Chu Junze stopped and frowned, "Have you sent anyone to look for him?"

"Your Majesty, we have sent people to look for him, but there is no news yet," Eunuch Xi replied.

Chu Junze pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't make this public in advance, so as not to alert the enemy. Also, send more people to find Ning Wan'er's whereabouts. Remember to find her alive or dead!"

Eunuch Xi immediately responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After arranging things over there, the two of them came to the Qinzheng Hall in silence.

At this time, civil and military officials had arrived early in the Qinzheng Hall.

When they heard the words "The Emperor has arrived", the civil and military officials who were still talking immediately and quietly returned to their seats.

Then at the morning court, civil and military officials discussed the matters of the Spring Examination. As the Spring Examination was approaching, students from all over Zhao State arrived in the capital one after another.

Therefore, in order to better accommodate these students and for the stability of the capital, Chu Junze ordered the prefect of the capital to cooperate with the soldiers of the city defense camp to strengthen patrols of the capital.

After retiring from court, Chu Junze immediately went to the cold palace. Wei Mingxue's body was still there. He didn't know what the situation was now.

Thinking of this, Chu Junze urged the eunuchs who were carrying the dragon chariot, "Faster, faster."

After he found out the cause of Wei Mingxue's death in the cold palace, he said to Long Yi beside him: "Go and find out where Ning Wan'er went and why she wanted to kill Wei Mingxue."

A few days later, Chu Junze finally got the news that Ning Wan'er was hiding in a mountain outside the capital.

After learning the news, Chu Junze immediately ordered that she must be brought back regardless of life or death.

Fortunately, at the foot of the mountain, they finally found some suspicious traces, so Long Yi led the second team of dark guards into the forest along the traces.

Along the way, the mountain road was rugged and Long Yi and his companions moved forward cautiously, and finally found the imprisoned Ning Wan'er in a cave.

At this time, Ning Wan'er looked much more haggard and had many wounds on her body.

When she saw Long Yi, a hint of surprise and fear flashed in her eyes.

Long Yi walked up to Ning Wan'er, squatted down, looked directly into her eyes, and asked sternly: "Ning Wan'er, did you cause Wei Mingxue's death? Why?"

Ning Wan'er lowered her head and said nothing, but tears kept rolling down her face.

Long Yi felt annoyed. He stood up, turned his back to Ning Wan'er, and said in a cold voice, "No matter what your reasons are, killing someone means paying with your life. This is only natural."

After saying that, Long Yi took her back to the palace with his secret guards and put her in jail.

After Long Yi completed the task, he went to meet Chu Junze.

After hearing what he said, Chu Junze frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Lock her up for a few days first, and then I will interrogate her myself."

"Your Majesty, I think there is something fishy about this matter." Long Yi bowed to Chu Junze.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Chu Junze raised his head and looked at Long Yi.

"According to my investigation, although Ning Wan'er and Wei Mingxue have grievances, they have been limited to verbal quarrels since they were banished to the cold palace.

As for fighting, there was a wall between them, and the guards who patrolled every day did not find anything unusual, so it was unlikely that they would fight. "Long Yi analyzed.

Chu Junze pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense. In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

"I believe that this matter should be investigated in depth to find more evidence. At the same time, we also need to be on guard against someone deliberately framing Ning Wan'er or directly killing her to silence her." Long Yi said.

Chu Junze nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Also, send someone to secretly protect Ning Wan'er to prevent her from being murdered. At least she can't die now."

"Yes, I obey your command." Long Yi took the order and left.

A few days later, Long and his men searched the cold palace carefully and found some strange clues.

"Your Majesty, this was found under Wei Mingxue's bed." Long Yi presented a jade hairpin with Ning Wan'er's name engraved on it.

Chu Junze took the jade hairpin, looked at it for a moment, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"It seems that things are not that simple. Keep checking!"

At the same time, Ning Wan'er spent her days in the cell like years. She didn't understand why she was kidnapped, and she didn't understand what Wei Mingxue's death had to do with her.

Just as she was thinking hard, Chu Junze was already on his way.

So when Chu Junze came to the prison, Ning Wan'er said impatiently: "I really don't know anything. When I woke up, I was in that cave. I didn't kill Wei Mingxue."

Chu Junze just looked at her quietly until she shut her mouth. Then he said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you killed her or not. What matters is how you escaped from the cold palace and who helped you. Don't say you don't know.

You know, this "truth pill" in my hand can let me know everything I want to know."

As he said that, he gestured to Long Yi to feed her the pill.

Ning Wan'er fought back desperately, but with her small body that had lacked exercise for many years, she was undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake a tree when facing Long Yi.

Long Yi quickly fed her the pill and then stood behind Chu Junze.

At this time, Wei Mingxue was desperately scratching her mouth and throat, trying to spit out the medicine, but the products of the space were not ordinary things.

After a while, the medicine took effect.

However, what happened next was something no one expected.

Ning Wan'er's voice suddenly changed, and even her eyes and expression changed instantly.

"Hahaha, in the end you still have to rely on me to kill the people you hate! Ning Wan'er, you're a loser! It's always like this. Whenever you can't solve a problem, you wake me up. Hahahahahahaha, loser."

In the empty prison, Ning Wan'er was smiling strangely and saying some incomprehensible words.

Seeing this, Long Yi immediately drew out his sword and stood in front of Chu Junze.

Chu Junze looked at her coldly. Although he didn't understand what was wrong with the Ning Wan'er in front of him, based on what he had seen so far, this Ning Wan'er was not the same Ning Wan'er as before.

Before they could do anything, Ning Wan'er suddenly stood up, looked at them with contempt and said, "That bitch should have died a long time ago. So what if I killed her? If she cursed at me, I would stab her.

Hahahahahahahaha, you know, when I stabbed her for the first time, she actually had an expression of disbelief on her face. She thought I didn't dare to do it. It's so ridiculous."

"So you admit that you killed Wei Mingxue?" Chu Junze shouted angrily.

"Hahahahahahahaha, not only can I kill her, I can also kill you!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Ning Wan'er's eyes.

After saying that, she suddenly attacked and pounced towards Chu Junze.

When Long Yi saw this, he immediately drew his sword to block it.

The two of them instantly fought fiercely.

Chu Junze took the opportunity to take a few steps back, thinking to himself: What happened to Ning Wan'er? Could it be that someone has taken over her body? She obviously doesn't know martial arts, right?

At this moment, Ning Wan'er changed her moves and suddenly attacked Chu Junze.

Seeing this, Chu Junze drew out the soft sword from his waist, and with a "swish", the sword pierced her body.

She slowly fell to the ground, but a smile of relief appeared on her face.
