As a result, all three people gave the same answer. This small courtyard was indeed the place they were looking for, and the person living in the courtyard was also the person they were looking for. The only difference was... the owner of the courtyard was not in the courtyard at this time.

It's just here. It is said that his whereabouts are unknown?

Then……

An hour later.

Qu Tan'er and Jing Xin had just stepped into the gate of the Eighth Prince's Mansion. The next moment, their news had already reached the ears of the owner of Shuangyuan Study Room.

"Master, the princess is back." Yu Haowei lowered his head and reported back what he knew in detail.

"Yeah." Mo Liancheng glanced at him lukewarmly, and then continued to draw the portrait in his hand leisurely.

"The princess left the palace and went directly to a small alley in the south city gate. She seemed to be looking for someone. Her subordinates went to check. The person the princess was looking for was a famous carpenter at the time. He had helped build a carpenter for the Eighth Prince's Palace.

bed."

"Is that bed the one in the Xueyuan?" Mo Liancheng's deep eyes flashed with confusion and confusion. What secrets was hidden in that bed? Why was she so persistent?

"Yes." Yu Hao confirmed Mo Liancheng's guess.

"Then what?"

"That person was not in the capital. The princess came back without finding the person. However, when the princess was looking for the person, she fell in love with a small courtyard and then bought the courtyard. I don't know what it is used for."

"Buy a small courtyard?" Mo Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Qu Tan'er's behavior.

"Master, do you want your subordinates to stop it?" Yu Hao asked.

"No need, let her go. However, if you want to invite servants to that small courtyard, those servants must be my king's people."

"Yes." Yu Hao lowered his head and said no more words.

"It's none of your business, go down." Mo Liancheng waved his hand and asked Yu Hao to retreat.

Yu Hao said nothing and slowly retreated.

The room returned to calm again, and the painter did not stop. He continued to paint the painting that seemed to be endless. As for what he was painting, no one knew.

Late at night, there was a quiet place in the snowy courtyard.

Qu Tan'er slept until midnight, turned sideways, a little thirsty, but too lazy to get up. She only slightly opened a slit in her upper eyes. Through the dim light, she seemed to feel that there was someone... someone in the house?

!

This surprise was no small matter, so I sat up immediately.

"Who?!" She suddenly opened the bed curtain.

Astonishingly, the person sitting quietly at the table in the middle of the bedroom was none other than Mo Liancheng.

Mo Liancheng didn't expect her to be in a light sleep. He glanced sideways and saw her opening the bed curtain... only wearing a white inner shirt. Her eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, revealing a strange look, "Are you awake?"

When Qu Tan'er saw it was Mo Liancheng, for some unknown reason, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It scares people, scares people to death...Please let me know the next time you come in."

"What? This king is very scary."

"Of course, ghosts usually come out at night."

"..." Mo Liancheng raised his eyebrows, calling him a ghost in a roundabout way?

Since the prince was here, Qu Tan'er couldn't continue to lie down, but she was too lazy to get out of bed, so she put on a coat and sat cross-legged, "It's so late at night, why is the prince here?"

"Nothing, just... come and sit here when I'm bored."

"Haha, do you think this excuse is convincing?"
