"How's the situation at the imperial farm?" Xia Miaoyuan blinked her big black eyes and looked at Emperor Mingxi and the prince.
Emperor Mingxi looked at Xia Miaoyuan lovingly and read the contents of the letter in a low voice.
In the letter, Prince Jin wrote down all his findings so far. He anticipated that the person behind the scenes might have a bigger conspiracy, so he did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, he wanted to show it to Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince and ask for their instructions.
After reading the letter, the room was silent for a long while.
The content of the letter really surprised both Emperor Mingxi and Xia Miaoyuan.
The prince had already read the letter once before, so he was calmer.
[Woqu, how cunning! You actually poisoned my rice bowl.]
Xia Miaoyuan was biting the corner of her handkerchief in a daze, her thoughts still wandering.
[This method is definitely not something that an ordinary person could come up with.]
[The person behind this must have very big plans.]
[Nine out of ten, the person behind this is Liang Chaozong.]
[And what they are after is most likely exotic crops.]
[But, if they were after potatoes and corn, why would they poison the Tenth Uncle and the Tenth Aunt?]
【I just can’t figure this out.】
"Cheng Wan, what do you think about this?" Emperor Mingxi asked with a frown.
The Crown Prince said with a bitter face, "I believe that since the poison was administered with such care and attention paid to the dosage, even if someone took it for several months, they wouldn't die."
"Then, the person behind this must have a bigger plan, and it's definitely not just about the lives of the Tenth Uncle and his wife."
[Not bad, big brother, your IQ is online!] Xia Miaoyuan secretly gave the prince a thumbs up in his heart.
The prince couldn't help but relax his brows and feel happy.
Emperor Mingxi glanced at the prince and thought to himself, you boy, you listened to your sister's thoughts and said them out loud in a pretentious manner, and you still think it's beautiful!
But what he said was: "Well, Cheng Wan's analysis makes sense."
"The current plan is to not alert the enemy."
"Finding out the mastermind behind this and uncovering their conspiracy is the most important thing."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Daddy's got a pretty sharp mind, too."
[It seems that Big Brother inherited his father's genes! ]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Emperor Mingxi with admiration.
Emperor Mingxi felt his daughter's gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly before continuing, "Chengwan, send a message to Prince Jin and tell him and his wife to pretend they didn't notice anything."
"Eat as usual, and continue to pretend that you are gradually getting tired."
The prince nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I will send a message to them immediately today."
At this moment, there was a restrained knock on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince both shut up, and then Debao's voice reached their ears.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, just now, the Crown Prince's confidant Awu came to see the Crown Prince and said there was an urgent matter."
The Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and whispered to Emperor Mingxi, "There must be new clues."
"I have sent people down to investigate these past two days."
[Wow! Big Brother's people are quite efficient.]
Emperor Mingxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Lead him here from the back door, and don't alarm others."
Debao nodded softly and left.
Before long, Awu, the tall guard beside the prince, appeared in the inner room.
Awu bowed respectfully to Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince.
"Tell me quickly, what new discoveries have you made?" asked Emperor Mingxi.
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on Awu.
Ah Wu's eyes sparkled, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, today we have made a new discovery."
"My subordinates have found the landlord who beat someone on the street that day based on the portrait drawn by the Crown Princess."
"The landlord's name is Chen Liuzi, a street urchin from East City."
"On weekdays, he specializes in stealing, cheating and deceiving people."
"He's not really a landlord."
"We caught him and tortured him, and he confessed quickly. He said that on that day, a middle-aged man paid him a fortune."
"Let him pretend to be the landlord and have a conflict with that woman on the street."
"The conversations between the two were all planned and taught to him by his employer in advance."
The prince held a folding fan in his right hand. Upon hearing this, he could not help but tap the fan against his left palm, "Sure enough!"
"Does Chen Liuzi recognize the old woman from that day?"
Ah Wu replied, "Chen Liuzi said that the woman was also hired by the employer, and he had never even seen her before the incident, let alone knew her."
Emperor Mingxi eagerly asked, "Did Chen Liuzi tell us who his employer was?"
Ah Wu raised the corner of his mouth. "Originally, every time this employer went to see Chen Liuzi, he would wear a veil to hide his identity."
"However, Chen Liuzi often hangs out on the streets and is very familiar with the vendors and shopkeepers there."
"He recognized the man from a mole on his employer's forehead and the look in his eyes. He knew he was the head manager of the Tianxiang Restaurant."
When Emperor Mingxi, the Crown Prince, and Xia Miaoyuan heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.
But the prince suppressed his excitement and asked, "Is he sure that the employer is the shopkeeper?"
Wu nodded solemnly: "He can be sure of it."
Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince exchanged glances.
Then the prince waved his hand and asked Awu to leave first.
Only Emperor Mingxi, the Crown Prince, and Xia Miaoyuan were left in the room.
At this moment, the three of them were extremely excited and their hearts were surging.
