The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

Because the incident happened in the imperial palace, the man who was caught could only be detained in the prison specially prepared for palace criminals.

The prison was inside the palace. After a while, Nangong Mingxuan and Gu Ying arrived at the prison and imprisoned the man.

"How did the interrogation go? Did the man confess?"

Gu Ying first asked the prison boss who was in charge of interrogating the man.

"Your Excellency, this man is very stubborn and has not explained anything."

The prison boss was also very perceptive and quickly brought a chair and placed it next to Nangong Mingxuan.

The man didn't hesitate, he lifted his robe and sat down on the chair next to him.

He looked at the tied-up man with a leisurely expression.

"I'll ask you one last time, who ordered you to harm the princess?"

Bone Shadow picked up the interrogation whip next to him and pointed it at the man and asked.

"I... don't... know what... the adults mean..."

The man who was beaten to death stammered out a few words.

Gu Ying was so angry that he picked up the whip in his hand and started whipping the man.

"My Lord...it's unfair."

The man was shaking all over from the whip, but he kept shouting that he was innocent.

Nangong Mingxuan stood up from the stool next to him and pulled out a dagger from his waist.

He kept playing with the dagger in his hand, but his feet never stopped moving.

He walked up to the tied man and gestured in front of the man's heart with the dagger in his hand for a while.

He suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the man's heart.

"Your Highness"

The prison boss next to him was shocked when he saw Nangong Mingxuan's interrogation method and couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Ying quickly made a gesture to indicate that everything was fine, and that his master knew his limits and would not let the man die.

After receiving the hint from Bone Shadow, the prison boss did not dare to interfere and hid aside, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

"Say?"

The man had blood flowing from his chest and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He didn't dare to speak again, for fear of angering the person in front of him and getting stabbed.

Not speaking doesn't mean you won't get stabbed.

Nangong Mingxuan pulled out the dagger and stabbed it hard again.

This time the man fainted from the pain.

"Bone Shadow"

Gu Ying picked up the water prepared by the prison boss next to him and poured it on the man, and the water dripped down from his head.

The person who fainted slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people in front of him with blurry vision.

Nangong Mingxuan saw the man wake up, pulled the dagger from his body, and was about to stab him again.

"I say, I say, please show some mercy, Your Highness."

Nangong Mingxuan stopped what he was doing and threw the dagger to Gu Ying.

He turned around and sat down on the chair again.

He raised his eyelids, indicating that the man could confess.

“It was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, Song Yaer, who asked me to do this.”

“You must not talk nonsense”

The voice of the skeleton figure next to him was intimidating, reminding the man to tell the truth.

"Every word I said is true. It was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites who asked me to do that."

"Then why did she do that?"

The skeleton figure next to him knew what his master wanted to hear, so he continued to ask.

"I don't know what Miss Song's purpose is. I'm just following orders."

"Bullshit, Miss Song is a lady from a wealthy family, how could she be in contact with someone like you?"

Bone Shadow asked angrily again.

"I am a son of the Song family. When the Song family was exiled, I followed the orders of the family head and went undercover to serve the palace master."

"If there is anything happening in the palace, any changes, I will report it to the head of the family immediately."

"The master of the family passed on this message to me so that I can wait for the right time and return to the capital next time."

"Song Jiang was able to return to Beijing as he wished this time, and you have made an indelible contribution to it."

Nangong Mingxuan, who had been silent on the side, spoke.

"These were all done by Lord Song. What does it have to do with Miss Song?"

Bone Shadow questioned.

"I am the spy placed by the Song family in the palace. This is the first time that the Song family has returned to Beijing to attend the palace banquet."

"The master sent a letter saying that the eldest lady will also attend the palace banquet."

"Because this is the first time for the young lady to attend, the master asked me to take care of her and obey her orders in the letter."

"So when the eldest lady came to me and gave me orders, I resisted in my heart."

"But the lives of my entire family are in the hands of the Song family. I dare not disobey."

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me."

After the man said his last words, he fainted, dying.

"Guying, get him a doctor. Make sure to save his life."

After giving the order, the man stood up and left this dark and damp place.

On the way back to his resting palace, the man was thinking about what Ouyang Miaoling said.

At that time, the woman said that he and Song Yaer had conspired to frame her.

He also vowed that he would never join forces with Song Yaer.

Why didn't he understand the meaning of her words at that time?

The woman immediately suspected that Song Yaer had done it.

Could it be that Song Yaer had done something else to hurt that woman, and she was unaware of it?

Then he tried hard to recall everything that happened when Song Yaer had contact with that woman.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. Could it be that the woman's fall from the cliff was also related to Song Yaer?

As he thought about it, his heart ached. If things were really as he guessed, then it would be easy to understand why that woman wanted to assassinate him.

It turned out that he had hurt that woman so deeply without realizing it.

While I was still guessing what was going on in my mind.

The footsteps of the skeleton behind me came closer and closer.

After Gu Ying finished dealing with what the man had told him to do, he hurried over to explain the results of the interrogation.

He didn't believe what that man said. Miss Song, who was always gentle and virtuous, would do such a thing.

"master"

Gu Ying jogged all the way and finally caught up with his master.

Then a voice called out to stop the man who was still walking forward.

Nangong Mingxuan stopped and looked back at the bone shadow who was rushing over in a hurry.

"when"

"Master, don't believe what that person says. I don't believe Miss Song is that kind of person."

"Miss Song has always been gentle and kind. As a girl in the boudoir, she has no motive to do something like that?"

After hearing what Gu Ying said, Nangong Mingxuan looked at Gu Ying suspiciously.

In the end, he didn't say anything, but turned and walked away.

He returned to the bedroom, took out the signal flare used to contact the dark guard camp, and fired it into the air above his residence.

When Gu Ying saw the signal rising into the sky, he knew that it was his master summoning the Dark Guard Battalion to the palace for an audience.

This is a big deal and the Fengxin Department of the Dark Guard Camp, which is responsible for gathering information, is asked to investigate.

After a while, a man in black took advantage of the cover of night and sneaked into the palace where Nangong Mingxuan was temporarily staying.

The skeleton hidden in the dark saw the man and knew that he was from the Dark Guard Battalion who came under the orders of his master, so he did not say anything.

"master"

The man in black clasped his hands together and half-knelt on the ground to salute.

"Feng Xing, I urgently summoned you here because there is something important for you to investigate."

"Please give your orders, Master."

“Get up and speak”

"Feng Xing, I want you to investigate whether the princess fell off the cliff five years ago and whether this incident has anything to do with Song Yaer from the Shangshu Mansion."

"And to find out the truth about the princess' disappearance five years ago,"

Nangong Mingxuan explained in a serious manner the details that Fengxing needed to pay attention to during the investigation.

A quarter of an hour later, the man in black came out of the room and disappeared into the darkness.
