Passing through the guards' patrol area, Su Lijin's figure flashed quickly, and in a flash, she entered the prison quietly.

The prison was heavily guarded, but at this moment, there weren't many people guarding it, and she felt a little puzzled.

After taking two steps, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of Ye Shuyin's cell. He couldn't help but pause and stop quietly.

"Is this... Xiao Zhaolin?" She recognized the voice and took a look in the dark, confirming that the person in brocade clothes who was trying to expound on her was Xiao Zhaolin.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhaolin arrived first.

"Your Highness, I really didn't kill anyone. It was that Mongolian attendant who did it himself. He committed suicide!"

Ye Shuyin was a little excited, grabbing the pillars of the cell until her fingers turned almost white.

"At that time, everyone saw your hand reaching out to his chest, and then he was stabbed and fell to the ground. Who would believe you when you said you didn't kill him?"

Xiao Zhaolin looked at Ye Shuyin with curiosity in his eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her expression.

Ye Shuyin desperately shook her head to deny it, tears streaming down her face. "He was the one holding my hand, and I couldn't pull it away... He really was committing suicide!"

"Then where did he get that knife?" Xiao Zhaolin asked.

Ye Shuyin shook her head helplessly: "I don't know..."

In the dark, Su Lijin nodded slightly.

However, the question now is where the dagger came from.

The Mongolian attendant was not allowed to bring a knife into the palace, so from this point of view, the knife was not brought in by him.

But if he didn't have a knife with him, did the knife appear out of thin air?

This is exactly what Su Lijin couldn't understand.

Xiao Zhaolin obviously didn't believe it, but he still said comfortingly: "Miss Ye, don't worry."

Ye Shuyin cried, "Your Highness, how can I not be anxious? I am now in prison. If I am charged with murder, I will be finished."

She regretted it so much. If she hadn't tried to show off and win back the game, this bad thing wouldn't have happened.

"As long as you refuse to admit it, the Mongols can't do anything to you. Remember this," Xiao Zhaolin warned.

Seeing Ye Shuyin agreed, he nodded and left.

Ye Shuyin sat on the ground exhausted. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and was startled. "Who's there?"

Su Lijin appeared: "Miss Ye, I am the assassin sent by Minister Ye to break out of the prison."

Staring at her, Ye Shuyin hurriedly stood up: "Did Dad ask you to come?"

"Minister Ye asked me to ask you, where did that knife come from?"

Su Lijin said.

She couldn't help but ask Ye Shuyin some questions, hoping to get some clues.

After asking a few more questions, Ye Shuyin didn't know the answer to any of them.

Su Lijin knew that she was probably really confused and ignorant, and she didn't want to delay any longer.

After thinking about it, she pretended to make some noise so that she could find an excuse to get away.

"who?"

"Someone broke into the prison!"

The jailers immediately rushed over here.

Su Lijin immediately leaped and escaped from the prison.

After coming out of the prison, Su Lijin began to concentrate on thinking.

"The focus now should be the knife."

"If we can prove that the knife was brought by the Mongolian attendant himself, then it can be proved that he really committed suicide."

Su Lijin studied it for a while, and her thoughts gradually became clearer.

She turned around and quietly walked out of the palace.

Su Lijin planned to leave the palace to study the matter and also to check on the development of Yaoyue Tower.

Over the past few days, she has invested a lot of manpower and resources in Yaoyue Tower, and now is the time to verify the results.

Arriving at Yaoyue Tower, Su Lijin looked up at the magnificent plaque and the elegant decorations at the door, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"I've been looking forward to today's performance for a long time."

"Isn't it? I heard that every woman in Yaoyue Tower possesses unique skills. It's definitely worth the trip!"

Guests came into Yaoyue Tower one after another and kept praising the place. When Su Lijin heard this, she felt extremely satisfied.

She walked around casually inside without attracting anyone else's attention.

The consumption on each table seems to be quite high.

Of course, more importantly, the people who come here are of all kinds, but almost all of them are either rich or noble, which makes it very easy to gather information.

Not bad, not bad.

Su Lijin nodded repeatedly and turned around with satisfaction.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard a sonorous introduction from the stage and couldn't help but pause.

"Everyone, today you're in for a feast for your eyes! Our magic show is about to begin!"

"Magic show?" Su Lijin was stunned. She didn't expect that a troupe of magicians would be invited here.

There was an immediate burst of applause from the audience.

Su Lijin looked towards the stage, where musicians were already playing music.

As the exciting and uplifting music played, several members of the troupe came out somersaulting.

This seems to be a fighting show.

They first fought for a while, and as they were fighting, one of them seemed to be about to stab one of them, and suddenly he took out a knife, but when the knife was about to stab, it suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on?"

This scene made Su Lijin's eyes widen, and something flashed in her mind.

The man holding the knife smiled at everyone, took out the knife hidden in his sleeve again, and then retracted the tip of the knife.

It turns out that the knife can be retracted!

Seeing this, Su Lijin's thoughts gradually became clear.

Suddenly realized.

She excitedly ran backstage and immediately handed a bag of silver to the troupe's owner: "Your performance was wonderful. Come with me to perform in the palace later."

The troupe leader was stunned at the heavy load of silver, then said happily, "Are you saying that the knife vanishing trick we just performed can really be brought into the palace?"

Su Lijin smiled and nodded, gave some instructions, and then returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Su Lijin quickly went to find Xiao Shengxing.

"Your Majesty, I heard there's a troupe out there that's giving a fantastic performance. How about inviting them to the palace to watch?"

She walked over calmly with a natural expression on her face.

"Theatre troupe?" Xiao Shengxing looked at her, a hint of doubt in his dark eyes. "When did the Queen become interested in the troupe?"

Su Lijin smiled faintly: "I heard that the troupe has a masterpiece, and everyone who has seen it is amazed."

"What is her specialty that even the Queen praises it so much?" Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that she kept talking about the opera troupe.

Seeing that he finally asked the question in the direction she hinted at, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Lijin's eyes.

She came here this time specifically to get Xiao Shengxing to agree to watch the performance.

"That specialty is related to the knife," she said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing's black eyes moved slightly, and he looked carefully at Su Lijin's expression. He saw that she was looking at him and smiling, but the smile at the corner of her lips obviously carried a hint of deep meaning.

"What does the Queen mean?" he asked tentatively.
