Fortunately, Yan returned home on the right day, and his servants hurriedly told him.Stepping into the house, the parents' concern was palpable. When asked about Shen Du's unaccompanied affairs, Yan Xing came to Shen Du's rescue in a gentle way.The fourth sister, Yan Yijiao, returned at the right time, with a happy face, showing off the love of her husband's family and the joy of raising a child.Not to be outdone, Yan Xing cleverly counterattacked with the fifth brother's romantic affair, and the atmosphere in the family became tense for a while.

At this moment, Shen Du appeared unexpectedly, and Yan Xing was pleasantly surprised. She never expected that he would come to the door in person.Shen Du's arrival undoubtedly added a bit of warmth and surprise to this family gathering, and also made Yan Xing feel warm.

Shen Du's visit not only gave Yan Xing face, but also made the Yan family feel honored.He spoke sincerely, praising Yan Xing's virtue and blaming himself for being late, which aroused everyone's goodwill.Shen Du generously gave valuable gifts to the Yan family, especially Yan Kuo's preferences, and gave him fine tea. He also praised Yan Xing as a good wife through the words of Princess Yong'an, which made Yan Xing feel warm in his heart.

During the dinner, Shen Du accidentally saw Pan Yan's handwriting. Yan Kuo hurriedly explained that he had copied it. Yan Xing was also confident and said with a smile that there was no father in the world who could not copy his handwriting.Yan Kuo kindly invited Shen Du to have dinner with him. Yan Xing wanted to decline, but Shen Du readily agreed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Yan Xing secretly planned to search for the carrier pigeon, but he was blocked by a vicious dog on the way. Shen Du came after hearing the news, but secretly speculated that Yan Xing might be involved in secrets.The housekeeper brought a gauze curtain to Yan Xing, but Shen Du suddenly split it. Yan Xing felt mixed emotions and lamented that Shen Du's temperament was unpredictable.Shen Du teased Yan Xing in the name of serving, but Yan Xing tried to get closer, but was rejected by him.Due to Shen Du's mysophobia, Yan Xing felt naughty and deliberately got closer. Shen Du had no choice but to back away repeatedly. The subtle interaction between the two added a bit of fun and warmth to this daily life.

In the morning, as soon as Yan Xing woke up, she learned that Shen Du was going to Xilin Temple, and she followed him without hesitation.Arriving at Xilin Temple, a strange thing came into view - the undried word “blood” suddenly appeared on the wall. After Shen Du took a closer look, he found that it was actually painted with cinnabar. It was obvious that the murderer had premeditated it and intended to provoke.Yan Xing knew very well that only by going deep into the Ministry of Punishment could he uncover the truth.

Returning to the Criminal Department, Yan Xing met Director Wu by chance. The other party was quite surprised by her return and even teased her for taking the initiative to mop the floor.When her colleague Lu Chuichui saw this, he mistakenly thought that she was unhappy with Shen Du and asked privately about the reason. Yan Xing could only smile bitterly and mentioned that he was in a detailed position, which made Lu Chuichui amazed.

While Yan Xing was busy, bad news came. The master was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as soon as he entered the city.She was so anxious that she put down her work and went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Jing Lin stopped her.Shen Du appeared at the right time, and Yan Xing became emotional and asked Shen Du if he had implicated his master.However, the truth made her ashamed. It turned out that the master was specially invited by Shen Du to assist in the investigation.Shen Du also carefully told the master to drink less. This scene made Yan Xing feel mixed emotions.

The purpose of Shen Du's trip was clear: to understand the properties of cinnabar developed by Master Yan Xing.After Yan Xing heard this, he suddenly realized that the mystery of the deceased's death time may be related to this.She quickly ended the chess game and examined the body with her master, finally confirming the impact of cinnabar on the time of death.What is even more shocking is that the master found Xichen courgette seeds in the stomach of the deceased man. These seeds can only be eaten on the first sunny day, and the next sunny day will be exactly three days later, which indicates that the murderer is about to take action.Yan Xing and Shen Du looked at each other, knowing that the decisive battle was approaching.

Shen Du rushed to see the Empress Dowager, but unexpectedly met Lai Luo Zhi, and received a three-day order to solve the case.Yan Xingze met with Zhang Xiang, who denied involvement in the case and revealed that the number of pigeon cages increased, which was suspected to confuse the public.At the same time, Prime Minister Zhang warned Yan Xing that time was tight and he needed to act quickly.

The Empress Dowager was absent-mindedly playing chess with Zhang Baohuan and mentioned the guest list for Kaiyang Day. In fact, it was Xu Wan's request to target the person who knew the formula of cinnabar.Yan Xing proposed to disguise himself as a musician to lure the enemy, but Shen Du firmly opposed it and was worried about his safety.Yan Xing did not want innocent people to suffer, so he insisted on his own opinion, and even revealed his pipa skills. Although he only had a superficial knowledge, Shen Du was impressed.

In order to improve his skills, Yan Xing returned home and asked his mother for advice. Her mother laughed and said that the key was in manners rather than piano skills, mistakenly thinking that Yan Xing wanted to use this to please Shen Du.Yan Xing had no choice but to turn to his uncle for help, vowing to uncover the truth and protect the innocent, but at the same time he was unwilling to put Shen Du in danger.Although the two have different opinions, they are both concerned about each other's safety, and their emotions quietly heat up amidst the tense situation.
