking about it.
However, Yan Ling seemed to be able to read Liang He's mind. Before he could say anything, he had already raised his hand to cover his mouth, and then indicated that Liang He should temporarily stop talking and listen to what he had to say.
Seeing Liang He nod, Yan Ling then released his hand and continued, "But even if last time's case was a little complicated, we still successfully completed our differences. This time, it will definitely be the same. You don't have to worry about it for now, everything will be fine."
After listening to these words, Liang He finally understood what Yan Ling wanted to express. He couldn't help but smile, and swept away the gloomy atmosphere.
"Don't worry. I'm fine. I just feel like my subordinates are getting more and more useless."
It was then that Yan Ling said with a smile, "Hong Ye must have planned to escape since the very beginning. Since she was able to escape under the noses of your men, there must be a special world in her room. "Actually, we can't blame them. If we had discovered them earlier, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Hearing Yan Ling's words, Liang He laughed. "I've seen people plead for others before, but most of them were in front of others. If you were to plead for me behind their back, what could I possibly ask for?"
Yan Ling did not mind and said with a smile, "They are your subordinates, so you will handle it yourself. You do not need me to say anything. I will just say a few more words at this time."
When Liang He heard this, he also understood what Yan Ling had been thinking. She had purposely avoided those two people, afraid that she would break his rules because of him. After all, why wouldn't Liang He like a woman who thought of him everywhere?
Liang He extended his arms and pulled Yan Ling into his embrace. He said softly, "You know, I won't mind."
He raised his head and looked Liang He in the eye as he said, "Of course I know, but I don't want to rely on this to affect you."
Liang He's heart was moved. When he spoke again, he said in a teasing tone, "What are you afraid of? I am their master. In the future, you will be their mistress."
As expected, after hearing this, Yan Ling felt his face turn red. He then reached out his hand to pat Liang He gently. Feeling a little embarrassed, he asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liang He also knew that it was time to stop, so he could only gently place his head on Yan Ling's shoulder and did not say anything more.
After a while, when Liang He and Yan Ling left, Mu Qingqiu had already finished inspecting the pile of things.
It was as Liang He had guessed. The clothes that he had found in Red Leaf's room were the ones Bai Yiyi had worn before she died. The leftover liquid medicine and blood on them all contained toad tofu.
The dregs and the medicine bowl were naturally the same, and that small bottle was the container for the Red Leaf Toad Sesame.
Then, it was worth mentioning that Mu Qingqiu had said that the price of the small bottle was quite high and was not something that could be used by an ordinary person. Logically speaking, it shouldn't appear in the hands of a little girl.
"How do you know this bottle is expensive? Aren't you a doctor? Have you ever been a craftsman before? " Liang He's mood had improved a lot from his exhortation just now. He was already in a good mood to bicker with Mu Qingqiu again.
It could only be said that the two of them had already received orders and returned to Red Leaf's room to continue searching for clues. Otherwise, if he saw the crown prince in such a state, he would probably think that they were the ones who had angered him.
Mu Qingqiu understood that this crown prince was deliberately causing trouble for her and immediately glared at him. "Just like how you destroyed my ebony table last time, my place is filled with treasures. There are a lot of valuable things here. Naturally, I can see through such a small thing. "
Mu Qingqiu's words implied that this old man had always loved to collect all sorts of treasures, so these items were nothing in my eyes. Even if I had seen and understood them, it was normal for me to do so.
Hearing this, Liang He thought of the first time they had met and how Mu Qingqiu had asked him to give him a good ebony table. Liang He's complexion immediately became unpleasant.
However, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but at this moment, Mu Qingqiu was standing in front of a table made of ebony wood.
