Chapter 433 Plan

Before leaving, Qin Qixuan had arranged Zui Lan in a very secret dark room in the palace. The dark room is located deep in the palace, hidden in the intricate palaces and corridors. It is almost impossible for outsiders to find it without someone's guidance. He chose such a place because he knew the seriousness of the case.

This case not only concerns the face of the royal family, but may also involve deep court conspiracies. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that Zui Lan is completely isolated from the outside world and cannot leak any key information, so as not to affect the entire investigation process.

After finishing the tense report with the emperor, Qin Qixuan did not stop for a moment and hurried back to the dark room. His heart was filled with anxiety, wanting to get more clues from Zui Lan as soon as possible.

However, when he passed through the deep and hidden corridor and was about to reach the dark room, he unexpectedly ran into Pei Xuanyi, Xiao Xixi and Fu Yan.

Qin Qixuan was not too surprised to see Pei Xuanyi and Fu Yan. After all, the two of them were also important participants in the case and were also trying to find the truth. But the appearance of Xiao Xixi made him feel uneasy.

He had originally planned to go to the three of them to discuss the case after dealing with Zui Lan's affairs, but he didn't expect to meet them here in advance.

Qin Qixuan's eyes naturally fell on Xixi. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including both blame and pampering. He knew that his sister had extraordinary abilities and curiosity, which enabled her to always get involved in areas that were difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Although her fearless and adventurous spirit was admirable, it also made him, as a brother, often worried about her safety.

He certainly hoped that Qin Xixi could stay away from all potential dangers, live a peaceful and stable life, and enjoy the good years like an ordinary woman.

But on the other hand, he also clearly realized that Qin Xixi's special abilities might really bring breakthrough progress to this confusing case. Her "eyes in the sky" can see through many secrets, which may be the key to solving this case.

Not long ago, he learned that Qin Xixi was missing. At that moment, he was suddenly filled with strong anxiety and uneasiness. He was worried about his sister's safety, and even more worried that she would be involved in this palace turmoil and unable to extricate herself.

He was planning to go find her in person, but he didn't expect to meet her here by chance.

Seeing his sister standing in front of him safe and sound, Qin Qixuan's heart finally fell by half.

"Xixi, why did you come here?" Qin Qixuan's tone was a little helpless and doting, as if he was blaming a naughty and disobedient child.

Faced with her brother's inquiry, Qin Xixi was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and did not directly answer her brother's question.

She knew that her behavior might have worried her brother, but she really wanted to contribute to this case. So, she chose to respond in a playful way, blinking her eyes, trying to defuse the awkward atmosphere by being cute.

At this time, Pei Xuanyi saw Qin Qixuan's worry and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Brother Qixuan, don't worry, I will personally arrange people to strictly protect Xixi's safety and never let her get hurt. Moreover, you know Xixi's ability. Not only can she provide us with some unique insights here, but she may also help us find new clues, which will be of great help to the investigation of the case."

Qin Qixuan listened to Pei Xuanyi's words. Although he was still a little helpless about his sister's adventurous behavior, he also understood that Pei Xuanyi was right. Under this special circumstance, letting Qin Xixi participate may really play a positive role in promoting the investigation of the case.

So, he took a deep breath and nodded, tacitly acknowledging Qin Xixi's participation, and at the same time expressing his trust in Pei Xuanyi.

Now that Xixi has been found, Qin Qixuan no longer said anything. He and Pei Xuanyi walked aside and began to discuss the next plan in a low voice.

Qin Qixuan looked solemn. He knew that this case was of great importance and must be handled with caution. He pondered for a moment, and then slowly elaborated on his plan.

"I have a plan, which can lead you into the trap." His eyes were firm, and he was obviously full of confidence in this plan.

"We must spread the news that Zui Lan already knows the identity of the murderer. In this way, those who have ulterior motives will definitely panic. They may take extreme actions, such as assassinating Zui Lan, to try to cover up the truth. And this just gives us an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Qin Qixuan's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

Having said this, he quietly glanced at Fu Yan, and then whispered a reminder to Pei Xuanyi.

"Your Majesty has begun to suspect General Fu Yan. Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, the Emperor will not let this matter go. We must act carefully and pay close attention to General Fu Yan's every move."

Pei Xuanyi did not show much surprise on his face after hearing this. He said lightly.

"I already knew that the Emperor suspected General Fu Yan. The current evidence is indeed unfavorable to him, but we must remain calm and not act rashly."

Qin Qixuan nodded, agreeing with Pei Xuanyi's calmness.

"That's true. We can't just convict people based on our intuition. Next, what we have to do is wait and see, while strengthening our defenses to ensure Zui Lan's safety. Once someone takes action, we can follow the clues and find the real murderer."

The two men's eyes met in the dim light, and each saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes.

Qin Qixuan's plan was also easy to implement.

After Pei Xuanyi went in to see Zui Lan, he agreed to carry out his plan.

They released the news very cautiously, without making a big fuss, but pretended to inform some people inadvertently within the possible scope.

Although the scope of dissemination was not wide, they were inevitably disappointed when they had been guarding outside for several days and gained nothing.

No one blamed Qin Qixuan's plan, because everyone knew that this was the best method they could think of.

For several days, no one came to assassinate Zui Lan, and the few people were almost getting impatient.

Xiao Xixi yawned, lying on Pei Xuanyi's back, resting in a daze, with an inexplicable premonition in her heart.

[Why do I feel that it should be today?]

She didn't see that Pei Xuanyi and Qin Qixuan looked at each other, both with solemn expressions on their faces.
