Just as Wan Ge returned to the palace gate with Jing Chen, the maid told her that Lord An was waiting for her.
So, Wan Ge let Jing Chen go back first, while she went to the reception room.
Lord An looked extremely uneasy, and immediately stood up when he saw Wan Ge appear.
"Judging from Lord An's reaction, has he found a clue?" Wan Ge looked at the man's flustered appearance and knew that he must have found something. But at this moment, what he could find out wouldn't be particularly important.
"Your Majesty, you are right. I have indeed found a traitor among us, but my subordinates are incompetent and still do not know who it is." Lord An was also extremely agitated. How could this be? How could they not know who it was! How could they not know who it was!
"Now that it's confirmed, please continue the investigation, Lord An. There will definitely be results."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty... Do you have anyone you suspect?" Looking at her calm demeanor, Lord An suddenly had this thought in his mind.
The next second, all I heard was her calm reply: "No."
Lord An was almost in tears. It's a bit outrageous that he could remain so calm without you.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord An." Wan Ge patted him on the shoulder and granted Lord An even higher privileges.
The original owner had been cultivating an elite force that would only be used in special circumstances, but now it was quite special.
Even if Wan Ge knew who the spy was, she couldn't say because she hadn't done anything. Accusing Caius without any evidence could easily backfire.
It would be better to let people properly search for evidence, so that they have stronger evidence and everything else will be easier to discuss. Besides, this matter wasn't discovered by themselves, but by someone else.
"It's no trouble at all. Your Majesty is willing to serve you forever." Lord An's gaze was extremely firm. Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he had always known that His Majesty was a very reliable person who would never let him down.
Wan Ge gave him a very satisfied look, and then left.
…
Before returning to her own palace, Wange went to Jingchen's place, but no one was in the room. A moment later, a person wearing a bathrobe appeared in the room.
Wan Ge looked at Jing Chen in front of her. Jing Chen didn't expect Wan Ge to appear in his room at this time.
“Eh? This…” Wan Ge’s fingertip landed on the jade gourd he was wearing around his neck.
Jing Chen touched it and then replied, "I've worn this around my neck as long as I can remember, so I've kept it."
Perhaps it was the only clue his family gave him, but he didn't expect to have any family left.
If he still had family, they would have found him long ago. Why would they completely abandon him?
Of course, if he never intended to find him, Jing Chen had no reason to like him, because they had essentially abandoned him. Why would he like someone who had abandoned him?
"Hmm, it's quite pretty." Wan Ge felt that there was something strange about this jade gourd. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but she just had a gut feeling that something was off about it.
Generally speaking, if something feels wrong intuitively, there must be something wrong. Wan Ge was already certain in her heart, but she still needed to confirm it.
Why did Caius already know as soon as they returned? Why did that strange beast appear exactly where they landed?
Perhaps this is because there is something they suspect in the locator.
