Chapter 316 The truth will naturally emerge
Ye Zheng looked at He Yi and said with a worried look on his face, "Then do you know who was the one who used the magic of annihilation in the harem this time?"
“…”
He Yi smiled faintly: "I don't have a third eye."
“…”
"Even if I really opened my third eye, I wouldn't dare look at the emperor's harem."
Hearing him say this, and even teasingly, Ye Zheng became angry again and said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks here. The emperor has asked Ying Shao and me to investigate this matter. We have three thousand palace maids, and we have to question them one by one. How long will it take for us to finish?"
He Yi smiled and said, "Actually, it's not difficult."
"Then tell me, how do we check?"
"Investigating a case involves investigating three things: the person, the object, and the event."
“…”
"Of course you can't ask people one by one; the things are already in front of you, it depends on whether you can find the clues; as for the matter -"
“…”
"We need to follow the criminal's past actions to find out what his ultimate goal is. Once we determine his goal, we may be able to infer who he is."
“…”
Ye Zheng was confused.
He said, "What's all this mess?"
He Yi couldn't help but smile, then said, "Never mind, it doesn't have to be that complicated. Just do what you can."
“…”
"Perhaps, the truth of the matter will naturally appear before you."
After saying that, he patted his shoulder and turned away.
Ye Zheng frowned as he watched his receding figure, graceful and carefree, like an immortal. After a long pause, he said, "Is this old Taoist priest with a big nose trying to trick me?"

Zhu Feng hurried towards Wuying Palace.
However, from a distance, I saw several people standing at the gate in the sunset. When I got closer, I saw that it was none other than Queen Xu Miaoyin.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Xu Miaoyin saw him as soon as she turned around, and hurried over to bow and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Please stand up."
Zhu Feng raised his hand and glanced at the closed Wuying Hall again. After confirming that no one had entered, he asked, "Why is the Queen here?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "I heard that the emperor has released all the palace maids who were imprisoned."
"It's not a release," Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "I'm just letting them return to the palace temporarily, but until the truth is revealed, they're all guilty."
"I understand."
Xu Miaoyin smiled: "The emperor is kind-hearted and truly a blessing to all the people in the world."
Her words made Zhu Feng's heart move.
He remembered what Nan Yan had said before.
Maybe, she, they were right.
Killing thousands of palace maids for one man might make him a tyrant.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "The Queen came here just to tell me this?"
Xu Miaoyin said: "Originally, yes."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "Originally?"
“…”
"Then Queen, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked up at him, was silent for a moment, and then forced a smile and said, "The emperor has not allowed me to enter the Wuying Palace until now."
“…”
Zhu Feng was slightly stunned.
He actually forgot this.
The emperor and the empress didn't even have a place to sit, so they stood outside the gate of Wuying Palace. Anyone who saw them talking in the cold wind would find it strange.
Xu Miaoyin whispered, "It's because the female official is now in Wuying Palace, right?"
