The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

It is not advisable to make a big fuss in a private investigation. The people from the Ministry of Revenue have been secretly monitored. Chu Bainiao deduced the approximate range from the evidence released by Xiyu Tower. He immediately returned to the mansion and divided the secret guards into two groups and sent them out.

One group collected evidence from the people, while the other group continued to search Xiyu Tower.

He ordered his butler to pack his luggage and appointed two attendants to accompany him, intending to personally visit Fu County, the birthplace of the Blood Letter of All Peoples.

Outside the study, the attendant said, "Your Majesty, Master Ji wants to see you."

Chu Bainiao raised his head from the pile of papers, rubbed his brows, and said, "Announce."

Ji Yan pushed open the door of the study and saw the prince's bright and noble face in the candlelight. He looked at the weariness and tiredness that only belonged to those in a higher position after their material desires were satisfied.

Ji Yan took the food box from the waiter and glanced at it, and the waiter left and closed the door.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't eaten yet today. I made some porridge for you in the kitchen. Would you like to have some?"

Chu Bainiao collected the documents on the table and covered them, then nodded.

Ji Yan brought the food box to the table, filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Chu Bainiao, then he lay obediently on the table and watched her drink the porridge he cooked spoonful by spoonful.

A strange sense of satisfaction arises in my heart.

He carefully traced the other person's eyebrows and eyes, thinking, so what if he treated him as his younger brother?

He will make the other person get used to him, become inseparable from him, and finally fall in love with him.

Both others and their hearts are needed.

Seeing the fatigue between the other person's eyebrows, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the matter of Xiyu Tower? There are rumors about it outside today."

Xiyu Tower has spread evidence all over the streets and alleys, and it is of no avail even if the guards prohibit people from discussing it.

It is true that the people in Xiyu Tower are very skilled in martial arts, and there are guards patrolling every night, but the doctor from the Ministry of Revenue still died quietly in the mansion, and this evidence was quietly spread all over half of the imperial city.

Chu Bai Niao had no intention of hiding anything. "It is indeed about Xiyu Tower," she said, "I will leave the capital quietly next. You stay in the mansion and keep it a secret for me."

Ji Yan sat up straight and said coquettishly with his pretty face, "No, I want to be with the prince, prince, can you take me with you?"

You know what, when senior brother mentioned that, she was actually quite tempted.

It would be boring to investigate a case alone, and she was worried about leaving her senior brother alone in the capital. She could guarantee his safety anyway, so why not?

She nodded, "Okay, but you have to be obedient. Handling cases outside is not as comfortable as being at home. You are not allowed to be squeamish, understand?"

Ji Yan nodded with sparkling eyes and retorted in a low voice: "I am not squeamish, Your Majesty, what nonsense is said."

Chu Bainiao curled the corners of her lips and put the bowl down. Ji Yan quickly filled another bowl and coaxed, "Your Majesty, can you drink another bowl? This way you will have more energy to handle the case."

Chu Bainiao took it.

Ji Yan pretended to be curious and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this Xiyu Tower like? I went out of the palace today and heard people outside talking about how Xiyu Tower is a good organization that helps the people get rid of harm. Is that true?"

Chu Bai Niao swallowed the porridge in his mouth and murmured, "Whether it is good or bad, whether it is kind or evil, it is difficult to judge."

Ji Yan asked: "Why?"

"This Xiyu Tower, killing corrupt officials seems to be a just thing, a good thing. It is because we cannot tolerate people who have clearly made mistakes but are not punished."

"From the current results, corrupt officials dare not be corrupt anymore, and people who do evil things dare not do evil anymore. It seems to be justice."

"But this is based on the justice of Xiyulou. Xiyulou alone cannot define justice."

"Because justice is justice for the majority, an organization cannot represent the majority. Xiyulou should not arbitrarily decide the life and death of others. This behavior is no different from those of corrupt officials."

"If one day, Xiyulou is no longer righteous, but they have already become righteous in the eyes of others, then whoever they say is a corrupt official will be a corrupt official, and whoever they say deserves to die will die."

"From a long-term perspective, this is a bad thing, because if it continues for a long time, the world will be in chaos."

"The knights use their martial arts to break the law. Today, Xiyu Tower escapes from the imperial court to judge the life and death of others. Tomorrow, there will be Yanyu Tower, and the day after tomorrow, there will be Huayu Tower."

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Their original intentions were good, but if they want to change the world—"

"Instead of using violence, it is better to enlighten the people."

Ji Yan concealed the dark color in his eyes, and his voice became vague, "My Lord, you are really amazing, you understand a lot of principles."

Chu Bainiao finished the rest of the porridge. It is difficult to judge what is good and evil in this world. The stronger a person is, the more he can decide the life and death of others. At this time, law and morality are the shackles that strangle them.

A hero breaks the law with force, just like the world she and her senior brother live in, isn't it also divided into demonic cultivators and righteous cultivators?

Even when she killed someone, it was still within the rules of the world. She had a cause and effect relationship with the other party, and killing could exist within the cause and effect.

Ji Yan said softly, "But this world is inherently unfair. Justice is not upheld and the wicked are at large. Your Majesty, I think Xiyu Tower is not bad. At least the bad guys are dead, right?"

Chu Bai Niao pinched his brother's cheek, which had grown some flesh, and said, "Have you been wronged? Did someone in your family die of illness?"

On the day she brought her senior brother back home, she sent someone to check his background. The news she got back said that her senior brother's mother died early, leaving his father to raise him alone with great difficulty. Unfortunately, due to overwork, long-term illness and no money for treatment, he passed away.

Before his death, he was asked to come to the capital to find his relatives.

He did have an aunt in the capital, but unfortunately she had passed away.

But her senior brother's words today made her feel a little doubtful.

Ji Yan's nose felt sore and his eyes quickly turned red. He stretched out his fingers to wipe away his tears and muttered, "I haven't been wronged."

Accepted it.

"My family members died of illness. I just saw people being bullied by bullies and I was moved."

Your Majesty...

Ji Yan called out softly in his heart. Now in this world, only the prince could make him break down and cry with just one word.

Chu Bai Niao was silent for a while. She took the initiative to lean over and hug him for the first time. "If you are wronged, tell me and I will take care of it for you, okay?"

Ji Yan buried himself in the arms of his beloved, his heart burning with heat that he could hardly suppress.

I could only silently smell the fragrance on the prince's body to calm my inner restlessness.

"Don't worry, my lord. I haven't been wronged."

He said sincerely, "It's so great to meet the prince. I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Beautiful and unreal.

It seemed as if happiness would slip away from his hands at any time, making him wish he could stay by the prince's side all the time.

Don't leave him alone.

Don't leave him alone.

Don't leave him alone.
