Instead of going through the main gate, he quietly leaped in from a hidden corner.

However, unlike last night, he did not deliberately hide his presence this time.

Sure enough, they were quickly discovered by the guards inside.

Looking at the menacing crowd, Zu'an calmly said, "Take me to see King Qi."

...

Inside the Qi King's study, the expressionless Qi King looked at Zu An and said calmly, "Do you know what the crime is for trespassing in the royal palace?"

Because there is no electricity in this world, nightlife is not as vibrant, people generally go to bed early, and naturally wake up early as well.

King Qi had just finished washing up and was extremely surprised to hear his subordinate's report, but he still ordered Zu An to be brought over.

Zu An smiled and said, "I just didn't want anyone to see me coming in through the main gate to see the prince, which would cause unnecessary trouble."

"What brings you here to see me so early in the morning?" King Qi asked, quite curious.

Zu An's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Your Highness, you've committed a crime!"

King Qi was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage: "You scoundrel, did you come here specifically to make fun of me?"

Anger from Zhao Jing +444!

Sensing the approaching aura, Zu An calmly said, "I have already investigated the case of the concubine's drowning. She did not drown, but rather her life force was destroyed by someone using internal energy to penetrate her brain before she was thrown into the pool to create the illusion of an accidental drowning. As for the murderer, Your Highness should know who it is."

Hearing him describe the details so clearly, the King of Qi fell silent. He did not argue, but stared at the other man coldly: "Aren't you afraid of not being able to leave my residence after coming here like this?"

Zu An smiled and said, "Your Highness is a wise man and would not do such an unwise thing. I came here today to inform Your Highness first, and then I will go back to the palace to report this matter to the Emperor."

A thought struck the King of Qi: "You haven't reported to the Emperor yet?"

Zuan replied, "I was just about to go."

King Qi narrowed his eyes, looked him up and down, and immediately realized that the other party had deliberately come to inform him so that he could prepare a countermeasure in advance. But why would he do this?

He asked calmly, "Why did you tell me in advance?"

Zu'an replied, "Since ancient times, once the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked; once the birds are gone, the good bow is put away. Only when Your Highness is here do I have the greatest value."

King Qi sneered, "How dare you utter such treasonous words! Guards, drag him out and behead him!"
