I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Before dawn the next day, Jiang Xingkuo pulled Huanyan out of bed.

"Wake up! Wake up! Found it! Found it!"

"...What did you find?" Huan Yan, with sleepy eyes, was about to fall down again.

"The owner of a medicine shop in the west of the city has testified!"

"What?" She finally reacted.

"The shopkeeper said that a big man bought a large bag of arsenic half a month ago. Because he was generous, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask more questions."

Songyan brought them breakfast with a happy face.

"It's really a frame-up!" Huanyan ate one crystal dumpling at a time and stood up before she finished eating. "We've found the witness, we have to go to the government office to calm things down, otherwise the prefect will always make excuses..."

"Just rest and relax! You don't have to go!" Jiang Xingkuo pushed her down.

"what?"

"I heard... the prefect was replaced. He was replaced overnight and hasn't taken up his post for a while!"

"What?! You're stepping down so soon?!" Huanyan slammed the table, "What about this case?! What about the store?!"

"Oh, Your Highness the Princess! Please finish your breakfast first..." Songyan was advising her earnestly.

Jiang Xingkuo shrugged, "My princess~"

An Huanyan threw an orange over to Jiang Xingkuo, who reached out and caught it steadily, and started peeling it.

Tengxi came in quickly from outside again.

"Princess! We caught him! We caught him!"

"Who?"

"That's the man who bought arsenic and poisoned his wife!"

"Really?!" An Huanyan and Jiang Xingkuo were surprised and happy.

"Your Highness, it was the Prince Consort who caught him. He just sent someone to tell you the good news. In addition, the Prince Consort instructed that the princess should not come forward at this moment. The case has been transferred to the Ministry of Justice, and all cases that need to be tried will be tried."

"Is it him?!" An Huanyan calmed down.

Jiang Xingkuo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. The Prince Consort said that this person suddenly spent money lavishly after the incident and frequented prostitutes. When Feng Xiang heard about this, he panicked and left the city last night, but was stopped by the guards at the city gate."

"Oh..." An Huanyan felt a little uncomfortable, but suddenly remembered, "No! There is obviously someone behind this!"

Jiang Xingkuo shook his head slightly, his expression solemn.

"Huanyan, it's not appropriate to investigate further. I think this matter ends here."

"Why! You treat human life like worthless..."

"Happy face!"

Jiang Xingkuo interrupted her.

"The prefect has been replaced again. This means that your brother, the emperor, must have known about this matter. Otherwise, who can change such a high-ranking official at will..."

"He didn't even make the decision for me..." An Huanyan's voice weakened.

"The person behind the scenes must not be easily shaken. But what I can't understand is why such a big shot would attack a small shop like ours..."

An Huanyan touched her hand and no one spoke again.

The arrested man confessed that someone gave the couple a large sum of money to cause trouble.

Originally, his wife was just playing around, but he really wanted to kill her, so he poisoned his wife of many years to death.

When they traced the case back to the former prefect, Lord Li, they discovered that he had hanged himself.

At this point, there are no more clues to investigate further.

An Huanyan looked at the door of the west wing in the backyard, which had never been opened. The woman who spoke in a melodious and gentle voice never smiled again.

"Princess, Miss Wei still refuses to take medicine. I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be scars on her body..."

An Huanyan sighed, turned and left.

The store was reopened, but in an incredibly low-key manner; they simply killed a chicken and scattered it at the door to get rid of the bad luck.

The number of guests coming and going gradually increased, and Yu Tai was kept very busy.

Among them, those who wanted to learn from others stayed for several days but still couldn't figure out anything.

The days passed quietly, and the heavy rains in the south continued.

The weather in Youling City in the north is still so hot that people feel like they will explode at any moment.

The whole country seems to be holding back and feeling depressed, as if there is a fire that is growing bigger and bigger.

Word gradually spread among the people that less than a year after the new emperor ascended the throne, Jin State suffered from floods in the south and drought in the north. This was very meaningful.

