Xiao Qiming saw that they looked lost, not only did not sympathize, but took the opportunity to fall into the trap.

"Do you know who the man who was standing with my sister just now? He is the current Prince. If you let him know what you have done, think about it for yourself, what will happen?"

Wu Yao and Lu Tianyi's eyes darkened and they almost passed out.

Xiao Qiming sneered: "You just wash your necks and wait to die!"

Wu Yao and Lu Tianyi's mentality completely collapsed.

They rushed up, hugged Xiao Qiming's arms and neck, and began to cry desperately.

"Brother! You are our big brother now! Big brother save us, we were wrong, we dare not!"

Xue Shi and Xiao Zhilan were ordering food, and when they heard this, they raised their heads and looked at them.

Xue shi frowned and said, "Be quiet, don't disturb other people's meals."

Wu Yao and Lu Tianyi had to lower their voices and continued to beg Xiao Qiming bitterly.

Xiao Qiming was unmoved.

Hmph, how dare you molest his sister, you can't scare these two little bastards to death!

After ordering, Mrs Xue began to teach her son a lesson.

"I don't care what you think in your heart. In the future, you have to be respectful to your sister. She is now the prince's favorite concubine. If you are disrespectful to her, be careful to make the prince dissatisfied with you."

Xiao Qiming snorted and didn't answer, with an arrogant look of "whom he loves".

Xue Shi was so angry that he grabbed him and trained for a long time.

Wu Yao and Lu Tianyi, who were sitting next to them, were extremely frightened.

They actually molested the prince's favorite concubine!

Will the prince kill the two of them in a fit of anger?

The more I think, the more afraid.

Xiao Zhilan poured a cup of tea for each of them.

She noticed the difference between Wu Yao and Lu Tianyi, and asked curiously, "What's the matter with the two of you? Why are you looking so ugly?"

Lu Tianyi asked cautiously, "How is your relationship with your sister?"

Xiao Zhilan: "It's okay."

"Then can you help us talk to your sister?"

Xiao Zhilan immediately became vigilant: "What are you talking about? What bad things did you do?"

Before Lu Tianyi could speak again, Xiao Qiming spoke first.

"Sister, don't pay attention to them, they are doing it for themselves."

Xiao Zhilan replied obediently, "Oh."

Lu Tianyi and Wu Yao looked at Xiao Qiming with sad and angry eyes.

"Are you still a brother? You can't help us if you die, and don't let your sister help us!"

Xiao Qiming sneered and sent them two words——

"Deserved!"

...

In another private room.

Xiao Xixi is eating food.

The fast food here really lives up to its reputation!

Although it's all vegetarian, it's just as delicious as meat dishes. It's absolutely amazing!

Xiao Xixi ate four bowls of rice in one go, and felt that her stomach was full, so she slowed down her meal and began to chew slowly.

She found that the prince sitting opposite hadn't even finished a bowl of rice, so she couldn't help asking.

"Why does Your Highness eat so little? Is the food unpalatable?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "No, Gu is just thinking about something."

Xiao Xixi blinked, with a curious look on her face.

Luo Qinghan: "Just now the abbot gave Gu something."

He took out a small bag from his sleeve.

This is a brown bag with white pear flowers embroidered on it, which looks quite elegant.

Xiao Xixi was surprised: "I didn't see the abbot give you this thing just now."

Luo Qinghan: "When you went to the toilet, the abbot gave this thing to the orphan."

Xiao Xixi understood.

It seems that the old abbot did not want others to know about such a thing, so he deliberately avoided her and quietly gave this tip to the prince.

Unexpectedly, the prince turned his head and took out the kit and put it in front of Xiao Xixi.

Xiao Xixi picked up the kit and took out a small and delicate brass key.

At the end of the key, there is also a circular pattern engraved.

Xiao Xixi looked around, but didn't see any clues.

"This is the key to what?"

Luo Qinghan said slowly: "I don't know, but the abbot said that this kit is the relic of the mother-in-law. The abbot had a little friendship with the mother-in-law before, and the mother-in-law asked him to keep the kit. Later, the mother-in-law passed away. The kit has always been placed with the abbot, and he even forgot about it. It wasn't until he accidentally found the kit while cleaning the meditation room this year that he remembered that there was such a thing."

Xiao Xixi: "Since it's a relic left by Shen Zhaoyi, then you can keep it well. Even if you can't open the lock, at least you can think about it."

Luo Qinghan: "The key point is not the key, but the pattern on the key. Do you remember Niu Hong?"

Xiao Xixi nodded: "Remember, he is Dong Shangshu's cousin. He wrote a letter to Dong Shang before and almost killed Dong Shangshu."

"It's that letter. There is a seal pattern in the letter, and the pattern is exactly the same as the pattern on this key. I used to think this pattern was familiar, but now I remember it, I saw my mother and concubine wearing it when I was a child. I have seen jade pendants with similar patterns."

Xiao Xixi quickly reacted: "You mean, Niu Hong has something to do with Shen Zhaoyi?"

After she finished speaking, she thought it sounded strange again.

She hurriedly added: "Does the concubine want to ask whether the case that Niu Hong is investigating has anything to do with Shen Zhaoyi?"

"Gu also has this suspicion, but unfortunately Niu Hong is dead and the clues are broken. Gu has sent someone to Qiluo County to see if they can find some other clues."

Xiao Xixi was quite surprised: "Niu Hong is dead? How did he die?"

Luo Qinghan briefly explained the cause of Niu Hong's death, and finally said: "Niu Hong's death is too coincidental, there must be something strange here."

Xiao Xixi put the key into the bag, and then returned the bag to him.

Luo Qinghan said: "This kit is put there first, and when Gu needs it, you can give it to Gu."

Xiao Xixi was stunned.

This key should be very important to the prince, how could he put the key to her with confidence?

Isn't he afraid that she will lose the key?

Seemingly seeing her doubts, Luo Qinghan explained: "Gu's identity is too sensitive, many people are staring at Gu, it's not safe to put this thing in Gu, it's better for you to keep it for you."

Having said that, he deliberately added another sentence.

"In the entire palace, I only trust you."

Xiao Xixi was a little moved, and couldn't help smirking: "My concubine will not betray your trust."

She carefully stuffed the kit into her inner pocket.

Luo Qinghan suddenly said again.

"Gu intends to send the ashes of the mother and concubine back to their homeland for a good burial."

Xiao Xixi looked up at him, wondering why he suddenly had such an idea?

Luo Qinghan explained slowly.

"Actually, Gu has had this idea for a long time. Although Shengguang Temple is not bad, it is not as good as falling leaves. In addition to the case of Niu Hongcha, Gu felt that the death of the mother-in-law might be strange, and Gu wanted to take this opportunity. , go back to Chenliu County to check the past."
