The relationship between Zhao Yufan and Xia Mo'er is very normal.
It's okay not to help her, but he remembers the agreement with Xia Qiuze.
Because there is no time for the agreement, he can completely refuse any request from Xia Mo'er, but he will not do that. , even for Xia Qiuze, he felt that he should do something.
"Tell me what you want me to do."
Xia Mo'er glanced at Zhao Yufan in surprise, but she didn't expect to agree so quickly, "Do something for me."
"If the Ninth Prince comes into contact with you, try to stay close to him.
It's best to let countless people know that you have a very good relationship with him."
"Okay" Zhao Yufan replied.
Seeing Xia Mo'er turning to leave, he suddenly asked: "What do you want to do?"
Xia Mo'er didn't answer.
Her figure blended into the light mist, just like fog, unable to see through or see clearly.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Yuanyuan came first and provided some information.
The main content of the information was the cause of Xia Qiuze's death.
Many people thought that Xia Qiuze died of poisoning, but the real cause of his death was that he was stabbed in the chest with a tiny silver needle.
Yuanyuan not only found out the cause of death, but also identified several suspicious persons.
Based on the angle at which the silver needle was injected into the body, the location of the silver needle can be roughly guessed.
In addition, shooting the silver needle requires extremely skillful techniques, so it is very difficult.
The institute identified five suspects.
Among them, the fourth prince and Yiye, the miracle doctor under the fourth prince, were both suspects.
Among the remaining three, two were low-level officials of the empire and one was an elder of a small sect.
Zhao Yufan wandered in the room, waiting for news about Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing came not long after, but he did not find any useful clues.
Instead, he discovered another thing.
This thing happened on the night after Xia Qiuze was killed.
According to reliable sources, there were some soldiers inside and outside Kyoto that night.
Abnormal movement.
The three of them sat on chairs, frowning in thought, without any clue.
Yuanyuan complained, holding her chin, and muttered: "You plan to investigate Xia Qiuze's death, so this matter is closely related, so it would be better for you to stay away from it."
Before Zhao Yufan could speak, there was a knock on the door, followed by a hearty voice: "I heard that Master Zhao is very good at swordsmanship.
Brother, I came here to ask for advice."
Hearing the voices, Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing's expressions changed, and their expressions were extremely strange.
Zhao Yufan looked at the door blankly, not knowing who was coming.
"It's the Ninth Prince."
Zhang Qing looked at Zhao Yufan in surprise and asked, "Do you know him?"
Zhao Yufan curled his lips and suddenly thought of Xia Moer's words, shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know him, but I have always wanted to know him."
Welcome the Ninth Prince into the house.
The Ninth Prince looked surprised when he saw Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing.
"It's you two young masters" Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing nodded slightly and secretly looked at Zhao Yufan's reaction.
Zhao Yufan's face was as calm as ever, without the slightest curiosity.
He had never asked Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing about their family backgrounds, but he also knew that they had different family backgrounds.
Simple, but he didn't care about that.
After sweeping the simple room, Zhao Yufan smiled and said: "Let's talk outside."
Several people nodded and left the courtyard, finally stopping at a nearby teahouse.
The teahouse is antique, full of simplicity and elegance, making people feel calm.
The faint fragrance of tea wafts out from all kinds of precious tea sets, just like the aura of an immortal, ethereal and traceless.

Sitting in a private room, Zhao Yufan and others sipped tea and chatted, talking about trivial matters in life and trying to avoid sensitive topics.
The teahouse owner noticed that there were more guests than usual today, and many of the guests behaved strangely.
Some guests came to the teahouse, threw down a large number of spiritual stones, and then wandered around alone in the teahouse.
Several guests did not drink tea. , but they had to sit in the same box, and after sitting there for less than a few minutes, they left in a hurry.
Some guests even offered high prices to be temporary waiters here.
Soon, the boss discovered the purpose of this group of people.
They were actually eavesdropping on the conversation of Zhao Yufan and several others.
However, for him, as long as he made money, he didn't care about other things.
Now, he could only pray secretly that Zhao Yufan and others would not leave too early.
The group of guests who behaved strangely just now were all spies from various forces.
As the most famous person in the Zimang Empire, Zhao Yufan naturally attracted much attention.
Various forces sent spies to monitor Zhao Yufan.
Now these spies discovered that Zhao Yufan was actually with the Ninth Prince.
If there is contact, of course you have to find out what they are plotting.
Unfortunately, a few people have been chatting, but if they sit together, it is enough to be considered a big news.
If we say that besides Zhao Yufan, who is the most eye-catching person in Kyoto, it must be the eldest prince, fourth prince, sixth prince, and ninth prince, because they are all princes who are extremely favored by the emperor, and the four of them have always wanted to Defeat the other three and compete for the throne.
People from various factions had different expressions after learning that Zhao Yufan had met with the Ninth Prince.
Some of them were excited, some were angry, some were calm, and some were even gloating.
People were coming and going on the street, some were selling candied haws on their shoulders, some were shouting "I'm selling bags" on the roadside, and there were also jugglers shouting "Humph".
The whole Kyoto was prosperous and lively.
Inside the teahouse, it seemed extremely quiet, as if it was a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle.
Zhao Yufan and others were still chatting, but the topic had already turned to Xia Qiuze.
The Ninth Prince did not express any opinion on this matter, and looked dismissive of it.
Seeing the Ninth Prince's expression, Zhao Yufan frowned slightly.
He originally thought that Xia Mo'er and the Ninth Prince had a good relationship, but now it seems that maybe Xia Mo'er was just taking advantage of the Ninth Prince.
After a moment of silence, he tentatively said: "Xia Qiu Zeke is the father of the concubine.
He was assassinated.
Xia Moer will definitely plead with the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. " The Ninth Prince nodded in agreement and said slightly disappointedly: "Unfortunately, Xia Mo'er's status is average, she doesn't hold any real power, and she has no close confidants.
Even if her father dotes on her, she is just a female, and it is difficult for her to achieve anything big."
Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing looked at Zhao Yufan strangely, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.
Zhao Yufan seemed to have a good relationship with Xia Qiuze, but when the Ninth Prince spoke of Xia Qiuze and Xia Mo with disdain, Zhao Yufan did not refute, but chose There was silence.
A few people chatted until eleven o'clock in the morning, then left the teahouse and rushed to a nearby hotel for dinner.
They wandered around Kyoto in the afternoon and left in the evening.
For a few days, Zhao Yufan and the Ninth Prince were together, and sometimes they would meet alone.
This close relationship gave many people a bad idea.
This idea was that Zhao Yufan and the Ninth Prince had joined forces. , their alliance made the three princes and other forces feel threatened.
Not long after, there were more rumors in the streets and alleys, and these rumors spread throughout Kyoto like sparks
