"Ying, do we really have to believe what he said?" Paimeng looked at Ying who was staring at the talisman in her hand with some concern.

Ying chuckled, "How is that possible? He said he wouldn't investigate, so he didn't? Doesn't that mean we've been deceived and we don't even know it?"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Ying's pretty face lifted, a bit proud. "Just like he said, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Of course, I have to check it out first."

You want her to come here just by saying a few words? No way!

However, regardless of whether it was true or not, she had to investigate first. It would be bad if Su Mo really died because of this. Besides, she was just running a distance to call someone, which was not a big deal. If she could really rescue Su Mo, then why not do it?

"Well, that's fine. But what if something happens to Su Mo when we go to investigate?" Paimeng asked worriedly.

"Then just finish the check and then hurry on your way." Ying said indifferently.

"Huh!? Yes, it takes the same amount of time, but you can do more things. Hehe, Ying, you are really smart." After the praise, Paimeng suddenly thought of something.

"That's not right, Ying. Why don't we hurry on from the start? That way, if Su Mo is captured, he can be rescued in the shortest possible time."

Ying's smile froze, and she looked at Paimon speechlessly, "Haha, you are such a genius."

Paimon scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Hehe, it's not that exaggerated actually."

……

"Sister Xiyue, you don't have to walk so fast."

Su Mo felt helpless as the car was shaking. Although it was indeed fast, it was very uncomfortable.

Ningguang, who was sitting across from him, steadied herself. "You don't understand. I know you probably won't believe it, but that's just the way it is. After all, power is always tempting."

"Then you don't have to be so anxious. The more times like this come, the more we need to stay calm."

"Calm down? Haha, I'm calm now, but those people won't give you time to calm down." She had already calmed down at the altar before.

"Bai Shi! Faster!"

"Yes!"

……

General Affairs Department

"Lord Ningguang, we've arrived!"

Ningguang lifted the door curtain, then slowly got out of the car. She stared at the towering steps of the General Affairs Department in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

After Su Mo got off the car, he looked at the indifferent Ningguang and felt a little confused.

He looked anxious just now, so why does he seem so calm now?

At this time, Ningguang came back to her senses and smiled at Su Mo, "Let's go."

Then he led the two of them up the stairs.

But for some reason, she walked very slowly this time, so slowly that Su Mo couldn't help but feel confused and his palms felt hot.

"Sister Xiyue, don't you need to tell other people about this? For example, Keqing?"

Hearing this, Bai Shi, who was originally following closely behind her, suddenly slowed down. Su Mo noticed this and glanced at her without saying anything. Instead, he looked at Ningguang's profile.

"I've already informed her." Ningguang replied without even looking up.

"Then the General Affairs Department..."

"Don't worry, Ganyu is here, so nothing can happen. However, a fierce battle is inevitable."

She knew that now that the Emperor had fallen, those noble families would definitely try to find a way to get a piece of the pie. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be a huge trouble.

"If that's the case, then why are you still wasting time investigating the murderer?" Su Mo asked. Logically, if it was as urgent as Ningguang said, shouldn't she have rushed here immediately? But she didn't. Instead, she immediately ordered the investigation of the murderer and waited until they had made some progress before rushing over. This didn't seem urgent at all.

"Why don't you check?" Hearing this, Ningguang turned her head and looked at Su Mo.

"Or do you really think that the Emperor was assassinated?"
