Nian Susu walked slowly forward side by side with him.

Both were silent.

I didn't know where to start.

Qin Junyu had already guessed her purpose and spoke first: "You want to ask me if I knew in advance that the horse was drugged, and I also knew that it was done by the virtuous king, and I used his plan to deal with him."

His tone was very certain.

Nian Susu agreed and lowered his head to look at his toes.

Hearing him say this, I knew this was his plan.

And she was so stupid as to act out a crazy play just to remind him of the instigator. He must think it's ridiculous, right?

Nian Susu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, he couldn’t tell what the feeling was, and even his face was covered with a layer of gloom.

Qin Junyu suddenly stopped.

Nian Susu had no choice but to stop and look at him sideways.

His eyes were full of sincerity, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance and made you worry.

I originally thought that every step of this plan was within my calculations, but I didn't expect that Miss Nian was so smart and meticulous that she actually discovered that there was a problem with the horse.

I never expected you to be so bold as to pretend to be crazy in front of my father and the queen to remind me."

She seemed quite proud at the beginning, but felt a little embarrassed about the "acting crazy" at the end.

She blushed even more when she heard the smile in his tone.

"So I was too clever and ruined your plan?" she asked sarcastically.

Nian Susu crossed her arms across her chest as if she was angry, and walked forward at a brisk pace. Qin Junyu quickly caught up with her and explained, "No, no, thanks to Miss Nian, you helped me a lot this time! Otherwise, I don't know how to let my father know that there is something wrong with the horse."

He spoke it as if it were true.

"Just now you said that every step was under control, but now you say there is no plan?"

When she's angry, her legs move faster than anyone else's.

Even though Qin Junyu was a head taller than her, he still had to jog to barely keep up with her speed.

After much persuasion and coaxing all the way, after arriving at Qin Zehai's tent, Nian Susu finally agreed to put aside their "hatred" for the time being and talked to him calmly about business.

The guards who arrived ahead of time were still searching inside, rummaging through drawers and cabinets. The sound of various things falling to the ground was so loud that one could imagine what the scene was like inside even through the thick felt door.

The two did not go in immediately, but waited outside the door.

Nian Susu exhaled a breath of turbid air, full of concerns, "Can these people be trusted?"

What if Qin Zehai's people mixed in among them? Wouldn't that give him an opportunity to destroy the evidence?

Qin Junyu said: "It is trustworthy. The Imperial Guards are my father's men. They only brought a few people for this hunting trip, and those who came are people my father trusts very much.

Besides, he would not entrust such an important task to someone he did not trust."

"So the emperor trusts your highness?"

Qin Junyu smiled but said nothing.

Nian Susu understood immediately.

The emperor sent him here because Qin Zehai supported Prince Qing. As the crown prince, he would never help Qin Zehai escape punishment.

Soon, the Imperial Guards finished their search and lined up neatly to report to Qin Junyu: "Your Highness, nothing was found."

Qin Junyu didn't seem surprised, just a little unwilling.

He entered the tent and Nian Susu followed him.

The tent was in a mess, but the space was not large and there were not many places to hide things. After searching for such a long time, nothing was found. Either the stolen goods had been sold long ago, or they had all been fed to the horses.

He put his hands behind his back, looked around and sighed.

Nian Susu bent down and rummaged through the upside-down wooden box on the ground, but found nothing.

Since Qin Zehai dared to drug her, he should not leave any evidence.

The two men left the tent, followed by a team of royal guards, and returned the same way.

On the way, Nian Susu suddenly thought of a way to prove Qin Zehai guilty, but he was not sure whether it was feasible.

"What are you thinking about? You seem to be worried about something." Qin Junyu asked.

Nian Susu told him his idea. After listening to it, he thought it was worth a try. Anyway, no physical evidence had been found yet, and Qin Zehai could not be convicted based solely on the testimony of the secret guards.

When they returned to the stands, almost everyone's eyes were on them, each with different looks and thoughts.

Qin Junyu walked onto the stands, and Nian Susu was standing below, attracting more questioning looks.

Wang Yuejiao complained to Miss Lin in a low voice: "Didn't the emperor ask the Crown Prince to search? Why did Nian Susu shamelessly stick to him?"

Miss Lin: "Who knows? She came back with His Highness and deliberately stood in front. She must want everyone to misunderstand that she has a special relationship with His Highness. This trick is too obvious."

Wang Yuejiao: "Your Highness has expressed his feelings to her, but he neither agrees nor refuses. He is still playing hard to get. How despicable!"

The two people's whispering was not loud, but Li Yaoyuan, who was in front of them, heard every word.

She was so angry that she turned around and cursed: "You are the most despicable ones who maliciously speculate about others!"

If it were in the past, she would never have said the word "cheap", but since Wang Yuejiao scolded Nian Susu like that, she could only give him a taste of his own medicine.

When Wang Yuejiao saw her face, she understood instantly, "Isn't this the Miss Li who played with Nian Susu? Who else did I think she was? Turns out she's also a bitch. Nian Susu is a bitch, you're just pretending. You two really aren't from the same family. You're not from the same family."

Wang Yuejiao scolded people without blushing or beating her heart, and she did it effortlessly. In comparison, Li Yaoyuan's fighting ability was much weaker. She had never scolded anyone before, and she didn't know how to scold people. She felt ashamed and embarrassed when she heard those dirty words, let alone fighting back.

To cure Wang Yuejiao, it has to be Nian Su Su.

Li Yaoyuan was so frustrated that she couldn't scold her anymore and ignored her.

Everyone was paying close attention to Qin Junyu, and no one noticed the quarrel between the three people below.

Qin Junyu was calm and composed, "Father, we didn't find any Crazy Powder in the Xianwang's tent."

"Ah..." A surprised voice immediately came from the crowd.

They thought it was definitely done by the wise king, but they didn't expect to find out anything.

This was something Qin Zehai had expected, and he did not have too many emotional ups and downs.

Things kept turning around and around, and no one could figure out what was going on.

The queen's heart had gone through several ups and downs, and now she was exhausted both physically and mentally, but she couldn't let others see any clues, so she stood up with the help of the palace maid and stabilized the situation.

"The Emperor will definitely find out who really drugged us. Before that, all of us are suspects. Instead of worrying about others, we should think about how to prove our innocence."

No one dared to speak for a moment, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Junyu's clear voice sounded particularly heavy in this atmosphere. "No Crazy Powder was found in the tent. This does not prove that the emperor's uncle is innocent. I feel deeply guilty for letting the emperor's uncle suffer injustice."

Qin Zehai always felt that this statement was strange.

Since no evidence was found, everyone tended to believe that it had nothing to do with him, but Qin Junyu's words put him back in the mud.
