"Apart from this matter, is there anything else?" Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and asked.

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Your Highness should know about the other news, but I heard that Xu Yurong would go back to her parents' home once a month. I don't know if she really went back to her parents' home."

"Yang Jin is already investigating, and there is one thing you may not know yet. I am afraid there is another story about Xu Yurong and Su Xuebao's marriage."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "What does your Highness mean?"

"There is no conclusive evidence yet, but it is said that the two never consummated their marriage after getting married, but lived in separate rooms. The news obtained from the people of the Shu family is that the two had an unhappy wedding night, and Shu Xuebao went to the study that night, so the couple's bad relationship led to living separately. However, Yang Jin has been keeping an eye on this matter these days. He thinks there should be other reasons for this matter, but it has not been investigated yet."

Su Xinyi was stunned. Why is this... so much like the situation between him and Shang Junyan in his previous life?

"Is there no progress at Daling Temple?" Su Xinyi suppressed the strangeness in her heart and asked.

"It has been basically found out that Daling Temple once expelled a monk, who was the junior brother of the abbot. It was he who set up the matter of Fuqi, and used the guise of Daling Temple to cheat people everywhere. The sand in the sand table is smoked with special medicinal materials, and it is easy to make people hallucinate after smelling it for a long time. In addition, there are magnets hidden under the sand table, which can control the direction of the iron needle. The answer that the person who wants to use the Fuqi can actually be controlled."

Su Xinyi was really eye-opening, "Can it be done like this? It's really unexpected. No wonder Princess Runyi insisted on jumping off the building that day. Did she have hallucinations?"

"It should be about the same." Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi frowned and said nothing, "Your Highness probably doesn't know yet, Princess Runyi has been possessed by evil spirits again, almost like crazy."

Yan Junchu obviously didn't know the news yet, "When did it happen?"

Su Xinyi simply told the story of following Prince Rong to the Prince Guangping's Mansion, and then heard the prince say to her: "You are quick to run away from Prince Rong's affairs."

Su Xinyi:...

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's expression and chuckled, "So you asked Su Yi to find out who Princess Runyi had seen before and became crazy?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Cao Qing and Mu Xing are all in Yulin Guard, only Zhan Qiao is with me, and he is a familiar face, so it's not easy to do these things. Your Highness, do you still need Wu Shun here? If you don't need him for the time being, why not let him go back and run errands for me?"

If Su Xinyi really didn't have anyone else to use and was embarrassed to ask her grandfather for more people, she wouldn't have the audacity to ask the prince for people.

"Short of people?"

Su Xinyi nodded embarrassedly.

Yan Junchu smiled, "Okay, I'll ask him to find you tomorrow. He can be of use now."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Xinyi didn't pay attention to the last sentence, she only heard that His Highness gave her the person. "Your Highness, what are you and Lord Yang doing here?"

"Catching someone." Yan Junchu looked at her, "It's the monk who was expelled from Daling Temple. He got the news of the ambush the night before yesterday and ran away."

"West Market is a very good hiding place. There are many merchants here, and there are countless residents in the surrounding market. Moreover, the people who come and go are mixed. Even Wucheng Bingmasi may not be able to check them clearly."

It was noon at this time. There were fewer pedestrians on the street. They either went home to eat or found a street restaurant to stay. The air was full of the aroma of food.

The two of them ate slowly. Su Xinyi was thinking about something. She was still thinking about the Shu family. The situation of the Shu family was very strange. They didn't live in the East Market but in the West Market. They accepted gifts from merchants for their son's marriage. This was really ugly.

Even if the gift money is very generous, does the Shu family really not care about their reputation at all, and are not afraid of causing trouble for the queen in the palace?

Su Xinyi just couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, the door was knocked. Su Xinyi was disturbed by the sound and retracted her thoughts, and then she heard Yan Junchu say: "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, making a slight creaking sound. Su Xinyi, who was eating with her head down, heard a familiar voice coming, "Your Highness, the whereabouts of the monk have been found. He is in Chongxianfang. The entire Chongxianfang has been checked house by house. Only the Shu family refused to cooperate. Their attitude is very arrogant and they keep talking about the queen in the palace. I dare not offend you, so I can only ask your Highness to make a decision."

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan in astonishment, and then at the prince. She knew that Shang Junyan was moved to another place by the prince, but wasn't this place wrong?

