"Can the assassin be caught?"
"I originally caught one, but... committed suicide by taking poison."
Chu Mu was silent for a while, then turned to look at Ruan Tang.
"I may need to go take a look."
"Go, I just have something to go back to the other courtyard." Ruan Tang patted his shoulder and spoke generously.
But Chu Mu's face didn't look very good.
"Are you so relieved to let me find her?"
A few days ago, she made unusual moves towards him because of Cheng Yiliu, such as taking the initiative to kiss him and questioning him.
He defined those as jealousy.
He was very happy. Although he asked her if she had decided to stay with him, she did not answer directly.
But every move she made during this period proved that she agreed.
Now he is going to find Cheng Yiliu, why isn't she worried?
"What's there to worry about? She can't snatch you away anyway. Besides, isn't it said that she was seriously injured? As the prince of Zhou Dynasty, no matter how you are a commoner, when you go to the capital city and the emperor's feet are injured, you You should go and take a look."
"Besides, her father still has a life-saving grace for His Highness. Even if it is only based on this point, His Highness should take a look."
After listening to Ruan Tang's explanation, Chu Mu felt a little better.
"Then you'd better not go back to the other courtyard. Just stay here. I will be back soon. If you are bored, I will send someone to the other courtyard to call Tana to accompany you."
Cheng Yiliu's matter is not simple. It is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while. Even if he comes back, he may not have time to go to the other courtyard to find her today.
But he wanted to see her as soon as he got home.
"That would be too much trouble, I might as well go back." Ruan Tang refused.
However, Chu Mu suddenly hugged her and said in her ear: "I want to see you as soon as I return to the house. Can I stay for one more day?"
As he spoke, he nuzzled her neck.
Ruan Tang smiled helplessly, she really couldn't resist such a coquettish little puppy.
I had no choice but to agree: "Okay then, I'll go to your study to write a storybook."
She originally wanted to go back and draw the decoration drawings for her shop, but now she can only draw them here.
Chu Mu left quickly, and Ruan Tang went directly to his study.
Not long after, Tana came.
Ruan Tang thought Chu Mu was just talking, but he didn't expect to actually call Tana.
Tana also brought the Snow Jade Beast.
This guy, since the last time she was plotted by Fang Huairou and was injured by the man in black in order to save her, although Ling Qing healed his injury later, he is not as active as before and has to eat enough every day. Go to sleep when you are awake, and eat when you wake up.
Ruan Tang was worried, fearing that it might have some internal injuries that were not healed.
But Ling Qing checked it many times and was sure that it had no internal injuries.
Ling Qing guessed that it might have lost its vitality and needed more rest to replenish it.
Therefore, Ruan Tang almost always lets him stay by Ling Qing's side recently.
Occasionally, I will go with Tana, because Tana also knows some medical skills.
As soon as the Snow Jade Beast saw Ruan Tang, he broke away from Tana's arms and jumped into her arms.
"How did you bring it?" Ruan Tang lowered his head and stroked the furry hair of the Snow Jade Beast and asked Tana.
"I see that it is in much better spirits recently. I think its energy has almost recovered, so I will bring it out for some air and bring it over to relieve your boredom."
Following Tana's words, the Snow Jade Beast also growled lowly, seeming to agree with Tana.
Ruan Tang scratched its big head and then asked Tana to walk to the coffee table and sit down.
After Tana sat down, she couldn't help but look around.
"I didn't expect His Highness's study to be very luxurious."
Ruan Tang also followed her gaze and looked around.
"He really keeps a low profile here."
Even his entire palace, apart from being large, seemed to have no particularly luxurious decorations.
At least in her opinion, a powerful and wealthy person like him must have some top-notch ornamental items at home.
But most of the things he has here are practical.
He is the kind of person who is not stingy at all in spending money that should be spent, and does not waste any money that should not be spent.
"His Highness is really kind to you. When he gives you money, he is not ambiguous at all."
Chu Mu had previously taken all his cash to the other courtyard to make Ruan Tang happy. Everyone in the other courtyard knew about this.
