The catcher hurriedly came, reporting, “Prince, your wife arrives.”
Yu Wenhao raised up his head and asked, “Princess?”
What was she doing here? It was already late at night. Why didn’t she go to sleep?
He got up to go outside, finding Lu Ya was supporting Yuan Qingling to get in.
He hurriedly came forward to hold her hands and remarked, “Why are you coming at such a late time?”
Yuan Qingling felt distressed when seeing his pale and exhausted face, saying, “The princess told me the emperor instructed you to solve cases in seven days. Why didn’t you tell me such a big thing?”
Yu Wenhao comforted her in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. The deadline hasn’t arrived. Besides, I am confident to solve the case within seven days.”
Yuan Qingling knew he was lying. If he could really solve cases in seven days, he wouldn’t refuse to come home.
Yu Wenhao led her in while Yuan Qingling remarked, “Although I am not good at solving cases, I know some medical skills. Let me check the corpses. Maybe I will find some clues.”
“Check the corpses? No!” Yu Wenhao immediately denied her suggestion and remarked, “There is no point for you to do this.”
Those people had been died for several days. Although the morgue had used ices to keep the bodies fresh, they already got swollen up and let off terrible smell. How could Yuan Qingling bear that smell?
“But you haven’t made any progress yet, have you? Don’t try to lie to me.” Yuan Qingling remarked.
“Trust me. Everything will be alright.” Yu Wenhao found his own words were too unreasonable to stop her.
After sending Yu Qingling to the bedroom, Yu Wenhao told her to have a good rest on the arhat bed. Afterwards, he scolded Lu Ya for not taking a good care of his wife.
Yuan Qingling was grateful that Yu Wenhao cherished her a lot, but they were already married couples now and should share the burden together. Therefore, she felt really helpless to her husband’s behaviour.
However, she couldn’t stick to convince him because he really looked annoyed by the cases.
Yuan Qingling changed a place to go to sleep, while Yu Wenhao was still busy in the office.
Xu Yi obeyed Yu Wenhao’s command to stop her from running outside.
However, Yuan Qingling couldn’t fall asleep. She finally decided to let Lu Ya bring Xu Yi here.
Xu Yi got more prudent after Yuan Qingling almost got assassinated.
He no longer showed his teasing and innocent expression, but asked in a serious manner, “Princess, do you have any instructions?”
“Xu Yi!” Yuan Qingling looked at him and also asked in a serious way, “Do I treat you well?”
Xu Yi replied gratefully, “Of course. If it weren’t you who begged for mercy last time, it would be hard for me to work for the prince.”
Yuan Qingling immediately said, “Yes. It’s good for you to remember it. I have helped you once and you have to pay back. How about that?”
Xu Yi clasped his hands together and remarked, “Princess, you don’t have to ask for help. I will follow everything you say.”
“You don’t have to do that. Just take me to the morgue.” Yuan Qingling remarked.
Xu Yi got astonished and asked, “Princess, what are you doing in the morgue? It’s an unlucky place. Besides, prince will definitely punish me if he finds out.”
Yuan Qingling looked at him and noted, “Why do you have to tell the prince? Just bring me there. Prince won’t find out if I haven’t verified anything, but if I have, you will render outstanding service.”
“No, I don’t want to do that.” Xu Yi replied firmly.
Yuan Qingling slowly walked towards him. She looked at him and shook her head, saying, “Xu Yi, I never expect you to be this kind of person. So ungrateful.”
