Chapter 262: The Woman Who Lost Her Child (Part )
Su Liuyue couldn't help curling her lips and said, "Your Highness seems to be very leisurely, but it's a pity that we are out there, running around for cases.

However, we have made considerable progress. Would you like to hear it, Your Highness?"

Seeing her excited expression, Zhou Yunke raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Okay."

The two of them walked slowly towards the dining room, hand in hand.

There were many and complicated matters involved in the case, and Su Liuyue talked to Zhou Yunke while they were having dinner. They had just finished talking by the time they finished dinner.

Su Liuyue could only sigh secretly, fortunately Zhou Yunke didn't have so many rules, such as not talking while eating or sleeping.

Zhou Yunke had the dishes on the table removed and served two cups of hot tea. He stroked the cups with one hand and said thoughtfully, "You mean, the murderer is probably a woman who lost a boy of about eight or nine years old this year?"

"Correct."

Su Liuyue nodded.

Zhou Yunke was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "When you say that, it reminds me of someone."

Su Liuyue was about to pick up the cup to drink tea when she suddenly stopped and stared at him and asked, "Who is it?"

When it comes to things related to the case, her eyes change.

Zhou Yunke laughed inwardly and said, "But the person I thought of should have nothing to do with this case. You also met that person yesterday. She is Cui Zhaorong, the former imperial concubine Cui, who now lives in Changmen Palace."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and then she heard Zhou Yunke say, "You should have heard that Cui Zhaorong and the previous emperor had a prince, the eleventh prince of the previous dynasty. If he were still alive, he would be nine years old this year.

In order to protect the Cui family, Cui Mingyuan, the head of the Cui family, sent her and the eleventh prince to the emperor. However, the eleventh prince was weak and sickly, and he died not long after being thrown into prison. "

Su Liuyue had heard before that Cui Zhaorong had a child, but only today did she find out that her child was also around eight or nine years old.

She said, "But Cui Zhaorong is now imprisoned in Changmen Palace, and didn't the servants there say that she is mentally ill? Even if she really wants revenge, she doesn't have the ability to enter and leave the palace freely."

If she was outside the palace, she would be one of the real suspects.

Zhou Yunke chuckled and said, "That's why I said that she should have nothing to do with this case. I just suddenly thought of her after hearing what you said just now."

Su Liuyue was rather cautious after all. After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Is there a secret passage in the palace that can connect the inside and outside of the palace?"

Zhou Yunke couldn't help but glance at her sideways, "Do you think this is the palace in the storybooks, where any thief can come in and out freely? Even if there really is such a secret passage, if Cui Zhaorong often leaves the palace, how could the people around her not notice it?"

"That too."

Su Liuyue also thought that this idea was too absurd. "And judging from the current situation, after the murderer kidnapped those children, she must have lived with them every day, otherwise she would not have been able to take such good care of them."

She was about to change the subject when she suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, do you know if there are any osmanthus trees in Changmen Palace?"

Zhou Yunke looked puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

Su Liuyue smiled and said, "I just suddenly remembered and wanted to ask."

Seeing that she had no intention of explaining in detail, Zhou Yunke did not ask any more questions. He shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the situation in Changmen Palace. I will send someone to help you check it out tomorrow."

"it is good."

Su Liuyue immediately smiled and said, "It seems that Your Highness can still help a little."

Seeing that she deliberately emphasized the word "a little", Zhou Yunke laughed in anger. He suddenly stood up, walked forward and picked up Su Liuyue sideways.

Su Liuyue immediately cried out softly, and hit his shoulder with a smile, "You rascal!"

"Liu Yue, why don't you tell me, what kind of hooligan am I?" Zhou Yunke raised his mouth with some malicious intentions, holding her and striding out, "I just felt sorry for Madam who had just eaten and might be a little lazy, so I wanted to carry Madam back to her room."

The originally quiet and peaceful courtyard was suddenly filled with the crisp and lively sounds of two people laughing and scolding.

