C72 Part1

....

In the end, Murong Ci reluctantly boarded the carriage.

If she hadn't followed his instructions, he would have forced her to ride anyway, and the result would have been the same in the end.

'Besides, Zhou Huai is dead and Murong Yu happened to come here from the city...

But isn't it strange?'

The two horse-drawn carriages turned and drove back into the city.

The wheels rotated and rotated, as they passed through the woods on the outskirts, which were as silent as death.

A slender beam of sunlight poured in, and her beautiful face that was sinking in the shadow of Murong Yu, suddenly brightened, as crystal clear as glass.

"Why did Zhou Huai die?"

He asked indifferently.

"He was dying with a knife in his abdomen. When this Prince asked him what happened, he was cut and killed with a poisonous dart."

She stated briefly.

"Did you see the person who shut his mouth clearly?"

"This Prince only saw the dark shadow flash, and the person disappeared.

He did a good job."

Murong Ci asked tentatively,

"The Prince Regent was also going to the Military Supervisor?"

He nodded, with his eyebrows sinking like water,

"This King got a tip, that there were weird changes in the Facility of the Military Supervisor.

Your Royal Highness also received the tip before heading there?"

Her slender eyebrows sank, and her voice was cold,

"Unfortunately, Zhou Huai was killed before he could tell who committed the crime."

'But this also shows that there is a big problem with the Military Supervisor, and the water isn't shallow either.'

Murong Yu said coldly:

"You saw Zhou Huai die with your own eyes, and the most likely responsible should reside in the Military Supervisor.

They would guess that you will investigate the matter, and they will take precautions and have already covered up the suspicious things."

She restrained her anger,

"Then no longer cover up.

What is the information that you received?"

A small ray of sunlight flickered on his eyebrows, like a shining pearl in the night,

"Illegal selling of Military weapons"

She had just asked him casually, but she hadn't expected him to actually say it, and was taken aback.

However, she soon realized that he also had sent people to spy on the movements at the Military Supervisor all year round.

"What's your plan?"

Murong Yu asked lightly.

"I have no plans.

I just need to rationalize my thoughts first.

What plans does the Prince Regent have?"

Murong Ci asked rhetorically.

"The Military Supervisor's affairs are not simple.

It will take time to see through the situation."

She chuckled inwardly.

Just like her, he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts and plans.

The sunlight flickered, and his austere facial features were as carved as sculptures, gathering the gorgeous beauty of the world.

When they arrived at the Dali Temple, Shen Zhiyan inspected Zhou Huai's body:

Zhou Huai suffered two fatal injuries, one was a knife in his abdomen and the other was his throat.

In fact, when Murong Ci spoke to Zhou Huai, he could only barely breathe and he was bound to die anyway.

However, the person who was hiding in the darkness was anxious to silence his mouth, to accelerate Zhou Huai's death and prevent him from speaking.

Afterwards, Master Gu Huai personally sent Murong Yu away, and Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan came to the inner courtyard wing.

Shen Zhiyan poured two cups of tea and smiled elegantly,

"Your Royal Highness thinks that Zhou Huai was killed by someone from the Military Supervisor?"

She nodded, picked up the teacup and drank it,

"Zhou Huai should have discovered someone's secret and escaped from the Facility of the Military Supervisor, but he alarmed that person and was eventually killed."

He agreed, and his voice said coldly,

"Selling Military weapons illegally or to the enemy is considered like treason!

That person is so bold!"

"There are three people in charge of the Military Supervisor, including Master Wan Fang, Master Cheng Wang Tao, and the Chief, Master Zhou Huai.

Those who dared to sell Military weapons privately, either Wanfang or Wang Tao, must have some control over the Military equipment."

"Your Royal Highness analyzed it very well.

However, the crime of selling Milirary weapons is extremely heinous.

So even if there is a real incident, the person involved will never plead guilty."

"This matter needs to be investigated secretly.

But first, this Prince wants to go to the Facility of the Military Supervisor tomorrow's morning.

We can go together."

"Tomorrow morning I will wait for you at the entrance of the Dali Temple."

Shen Zhiyan smiled.

The two chatted a few more words, and Murong Ci left afterwards.

The road from the Dali Temple to the East Palace was neither too far or too near.

She thought it would be a smooth trip, but she didn't expect to meet Princess Duanrou again.

Princess Murong Shi, who had been dumped before, decided to go to the Dali Temple to find Shen Zhiyan.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, she saw His Highness' carriage again.

She chased after it in surprise,

"Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness..."

The streets were busy and bustling.

Upon hearing this scream, passers-by turned their heads and looked.

'The girl looks like a rich lady, so why is she chasing a carriage?'

'Your Highness...?

Is it possible to be an admirer of His Royal Highness?'

'Oh, there are some girls who actually like that "Straw-bag Prince"...'

Qin Ruo recognized the voice of Princess Duanrou and told the coachman not to stop, so the carriage that had slowed down for a moment started running so fast that it disappeared in the dust.

So Murong Shi chased after it and ran as fast as she could on the street.

She didn't want to give up just yet!

She gritted her teeth and ran, but in the end, she couldn't catch up with the carriage.

Her legs became so numb that she didn't have any strength left before she stopped and almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
