Xiao Jianren is too badly injured to be bothered by such trivial matters.

However, Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba did not think this was a trivial matter, and they couldn't help but answer tremblingly: "Boss, this involves the death of a prince, and on the other hand, he is a favorite of the Crown Princess. How are we going to investigate this case?"

Zuan calmly said, "Just determine that the Prince of Jin died of fright."

"Huh?" Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba were dumbfounded. In the past, when investigating cases in the building, any instructions were given in a roundabout way. Now, they were telling him how to close the case in person. Wasn't that a bit too direct?

"What, is there a problem?" Zuan hummed in response.

“No problem, no problem, of course we’ll follow the boss, whatever the boss says goes.” Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba chuckled.

Now that the Eleventh Prince has become the Grand Commander, he calls the shots in the entire Embroidery Pavilion, so of course everyone listens to him.

How exactly the Prince of Jin died is not important.

Zuan patted the two on the shoulder: "Keep up the good work. With this achievement, you two can be promoted to silver medals."

"Thank you, Eleventh Lord, no, thank you, Commander!" The two were overjoyed. They had risked their lives for the Embroidered Uniform Envoys for so many years, and all the hard and tiring work was done for them, but they were never given any promotions or raises. But now that they had latched onto the Eleventh Lord, this big shot, their careers had taken off.

"There's another matter you need to investigate thoroughly: why has Prince Jin been targeting the Murong family and even Marquis Shen these days? See if anyone is instigating or directing this behind the scenes." Zu An felt that this matter was not so simple. Prince Jin had inexplicably targeted him, and it seemed like a fight to the death.

He got himself into trouble, but was immediately impeached. It was a series of interconnected events, as if someone was deliberately setting a trap for him in the shadows.

"Yes, I heard that Princess Consort Jin is currently keeping vigil for Prince Jin. When we go to investigate the cause of Prince Jin's death, we will also try to find out from her and the people in the manor," Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba replied.

After arranging the work here, Zu'an went to see Xiao Jianren again to reassure him and help him recover.

After leaving the embroidery tower and changing his clothes, he planned to leave the palace. However, he saw Bi Linglong walking towards him from afar, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

Surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, she exuded a noble and elegant aura that stood out from the crowd.

Her exquisite and perfect face, adorned with a bright red dot between her brows, was truly even more charming and beautiful.

The swaying gold hairpin on her hair bun is like an invisible finger, constantly tugging at the heartstrings of the onlookers.

“Lord Zu, I have something to ask you.” Bi Linglong saw the fleeting joy in his eyes and spoke in a clear and melodious voice.

Soon the two arrived at the pavilion in the lake, while the other palace maids and eunuchs were sent to a distance to stand guard.

Given the magnitude of what happened in Zu'an, it's perfectly normal for them to have some confidential matters to discuss. Furthermore, the pavilion is open and spacious, allowing eunuchs and palace maids to see what's happening inside from afar, so it's not considered overstepping any boundaries.

"Why would the Empress help you?" After sitting down, Bi Linglong went straight to the point.

The ministers may not have realized what had just happened, but she clearly understood that the Empress's arrangement was secretly helping him.

"Perhaps he's attracted to my good looks," Zu'an replied somewhat shyly. The women of the deep palace, long deprived of their natural strength, were surprisingly formidable. If not for his special physique, he probably wouldn't have been able to tame that fiery, rouge-horse.

“Seriously,” Bi Linglong said irritably.

"I'm being serious," Zu'an said helplessly. Why is it that sometimes when people tell the truth, no one believes them, but when they tell lies, everyone believes them?

Worried that she would pry into the matter, Zu An quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I also have something I want to ask the Crown Princess. If one day, Lord Bi and I both fall into the water, and you can only save one of us, who would you save?"

There should be one more chapter today, but it will be a little late. Hopefully, I can resume normal updates as soon as possible.
