"I heard that the Prince Regent likes painting and calligraphy, as expected."

Master Wan Fang walked forward quickly and looked at the "Distant Mountain Picture" hanging on the wall.

"This beautiful painting "Distant Mountain Picture" was accidentally bought by this Official and moved from the bookstore where it belonged to.

It gives a more elegant look to this Account Room.

Does the Prince Regent also like this painting?"

"Although the author of this painting is anonymous, the artistic conception is high and ethereal, the brushwork is steady and remote, and the aura is overflowing.

It is worthy of appreciation."

Murong Yu praised.

"Since the Prince Regent likes it, later I'll arrange it to be sent to the Royal Palace."

Master Wan Fang said.

"A gentleman shouldn't seize things which another treasures."

Murong Yu turned to the table, took a book of accounts and quickly flipped through it.

Murong Ci saw that Master Wan Fang, Master Wang Tao and the others' nervousness and anxiety eased, and realized that these files and account books on the table were all superficially whitewashed, and there was no problem for them to check them.

She also took a book and looked at it.

As expected, every item in the record has a trace to follow and is very formal.

After reading it for a while, Murong Yu put down the account book and went out.

She also followed outside.

Master Wan Fang, Master Wang Tao and the others secretly exhaled and raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

After spending a few more minutes in the Main Hall, Murong Yu and Murong Ci bid farewell, and Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao sent them to the outside respectfully, and completely relieved.

Master Wan Fang patted his hands and narrowed his eyes squeezing into small slits on his fat face.

"They found nothing, right?"

Master Wang Tao was worried,

"Although the Royal King is wise, he shouldn't be able to tell."

Master Wan Fang nodded,

"If the Royal King really saw anything, he would have already taken us down."

Master Wang Tao said anxiously:

"Master Wan, I have a bad feeling that something is not right. It's better..."

Master Wan Fang glanced at him, and his gaze suddenly sharpened,

"Why not? If this matter is known by the Royal court, you and I would have to face the death penalty of beheading."

....

On the carriage, Murong Ci was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood—

Murong Yu was sitting on the right side, drinking her tea and pastries.

'Didn't Murong Yu come with his horse?

Why did he run into my carriage?

He also kicked Qin Ruo outside and forced her to sit outside the carriage...

This man really thinks of himself as the master of everything and is acting so leisurely...'

"Have you seen any weirdness?"

Murong Yu asked casually.

"The Military Supervisor Facility has many secrets, but they hid them well."

She curled her lips coldly.

"What's your plan?"

he asked again.

"What's the plan of the Prince Regent?"

"Dig out the secrets they are hiding."

"How to dig?"

"This King hasn't thought about it yet."

Murong Yu took a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to her,

"It tastes good."

"No, thanks....."

Murong Ci would never eat the pastry that was touched by his hand.

'With his wisdom and scheming, how could he not think about it?

He's clearly just not telling me on purpose.'

He gracefully put the mung bean cake into his mouth,

"Do you think Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao are those behind the murder of Chief Zhou Huai?"

Thinking of the those two panicked faces, she said nauseated,

"It is very possible, but there is no evidence."

After a long time of silence, Murong Yu suddenly said,

"Your Royal Highness should not investigate the secrets of the Military Supervisor."

"Why?"

"This King is worried that Your Royal Highness will be killed in the people of the Military Inspector."
