Chapter 274 Finally Returns

Huo Yuchen added, "However, according to the secret guards' report, the Royal Secret Guards were found among Gu Xiangsi's men. What do you think this means?"

Royal secret guards? Could it be that Gu Xiangsi has hooked up with a certain prince?

The action is really fast!

Ambitious people will never stop chasing fame, fortune and status.

They always do something unexpected and surprising.

Make people look at them with admiration.

However, it doesn't matter if she escapes. There are plenty of opportunities to kill her. I can just plan it later!

Lin Pianran is very obsessed with killing Gu Xiangsi.

She thought for a moment and said calmly, "Gu Xiangsi never disappoints. She found her target so quickly. Let's just wait and see how the mystery unfolds!"

"Then Pianpian, guess who she hooked up with? Let's see if we are thinking of the same person."

Lin Pianran said without hesitation, "I guess it's the King of Qi."

"As expected, great minds think alike. I have long suspected he has ill intentions."

After saying this, Huo Yuchen laughed heartily and looked very happy.

He and Pianpian always think alike.

Pianpian's personality completely makes up for his many shortcomings.

She can be said to be his lucky star, or her soulmate.

Lin Pianran asked again, "By the way, we rescued so many people last night. It must have caused a stir in the government and the country today, right? Is anyone going to have trouble sleeping?"

"Someone started to impeach Huo Duan at the morning court today. The emperor dragged him away and ordered him to be beaten with twenty sticks."

"Only twenty strokes of the cane, that's too cheap for him!" Lin Pianran was a little dissatisfied.

Huo Yuchen continued, "Feng Linglong woke up in the middle of the night yesterday. Despite her illness, she wrote a petition against Princess Dechang."

"She clearly stated in her petition that during the five years she was imprisoned in the cave, Princess Dechang visited her almost every year, tortured and beat her, and then left in high spirits, each time uttering many jealous words. The petition clearly describes all of this."

"All of this proves that Princess Dechang is in collusion with those men in black. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to enter and exit the cave freely."

"Then Princess Dechang is doomed now, right?"

"Feng Linglong's complaint alone is still lacking some evidence. We still need to collect more witnesses and physical evidence."

"The Dali Temple has already begun its investigation. The Princess's Mansion has been completely surrounded. Not even a mosquito can get in or out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Pianran was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Serves her right! A princess who stole someone else's husband has truly brought disgrace upon the royal family. The fact that she's been able to live happily for so many years is already a blessing for her."

"Would Emperor Wu of Qin be willing to take action against his own sister? Would he be such a selfless emperor?"

Huo Yuchen fiddled with Lin Pianran's fingers while explaining lightly.

"As soon as he heard that Princess Dechang was connected to the men in black, my father flew into a rage and ordered the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation, not to mention getting to the bottom of it."

"Do you know why Father is so nervous? Because he also hates those men in black. It was their doing that he was besieged in Pingcheng."

"He also learned from Prince Chang that these men in black were wreaking havoc on the Qin Empire just to covet his throne, and even brutally murdered Prince Guangling. How could my father let go of someone who colluded with the men in black?"

Lin Pianran smiled and said, "Princess Dechang has hit a wall this time. Emperor Qin Wu will definitely not let her go. It depends on whether the Empress Dowager will plead for her."

Huo Yuchen added, "But when it comes to major issues, our Queen Mother can be said to be very shrewd, or she can be said to be extremely selfish, only focusing on her own gains and losses."

"Even if it was her own daughter, if she threatened the stability of the imperial power and her wealth and glory, she would kill her without mercy, even for the sake of justice. After all, the stability of the imperial power and her wealth and glory are inextricably linked."

Lin Pianran smiled and said, "That's great!"

"This time, the old emperor finally managed to distinguish right from wrong. His confusion was so infuriating that it infuriated both humans and gods. I hope the Empress Dowager can be more effective. Then, we can have Feng Linglong and the Duke of Ying continue to stir up trouble behind the scenes. This time, we will definitely be able to skin Princess Dechang."

Speaking of this, Lin Pianran's eyes were full of smiles.

"Not only should Huo Duan and Princess Dechang be on the lookout, but Your Highness should also have someone thoroughly investigate Prince Jing's Mansion. As for the Wang family, they may not be innocent either. This unintentional act has exposed so many people, which is a good thing. It allows us to guard against them in advance."

Huo Yuchen kissed Lin Pianran hard on the cheek, "Pianran has made great contributions this time. You are the lifesaver of many people. The Duke of Yingguo sent a thank-you gift early in the morning, and the Liu family also sent a thank-you gift..."

Finally, good people are rewarded, and her hard work in saving so many people was not in vain.

Lin Pianran was very happy to receive everyone's recognition.

The scene suddenly changed, and Lin Pianran suddenly said, "We must also thoroughly investigate Puhua Temple. The black-clothed men's cave is so close to their temple, it's impossible for them to be completely unaware. Either they are in cahoots, or they are deliberately concealing and shielding someone. They can all be held jointly responsible for the crime."

"There are two monks. I have already told Shen Xuanzhi that we need to focus on investigating those two. They may know more information."

"Okay, just listen to our Pianpian."

Huo Yuchen smiled, his face full of doting.

"This trip was well worth it. We gained a lot. We discovered four major suspects: Princess Dechang, the Wang family, the Zhao Palace, and the Jing Palace."

"Perhaps, we can find more clues and more suspicious people from the confessions of those rescued people."

"If we investigate carefully who Liu Jiuyou and his son offended, we will find clues."

"Okay, I'll arrange everything."

"Feng Linglong must be protected well. Don't let Princess Dechang and the Wang family attack her. Otherwise, there will be no evidence, and Princess Dechang will definitely escape." Lin Pianran reminded again.

Huo Yuchen nodded, and was very impressed by Lin Pianran's meticulousness.

"I've thought of this too. I've already sent two secret guards over there. I'll remind Shen Xuanzhi and the others."

Huo Yuchen took everything Lin Pianran said to heart. After all, there were some things he had not participated in and he did not understand them as clearly as Lin Pianran did.

The two of them were talking affectionately and flirting in the room, and from time to time some singing and laughter could be heard from the room.

Suddenly, Lu Jianmin hurried to the outside of the wing room and said anxiously, "Your Highness, there is something important to report."
