"Just rambling on casually, Your Highness, please don't tell the Princess." Wu Ying's survival instinct kicked in again.

"Your Highness is so elegant and dignified. We just think that Your Highness and that Di Kingdom princess are a perfect match in appearance. But the Di Kingdom princess comes from a cold and harsh land, and her background is naturally not worthy of Your Highness. Let's not mention it." Wuhen had been deeply influenced by Shang Xiye for a year, and he was shameless enough to do whatever he wanted.

Ji Fengming had never been particularly concerned about these matters, so when he heard them say that, he didn't press the issue and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What do you mean by 'suitable in appearance'? With my looks, I wouldn't even look at a girl who isn't as pretty and lovely as my sister."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiye coldly raised her eyes and looked at him.

Ji Fengming involuntarily shuddered, his lips twitching, and he protested for the nth time: "Brother-in-law, do you have to be so perverted? That's my own sister. It's only natural for me to like my own sister. How can you be so jealous?!"

"Just remember to save any benefits for her. As for 'liking her,' I prefer to do it myself," Shang Xiye dismissed the protest without changing his expression, while also feeding everyone a mouthful of hot dog food.

Ji Fengming: "..."

If you weren't my brother-in-law, believe me, I'd beat you to death with a shoehorn!

Shadowless: "..."

It's so satisfying to torture single people like this; I really want a wife now.

Wuhen: "..."

The prince's lovey-dovey stuff is so sweet, I miss Que'er.

Shang Xiye put down his pen and asked Ji Fengming seriously, "Why did you come back by yourself? Where is Hei Xiao? Have you found anything at the Nanli Prince's Mansion?"

“Li Yu hasn’t returned these past few days, nor has he appeared in the capital,” Ji Fengming said, his joking expression fading. “However, Li Gan committed suicide by poisoning himself. Before he died, he also smothered the bedridden Second Prince of Nanli, Li Cang, to death. The Nanli Royal Palace is now in complete chaos.”

The collateral descendants of the Southern Royal Family are currently arguing over the division of the family property. Even some of those who left a few days ago have returned, also vying for the inheritance.

Black Owl was watching from over there, but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he sent me back to ask you what we should do now.

"After Li Gan suffocated Li Cang, he committed suicide by poisoning himself," Shang Xiye asked.

Ji Fengming nodded firmly: "Yes, Hei Xiao and I saw it with our own eyes."

"Did he not evacuate any other collateral relatives?" Shang Xiye asked again.

Ji Fengming shook his head again: "Absolutely not."

Shang Xiye's eyes flickered slightly. He stood up and ordered, "Wuying, gather the troops and immediately follow me to search and confiscate the Nanli Prince's residence!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wuying immediately accepted the order with his hands behind his back.

Ji Fengming was completely bewildered: "No, brother-in-law, what are you looking for? We can just go and look for them quietly tonight. Once we find evidence, we can openly raid their property. Right now, we have no proof, and if we raid it so openly, won't people have something to say about it? Those people in the court are already very unfriendly to you; and those in the palace wish they could skin you alive. If they find something on you, they'll definitely eat your flesh!"

"The purpose is not to seize property, but to save lives," Shang Xiye explained as they walked. "How many people know about this now? Has it reached the palace yet?"

Ji Fengming hurried to catch up and said, "It's just that there's internal strife in the manor, and no one outside knows about it yet; what, is there a problem with Li Gan's death?"

"Li Gan left us clues that could save his remaining clan," Shang Xiye said, his steps quickening.
