Xiao Jingyun also understood very well that the princess was careless and could not have noticed that Xiao Dezi had not been seen for many days. There must be other reasons.
Thinking again of what the princess said, his master found a shoe seller in Wannian City, so is there a possibility that there was a problem with this link, and the emperor also noticed it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyun changed his mind, but Zhou Quan might not be able to do it by himself, and he would have to do it himself, so as to calm both sides.
Of course, Xiao Jingyun still put a lot of thought into it before going to see Chen Xiaobei. He first came to Liu Xiangnan's house. If Liu Rumei comes forward, he will be more sure.
The Liu family still showed great respect for the prince's arrival. Liu Rumei and Liu Yuanwu welcomed him to the door of the house.
After meeting. He politely let Xiao Jingyun into the living room and ordered tea to be prepared. As the head of the family, Liu Yuanwen clasped his fists and saluted, "I don't know what orders His Highness the Crown Prince has when he comes here."
Xiao Jingyun took a sip of water, looked at Liu Yuanwen, and then at Liu Rumei, "Although I tried to persuade my father about Liu Aiqing's matter, it ended up like this in the end. I feel very uneasy."
In response to Xiao Jingyun's words, Liu Yuanwen naturally had no other words to say other than expressing gratitude, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Without your help, my father would still be in Tianlao Prison, and my sister and I might not be able to sit in the prison." Talk to you here!”
Jamel Xiao waved his hand, then changed the topic and turned to look at Liu Rumei, "Rumei, do you have any thoughts about the matter between you and Chen Xiaobei?"
Liu Rumei shook her head and tried to force a smile on her face, "I don't have any idea to thank the emperor for worrying about my life-long affairs."
"When Huang Ying's mourning period comes, Brother Xiaobei will come to marry me."
The topic turned to Huang Ying, and the next step would be easy.
Xiao Jingyun's expression became solemn, "Huang Ying's coffin has been parked in the capital for some time. Should we go and persuade Chen Xiaobei to return to Hetou Village as soon as possible so that Huang Ying can rest in peace?"
Hearing this, Liu Rumei understood that the prince came here to drag her along as a lobbyist.
He soon understood that the prince actually said this, so Chen Xiaobei had to leave. If he stayed, he would be in even greater trouble.
But what she found strange was that as the prince, why did Jamel Xiao want to drag her along? The prince can speak openly and honestly.
Although she had doubts in her heart, Liu Rumei did not show it, but bowed and agreed, "In that case, I will accompany the Crown Prince for a walk, and also offer a stick of incense to Sister Huang Ying."
At this time, in the inn, Princess Zhaoning came in person to report the progress of the matter to her master, Master Lianhua.
"Master, I have ordered people to secretly inquire about Xiao Dezi's whereabouts. I also told my elder brother that he will help me keep an eye on him when he comes to the palace to pay his respects tomorrow morning."
After listening to her words, the Lotus Leader nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work, princess. Come with me and meet your master."
The leader of Lotus took Princess Zhaoning to the outside of Nanhai Shenni's room.
He reached out and knocked gently on the door.
The door opened with a creak, and Shen Ziyan showed her head and saw that it was the princess who was about to salute. Princess Zhaoning clapped her hands quickly, "Sister, please don't do this."
The Lotus Cult Leader also raised his hand to stop Shen Ziyan from continuing to salute, and said with a smile, "Okay, he is a junior, so you don't have to be so polite. I will bring him to meet the Master."
Shen Ziyan stepped aside, and the Lotus Leader brought Princess Zhaoning in.
After Princess Zhaoning came in, she took two steps forward, lifted up her clothes and was about to kneel down. The Nanhai Shenni sitting on the chair waved her hand, "Okay, how can a majestic princess of a country kneel down for a commoner like me? Since Zi Yan doesn’t salute you, you don’t have to salute me.”
Princess Zhaoning didn't force herself, she bowed slightly and said, "Jingfeng only obeys Master's instructions."
At this time, the leader of Lotus Hua said from the side, "Huang Ying's matter has made some progress. We have already started to search for the whereabouts of Xiao Dezi. If he is still missing, we will basically be able to find out."
Nanhai Shenni nodded, "Then please worry more about it, princess."
A few people were talking here when they heard a commotion outside, and then someone shouted, "His Royal Highness is here."
Hearing the shouts, everyone present had different expressions. A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Jingfeng's eyes, as well as a hint of nervousness. Nanhai Shenni obviously noticed the change in the princess's expression, and she glanced at Shen Ziyan.
"You go out and have a look on behalf of the teacher."
The implication was to let Master Lotus and Princess Zhaoning stay in her room.
Shen Ziyan agreed and walked out. At this time, Chen Xiaobei and others had finished greeting Xiao Jamyun.
Jia Jingyun stepped forward and respectfully placed three sticks of incense on Huang Ying's tablet.
Then Liu Rumei stepped forward and lit three sticks of incense.
After finishing his work, Jamel Xiao came to Chen Xiaobei and patted him on the shoulder.
Over there, Liu Rumei and Cui Hongyu hugged each other tightly, and the two began to cry silently again.
Chen Xiaobei made an invitation gesture, "Your Highness, please come and sit in the room for a while."
Jamel Xiao did not refuse and followed Chen Xiaobei to the room next to him.
After the two parties sat down, Xiao Jingyun first asked Chen Xiaobei if there was anything he needed urgently in life.
Chen Xiaobei quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine now."
Xiao Jingyun then changed the topic and got to the point, "I'm afraid the murderer won't be found out in three or two days. I don't think it's better to send Huang Ying's coffin back to Hetou Village first. When any clues are found here, I will send someone in time. I’ll inform you.”
Chen Xiaobei instantly understood what Jamel Xiao meant, and he seemed a little hesitant.
Yesterday they had discussed and the Nanhai Shenni also said that they would not leave until the matter came to light.
At this time, Liu Rumei, who was next to him, also said, "Yes, Brother Xiaobei has no choice but to wait like this. We should wait until there is news here before we rush over."
Cui Hongyu next to him also understood instantly. The two of them had discussed it and persuaded them to leave.
At this time, the door rang and Shen Ziyan walked in. After greeting Prince Xiao Jingyun and Liu Rumei, he stood next to Cui Hongyu.
When Chen Xiaobei saw Shen Ziyan coming, his thoughts moved and he said in a deep voice, "Zi Yan, you came just in time. His Highness the Prince came to discuss with us whether to send Huang Ying back to Hetou Village first. We will wait until there is news here." Come back again.”
Shen Ziyan was also very smart. She looked at Xiao Jingyun and then at Liu Rumei, and she understood instantly.
"In that case, then I will invite Master over and we will discuss it."
Shen Ziyan exited to Nanhai Shenni's room and explained the matter briefly.
Before Nanhai Shenni could speak, the leader of Lotus Hua suddenly burst into flames.
