After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 19 It’s almost done
Nian Susu and Qin Junyu were shocked at the same time. Why did people from Tianxuan Villa appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Nian Susu's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't seen Xuan Ji for several days.
This guy who calls himself Tianxuan Villa is acting suspiciously outside. Could something have happened to him?
She couldn't help but worry, but the identity of the young man in front of her had yet to be verified.
Qin Junyu released the boy's wrists, lifted him up by his collar, and the shell string around his waist jingled.
The boy looked defensive, puffed up his cheeks and glared at him angrily, "Humph!"
He seemed not to believe what the boy said, and sneered:
"From Tianxuan Villa? What's your name? Which branch? Who is your master? Do you have a token to prove your identity?"
A hint of surprise flashed across the young man's face. The fact that he could ask such questions showed that he had a certain understanding of the inner workings of Tianxuan Villa and should not be underestimated.
"Who are you? Why should I tell you?" The young man rolled his eyes at Qin Junyu.
Qin Junyu laughed angrily, "You are in my hands now, tell me why?"
"I won't tell you! How about killing me?"
"Sometimes death is harder than life. I have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death."
The boy stopped talking and turned his head away silently, still unwilling to accept it.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense, Nian Susu quickly spoke up to mediate, "Stop arguing, maybe this is just a misunderstanding?"
What if this young man is really from Tianxuan Villa and was sent by Xuanji, how will she face Xuanji then?
The two of them didn't speak.
Nian Susu laughed twice and asked the boy, "What's your name? Are you really from Tianxuan Villa?"
The young man was also on guard against her, but compared to Qin Junyu, he was more willing to communicate with this beautiful girl, so he said:
"My name is Jingzhe, and I work for Tianxuan Villa. Two days ago, the villa received a commission to investigate a serial murder case in Shengjing, so I came down the mountain."
"Jingzhe..." Nian Susu murmured the name again. She had seen it in the original book, but the author did not spend much time on it. She only knew that this person was from Tianxuan Villa.
"Commission? Was it your manor owner who sent you here?" Nian Susu asked again.
She was not clear about the task process of Tianxuan Villa, but Tianxuan Villa had strict control from top to bottom, so Jingzhe should not be able to leave the mountain without permission, right?
Jingzhe burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell forward and backward, and even Qin Junyuyu, who was holding him, had to expend more effort.
“Miss Nian, you’re laughing… Not all commissions we receive at our villa need to be approved by the owner. For example, I’m from the Time Division, so I only… ah!”
Jingzhe was halfway through his words when he suddenly howled with a distorted face.
When Nian Susu looked over, he found that it was Qin Junyu who kicked him on the knee.
"Can you just spread internal secrets around?" Qin Junyu said in a deep voice with a dark face.
Jingzhe reacted with great pain and was shocked: "I almost let it slip..." He suppressed his emotions and pretended to be calm:
"You tell me! Of course I know my limits!"
Qin Junyu unexpectedly let the person go, and pushed him with his palm. Jingzhe staggered forward and almost fell to the ground.
Nian Susu couldn't help laughing.
Jingzhe stood still and brushed the dust off his body, mumbling something in his mouth, and his resentful eyes fell on Qin Junyu from time to time.
"Who gave the commission to Tianxuan Villa?" Qin Junyu asked him.
Jingzhe was already hostile to him, and after being kicked by him just now, his attitude became even worse. "Who else but you? Do I have the obligation to tell you? It is not your turn to meddle in the affairs of our Tianxuan Villa!"
Qin Junyu's face became increasingly gloomy, and there was a faint undercurrent beneath his calm eyes.
Nian Susu frowned. He was like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
"That's enough." She glanced at the two of them, her tone warning, "You're all here for the same case, why are you arguing? The enemy hasn't even invaded yet, but you're fighting among yourselves. Isn't this giving the criminals an opportunity to take advantage of you?"
Jingzhe lowered his head guiltily.
Although Qin Junyu had no expression, the cold aura on his body had faded a lot.
When Nian Susu saw that he had really frightened them, he cleared his throat more confidently and said, "If you are unwilling to cooperate, just investigate your own cases and don't interfere with each other. Don't act like sworn enemies. If you are willing to cooperate..." That would be great. With the connections of Tianxuan Villa and the influence of the prince, are they afraid that they won't be able to catch the criminals?
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to."
It's rare for the two of them to have such tacit understanding.
Years: ...
Jingzhe's identity has been confirmed. As the crown prince, if Qin Junyu was rude to the people of Tianxuan Villa, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among the people in the martial arts world towards the royal family. So when Jingzhe yelled and left, he could only watch.
Seeing that he was worried, Nian Susu thought he was worried about Jingzhe, "Your Highness, you still don't believe that Jingzhe is from Tianxuan Villa?"
Qin Junyu looked at her, "Do you believe what he said?"
Nian Susu blinked her eyes. If she said she believed it, Qin Junyu would definitely ask her why. She couldn't say that it was because she had read the original book, right?
But if she said she didn't believe it, how would she explain why she spoke up for Jingzhe just now?
After thinking about it, she could only bring out the mystery, "I half believe it, half doubt it. But I know a big shot in Tianxuan Villa. I'll know the answer when I see him next time."
Qin Junyu's eyebrows showed a faint smile, and he looked very interested. "Miss Nian actually knows someone from Tianxuan Villa? And he is an important person?" He raised his eyebrows, "Is that person Miss Nian's friend?"
Nian Susu suddenly felt guilty. She and Xuanji were just mutually beneficial, right?
Now that things have come to this, she could only nod and say, "Yes, my friend, a... very good friend."
Now Qin Junyu should believe that she has a way to find out Jingzhe's identity, right?
Qin Junyu nodded with a smile, not doubting her words.
……
East Palace.
A Falcon followed Qin Junyu closely, and the two of them entered the inner room together.
Ah Falcon was terrified. His Highness had not looked well since he came back from the Nian Mansion. He even summoned him and said he had something to ask him. Could something have happened at the Nian Mansion?
Thinking of that pure and innocent young girl, Ah Falcon also felt that it would be heartbreaking if she was brutally murdered by criminals.
Qin Junyu walked around to the case, opened the secret compartment under the case, and took out a large stack of letters.
The contents of the letters were all asking the owner of the manor whether he could take on a certain commissioned task.
Ah Falcon was puzzled. Why was His Highness looking through these things in the middle of the night?
Qin Junyu read through the letters he had received in recent days, frowning.
After a moment's silence, he looked up at Ah Falcon and asked, "Has Tianxuan Villa received any commission from Shengjing? Regarding the serial murder case?"
"Your Highness..." Ah Falcon was a little embarrassed, "You haven't been back to the villa in the past few days, so I didn't know."
Qin Junyu hid the letter back in the secret compartment. "However, the three ministers wrote to His Majesty to make the decision, and His Majesty asked Your Highness to take over the case. The royal family is involved, so it stands to reason that Tianxuan Villa can no longer intervene."
He paused, and continued, "Even if those ministers have always been dissatisfied with the rule that the villa cuts off contact with the royal family, they dare not openly oppose Your Highness, so they will definitely not accept this commission privately. If they didn't send a letter, it probably means they didn't do it."
