The emperor in the imperial carriage looked at her as she entered: "......"

  Chu Ci sat opposite him on the couch, clearing her throat softly and saying shamelessly: "I, I don't feel safe sitting in a car by myself."

  Di Jun's eyebrows rose slightly, his expression straightforwardly conveying the message "Do you believe what you're saying?"

  So Chu Ci had no choice but to shamelessly change his words, "I want to ride in the same carriage as Your Highness."

  Fortunately, Emperor Yu ignored her this time and followed her wishes.

  After returning to the palace and having lunch, Emperor Xuan called her into the study and gave her a box.

  Chu Ci opened the box and took a look, then slightly froze.

  It's a very thin chain, inlaid with a moon-shaped filigree bead engraved with ghostly patterns, and at the center of the bead is a small flower bud that blooms like a bright red blood drop. It feels cool to the touch, smooth and delicate.

  Chu Ci raised her head dazedly and asked: "What is this? Is it for me?"

  The emperor just said lightly: "You wear it is."

  Although the tone was not very good and had a commanding tone, Chu Ci still chose to listen to him and put on the bracelet.

  She thought Di Lie wouldn't harm her.

  Emperor Di saw her put it on without hesitation, raised an eyebrow and stared at her for a while, then calmly turned back to the desk and sat down, saying slowly: "The Blue family has a concubine son named Lan Qianran, after going to Qingzhou, first go find him to understand some details of this case."

  Chu Ci nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

  She had also planned to go directly to her cousin Lan Qianran to get a lead at that time.

  After coming out of the bookcase, Chu Ci raised her hand to touch the bracelet on her wrist. The beads were shining with a beautiful luster under the moonlight, but for some reason, Chu Ci felt that something was a bit strange.

  This time, apart from Chu Ci, the ones who set out to Qingzhou to investigate the case were Cheng Qi and Su Chen. After all, it had been two years since the three old partners had gathered together to investigate a case. Cheng Qi seemed exceptionally excited. Just as they were about to depart, Chu Ci had just mounted his horse when he heard Cheng Qi shouting loudly beside him: "My heavens, Chu Ci, did you steal this from the Crown Prince's palace?"

  Chu Ci looked back and only then did she realize that Cheng Qi was pointing at the hand chain on her hand holding the reins, and couldn't help but frown to explain: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is something the prince gave me."

  Cheng Qi stared at her in disbelief: "How could the Crown Prince possibly give you something as important as the Star Luo Chain?!"

  Upon hearing the sound, Su Chen also rode over from behind and noticed the star-patterned chain on Chu Ci's hand. His eyes involuntarily sank slightly as he too looked at Chu Ci.

  "But Chu Ci looked puzzled: "Star Luo Chain?"

  "In the Qin dynasty, every crown prince had a protective treasure, didn't you know? The Star-Lo Chain is the crown prince's protective treasure. I've only seen it in paintings by palace artists before, this is my first time seeing the real thing! Legend has it that the Star-Lo Chain is divine, as long as you wear it, you can communicate with the person you're thinking of, and when necessary, you can also use it to defend against external enemies." Cheng Qi said excitedly.

  "Ah...... really?" Chu Ci looked down at the Xing Luo chain in her hand with some confusion, such a wonderful protective treasure, how could Emperor Chi just casually give it to her?
