Chapter 266 His Majesty is waiting anxiously

"Why do you say that?" Hu Xiner asked puzzledly.

"Although I have never seen that kind of poisonous insect, I can be sure that the prince's spies have definitely not infiltrated Chunfengzui." Jiang Yao said coldly.

Seeing her confident look, Hu Xin'er still felt unsure: "But aunt..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Yao quickly spoke, "We're in the intelligence business. How could we possibly be infiltrated by someone else's spies? Although there are various forces intertwined in our building, they all know everything about us."

Hu Xin'er grumbled quietly, "But last time, the eldest princess and I followed in easily..."

Jiang Yao frowned impatiently. "We're open for business, so of course we need to attract customers. For new customers, the madam will assign the guys in the building to serve them. The guys will do everything they can, even if it means paying them back, to get every last bit of information about them."

Hu Xin'er suddenly realized: "No wonder several people ogled us the moment we walked in. I was even wondering how the service at Chun Feng Zui, a place with such a booming business, could be so warm and attentive."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill.

When he turned around, he saw Mu Qing's face full of resentment.

Hu Xiner looked up at the sky, oh no, she had said something wrong!

Jiang Yao sneered, "That's why I said you underestimated Chun Feng Zui! By the way, it's best to avoid going to places like these inns and brothels in the future. I'm not saying this because you're a woman, but because your husband never visits those places."

Hu Xin'er was embarrassed. Jiang Yao meant that if a person is not married, or her husband likes to go shopping, then she can go shopping?

This idea is too advanced!

Jiang Yao added, "Given your current status, it's really not appropriate for you to go. The secrets of our Lu family are all tied to you."

Hu Xiner quickly explained, "I accompanied the eldest princess to investigate Chun Feng Zui that time, not because I really like visiting these places."

Jiang Yao had a look on her face that said, "As long as you're happy," and then she got back to the point. "You said it yourself. Feng Ge was already infected with a Gu worm, and it tied his life to Chun Feng Zui's. If he encountered any difficulties, he should have thought of Chun Feng Zui first, not risking his life for the Crown Prince."

"So, it's impossible that Feng Ge was bribed or threatened by the prince just because he encountered difficulties." Hu Xiner murmured to herself.

Mu Qing was about to speak when Jiang Yao stopped him: "That's all I have to say. You can figure out the rest yourself."

Hu Xin'er was stunned: "I'm just a bystander..."

She was clearly given a business script, so why did she have to force herself into solving the case?

Judging from Jiang Yao's intention, she actually wants her to be the main force in solving the case?

Jiang Yao leisurely moved a chair over, placed her hands on her legs, and wrapped her entire body tightly in her cloak.

After hearing Hu Xin'er's words, she narrowed her eyes dangerously: "You came to my room late at night and woke me up, but you can't bring me any clues? Then what use do I have for you?"

"Aunt, I may not be able to think straight. It will be very late when I finally do. How about I go to bed tonight?" Hu Xiner never expected things to develop in this way.

She frowned and wondered what went wrong.

Why doesn't Jiang Yao look nervous at all? This is obviously related to the Lu family's affairs.

As she expected, they should find Jiang Yao and ask about the connection between Chunfengzui and the prince.

If Jiang Yao knew about it, they would work together to discuss how to find out the truth about Feng Ge's death and deal with the prince.

If Jiang Yao didn't know about this, she could broaden her thinking.

But now, the task of finding the truth actually fell on me, the one who was least good at thinking and scheming among them?!

Moreover, Jiang Yao acted as if she wouldn't let him leave until he finished talking!

"Sleeping is impossible." Jiang Yao saw her worried look and actually curled her lips in a cheerful tone. "Think quickly. If you can't think of anything, just stand here all night."

Seeing her firm attitude, Hu Xiner had no choice but to try to think for herself.

She slowly calmed down: "Originally, I thought that the prince must have used some means to make Feng Ge his double agent, working for Chun Feng Zui while selling the news about Chun Feng Zui to the prince..."

There was no expression on Jiang Yao's face, even her eyes were half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Hu Xin'er frowned and thought hard, "But after thinking carefully, I realized that if one person wants to conquer another, it's nothing more than bribery, threats, and the other person's voluntary submission for some purpose."

Jiang Yao raised her eyelids and said, "Go on."

Hu Xin'er was encouraged and spoke in a flurry, "Feng Ge doesn't seem like someone who would be bribed. If he were threatened, he could just ask Chun Feng Zui to handle it for him. He should be well aware that betraying Chun Feng Zui would result in death, so both of these arguments are invalid."

Mu Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Hu Xin'er's imaginative little head could have such a complete analysis process.

"The last possibility is that Feng Ge wanted to break away from Chun Feng Zui, so he took the initiative to seek the prince's help, but this is also not true. Because from the fact that the prince also has Gu worms in his hands, it can be seen that those under his control are not much better than those under Chun Feng Zui."

At this point, all three possibilities were eliminated, and Feng Ge could never be someone under the prince's command.

Jiang Yao smiled, a rare smile. "There's another possibility. The prince is that mysterious person. Feng Ge's parasite was most likely activated by that mysterious person. But if the prince was that mysterious person, he would have killed me long ago to silence me. These two people can't be the same person."

The two main clues were actually contradictory, and things seemed to have reached a deadlock again.

After leaving Jiang Yao's room, it was clearly late at night, but the sky in the distance was bright red as if it were illuminated by the sunset glow.

Hu Xin'er noticed something was wrong and asked, "Husband, which direction is that? Why does it look like a fire?"

Mu Qing also realized that something was wrong: "Oh no, that's the direction of the imperial palace!"

In less than half a minute, Mu Qing received an urgent summons from the emperor, asking to enter the palace.

The messenger was a white-haired old eunuch. He didn't mention the matter, but just kept urging, "Hurry up, hurry up! His Majesty is waiting anxiously in the palace!"

Hu Xiner wanted to give him some silver, but was coldly rejected.

She had no choice but to send Mu Qing out worriedly.

Although Mu Qing's eyes were filled with worry, he consoled her, "Don't worry, my lady. Nothing will happen. I'll be back soon. But you, don't overwork yourself."
