A hint of coolness flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. Just as he was about to speak again and ask her to return to the Guoan Prince's Mansion with him, a surprised voice rang in his ears.
"Liu'er, you're finally back!"
A smile instantly bloomed on Liu Rumei's face. Looking at A Nan, who was carrying a lot of things, and Heng Niang, who was extremely leisurely, she said with a gentle smile, "Sorry to have made you worried."
Mo Liandi's eyes were filled with annoyance. The timing of these two people's return was really too bad. If they had come a bit later, he might have been able to take Liu'er back to the Guoan Prince's Mansion!
Heng Niang was completely unaware of Mo Liandi's thoughts. Looking at Liu Rumei's calm and composed face, she immediately turned into a gust of wind and pounced on her.
Seeing Heng Niang throw herself into Liu Rumei's arms, Mo Liandi's face darkened. This woman!
Heng Niang hugged Liu Rumei tightly, her eyes full of worry. "You've really worried this slave to death!"
She hadn't come back for many days, and Heng Niang had thought something had happened to her.
However, A Nan's eyes were full of resentment. "You still remember to come back! You said if you didn't come back soon, she was going to sneak into the palace at night!"
He had suffered a lot these days. But seeing that Liu Rumei was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief.
A smile danced in Liu Rumei's eyes as she said softly, "There were some unexpected changes, so I came back a bit late."
Hearing this, Heng Niang immediately perked up. "Was that murderer caught?"
Liu Rumei nodded with a gentle smile. "The case has been solved."
A Nan had also heard a lot of rumors about the palace these days. He frowned and asked, "Was it really a ghost that killed someone?"
Liu Rumei shook her head with a smile. "How could there be ghosts and gods in this world?"
She didn't want to believe in such things. However, she had directly traveled to this time and space, so she believed a little bit, but that was all!
Witnessing the two chatting happily, Mo Liandi frowned tightly. He stepped forward, pulled Liu Rumei to his side, and away from Heng Niang.
Seeing this, Heng Niang immediately glared at him with her beautiful eyes. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and couldn't help smiling. "Your Highness, why don't you go back to your mansion and reflect behind closed doors?"
For three months, she wanted to see how he could still compete with her for Liu'er!
Mo Liandi's expression turned cold. "I know what to do about my own affairs!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes. After all, this matter was caused by her!
Thinking about the current situation, she also said to Mo Liandi, "Heng Niang and A Nan have come back. Your Highness should go back quickly."
Mo Yun had been looking for his faults. If Mo Yun took advantage of this because of her, it would be her fault.
Mo Liandi pursed his lips, looking extremely embarrassed. "Do you really want me to leave that much?"
Liu Rumei was stunned for a moment. She pursed her red lips and didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to deal with Mo Liandi's feelings for her.
Seeing Liu Rumei like this, Mo Liandi finally gave in. After leaving Ye Zhe behind, he turned around and left.
Watching Mo Liandi's departing back, Liu Rumei's heart was filled with complex emotions.
However, Heng Niang snorted, her eyes full of pride. She hugged Liu Rumei into her arms again. "Liu'er, this slave has missed you so much!"
Liu Rumei's attention was immediately taken back. A hint of embarrassment appeared in her eyes. "Heng Niang, let go!"
A Nan pouted. Looking at Ye Zhe, his eyes were full of annoyance. He mumbled, "Why did he leave this person behind..."
Could it be that he and Heng Niang couldn't protect Liu Rumei in this Youyuan Inn?
Liu Rumei was a bit overwhelmed by Heng Niang's enthusiasm. She said with a embarrassed smile, "Heng Niang, I'm so tired these days. I'll go back and rest first."
Although Heng Niang was a bit reluctant in her heart, she still let go. "Go ahead. We'll have a good chat tomorrow."
Liu Rumei nodded with a smile and then turned around to go upstairs.
Watching Liu Rumei's departing back, A Nan suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted, "Liu'er, what was the murder weapon used by that murderer?"
It could cut the body instantly without being noticed in broad daylight. It must be something extraordinary!
Hearing this, Liu Rumei also frowned. She had actually forgotten about this!
"I forgot..."
A Nan's eyes were full of helplessness. She had gone to investigate the case but hadn't even found out the murder weapon.
Liu Rumei couldn't help but rub her forehead. Now that Song Chang'an was dead, the murder weapon had disappeared without a trace. It was impossible to investigate!
Heng Niang couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder. "This is completely unlike your style!"
Liu Rumei also shook her head with a bitter smile and didn't say much more. "That thing should be like a silk thread, but extremely sharp."
It was a pity that Song Chang'an was dead, and this thing was about to be buried.
Heng Niang and A Nan couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Noticing their expressions, Liu Rumei raised her eyebrows. "Do you know what that thing is?"
A smile curved Heng Niang's lips. "If it's really as you said, that thing should be the Snowy Region silk threads. They're very rare. With just a light touch, even iron can be easily cut off, not to mention human bones."
Liu Rumei's eyes were full of disbelief. "Snowy Region silk threads? But if they can really cut off iron, then..."
What about the tree and the iron pillar in the secret compartment of the imperial concubine...
A Nan pursed his lips and said, "There must be a way to use it. Although it can cut iron like mud, there are always things it can't cut. However, I didn't expect that such a treasure would fall into the hands of a royal doctor."
Song Chang'an? She didn't expect that the thing Heng Niang had been looking for for so long would be in his hands.
A smile also curved Heng Niang's lips. "Liu'er, if it's really as you said, isn't that thing still in the palace?"
Liu Rumei nodded indifferently. "Do you want that thing, Heng Niang?"
"Of course this slave wants such a precious treasure." After saying that, her eyes rolled, and she said with a gentle smile, "This thing is made of iron essence, which is a very rare thing. A piece the size of a fist can only make a small section. If there are really as many Snowy Region silk threads as you said, it would be perfect for this slave to use for self - defense."
Liu Rumei couldn't help but shake her head with a gentle smile. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Song Chang'an is already dead, and the whereabouts of that thing are unknown. Although it's still in the palace, no one knows where Song Chang'an put it."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Heng Niang's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she returned to normal. "It seems that this slave is fated not to have it."
However, A Nan frowned. Looking at the smiling Heng Niang, his eyes were full of determination.
Since they already knew its whereabouts, they would definitely be able to find it!
Liu Rumei didn't care about the two of them anymore. She went back to her room to wash up and go to bed.
Who would have thought that just as she took off her outer robe, there was a loud 'bang' from downstairs.
"Are you tired of living?"