Compared to the decoration of his palace, he is indeed not stingy with himself at all.
"Well, he did really well in this regard. He is an example that all men should learn from." Ruan Tang praised Chu Mu, with a look of pride on his face unconsciously.
Tana couldn't help but scratch her a few times, and the two of them laughed and rolled onto the soft cushions nearby.
——
When Chu Mu arrived at Yunlai Inn, Nanfeng had already sent people to surround the entire inn.
Most of the guests living inside were scared away because of the assassination of Cheng Yiliu by the man in black.
Nanfeng brought Cheng Yiliu back from the northwest and arranged to live here. Chu Mu deliberately did not send anyone to guard here and did not restrict Cheng Yiliu's movements.
The purpose is to know where Cheng Yiliu's treasure map came from? Where is she hiding now?
Is there anyone behind her who is cooperating with her?
But before these people could find out, the assassin came to the door.
The person who wanted the treasure map, besides himself, was Shen Qianyi and the people behind him.
He had long guessed that Shen Qianyi and the people behind him would not settle down. Those who did not get this picture in Cheng Yiliu's hands in the northwest would definitely chase them to the capital.
But he didn't expect that they would do it so quickly, under his nose, in public, in broad daylight.
The extent of this rampantness was something he had never expected.
If his people hadn't been keeping watch in the dark, I'm afraid Cheng Yiliu wouldn't have been able to escape today.
Chu Mu took Nanfeng directly to the room where Cheng Yiliu lived. At this moment, a doctor had been invited to diagnose her pulse.
"How are you?" After the doctor finished reading, Chu Mu asked.
"Back to Your Highness, except for a few serious injuries on this girl's body, everything else is not serious. Apply the medicine on time and take the medicine, and the wound will be healed in a few days."
Chu Mu nodded and asked him to go down and prescribe medicine.
After the doctor exited, Cheng Yiliu, who was lying on the bed, sat up from the bed with difficulty and looked at Chu Mu with tearful eyes.
"Your Highness..." Her voice was filled with endless grievances and fears.
However, her pitiful appearance could not arouse any pity from Chu Mu.
He looked at her with cold eyes and said, "The doctor has said that your condition is not serious. Just rest and take medicine on time and you will be cured."
When Chu Mu heard Nanfeng say that she was seriously injured, she thought it was a life-threatening injury, but she never thought that it was just a few scratches.
Although the wound may be quite deep, to him, it is not a serious injury.
After Chu Mu finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
But Cheng Yiliu has not achieved his goal, how can he let him leave so easily?
"Your Highness, it is no longer safe here. I can no longer live here."
Chu Mu stopped, frowned, and turned to look at her again, "Don't you want to live here? Where do you want to live, Miss Cheng?"
Cheng Yiliu looked at her indifferent eyebrows and felt unwilling to do so, "I know that His Highness does not want me to live in your residence, but now, in the entire Shangjing City, I am afraid that only His Highness's residence is the safest."
"Those people want to kill me. Even if I change to another inn, they will still kill me. But if it is in His Highness's house, they will definitely not dare to break in."
If Chu Mu only doubted Shen Qianyi at the beginning, now he had to doubt Cheng Yiliu.
It all seemed like she was a victim, but the place where it all happened was full of loopholes.
If Shen Qianyi and the people behind him wanted to assassinate Cheng Yiliu and get the treasure map, they would not do it in broad daylight when there are so many people on the street.
Moreover, their goal is to hunt for a treasure map, and they will definitely not stop until they get it. Even if they don't kill Cheng Yiliu, they will arrest her and interrogate her about the whereabouts of the treasure map.
It would definitely not be just a few cuts on her.
And it’s still such a light knife.
Chu Mu chuckled and got straight to the point, "Your wishful thinking is quite loud. Who knows, did you find these assassins yourself and direct and act them yourself?"
Cheng Yiliu was startled, stumbled off the bed and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness Mingjian, how can Liu'er be so capable?"
