While waiting for Erniu to enter the palace, the news had already spread, and concubines from various palaces rushed to express their concern, but were fired back by Emperor Jingming.

At this time, he didn't need these concubines to show any kindness and goodness in front of him, they just needed to stop causing trouble.

Until the Queen Mother rushed over from Cining Palace.

"Mother, why are you here?" Emperor Jingming went to greet her.

The Queen Mother sighed: "When something happened to Fuqing and Fourteen, how can I sit still? How are they?"

Emperor Jingming paused for a moment, his face showing deep sorrow: "Fourteen is gone."

"Where is Fuqing?" the Empress Dowager asked anxiously.

"Fuqing was lucky, and was rescued."

Strange color flashed across the Empress Dowager's eyes, and was soon replaced by grief: "Poor Fourteenth Girl... This palace is getting more and more chaotic, and every time it is related to Cining Palace. Your Majesty, you must investigate thoroughly this time, and Cining Palace is no exception. You can't let the bad guys stir up trouble again."

Emperor Jingming nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

The Queen Mother seemed to have just noticed Jiang Si and Yu Jin. She looked at them and asked, "Why did you enter the palace?"

Emperor Jingming replied on their behalf: "Seventh brother worked with Zhen Shicheng before, and I thought he might be able to find out something, so I asked him to come to the palace."

As for the delusion that the Seventh Brother could revive the Fourteenth Brother, let’s not mention it.

At this time, Emperor Jingming realized more and more deeply how lucky Chun Ge'er was to be saved by Yu Jin.

That might be a miracle.

Although the deposed crown prince was sentenced to death for committing witchcraft and Chun Ge'er became a commoner, Emperor Jingming's love for Chun Ge'er did not disappear.

He even loved his innocent and sensible grandson more.

But sometimes even the emperor cannot help himself and cannot show love to a despised grandson.

Emperor Jingming could only suppress his feelings silently and had a better impression of Yu Jin, who saved Chun Ge'er.

"Did the Prince of Yan find out anything?" the Queen Mother asked.

Before Emperor Jingming could reply, Yu Jin said, "We haven't found much yet, but please rest assured, Grandmother, the villain who harmed Fourteenth Sister will be found!"

"Is King Yan so confident?"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "My grandson is learning how to investigate crimes from Master Zhen. The first thing Master Zhen taught me was that the net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it."

The Queen Mother choked, then quickly nodded: "That's good, you are Fourteen's brother, whether Fourteen can rest in peace depends on you."

Jiang Si listened to this silently and sneered in his heart.

The Queen Mother was really eloquent. The incident of Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen falling into the water had nothing to do with them. But after what the Queen Mother said, if nothing could be found out, it would be the fault of the A-Jiang.

Fortunately, she and Ah Jian have never been cowards, and doing their best to find the murderer is what they want to do.

If someone said that what happened today had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, she would not believe it at all.

It’s a pity that her grandmother never mentioned what happened back then, so she didn’t gain anything from it.

Yu Jin raised her lips and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother, I will do my best."

The Queen Mother looked at Yu Jin carefully and nodded slightly: "In this case, I am relieved."

When he said this, his voice trembled slightly, and he could hardly control the sadness that came out of his eyes.

Emperor Jingming hurriedly said, "Mother, I will have someone take you back first."

The Queen Mother shook her head and refused: "No, I want to see with my own eyes that Prince Yan finds the murderer of Fourteenth. Otherwise, I will not be able to rest easy. Thinking about Fourteenth who was so well-behaved and died at such a young age, I feel very sad."

Emperor Jingming sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

Xiao Lezi came over with a big, majestic dog and shouted, "Your Majesty, General Xiaotian has arrived."

Emperor Jingming looked at Erniu eagerly.

Erniu walked past Emperor Jingming, wagging its tail, and then came in front of Jiang Si, wagging its tail.

Emperor Jingming, who was ignored by the crowd, coughed and said to Jiang Si, "Seventh Wife, you can give orders to General Xiaotian."

At the side, Xiao Lezi, who was brought by Erniu personally from Prince Yan's Mansion, wiped his sweat and thought that General Xiaotian was really smart. No wonder Prince Yan asked him to mention them when inviting General Xiaotian, otherwise General Xiaotian would not go with a stranger.

Xiao Lezi sighed like this and glanced at Yu Jin secretly, feeling a bit of sympathy for him for some reason.

In fact, he mentioned the Prince of Yan first. General Xiaotian, who was coaxing the little princess, wagged his tail and hesitated for a long time without moving. Until he mentioned the Princess of Yan, General Xiaotian stood up directly, complained that he walked too slowly, and even nudged him with his mouth.

The status of Prince Yan and his wife in General Xiaotian's heart is so different, I wonder if Prince Yan knows...

Jiang Si touched Erniu's head, put the bloody stone under his nose, and said softly, "Erniu, remember, this is the smell. Go find that person."

Erniu seemed to understand and let out a low call to Jiang, then crawled to the ground and started sniffing.

Everyone watched the large dog, the size of a calf, sniffing around in front of the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother. These nobles stared at it intently, feeling both bizarre and nervous.

Just when everyone was beginning to get impatient, Erniu suddenly stopped and ran in one direction.

Everyone was stunned.

Emperor Jingming immediately shouted: "Follow General Xiaotian!"

A group of people chased in the direction Erniu left.

Erniu seemed to be paying attention to the people who were having fun, so he didn't walk fast. He even looked back from time to time to see if the host and hostess had caught up with him.

The crowd followed for quite a distance without realizing it, and began to have some guesses in their minds.

Where is General Xiaotian going? Judging from this direction, it seems to be the bedroom of a certain queen--

The Queen was most familiar with the harem, and she couldn't help but think: Could it be that Erniu was going to the Chunhua Palace?

A woman with bright eyes and a kind look appeared in the queen's mind.

Could it be Concubine Ning?

The queen’s first thought was that it was impossible.

With Prince Lu's qualifications, what was Concubine Ning trying to do by committing such a crime?

But Erniu did stop at Chunhua Palace and called out to Jiang twice.

Jiang Si bowed to Emperor Jingming and said, "Father, please allow Erniu to inspect Chunhua Palace."

Emperor Jingming's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go check!"

Concubine Ning came out with a surprised look on her face: "Your Majesty, this is--"

She just went to express her concern and was sent back. Why are all these people coming to her?

Emperor Jingming looked at Concubine Ning with a dark tide in his eyes: "The murderer who killed the princess is here."

Concubine Ning's expression suddenly changed: "Impossible!"

She was curiously waiting for things to develop, but how did she get involved?

At this moment, Concubine Ning was completely confused.

Along with the palace servants' exclamations, the sound of dogs barking excitedly was heard from Chunhua Palace.

The crowd was like a tide, all rushing towards the direction where the sound came from.

In a courtyard in the side hall of Chunhua Palace, there are two large vats with clear water and water lilies planted in them.

But today, many lotus leaves floating in one of the large vats fell to the ground, making a mess.

There was a man lying upside down in the jar, and Erniu was barking at him.
