The emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's Wen Aiqing who knows me best!"
"Old minister is terrified!"
"That's all, this matter is not urgent. We will discuss it later... But Lao Qi has done really well recently and will resume his status as King Yu from now on!"
The emperor shook his sleeves and looked at Xia Lishuang with a meaningful look.
Xia Lishuang stiffened, but nodded her thanks and sat back next to Wen Ranran.
Wen Ranran bit her lip and hooked the other person's fingers with her little finger.
"What are you doing... If something like this happens, how can you still..."
Since the death of the eldest princess, Wen Changjin has taken charge of all officials at an extremely fast speed.
If the gold collar can dispel the emperor's concerns, then it will be a natural progression for Wen Ranran Ce to become the Princess.
But now, this suspicion has been buried, and the emperor has to suspect that the Wen family and Xia Lishuang are colluding.
The most important thing is to have great achievements and shock the master.
"I also know that this is inappropriate at this time, but I can't bear to let you suffer..."
Wen Ranran was touching and funny.
This small episode did not affect the progress of the banquet. Apart from the contemptuous looks cast by several noble ladies, Wen Ranran had no other emotions.
While the singing and dancing were going on, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
"Who is making a noise here?"
Eunuch Feng beside the emperor frowned and shouted.
After a while, the commotion stopped, and the guards brought in a bearded envoy from the State of Yan.
The Yan State envoy had a majestic figure, but one of his eyes had a bit of a mean look. As soon as he came in, he knelt down in the middle of the hall upright and upright.
"Please ask Emperor Rongguo to make the decision for our Yan country!"
The entire audience was shocked, even Xia Lishuang was stunned.
The envoy from Yan State had a very bad attitude, even a little angry.
The emperor said sternly, "Envoy, please don't panic. Please give us details."
"What else is there to say?! During this period, seven or eight people from our Yanguo Post House have disappeared! It must be some conspiracy of your Rongguo!"
The messenger was extremely angry and shouted in non-standard Chinese.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the envoys from Bin and Lan changed at the same time.
"Why are you here to congratulate me on this victory? It seems to me clearly... that you want to catch us all in one fell swoop. Because of your strength, you don't take us Yan people seriously. Do you really think that we don't dare to resist?!"
There was silence on the field. Wen Ranran sipped her wine and smiled in her heart.
He's quite good at sowing discord!
Suddenly remembering the previous investigation with Cheng Fenglou, Wen Ranran's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yan Guoren was strangled to death... This scene was like... like her first time testing the black stone!
She looked towards the prince sharply.
The prince lowered his head, looking a little guilty.
Wen Ranran immediately shook her head, confirming her suspicion.
Let alone the emperor, she would not be able to stand this prince.
No matter what he does, he is the first to deceive his father and cause internal strife.
It’s okay for Bin State to be a defeated country, but Lan State’s envoy was the first one to be unable to sit still.
"I dare to ask...Your Majesty Rongguo, this time we from Languo came to congratulate you with the attitude of friendly exchanges. Your Majesty...should you give us an explanation for this move?"
The emperor coughed and barely maintained his dignity.
He stood up and said solemnly, "We are extremely shocked when something like this happens. Please be patient! We will definitely give you justice."
"Lao Qi!"
"My son is here."
"You have always been responsible for this case. Lead people to investigate. We must find out the truth within three days!"
"yes!"
Xia Lishuang and Cheng Fenglou looked at each other, and they did not dare to delay.
"Please also ask the envoy to lead the way and take us to see the corpse first."
The first few corpses had been soaked in water, so no evidence could be found when they were discovered.
But today the envoy from the State of Yan came to report angrily. The reason was that another corpse was found in Ruyang Palace. It must be that there were too many people and the murderer had no time to deal with it.
Wen Ranran sat in front of the case and looked at Xia Lishuang's leaving figure, always feeling that something was not right.
