”Good morning.” Only now did Yue Luoxue get Yan Ling Dan. She was currently in a good mood, and took the initiative to greet Ning Suran.

”Hmph.” Ning Suran turned her face to the side and let out a cold snort. She could vaguely smell the scent of a medicinal pellet from Yue Luoxue's body. It seems to be the warehouse, could it be that the Elder Brother Xuan gave another pill to this slut?

Dongfang Chen did not care about the disaster that was Yue Luoxue, and looked straight at Nalan Rongxuan: ”Rongxuan, I heard that the witness is dead?”

He had heard long ago that the witness had died a violent death and that the follower of the Imperial Advisor was the key witness to the entire matter. Now that he was dead, the matter would once again fall into a deadlock.

”Right.” Nalan Rongxuan said indifferently.

The confident and assured look in her eyes made Ning Suran unable to shift her gaze away. She knew that the Elder Brother Xuan must have a plan in mind!

Wei Ling hurriedly rushed over from the outside and respectfully bowed towards Nalan Rongxuan. He glanced at the few people present and said, ”prince, the emperor has already sent a secret message for Geng Qing to enter the palace.”

”Keep watching.” Nalan Rongxuan's gaze was deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

”Geng Qing? It's that Geng Qing who was appointed as the commander of the capital's special forces and gave us some pointers? ” Dongfang Chen frowned his pretty eyebrows. This Geng Qing was still far away in the west, just a despicable sixth rank official. He didn't feel like he existed since a long time ago, why was he suddenly sent back to the palace by a secret mission?

Nalan Rongxuan nodded his head, a profound light shining in his eyes. Geng Qing had indeed been demoted in the past, but the reason for the demeaning was not necessarily as rumoured. With his intelligence, Geng Qing had some attainments in investigating cases and was also highly regarded by the Nalan Jie in the past.

”It wasn't easy for us to save that manservant, and he died just like that. He didn't even have a use for us.” Dongfang Chen sighed. The Silver Moon Empire had been defeated, and the Crown Prince had wanted to kill that servant to silence him. They had not been able to keep him alive for a long time, and had originally hoped that he would be of use.

Nalan Rongxuan glanced at Dongfang Chen, and said slowly: ”That's only a death sentence, there's no use in living.”

”What did you say?” Dongfang Chen was shocked. This servant was saved by his own hands, how could he just be a death sentence?

”The follower of the Silvermoon Kingdom's Imperial Advisor was killed on the day of his defeat.” What you have saved, is only a death sentence that I had arranged. ”

From beginning to end, Nalan Rongxuan did not expect to rely on the evidence of his followers to topple the crown prince, because … The Crown Prince would never let this happen!

”Since it's fake, why did you let me visit the Silvermoon Kingdom?”

Dongfang Chen's face was full of injuries. What need did a fake death row prisoner need him to do? It was a waste of his effort. He couldn't sleep well after eating for the past few days, and his skin had turned bad, alright?

He had originally thought that he had found a crucial witness, but he didn't expect that everything was set up by Nalan Rongxuan.

”The entire set.” Nalan Rongxuan was incomparably calm, and did not care about the irritable Dongfang Chen in the slightest. There was actually another reason why he kept Dongfang Chen aside, and it was for Yue Luoxue's sake as well.

”It's a lie, it's a lie. It's just a trick to confuse the crown prince.” Yue Luoxue tilted her head and thought to herself silently, I definitely can't offend Nalan Rongxuan in the future.

”That's right. The Crown Prince is guilty. Naturally, he will kill and silence them.” Nalan Rongjun had many advisors, and meticulously planned everything out, so it wouldn't be that easy for him to show off in normal times.

However, if this person who should have died were to suddenly come back to life, in order to protect his safety, the Crown Prince and his party would have no choice but to take the risk. As long as they made a move, there would definitely be some clues left behind.
