In the main seat.

Zong Zhengli was flipping through the booklet in his hand, his thin figure outlined by a white robe. He lowered his eyes slightly with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't notice the few people beside him who were trying to please him.

Flipped a few pages.

After a while, he closed it and said in a calm voice:

"Everywhere should be prepared to ensure that the process on the day of ancestor worship goes smoothly without any mistakes."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, Your Highness Prince Li, we will keep an eye on it with all our strength, and there will be no mistakes!"

This was the first time that the emperor gave such an important task to Zong Zhengli. It would be more accurate to say that Zong Zhengli paid for it with his life.

He must do it well.

Prove to everyone that he is no worse than Zong Zhengchen.

After the incident, several officials left together, talking to each other:

"Have you heard that Princess Chen made a bet with the Gu family about surveying mines?"

"What? Is Princess Chen crazy? Who can compete with the Gu family's survey team?"

"She said, she."

"?? Are you stupid because of pregnancy?"

Zong Zhengli heard the fragmented words and looked up. It seemed that he had missed some news?

"Someone come."

I sent someone to ask around. As soon as the secret guard left, the butler came over:

"My Lord, Princess Chen is here."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Zong Zhengli's eyes lit up slightly, and he subconsciously adjusted his collar, smoothed his sleeves, and touched his hair. After making sure that he was in good shape, he said:

"Please ask her to come in."

"yes."

About two or three minutes later, Qin Ye arrived.

When Zong Zhengli saw her, the light in his eyes was brighter than ever before, and his expression was cheerful and full of joy:

"Princess Chen, why do you have time to come to my place today? Please take a seat."

"Someone, serve tea!"

When Qin Ye came over, he didn't rush to answer, but stared at him straight, as if he was looking at something.

His smile was always so gentle and harmless, enough to make people let down their guard.

His voice is always so gentle, and he never seems to lose his temper.

Who would have thought that this was just a mask he wore.

"Princess Chen?" Zong Zhengli met her gaze with a hint of doubt.

Qin Ye didn't look at it any further and picked an empty seat and sat down.

"I'm here to ask about Yao'er. She's been dead for several days. How is the patrol camp investigating?"

She was referring to the spring silk fabric.

Zong Zhengli said with embarrassment: "The imperial capital is too big, and the flow of spring silk is complicated. It may be difficult to find the suspicious person in a short period of time, but as soon as I have any news, I will send someone to tell you."

General:

Prince Li was injured, but he still took the initiative to help. He was full of sincerity and kindness, which must have touched me deeply.

At that time, Qin Ye was also feeling grateful.

But if you think about it calmly, isn't this just something he is pretending to do?

Pretending to be so nice just to confuse her.

"No need to look for it." She said directly, with a cold tone.

"Why?" Zong Zhengli was puzzled. "Didn't Princess Feng say that the murderer was someone else? Yao'er is pregnant with the royal heir. Although she was born in a brothel, in my eyes, there is no distinction between noble and humble people. We must find the real murderer and give them and their son justice!"

His words were firm and his expression was even more resolute.

The image he presents is gentle and upright, fair, equal, and very kind.

Who would doubt a man of such good character?

His kind appearance could really deceive everyone, even Qin Ye was deceived.

If she hadn't had solid evidence, she might have continued to believe him and had no doubt about it.

Qin Ye looked at his gentle and harmless face quietly and said:

"The murderer, isn't it you?"
