“Yes, the Dali Temple has started working on this case, and it’s become quite complicated,” Black Hawk said.
Wang Li and the others listening nearby were also alarmed.
They all looked at Chen Siyuan with concern.
"What's going on?" Chen Siyuan forced herself to calm down.
"Madam Su stepped forward and identified your father as the murderer."
"What?"
Chen Siyuan believed her father wouldn't do that, and hearing this made her very worried.
This makes things difficult.
The deceased was Minister Su, not an ordinary citizen. More importantly, Minister Su was the examiner at the time. If this matter were to become public, Wenxuan might also be implicated.
Thinking about this sends chills down my spine.
She longed to see her father, but now she didn't know where he was.
Another irrational thought crossed her mind: she wanted her father to stay away for the time being, until the whole truth of the case was revealed.
"Who will handle Minister Su's matter now?"
Who is the presiding judge is crucial to this case.
If someone deliberately frames you at this point, things will become difficult to handle.
"It is the Grand Secretary."
"Grand Secretary?" This man was old and a seasoned veteran. After thinking for a moment, Chen Siyuan asked, "Whose side is the Grand Secretary on?"
This is crucial.
Black Hawk looked at Chen Siyuan, surprised that she even knew this. Remembering what his master had said when he left, he quickly said, "Seventh Prince."
"That's great. Go and see if you can get him to handle this matter fairly." Thinking of the Grand Secretary's attitude towards her that day, she believed that the Grand Secretary should be able to handle this pressure.
Chen Siyuan knew that when faced with a case, especially one that involved the interests of many people, he would often encounter pressure from many people. Judging from the old man's shrewdness, he should be able to withstand some of the pressure.
She was a little worried about this person, though. She wouldn't be too worried if the case was handled by Su Wen, but it was a bit risky to leave it with the Grand Secretary.
"Yes." Black Hawk left quickly.
There's a temporary lull in things concerning my father, but the key is to find the murderer as soon as possible, and all of this must be done in secret.
While I was thinking about something, Yang Lei suddenly arrived.
"Young Madam," Yang Lei said from outside the door.
Chen Siyuan looked over and saw that when Yang Lei and Qiao Yuchen left, they took Wang Yong with them but left Yang Lei behind.
"Enter."
Yang Lei came in and took out a letter from his sleeve. "Young Madam, this is your letter."
Chen Siyuan thought it was from Qiao Yuchen, but then she realized something was wrong. It was always a carrier pigeon, so why was it from him?
He glanced at it and opened the letter.
Soon, Chen Siyuan saw the familiar handwriting.
She cried with emotion.
After a long while, having calmed down, she looked at Yang Lei and asked, "Where did this letter come from?"
"He brought it himself, saying it was inconvenient for him to meet with the young mistress."
Yang Lei explained it clearly, and Chen Siyuan felt relieved after hearing this.
Now she finally understands the general outline, though she doesn't know exactly what happened. She knows she's not alone now.
Thinking and thinking, she looked at Yang Lei and asked, "Could you...?"
"We have already assigned someone to follow up."
Hearing this, Chen Siyuan was truly relieved.
She was relieved as long as her father was alright.
This also shows that the father really did something important.
Thinking that the letter mentioned that her eldest brother had been taken away by the soldiers was a good thing, so she didn't need to worry, and that her grandmother would also leave tonight.
She didn't know if what her father said was true or if he was just trying to comfort her, but she still immediately sent Wang Li to the Chen family to protect her grandmother and asked Yang Lei to check on her older brother's current situation.
While waiting, Chen Siyuan couldn't say anything.
The waiting time felt long, and Chen Siyuan unconsciously fiddled with the amber earrings in her hand.
She only has one amber earring now, and the other one should also be in the Emperor's hands. At this moment, she doesn't have the brains to dare to go to the Emperor and ask for it back.
Chen Siyuan couldn't help but wonder what the relationship was between her mother and the emperor.
Friends?
friend?
Or... an enemy?
Chen Siyuan dared not think too deeply about this last point. What should she do if it were all true?
I am now absolutely certain that my mother and the Emperor know each other, but I have no idea what their relationship is.
This also clearly confirmed my original idea.
My maternal grandfather has been investigating my mother's whereabouts for years, but to no avail. It is the Emperor who is secretly obstructing our investigation.
She didn't know why, and she couldn't easily reveal her identity yet.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
The Emperor's relationships were complicated. Even if the Emperor had no hostility towards her mother, or if her mother's death was not directly related to the Emperor, it cannot be denied that the Emperor was involved. She did not know exactly what role he played.
As she thought about it, she felt a headache coming on.
At times like this, I really wish I had a shoulder to lean on, even if it's just for a while.
While Chen Siyuan was experiencing mixed feelings, Wang Li returned.
Upon seeing Wang Li, Chen Siyuan exclaimed excitedly, "How was it?"
"Young Madam, Old Madam Chen has left."
"Leave? How can she leave?" Chen Siyuan was frightened. How exactly did her grandmother leave? Was she kidnapped, or did her father say she should leave?
"Old Madam Chen left on her own." Wang Li still couldn't believe it. She had been in the Chen family for so many years and never knew that Old Madam Chen had martial arts skills, and even surpassed his own.
