Dali Temple Minister Jiang Yujing was the first to come to his senses and immediately stepped forward to block Gu Zhiyi's way.

His eyes were firm and deep, as if he wanted to reveal every subtle expression of Gu Zhiyi.

Gu Zhiyi was slightly stunned and frowned slightly, but she did not seem panicked.

"Madam, please stay." Jiang Yujing's voice was calm and powerful, revealing a hint of unquestionable meaning.

Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Master Jiang, what does this mean?"

Jiang Yujing smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "Madam, this case involves serious matters. It is not trivial. As the wife of the Duke of Ningguo, you are of noble status. If you get involved in it easily, it may be inappropriate."

Gu Zhiyi bit her lip lightly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Master Jiang, my husband died unjustly, how can I sit back and watch? Even if I am of noble status, I am willing to clear my husband's grievances."

Jiang Yujing looked at Gu Zhiyi deeply, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Madam, I understand your feelings. But this matter involves a lot of people, and it will not be solved overnight. If you are willing, I am willing to work with you to find out the truth together."

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, with a glimmer of trust in her eyes: "Master Jiang, I believe you."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. Jiang Yujing turned around and led Gu Zhiyi into the Dali Temple. Officials along the way saluted and showed respect to this distinguished lady.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Dali Temple was solemn and dignified. Jiang Yujing and Gu Zhiyi sat opposite each other, their eyes met, and they could feel each other's determination.

"Sir Jiang, I heard that this case involves a woman named Li Cui'er. Is she related to this matter?" Gu Zhiyi spoke first, with a sharp look in her eyes.

Jiang Yujing nodded slightly. "Madam, what you said is absolutely right. Li Cui'er is the key figure in this case. She used to be a maid in the Ningguo Mansion, but later left for some reason. According to my investigation, she had contact with a mysterious person not long after she left the Ningguo Mansion."

"A mysterious person?" A hint of doubt flashed in Gu Zhiyi's eyes.

Jiang Yujing pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, this person's identity is mysterious, and we have not yet found out his true identity. But what is certain is that he is inextricably linked to this case."

Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly and couldn't help feeling worried.

"Lord Jiang, how do you think we should proceed?" Gu Zhiyi asked, her eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Yujing smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Madam, this matter is of great importance, we need to make a long-term plan. First, we need to find Li Cui'er and understand the connection between her and the mysterious person. Secondly, we need to investigate the various suspicious points within the Xie Mansion to see if there is anyone colluding with the insiders and the outsiders."

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Master Jiang, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation. As long as I can clear my husband's grievances, I am willing to give everything."

Jiang Yujing looked at Gu Zhiyi, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

One day, they got an important clue in a teahouse: a tea drinker inadvertently mentioned Li Cui'er's whereabouts, saying that she was now in a place called "Forbidden City".

Jiang Yujing and Gu Zhiyi smiled at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes. They were getting closer and closer to the truth. So they immediately set off for the Forbidden City.

In a remote corner of the Forbidden City, Li Cui'er was finally found. She looked haggard, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

It turns out that after Li Cui'er left Xie's house, she was deceived by a mysterious person and forced to participate in a conspiracy. She felt deeply guilty, but couldn't extricate herself. It wasn't until Jiang Yujing and Gu Zhiyi appeared that she saw the dawn of hope.

"Madam, please stay." Jiang Yujing's voice was calm and powerful, his eyes were like torches, fixed on Gu Zhiyi.

Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Master Jiang, what do you mean?"

Jiang Yujing smiled slightly, but that smile was filled with unquestionable firmness: "Madam, this matter is of great importance. Please follow me back to the Dali Temple. There are some things that need your personal explanation."

Gu Zhiyi bit her lower lip lightly, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.

"Lord Jiang, I... I do have some things to deal with. Can we talk about it later?" Gu Zhiyi tried to delay time.

Jiang Yujing's eyes turned slightly cold, he clearly felt Gu Zhiyi's hesitation and resistance.

"Madam, this matter involves a major case. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, it may cause a bigger disturbance." Jiang Yujing said in a firm tone, his eyes as sharp as knives, looking directly at Gu Zhiyi.

Gu Zhiyi was silent for a moment. She knew she couldn't delay any longer. She took a deep breath and nodded gently: "Okay, Master Jiang, I'll go to the Dali Temple with you."

The two walked side by side, and the atmosphere in the Dali Temple seemed unusually solemn. Jiang Yujing led Gu Zhiyi through the corridor and came to a spacious room.

There were various documents and files in the room. Jiang Yujing walked straight to the table, picked up a document and handed it to Gu Zhiyi: "Madam, this is the investigation report on this case. Please take a look."

Gu Zhiyi took the document, she flipped through it gently, and her eyes gradually became solemn.

"Sir Jiang, are the contents of this document...true?" Gu Zhiyi raised her head, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Yujing smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence: "Madam, my Dali Temple's investigations have always been rigorous, and the contents of this document are all supported by solid evidence."

Gu Zhiyi nodded gently. Although she was worried, she also knew that what Jiang Yujing said was true. She took a deep breath and asked, "So, how does Lord Jiang plan to deal with this case?"

Jiang Yujing's eyes flashed with determination: "Madam, this case involves serious matters. Our Dali Temple will go all out to get to the bottom of it. But in the process, I need your cooperation."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination: "Master Jiang, I understand. I will fully cooperate with the Dali Temple's investigation."

"Sir Jiang, there is one thing I don't understand. Please explain it to me." Gu Zhiyi suddenly spoke, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Jiang Yujing smiled slightly: "Madam, please speak."

"In this case, has anyone deliberately framed my husband?" Gu Zhiyi looked directly at Jiang Yujing with a firm tone.

Jiang Yujing's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity: "Madam, this case is complicated. It is still unclear whether there is a frame-up. But my Dali Temple will definitely go all out to get to the bottom of it."

Gu Zhiyi nodded gently. Although she was worried, she also knew that what Jiang Yujing said was true. She took a deep breath and said to Jiang Yujing, "Master Jiang, I trust you. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and clear my husband's name."

Jiang Yujing nodded gently: "Madam, rest assured, the Dali Temple will definitely go all out and will never let you down."
