The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Qi Feng added, "We didn't alarm Miss Mu. Do you want to investigate further?"

Xiao Yibai nodded, "Tell Qiyun to recover from his injuries and leave the detailed investigation to the Night Wolf Guard. Divide the evidence of Prince Rui's embezzlement of funds for the construction of the Weinan River Dam into two copies. Send one to the Dali Temple and one to Prince Qi to clean up the mess."

"Yes, I understand." Qi Feng clenched his fist and quickly went out.

The Prince of Rui is the eldest prince Xiao Yichen, and the Prince of Qi is the fourth prince Xiao Yize. Both of them are legitimate princes born to the queen.

Ji Yun was Xiao Yibai's good friend and a skilled doctor. He was confused when he heard that the evidence of Prince Rui's corruption was being given to Prince Qi. "Your Highness, what do you mean by giving it to Prince Qi? Isn't Prince Qi from the same faction as Prince Rui?"

Xiao Yibai curled his lip, "On the surface, it is true. I have only just discovered in the past few days that my fourth brother is quite ambitious. Let's see. I am also curious about who will get the evidence in the end."

Ji Yun sighed, "To be honest, being born into a royal family may seem noble, but in reality, you live in fear every day. It's not as good as Qi Heng's comfortable life. Look at what kind of life you live every day."

Xiao Yibai smiled bitterly, "I can't choose my birthplace. If I could choose, I wouldn't want to be born into the royal family."

He has been assassinated countless times over the years and nearly lost his life several times. Even if his father knew who sent the assassins, he would still be able to get away with it.

"Ji Yun, in this temperature, is there any way to carry an ice needle thinner than a finger on your body without it melting?"

Ji Yun looked at Xiao Yibai as if he were an idiot. "Your Highness Prince Jin, you've probably hit your head. It's already spring, and it might be possible in the north, but it's much colder there. Even in the coldest weather here, if you were to carry such a tiny piece of ice on your body without melting, it wouldn't last more than a quarter of an hour."

Xiao Yibai also understood, but he couldn't figure out how that woman had so many ice needles as hidden weapons.

Seeing him deep in thought, Ji Yun asked curiously, "Yi Bai, why do you want the ice needle to not melt?"

"The woman who saved me that day used an ice needle as a hidden weapon."

Xiao Yibai's words startled Ji Yun, "How is that possible? Could you be mistaken?"

Xiao Yibai glanced at him sideways, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

Yes, it is impossible for Xiao Yibai to be wrong. That is strange. In the current temperature, not to mention whether the ice needles can be kept from melting, even the source of the ice is a problem. According to what Qifeng found out, the two girls live in a rural village. It is unlikely that they dug an ice cellar to store ice, not to mention that they want to make ice needles.

Xiao Yibai had naturally thought of what Ji Yun had thought of. "Forget it, let's ignore this matter for now. Arrange for someone to cause some trouble for Prince Rui's pharmacy. This will give him something to do and make him think less about me, his younger brother."

"Okay," Ji Yun agreed, "Then you rest, I'll go back first."

Mu Xiyue didn't take the accident that day to heart, but in order to avoid running into that group of people again, she and Xiaotao rested for five days and did not go into the mountains.

After getting up in the morning, Mu Xiyue was bored and decided to take Xiaotao to dig bamboo shoots. There were a lot of bamboo shoots in spring, and they could be dug and dried. As the two of them reached the foot of the mountain with their backpacks on their backs, they saw a group of government officials and soldiers heading up the mountain. A number of people had already gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The village chief came over when he saw Mu Xiyue and the other girl. "Xiyue girl, are you two going into the mountains? It's better not to go today. Many people have died in the mountains."

Mu Xiyue frowned. What did it mean that many people died? "Uncle Village Chief, what's going on?"

The village chief sighed and told the two of them what happened down the mountain.

It turned out that the group of men in black that they had killed five days ago had just been discovered. Because the location where the fight took place that day was relatively deep, ordinary villagers did not dare to go so deep. Only Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao dared to go so deep because they relied on their special abilities.

Yesterday, a hunter from the neighboring village went too far in pursuit of pheasants. Seeing a field of corpses, he was so frightened that he tumbled down the mountain, not even returning home, but running to the town government office to report the crime. Upon hearing about the numerous corpses in black, the county magistrate, sensing the gravity of the situation, immediately sent a report to the prefect in the county seat. So, early this morning, the county sent officers and soldiers to investigate.

Xiao Tao was so frightened after hearing this that she kept looking at her mistress, but to her surprise, her mistress looked calm, as if she had no idea at all.

Mu Xiyue naturally knew Xiao Tao's uneasiness. She held Xiao Tao's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid. There are so many people here. If you don't dare to look, then we can go home. Anyway, we won't be able to dig bamboo shoots today."

The villagers who were close to the two of them also heard Mu Xiyue's words. A middle-aged uncle laughed and teased, "You two girls can easily hunt wild boars, but you are afraid of seeing dead people."

Xiao Tao was obviously a little scared, and her face was not very good. Mu Xiyue's face was also a little serious, "Uncle, hunting wild boars is different. Wild boars are originally hunted for meat, but killing people is so scary. That's a human!"

There were also women from the village standing nearby. Overhearing everyone talking about the numerous deaths, they were both eager to see the excitement and a little frightened, their faces turning pale. This place was only a two-day carriage ride from the capital. While not exactly the emperor's home, the security was relatively good. Ordinary people had never encountered such a thing.

After standing there for about half an hour, the bodies were carried down the mountain one by one. Fortunately, it was only early spring and the temperature in the mountains was lower than that at the foot of the mountain. After five days, the bodies had not yet started to stink. However, there were not many intact bodies, and most of them showed signs of being eaten by wild beasts.

There were bursts of vomiting sounds from the crowd, and some timid women were so scared that they fell to the ground.

Mu Xiyue pulled Xiaotao behind the crowd so that others wouldn't see that they were not afraid of the corpses.

After all the bodies on the mountain were carried to the carriages prepared in advance by the officers and soldiers, Mu Xiyue had almost finished looking. Judging from their clothes, they were not the same as the two men in brocade robes, so it seemed that the two men did not die on the mountain. Seeing how seriously injured the two men were that day, she felt that they might not be able to survive and get down the mountain.

Mu Xiyue whispered to Xiaotao that she was going home and didn't read any further.

Xiao Tao was so disgusted by the mutilated corpses that she couldn't even eat her lunch. Mu Xiyue didn't care. She had been used to seeing dead people for five years in the apocalypse, and such scenes no longer affected her.

However, considering Xiaotao's fragile heart, Mu Xiyue only cooked vegetable noodles at noon without adding any shredded meat.

As the two of them picked up their bowls, they heard a voice outside the door. It was the village chief's voice.

Xiao Tao went out and saw that it was the village chief and two yamen runners who came to visit and investigate.

Mu Xiyue put down the bowl and walked out, "Uncle Village Chief, what is this?"

The village chief smiled soothingly, "Xiyue girl, don't be afraid. These two officers are here to investigate and question the man from the mountain this morning. Just tell the truth."

Mu Xiyue smiled at the two yamen runners and asked, "What do you two officers want to ask?"

The village chief must have told the two yamen runners about Mu Xiyue's identity before coming, so the two yamen runners were quite polite to Mu Xiyue.
