Looking into Yu Jin's clear eyes, Emperor Jingming nodded.

The Seventh Brother is such an honest child. If that is the case, then we should investigate it thoroughly. Relatives who would bring trouble to the Seventh Brother and his wife should not be tolerated.

Princess Rongyang gritted her teeth secretly.

The person who instigated the playboy to molest the decent girl in the princess's mansion did not show up, but if she investigated further, Jinlinwei would find out that the man's behavior was not spontaneous, but instigated by someone, which would be a trouble for her in the end.

Moreover, if the Emperor knew that the Princess of Yan was not implicated by her relatives but was schemed against by others, it would be too late for him to even sympathize with the Prince of Yan and his wife, let alone punish them.

The Prince of Yan and his wife were more difficult to deal with than she had imagined, so she would have to be extremely careful in her future actions.

Princess Rongyang was upset and could only watch Emperor Jingming give his orders.

The Queen Mother didn't care about this.

A street thug flirted with a decent woman. If it hadn't involved the Prince of Yan and his wife, she wouldn't have even raised an eyelid.

Emperor Jingming stood up and said, "Mother, you must be tired after leaving the palace to burn incense. I will not disturb you to rest."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please go and do your work. I am not tired. I would like to keep Princess Yan to talk to you."

The palace has strict rules and regulations, and it is not appropriate for a prince like Yu Jin, who has already set up a residence outside, to stay for a long time. It would be much more convenient to leave the female relatives behind.

Emperor Jingming was very happy with this, and said calmly: "Then let the seventh son's wife accompany the mother. I can also ask about the seventh son's homework to see if he has been lazy these days. In this way, the couple can go back together."

Yu Jin gave Jiang Si a look and followed Emperor Jingming out of the Cining Palace.

Outside the Cining Palace, it was as cold as ice and snow.

Since the winter solstice, this year's snow has come one after another, and it seems to be particularly heavy.

Emperor Jingming exhaled, and white smoke came out of his nostrils. The scenery in the distance was also shrouded in a thin mist.

Yu Jin walked beside Emperor Jingming without saying a word.

Of course, we cannot mention such things outside.

Both father and son quickened their pace.

Pan Hai opened the door of Yu's study and helped Emperor Jingming in.

Emperor Jingming sat down, took a sip of the hot tea offered by Pan Hai, and said to Yu Jin: "Tell me what clues you have found."

Pan Hai glanced at Yu Jin quickly and then lowered his eyelids.

Prince Yan got the clue so quickly?

But the Prince of Yan just flipped through the list he compiled that day, and didn't even call anyone in for questioning. If he could find out clues in the palace just by sitting in the palace, wouldn't he be just sitting there doing nothing?

Pan Hai had deep doubts about Yu Jin's words.

Yu Jin, who had been prepared for a long time, said directly: "My son speculates that the person is in Ci Ning Palace."

Emperor Jingming's face suddenly darkened, and he slammed the table: "How dare you!"

The teacup that he had just placed next to him trembled and made a slight sound when it was hit.

Pan Hai was stunned.

He had always thought that the Prince of Yan was very courageous, but he never expected him to be so courageous.

"Nonsense! Do you think you can talk nonsense to the Empress Dowager?" Compared to what happened just now in Cining Palace, Emperor Jingming was really angry at this moment.

Could it be that this kid is upset because the Queen Mother mentioned the incense burning issue to him?

Yu Jin seemed to be frightened by Emperor Jingming's reaction, and said hesitantly, "How dare I speak ill of the Empress Dowager? I only speculated that the man was hiding in Cining Palace. I was worried that the man was too close to the Empress Dowager, and it would be terrible if he attacked her, so I hurried to tell you... I wonder if I didn't think it through. I'll report it to you in detail after I find solid evidence."

Seeing that Yu Jin kept his mouth shut, Emperor Jingming became anxious again.

The Seventh Brother was right to worry. If that person was really in Cining Palace, what would happen if he attacked the Empress Dowager?

Emperor Jingming did not care about offending the empress dowager for a moment and asked, "Who is that person?"

Yu Jin glanced at Pan Hai.

"You don't have to look at Pan Hai, Pan Hai is an honest man."

Yu Jin pursed her lips.

The Eunuch Bingbi and the Governor of Dongchang was an honest man... Well, the emperor is the most important, and everything he said is right.

"Of course my son trusts Eunuch Pan. I was able to guess who that person was from a blank slate, thanks to the list compiled by Eunuch Pan." Yu Jin took the opportunity to flatter Pan Hai.

Pan Hai naturally appreciated it and thought to himself that Prince Yan was really good, an honest man like him.

Yu Jin took out the folded paper from his sleeve, opened it, and presented it to Emperor Jingming: "It should be this person."

He didn't dare to say it so confidently at first, but when Jiang Si quietly pointed out Nanny Duo in Cining Palace, he felt confident enough.

He had said long ago that working backwards from the results to the process would save time and effort and would be foolproof.

Pan Hai glanced at the paper and saw many names, several of which were outlined and one name was circled in red.

Pan Hai's first reaction was not to look at the name, but to exclaim in amazement: The King of Yan really has a photographic memory!

After exclaiming, I saw the name clearly.

"Madam Duo?" Emperor Jingming had no impression of this name and could not help but look at Pan Hai.

Although he went to Cining Palace many times, he only noticed two or three confidants around the Empress Dowager, and there seemed to be no such person as Nanny Duo.

Pan Hai knew Nanny Duo and said hurriedly, "She can enter the Queen Mother's room and sometimes she will pass messages to various places in the harem on behalf of the Queen Mother. But she is a relatively honest person and is not the most capable person around the Queen Mother..."

It was so common for a maid to occasionally deliver messages for the Empress Dowager that it was no surprise that the Emperor had no impression of her.

In fact, it's not just the harem with its strict hierarchy, but also the slaves in the wealthy families who can enter the mistress' room are considered to be doing well.

In the backyard, there are rules about which servants can enter the master's room, and if they barge in without permission, they will be punished.

Emperor Jingming stared at Yu Jin with burning eyes: "Why do you think she is that person?"

"Intuition." Yu Jin replied quickly.

Emperor Jingming frowned consciously.

These two words alone cannot convince him. The only person in the world who can convince him with the word "intuition" is Old Zhen.

Humph, not even my son can do that.

Yu Jin scratched his nose at the unequal treatment and continued, "Of course the more important thing is the clues."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingming sat up straight.

Why didn't you tell me the clue earlier? You idiot, why are you talking about your intuition in front of me?

"say."

"My son bought a cosmetics shop for the princess not long ago. The shop is located on West Market Street."

The corners of Emperor Jingming's mouth twitched.

Showing off will make you love your wife?

Knowing that Yu Jian would not speak without purpose, he still had the patience to listen: "Go on."

"Ms. Chen used strange insects to harm Fuqing. My son has lived in southern Xinjiang for many years and knows that strange arts are prevalent there, so he speculates that the person is likely related to the Wu and Miao ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang."

"What does this have to do with that cosmetics shop?"

"As luck would have it, there is a small shop on the same street as the cosmetics shop. When the princess was managing the shop, she accidentally learned that the shop was opened by a pair of Wu Miao ancestors, so my son ordered people to keep a close eye on it. Just today, my son's people found that this Auntie Duo went to that shop..."

Emperor Jingming couldn't help but change his expression.
