For a moment, Wen Ranran wanted to persuade her, but couldn't.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully later. If you two have nothing to do, you can go back home first!"
The emperor looked at Yuan Jurong's answer sheet and saw that he did not directly express his choice.
Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Wen Ranran didn't let out a deep breath until she left the palace.
Xia Lishuang on the side looked at Wen Ranran's worried look, touched her head, and said words full of relief.
"Don't worry. Although my father is sometimes a little suspicious, he will have his own considerations on such important matters."
Wen Ranran shook her head, "That's not what I'm worried about."
Xia Lishuang was stunned for a while, and then she realized, "Are you worried, Ji Zirou?"
Wen Ranran nodded.
The Ji family was really a big family back then, but in the end it came to a withered end.
The death of former Queen Ji He became the final straw for the Ji family.
"You mean that the prince probably faked his death and then went to the old members of the Ji family for help?"
"More than that, I heard from Grandpa Ji's old family that back then, it was said that their family was divided into pieces, but one of them was demoted to the southwest."
There was a hint of worry on Wen Ranran's face.
Xia Lishuang understood almost immediately and continued what Wen Ranran said.
"The southwest is the fiefdom of the King of Shu. Now wars are raging. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that they will use Yu Zheng's army returning to the court as a vanguard and trap the opponent to death on the battlefield in order to reduce the imperial court's military strength, and even raise troops in the future.
Conspiracy is not impossible!"
Wen Ranran nodded, with a sigh in his eyes.
Xia Lishuang thought for a while, her brows still furrowed, but she comforted Wen Ranran.
"Actually, there is no need to worry. Even if Ji Zirou is really careful and well-prepared, the emperor has always wanted to cut down the vassal. Therefore, Miss Yuan has no chance of winning. If you want to know the whereabouts of the prince, there is a person now.
I can ask."
Wen Ranran looked up and almost immediately understood who Xia Lishuang was talking about.
The former Minister of the Ministry of War is currently staying in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
If the prince really faked his death, he would surely be able to find out some clues from the other party.
However, the only troublesome point is that Fang Su is a very tough nut to crack.
Cheng Fenglou and Xia Lishuang jointly reviewed the case for several days, but no results came out.
Wen Ranran returned home and changed into regular clothes. After briefly washing herself, she followed Xia Lishuang directly to the Ministry of Punishment.
Before entering the door, I felt a chilling air, followed by Cheng Fenglou's hurried figure.
"No! Fang Su was in prison and committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
Wen Ranran was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Isn't it right? Just when she was about to be interrogated, the person disappeared?!
What the hell is this?
"Is it suicide?" Xia Lishuang's face was as dark as water.
Cheng Fenglou looked ugly, nodded and shook his head.
"The imperial doctor just came here for an examination. It was because Fang Su himself was allergic to soybeans and accidentally ingested the hair substance, so..."
Wen Ranran sighed. Just by Cheng Fenglou's words, she knew that the cause of Fang Su's death might not be clear.
You know, how many people come into contact with a bowl of prison food, and the source cannot be traced at all.
As for Fang Su, he was actually only a few days away from being beheaded. At this time, it was absolutely reasonable to say that he committed suicide out of fear of crime.
It's just...this timing is such a coincidence.
Just when she was about to investigate, someone happened to be dead?
Wen Ranran doesn't even believe in the miserable attributes of Wen Ranran who can't even drink water, let alone others.
"However, what is certain is that if I decided before that the possibility of the prince cheating to death was 80%, then now it has reached 99%!" A sharp light flashed in Xia Lishuang's eyes, "The other party thought that he would kill to silence him, so he
