Long Qianyi respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I encountered General Fu on the road. I saw General Fu rushing over on horseback and bumped into me, which led to this situation."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Well, it's not impossible for the Third Prince to leave the palace. You can just tell me directly. You should rest for now."
"General Fu, how is the investigation into the missing official salt ships that I asked you to investigate going?"
Fu Lingtian glanced warily at the group led by Long Qianyi, "Your Majesty."
"No need to worry. The Third Prince is my good friend. General, please speak freely."
"Hmph, those scoundrels, they talk a good game but they don't do it themselves. In my opinion, they're the ones who did it!"
"They were all quite eloquent and flattering, but because of their high status, I did not have the authority to investigate further, which is why I returned to my capital."
Upon hearing these words, Long Qianyi knew that their operation was progressing smoothly, and at least the emperor would not guess for the time being that he was the mastermind.
He's sick, he has a yandere-like nature; if he can't have the person he likes, he'll destroy them. He knows Wen Jinghao has a group of people who want to kill him.
He would do Fu Lingtian a favor and rather let Fu Lingtian destroy it than let Fu Lingtian get it!
After thinking for a moment, Long Qianyi asked Lin Xiao curiously, "What's wrong with the Emperor lately? You all seem very nervous."
"Something happened in the palace. What happened?"
Lin Xiao looked up and glanced at Long Qianyi with a different look in his eyes: "Oh, Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness. It's just that there has been a traitor in our country recently, which has made life miserable for the people of Daliu Town."
"That's why we're in such a hurry. This should be the time for the two countries to be on good terms, but instead, trouble has arisen. Therefore, it would be best for the Third Prince not to move around unnecessarily."
"I am fine, but I am worried about the safety of the Third Prince, otherwise I will have no way to explain myself!"
Lin Xiao, seated on the dragon throne, gestured to him, saying, "Fu Lingtian, please continue."
"Well, it's just that Song Bin's appearance in the middle of all this seems a bit strange to me. Why did he appear so coincidentally?"
"Moreover, the younger brother is taciturn, while the older brother is upright and righteous, as if they weren't blood brothers. But they are blood brothers!"
Fu Lingtian recalled the two people he met on his first day. At that time, he did think that they were fine.
Long Qianyi sighed inwardly. His worries were finally relieved; it turned out they hadn't revealed any flaws.
Haha, the Song brothers are really something, they can even put on such a convincing act. This makes my plan to use someone else to do my dirty work even more effective.
"oh?"
Lin Xiao asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"The two entered the room from the back and bumped into me, which is why I said I wanted to confront the prime minister."
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and smiled, stopping him from saying what he wanted to know.
"Where is the government-owned salt now? Has General Fu found out?"
"Yes, we found out, but I can't be sure it's government salt. They could also insist it's their private salt."
Fu Lingtian bit his lower lip and lowered his head to state the facts he had witnessed.
"Yes, that's true. Without sufficient evidence to arrest someone, it can't prove anything. Li Yan is also the current prime minister."
"I cannot relax too much. By the way, General Fu must be tired from your journey, and so must the Third Prince, who has been nagging me for so long. Why don't you go back and rest?"
