Chapter 87, Part 1: All the prisoners died from the poison, not one was left; it was the Gu worms.



Lu San'er and the others placed the unconscious person aside, then looked at the two people opposite them in shock.

Then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

This... The eldest brother is usually not very talkative, and his personality seems aloof. How come he becomes so clingy and affectionate with the Regent?

They seemed to have witnessed something terrible. If the Regent and His Majesty were to have a falling out in the future, and they learned of what had happened today, wouldn't they be carrying His Majesty's secrets in the future...?

Will I get beheaded?!

Murong Jin's lips twitched, and then Yi Yi came over, "Master, we've taken them all."

Murong Jin: "If they don't comply, I'll kill them."

Yi Yi straightened up. "Understood. We'll make sure they speak properly!"

If they don't obey, then let them suffer a fate worse than death!!

Murong Jin prepared to leave, but Di Junlan grabbed the armrest of his wheelchair. "Brother, are you going back already?"

Murong Jin looked up at him and said, "After your competition, I have something to report."

Seeing the seriousness on Murong Jin's face, Di Junlan stopped being nonchalant and said earnestly, "Okay."

Watching the departing figure, Di Junlan thought, "Something must have happened."

Ankesen glanced at him. "Your Majesty, I'm leaving too. Good luck!!! Don't worry, with the Regent here, the memorials will be reviewed, and the ministers will seek his help with any problems. Just focus on the competition!!!"

They talked as they walked, and when they reached a distance, they disappeared in a flash.

This was the first time Emperor Junlan had seen An Kesen so protective of Murong Jin. Something must have happened that he didn't know about. Otherwise, given An Kesen's usual attitude towards the Regent, he didn't think An Kesen would be so kind to Murong Jin.

Lu San'er and the others looked at Di Junlan, their tone cautious, "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Lan hummed in agreement, then added, "I am now Murong Lan, so there's no need to be so formal."

Lu San'er breathed a sigh of relief. "Boss, so you're going back after this competition, right?"

"Well, I'm here to experience it. After all, the Regent gave me some homework, which included knowledge about military camps. I've never been to a military camp before and don't know the rules and regulations there, so I'm here to experience it."

The others understood, "Okay."

After looking at the two unconscious people, Emperor Junlan turned to Lu San'er and the others, "Don't tell them my identity. Also, if you get into the top ten in the individual competition, I will let you join the Imperial Guard."

Imperial Guard.

Several men's eyes lit up. "Yes!" The army protecting the imperial city and His Majesty, although they had previously considered going to the frontier to fight, protecting His Majesty was also their responsibility as soldiers!

Emperor Junlan raised the corners of his eyes, "However, I will not give you any special treatment. How you get promoted still depends on your abilities."

The group straightened up. "Understood!" They weren't those kinds of people.

………

Back at his residence, Murong Jin glanced at the man in black who had been taken away in the darkness. "Have someone interrogate him to find out who is behind this."

"Yes, it has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review. Furthermore, it is time to arrange for Lord Ming to go there personally to conduct the interrogation."

Upon hearing the words "Lord Ming," Murong Jin's lips curled slightly. "Hmm."

If this person were to conduct the interrogation, she would trust his methods.

Two days later, the team that came in first place, Murong Lan's team, looked at the people on the stage, especially the person whose gaze fell on them and who even raised an eyebrow at them.

Murong Jin's expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of a smile hidden in her eyes.

He's just a little kid.

Well done.

It's quite an achievement that so many teams were eliminated in just a few days.

As for the people in his team, Murong Jin took a few more glances and found that they all had good aptitude. It seemed like they could be recruited into the Imperial Guard.

Murong Jin left in her wheelchair, and Di Junlan watched her retreating figure, a barely perceptible tenderness flashing in his eyes.

I really couldn't bear to look at it, so I glanced at it a couple more times, and then the person left without a trace of expression.

What an awkward and shy older brother.

"Master, the interrogation results from last night are in. Lord Ming sent someone over to say that those people only said one sentence before they all died from poisoning."

Murong Jin frowned slightly. "None of them survived?"

Yi Yi was also somewhat dumbfounded. "Yes, it's highly poisonous, and small worms were found in the bodies of some people, just like the Gu worms found in the bodies of people on the border of Wu Mang Kingdom."

Murong Jin touched the beads on her wrist.

Gu worm.

Moreover, it was a poisonous Gu.

It's this thing again.

"Were there any other discoveries?"

Yi Yi: "Lord Ming said that if you go and see for yourself, you will understand."

"Go to the Censorate."

Yi Yi: "Yes."

When Di Junlan came out, he didn't see Murong Jin. He went to the place where Murong Jin usually lived in the military camp, but he didn't see him there either.

Where did he go?

She was still holding today's reward plaque, intending to show it to Murong Jin, but she couldn't find him.

Di Junlan felt a little disappointed, but if he wasn't in the training camp, he would probably have gone back to the capital.

Ankesen has also been nowhere to be seen lately, and no one knows what he's doing.

The prime minister hasn't come here since his last conversation with him.

In an instant, Di Junlan felt as if he were truly the only one training and competing here.

Where is everyone? Nobody even bothers to come and see him?

"Boss, let's take two days off and go out for drinks today. We can leave the training camp and rest for two days."
