After lunch, Gu Qian'er went back to Moyin Pavilion to rest as usual, while Yu Huaijin turned around and went back to the study.

After thinking about it, Cheng Qi still told Yu Huaijin the doubts in his heart.

After Yu Huaijin finished listening, she didn't show any surprise, she just said indifferently: "Qian'er used to be alone, if she didn't have any skills, how could she survive?"

Cheng Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then quickly realized.

After understanding the meaning of Yu Huaijin's words, Cheng Qi immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, "This subordinate speaks falsely about the princess, please master punish me."

At the same time, I feel very ashamed.

In that cannibalistic harem, if she couldn't learn how to read words, how could the princess survive.

What kind of scheming is this? It is clearly a last resort to save life.

Seeing that Cheng Qi already understood in his heart, Yu Huaijin did not punish him, after all, Cheng Qi was also for the Xiangfu.

After letting people get up, Yu Huaijin said again: "There is no need to mention this matter in the future, especially in front of the princess."

"Yes."

Cheng Qi agreed seriously, even if the master didn't say anything, he would never tell the princess about it.

"Go out."

After such a big misunderstanding, Cheng Qi didn't say much, and quickly bowed out.

After closing the study door, Cheng Qi stood outside, patted his face, and warned himself in his heart.

The princess was born in the royal family, she is a golden branch and jade leaf, with a gentle temperament and simple kindness. Don't look at the princess with the eyes of assassins.

This is nothing short of insulting to the princess! ——
Gu Qian'er didn't know what happened in the study.

As usual, go to the study to study with Yu Huaijin.

After a day of schoolwork, the two went to the dining room for dinner together.

At the dinner table, Yu Huaijin called out first, "Qian'er."

"Ok?"

Seeing someone raised his head, Yu Huaijin continued: "The imperial examination is coming soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of your homework during this time, so Qian'er can rest for a few days."

The scientific examination is a major event, and it can even be said to be related to the future of the court. Gu Qian'er nodded, "I know, the teacher is busy with his own affairs, and I will be obedient."

Of course Yu Huaijin knew that Gu Qianer was a well-behaved and sensible person, but when she heard Gu Qianer's words, she still felt very ironic.

Sure enough, on the second day after speaking, Yu Huaijin got busy and didn't return to the Prime Minister's mansion all morning.

Gu Qian'er also stayed in her room obediently as she said, and didn't go anywhere.

Xiaoxi at the side couldn't wait any longer.

In the past, the princess had to study with the prime minister, and she didn't feel bored with the princess every day. Now that she was suddenly free, thinking of the time when she went out with the princess before, she felt a little restless in her heart.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoxi suggested softly: "Princess, you don't have any homework these two days, why don't we go out for a walk."

"No," Gu Qian'er refused without thinking, "You forgot, the trouble you caused when you went out last time."

"And I promised the teacher before that I would stay in the mansion obediently. Now that the teacher is busy, I can't make any more trouble."

Hearing this, Xiaoxi also remembered what happened when he went out last time, so he stopped thinking and didn't say anything more.

The room was quiet again.

After about a stick of incense, Gu Qian'er raised her head and glanced at Xiaoxi next to her while she was flipping through the book.

Finding that she doesn't look very interested, you know what she's thinking.

Gu Qian'er felt helpless, sighed slightly, put the book aside, and said, "Xiaoxi, I suddenly want to eat the fresh meat shortbread we bought outside last time, go and buy some for me."

"Princess wants to eat pancakes?" Xiaoxi suddenly regained her spirits, "The servant girl will go out and buy it now!"

But he quickly reacted and changed his words: "Let others buy it."

If she goes out, who will serve the princess by her side.

As if understanding Xiao Xi's worries, Gu Qian'er shook her head, "It's better for you to go, just go and come back quickly."

"Then... that servant is going?"

"En." Gu Qian'er nodded, and then called Si Jiu in from outside, and asked him to go out with Xiao Xi.

Before leaving, Xiaoxi swore, "Princess, the servant will be back soon."

Gu Qian'er responded with a smile, "Okay, then I'll wait."

As a result, I waited until evening.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Xiaoxi returned to Xiangfu with her things.

Seeing the person coming back, Gu Qian'er originally wanted to make a joke, but found that Xiaoxi's expression was a little off.

Then he looked at Si Jiu who was going out with Xiao Xi, "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Si Jiu naturally didn't hide anything, "Princess, do you still remember the gangsters you met when you went out that day?"

Gu Qianer nodded, "Remember, what's wrong?"

"I heard that they disappeared that night. Someone found their bodies in the river outside the city early this morning."

"They died? Were they killed?" Gu Qian'er was a little surprised.

Si Jiu originally thought that since the princess grew up in the palace, she might have never encountered such a bloody thing, so it is better not to say too much, so as not to make the princess afraid.

But I didn't expect that Gu Qian'er was just a little surprised, and didn't mean to be afraid at all. Instead of being afraid, she even asked about it.

Seeing this situation, Si Jiu didn't hide anything, and told the truth of what he knew——

"Yes, and the perpetrators were very cruel. Those people were tied hands and feet, gouged out their eyes, cut off their tongues, and when they were still alive, they were thrown into the river and drowned."

"It wasn't until the body was swollen by the river water that it floated to the surface of the river again and was discovered."

Gu Qian'er was even more shocked when she heard the words, "Who is so bold! Does anyone dare to be so unscrupulous at the foot of the emperor in the capital city?"

Si Jiu heard the words and said: "Princess, don't worry, the government has accepted the case and is doing its best to track down the murderer."

Gu Qian'er nodded, "That's good, even if so many lives were injured, the people will feel more at ease if they are arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Gu Qian'er looked at Xiaoxi who was at the side again, and found that she was a little out of order, and she must have been frightened when she heard such a thing.

Gu Qian'er reached out and patted the person, and when the person came back to his senses, he said, "Xiaoxi, go down and rest for a while, and come back at night."

Hearing this, Xiao Xi didn't refuse. After all, her current state was really not suitable for serving the princess, so she put down the snack in her hand, said the servant girl to leave, and turned to go out.

After they left, Si Qi and Si Jiu also walked outside the door and continued to stand guard.

Sitting alone in the room, Gu Qian'er stretched out her hand to move the snack in front of her, and slowly opened it.

Then I picked up a piece of shortbread and took a bite. The crust was crispy, and the minced meat inside was delicate and juicy. It tasted full of saltiness in my mouth.

After eating the last bite, Gu Qian'er took out the handkerchief, wiped off the oil on her hands, and suddenly chuckled, "It's a good job, I want a reward."
