"How are you feeling?"
The caring words were filled with heartache, and the person was still so gentle, but Ni Yueshan felt extremely uncomfortable.
She threw herself into Jing Yuchen's arms, and then took a few deep breaths in his arms: "Has Sister Yu's body been found? Does she have any family?"
"Two bodies were found in the inn. Judging from their positions, the charred corpse is not much different from Yu Fei's... The positions match. Please accept my condolences!"
Ni Yueshan lowered his eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Before he could speak, he saw a woman standing not far away, stopped and bowed.
Ni Yueshan frowned, "Concubine? Why are you here?"
Ni Yueshan would naturally lose his temper when he saw anyone who was irritable...
The concubine hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Hasn't your elder sister been playing chess with me these past few days?"
Ni Yueshan was slightly stunned. Yes, Xiao Chuer was impersonating her, but because of the Queen's warning, she had to pretend to be on good terms with this concubine, so they played chess almost every day.
She had heard all this reported to her, but when she saw this man, she became even more irritated. She frowned and said sternly, "Back off. I'm not in the mood!"
After the people left, Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen and said, "Let's thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire! When I went to the fire, I clearly found that the fire was most intense around my door, and I smelled a smell of oil..."
Ni Yueshan's eyes darkened slightly. She had just returned to the capital when someone discovered where she lived and took action.
Seeing Ni Yueshan's fierce eyes and the cold aura surrounding her, she looked very unapproachable. Jing Yuchen hugged Ni Yueshan distressedly and said to her comfortingly: "I have found all these clues and am investigating them. Don't worry too much. If you don't want to perfunctory your mother and go to the palace to act, then I will let Xiao Chuer continue to play you!"
Ni Yueshan was puzzled: "Why do you want to enter the palace?"
"My mother has recently taken a liking to opera. She invited a troupe into the palace and asked many young ladies from aristocratic families to go with her. Firstly, she wanted to see which of the women would be suitable to be her next daughter-in-law. Secondly, she wanted to win people's hearts. Thirdly, she wanted to suppress you!"
Jing Yuchen sounded a little tired, he saw through all of this too clearly!
Surprise flashed in Ni Yueshan's eyes. It turned out to be like this...
"Then...I'll go!"
Ni Yueshan's answer surprised Jing Yuchen. "You haven't calmed down yet, have you?"
Ni Yueshan did not respond to Jing Yuchen's words, but asked in return: "The current queen is not your real mother, right?"
Jing Yuchen found the question very strange, but nodded obediently.
Ni Yueshan asked again, "Do you think she truly treats you as her son, or is she using you as a pawn to secure her position as queen?"
Jing Yuchen frowned and responded, "The latter!"
"Then let me enter the palace!"
Ni Yueshan sat in front of the bronze mirror. Her cheeks had been burned by the fire and had not yet recovered. They looked a little red, chapped, and even a little scary.
Ni Yueshan frowned and put on a veil. Her eyes, which were exposed outside the veil, were sharp.
After putting on the Crown Princess's apricot-yellow palace dress, Ni Yueshan asked Xiao Chuer to put her hair into a formal bun and put on a heavy golden hairpin!
A bright red gem hung in front of her hairpin, hanging down between her forehead like an embellishment, further emphasizing the charm of her eyes.
She stood up and took a deep breath. Xiao Chu'er beside her said with some concern, "I'm fine right now. You can let me go in your place! Besides, I've been by the Queen's side these days and have never made any mistakes. So you can rest assured if I go!"
Xiao Chuer's words were full of concern, but Ni Yueshan didn't feel happy when he heard it.
"I will use my identity to deal with all those who want to be my enemy!"
This sounded very strange. Xiao Chu'er said in confusion, "Why do you say that? Do you think the fire was set by the Queen? Impossible! You are the daughter of the Prime Minister. With the Prime Minister supporting the Crown Prince, the Queen must be so happy!"
"How could I want to harm you?" Xiao Chuer looked at Ni Yueshan very confusedly, thinking that Ni Yueshan must have misunderstood something!
But Ni Yueshan responded with a gloomy look in her eyes: "But do you think you went to the palace voluntarily these days? If she wanted to treat you well, would she let you in so often?"
"Even if she is the queen, I will fight anyone who displeases me now!"
Her eyes were firm and full of confidence, which made people convinced, so Xiao Chuer shut up.
