“Whaa?” Ning Xiaoyao didn’t get it
“We can capture theui explained softly “To catch brigands, first catch their king Once we have theht be in our hands instead”
Ning Xiaoyao couldn’t resist a te she lacked besides ale knitted his brows and said, “Do we have to plant false charges on them? The Grand Preceptor will definitely protect theible motives, so how are we supposed to snatch theale’s eyes, the idea was impossible
“They won’t ad Xiaoyao asked as she rubbed her chin Lou Zigui nodded Military men who entered the capital without express permission faced the death sentence How could those seven men ever admit to their crime?
“Then it was because of theXiaoyao said “Murder has three e Now Old Madaood motive, so no one will believe us if we cite that as the reason”
“……” said everyone else True, nobody would believe that
Ning Xiaoyao continued, “In ter her closely How could eave a tale of revenge out of thin air when no one’s had a chance to approach her? So it can only be money”
A Dragon Guard murmured, “They came to the Grand Preceptor’s estate to rob the Old Mada the courtyards, ah” We can’t pretend all their guards were dead in this situation
Ning Xiaoyao’s gears turned quickly before she focused on the wound in Old Madahtened as she declared, “It was atte, of course They wanted to poison Old Madaet ransoht them in the act Since their crih it in spite of the consequences and—” Ning Xiaoyaomotion with her hands “—killed Old Madame just like that”
“Then why did Old Madaree to on Guard asked
“Can’t we justXiaoyao asked “They lied to Old Mada that they had some precious treasure in their hands Old Madaed to meet”
Shadowgale chimed in “Your Majesty, a married woman of the inner chambers like Old Madame isn’t allowed to meet outsider males”
Now Ning Xiaoyao was stuck She glared at Shadowgale and said, “Where do you guys get all these questions from?”
“……” said the Dragon Guards You’re bla too many questions?
“The poison is still in the Old Mada Xiaoyao said “We weren’t present when those two groups decided to meet, so hoould we knohy Old Madame Xie wanted to see those inflated resellers?”
The Dragon Guards dearly wanted to ask Ning Xiaoyao what an ‘inflated reseller’ was, but her face was so covered in wrinkles fro too hard that none of then term entirely and asked, “What kind of poison?”
Ning Xiaoyao cast a glance at Fifth Young Miss, who had already walked away, before whispering to Lou Zigui, “The poison that the little white flower tried to use to kill Old Madame, ah It’s still in Old Madame Xie’s quarters”
“Who told you that?” Lou Zigui asked
Supreme Copie Ning Xiaoyao sniffed a few tiar beans J-just like what I did just then”
“……” said Lou Zigui
“You don’t believeXiaoyao ad just then”
Lou Zigui rested his hand against his forehead “Is the intel you bought with that sugar bean reliable?”
(‵′)凸, went Ning Xiaoyao So you’d rather believe that sugar beans are valuable than the fact that pies can speak! (Author: Haven’t you realized that the Supreme Commander doesn’t believe in either of those?!)
RrrrRRRRUMMMMMBLE—
Another house ed up by the flaui walked to Grand Preceptor Xie and said, “I heard that Old Madame passed away in her own quarters”
Grand Preceptor Xie nodded He’d told the tale to everyone who came by to offer their condolences, so it was impossible to deny that now
“Then we’ll go inspect her rooui said “I believe that Grand Preceptor doesn’t wish for the origins of her death to remain unclear, either”
“That’s right!” Ning Xiaoyao nodded
“There are specialists for that,” Grand Preceptor Xie’s voice sounded a little hoarse “Your Majesty, this subject wishes to invite the justice courts to investigate this matter”
Lou Zigui’s voice was cold “This is His Majesty’s expression of filial piety towards the Old Mada to refuse him?”
Grand Preceptor Xie said, “This subject was already ratitude when His Majesty rescued Old Madame’s body from the flames”
“You’re welco Xiaoyao waved a hand at Grand Preceptor Xie “It’s what I should have done Helping you again isn’t much for me either Just because you can’t find the culprit doesn’t ht?”
Grand Preceptor Xie couldn’t help feeling wan every ti Xiaoyao talk This person doesn’t listen to anyone at all!
“Let’s go,” Ning Xiaoyao waved at everyone in the courtyard “We’ll go to Old Madame’s quarters for a look See if the culprit left any clues behind”
None of the officials fro Xiaoyao’s summons, but Elder Li and his disciples all went after their emperor Because of that, the Grand Preceptor’s men had no choice but to follow suit At the very least, Grand Preceptor Xie wouldn’t have to fight by himself if they were still around
(Author: You guys…
Have you guys already labeled His Majesty as an irrefutable enemy of the Grand Preceptor’s estate?╮(╯﹏╰）╭ )
