Jun Qingge asked himself if he was stupid enough to do it himself.

Besides, it’s just a substitute and can’t affect her at all. What difference does it make whether she is alive or dead?

"Then I wonder where your confidant was at that time?"

"She is also in my mother's palace. My confidant was assigned to me by my father himself. She is one of the death squads I trained. My father also saw her at that time. You can also ask my father to verify whether I lied about this matter."

Ye Ruoxi had already considered it in her mind. She knew a little about the princess and knew that with her temperament, it was indeed not like she would kill someone and deny it, and even dump the body in public as a threat.

"I have finished asking my questions. Although I may not trouble Your Highness the Princess again in the future, I hope Your Highness can cooperate with my duties and not return to the Princess Palace during this period."

"It's natural."

Jun Qingge smiled and said, "I heard that the director knows Miss Pei?"

Although this sentence is a question, it is also affirmative. It seems that although the princess never leaves her house, she has many things under control.

Ye Ruoxi always believes what she says, so she won't refute it.

"Yes."

"Then this is truly a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple." Jun Qingge's tone became more familiar. "Miss Pei is a guest elder in my princess's residence. This is also the result of my repeated visits to her."

Ye Ruoxi: “?”

"Director Ye must be very surprised, right?" Jun Qingge thought of recruiting Pei Zhiyi and felt that it was the best decision she had ever made. "I admire her very much. At her age, she has such grace and strength. It's not just her talent that's needed, she's also made a lot of sacrifices. And what we humans lack right now is women like this, women who can use their power and fists to break the shackles of the world."

"So, Your Highness the Princess is also planning for that position?"

Facing Ye Ruoxi's probing, Jun Qingge openly admitted, "Yes, I dare to admit it in front of you. I do covet that position. My mother accompanied my father in conquering the world. It can be said that my father's ability to sit on this position is half due to my mother's contribution, and half to my family's contribution. If my mother hadn't been willing to live in this harem for my father, she would be as capable as a man outside."

"As my mother's daughter, I naturally have the ambition to compete. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. What do you think, Director Ye?"

"It's natural."

Ye Ruoxi didn't want to interfere in the matter of succession to the throne.

"I knew you would understand. After all, you are a woman, in charge of the vast Immortal Guard Division. I heard that the previous director of the Immortal Guard Division was also a woman. Although some old bones disagreed, they all submitted to the fist of a woman."

"I dare say that if the human race in the future is under my control, it will definitely be a world dominated by women!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Crisp applause came from behind the two of them.

Pei Zhiyi took off his veil, revealing his stunning face.

"Knowing the meaning?"

Ye Ruoxi was stunned. She had already asked the Immortal Guards to control the entrance and exit of the palace. How did he get in?

"Why are you so surprised to see me?"

Pei Zhiyi came over and said, "I borrowed a little momentum, so I came in."

As for whose power is being borrowed, anyone with a discerning eye can figure it out.

Ye Ruoxi smiled helplessly, "Master Imperial Master has been very indulgent towards you."

Pei Zhiyi shrugged without comment.

"I came here this time, firstly, for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and secondly, to help you."

Speaking of this, Ye Ruoxi sighed.

"I'm completely clueless right now. When I interrogated these princes and princesses, they kept their mouths shut. And I can honestly sense they wouldn't be so foolish as to personally take action, let alone publicly make such a threat. After all, they're all aiming for that position, so naturally, they wouldn't act so high-profile on a daily basis."

"Then have you ever considered that the Lantern Festival is a mixed bag, with countless races attending. Perhaps the death of this eldest prince has nothing to do with the human race."

Ye Ruoxi nodded. "I've considered this possibility, but we have peace agreements with all the tribes, so I can't rashly upset the balance. Furthermore, the current situation is already tense, and everyone is watching to see who will break the balance first. If we start a war just because of the eldest prince's death, the human race can't withstand war right now."

"Director Ye's consideration makes sense." Jun Qingge walked closer. She knew that Pei Zhiyi had set up a protective shield for their area when he came, so she spoke more boldly now.

"But Director Ye, have you ever considered that we are now on the territory of our human capital? No matter who he is, whether he is an elf, a dwarf, a demon, or a devil, he must abide by the laws of our capital and accept the judgment of our capital according to the law. It was Jun Ting who died. Even if my father is cold-hearted, he will investigate thoroughly for the sake of his reputation. So Director Ye only needs to report the situation to my father, and then everything else will be much easier."

"Your Highness is right, Ruoxi. We are all following your orders anyway. So even if something terrible happens later, it's none of our business."

Ye Ruoxi was silent for a while, "You are right, special treatment is required for special times."

Pei Zhiyi smiled and patted Ye Ruoxi's back to comfort her, "No matter what happens, I'm here." She couldn't just sit back and watch her friend get into danger.

And she came to the palace for another more important reason.

"I just know that because of you, there are some things I don't dare to do without any hesitation. I don't want to implicate you."

It’s okay for Ye Ruoxi to be alone. She is alone now anyway, so it doesn’t make any difference whether she is dead or alive.

But when she thought that there were still people in this world who cared about her, she suddenly felt that it was useful to keep her life well. At least in the eyes of others, her life was cherished.

"After I've interrogated everyone, I'll report to the Human King and request a large-scale search."

"I'll have to trouble Director Ye with this matter."

"It's my duty. Your Highness, there's no need to thank me."

"Miss Pei, or Zhiyi, can I call you that now?" Jun Qingge felt that always calling her Miss Pei made the distance between them seem too far.

"Just feel free to do it."

A name is just a title, and others can use it as they please.

Jun Qingge was satisfied. "Then Zhiyi, please come back to my bedroom with me now. I have something to discuss with you."

"it is good."

"Then you go ahead. If anything happens later, Zhiyi, we can contact each other the old way."

Pei Zhiyi nodded. "You are in the center of the storm now. You must be careful about everything, especially the arrows from behind."

"I still have some sense of vigilance, don't worry."
