"Ah--" Wei Qingqiu screamed in disbelief, covering his head. Finally, unable to bear this fact, he fainted.
Tian Yongchang also felt weak and unsteady, and was about to faint.
On the second day, Ni Yueshan was shaken awake. She looked at Qingdie in front of her with confusion in her eyes.
"how?"
"Miss, something happened, the eldest young master of the Tian family is dead!"
Ni Yueshan sat up in bed in shock. She remembered Zou Yangyao's words. He had reminded her not to let Jing Yuchen go to find Tian Hanmo again.
Now the news came out that someone had died.
"Did the Tian family do anything?"
Qingdie shook her head: "I just learned the news and came to tell you, young lady. I don't know anything else. Why don't you go to the Second Prince's Mansion and take a look?"
Ni Yueshan quickly got up and headed for the Second Prince's residence. A number of people had gathered outside the residence. Judging from their attire, they were undoubtedly officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple.
They surrounded the prince's mansion, and most of the people at the door were onlookers.
Ni Yueshan got off the carriage and walked towards the palace. The soldiers immediately stopped her and said, "Miss, there is a murder case in the Second Prince's palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"
Ni Yueshan looked at the officers and soldiers, frowned and reminded: "I am the eldest daughter of the Ni family, the second prince's fiancée!"
"The Dali Temple is investigating a case. No one is allowed to enter without a warrant!"
Ni Yueshan wanted to say something else, but she knew that these people would not let her go.
Ni Yueshan looked at Qingdie who was standing beside her. Qingdie pulled Ni Yueshan away and then said, "This servant can take you in, young lady!"
"good!"
At a corner of the wall of the Second Prince's Mansion, Qingdie and Ni Yueshan flew into the mansion. As soon as they landed in the Second Prince's Mansion, soldiers rushed out and put swords on their necks.
Ni Yueshan and Qingdie quickly raised their hands in surrender. They were ruthlessly thrown out. Qingdie asked Ni Yueshan, "Miss, what should we do now?"
"Go to the General's Mansion!"
Outside the general's residence, guards stopped the two of them. Ni Yueshan frowned and reminded them, "I have an urgent matter with your general. Please inform me immediately!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was very serious, even anxious.
The guard came back quickly after reporting and invited Ni Yueshan in.
In the courtyard, Zou Yangyao had obviously just finished practicing sword. He was wearing a thin white inner garment, and his chest muscles stuck to the clothes. The perfect lines made people unable to help but take a second look.
He took the dry towel from the maid's hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His eyes fell on Ni Yueshan, "Are you here for the Second Prince's matter?"
Before Ni Yueshan could speak, Zou Yangyao had already seen through her.
Zou Yangyao walked towards the stone table and sat down, and Ni Yueshan followed him.
"I'd really like to know how the general can predict the future. Could you give me some more clues?"
Zou Yangyao frowned and chuckled: "What else do you want to know from me? Who is the murderer?"
His expression was somewhat nonchalant, and he was not anxious because of Ni Yueshan.
"I just want to know, did the person who killed Tian Hanmo want to harm the Second Prince?"
Zou Yangyao picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Facing Ni Yueshan's question, he was not in a hurry to answer. Seeing his silence, Ni Yueshan's expression became more serious: "Why, it's hard to answer?"
Zou Yangyao put down his teacup and sighed, "If I wanted to tell you so much, I would have told you that day."
Ni Yueshan sighed. Zou Yangyao knew all this. Does that mean Zou Yangyao knew the murderer?
Ni Yueshan stood up from his seat: "You and I are enemies. I don't know what happened to me. I actually came to ask you and thought you would tell me!"
Ni Yueshan turned and walked out, feeling a bit self-deprecating.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Qingdie followed Ni Yueshan and asked, "Do we need to go to the Tian family to see the body in person?"
"If I had shown it to you, I would have gone there long ago!"
The people in the Tian family not only hate Jing Yuchen, but also hate her, right?
Outside the Dali Temple, Ni Yueshan introduced herself, but the jailer stopped her at the gate and said, "How can a woman like you be allowed to enter and leave such a prestigious place as this?"
"I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister. Concubine Shuang lives in the Prime Minister's residence. I'm here on her behalf to inquire about the results of Doctor He's interrogation. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"
Ni Yueshan's words obviously fooled the jailer, and he finally let him go.
Ni Yueshan was taken to the door of a cell, where a man was tied to a wooden frame. He was beaten all over, with his head lowered, and looked dying.
The jailer nearby said, "We've tortured him a lot, but he still hasn't revealed who's behind it. Although he's still breathing, I believe he won't be alive for long."
As he was speaking, the cell door was opened and Ni Yueshan walked in. Doctor He was still unconscious at this time. The jailer skillfully poured a basin of cold water on him. Doctor He slowly woke up from the coma, and blood dripped down.
When he saw who was standing in front of him, he didn't react and closed his eyes again.
Ni Yueshan looked at his injuries and said sympathetically, "You could have been a leisurely doctor in the Prime Minister's residence, but you chose to take a path of no return, and you're not afraid of death. You're very loyal to the one who ordered you."
Doctor He ignored him, still with his head lowered, looking very weak. Ni Yueshan smiled and said, "Ignore me? Haha, is there anyone Doctor He cares about?"
He remained silent, and Ni Yueshan continued to remind him, "The eldest young master of the Tian family is dead."
Doctor He was originally listening to Ni Yueshan calmly, but at this moment, he immediately became excited. He wanted to rush forward and bite Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan continued, "Do you have any close friends or relatives in the army?"
Doctor He became increasingly agitated. He looked at Ni Yueshan with bloodshot eyes, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ni Yueshan laughed. "Finally, you're willing to talk? Actually, it's nothing. I just want to arrest all the people in the army who are close to you, interrogate them, and use the same torture as you did. What do you think?"
Although Ni Yueshan had a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold. When they looked at him, people felt a chill running down their feet.
Doctor He felt threatened. He gritted his teeth and angrily said, "Despicable!"
Ni Yueshan snorted, "You guys schemed to harm me, and I still think you're despicable. Same here!"
Ni Yueshan walked out and ordered Qingdie, "Ride as fast as you can now. Arrest everyone in the military camp who has close personal ties with Military Doctor He and bring them back to the capital! Leave them for me to interrogate!"
"Yes!" Qingdie turned and followed him out. Doctor He, who had been reluctant to speak, said anxiously, "Wait! I'll tell you! But you have to promise not to implicate innocent people!"
Ni Yueshan turned around, without any surprise, and simply uttered two words calmly: "Deal."
