After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

"What's the situation in Qianjiao Garden..." Lou Xiyue glanced at Fu Guan and happened to meet his eyes.

Fu Guanwei smiled and said, "The princess should speak first."

Shangguan Jie then asked, "Oh? The princess must have discovered something strange in the garden?"

"I don't know what exactly counts as something strange, but I think the case of 'Unknown Corpse in the Suburbs' that Sir Shangguan is investigating should be considered to have some clues." Lou Xiyue said.

The Shangguan was confused and asked, "Huh? Does the Queen's words make peace? Could it be that the corpse is really inseparable from Qianjiao Garden?"

"That's right." Lou Xiyue nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, the deceased should be from Qianjiao Garden or an actor in the garden."

"Actor?" Shangguan explained: "Please ask the princess to clear up the confusion."

Lou Xiyue said: "Do you still remember the 'screams' in the garden mentioned earlier? The prince and I also found it strange at first, so after entering the garden, we split into two groups to investigate secretly." She said:

"I followed the sound and found the courtyard where geishas are raised in Qianjiao Garden. The courtyard is divided into six small courtyards at the front and back. In several of the rooms, there are teachers specially assigned to teach chess, calligraphy and painting.

"In addition, the courtyard also has a place for actors to practice their voices and learn opera."

Fu Guandao: "Qianjiao Garden is not only a winery, but also a place for entertainment for the powerful in the capital. Presumably, the geishas you see are all trained by Qianjiao Garden and sent to serve the guests."

"I thought so too," Lou Xiyue said, "What I didn't expect was that among those 'geishas', it was not the women who were forced to learn opera, but real men."

Shangguan explained: "Having said that, it is indeed very popular among the people to sing operas and songs on the stage. And those actors are mainly men, and they mostly sing some dramas and so on."

"If it's just a simple opera, that's it." Lou Xiyue said: "The people in charge of Qianjiao Garden are too vicious and cruel. They not only require men to perform like women, but also teach them to act like eunuchs in the palace. Force them to cleanse themselves."

"That's where the screams we heard came from," she said.

If you think about it carefully, the person who can do such a thing is probably a madman.

Asking a group of clean men to dress up as women to sing and perform is not something ordinary people can do.

The saying really rings true, birds of a feather flock together. Nie Huaishen, who hangs out with Qi Yu all the time, must be in the same league as him.

At this time, Shangguan Jie was greatly surprised when he heard these words: "What?! They actually used castration?"

He was so shocked that he stood up and walked around the room with a frown on his face: "Private castration is against the laws of Daxuan and should be punished according to crime. Serious cases should be exiled. How can they be so bold?!"

At this time, Fu Guan sighed: "Perhaps they have done something more daring. Compared with the two, the mere use of castration is nothing."

Lou Xiyue glanced at him and asked, "It's your turn. Did you find anything over there?"

Fu Guan replied: "There are some clues." He then summarized the main points of the private conversation between Qi Yu and Nie Huaishen, and then said:

"What is certain is that this Qianjiao Garden is their base of contact. And half a month later, it will be the time when the prince and his gang will meet here."

Fu Guan analyzed calmly: "The geishas and the actors that the princess saw in the garden just now are the playthings Nie Huaishen prepared and gave to the guests."

He added: "Nie Huaishen once mentioned that those 'guests' had very strange habits. He was not willing to use the geishas he raised to please others, so he recruited some people from outside to receive the guests."

Shangguan explained: "His Royal Highness secretly entertained guests from all over the Qianjiao Garden. They were both Daxuan court officials and merchants. There must be another purpose." He thought of the unknown male corpse:

"Geishas, ​​actors, male corpses...what on earth were His Highness the Crown Prince and others doing in Qianjiao Garden, and what happened to cause death?"

He analyzed thoughtfully: "I have always known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the courtiers have always been close to each other. Now"

Lou Xiyue's thoughts moved slightly, and she secretly had a plan. At the same time, she glanced at Fu Guan and said, "You will know what the prince's intention is once you find out." Fu Guan met her eyes, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.

Shangguan explained: "What does the princess mean...when she is hosting a banquet in Qianjiao Garden, she will send someone to sneak into the garden to investigate?"

"Besides this, I wonder if Sir Shangguan has any other clever ideas?" Fu Guandao said: "Although Qianjiao Garden is recorded in Nie Huaishen's name, it is used as a place for the prince to have private relations with courtiers. It can be seen that Nie Huaishen only dared to rely on the prince's support behind him. Do whatever you want."

He added: "If you think about it more deeply, Nie Huaishen is no more than a mere minister. Even though the Nie family has been officials for generations and has a good reputation in the court, does he have the courage to commit the crime of private torture? Not to mention that there is a palace in the garden. The old eunuch in the middle holds the knife."

Fu Guan's meaning is obvious: "Looking back, who is the real master of Qianjiao Garden?"

Shangguan explained: "Ah? So, Qianjiao Garden is the property of His Highness the Crown Prince?" He frowned and said, "In this case, the Crown Prince's act of entertaining guests is even more suspicious."

As he spoke, he said with a solemn expression: "This matter is of great importance. We should express our feelings to the Holy One and ask the Holy One to make a decision!"

Lou Xiyue said: "This is natural. But don't forget, Sir Shangguan, we don't have any solid evidence at the moment. How can we present our case to the Holy One? Only when there are both human and material evidence can we ask the Holy One to make a decision." She said:

"Therefore, the best time to prove the prince's fault is to catch him when he is hosting a banquet with guests. Sir Shangguan should understand this, right?"

Shangguan Jie suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand." He clenched his fists tightly and said with a happy face, "Okay, then I will do as the prince and princess said! It's just..."

He asked again: "I wonder who the prince would like to appoint to investigate..."

Fu Guandao: "I have made my own decision about this. Someone will cooperate with Sir Shangguan at that time. In addition, Sir Shangguan is also asked to keep this secret and do not tell others about this plan. Otherwise, the success will be ruined. If you want to reveal the truth to the Holy Lord, it will be a disaster." It’s difficult.”

The superior officer explained: "This is natural. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will act with caution."

"Ah."

After that, the three of them discussed for a while, and soon Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan returned home.

Xuanping Prince's Mansion, side hall and flower hall.

"What do you think about the plan to explore Qianjiao Garden?" Lou Xiyue has always been direct. At this moment, she and Fu Guan are the only two in the hall, and she doesn't like to hide and tuck in:

"Are you planning to let Xuan Miao or Xuan Yi go, or is there someone else?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan looked at her intently, but smiled and said nothing.

Lou Xiyue: "..." She looked at the other party's focused eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but look at herself, and she didn't notice that the roots of her ears were slightly red: "What are you looking at me for? If you have anything to say, just say it."

She looked away and murmured: "It's so strange to be silent."

Fu Guan seemed to have heard her murmur: "It's not Xuan Miao, nor Xuan Yi, there is indeed another candidate. It's just that this candidate... I don't know if it will make you angry if I say it."

Lou Xiyue was surprised: "Why do you think I am a petty, narrow-minded person who gets angry easily? Who I am, the prince might as well say it clearly."

The last sound of "Prince" is full of yin and yang.

Fu Guan still smiled: "Hey, look, aren't you angry again?"

"You!" Lou Xiyue glared at him: "Will you tell me or not?"

Fu Guan finally stopped teasing her: "It was my fault, don't be impatient, don't be impatient - in this case, I wonder if Lou Nuxia, who is extremely skilled and chivalrous, is willing to take this trip?"