Didn't he say that he went to the Ministry of Revenue to manage money and grain?

"Where is Yang Jin?"

"Lord Yang is guarding outside the Shu family. Now the front and back streets of the Shu family have been cordoned off, waiting for His Highness's order." Shang Junyan lowered his head as if he didn't see Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi suppressed her surprise, and didn't interrupt His Highness the Crown Prince, sitting there quietly.

At this time, she couldn't care about Shang Junyan. She was a little surprised that the monk had fled to Chongxianfang, and seemed to have some relationship with the Shu family.

"I, go and see for yourself." Yan Junchu stood up, then looked at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi thought, if the monk was very powerful, what if he hurt His Highness?

"Your Highness, can I go with you?"

Shang Junyan couldn't help but slightly raised his head and glanced at Su Xinyi, then lowered his head again.

It's different now. She has been engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince, and she is not someone he can easily look at.

Yan Junchu seemed not to notice Shang Junyan's little move, and turned to look at Su Xinyi, "You can go if you want, you can do whatever you want."

Su Xinyi curved her eyebrows and smiled and said, "Nothing else, my kung fu can still help His Highness."

Yan Junchu nodded, "That's right, let's go and see together."

Several people walked towards Chongxianfang. Yang Jin was not there. Su Xinyi was dressed in men's clothes at this time, so she didn't deliberately avoid suspicion and followed the prince half a step away from him.

Shang Junyan followed behind the two people, looking at their figures. He didn't know what was going on, so he didn't want to look, so he turned his eyes away.

All the way through Yankangfang to Chongxianfang, you can see the guards of the East Palace in armor standing straight, standing on both sides of the street with murderous intent from a distance. When they saw His Highness the Crown Prince, they immediately shouted in unison: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yan Junchu passed through the guards and saw Yang Jin standing in front of the Shu family.

The door of the Shu family was closed. Yang Jin was furious. When he saw His Highness coming, he immediately came over and saluted, "Your Highness, I greet you."

"Yes." Yang Jin turned around and walked away after receiving the order. He stepped onto the steps and knocked hard on the door of the Shu family.

"Didn't I tell you that we don't have the person you are looking for in the Shu family? If you dare to keep talking nonsense, be careful that we will not be polite."

Su Xinyi thought that it was no wonder that Yang Jin's face was so ugly. The doorman of the Shu family was really arrogant.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, why don't you open the door quickly." Yang Jin said loudly.

Su Xinyi heard that there seemed to be a panic inside the door for a moment, and soon the door was opened. Several doormen rolled out and bowed to the Crown Prince when they saw him, "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yan Junchu didn't even look at them. He stood with his hands behind his back. The air around him suddenly became quiet. Su Xinyi felt that the atmosphere instantly became stagnant and tense.

Soon, there were chaotic footsteps coming from the door. Shu Xuebo came out with his father. As expected, he saw that the prince and his son both looked unhappy.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince." Shu's father came forward with his son to pay his respects.

This was the first time Su Xinyi met Shu Xuebo's father, the brother of the Queen and the Princess of Guangping. She saw that he was elegant and gentle, and his gestures were full of the bookish air of a scholar, which surprised her.

Shu Xuebo had a greasy face and frivolous manners. Unexpectedly, Shu's father was completely different from his son, and it was difficult for people to feel disgusted.

It was just that Su Xinyi had known the character of this family in her previous life, so her expression was indifferent, and there was nothing strange.

This man looked elegant and gentle, but how could he be considered a loyal family to raise a son like Shu Xuebo and allow him to plot against Gao Yihua to marry her into the family.

Not to mention, Shu's father also had two sisters like the Princess of Guangping and the Queen.

As long as she thought of Gao Yihua's depressed and sick appearance after getting married, she looked at the Shu family with more disgust. The more she looked at them, the more unhappy memories would be awakened, so she turned her head away from them.

Shang Junyan stood behind Su Xinyi and took in the expression on her face. He couldn't help thinking of the things in his previous life. His heart tightened and he lowered his head.

Some things can't be thought of anymore. The more you think about it, the more you feel that you are not a human.

Yan Junchu looked at the Shu family, "I have investigated the case so far. Every household in Chongxianfang must be searched. Lord Shu, official business is important, don't you think?"

