The jailer then breathed a sigh of relief and happily followed one of the guards.

After sending the jailer away, Xiao Yanli turned his head to look at Bol: "Prince Bol, is there anything else?"

Although there was a smile in his eyes, Bolton felt a chill run down his spine. "Nothing. I just heard that person making a fuss and thought that if the Sixth Prince needed help, I could still lend a hand. Now that nothing is happening, that's the best. I'll go back to the palace and not disturb the Sixth Prince any more."

Xiao Yanli bowed and said, "Then I won't see you off."

Paul returned the salute, turned around and mounted his horse.

When his figure became increasingly distant, Xiao Yanli took a deep breath and said, "Go and find out what happened today."

"yes."

The guard took the order and left. Xiao Yanli turned around and entered the Zuiyue Cage.

He went straight into an inner room on the third floor, turned the mechanism beside the bed, and the bed board was lifted up, revealing a secret room inside.

He jumped down, and the woman in red in the secret room heard the noise and immediately turned around.

It's half makeup.

Banzhuang's vigilant look disappeared immediately when she saw the newcomer. She half-knelt on the ground and said, "Master."

"Come on, is there any news recently?"

"Only with the Second Prince. He's been getting too close to Tan Luan lately. I heard they were discussing Buddhism and converted several people. Now, some people are spontaneously following them, and the number of people is growing day by day. Do you want to..."

"No need," Xiao Yanli knew what she was about to say and interrupted her, "His goal has never been the throne. There's no need to focus on him."

"yes."

"Liu Liu, hurry up and make arrangements. Prince Bol hasn't set foot in the Drunken Moon Cage in the past few days?"

"Except today, I have not seen Prince Bol."

This Bol really isn't interested in women, so I have to think of another way.

Xiao Yanli pressed his eyebrows.

Originally, his best partner would have been Malzahar. His poisonous insects would have provided him with considerable assistance in ascending to the throne. However, now...

Whenever he thought of Malzahar, Jiang Zhiyu's figure appeared in his mind again.

There must be someone behind her who is directing her!

Perhaps, it was He Yanting!

…

When Xiao Yanli returned to the prince's mansion, the guards in charge of the investigation had also figured out the whole story.

He knelt before Xiao Yanli and reported, "This morning, word suddenly spread that Miss Song was planning to murder the eldest and third daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I investigated the source and found it was a few beggars on the street. They said a woman bought them candy and taught them to say so."

"Have you found out who that woman is?"

"No, we only know that it was a maidservant in the Prime Minister's residence." The guard paused, "It seems that she was the one who reported the case to the authorities. The people from the Dali Temple went directly to Miss Song's residence and took her away."

"After the court session, Prime Minister Jiang also went to the Dali Temple once, but he didn't bring anyone out. Until now, there has been no movement from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xiao Yanli stood in front of the table, on which was spread a letter written in blood by Song Shiwei. He ran his fingers over each word one by one. When he heard the guard say that there was no movement, his fingertips stopped and tapped the table.

The guards waited quietly, but Xiao Yanli's mind was in turmoil.

This shouldn't be the case. According to Jiang Zhaorong's usual personality, he must be anxious to save Song Shiwei. How come he hasn't made any move until now?

The same goes for the Dali Temple. When Jiang Zhaorong first asked for the person, the Dali Temple should have released him. This matter is big and small. The Prime Minister went to see the person in person. Shi An should have released Song Shiwei on the grounds of family affairs. Why did he detain him and put him in jail?

Xiao Yanli lowered his eyes.

"Go and bring the messenger here. I have something to ask him."

But in the blink of an eye, the guards brought the jailer in. The jailer knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"Don't be so nervous. This prince just doesn't understand something. Just tell me everything, how she came to the Dali Temple, where she was imprisoned, who she met, what she said, and how she got you to come to me."

"Of course, your reward is also indispensable."

Upon hearing this, the jailer was stunned.

He was just a lowly prison guard, how could he know so much? He even knew his identity only after Song Shiwei told him.

He kowtowed several times and said, "Your Highness, Sixth Prince, please forgive me. I am merely a jailer in the Dali Temple. I heard Miss Song cry out in pain and call for a doctor. I was worried something might have happened, so I went in to check. Unexpectedly, Miss Song had other intentions. As soon as I entered, she grabbed me."

He paused, then continued, "She gave me these earrings and begged me to deliver this letter to the Sixth Prince. When I heard it was related to the Prince, I dared not neglect it and hurried out to find you."

He spoke sincerely, but the hand that unconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes betrayed him, and Xiao Yanli's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"No problem, this news is good. Come, go to the accounting office and get him fifty taels of silver. Please also give this prince a message."

Perhaps his kind tone paralyzed the guard's vigilant nerves. The guard finally raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "It's not a bother, it's not a bother."

Just bring a message and you will get fifty taels of silver!

This is the wealth of heaven and earth!

Xiao Yanli wrote a few words, put them in an envelope and handed it to the jailer.

"If there is any news from the Dali Temple, please inform me immediately."

"I understand. Thank you, Your Highness the Sixth Prince!"

The jailer received the silver and the letter and happily left the palace. The guard couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, that man is clearly lying..."

His words were drowned in Xiao Yanli's eyes.

"Of course this prince knows."

He now needs someone to pass on the message. There must be something fishy going on with Song Shiwei's matter. He must remain inactive until Jiang Zhaorong takes action.

There were already enough doubts about him in the emperor's eyes. There was no need to arouse the emperor's suspicion in order to save her. After all, he had no connection with her on the surface.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't save her at this moment, but after all, she is a spy that he has trained in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, and he can't abandon her. The only way now is to stabilize her first and then wait and see what other changes will happen.

"Oh, right, keep an eye on him. Once he finishes delivering his message, kill him. He can be bribed, but he's still a loose-lipped person. Keeping him around would only bring him trouble."

"yes."

…

In the prison, Song Shiwei waited for a whole day, and when he was drowsy, he heard footsteps outside.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw that it was the jailer.

Her heart suddenly began to beat wildly. Without waiting for him to speak, she asked impatiently, "How is it? Did the letter arrive? What did the Sixth Prince say? Is he coming to rescue me?"

Having seen the Sixth Prince's attitude, the jailer naturally did not dare to disrespect her. He immediately lowered his voice and took out the letter from his chest.
