At noon.
After lunch, Zheng Fugui stayed for a while longer before bidding farewell. The newlyweds had to return before sunset. Otherwise, it would be inauspicious, so he sent them away.
Zhang Ronghua left as well. He let Uncle Shi go back first and walked towards the Eastern Palace.
In the Eastern Palace.
Back garden, pavilion.
There was a lake on all four sides, and the water rippled. Under the gentle breeze, ripples appeared. Lotus flowers were planted, and they were lush and pleasing to the eye. The air was humid and relaxing.
The Crown Prince wore a light purple dragon robe embroidered with four claws and golden patterns on both sides. He sat on a stone bench, sipping tea and playing chess. Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er waited by the side. Other than them, there was also a mature noblewoman wearing a long black dress and a veil. She did not wear any jewelry.
After the incident last night, knowing that she could no longer hide, the Crown Prince let her return to her female attire and openly appear in front of all the forces.
Today, after the morning court session.
The Empress called him over and did not mention anything. He only drank a cup of tea. The Crown Prince understood that this was a warning. He should not have any thoughts that he should not have. When he took his leave, he deliberately broke a teacup. If he did not listen, this would be the outcome.
He stayed in Zhantai Palace until the afternoon to settle some of the accumulated administrative matters. Thinking of Zhang Ronghua’s matter, he left the palace early.
A white stone fell down, forming the momentum of a dragon slaying, forcing Hei Zi into a dead end. He was trapped in a battle of beasts. Whether he advanced or retreated, Hei Zi would not be able to escape death!
His brows were tightly knitted together as he focused his attention and pondered. He wanted to break out of this predicament and find a way out for Hei Zi.
Footsteps sounded. Feng Jianxiu brought Zhang Ronghua over.
He had been severely injured last night. He had taken some healing pills and was treated by a doctor. He was a little better, but his face was still pale and his breathing was weak. He lowered his voice and said,” I’ll take my leave!”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
He looked at the pavilion in front of him and quickly swept his gaze over it. He paused for a moment on the woman in black. From her aura, it was Jin Ying from last night. He retracted his gaze and walked forward on the wooden path made of purple wood. He understood that news about her should have spread in the capital before she walked out from the shadows.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
‘ You’re here!” The Crown Prince’s brows relaxed and he smiled.” You’re here!” freewёbnoνel.com
He pointed at the stone bench opposite him.
“Sit! ”
Zhang Ronghua walked over and sat down.
‘ She’s Jin Feng,” the Crown Prince introduced, pointing at the woman in black.” Her cultivation is extraordinary.”
‘ Master Zhang!” Jin Feng stepped forward and cupped her fists.” Greetings,
Master Zhang! ”
“Congratulations, Your Highness! You have a great talent.”
” The golden phoenix is indeed not bad. Compared to you, it’s still a little lacking.”
“You flatter me. ”
“Have you heard about what happened last night?” the Crown Prince asked seriouslv.
“Have you caught the murderer?” Zhang Ronghua asked with a straight face.
“No!” The Crown Prince’s gaze was very cold.
” The murderer escaped with a heaven-grade lightning talisman. After the incident, the people of the Fifth Division of City Defense arrived and sealed off the nearby streets. The people of the True Dragon Palace also arrived and joined the search. A day has passed and there’s still no news.”
“They don’t come with good intentions!”
‘ No matter how good or flawless it is, there will still be some clues left behind. If we continue to investigate, we will be able to find the person hiding in the dark.”
“How good would it be if I were still by your side?” Zhang Ronghua looked regretful.
Shuang ‘er poured some tea and handed him a cup before leaving again.
The Crown Prince was nostalgic and sighed. With your ability, you should have solved the case and caught the murderer after such a long time. Compared to me, the court needs you! The citizens of Great Xia need you! That’s where you can display your abilities and do more for the country and the people.”
“This subject is ashamed!”
“You’ve done very well.” The Crown Prince reached out and patted his shoulder.
She pointed at the teacup and gestured for him to taste it.
She took a sip of the tea and put it down.
The Crown Prince’s face was as cold as ice. His gaze was sharp like the edge of a blade. No one dared to look at him directly.” Have you heard about what happened to the Flood Dragon Guards?”
Zhang Ronghua had already guessed it. When he had gotten rid of the mole some time ago, so many people had died in an instant. At that time, the Crown Prince had not recovered, and the Empress was watching from the side. It was difficult to protect herself. Even if she wanted to investigate, she was powerless. However, she could not ignore it. Now that her injuries had recovered, she began to investigate. She asked in a low voice,” What happened?”
” When Ren Shangxuan died, dozens of Dragon Guards died!”
“How dare they! You actually reached out to the Eastern Palace.”
The Crown Prince did not suspect Zhang Ronghua. Firstly, he was busy with official business. Secondly, he had no interest in these dead people. There was no need for him to do this. Thirdly, all the dead people had a common characteristic. Their corpses were intact, but their souls were shattered. It was even more impossible for a soul master to act.
‘ I received news this morning that two more Flood Dragon Guards have mysteriously disappeared from their homes. I’ve already ordered people to investigate, but there’s still no news.”
Zhang Ronghua was puzzled. Who did it? What was his goal? ” What’s the matter?” He thought for a while. There were too few clues to guess. He said seriously,” The most important thing now is to figure out the murderer’s motive!”
“I think so too.”

Pointing at the chessboard, the Crown Prince put on a smile.
He took a glance.
Judging from the situation, the black pieces had been surrounded, and all the paths of survival had been cut off. No matter where the pieces were placed, it was difficult to change the fate of losing. “Yes!” Zhang Ronghua said. No!”
“Try it!”
Zhang Ronghua reached out his palm and flipped the chessboard.
The Crown Prince smiled and praised from the bottom of his heart.” I’ve pondered for a long time, but I couldn’t think of a way out. I didn’t expect you to crack it so easily..”
