C89 Anping, you say (1/2)

The slightly yellow envelope was stuck tightly onto the back of the lion's head. Huai Jin then ripped off the envelope.

The two of them looked at each other quickly and Huai Jin opened the envelope in her hand.

The snow-white xuan paper was covered with densely written names in black ink.

Huai Jin looked at it for a moment, then passed the list to Yuwen Fei.

Yuwen Fei received them and looked at the names one by one, his expression turning darker the more he looked at them.

”Why?” Huai Jin saw that his expression was strange and asked.

Yuwen Fei raised his head to look at her, placed the list of names into an envelope and sealed it again: ”This list is not correct.”

”Wrong?” Huai Jin looked at the letter again, and frowned: If this list is wrong, then why did Grand Princess waste her efforts in putting this fake list here?

Yuwen Fei snorted, and looked at Huai Jin with a gloomy face: ”What if the name list is fake anyway?”

”What about this list?” Huai Jin's frown deepened. Although she had obtained the list of names, it was still a fake. If Yuwen Fei could see through it, then Yuwen Jue would definitely notice as well.

Yuwen Fei stared at the namelist and remained silent. The paper fan in his hand knocked on his palm again and again, producing a crisp ”pa pa” sound.

Huai Jin glanced at the fan in his hand and secretly snorted. In the cold weather, one would always be carrying a fan to play with.

The two of them were speechless for a moment. They could only hear the sound of the paper fan hitting their palms as it slowly echoed within the small duty room.

”Duk Duk Duk”

There was a knock on the door.

”Seventh Prince, Princess Anping.”

The captain's voice came from outside.

Yuwen Fei's hand suddenly jerked, the fan in his hand was held extremely tightly, his gaze was fixated on the envelope from beginning to end, without even raising his head he shouted towards the outside: ”Come in!”

The door to the duty room was opened by someone. The captain himself knew that he had disturbed the two of them, and he smiled obsequiously: ”Seventh Prince, Princess Anping, Captain Wei has arrived.”

Huai Jin raised her head and indeed, she saw a tall and big figure standing behind the captain, guarding the entrance. It was Wei Chengwu!

Hearing the three words ”Captain Wei”, Yuwen Fei finally raised his head and looked outside. He lightly waved the paper fan in his hand, which slowly floated in his hand, and smiled towards the outside: ”Why is Captain Wei here?”

Wei Chengwu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the two of them. ”The emperor knows of the Seventh Prince and the princess and has made some progress in his investigation.

Yuwen Fei nodded his head, waved the letter in his hand, and said in a strange voice: ”I really have news about royal father, I have indeed just made some progress.”

Hearing that, Huai Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at him, from the looks of it, he was submitting the name list up?

Yuwen Fei blinked his eyes at her but did not say anything.

Wei Chengwu was overjoyed when he heard the progress of the case, and did not notice the two's little movements at all. He walked up from behind the captain, bowed to the two again, and said with a bit of excitement: ”Since there are new developments, then Seventh Prince, Princess Anping, you should follow this lowly official into the palace to report to the emperor.”

”Alright, we will follow Captain Wei into the palace right now!”

Yuwen Fei lifted his robe, sat up on the chair, and arrogantly replied.

Huai Jin had no choice but to follow the two of them into the palace.

In fact, the matter of Ping Yang's Grand Princess could be considered to have been investigated thoroughly.

According to what the Old Magistrate had said, Su Geying had colluded with Bei Ling's men and used him to send the name list out, but Ping Yang had purposely planned to delay the time of leaving the city. During this time, she took advantage of Su Geying's surprise and left a name list behind the Eight Immortals Table.

Although the case had already been investigated, the fact that Ping Yang had colluded with the Empire was actually true. After all, this name list was truly sent out by herself.

Yuwen Jue's gaze stayed on the letter on the table for a long time. The imperial study room was silent.

Yuwen Fei counted his hair out of boredom, while Huai Jin stared at her toes in silence.

After a long while, Yuwen Jue opened the envelope and only took a glance at it before his face turned cold.

His gaze swept across Yuwen Fei and Huai Jin who were seated below, and suddenly slammed the table and asked sternly: ”This is the list of names you have found?!”

Yuwen Fei put down the hair in his hands, lazily lifting his eyes up, he calmly looked at Yuwen Jue and nodded.

Huai Jin glared with a pair of innocent eyes, looked at him with suspicion, and replied with a nod: ”This is the list of names we found at the east gate.”

Yuwen Jue looked at Huai Jin, and then turned his gaze to Yuwen Fei, the eyes that were showing signs of aging, started to emit a light aura, staring straight at Yuwen Fei, as though he wanted to see through him.

Yuwen Fei rolled his eyes, as he did not care about the aura around him at all. He directly met Yuwen Jue's gaze, and said unhappily: ”Royal father, are you suspecting that we have submitted a fake name list?”

”You didn't?” His deep voice contained a pressure that could not be ignored.

”Nope.” Yuwen Fei answered calmly.
