Chapter 971 (1/2)

The businessman nodded his head and told the story in detail.

”Back to my Lord, I was originally a cloth merchant in the west of the Chu Dynasty. Half a month ago, I bought a batch of cloth and planned to sell it in the West. I went to my brother-in-law's pawnshop to say goodbye before I left. I saw a woman taking this dagger to pawnbroker. At that time, I saw that the dagger was so beautiful that I offered to buy it for a hundred Liang silver.”

Zhou an asked, ”how old is the woman and what does she look like?”

The merchant said, ”the woman is in her forties and at most in her early fifties. She looks ordinary and nothing special.”

”But the local people in the western Xinjiang?”

”Listen to the audio and video, wear simple clothes, and your family should not be rich.”

Zhou an frowns, so the clue is broken again? How did the dagger leave the palace and go to the west?

Zhou an was really upset. He waved and said, ”it's OK. Let's go.”

General Li asked Zhou an, ”Your Majesty, this man?”

”Let him go. It has nothing to do with him.”

General Li then led the man out of the Royal study.

At this time, the palace maid came to report: ”Your Majesty, the snow princess asked her maid to invite your majesty. Today is the birthday of Prince Jiao, who has been shouting to see your majesty.”

Zhou an has a headache. There are so many tricks for women in the harem. They are not using children as an excuse, but pretending to be sick. They are all perfect.

I didn't plan to go, but I think Xueer is the closest person to Rongyue after all. Maybe Xueer will know why this hand goes out of the palace.

”Set up the king and the palace.”

Xueer, who had not reported her hope, was very happy to see the king coming. His majesty seldom came to Jinghe palace, or even to the harem, even though she is not only a concubine now.

”See your majesty!”
