Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 94: Breaking the Rules

"Sister Dong, Chu Yuyan entrusted me with something for you last night."

Jiang Feng arrived at Han Dong’s courtyard.

Han Dong was having tea in the courtyard.

"What is it?"

Han Dong was puzzled.

He thought Jiang Feng was looking for him about the old man in Room No. 6, but unexpectedly, it was to hand over something.

"It seems to be an account book."

Jiang Feng handed the account book to Han Dong.

Han Dong grew even more curious, opened it, and after flipping through a couple of pages, his expression changed. He quickly closed the account book and said to Jiang Feng, "Did you look at it?"

"I looked at some, but I couldn’t understand it."

Jiang Feng nodded.

When Chu Yuyan handed him the account book, it wasn’t sealed, so it would be odd for Jiang Feng to say he hadn’t looked.

"It’s best that you don’t understand it. In the future, stay away from Chu Yuyan."

Han Dong advised.

"Alright."

Jiang Feng secretly sighed in relief.

From Han Dong’s reaction, he wasn’t suspected for now, but who knew if something else might be discovered later.

...

Inside the Imperial City.

After finishing his business, the Second Prince came to that secluded and comfortable courtyard again.

The old servant had already prepared a pot of Qi and Blood Replenishing Soup for him.

"Fourth Uncle, is there any news from Zhenbei Prison?"

The Second Prince first took a sip of the Qi and Blood Replenishing Soup.

"Little Monkey was caught by Han Dong."

The old servant said.

The Second Prince was startled, then finished the Qi and Blood Replenishing Soup in his bowl before saying, "Didn’t he claim that no prison in the world could hold him? How could he be caught by Han Dong?"

"It’s as if Han Dong knew he would escape and caught him just like that."

The old servant explained.

The Second Prince picked up a writing brush and began writing cursive on the table.

While writing, he said, "Why is it so difficult to deal with just one Han Dong? First, the Scorpion was lost, and now Little Monkey is trapped in Zhenbei Prison."

The Second Prince was somewhat frustrated.

The Scorpion had been lying in ambush outside Zhenbei Prison, waiting for Han Dong to appear, claiming excellent concealment skills, but was discovered by Xiao Ran and Bao Longwei.

Little Monkey claimed no prison could hold him, yet for stealing from the Imperial Consort, he was locked in Zhenbei Prison. They had planned to accuse Han Dong of dereliction once he escaped.

Unexpectedly, he was thwarted by Han Dong again.

"Did Old Qi get any news?"

The Second Prince felt someone was helping Han Dong, and the first thought was the Seventh Prince.

"Perhaps, but a spy planted in the Black Market just learned that the account book was shot with an arrow to Wu Tianxiong’s hands."

The old servant said.

"Are you saying Han Dong might not be on Old Qi’s side?"

The Second Prince thought instantly.

The old servant smiled without speaking.

"Han Dong didn’t take the account book?"

The Second Prince was shocked again.

"Wu Tieshan personally confirmed the matter of the account book. No matter what, Han Dong can’t avoid involvement. I’m just curious; Han Dong has been in Zhenbei Prison all these years and deliberately keeps a distance from Xiao Ran. Why would the Seventh Prince recruit her, and how would she become one of the Seventh Prince’s people?"

The old servant was very puzzled.

"Have Dark Hall investigate thoroughly where Han Dong was the night Cao Zhengyang died."

The Second Prince felt it was necessary to investigate anew.

"I’ve already had the Dark Hall brothers investigate. They received information that Han Dong was in Dragon Capital all night and never left."

The old servant replied.

"What?"

The Second Prince was incredulous.

"When I received the news, I also heard that Black Tiger died miserably at the hands of the Prison Army. I thought the Dark Hall brothers were incompetent and had been fooled by Han Dong, so I didn’t tell you about it."

The old servant bowed as he spoke.

"Bang!"

The Second Prince pounded his fist on the table.

He felt as if he had been played.

"If Han Dong didn’t take the account book, and it wasn’t she who handed it to Old Qi, then who was it?"

"Investigate!"

"Investigate until everything is clear. I want to know who is against me." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Start by investigating everyone around Han Dong. Even if it’s not her, it must be related to her."

The Second Prince ordered.

"Yes!"

The old servant left.

Inside Zhenbei Prison.

Ever since handing the account book to Han Dong, Jiang Feng’s nerves had been on edge.

He was closely watching Han Dong’s every move, wanting to know what Han Dong would do after getting the account book.

Jiang Feng feared Han Dong would go to Chu Yuyan.

Yet, the more he feared, the more things would go that way. Before Jiang Feng’s shift ended, Han Dong left Zhenbei Prison. He could almost see Han Dong confronting Chu Yuyan.

As soon as his shift ended.

Jiang Feng immediately left Zhenbei Prison. He wanted to go to Sun and Moon Building to find out what was going on, but ultimately thought it unwise and could only stay in Willow Alley, lost in thought.

"Why am I panicking?"

"Even if Sister Dong, the Second Prince, and the Seventh Prince sat at the same table asking each other questions, I don’t believe they could suspect me."

"The only thing I don’t understand now is why Chu Yuyan specifically gave me the account book to deliver to Sister Dong. Was it just because Sister Dong treats me like a younger brother?"

Jiang Feng couldn’t understand.

The next day.

He went to Zhenbei Prison.

He learned that last night, not long after he went on leave, Han Dong returned to Zhenbei Prison. As for where Han Dong went that night, he had no idea.

However, something happened on the third floor today.

The old man in Room No. 6 was taken out to be executed in public.

First, his trespassing into the Imperial Palace for theft and disturbing the Imperial Consort was already a capital crime.

While imprisoned in Zhenbei Prison, he dared to attempt escape, adding to his crimes. Although he was set to be executed in a month, his execution was moved up.

At the same time.

The Second Prince came again to that secluded and comfortable courtyard.

The old servant had already prepared the Qi and Blood Replenishing Soup and personally brought it to the Second Prince.

The Second Prince was about to write when he saw there was an extra account book on the desk.

"Fourth Uncle, what’s going on?"

From the marks on it, the Second Prince instantly recognized it as the account book Ning Hongzhuo had transferred to Cao Zhengyang, intending to hand it to him.

"Han Dong entrusted someone to deliver it."

The old servant replied.

"This matter has nothing to do with me!"

When the Second Prince opened the account book, the first page had an extra line of conspicuous red cinnabar characters, stating exactly these six words.

This matter has nothing to do with me.

Jiang Feng thought for an entire night yesterday.

He was worried that after Han Dong went to Chu Yuyan, she would learn something unfavorable to him.

But little did he expect.

Han Dong, not following the routine, instead returned the account book to the Second Prince.

The day Ning Hongzhuo and Dark Hall’s people were chasing her down, Han Dong felt inexplicable, especially when Ning Hongzhuo questioned her about where she was the night Cao Zhengyang died.

Considering the subsequent turmoil in the court.

And the experts lying in ambush outside Zhenbei Prison, with Xiao Ran knowing someone had ill intentions towards her, Han Dong thought for an entire day and finally understood that the Second Prince was targeting her.

Unreasonably remembered by the Second Prince.

Han Dong was furious.

She felt dragged into being someone’s scapegoat.

But she quickly calmed down, not caring who Chu Yuyan was, just knowing the account book should return to the Second Prince, so she sent it back.
