After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

"The Sixth Prince said that he and the Emperor had reviewed my memorial together, so I told him all the details without reservation." His tone revealed his trust in the royal family and his loyalty as a subject.

"Rong, what do you think?" Cui Min asked with concern, his eyes falling gently on his daughter.

Cui Rong was silent for a moment, thinking secretly in her heart.

She knew very well that the emperor's memorials were usually reviewed jointly by the two princes, but Song Yanyi was still ill, so the matter naturally fell on Song Yanchen's shoulders.

However, the emperor did not summon her in person, and she was puzzled by the reason behind this.

"It's okay. I'm just guessing the emperor's true intentions. After hearing what father said, it seems to be different from my previous speculation." She tried to keep her tone calm.

Cui Min patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

"It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. As long as the emperor doesn't blame the Cui family for dereliction of duty, we should be at ease. There is no need to worry too much about other things."

Cui Rongrong did not say anything. The worry in her heart did not come from this simple miscalculation, but from her doubts about the truthfulness of Song Yanchen's words.

After all, my father has not been able to communicate directly with the emperor so far, so there will inevitably be deviations in the transmission of information.

She raised her head and looked at her father with sharp eyes.

"Father, have all the troops you sent out to search for people on the border returned?"

"Yes, I ordered them to withdraw as soon as I returned to the mansion." Cui Min sighed lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"After many days of searching, we found nothing. In addition, the Sixth Prince said that the Emperor had personally intervened and had not issued an order to continue the investigation, so I decided not to make any more trouble."

Cui Rong immediately expressed her opposition in a firm tone.

"Father, this is not appropriate. Although the Sixth Prince said that the Emperor is investigating, there has been no result to date. If father can personally catch the border spy, it will be a great achievement for father."

She always maintained a cautious suspicion towards Song Yanchen.

Based on her understanding of the Emperor, if there really were spies from an enemy country lurking in the capital, the Emperor would certainly not let them go easily and would definitely order a comprehensive search.

Now, how can people be convinced by just a few casual words from Song Yanchen?

To be on the safe side, the Cui family must take the initiative and cannot wait for the situation to develop.

"Even if we cannot find it for the time being, we must let the emperor see our Cui family's determination and responsibility. Father, we can't let our family be in a passive position anymore!" Her voice was firm.

When Cui Min heard this, his face became serious. After thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded.

"What Rongrong said is absolutely right. I, your father, have not considered it carefully enough. I will immediately give orders to continue the search and not let any threat go unpunished."

After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the study with firm steps.

Cui Rongrong watched her father leave, with mixed emotions in her heart.

She was silent for a moment, then turned around and decided to continue with her plan.

As the night deepened and the moonlight was like water, she set out on the journey to Lin Yuanming's study.

The moon was above the willow branches, and its silver light spread all over the path, adding a touch of poetry to the night walk.

When she arrived at the Lin Mansion, she just went to the door of Lin Yuanming's study when she met Mrs. Lin coming in with a bowl of hot sweet soup. The sweet fragrance was fragrant and warm.

When Mrs. Lin saw Cui Rongrong, a smile of surprise immediately broke out on her face.

"I heard from the master that Miss Cui often visits at night. I am honored to meet her today."

Cui Rongrong responded with a gentle smile.

"Mrs. Lin is looking better and better. It's obvious that Master Lin is taking good care of you."

Mrs. Lin's cheeks flushed with shyness and gratitude.

"Thanks to Miss Cui's help, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to recover so quickly and stand here and have a pleasant conversation with you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Tonight, with the moon shining brightly and the breeze blowing gently, I am finally able to personally express my sincere gratitude to you on this quiet and peaceful night.

Mrs. Lin was wearing an exquisite brocade dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements. She bowed slowly, her gentle gesture revealing deep respect.

However, Cui Rong seemed to have anticipated this. She lightly stretched out her white wrist and gently supported Mrs. Lin.

"This is what I should do." She chuckled, her voice gentle yet with a hint of toughness that was barely noticeable. "It's a cold night, why don't we go inside and talk in detail to avoid catching a cold."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin smiled slightly and then led Cui Rongrong into the study.

In the study, there are rows of ancient wooden bookshelves and flickering candlelight, reflecting the tranquility of the room.

Madam Lin called out softly, "Master, Miss Cui is here."

Lin Yuanming was immersed in a mountain of official documents.

Hearing the call, he immediately put down the red brush in his hand, and his eyes, which had seen so much vicissitudes of life, instantly glowed with brilliance, and he greeted Cui Rongrong with a smile on his face: "Since my wife recovered, I have been looking forward to Miss Cui's visit again. I guessed that you might not be able to spare time because of the heavy responsibility of the family, so I didn't dare to disturb you easily."

"You have come to my humble home tonight, so I guess you must have some important matter for me to assist you with. Miss Cui, please feel free to tell me. No matter what it is, I will do my best and try my best!" Lin Yuanming's words were full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

Cui Rongrong responded with a faint smile.

"Mrs. Lin has recovered. Sir Lin, you do look more energetic. I came here this time to ask for an urgent favor."

She paused, her tone becoming serious, "Regarding the incident that happened in the military camp, I believe Master Xu should have mentioned it to Lord Lin. His adventure was truly a life-and-death experience, but fortunately he returned safely in the end, which was a great blessing."

"So, does Miss Cui have any further instructions regarding that matter during this trip?" Lin Yuanming's eyes were bright, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to this matter.

Cui Rongrong took a deep breath and said firmly: "I hope to thoroughly find out the whereabouts of the border person who sneaked into the capital. I know that Lord Lin knows everything about the affairs of the capital. Whether it is the trivialities of the streets and alleys or the secrets between the powerful, you can see through them. Therefore, I believe you can guide me and find the clues of that person."

"This matter not only concerns me personally, but is also closely related to the fate of the entire Cui family. Therefore, I have to trouble Lord Lin to help me." There was both a request and trust in her words.

After hearing this, Lin Yuanming laughed out loud and said, "Ms. Cui really knows me very well. She even knows that I am known as the 'know-it-all' in the capital. Indeed, there is a place that may be able to provide help, but it may require some silver as a stepping stone."

"The intelligence involving people from the border is naturally valuable, I know this." Cui Rongrong's eyes were firm, "Money is not an obstacle for me. As long as I can find that person, I am willing to pay no matter how much silver it costs."

For a person from the border to sneak into the capital quietly, there must be complex and far-reaching power entanglements behind it.
