After hearing Zhou Li's words, the emperor's expression became noticeably more serious.
What he entrusted to Zhou Li was nothing but the assassination in the enclosure.
During this period, he was assassinated repeatedly, which was a blatant humiliation for him as an emperor.
What kind of emperor, hated by both heaven and man, would be assassinated so frequently?
What kind of lax management allows assassins to enter frequently?
The emperor felt as if his face had been slapped until it was swollen.
When Zhou Li said that he had found out some clues, the emperor naturally became excited and wanted to find the mastermind behind the incident so that he could vent his anger.
It's so bullying.
Zhou Li felt that what he had found out was a little outrageous, but it must be true, so he reported his findings to the emperor in a serious manner.
"Your Majesty, this assassination may be related to the Jiang Kingdom."
"Jiang Kingdom?" The emperor was stunned.
This answer was really beyond his expectations.
He thought it was a minister's rebellion, and even that the prince was usurping the throne, but he never imagined that the person behind it would be a destroyed country.
The emperor found it a little unbelievable.
He frowned and looked at Zhou Li, asking the questions in his mind.
"Your Majesty, the mastermind behind this incident is most likely the remnants of the Jiang Kingdom. They went to great lengths to infiltrate our capital, seeking revenge. However, I have yet to discover the true extent of their hidden power."
The emperor thought this was a bit outrageous, but when he saw Zhou Li's determined look, he became hesitant.
He knew Zhou Li's methods, and he also knew that as long as those people fell into Zhou Li's hands alive, they would definitely spit out something useful.
But at this moment, what they vomited out seemed to be very different from what he had imagined.
The emperor didn't react for a moment.
Zhou Li didn't say much and just waited quietly.
Until the emperor said: "Do you know who the remnants of the Jiang Kingdom are?"
Zhou Li shook his head. "Those people are very cautious. These are their hired assassins who have never seen their masters. That's why I haven't figured it out yet. But I think with time, as long as I can follow the clues, I will eventually find out."
The emperor nodded, then waved at Zhou Li and asked him to continue with his work.
The amount of information he told himself today was a bit too much, so he needed to take it slowly.
Seeing this, Zhou Li didn't say much and just stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as he went out, he met Chen Yan who came to serve the emperor.
The two men greeted each other.
Chen Yan knew that the emperor had arranged Zhou Li to investigate the assassination, and when he saw Zhou Li coming out of the imperial study, he immediately became alert.
"Master Zhou, what is this..."
As a colleague, Zhou Li had no guard against Chen Yan, so he said directly: "Indeed, we have found some clues about the assassination, so I came to report to the emperor."
Hearing this, Chen Yan's fingers hidden in her sleeves clenched instantly, but her face remained calm.
"Has the person behind this been caught?"
Zhou Li shook his head. "Not yet, but we'll catch him eventually."
His words were full of confidence.
But Chen Yan knew that Zhou Li's words were not just confidence, but that he could really do it.
Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Yan's face became a little stiff.
"Really? Congratulations in advance, Master Zhou."
Zhou Li smiled politely, "Congratulations, I'm glad to hear that. I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. Ms. Shen, please do as you please."
After Zhou Li left, Chen Yan put away the smile on her face. She stared at Zhou Li's back for a long time without saying a word, but her mind was already active.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find a way to pull Zhou Li over to her side.
The Little New Year is coming soon.
During this period, too many things happened in the palace, and the emperor had no time to organize the New Year's Eve banquet.
But this is the rule passed down by our ancestors. Even if he doesn't want to do it, those civil officials will not let him do it.
The emperor felt that he had no freedom at all as an emperor.
Therefore, he directly handed over the palace banquet to the Queen, who was fully responsible for it.
The queen was quite happy. After all, so many things had happened during this period of time, and she wanted to have some fun to change her mood.
So she asked Jun Mochen to help her.
Jun Mochen was not very interested in this kind of thing at first, but the queen persuaded him earnestly.
He is already quite old and the emperor has not assigned him any task yet. If he doesn't perform well, does he really want to be a bald prince for the rest of his life?
Seeing that Jun Mochen remained unmoved, the queen could only use her trump card, saying that he was a prince who didn't even have an official position, so how could Ms. Shen be interested in him?
Hearing this, Jun Mochen was moved.
Although the queen was unhappy, at least her goal was achieved.
In her opinion, even if her son had nothing, he was more than qualified to be with Chen Yan. She didn't know why that woman was so arrogant.
Until the day of the Little New Year, Sang Liwan followed Jun Moyi into the palace for a banquet, but Gu Huaizhi found an excuse and did not go.
This surprised Sang Liwan a little.
She had previously thought that this man would stick with her and her husband for the rest of his life.
After Gu Huaizhi finished speaking, he was amused by the expression on Sang Liwan's face.
He unfolded his folding fan to deliberately frighten Sang Liwan, "Princess, are you feeling a little regretful?"
Hearing this, Sang Liwan's mouth twitched.
She felt that this Gu Huaizhi might be even more shameless than Jun Moyi.
"I'm just a little curious, Your Highness, you're overthinking it."
"Really?" Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows. "That's really regrettable."
Jun Moyi didn't say anything. He just looked at Gu Huaizhi silently. Gu Huaizhi gave him a reassuring look, and his heart suddenly became excited.
He knew that Gu Huaizhi must have some clues that needed to be investigated, and perhaps there would be results soon.
Jun Moyi lowered his eyebrows, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he pulled Sang Liwan and said calmly: "Since the prince has something to do, let's go to the palace first."
Sang Liwan had originally just casually teased Gu Huaizhi, but Jun Moyi wanted to stop her, and she would not offend Jun Moyi.
"good."
After entering the palace, Sang Liwan saw Jun Mochen greeting the ministers at a glance, and Chen Yan was standing next to him, with a faint smile on her face, and there was no trace of her previous cold look.
Sang Liwan narrowed his eyes slightly.
[It seems that the previous failures have made Chen Yan anxious.]
[She even started to please Jun Mochen. How interesting.]
Jun Moyi had not paid any attention to Jun Mochen and Chen Yan at first, but after hearing what Sang Liwan was thinking, he felt a little curious.
He raised his eyes and saw Chen Yan saying something to Jun Mochen with a faint smile on her face.
Jun Mochen, on the other hand, had a very indifferent expression on his face, completely different from the look he had when facing Chen Yan before.
This is really interesting.
