Chapter 40 You are really hungry (Part )
The more Rong Ruo thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but talk nonstop: "Miss Su, don't look at our prince's temperament... ahem, a little weird, but he is actually very kind-hearted! He is also very loyal to his soldiers! He is the typical... cold on the outside but warm on the inside, not to mention that our prince is so handsome and has great martial arts skills. Most importantly, he is young and promising! Miss Su is so smart, she should be able to see these things without me saying anything!"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Liuyue with sparkling eyes.

Su Liuyue: “…”

Feng Yang: “…”

Although she didn't know Zhou Yunke well, she could see Rong Ruo's strange enthusiasm.

Thinking about how Zhou Yunke was trying to avoid people around him, and the rumor that the current crown prince was twenty-six years old and still had no queen, she instantly understood where Rong Ruo's strange enthusiasm came from, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.

Not to mention that she had no interest in that man at all. Judging from the fact that he frowned when she even came close to him, how did he know that there was a possibility between her and that man?

She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Rong, are you hungry?"

Rong Ruo was stunned and didn't understand what Su Liuyue meant for a moment.

"Even if you are hungry, you should not eat anything you want."

Su Liuyue said expressionlessly: "We have to pick the right one, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to overcome it."

Rong Ruo: “…”

This woman's metaphor is also very novel.

In the past, other women always tried every means to get close to His Highness through him, but this was the first time he had seen such a look of rejection on her face whenever he mentioned His Highness.

After Su Liuyue finished speaking, she looked at Feng Yang and smiled, "Guard Feng, I know the way ahead, so I won't bother you to send me off."

After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye to Rong Ruo, then walked away.

Feng Yang subconsciously wanted to follow. It was His Highness's order to send Miss Su off. How could he really not send her off just because Miss Su said no?

However, before he could take a step, Rong Ruo grabbed him and said, "Hey, don't go. Tell me in detail what happened today. I know that what Xiang Bei said is not reliable!"

Feng Yang had no choice but to stop and glance at Rong Ruo quietly.

You know it’s unreliable, but you still believe it?
However, since Mr. Rong had asked, he couldn't refuse, so he could only tell him in detail what had happened in the past two days.

The more Rong Ruo listened, the more surprised he was. After hearing how Su Liuyue solved the case, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This woman is truly a genius. If she were a man, why would Your Highness have to go to so much trouble to find a new candidate for Shao Yin?
However, are you sure that His Highness really has no other thoughts about Miss Su? With such a pretty beauty right next to him, can His Highness really resist? ! "

Feng Yang: “…”

He has said it no less than ten times! His Highness treats Miss Su no differently than he treats anyone else!
However... it is true that Miss Su is very arrogant in front of His Highness.

Rong Ruo stared at Feng Yang without giving up, but seeing that he just had a dead look on his face, he finally dropped his shoulders in disappointment.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "You just said that her maternal grandfather's family was the Xue family? I remember that Xue Chengyi, who is now the Imperial Censor, is a member of the Xue family."

Feng Yang was slightly stunned, not understanding why Mr. Rong suddenly jumped to this topic, and nodded and said, "Yes."

Rong Ruo frowned slightly and murmured, "That's a bit troublesome..."

Although a crown prince has been appointed, undercurrents are still surging among the princes.

A few days ago, the eldest prince Zhou Jingchen, who was named King of Wei, recommended one of his advisers to the emperor. According to the intelligence they had obtained, the King of Wei wanted to place that adviser in the Censorate.

The Censorate is responsible for supervising all officials. If there is one of their own among them, it is equivalent to having a sword that can be pointed at anyone in the court!
The emperor was always afraid of their highness, fearing that their highness would dominate the country. During this period, he responded to every request from the king of Wei. As long as he asked, the emperor would not refuse. No matter how arrogant the king of Wei was, he would not be so stupid as to ask to replace the highest official of the Censorate, the Imperial Censor, or his deputy, the Imperial Censor, with his own people. Therefore, he was probably targeting positions below the Imperial Censor.

He learned that among the people under the Chief Censor, Xue Chengyi had the least background and was also the one most likely to be replaced.

……

On the other side, Su Liuyue was worried that Xue Wenbai would wait anxiously, so she quickened her pace and walked out. She saw Xue Wenbai outside Jingzhao Prefecture, who had already found a donkey cart and was standing next to the cart with his neck stretched out, waiting for her. When he saw her come out, he immediately waved excitedly and said, "Liuyue, this way!"

Su Liuyue couldn't help but put on a big smile on her face and ran over happily.

Along the way, Su Liuyue simply told Xue Wenbo what had happened in the past two days. Xue Wenbo opened his mouth as wide as if a nest of flies could fly in. After a long while, he said with difficulty: "Liuyue, are you... are you crazy, or am I hard of hearing and heard it wrong?"

Liu Yue was actually called by the people of Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate a case! Moreover, she...she actually solved such a major case that spanned fifteen years in less than two days!

Su Liuyue rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "You have a lot of problems at such a young age, so don't drag me into this. If I don't solve the case, how can you get out so quickly?"

Although...well, after all, it was because of her that he was suddenly thrown into jail.

Xue Wenbai's mouth couldn't help but open wider.

At this moment, the carriage stopped and the driver outside said, "You two, we have arrived at Tongxin Lane."

Su Liuyue smiled and said, "Okay, cousin, hold your chin. Pingchuan just went back to report the news. My uncle and aunt must be waiting at the door to greet you. If they see you looking so silly, they might think something is wrong with you."

After Xue Wenbai got into trouble, Yun sent Pingchuan to guard Jingzhao Prefecture and return home to report any disturbance.

Just now Xue Wenbai said that when Su Liuyue was in Jingzhao Prefecture, he had already sent Pingchuan home to report his safety.

After saying that, she ignored Xue Wenbai, got out of the car, paid the fare, and walked towards Xue's house.

Xue Wenbai quickly caught up with her and was about to ask her more questions when a surprised voice with a tearful tone rang out, "My son, you are finally back! I was so worried about you!"

"Big brother!"

It was the voices of Yun and Xue Lingwan.

Not far away, Yun, Xue Lingwan and Xue Wenjin, who had been guarding the Xue family's gate since early morning, came running over and surrounded Xue Wenbai.

Yun tightly held Xue Wenbo's hand, tears on the verge of falling, "My son, are you okay? How have you been these past two days? Have the people in Jingzhao Prefecture treated you harshly? Have they tortured you?"

Xue Wenbai grinned naively, "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. The food in the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture is quite delicious. I even found that only my food had chicken legs, and no one else's!"

Seeing his heartless look, Xue Lingwan was both amused and angry. She couldn't help biting her lip and hitting him, saying, "Brother, you don't know how worried we are! We didn't even dare to tell our sister-in-law that you were captured!"

Xue Wenbai said quickly: "Don't tell her, don't tell her. She is a double now and can't stand being frightened. By the way, where is Dad?"

It's dark now. Normally, Dad should have finished his shift and returned home long ago.

As soon as he finished speaking, the smiles on the faces of the Yun family members froze and slowly disappeared. The corners of their mouths were tightly pursed and no one spoke for a long time.

Xue Wenbo's heart suddenly jumped, "What do you mean by that expression? Could it be... Could it be that something happened to my father?"