Jiang Xingkuo specially found a starry night and sneaked to the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is here." Wu Ye's voice came from the darkness.

"Got it. Back off."

Somehow, An Zhaoyan felt a little relaxed.

After a while, he looked at the door, but no one was there.

Just as he was wondering, the window was suddenly pushed open, and a graceful woman was sitting on the windowsill, smiling at him.

"How did you know I was here?" He picked up the pen happily and continued writing.

"Everyone in the palace knows that the new emperor is busy with state affairs day and night. He is really a good emperor!" She teased, swinging her legs.

"There is something in your words."

"I just heard some rumors!"

"Oh? Tell me."

Jiang Xingkuo secretly glanced at his face and said:

"People are saying that the new emperor's succession to the throne is not legitimate, and that the heaven and earth are shaking, bringing disaster to the people!"

She jumped down and walked to his side, the evening breeze bringing a hint of her fragrance.

I thought he would be so angry that he would break the pen, but he just couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you for coming to tell me."

"Is that it?" She pouted.

"What else do you think I should do?" He stopped writing and turned to look at her.

"Uh...you're not angry?"

"It is more difficult to stop the people from speaking than to stop the river from flooding. I can still turn the tide against man-made disasters."

"I know, this is a natural disaster. Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you cannot resist your old father."

He blinked, and a rare expression that looked like constipation appeared on his face.

"…That's true, but why are your words so strange…"

"Don't worry about that for now." Jiang Xingkuo suddenly stopped smiling. "The people at the west gate of Youling City are from the Hai family."

"West Gate?" He frowned slightly.

"Amazing, isn't it? The Hai family is in the east of the city, but they chose to attack the farthest place."

"Yes. How did you find out?"

Jiang Xingkuo didn't dare to say anything and just made a joke.

Before leaving, Jiang Xingkuo suddenly remembered what Doctor Ji said.

"Let's do something."

"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

He looked at her leaving back, thoughtful.

A few days later, the emperor issued an order to end the national mourning period when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and people were free to marry and hold funerals, and to do business.

While the people were discussing various issues, they began to move around and became more active.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival that followed, Youling City, which had been hot and dry for three consecutive days, suddenly began to be covered with dark clouds and strong winds.

Jiang Xingkuo from Piyun Palace touched the bracelet, and the outer ring of the bracelet began to feel slightly hot.

She rushed to the carriage, but was stunned.

Emperor An Zhaoyan sat in the carriage, leaning against the wall, with his head slightly tilted.

"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, will you stay with me?"

He said, his tone surprisingly reluctant.

Could it be that he knew something?

Jiang Xingkuo asked stiffly, "What's wrong with you?"

He stopped talking, just looked at her deeply, then sat up straight.

"Over there, Huanyan..."

"She has Hai Yanqing."

“They...???” Jiang Xingkuo suddenly reacted.

"The national mourning period is over. They are a couple."

he reminded.

"Uh... I'm just going to talk to her. I'll be back in the evening!"

She responded guiltily and couldn't help but look at the sky outside the window again.

There was actually some resentment in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Xingkuo.

Jiang Xingkuo touched the goose bumps on his arms and couldn't help but said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, aren't you going to have sex with the Queen..."

His expression darkened and he got off the carriage.

Jiang Xingkuo also followed down and rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"What if I don't let you out today?"

Jiang Xingkuo clenched his fists, "Don't push your luck."

“Who is pushing the envelope?”

"An Zhaoyan! I won't fall for your tricks! The entire harem is still waiting for you! You'd better go back quickly!"

Jiang Xingkuo made up his mind and got into the carriage.

"So you are jealous." His laughter suddenly floated in.

"Let's go!" She was so angry that she urged the driver again and again.

"Go early and come back early. It's going to rain." He stood in the wind, his clothes fluttering, like an immortal.

"Go early...come back...early..." She turned the bracelet and muttered to herself.

Xiao'e, who was sitting next to the driver, nodded slightly at him.
