Chapter 87 (2/2)

As for Tu Yidao, he had already drowned to death. The four of them insisted that they had already burnt Ning Xuemo’s body on Tu Yidao’s orders.

Since this confession was fake, then Ning Xuemo might not be the culprit behind Hu Diechang’s murder. Emperor Le Xuan could only heavily criticise Lord Lu before transferring the case to a high official of the Supreme Court..

Emperor Le Xuan had also been tired out at this point and wanted to dismiss everyone. However, Ji Yunhuang stepped forward and said, “Imperial Father, there’s no need for Official Lan to solve this case. Actually I have already investigated things secretly and can bring this whole case to light!”

Ji Yunhao’s face slightly changed. Emperor Le Xuan’s heart stirred as he looked at Ji Yunhuang. “What do you want to do?”

Ji Yunhuang said, “I shall have to ask Imperial Father to head for Wu Palace. There are some witnesses and evidence regarding Miss Hu’s death there. If you go there, then you will naturally understand everything.”

Emperor Le Xuan lightly furrowed his brows. He had already achieved his goal so he did not care about how Hu Diechang died. However, now that things had come to this point, he could only see it through to the end.

Ji Yunhao took the initiative to say. “Imperial Father, since there’s something off about this case and it definitely won’t be resolved in a short period of time. We should hand the case to Lord Lan and wait for him to report the results. How can we make Imperial Father investigate this case personally?”

Emperor Le Xuan agreed after hearing Ji Yunhao’s dignified words. After all, he was an emperor and his time was precious. He was about to answer when Ji Yunhuang spoke.

Ji Yunhuang bowed. “Imperial Father, this matter concerns Miss Ning as well as the Grand Marshal’s precious daughter. On account of the deceased Marquis Jingyuan and Grand Marshal Hu, please preside over this matter personally. This case is not complicated as I am sure father will know the truth soon…”

Since Ji Yunhuang had already said this, added to Grand Marshal Hu’s renewed pleading for him to preside over the case, feeling impatient to know who murdered his daughter’s, Emperor Le Xuan could only agree.

Ji Yunhao’s eyes lightly flashed. Then, he set forth. “Imperial Father, I still have some matters to attend, so if you will please excuse me…”
