Li Xi and Gu Jingzhi returned to the general's mansion after having dinner at a restaurant outside.

Li Xi had been walking outside for half a day and felt a little sleepy after eating and drinking. She has always had the habit of taking a nap. Although she missed the time today, she still took a nap for half an hour after returning home.

After waking up, Li Xi stretched and rolled her eyes. She didn't want to move today, so she decided to go to the brothel tomorrow night.

The gambling house is full of men, it's boring, so I'd better go to the brothel to see the pretty girls.

Li Xi knew that Gu Jingzhi had been staying in the mansion recently when he had nothing to do. She was curious about what Gu Jingzhi's yard looked like, so she planned to go and take a look. It didn't take far to walk, after all, they lived so close, just next door.

But what Li Xi didn't expect was that Gu Jingzhi was not in his yard.

The servant explained that the palace had just urgently summoned Gu Jingzhi and he had already entered the palace.

Li Xi frowned slightly. Urgent summons? To the palace? Something big must have happened, otherwise the matter could have been left to be resolved at the morning court tomorrow. It would have been impossible to mobilize so many troops.

"Hong Tao, go find two people and go outside to find out what major events have happened in the capital in the past two days."

"Yes." Hong Tao agreed, but was stopped by Li Xi just as she was about to leave.

Li Xi glanced at her.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You need to be calm when encountering things." Li Xi took a purse from her belt and threw it to Hong Tao, who took it subconsciously.

Li Xi: "This is your reward money. You can share it with them later. After all, no one wants to work overtime without getting paid. I'm not a black-hearted boss."

Hong Tao: "Yes, I understand. I will arrange it right away."

Hong Tao went out and came back to report shortly afterwards.

"Girl, you will never imagine what happened." Hong Tao looked incredulous. The news sounded so fake.

Li Xi raised an eyebrow, "Princess Leyang?"

Hong Tao's eyes widened when she heard this, "Girl, you really are as good as a god."

Li Xi raised one side of her lips. It was not that she was very good at predicting things. She had just been in the capital for a short time and didn't know many places. But because of this, she didn't offend many people here. Princess Leyang was ranked high, even number one.

Her original intention was to conduct a sting operation, but she didn't expect to be successful in one go.

"How is she?" Li Xi was really curious about what happened to her.

Hongtao: "She's dead."

"Dead?!" Li Xi's face changed. Dead? How could it be? When I saw her at the palace banquet before, her face was rosy and there was nothing wrong with her.

Princess Leyang was the last heir of Prince Kang's Mansion, and she was gone just like that. It best wasn't man-made, otherwise that person would definitely be dead.

"Yes, she is dead. I heard that Princess Leyang's death was very strange. According to the servant of Prince Kang's mansion, Princess Leyang and the servant entered the mansion that day and never left.

The body of Princess Keleyang was found in the moat."

Li Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. So that's how it is. It seems that Princess Leyang's death was definitely not an accident, but who poisoned her?

Li Xi noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of the maids around her when they looked at her, and frowned. No way? They didn't suspect that Princess Leyang's death had something to do with her, did they?

The more Li Xi thought about it, the more she felt that she had guessed correctly. In fact, this guess was reasonable. After all, there were many people who knew that she and she were not on good terms.

But she didn't believe that Princess Leyang had never offended anyone just because of her arrogant and willful appearance.

This thought flashed through her mind and then passed. She was not a member of Jingzhao Yin's family, and the investigation was theirs. With Gu Jingzhi, a big Buddha, she had already clung to her thigh tightly. If others wanted to touch her, they would definitely have to think about the consequences clearly.

Li Xi fell back and lay leisurely on the recliner.

Forget it. It has nothing to do with me anyway. I have nothing to fear. With the title of Gu Jingzhi's fiancée, I think other people would not dare to frame me.

As for the rest, she would just take it one step at a time. She didn't want to waste her brain cells.

royal palace.

Xiao Su: "Father, the matter has been investigated almost completely. According to the security guard at the gate of Prince Kang's mansion, Le Yang did not go out again after bringing the maid back to the mansion that day.

But strangely, her body appeared in the moat far away from Prince Kang’s palace.”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. You know that Le Yang is the only child of our Prince Kang's Mansion, and you have watched her grow up.

We can’t let Le Yang die in such an unclear way.

Otherwise, how can I face my parents in Leyang when I am in the afterlife?"

Old Prince Kang burst into tears, his voice choking with sobs, "I hope Your Majesty can find this person and punish him severely, so that Le Yang can vent his anger!"

"Uncle, rest assured. I will have someone find out the truth and let Le Yang go in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Old Prince Kang was leaning on a cane and was about to kneel down to express his gratitude.

Emperor Jian'an naturally sent people to stop them.

"Nonsense! Hurry up and support Prince Kang! Someone come and let him sit down!"

The prince stepped forward and helped old Prince Kang to stand up, then moved him to the armchair that the eunuch had just brought.

Emperor Jian'an looked grim. A princess of the royal family was abducted and killed in her own home. This was a provocation to the imperial power. It would be strange if his expression looked good.

"Jingzhao Yin, what do you say?"

"Your Majesty, there are many strange things about this matter. We need to investigate in detail."

"Okay, I'll give you five days. After five days, I want the truth."

Five days?

The Jingzhao Yin felt bitter. Five days, only five days. This case looked complicated, but the deadline for solving the case was very short. It was not easy for them, the Jingzhao Yin, to handle the case.

What if nothing is found out after five days?

Although Jingzhao Yin had many complaints in his heart, he could only accept the order and express his gratitude on the surface.

It perfectly illustrates the concept of smiling on the face but thinking MMP in the heart.

"Jingzhi, you just returned to the capital, and you happen to have some free time these days. This time, you can assist Jingzhao Yin and solve the case together."

Gu Jingzhi accepted the order and thanked the emperor. Others looked at Gu Jingzhi with a hint of ambiguity in their eyes.

This case is not easy to solve. If it is not completed within the fixed time limit, it will be difficult to report to the task.

However, after hearing what Emperor Jian'an said, Jingzhao Yin was extremely happy. Everyone in the capital knew that His Majesty treated Gu Jingzhi like his own son. With him around, even if they failed to complete the task assigned by His Majesty within five days, His Majesty would not make it too difficult for them for Gu Jingzhi's sake.

After things were arranged, the emergency meeting was adjourned.

Due to limited time, Gu Jingzhi did not return home, but went to Jingzhao Yin, and then sent Zhang Hao back to report that he was safe.

After hearing Zhang Hao's explanation, Li Xi nodded to show that she understood.
