Mu Run stood up from the tatami chair, wanting to go over and take a look.
Fu Yunchen raised his hand to stop her, then walked up to the man in black, raised his hand and ripped the mask off the man's face with a burst of energy, revealing his true face.
Although Mu Run couldn't go over, she still peeked at him with her eyes wide open.
It was a completely unfamiliar face; I didn't recognize it.
"Who is he? Is he here to kill me?"
“They must be after me.” Fu Yunchen glanced at her sideways. “Everyone knows that the current empress doesn’t govern, let alone spend her days and nights dealing with state affairs, except for me, the hardworking prime minister.”
"What are you saying... I'll deal with one of you tonight." Mu Run immediately walked to the imperial desk, picked up the pen that Fu Yunchen had placed next to the inkstone, and struck a very imposing pose.
Fu Yunchen looked at her with amusement, "Alright, then you can handle the rest of the memorials."
After saying that, he carried the motionless man in black, who seemed to be neither alive nor dead, out of the room.
Mu Run hurriedly put down his pen, wanting to follow, but was locked in the study by the palace door that slammed shut.
Fu Yunchen's voice came through the door, "There are three books in total. I will come to check the results in an hour."
"It won't take an hour, it'll be done in a quarter of an hour!" Mu Run said, puffing out his cheeks.
Fu Yunchen's pleasant chuckle faded into the distance.
Mu Run had no choice but to pick up his pen again and begin to read through the memorial word by word.
An hour later, Fu Yunchen arrived.
Mu Run was sleeping with her head on her desk. As for the three memorials, she hadn't finished dealing with any of them. To be precise, she got sleepy before she could finish reading them, so she simply lay down and went to sleep.
Anyway, she's pregnant, so she can do whatever she wants and not do any work.
Fu Yunchen glanced at the pen that had been tossed aside, sighed softly, and quickly finished processing the remaining three memorials. In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, he picked her up and carried her toward the bedchamber.
Mu Run woke up groggily, smelling the fresh and pleasant scent of his bath on him. "You've taken a shower?"
"Go back to sleep."
"I didn't intentionally slack off; I only went to sleep because the child wanted to."
"...Yes! I know."
"I will continue reviewing them tomorrow."
"No need, I've already taken care of it."
"Oh, there's a grand court assembly tomorrow. What if the child doesn't want to attend?"
"...Then there's no need to go."
The only response to Fu Yunchen was the sound of even breathing.
...
After staying with Mu Run for half the night, Fu Yunchen got up.
He changed into a set of plain blue clothes and left the palace.
Outside the palace gates, Qiao Dongzi and Bai Shalu were waiting for him.
"Boss, we're an hour late," Qiao Dongzi said.
Bai Shalu secretly kicked him, "Hey! It's good enough that you even came."
Qiao Dongzi suddenly realized, "That's true."
Fu Yunchen: "...I'm gone."
Qiao Dongzi: "Boss, where do we go first?"
Fu Yunchen: "The location of the recent family annihilation case."
The house, where the entire family had been wiped out, was exceptionally gloomy and terrifying at night, even exuding a chilling, bloody aura. But for Fu Yunchen and his two companions, it was as if they were walking on flat ground. In fact, the sinister atmosphere was completely swept away by their imposing presence.
All three of them have night vision, especially Fu Yunchen, whose vision is no different from daytime vision.
"What did you find?" Fu Yunchen asked Qiao Dongzi.
Qiao Dongzi said, "Boss, there doesn't seem to be any sign of struggle. Just as the coroner determined, the victims and their family were likely killed in their sleep."
Bai Shalu came in from outside, saying, "There's something in the dry well in the backyard of this house."
