Zhou Yan touched his nose awkwardly, then coughed lightly, changed the subject, and asked: "How is your injury? Do you want the doctor from the Prince's Mansion to take a look again?"

"The ointment I brought back from the Prince's Mansion last time is still in use. Although the wound has not fully recovered, the pain is lessened. This matter cannot be urgent, so I won't bother the doctor here." Lin Xing declined politely.

She was here to give a gift, and it was logical that she should leave after giving the gift, but Zhou Yan did not agree with her at all about the progress of the investigation in the past few days, so Lin Xing took the initiative to ask.

"I heard from Zhao Jie that Guard Zhang was investigating Feihongyuan recently. I wonder if there are any clues?"

Meeting her expectant gaze, Zhou Yan slowly shook his head, "Not only is there no evidence, when Zhang Ping went to Feihong Yuan, the items in Feihong Yuan had been cleared away, and even the teacups for drinking tea had been replaced."

Feihongyuan has been cleaned up, and even if Zhao Yi left any evidence, it has probably been destroyed.

Lin Xing lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "They are so afraid that someone will search Feihongyuan, probably because the evidence is hidden in it. I wonder where the debris in Feihongyuan was thrown away? If the debris can be found, maybe we can find clues.

."

Thinking that Zhao Yi spent almost the last six months of his life in Feihongyuan's bed, Lin Xing became even more determined, the evidence must be there.

Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Jie and asked for his opinion with his eyes, but Zhao Jie was now following Lin Xing. Since Lin Xing said he wanted to check Feihongyuan, he would not object.

"Then go to Feihongyuan. I'll ask Zhang Ping to inquire about the whereabouts of the debris. If there is any news, I will tell you." Zhou Yan said.

"I also asked Uncle Zhong to ask. Uncle Zhong is an old man of the Zhao family, so he must know more." Lin Xing nodded and took advantage of the situation.

"When will we set off?" Zhao Jie stood up and followed Lin Xing, took two steps forward, and was stared at by Lin Xing's eyes.

Lin Xing looked at him and spoke slowly, "The prince and I will take people to Feihongyuan. Now you go back to Zhao's shop and study business with Uncle Zhong. I will test you when you come back in the evening. Don't be lazy."

"When was this decided? Why didn't I know?" Zhao Jie was stunned, not knowing when he had been arranged to do this.

"Your father had already had a bad relationship with Uncle Zhong before he was alive. Uncle Zhong asked me today when he was sending gifts to the other courtyard, so I took it upon myself to agree on your behalf." Lin Xing answered calmly.

"How can you promise for me? You..." Before Zhao Jie could finish speaking, he remembered what he said yesterday. He could only sigh, suppressing his anger and said, "I'll just go. Be careful with the Zhao family. I

Waiting for you in the other courtyard."

After saying that, he looked abandoned and stared at Lin Xing three times. Until he left the Prince's Mansion, he still hoped that Lin Xing would change his mind.

It's a pity that Lin Xing doesn't accept this trick.

After Zhao Jie left, Zhou Yan leaned over and looked at her. He didn't bother to maintain the last disguise on his face and asked with a smile: "Are you trying to protect him from the Zhao family? Why don't you tell him the truth?"

"Then why does the prince like to watch the fun so much?" Lin Xing curled her lips and replied, "Are you worthy of your brother Zhao?"

"Brother Zhao and I have a very close relationship, and he will forgive me." Zhou Yan said without blushing, and Lin Xing admired his thick skin when she saw him.

It is undeniable that Zhou Yan did save him. Without him, he and Zhao Jie would not have been able to move out of the Zhao family so easily.

But when Zhou Yan came to help Zhao Yi, his purpose was unclear, so Lin Xing had to be on guard.

Compared to the previous time when the two of them were putting on airs and wearing masks to talk to each other, Lin Xing preferred to face each other with their true faces like this now.

Lin Xing still smiled brightly, "Presumably the Crown Prince is also here for the Bird Feather Seal Letter?"

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade." Zhou Yan stood up straight and gave her a complicated look, "I am not the only person in the world who wants the bird feather seal letter. Apart from me, the person on the golden chair, you

How do you know he doesn't want to? I just don't know how long you can protect Zhao Jie by yourself."

"How can I be alone? Don't you still have a heir? You promised Zhao Yi. If you regret it, Zhao Yi will take you away." Lin Xing's smile deepened, her eyes were as cute as crescent moons.

people.

But this smile is just a disguise.

Lin Xing knew very well that Zhou Yan was right, there were many people in the world who were eyeing Que Ling's seal, and she really couldn't do without Zhou Yan now.

However, she can make a deal with Zhou Yan.

"The Bird Feather Seal is in my hand now, but I can't use it. It's just a nice-looking stone now. However, if the Crown Prince is willing, I have a way to make the Crown Prince use it."

Looking at Lin Xing, who had a sweet smile with her teeth exposed, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows thickly, and his tone became more interesting, "What can I do?"

"Make Zhao Jie yours." Lin Xing said bluntly, "As long as Zhao Jie is still alive, no one can take away the bird's feather seal. But if Zhao Jie obeys the prince's orders, won't this bird's feather seal be yours?"

?"

"You are his stepmother." Zhou Yan reminded with a smile, not hiding the interest in his eyes.

Lin Xing said confidently, "So what? She is just a stepmother, not a biological mother. Even if a biological mother is a prostitute, besides, I handed him over to the prince, which can be regarded as saving his life. He should be grateful.

I'm right."

Zhou Yan looked at him more and more boldly, his deep eyes only reflected her figure, with a bit of exploration and investigation.

He once heard Zhao Yi mention this newly married girl in a letter. How did Zhao Yi describe it?

"She is very beautiful, but she is really weak."

But now this weak and beautiful lady is actually using the bird feather seal letter to make a deal with him. If Zhao Yi knew about it, he might not be able to survive.

An evil smile flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.

His eyes fell on Lin Xing's face again, and his exploration and investigation turned into a strong interest, and he asked: "The method you mentioned is not bad, but I have a more direct method, which can not only protect you but also protect you."

I wonder if my wife is interested in hearing about it if I can protect him?"

"Please give me some advice, Your Majesty." Lin Xing raised her eyebrows like willow leaves, her watery eyes became more and more lively, as if she wanted to disturb the deep pool.

Facing these eyes, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You take Zhao Jie to remarry the prince, and you become the prince's wife, and he will be the prince's son. In this way, no one will dare to take his ideas. How?

?”

He looked at Lin Xing expectantly, wondering what kind of reaction she would have next.

Is it panic, or is it yelling? Or is it sarcasm?

However, Zhou Yan was disappointed.

Lin Xing smiled and asked sincerely: "May I ask when the prince will come to propose marriage? I can discuss it with Zhao Jie to avoid losing etiquette."

This answer was beyond Zhou Yan's expectation, but it made him excited for no reason.

After watching the excitement for so many years, this was the first time that someone turned his army against him!

...No, the second time.
