Chapter 112 Investigation



From then on, Jiang Chen moved to Kunning Palace to recuperate, and the ceremony was very grand. They specially brought a sedan chair carried by many people, and carefully sent Jiang Chen to Kunning Palace.

On this side, Jiang Qingqing obtained the approval of Emperor Qing. She regained her palace pass and followed her uncle Xiao Linting to investigate the hunting injuries at the horse training farm.

At this moment in the woods of the horse training ground, many guards with swords were walking back and forth in the woods looking for any missed clues.

Jiang Qingqing had changed out of her usual cumbersome palace attire and was now wearing pumpkin trousers with tight sleeves. She looked like a capable little heroine.

Her hair was neatly tied into a big ponytail.

She followed closely behind the emperor's uncle, walking deeper and deeper.

"Uncle, are there any new clues here?"

Jiang Qingqing had never seen the crime scene, so in fact she couldn't help with these things.

If she couldn't help, she would try not to make things worse, so she almost followed Xiao Linting obediently.

Xiao Linting looked down at the mud hidden deep in the grass. He had not yet figured out how to respond to Jiang Qingqing's words.

Suddenly, he keenly noticed that something was wrong on the ground.

Then, he raised his hand until Jiang Qingqing approached, then knelt on one knee, squatted on the ground carefully, and pulled aside the lush grass on the ground.

Sure enough, Xiao Linting saw a pair of footprints in the gap of the grass.

"Someone, come and collect the evidence."

He coldly ordered the people from the Dali Temple to come and check, and then he swiftly took Jiang Qingqing out of the woods.

After both of them stood under the scorching sun, Xiao Linting spoke up, "The arrow on the Third Prince's body came from the palace patrol. Based on this evidence, we have interrogated the palace patrols one by one and observed their mental states."

"Any progress?"

Jiang Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard this very scientific method, and she couldn't help but ask further.

Xiao Linting looked into the woods, sighed silently, and then said: "We have investigated half of the patrol guards in the palace, but we haven't found anyone who is wrong."

"Have the guards of Han Qiming's patrol team investigated?" Jiang Qingqing couldn't hold back any longer when she heard this and asked directly.

She wished that her uncle would immediately investigate the internal situation of the two patrol teams in front of Han Qiming's courtyard from beginning to end, inside and out.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Linting stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Qingqing deeply.

"Why do you think there's something wrong with Han Qiming's patrol team?"

Xiao Linting asked back.

Jiang Qingqing's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I went to the patrol team with my eldest brother last time to check the situation. I have some understanding of the patrol team."

This reason was not abrupt and even made some sense. Xiao Linting looked at the little guy in front of him thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Your Highness has reminded me that I should go to Han Qiming's patrol team to investigate."

He stretched out his hand again and hooked his finger in the direction of Jiang Qingqing. When the latter saw that the emperor's uncle did not ask her why, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

The little hand was placed in the emperor's uncle's broad palm, and she looked up and smiled brightly and innocently.

Afterwards, Xiao Linting took Jiang Qingqing all the way to the patrol team near Han Qiming.

This was the second time Jiang Qingqing had joined this patrol team recently. When the team leader saw Princess Dunming for the first time, he was quite calm and accustomed to it.

"Your Highness, is there anything you left behind that you need me to find?"

The team leader did not notice Prince Xiao who was walking slowly behind them. Looking at Princess Dunming, he bowed calmly and then asked.

What he said was indeed correct. The princess came to visit him frequently over the past few days. It was understandable that the eldest prince led the way on the first day, but the second time she came must have missed something last time.

Jiang Qingqing tilted her head slightly, looking at the leader in front of her, she curled her lips and smiled, "The main person coming this time is not me."

The team leader's expression was blank for a moment. After hearing footsteps, he looked up hastily and saw Prince Xiao in dark black clothes, standing at the door with a cold and distant look.

"My Lord, I greet you!"

The team leader quickly stood up, bowed respectfully and saluted Xiao Linting.

This action is much more standard than the one he did just now towards Jiang Qingqing.

Jiang Qingqing looked at the team leader with a smile without saying a word. How could she not understand what the team leader meant?

Another big fool who thought she was easy to fool because of her young age.

"Three days ago, give me a list of the patrol teams that will be resting."

Xiao Linting came up without any greetings and went straight to asking for the thing he needed most.

The team leader did not dare to offend Xiao Linting, so he responded decisively and immediately turned around to get the files from three days ago.

There was no one in the hall. Jiang Qingqing had nothing to do, so she just walked around.

Less than half a cup of tea later, the leader of the patrol team hurried over with the list from three days ago and respectfully handed it to Xiao Linting with both hands.

Jiang Qingqing glanced at the list and shrugged.

Anyway, her purpose was to lure the emperor's uncle to investigate this group. Three days ago, she witnessed Zhu Song in the team with her own eyes. Before the incident, she was still making things difficult for Zhu Song.

But since I can't catch Zhu Song's braid, there's no need to worry.

After Xiao Linting glanced at the names of the patrol teams, his eyes fell on Zhu Song's. He stayed for a moment and put away the list.

"People from the Dali Temple will come over this afternoon to investigate the situation as usual."

After saying this, he took Jiang Qingqing and walked out of the patrol hall.

Jiang Qingqing thought that she would be able to witness the scene of the emperor's uncle reviewing these people this time, but who knew that she would leave without seeing the review! ?

She followed Xiao Linting out of the hall, and her short legs puffed as she caught up with the pace of the emperor's uncle in front of her.

“Don’t those who are not present review them?”

Jiang Qingqing really didn't understand why the emperor's uncle wanted to leave.

Xiao Linting watched the little girl walk. He bent down and held her in his arms, saying as he walked, "When the patrol team called out their names one by one for review, they had almost colluded among themselves. I'm afraid there won't be any suspicious clues to be found if we review them now."

This truth does exist, Jiang Qingqing nodded in agreement.

Soon, she realized that the direction her uncle was heading was not towards the harem.

"Are we leaving the palace?"

Looking at the road out of the palace that was becoming more and more familiar, Jiang Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The follow-up of the shop at the crossroads last time has not been sorted out yet. I will take you there to see how to sort it out."
