Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi felt relieved. It was normal for such a homebody to not know the news outside. Ji Xingzhi smiled knowingly and said in short: "This morning, the famous war god Hua Yihen from Huazhou came to Lizhou. The people have been waiting at the city gate early, just to see the face of the war god. In a few days, the newly crowned emperor Shui Lianche from Shuizhou will also come to the imperial capital of Lizhou. The prince of Yuzhou and the saint of Xuezhou are also on their way to Lizhou. These people can be said to be the heads of the states. It is rare for the five states to gather together, and it has already alarmed the entire Dixi Continent." At this point, Ji Xingzhi paused and said jokingly: "I never thought that Mr. Lian knew nothing about it. It seems that this matter It's not that big of a deal, is it? Lian Qing paid no attention to Ji Xingzhi's teasing. His brow furrowed, he picked up on a few words, and asked, "You just mentioned the new emperor of Shuizhou?" Ji Xingzhi was startled, quite surprised, and asked, "Emperor Shui Zaizhou of Shuizhou passed away a year ago. The new emperor, Shui Lianche, succeeded him and changed the reign title to Xihe. Sir, you don't even know that, do you?" Lian Qing's expression suddenly changed. "Miss Jian, I suddenly remembered that I have some unfinished business. I'll excuse you first." Without waiting for Ji Xingzhi's reply, he hurried away. Watching Lian Qing's hurried back, Ji Xingzhi narrowed her eyes. She had heard so much news, yet Lian Qing only asked about the new emperor of Shuizhou. Lian Qing's expression was also grim. "Zhou Zheng, if I remember correctly, does Shui Lianche have a brother named Shui Lianqing?" Ji Xingzhi asked, frowning. Considering Lian Qing's personality and lifestyle, Ji Xingzhi's expression changed slightly. Lianqing, Shui Lianche, Shui Lianqing, it couldn't be such a coincidence... Zhou Zheng lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes. It's just that Shui Lianqing possessed strange powers and accidentally killed his mother. The late Emperor of Shuizhou ordered his exile, and there's been no news of him since." He paused, then asked, "Sister, do you suspect Mr. Lianqing?" Ji Xingzhi nodded thoughtfully, "Send someone to follow him from a distance, so he doesn't find out. See where he goes." Zhou Zheng summoned a hidden guard, who bowed to Ji Xingzhi and Zhou Zheng before chasing after Lianqing. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Ji Xingzhi, someone was also investigating her. "Reporting to the prince, the prince asked me to investigate the emperor. I found out that the emperor left a eunuch named Xie Jingnian in Shaohua Palace, seemingly asking me to investigate something. This Xie Jingnian is actually the only son of the midwife who delivered the empress dowager. Following Xie Jingnian, I found out..." Lin Feng had just finished speaking when a cold voice suddenly rang out: "The result." Xiao Moyan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the green bamboo forest outside the window, his eyes as cold as the moonlight. "Sixteen years ago, on the day the emperor was born, with the exception of Aunt Xuan and the eldest eunuch, more than a hundred palace servants on duty in Fengling Palace were all executed, including midwife Xie." Lin Feng summarized and made it short. Hearing this, Xiao Moyan turned around and looked at Lin Feng, his eyes still as calm as a lake: "Have you found out the reason?" Hearing Xiao Moyan's question, Lin Feng paused slightly, lowered his head in shame and said: "I am incompetent." Xiao Moyan frowned slightly, retracted his gaze, and said lightly: "Step back." Lin Feng replied yes, then took two steps back and turned to leave.
