Chapter 481 The Regent’s Mansion was robbed
Shen Ruzhou returned to the medical clinic. As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw Lu Huaining playing with Tietou.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Huaining turned around and saw Shen Ruzhou's face immediately filled with smiles, and said happily: "Beautiful sister, you are finally back."
Shen Ruzhou looked at Qin Ming with doubtful eyes, and Qin Ming spread his hands helplessly, "Young Master heard that Miss Shen has returned to Kyoto. If she insists on coming over, I have no choice."
Lu Huaining followed: "Beautiful sister, you have been gone for so long, Huaining misses her so much."
Shen Ruzhou held his forehead, now that everyone in the court was following him, how could he still dare to run around?
She stepped forward quickly and pulled Huaining into the house. She couldn't help but scolded: "If you miss your sister, you can have someone pass the message on. My sister is here to see you. Why do you have to run over here."
Lu Huaining curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why can't I come to see my sister?"
Shen Ruzhou asked Miaodong to put Huaining's favorite snacks on the table and explained in a gentle voice, "It's not safe outside now. My sister is worried about you, so she doesn't want you to run around."
Since Bei Xiuyan didn't tell Huai Ning about his life experience, he must have had some considerations, so it would be hard for her to expose him.
Hearing this, Lu Huaining rolled his eyes upwards and looked impatient, "Sister, I'm tired of hearing these words. Qin Ming keeps nagging in my ears every day."
As he spoke, he leaned on the low table, supported his head with one hand, and complained: "Master sent a secret message, asking me to stay in the secret room of the palace, and assigned a lot of homework. I haven't been out for a month. ”
As Lu Huaining spoke, he glared at Qin Ming, "If I hadn't told him that he would go crazy if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't have agreed to let me out."
Seeing him complaining like this in front of Shen Ruzhou, Qin Ming wanted to give some more advice, but in the end he said nothing and just looked at Shen Ruzhou helplessly.
Shen Ruzhou smiled bitterly and felt Qin Ming's pleading eyes. She persuaded: "My lord, it's for your own good. Please go back with Qin Ming and don't come out again. Otherwise, if the regent finds out, he will definitely punish you."
Shen Ruzhou moved out of the Beixiu Banquet. Lu Huaining was immediately discouraged, lowered his head and said, "I know, I'll go back in a moment."
While everyone was talking, a man who looked like a guard was led into the house by Jian Yu. The visitor saw the ceremony and said, "Young Master, Guard Qin, a thief just broke into the house. The housekeeper asked me to report it. What should I do if I ask for instructions?”
Shen Ruzhou was shocked after hearing this, and her intuition told her that this matter was not simple, and it was very likely that she was coming for Lu Huaining.
Qin Ming also sensed that something was wrong. He thought for a moment and cupped his hands to Shen Ruzhou and said, "Miss Shen, the house may no longer be safe. Can you let the young master stay in the hospital temporarily? I will go back and deal with the thieves' matter, and then pick up the young master." Lord go back.”
Shen Ruzhou nodded in agreement: "There is a wine cellar in the backyard. It is extremely secret. Let's live there first."
After saying that, she still felt uneasy and continued: "Jian Yu, you stay and protect Huai Ning. Qin Ming and I will go to the Regent's Mansion to have a look."
Qin Ming was about to refuse, but Shen Ruzhou said again: "I remember the regent said before that I can make the final decision on the affairs of the regent's palace, right?"
"The prince said it, but..." Qin Ming tried his best to find a reason to refuse, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find one. Finally, he had to accept his fate and said: "Then there will be Miss Lao Shen."
After arranging for Lu Huaining, Shen Ruzhou followed Qin Ming to the Regent's Palace.
As soon as they entered the main hall, the housekeeper hurried over and reported respectfully: "Miss Shen, Guard Qin, I just took people to sort out the items in the house, and nothing was lost."
Nothing was lost? That's no ordinary thief.
Shen Ruzhou asked: "Did you notice anything unusual?"
After being reminded by her, the housekeeper immediately said: "There is one less person in the house."
"Who?" Qin Ming asked quickly, praying silently in his heart that it wouldn't be that person.
"The old slave Liu Youde who carried water in the backyard has disappeared. I wonder if he sneaked out to drink again."
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Qin Ming looked shocked and went to the backyard without saying a word, heading straight to Liu Youde's residence.
Shen Ruzhou saw something was wrong and followed him.
When I arrived at Liu Youde's residence, I opened the door and saw the mess on the floor. There were obvious signs of a fight in the house.
"Liu Youde was forcibly kidnapped." Shen Ruzhou expressed his judgment, turned to look at Qin Ming, and found that his face was pale and he was leaning against the wall weakly, as if he had lost his soul.
Shen Ruzhou asked everyone else to leave first, then closed the door. He looked at Qin Ming with burning eyes and asked, "Who is this Liu Youde?"
Qin Ming lowered his head and did not answer.
Seeing that Qin Ming was silent, Shen Ruzhou asked again: "Is this person related to Huai Ning's life experience?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming's pupils shrank suddenly and his eyes were full of surprise. Did the prince tell Shen Ruzhou the true identity of Young Master Lu?
Shen Ruzhou was anxious and shouted: "Now that things have happened, there is nothing else you can't tell me. Now, I must know the identity of this person so that I can come up with a countermeasure to keep Huaining safe."
Yes, the young master cannot make any mistakes, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the prince. Thinking of this, Qin Ming quickly told everything he knew.
"Miss Shen, this person was originally a eunuch in the palace. He was the one who was ordered to take the newly born young master out of the palace and bury him alive."
"So, Liu Youde knows Huai Ning's identity. We must find him as soon as possible, lest Mu Wanqing learns things she shouldn't know from him." Shen Ruzhou immediately pointed out the crux of the matter.
"Mu Wanqing? Miss Shen is talking about Princess Yu." Qin Ming was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off. He didn't know where to start the investigation, but Shen Ruzhou had already told the name of the person who did it.
Without further ado, Shen Ruzhou quickly decided on a countermeasure.
"Let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion now. I'll enter through the front door, hold Mu Wanqing down, and make some excuses along the way. You sneak in through the back door and see if Liu Youde is in the mansion."
"Yes." Qin Ming accepted with his hands raised. At this moment, he was already in awe of Shen Ruzhou. Her agility, wisdom, and calmness were exactly the same as the prince's.
In Prince Yu's Mansion, the maid Qiu Ying whispered in Mu Wanqing's ear: "Miss, we have been caught."
"Very good, all this time has finally paid off. Let's go and interrogate him." Mu Wanqing ordered, then stood up and walked out. Just two steps out of the door, a female voice came from beside her, "Yu Princess, make it easy for me to find my daughter?!"
Mu Wanqing stopped immediately, turned around and said in surprise: "Shen Ruzhou, why are you here?"
