The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

"Uh... it's really dangerous. I heard about this before I entered the court. At that time, the murderer was caught very tightly. Later, the murderer never showed up again, and there were no clues. As time went by, it was forgotten."

Lan Wangshu nodded thoughtfully, and then began to stare at Hua Qiming in a daze.

There was no emotion in her eyes, but it made Hua Qiming feel a burning sensation.

"Why, do you have anything to say to me?"

Hua Qiming's eyes curled up slightly, revealing his most romantic and unrestrained smile.

"I was just wondering, does His Majesty agree that you have been out for so long? You won't be exiled until I return."

The corners of Hua Qiming's mouth twitched. He discovered that Lan Wangshu's perspective on things was very special, which was something that no normal person could think of.

"Don't worry, His Majesty already knows about this matter."

Having said that, he looked at Lan Wangshu thoughtfully. Logically, no matter where he pretended to be sick and went out of the city, Chen Yanshu would not notice it at all, but this time it was different.

He looked at Lan Wangshu's flowing black hair, cold white skin, and charming eyes and eyebrows, and seemed to have thought of something at that moment.

Could it be that Li Bai is actually your Majesty's man and someone your Majesty admires very much?

No, he quickly denied his own opinion. Li Bai did not have much respect for Chen Yanshu. Their relationship was not like that of master and servant at all.

Could it be... He had a bold guess in his mind, could it be that they had that kind of relationship, then wouldn't he be...

"Got it? Then why are you still here?"

Lan Wangshu didn't care what he was thinking at all. She looked up and down at Hua Qiming on the other side. The man looked at her with complicated eyes. His lips moved, not knowing where to start.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. It must be something that His Majesty has arranged."

The girl waved her hand indifferently, walked to the table in the middle and sat down, took out the kettle and cup from the drawer below, and drank two sips slowly.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you can't help me with this matter."

"what?"

Lan Wangshu didn't hear clearly what Hua Qiming said and looked at the man in confusion.

Hua Qiming took a deep breath and decided to follow his heart. He was full of curiosity about Lan Wangshu. Now that he understood, he naturally would not avoid anything anymore.

"This time, I am here to find out about the murderer in Rucheng. It's a bit tricky to explain, and I don't have any clues. I must find out before the auction ends, otherwise, I must return to Kyoto now."

Lan Wangshu was a little surprised. Does this person really like challenges?

"Master Hua, you should know how difficult this case is. After so many years and so many people, there is still no clue. If that's the case, why do you still want to get involved in this mess? Isn't it better to just go back to Kyoto now?"

Lan Wangshu was very puzzled and even thought Hua Qiming was crazy. He was really unconventional.

Hua Qiming wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally he sighed. He had no choice at all.

"That's just what I said on the surface. In reality, I have no way out."

Hua Qiming smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. He was a shady person to begin with. Why he was constrained by His Majesty, he would not talk about it.

"On the surface? There is no way out?" Lan Wang said as he thought.

"Why did His Majesty suddenly pay attention to this matter and ask you to investigate?"

Hua Qiming shook his head. His people couldn't figure out the reason.

"I don't know the specific reason. As a subject, I only need to be responsible for executing orders."

Lan Wangshu was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, is there some huge conspiracy behind this?

Since Chen Yanshu has made such a decision, it is impossible to say that he has no purpose. This matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city before, so even if he cannot catch the culprit, it will not disappoint people.

Right now, the top priority should be to prepare for defense and collect clues during patrols, which is much better than running around like a headless fly.

At this time, Zui Fusheng's auction must also be held. Some wealthy businessmen who usually appear as women will probably send men this time. It is still necessary to ensure that the auction goes smoothly.

The front line probably can't wait any longer. As an emperor, Chen Yanshu must choose the country first and take the overall situation into consideration.

"Then I wish you a miracle and that your problem can be solved."

"It's not easy. I finally heard a nice word from you."

Hua Qiming smiled, and Lan Wangshu could see some sincerity in his smile, but he didn't take it seriously and just gave him a sidelong glance. This guy was quite good at taking advantage of others.

"No matter what, I hope you can get this done, and I can be safer, what's wrong with that?"

Lan Wangshu raised his chin somewhat arrogantly and pointed at the edge of the quilt with his finger.

"But I think the murderer can't do anything to me, and he probably won't attack me."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

Hua Qiming looked at Lan Wangshu's face carefully. He didn't look very safe. How could she have such an illusion? Why could she be so confident?

"My target is too big. Zui Fusheng has been busy with the auction recently. Everyone knows that I have been in and out of Zui Fusheng. If he touches me, it will be difficult to get away. He probably doesn't want to make a big deal out of it."

"That's true, but what if he's not so low-key? What if he wants to provoke the government?"

Lan Wangshu didn't expect Hua Qiming to be able to think of this. Could it be that antisocial personality disorder has already existed in this era?

"This is based on previous stories. All the places where he dumped the bodies were not easy to notice, and the kidnappers would not immediately notice that the people were missing. So he should be a cautious person who would ensure his own safety. In other words, he is very sensible and will run when it is time to run."
