Chapter 438 Someone Can't Sit Still

"King qin nan had seen ji yun but did not make a big move. Either everything went according to their original plan, or the way they contacted the department was too secretive to be discovered by us." Su Mianyue tapped her fingers on the table, doing this every time she thought about something, but she never knew it.

"King qin nan has endured so many years of inaction and will never raise an army to rebel at this time. With his personality, he should be able to find a way to get a few birds out of the way. One is to spy on our strength, the other is to diminish our strength and his enemies." Ji Xun's fingertips moved, but it hit the back of Su Mianyue's hand, even if the conversation was still trying to flirt.

Without noticing Ji Xun's small movements, Su Mianyue nodded and said, "Let's keep an eye on that pub, and the post house should be cleared up. If any prince dies in the post house, it will make these people make a big fuss."

Ji Xun nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the eunuch report to Minister of Dali Temple for an interview.

Ji Xun frowned. It was time for the palace gate to close, and something important must have happened if the officials wanted to enter the palace for an audience.

"I'll go inside and rest for a while." Su Mianyue got up and went to bed without waiting for Ji Xun to speak. Although the sound of the outside could be heard from inside, it was different from meeting the foreign minister directly.

Ji Xun did not ask Su Mianyue to stay. It was not that he cared about the words that the harem did not want to do politics, but that he wanted to be less obstructed when they were together.

"See your highness the crown prince." Minister of Dali Temple went into the room and knelt down, but he looked nervous.

"What happened?" Ji Xun asked directly.

"King zhou xiang was killed in the post house and the scene has been sealed off. However, king zhou xiang died in a secret room, and the guards outside the house did not hear any unusual sounds. Now all the princes are asking for advice in king zhou xiang's courtyard, and the incompetent officials can only come to ask for the crown prince's orders." Minister of Dali Temple spoke so quickly that it was obvious that he was anxious.

The crease between Ji Xun's eyebrows deepened a little. This news was definitely not a good thing for him. After thinking for a moment, he said coldly, "Go back and do your work. If you can't find out the cause of king zhou xiang's death in three days, then bring your head to see gu."

"Your highness, your highness..." Minister of Dali Temple's face turned pale again, but ji xun did not give him a chance to plead.

"If you think three days is too long, then investigate the case before sunset tomorrow, or you will bear the consequences." Ji Xun's voice was low.

"Your highness, your highness, I will definitely solve this case within three days. Please give me some time. Even if I have three heads and six arms before sunset tomorrow, I won't be able to investigate this case." Minister of Dali Temple knelt and kowtowed, his body trembling.

Ji Xun coldly glanced at Minister of Dali Temple and asked, "Since the qing family is so confident, then give the orphans a truth in three days, give Prince Xiang a justice, and let the kings rest assured."

Minister of Dali Temple hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. Seeing that Ji Xun had closed his eyes to recuperate, he did not dare to say anything more about inviting Ji Xun to appease the princes. He quickly took a few steps back before leaving. Now, time was their family's life and they could not afford to delay it.

As soon as Minister of Dali Temple left, Su Mianyue went to his original position and sat down. Seeing that Ji Xun's brows were still frowning, he reached out to smooth the creases between his brows and said softly, "It seems that someone can't sit still and wants to disturb our vision, but there are some benefits to doing so. At least it can help us solve some problems."

"You are optimistic." Ji Xun smiled bitterly. No matter who did it, it would take some trouble to get rid of any eyesore this time.

"It's not my own people who died. Do I have to feel sorry for them?" Su Mianyue curled his lips and said, "Most of these people have rebellions. One dies and one dies. Sooner or later, trouble will come. It depends on how we make use of it."

"Yue has an idea?" Ji Xun asked, amused. The best thing about being with Su Mianyue was that it was easy to face the most difficult things.

"I do have an idea, but your highness, the crown prince, will have to go out with me to take a look at the moon tonight." Su Mianyue smiled mischievously, raised his hand and flicked it on Ji Xun's forehead, "Let's go. Change into your night clothes first, so that you don't expose yourself to your fellow travelers without waiting for a fight."

As he spoke, he took Ji Xun's hand and walked towards the inner chamber, whispering to Ji Xun as he walked, laughing a few times, mischievously letting the moon cover his face and hide in the clouds.

There was another incident with the prince in the post house, and this time there was still a murder. It was spread all over Imperial Capital in less than an hour. When the people were in fear, those thieves could even kill the prince. It was not easy to kill them.

Most people would not ponder the conspiracy behind Prince Xiang's death. All they wanted was a peaceful and stable life.

At the request of Minister of Dali Temple, all the vassals finally left Prince Xiang's courtyard.

The Dali Temple's government officials did not dare to blink as they guarded the scene of the crime and Prince Xiang's subordinates. As for the nine men and the Imperial Guard, they were on heightened alert for fear that another murder would happen, and they would all have to follow suit.

As for Prince Xiang's death, only his confidant was uneasy and angry, but not sad. The others were worried that he would not be the next. Poor Prince Xiang died for a few hours, but no one gave him a stick of incense.

Ji Xun and Su Mianyue came to the house where Prince Xiang lived before he died. Because the people of the Dali Temple were guarding outside, it was convenient for them to look, but they could not make light, so they could only look through the night.

Ji Xun was in charge of checking Prince Xiang's body, while Su Mianyue was in the house looking for clues about whether they had been left behind. The two of them were busy with a cup of tea and then left. Even ji xun did not notice that Su Mianyue had quietly put something in the corner before he left.

The next day when Minister of Dali Temple came to investigate the case again, he saw Guard Huang beside Ji Xun, who should be called Commander Huang now, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, and quickly went forward to salute and ask, "I don't know if Commander Huang is here, but his highness the crown prince has an order?"

Minister of Dali Temple's official position was above Commander Huang's because the other party was Ji Xun's confidant. He was now the same as putting his head on the item, and he did not dare to be too big. However, Commander Huang also knew how to avoid this salute and said, "Your highness ordered your subordinates to assist your excellency in solving the case. Everything is at your command."

Although Commander Huang was being polite, Minister of Dali Temple was still under a lot of pressure. Was he afraid that he would be incompetent so he sent someone to supervise him?

Feeling uneasy, Minister of Dali Temple said politely, "Commander Huang, please."

The two of them staggered into the courtyard and tried Prince Xiang's subordinates, but the results were as clueless as yesterday.

The two of them came to the scene of the crime again. In order to make up for it, Minister of Dali Temple had to have the room searched again and personally told Commander Huang the clues found yesterday.

After hearing this, Commander Huang frowned and said, "Mr. Qin only had this room searched. Neither the bedroom nor the two rooms next door had been searched?"

Minister of Dali Temple was stunned and subconsciously shook his head, "The murder happened in this room, and the room was closed..."

Before he could finish speaking, Minister of Dali Temple's face turned pale. He quickly ordered people to search the inner bedroom and the two rooms on both sides, and to dig three feet to avoid any missing clues.
