Chapter 326: The decisive new emperor x the poor princess of the previous dynasty 9

Aunt Qiao slowly stood up and rubbed the edge of her clothes with her delicate fingers. No emotion could be heard in her tone. "Just now, Caiying confessed something to me."

"Someone bribed Chaeyoung and Leo to poison me."

Shunfeng shuddered and suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Caiying and Xiao Lizi with murderous eyes.

"Princess, it was my negligence. I will take them down and interrogate them now."

Aunt Qiao chuckled and pointed at Little Li and said, "There's no need for Caiying. Little Li is the contact person. Pin Little Li down and interrogate him carefully to see who is so bold as to want to poison me to death."

Shunfeng frowned and asked in embarrassment, "Princess, do you want to keep Caiying?"

Aunt Qiao raised her eyes and said calmly, "Why not?"

Shunfeng did not dare to disobey Aunt Qiao's words. He looked at Caiying deeply, grabbed Xiao Lizi and dragged him out.

Aunt Qiao has her own plans. Since Caiying is fearless and confessed the matter, she might be her loyal maid in the future and she would still be useful to her. As for Little Li, he is too shrewd to be a close friend.

[Host, you are really smart. You managed to get yourself out of danger so easily.]

"Learn from me. I have acquired these skills from acting in too many palace dramas. Palace fighting is really taxing."

The system was a little confused. There were ancient dimensions in the previous worlds, so why didn't it think the host was so smart? Locking up the memory did activate some of the brain.

Aunt Qiao said she would save Caiying and really made sure that Caiying was safe and sound. This made Caiying even more determined to serve the princess well in the future and not to make any mistakes or let anyone hurt the princess.

This matter could be big or small, Shunfeng did not dare to hide anything and reported it to Jun Molin.

Jun Molin looked at Shunfeng who was kneeling on the ground and asking for forgiveness, and said with a sullen face, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Shunfeng rested his forehead on the ground, not daring to stand up. He answered Jun Molin's question honestly, "My lord, it was a guard who bribed Xiao Lizi. Xiao Lizi said that he had seen this guard several times in the palace."

"The palace guards?" Jun Molin thought for a moment and said, "Let Shunqing investigate this matter. He must find the person behind the scenes. I will not allow anyone who threatens the princess to exist."

"As for you, you will still be punished for dereliction of duty. You still have to protect the princess, so I will fine you twenty military sticks. Go and receive the punishment yourself."

Shunfeng understood that the twenty military sticks were already a leniency. It seemed that the eldest princess meant more to the emperor than he had imagined.

"I will visit the princess tonight, please make preparations there."

Shunfeng heard this and asked, "Should I ask the princess to wait for you?"

Jun Molin waved his hands and said, "No need. I can't let the princess see me now. I'm afraid she will look at me with hatred. After all, I am her enemy."

Shunfeng stood up and said, "I understand. I will accept the punishment now."

After midnight, a dark shadow flashed across the roof of Aunt Qiao's house.

Because Shunfeng had already arranged everything, Jun Molin entered Jinjin Qiao's bedroom smoothly without any hindrance.

Looking at Aunt Qiao sleeping soundly on the bed, a soft light flashed across Jun Molin's eyes.

Jun Molin lightened his steps, walked to the bedside, and carefully depicted Qiao Jinjin's facial features with his eyes.

Jun Molin didn't even realize how obsessed his eyes were. There was a voice in his heart telling him that the woman in front of him was his, and belonged to him alone.

Jun Molin just stood there and watched, without doing anything inappropriate, and stood by the bed for a full hour.

Shunqing's investigation made new progress on the fifth day.

Shunqing handed a letter to Jun Molin, along with a sachet.

"Master, the guard who bought Little Li is named Zhang Juyuan. This is the letter and the sachet found in his residence."

Jun Molin was in no hurry to read the letter. He took the sachet and looked it over and over again before asking, "What's so special about this sachet?"

Shunqing heard this and said, "I have seen this sachet in Miss Yu's place. Now it appears in Zhang Juyuan's room. The result is self-evident."

Jun Molin didn't say anything. He opened the letter and read it quickly. When he saw the last line, he slammed the table hard and said, "How dare you!"

"Give orders to have Zhang Juyuan beheaded with a stick and Yu Ling given a white silk scarf."

Shunqing had known this would happen and did not say anything. Instead, Liu Cheng tried to stop him, saying, "Hey, Your Majesty, calm down. It would be fine if you wanted to kill Zhang Juyuan, but why did you want to kill Miss Yu?"

Jun Molin glared at Liu Cheng and said, "Just do as I tell you, there's no need to waste your time talking nonsense."

Liu Cheng opened his mouth, but he was just a servant and could not plead for Miss Yu.

Liu Cheng and Shun Qing left the Qinzheng Palace. Shun Qing sighed and said, "I know Miss Yu had pleaded for you before, but this time Miss Yu has indeed committed a capital crime. It's not the Emperor's fault."

Liu Cheng sighed and said, "I have known this day would come. Forget it. I have tried my best. Miss Yu was not like this before. How come she has become so stubborn now?"

Shunqing shook his head helplessly and said, "She is obsessed too much."

"Don't mention Yu Ling anymore, especially after the princess enters the palace, otherwise I won't be able to save you."

Liu Cheng couldn't help but curl his lips. "I hope the emperor can get what he wants. I heard that the riots in various places have eased a lot now. It should be quelled soon."

Shunqing nodded in agreement and said, "You serve the emperor personally. If the princess enters the palace, you must not offend her. The emperor is already protecting her so much now, and he will only be more protective in the future."

Ever since Jun Molin visited Aunt Qiao at night, good things have been sent from the palace to the mansion every few days, and now the mansion is almost full.

Aunt Qiao called Shunfeng to her and looked at him suspiciously. "Tell me honestly, is there something that happened that I don't know about?"

How could Shunfeng possibly say such a thing out loud? He didn't know for more than an hour whether the emperor had done anything excessive to the princess. If he did, he would not be able to afford the princess blaming the emperor.

"Princess, you are too worried. The emperor is not so busy these days and wants to compensate you more. These things are also a little gift from the emperor."

Aunt Qiao couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "A little token of my appreciation? You call this a token of my appreciation? Look at these things, how many of them are of no use to me? Tell the Emperor that I don't need them."
