Chapter 162 Hot Potatoes
Zhao Qingyi showed concern on his face, and said with a light smile, "Why don't you go in quickly? It's cold now, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Su Xiaowu looked him up and down slowly, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, the weather is very cold. I don't know where the little prince went when the night was quiet?"

An embarrassing look appeared on Zhao Qingyi's face, and he hesitated to speak.

Su Xiaowu snorted softly, although the corner of her mouth smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Could it be the beauty of the party? No wonder he insisted on coming tonight." The blue robe on his body was already covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, obviously staying outside for a long time.

Zhao Qingyi looked at Su Xiaowu in embarrassment, and just smiled silly.

With sharp ears, Su Xiaowu heard the sound of many people walking quickly outside the courtyard, but there was no other voice. She wondered why there were so many people patrolling Cold Moon Castle in the middle of the night.

Taking a few steps forward, Su Xiaowu patted Zhao Qingyi's shoulder mysteriously, and smiled meaningfully: "Could it be that Feng Feifei, right? Little prince, you are really brave!"

Zhao Qingyi coughed a few times, and hurriedly said: "The night is really late, Susu should go to bed early." After saying that, he dodged Su Xiaowu's hand and dodged into the left wing.

Su Xiaowu watched Zhao Qingyi's figure disappear into the darkness, and the smile on her face became more and more interesting.Shaking her head and thinking for a while, Su Xiaowu glanced at the brightly lit main house in the distance, dismissed her idea of ​​going to the pool to try her new ability, and pushed the door back to her wing.

I added some oil to the already dim oil lamp on the table, and the room regained some light.Su Xiaowu reached into her bosom and took out a small square book, carefully reading it under the light.

Hmph, want to lie to her?He is still tender.I already knew that this guy came to Cold Moon Castle out of uneasiness and good intentions, and actually went out to steal things in the middle of the night.If you don't admit to stealing things, you still want to rely on other girls.She has been with him for so long, and she hasn't seen him take out such a notebook before, so it must be stolen.

Su Xiaowu shook off the somewhat thin notebook in her hand, admiring herself with a sly smile for her ability to transfer objects instantly.Just now she took the opportunity to go up to tease Zhao Qingyi, and transferred the notebook in his arms to hers.Fortunately, Zhao Qingyi was afraid of being seen through by her at that time, so he didn't have any intention of guarding against her.And she didn't move her hands, so naturally he didn't notice that there was something missing in her arms.

This is... the ledger?
Su Xiaowu turned a page, and saw that there were rows and rows of uppercase numbers densely written on it in small, tiny characters.This should be the ledger, right?The ancients did not know how to use Arabic numerals, which is really inconvenient.Su Xiaowu looked carefully, and saw that the amount of each sum was extremely large, but the titles were written vaguely, many of which were written in cursive script, which she couldn't quite understand.

Is this the ledger for black market transactions?Or a transaction ledger for prohibited items?Su Xiaowu suddenly felt that the book in her hand was extremely heavy, and now there are two possibilities.The first one is that Zhao Qingyi is the owner of the notebook, and he went out so late for a transaction... But this doesn't make sense at all, and he didn't bring a huge amount of banknotes or any valuables with him - she had gone through it long ago .

Then there is the last possibility. He stole this ledger from Cold Moon Fort, and only Cold Moon Fort can operate such a huge amount.When she turned to the back cover of the ledger, she saw the seal of Cold Moon Castle.

Su Xiaowu suddenly remembered that she heard the dense footsteps outside the courtyard just now, presumably it was the servants of Cold Moon Castle who were patrolling or simply looking for the missing ledger.

She quickly extinguished the oil lamp, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness, and Su Xiaowu could only hear her slightly rapid breathing for a while.

Now no matter how you tell her that Zhao Qingyi doesn't know martial arts, she won't believe it.The nature of this ledger looks like extraordinary paper, and the names are all pseudonyms, which shows that the owner is cautious and must be hiding in a tightly guarded place.

Or it was also given to him by an insider, Su Xiaowu changed her mind and overturned her previous conjecture.If a high-ranking person wants to control suspicious forces, he must have some extraordinary means.It seems that this Zhao Qingyi is not as self-defeating and idle as he has shown.

But what about this ledger?Su Xiaowu's eyes adapted to the darkness in the room, and she looked down at the account book in her hand that had become a hot potato, regretting that she should have gotten it out of curiosity.Pay him back now?Or find a chance tomorrow and transfer it back to him?
But Zhao Qingyi is not a fool, so this is tantamount to confessing that she has read the account book.

The point is, she didn't know that the things in his arms were so important!And it seems to be involved in a lot, what if she returns this ledger to Hanyue Castle?Then she will have to explain where this thing came from, and maybe it will be destroyed.

Su Xiaowu got down on her body, knocked her head on the table depressedly, she really had nothing to do.

Wait, destroying corpses?Burn it... Su Xiaowu suddenly had this thought in her mind, stopped her self-torturing movements, and looked at the flint and steel on the table through the moonlight shining through the window paper.

Yes, it's all over once it's burned, Su Xiaowu looked at the ledger in her hand again, and sighed.What if this thing is very important?She said she would burn it, and it might be a matter of human life...

Su Xiaowu held her head and thought for a while, but decided to hide it first.According to her understanding these days, Zhao Qingyi is not serious, but his character is not bad.As for Hanyue Castle, she hasn't been in touch with it yet. She doesn't know anything about this incident. Why don't you observe it for a few more days before making a decision.

With a headache, she hid the account book close to her body, Su Xiaowu thought that she really had the physique to cause trouble.In the future, we should speak less and act cautiously!
--------

In the early morning of the next day, Su Xiaowu got up early, and when she walked out of the room, she found that Zhao Qingyi had already got up and sat in the front hall, with the breakfast prepared by Hanyuebao on the table.

Pretending to greet Zhao Qingyi naturally, Su Xiaowu sat across from him and observed him secretly.I saw Zhao Qingyi eating breakfast refreshedly, with a calm expression on his face.

Uh, the quieter you are, the more ghostly you are.Su Xiaowu apprehensively drank the warm soy milk, wondering if she should turn herself in.

"Susu, you didn't seem to sleep well last night!" Zhao Qingyi asked with a look of concern.

Su Xiaowu nodded, frowned slightly and said, "Yes, I'm not used to resting in such a luxurious place." Of course she didn't sleep well, the account book in her arms was like a big stone pressing on her heart, why? Maybe sleep well?

"By the way, what's the arrangement for today?" Su Xiaowu still decided to keep it a secret. It's an idiot who surrendered himself now, and he will definitely not be lenient in confessing. It's the smartest thing to pretend to be stupid.

Zhao Qingyi slowly wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and his movements were extremely elegant, "Just now the servant of Hanyue Castle came over and said, please go to the Xuchun Garden to enjoy the camellias after breakfast. The birthday banquet will be held at noon."

"Camellia?" Su Xiaowu raised her eyebrows. She remembered that half of the camellias were planted in Yunnan, that is, in the Dali area now. It is extremely difficult to cultivate good camellias in this Central Plains, and to the point where they can enjoy flowers. Difficult!
"Shallow is jade tea and deep is better than the sun, and the big day camellia and small trees are red." Zhao Qingyi smiled slightly on his lips, and looked at Su Xiaowu with deep meaning, "This season is when the camellias are in full bloom. What will happen to the camellia in Fortress?"
