Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

After Ling Youyao left Ling's house, she didn't go back directly, but went to find Mu Xiaoxiao.

Although Mu Xiaoxiao has returned to Su's house, the house she left in Tsing Yi Lane is still there. It is quiet and close to Su's house, so it is suitable for the two of them to meet.

When Ling Youyao came, Mu Xiaoxiao was already waiting in the yard. Seeing her coming, she got up and greeted her: "Youyao, you are looking for me at this time, is there something wrong?"

"No," Ling Youyao pulled her into the room, "I just want to ask you to do something."

"What's the matter?"

Ling Youyao retreated from the servants before handing the arrow to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback: "This is."

"My sister died under this arrow back then. I suspect that the person who shot this arrow was Su Lingxi, but everyone who participated in the events of that year died. If you want to find clues, you can only start with Su Lingxi."

She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao seriously, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I would like to ask you to help me find clues related to this arrow."

Mu Xiaoxiao knew about Ling Qingwei's murder, but she never thought that it was related to Su Lingxi.Reminiscent of what Su Lingxi said to her before leaving, it is indeed thought-provoking.Seeing Ling Youyao's preoccupied appearance, she couldn't help being worried.

"Youyao, is that why you left in a hurry yesterday?"

Ling Youyao didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "Before that, Su Lingxi had said similar things to me before, but I didn't think about it deeply at the time. It wasn't until you told me about it yesterday that I realized something was wrong."

She also doubted why Su Lingxi said that before, but she didn't go into it in the end. Looking back now, she did ignore many details.

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed softly: "When Su Lingxi said that, she was already a little crazy. Although I don't know whether she said it unintentionally or on purpose, but since we know it, we have to find out. When I go back, I will Find a way to search in Su Lingxi's yard."

Ling Youyao looked at her gratefully: "Xiao Xiao, thank you."

"It should be me thanking you," Mu Xiaoxiao patted her hand with a smile, "If it weren't for you and the prince, I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you in peace. Don't worry, I will help you found a clue."

"Okay," Ling Youyao bent her lips, and warned again, "Although Su Lingxi has already left, you still need to be careful when you are alone in Su's house."

"I know."

The sun was setting and the afterglow of the sky was gathering its sharpness, but there was still a trace of residual heat in the air.

After parting with Mu Xiaoxiao, Ling Youyao returned to the palace with worries.Walking to the gate of the main courtyard, he saw Fu Mingjue sitting under a lush peach tree with a basket of peaches by his hand.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fu Mingjue got up and walked towards her, held her hand habitually, and said, "If you don't come back again, this king will go out to find someone in person."

Ling Youyao was amused by his words: "I just went to see Xiaoxiao, so I came back late."

"Mu Xiaoxiao is at Su's house, and if she wants to investigate Su Lingxi, it's really a good way to ask her to help." He seemed to have expected everything a long time ago, and was not surprised.

"I hope the Su family can have what I want."

Although I asked Mu Xiaoxiao, Ling Youyao didn't have great expectations to find the clues. After all, it's been so long, how could Su Lingxi keep the clues for others to find out?

Fu Mingjue: "If not, just pull him out and interrogate him."

"I can't use lynching." Although Ling Youyao said so, she silently remembered this matter in her heart.

"Just asking, who said that the punishment must be executed?" Fu Mingjue pulled her to sit down, picked up a peach and handed it to her, "I just picked it."

Ling Youyao took the peaches, subconsciously looked up, and saw that the trees were full of verdant green, with luxuriant branches and leaves dotted with pink fruits, which looked round and lovely in the dim twilight.Looking at the vibrant peach tree in front of her, she suddenly thought of the withered and desolate peach tree in Fuqing Garden, that tree used to bear fruit
Seeing her in a daze, Fu Mingjue hooked her waist, pulled her over, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Youyao said: "My sister also has a peach tree in her yard, but that tree has been dead for many years, and it won't bear fruit in the future."

"Maybe it's just in case?"

Ling Youyao looked up at him, but saw a little tenderness in his eyes, he said: "When the father gave this house to the king, the peach tree was dry for a long time, and then the king gave it to it every day. Water it and it will come back to life the next year."

King Jing's Mansion was originally the old residence of a great general in the previous dynasty. After the fall of the previous dynasty, the place has been vacant.It was not until the first emperor bestowed this mansion on to Fu Mingjue that the place regained its prosperity and vitality.

On the first day Fu Mingjue arrived here, he took a fancy to this peach tree in the courtyard.

It was hard for Ling Youyao to imagine that Fu Mingjue would be so patient to water the peach tree every day, so she asked: "Since it was dead at that time, why didn't you plant another one?"

Fu Mingjue said with a half-smile, "I don't like to eat peaches, so why plant peach trees?"

"Then you still water it every day?" Ling Youyao asked the bottom line as if breaking the casserole.

"I originally wanted someone to cut it off, but later I thought it would be good to keep it as a sword stake. But when I went to the Chongwen Museum that day, I saw you squatting under a peach tree picking petals. When I came back, I decided to give it to you." It's watered."

Ling Youyao frowned and thought for a while, before holding back a sentence: "How old was that, why don't I remember?"

Fu Mingjue hooked her hair, with a smile in his eyes: "About seven years old, I can't remember clearly."

"When I was seven years old." Ling Youyao was thinking silently in her heart, and suddenly said in surprise, "You were already 14 years old then?"

"Ah."

Ling Youyao whispered: "Other princes had concubines when they were 14 years old, and you actually like a seven-year-old girl?"

"." Fu Mingjue's face darkened, he pinched her waist, and his tone was domineering and unreasonable, "As long as I like it, even if you are three years old, I will still wait for you."

Ling Youyao raised her face and smiled without fear of death: "Then when I grow up, you will be old. I don't want to provide for you as soon as I get married."

Fu Mingjue lightly pecked her lips, and said, "I don't need you to support me, I just want you to be by my side."

She stretched her arms around his neck, her eyes sparkling: "Then I will always be with you."

"Don't go back on your word." Fu Mingjue grabbed her hand, as if persistently trying to trap her by his side.

Looking at his frosty jade-like face, Ling Youyao's eyes were a little dazed, a smile gradually appeared on her lips, and she leaned on his shoulder and said, "Okay, I don't regret it."

The corners of Fu Mingjue's lips raised slightly, and he suddenly picked her up.The body suddenly flew into the air, and Ling Youyao was startled: "What are you doing?"

"It's getting dark, go in and talk."

Ling Youyao always felt weird when she heard this, but she couldn't put it into words. She didn't wake up until someone used the hot weather as an excuse to take her off.
Happy New Year everyone~
