After seeing Cheng Jiayue and Su Mulang off, Jiang Wanyan sat down next to Su Mu Qing: "The situation is complicated, do we have to leave this muddy water?"

Su Mu Qing's expression was cold and solemn as he enunciated each word clearly, "He is not willing to let me go, so why should I cower?"

Su Muchang's grudge with Su Mu Qing sounded too complicated, it was not something that could be explained in one or two sentences, but for his own blood brother to have a grudge with him, Su Muchang must have long treated the Imperial Concubine Wen as his biological mother.

"If Su Muchang were to inherit the throne, do you think we would still be able to live?" Su Mu Qing suddenly smiled at her, "I had this plan since a long time ago. Qing Yi also existed to protect her life. Since it still exists, I should use all my strength."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a cold female voice coming from outside the door, "Your Highness, we've caught them."

Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, Su Mu Qing had already sat up and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Jiang Wanyan had thought that a group of people would come in, but it was only Gao Lanxuan who came in. She knelt in front of the door and did not raise her head: "I've already controlled myself. Since when did the prince want to meet someone?"

Su Mu Qing then asked another question, "How is the investigation into the massacre of the village going? Is it Su Muchang's doing? What's his motive for doing this? "

Gao Lanxuan's eyes flashed for a moment, and then she lowered her head even further, "Subordinate has yet to find any definite evidence. Your Highness, please forgive me."

It was indeed hard to find. In the entire village, not a single person was left alive, not even a single breakthrough point. Qing Yi couldn't find any clues, which showed that this matter was definitely not done on a whim.

If we capture them, they will be even more careful. You guys have to be careful too, don't have too many casualties, get He Pao to help you, and let go of what you have on your hands. Su Mu Qing instructed calmly. He had already recovered and his expression was no longer as ugly as before.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." She had been working for Su Mu Qing for many years and knew Su Mu Qing's temperament. Back then, when the carriage was in trouble, according to the customs of the Qing Yi organization, as long as there was no danger to their lives, they did not have to show themselves.

If he let that person run away, Su Mu Qing might really be angry at him.

"Have you examined it?" Su Mu Qing continued to ask.

Only then did Gao Lanxuan slowly raise her head. It was the woman who had entered the palace the other day and was about to be assassinated to save Jiang Wanyan. Jiang Wanyan's pupils contracted.

"This subordinate has examined him and he was very stubborn. He didn't say anything, but checked his entire body and collected everything that could be fatal. He hid poison in his nails and wanted to commit suicide. In a moment of desperation, this subordinate cut off one of his hands." Gao Lan Xuan said this with a special tone

Calm, calm as if she wasn't the one who did this. She was just calmly telling a story about someone else.

Su Mu Qing, however, did not reprimand him. "Watch carefully. Tomorrow morning, I will personally interrogate them. There's no need to torture yourself tonight."

"Yes." After Gao Lanxuan responded, she left. However, Jiang Wanyan could see something else from her gaze just now.

Gao Lan Xuan seemed to be hiding something.

However, she had a master-servant relationship with Su Mu Qing for so many years, so Su Mu Qing should know more about it. If she were to say it like that, wouldn't Su Mu Qing feel that she was provoking their master-servant relationship?

After weighing the pros and cons again, Jiang Wanyan still decided to give it a try: "She's Qingyi's leader?"

Su Mu Qing nodded slightly. "Gao Lan Xuan was one of the first to follow me and had participated in the construction of Qingyi. Now that she has developed into an intelligence network, Gao Lan Xuan has done a great service."

From his tone, it seemed that he was a senior level character.

"I saw that her eyes were dodging just now. Is she injured?" Jiang Wanyan asked out of the side of her mouth. However, Su Mu Qing shook his head with a smile and said no, telling her not to think too much into it.

When she had reported the intelligence previously, she had felt that her master was overly pampered by the Princess of Qiang. Now, he had even mentioned the name of the secret organization, He Pao.

She just couldn't understand. Why?

However, she had no way to keep her mouth shut for her master's matters. She could only stay and keep an eye on Jiang Wanyan. If Jiang Wanyan did anything rash, she would definitely tie her up immediately!

After Gao Lanxuan left, Jiang Wanyan didn't say anything else. Su Muqing knew that it was good as long as she knew. Since his hand was injured, even Jiang Wanyan didn't dare to sleep next to him.

"It's been a while. It's fortunate that it didn't break. Don't move again. Be careful. Lie down and feel better." She frowned as she pushed Su Mu Qing back onto the bed and covered him with the blanket, nagging him. Su Mu Qing just smiled as he listened to her, and occasionally echoed her words. In the end, Jiang Wan Yan's voice got softer and softer.

"I'm going back to my room. Go to sleep." After working hard for the whole day, Jiang Wan Yan sighed. Ever since she married into the Xia Kingdom, she had fallen into a huge trap. The more she struggled, the more suffocating it became.

It was rare for Su Mu Qing to not keep her, he just told her to rest well.

After Jiang Wan Yan went out of the room, she saw Zhang Rui anxiously circling around her. Seeing Jiang Wan Yan come out, she quickly went over and asked: "Royal Consort, has the Prince fallen asleep yet?"

Jiang Wanyan nodded: "It's time to go to sleep. You should get some rest as well. There won't be any major problems."

Zhang Rui then let out a sigh of relief and laughed: "That's good, our Duke has been through many calamities and has a tough life, even Duke Yan cannot take it away."

After she finished speaking, she was about to send Jiang Wanyan back to her room. Jiang Wanyan waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to trouble her.

The Wang Mansion road at night was still as difficult to identify as before. Jiang Wanyan finally walked down this road and felt very confident in herself.

Before she even entered her own yard, a person suddenly came out from the shade of a tree at the entrance of her yard. Jiang Wan Yan was wearing a dress and tripped over herself, but that person covered her mouth and dragged her under the shade of the tree.

In the Royal Mansion, Jiang Wanyan did not panic, nor did she struggle much. Su Muqing had just been injured, and she firmly believed that Qingyi's men were definitely surrounding the Prince's Mansion, but this time, the person holding her back was a little puzzled. He loosened his grip and coldly said: "Pretend to remain calm, what kind of trick are you playing?"

Jiang Wanyan slowly turned her head and sighed. It really was her.
