The person was shrouded in loose clothes and had a hood on her head, so her face could not be seen clearly, but her figure was very familiar.
She took off her hood and looked at Jing Chengzhi: "Fourth Prince, you are so eager to destroy the evidence and even want to kill people to silence them. Are you guilty?"
Jing Chengzhi's face was sullen: "So it was you who was causing trouble!"
Ni Yueshan chuckled, "Fourth Prince, just surrender obediently! Come back to the Dali Temple with me. The Dali Temple Minister will consider you a prince and won't abuse your power!"
"A fugitive, an empty box, how can you conclude that this prince is guilty?"
He looked contemptuous and turned to leave.
Ni Yueshan stood there, looking at Jing Chengzhi and said loudly, "Then why don't you explain why you tried to kill the Minister's wife and why you destroyed this wooden box?"
Jing Chengzhi paused, turned around, and looked at Ni Yueshan unhappily: "You colluded with the Shangshu's wife, who should be in prison. This prince will go back and report this to the Dali Temple!"
Afterwards, he turned around and started to leave, but he had only taken two steps when the officers and soldiers stepped forward and surrounded him.
Then, another person walked out from behind the crowd. He was wearing the uniform of a third-rank official. His back was a little hunched, his body was thin, and his old eyes looked a little cloudy, but he was full of energy.
He looked at Jing Chengzhi and said, "Fourth Prince, I released this criminal woman to lure the snake out of its hole! Now that you have revealed your evil side, please follow me back to the Dali Temple and accept investigation!"
Jing Chengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly. Kang Xueyi and Ni Yueshan teamed up to trick him!
At this time, Wei Qingqiu stood up from the ground, patted the dirt off her body, and thanked Ni Yueshan repeatedly.
"I originally thought the murderer would be you and the Second Prince, but I didn't expect it to be the Fourth Prince."
She wiped her tears and grieved again for her son's death.
Ni Yueshan said solemnly, "My goal has been achieved. I have cleared the Second Prince of suspicion. As for who the real murderer is and how to investigate the case, it has nothing to do with me. As for you, you should also be mentally prepared to be beheaded!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan walked out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers. Qingfeng stood in the dark. It was obvious that he was the one who handed the box to Wei Qingqiu in the pavilion.
The two returned to the Prime Minister's residence together. Everything went smoothly. Ni Yueshan was too lazy to look for Jing Yuchen again and send him a carrier pigeon.
After that, Ni Yueshan fell asleep, but early in the morning she felt an unbearable itch in her nose. She stretched out her hand and waved it, but it felt like she hit something.
She woke up from her dream with a start, and was a little surprised when she saw who it was.
Judging from the light in the room, it was just dawn.
Ni Yueshan narrowed his eyes: "Why are you here so early?"
"Yesterday I only waited for a carrier pigeon, but no one. The soldiers surrounding the palace have already withdrawn, so I came to see you."
Ni Yueshan lazily lay on the bed: "What's there to see about me? You might as well go to the Dali Temple to hear the result."
Jing Yuchen sighed: "Going there won't change anything, so I might as well have breakfast with you."
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen questioningly: "You came so early just to have breakfast?"
"Of course not." Jing Yuchen stood up: "Hurry up and get dressed."
Then he walked out. Ni Yueshan supported her forehead with her hands, and for a moment she couldn't think of what Jing Yuchen was going to do next.
After the two of them had breakfast together, Jing Yuchen said, "Let's go and see your father."
At this moment, Ni Yueshan seemed to react immediately and realized what he was going to do.
In the living room, Ni Gaofei was sitting on the armchair. Seeing Jing Yuchen approaching, he stood up. Jing Yuchen immediately stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. Today, I would like to discuss my marriage with Yue Shan with you."
It was said at the beginning that the two of them could get married after Ni Yueshuang returned to the palace, but Ni Yueshuang died, which was no different from returning to the palace.
"Just the two of you can discuss it. I only need to know one result."
"Dad, you are the elder, so of course I have to ask you about this kind of life-long event!"
Ni Gaofei sat back down with a serious expression.
"Your wedding has been delayed twice already. Do you want to get married as soon as possible this time?"
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister guessed it right!" Jing Yuchen responded with a compliment.
Ni Yueshan was waiting calmly for Ni Gaofei to give the result.
"Weddings need preparation. Even if we hurry up now, it will take several days. It's better to find someone to calculate an auspicious date and get it done as soon as possible!"
When Jing Yuchen heard the words "as soon as possible", his eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Lord Prime Minister!"
Then he turned to look at Ni Yueshan and raised his eyebrows at her.
Ni Yueshan didn't respond, just rolled her eyes at him.
Seeing the small interaction between the two, Ni Gaofei's expression softened a little: "You two should discuss the small details, and I won't get involved."
He stood up and left, leaving Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen alone.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen and said, "It seems that the Prime Minister's Residence doesn't need much preparation. The main thing is the Prince's Residence, right? Besides, with the Fourth Prince in prison, at this critical moment, would the Emperor agree to our wedding at this time?"
Jing Yuchen's eyelids twitched, "I'll do what I want to do. As for the emperor, let's ignore him for now!"
Ni Yueshan leaned back in the chair, not looking worried or anxious at all. Jing Yuchen felt a little helpless.
"Why does it seem like this is my wedding alone? Do you want to go see Yu Fei and Shao Lecheng today?"
Ni Yueshan immediately stood up: "Okay."
Shao Lecheng took Zou Yangyao's belongings and divided them up to pawn inside and outside the city. He managed to finish pawning all his belongings and earned money to improve the children's meals.
