After seeing Cheng Jiayue and Su Mulang off, Jiang Wanyan sat down next to Su Mu Qing: ”The situation is complicated, do we have to leave this muddy water?”

Su Mu Qing's expression was cold and solemn as he enunciated each word clearly, ”He is not willing to let me go, so why should I cower?”

Su Muchang's grudge with Su Mu Qing sounded too complicated, it was not something that could be explained in one or two sentences, but for his own blood brother to have a grudge with him, Su Muchang must have long treated the Imperial Concubine Wen as his biological mother.

”If Su Muchang were to inherit the throne, do you think we would still be able to live?” Su Mu Qing suddenly smiled at her, ”I had this plan since a long time ago. Qing Yi also existed to protect her life. Since it still exists, I should use all my strength.”

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a cold female voice coming from outside the door, ”Your Highness, we've caught them.”

Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, Su Mu Qing had already sat up and said in a deep voice, ”Come in.”

Jiang Wanyan had thought that a group of people would come in, but it was only Gao Lanxuan who came in. She knelt in front of the door and did not raise her head: ”I've already controlled myself. Since when did the prince want to meet someone?”

Su Mu Qing then asked another question, ”How is the investigation into the massacre of the village going? Is it Su Muchang's doing? What's his motive for doing this? ”

Gao Lanxuan's eyes flashed for a moment, and then she lowered her head even further, ”Subordinate has yet to find any definite evidence. Your Highness, please forgive me.”

It was indeed hard to find. In the entire village, not a single person was left alive, not even a single breakthrough point. Qing Yi couldn't find any clues, which showed that this matter was definitely not done on a whim.

If we capture them, they will be even more careful. You guys have to be careful too, don't have too many casualties, get He Pao to help you, and let go of what you have on your hands. Su Mu Qing instructed calmly. He had already recovered and his expression was no longer as ugly as before.

”Yes, this subordinate understands.” She had been working for Su Mu Qing for many years and knew Su Mu Qing's temperament. Back then, when the carriage was in trouble, according to the customs of the Qing Yi organization, as long as there was no danger to their lives, they did not have to show themselves.

If he let that person run away, Su Mu Qing might really be angry at him.

”Have you examined it?” Su Mu Qing continued to ask.

Only then did Gao Lanxuan slowly raise her head. It was the woman who had entered the palace the other day and was about to be assassinated to save Jiang Wanyan. Jiang Wanyan's pupils contracted.

”This subordinate has examined him and he was very stubborn. He didn't say anything, but checked his entire body and collected everything that could be fatal. He hid poison in his nails and wanted to commit suicide. In a moment of desperation, this subordinate cut off one of his hands.” Gao Lan Xuan said this with a special tone

Calm, calm as if she wasn't the one who did this. She was just calmly telling a story about someone else.

Su Mu Qing, however, did not reprimand him. ”Watch carefully. Tomorrow morning, I will personally interrogate them. There's no need to torture yourself tonight.”

”Yes.” After Gao Lanxuan responded, she left. However, Jiang Wanyan could see something else from her gaze just now.

Gao Lan Xuan seemed to be hiding something.