"Your Highness is right. How dare I delay your Highness's important event, but your Highness, our Shu family really doesn't have anyone hidden by me. Please believe me. After all, I dare not do anything that will bring disgrace to the reputation of the Queen." Lord Shu spoke with a frank and sincere face, and people felt that what he said was true even if they didn't look at him.

"Since Lord Shu said so, I naturally believe it. It's just that the police officers pay attention to evidence when handling cases. It's just a walk in, so Lord Shu will not refuse." Yan Junchu said.

Although the prince's voice was clear and soft, it was irresistible.

Shu's father's face froze slightly. Seeing that his son was about to speak, he gently pulled him and said with a smile: "Your Highness is right, please."

Yan Junchu nodded and led people to step on the steps and walk in.

Shu's father immediately accompanied him, and Shu Xuebo led the way in front. He didn't pay any attention to the people behind the prince. He didn't even notice that Su Xinyi and Shang Junyan were following behind the prince.

The two followed the prince into the mansion, and Yang Jin followed with his people. The group was quite spectacular.

Yan Junchu looked at Yang Jin, "Try to be careful when searching, and don't bump into the women."

Su Xinyi looked at the posture of Shu Xuebo and his son, and sneered in his heart. It was a joke to pretend to be a tiger and draw a dog instead of a tiger.

When the Shu family had a queen, the emperor named the queen's father as Duke Cheng'en. However, Duke Cheng'en was not so lucky and died of illness after serving for a few years. When Shu's father was mourning for his father, he drank and had fun in private and was reported to the emperor. His Majesty was furious and took back the title of the duke. Even the queen's plea could not make His Majesty take back the order.

Even if Shu's father later defended himself by saying that he was just tricked by others, who would believe him without evidence? Anyway, the emperor did not intend to give him the title, nor did he give him any other respect. Shu's father's current official position was obtained by the Guangping County King with a thick face.

Yan Junchu walked for a while, stood in front of the second gate, looked at Shu's father and said, "Sir Shu, I was ordered to investigate the case today. Time is urgent. In order to save time, you should let the women in the family gather together to facilitate Yang Jin's search and avoid accidental collisions."

Shu's father immediately said, "Your Highness is right." Then he looked at his son, "Go tell your mother and call everyone together quickly."

Shu Xuebo pursed his lips and turned away with anger.

The Shu family is simple. Shu's father's two sisters are married, and they live here. Now Shu Xuebo has married a wife and there is one more room. Even so, there are not many people, and they will soon gather together.

Soon, Mrs. Shu brought her daughter, daughter-in-law and concubines to come over. Su Xinyi stood behind the prince. With the prince covering her, she saw Xu Yurong at a glance.

She looked gloomy, pale, and stared at the ground. She suddenly raised her head and met Su Xinyi's gaze. The moment she saw Su Xinyi, her expression suddenly froze.

Su Xinyi felt a little strange. Why did Xu Yurong become so abnormal when she saw her? Then she found that Xu Yurong's face was not only stiff, but also her body was a little stiff, and she seemed to move slightly.

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, and at this moment, she heard Xu Yurong's voice saying sharply: "It's really unexpected. I didn't expect to see the Princess of Yong'an here."

As soon as the words Princess of Yong'an came out, Shu Xuebo immediately turned his head and looked over. Sure enough, he saw someone behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At this time, Yan Junchu's wide-sleeved robe flicked slightly, his eyes swept across the Shu family, and he said calmly, "The Princess of Yong'an is very powerful. What's wrong with asking her to help investigate the case?"

Don't say others, even Su Xinyi was shocked. Can you do this?

In an instant, she put on a public hat. Don't say that this feels good. She likes to see Xu Yurong's incompetent and angry look.

"Your Highness, Princess Yong'an is a woman after all, and she will be the Crown Princess in the future. How can she show up in public and go in and out with a group of men to handle cases? It's really not appropriate." Shu's father frowned and said with a righteous face, obviously very unhappy about this matter.

"My Crown Princess is naturally different from ordinary women. When Taizu conquered the world, Taizu's empress accompanied him and went in and out with him. She was no less than men in the battle. Heroines are nothing more than this. I hope that the Crown Princess can follow the courage of her ancestors and use her skills to protect the country and the people. I also hope that the Crown Princess can sing with me and her husband, like a phoenix flying together, so as not to disappoint my father's good intention of marrying her." Yan Junchu looked at everyone and said in a stern voice.
