Chapter 61: Worried



Although she has been appointed to investigate the matter, most people do not listen to her.

Through the investigation in the past few days, it seems that Ying has special prestige in this villa. The reasons are... first, no one in the entire villa can beat Ying in a single fight, and second, most of the people here have received Ying's favor in some way.

"Ying is fine. I can lend it to you temporarily if you need it."

Shen Yan glanced at the shadow, and the other party immediately understood.

Helping is only one of the purposes. The main purpose is to monitor Lu Wan's every move so that he can grasp the situation in time.

"It's not a big deal, actually. The main thing is that many people are completely uncooperative even though they know I'm in charge of this matter."

After Lu Wan gave a brief account, he actually didn't expect Ying to be able to provide any substantial help.

After being in this dirty world for a long time, Lu Wan even doubted that no one around her could be trusted, and she was only in a small palace.

Chen Yan is different. He is a prince now and the only king with a different surname, but in the future, he will be the king of the entire dynasty.

The greater the power, the lonelier you become, and the more people will fear you.

"Let's go. I will accompany you."

Ying followed Lu Wan to the cell.

Now Ergou has not slept or eaten for a whole day and a night, and all aspects of his body functions have begun to become disordered. In fact, this is the most unbearable thing.

"Master Ying! You are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as he saw the shadow, Ergou seemed to see hope, and the chains he struggled on shook with a loud noise.

It looked as if a believer had seen the savior. Lu Wan looked at Ying in confusion, obviously not understanding what was going on.

Isn't shadow the most credible? The inferences were overturned again and again.

"What on earth is going on?"

After all, it is not a trivial matter. It is not fair to convict someone based on the one-sided statement of a jailer.

But just like the idea just now, this possibility cannot be exempted just because Ying is the prince's personal assassin.

All necessary investigation procedures will be followed.

But the problem is... Ying's prestige here is very high. He did this before to help Lu Wan establish his prestige. In fact, there are many people gathered here. If Ying is kidnapped openly, it will inevitably cause collective protests and affect subsequent investigations.

This is not what any of them wanted to see.

"Could it be that they have accomplices who can tip them off?"

Lu Wan was originally thinking about this matter quietly, but accidentally made some noises due to the alcohol.

Forget it, she doesn't want to get involved in this kind of party fighting.

One queen mother is enough, there shouldn't be any more problems.

Wait, the Queen Mother? It’s the Queen Mother! "I've got an idea. Take me back now. I have a new idea."

If it was the Queen Mother, then this new statement would be even clearer.

Lu Changxin was simply a bait. It seemed like winning the battle was a good thing, but that was not the case in the current situation.

"Your Highness, you have been to the military camp several times. If anyone with a keen eye has witnessed all this, we will not be able to deny it at all."

But it doesn't actually make much sense.

Of course, for them and the Queen Mother, this was perfect evidence. The evidence was conclusive that they intended to rebel and were colluding with the army.

In this way, not only Chen Yan, but also Lu Changxin will be doomed.

This matter really has only benefits and no harm for the Queen Mother.

"But why is that Ergou so determined to push this matter onto Ying..."

That's another question.

Now we can indirectly prove that Ergou must have a certain connection with this matter.

"I'm sorry to inconvenience you. I will lock you up in the dungeon for a few days. You can exchange some information with those people. If you encounter any problems, just take action directly. There is no need to hold back. Protecting your own life is the most important thing."

Shen Yan explained everything clearly, so he didn't say anything else.

"My Lord, do you really think it was Shadow?"

Even Lu Wan, an outsider, couldn't believe it.

Of course, Chen Yan couldn't believe it. After so many years, Ying had been with him through the most difficult times, and now it seemed that the hardships were over and the good times were coming. How could she suddenly turn against him? "Of course it's impossible. I just want to know the situation over there. Given the current situation, this is the only way to get close."

But this could very well be a trap, waiting for them to step into.

Ergou hasn't slept for two days, but even so, he has no intention of revealing his true colors.

There was only one obvious mood swing, and that was when Ying appeared.

"Someone, untie him and bring him to me."

Lu Wan gave the order. It was not impossible to let Ergou sleep for a while now, otherwise it would make people feel even more uncomfortable.

As expected, everything before was just an act, Ergou fell asleep almost instantly.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, he was forcibly awakened. The feeling was much more uncomfortable than just holding it in.

"Well, are you willing to tell me now?"

Lu Wan pinched Ergou's chin. Ergou looked very embarrassed now because of the basin of water that had just been poured on his face.

But he was certain that Ying was the mastermind, and many of them testified that they often saw Ying entering and leaving the villa.

"Your Excellency, I have told you everything we know and can know."

Ergou fell into a deep sleep after he finished speaking. No one cared about him now, as everyone was worried about Ying's matter.

"How are we going to deal with Master Ying's matter?"

Several guards who were sent to assist Lu Wan were in a dilemma. If this matter was indeed related to Ying, wouldn't they miss the best opportunity to investigate the case if they did nothing? But these people have received favors after all, or are affiliated with the Shadow, so it would be bad to offend them.

"It's okay, you guys check yours."

Ying shook his head lightly. Only he himself knew whether this matter had anything to do with him.

Lu Wan's eyes were fixed on Ying, as if he was trying to discern some different emotions from that bottomless black hole.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there has been no progress at all. Even though Lu Wan has always believed that there is something wrong with Ergou, time is there, and even if a military order has been issued, it cannot be delayed for too long.

"You all should go out first."

Lu Wan planned to take a risky move. If he succeeded, he would succeed. If he failed... then all his previous efforts would be wasted.

This matter must not be known by Shen Yan.

But she overlooked one thing, Shen Yan could hear what she was thinking.
