Song Jingchen saw the pain on her face and found it funny. She was clearly almost as rich as a country, but this girl was still as stingy as ever.
Shen Yijia was embarrassed by his gaze and whispered, “I have to keep that money to raise you.”
Song Jingchen teased, “Just me?”
Shen Yijia thought that he was talking about Xuanyuan Ce ls suggestion.
Without thinking, she said, “Of course. I don’t like others.”
Unlike Shen Yijia, Xuanyuan Ce was not satisfied with this residence at all. He wished he could send someone to tear it down immediately.
“Uncle, shouldn’t we go? Father is still waiting for you,” Xuanyuan Ziming reminded him meekly.
Xuanyuan Ce glared at him and said to Ji Luo, “Since you don’t want to stay in my residence, I’ll send a few people to serve you.”
“There’s no need. We like peace and quiet.” Ji Luo refused.
Xuanyuan Ce opened his mouth and met Ji Luo’s eyes. In the end, he compromised.

“There’s no need. We like peace and quiet.” Ji Luo refused.
Xuanyuan Ce opened his mouth and met Ji Luo’s eyes. In the end, he compromised.
He stood up and said, “You’re probably tired from the journey. Rest early. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
With that, he left with Chu Feng.
Xuanyuan Ziming quickly followed. After taking two steps, he turned around. “Jiajia, Brother Song, I’ll come tomorrow. I’ll bring you around.”
Shen Yijia waved him away.
“Uncle, wait for me.” Xuanyuan Ziming caught up to Xuanyuan Ce and asked breathlessly, “Are we going to the palace now?”
“Who said that I’m going to the palace?” Xuanyuan Ce said.
Xuanyuan Ziming was stunned. “Huh? Didn’t Imperial Uncle come to save me?” “Do you really want me to save you?” Xuanyuan Ce said meaningfully.
Although he did not interact much with Xuanyuan Ziming, he did not believe that his nephew was stupid. After all, Xuanvuan Ce’s mother and brother both liked him.
Xuanyuan Ziming scratched his head. “Imperial Uncle, do you know everything? I’m just being expedient. Really, I have no intention of dragging you down with me.”
This time, Xuanyuan Ce was puzzled.
Xuanyuan Ziming’s face fell. “If I didn’t say that Imperial Uncle fell in love with Princess Changle at first sight, Father would have asked me to marry her long ago. I had no choice. Imperial Uncle, you’ll definitely understand me, right?” “Xuanyuan Ziming!” Xuanyuan Ce gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
With a bang, a fist hit him in the face.
“Ah!” Xuanyuan Ziming cried out in pain. “Imperial Uncle, I was wrong…”
Seeing that another fist was about to hit him, Xuanyuan Ziming quickly retreated.
“I’ll go to the palace and explain it to Father. I’ll say that I misunderstood. Imperial Uncle doesn’t like that bullsh*t princess at all.”
With that, he ran away.
Looking at the person who ran away in an instant, Chu Feng suddenly understood. “No wonder.”
Xuanyuan Ce flicked his sleeve. “No wonder what?”
Chu Feng said, “No wonder those people looked incredulous when they saw His Highness return to Phoenix City. The Third Prince probably spread the news in advance. Everyone thinks that His Highness is here to snatch the bride.” Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Call You Yi over first.”
There was a fluctuation in the air. Soon, two men in black appeared in front of Xuanyuan Ce.
“What happened when you entered the Xuanyuan Kingdom?” Xuanyuan Ce asked.
You Yi thought for a moment. Since Miss had taken the initiative to mention it, she must not have thought of hiding it from His Highness. Hence, You Yi told him everything that had happened at the checkpoint and what he had heard after that.
Well, he was Miss’s underling now. He could only say what Miss wanted him to say.
Xuanyuan Ce’s eyes turned cold. “The Yu family is really bold.”
“How’s the investigation going?” He looked at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng knew that he was referring to the incident where MO Yuan mentioned that someone had once chased after Ji Luo with his token. He quickly lowered his head. “I didn’t find any useful clues, but..
“But what?”
“Your Highness, do you still remember when you were seriously ill?”
Xuanyuan Ce frowned. He naturally remembered that his hair was not white from birth, but because of that illness.
“His Highness had been recuperating in bed during that period of time. The empress dowager ignored your objections and ordered the princess consort to take care of you.” Chu Feng hesitated for a moment and continued, “That was when it happened.”
Xuanyuan Ce ls illness was sudden, and even the imperial physicians were helpless. The empress dowager did not want him to not even have a wife. She was just short of imprisoning the princess consort in his room.
Logically speaking, there were guards, secret guards, and Demon Guards beside Xuanyuan Ce.

Apart from one exception, it was when the lord and princess consort were sleeping soundly.
“Heh.” Xuanyuan Ce closed his eyes. “There weren’t any clues?
Chu Feng shook his head. “The team we sent out didn’t come back alive at all.”
An hour later, an inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of Lord Jing’an’s residence.
The guard was about to drive them away when he recognized that the person driving the carriage was Chu Feng. He cupped his fists and said, “Guard Chu.”
Chu Feng nodded and jumped out of the carriage. He turned around and lifted the curtain.
The guards looked at each other and quickly knelt down. “Your Highness..”
