Therefore, even if the Emperor allowed them to marry early, it was impossible to carry out. Besides, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had already chosen a date for them, set after the Double Ninth Festival in September. Who could change that?
"Well, there's nothing we can do," Huangfu Lingyao said, looking disappointed.
However, being of a 'childish nature', his attention quickly shifted. He pinched a piece of crispy rice and fed it to her, saying, "Wife, I have a question for you!"
Liu Shimei asked in confusion, "What question?"
Huangfu Lingyao stared into her eyes, unwavering, and said, "I heard you talking to Ninth Brother this morning. You were investigating your brother's case, right?"
He rarely looked so serious, which was a bit amusing.
After eating the crispy rice he fed her, Liu Shimei fed him one in return and replied, "Yes, you heard right. I suspect my brother was killed by someone, so I want to find out the truth."