The servants had turned around consciously, with smiles on their faces.

It is obviously the same yard, but just because there is one more person, it seems to be filled with infinite vitality and vigor.

Even the night sky seemed to become gentle.

The next day, Su Liuyue got up early, changed her clothes and went straight to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Fortunately, Zhou Yunke knew that she had something to do last night, so he didn't bother her for too long. Su Liuyue wanted to ask him if he wanted to go to Jingzhao Prefecture together, but Zhou Yunke said, "Since Madam wants to abandon me, I won't be the one to spoil the mood. Madam, go and do your own thing."

Su Liuyue glared at him unhappily and said, "Speak human language."

Zhou Yunke couldn't help but laugh, "I just happened to take this opportunity to go to the military camp outside the city to handle some matters. Originally, I was planning to spend these few days with my wife."

Su Liuyue asked curiously, "You can actually take this time to rest. This matter is so urgent, do you have to go there in person?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yunke paused and whispered, "Xinjing has been a little uneasy recently. I need to go back and deploy some troops to prepare for a rainy day."

Although Su Liuyue did not hear the conversation between Zhou Yunke and his uncle yesterday, she also felt that the atmosphere in the court was becoming increasingly unnatural. This unnaturalness mainly stemmed from the confrontation between the dignitaries of the old and new dynasties.

She couldn't help but put away the smile on her face and said, "Then be careful."

Zhou Yunke raised his lips slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked her face, and said: "I should tell you this. I am going to my own military camp. What should I be careful about?"

The two of them then left the mansion together. At the gate of the mansion, Su Liuyue got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and Zhou Yunke climbed on the horse.

Before leaving, Zhou Yunke rode his horse to Su Liuyue's carriage, leaned down and said in a low voice: "I know you want to learn how to ride a horse. When we are free, I will teach you to ride in person."

After saying this, without waiting for Su Liuyue to say anything, he whipped the horse and the horse galloped away.

Su Liuyue subconsciously lifted the curtain, watched the man's figure quickly disappear in the distance, and raised her lips helplessly.

Their honeymoon ended in such a hurry.

I had originally planned to visit Princess Changxi today, but I can only find time later.

However, it's not bad for both of them to have their own things to do.

Su Liuyue lowered the curtain and said calmly, "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture."

As soon as Su Liuyue arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, he was immediately taken in by a group of excited yamen runners. As they walked, they said, "Young Master Su, Lu Dutou and Feng Dali were busy all night yesterday and made a lot of gains!
Yang Shaoyin has been waiting for Su Xiaolangjun to come since early morning!"

They brought her into a room that looked like Yang Shaoyin's office. When Yang Shaoyin saw her, he immediately came forward and said, "Young Master Su, the head of the road has found out! There are indeed rumors circulating among those children that are similar to what you guessed! It is said that there is a half-immortal in a land temple called Su Zilin outside the city. The half-immortal is very magical. As long as he can meet his requirements, he can help him realize all his wishes!"

Lu Lu nodded and said, "Originally, those children didn't want to talk about it, but fortunately, Young Master Su reminded me. I first asked them who the most prestigious child was. Nine out of ten children mentioned General Murong's Tenth Prince. Even those who didn't mention Murong Tenth Prince admitted that Murong Tenth Prince was very popular among the children.

I lied to them and said that I knew that the rumor was first spread by Murong Shilang, and he had confessed the whole thing to us. Sure enough, those children were fooled immediately and told me the rumor in detail, but they insisted..."

Lu Lu looked a little strange, and said: "This is not a rumor, it is a real thing. It is said that Murong Shilang once received his help. The half-immortal likes children very much, so the requirements he gives to children are simpler than those for older people. But this is a secret between the half-immortal and the children. The children cannot tell the adults about this. Otherwise, once this matter spreads, the adults who go to the half-immortal will make things difficult for him and say that he is unfair.

Therefore, basically no children told the adults at home about this matter. They even felt that they had a sense of accomplishment in keeping such a secret..."
