The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Prime Minister Zou was so angry that his breathing became heavy. "Stop immediately! Forget about the money. Remember to be discreet and don't reveal your identity!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency! The Ruthless Pavilion doesn't know who's behind this," Zhang Lin nodded and said.

"Alright, then go and do it!" Prime Minister Zou sighed as he watched Zhang Lin's departing figure. He never expected Jingxue to be so capable!

It seems this path is blocked. He had previously thought, "Even a hungry tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves!" But Jing Xue is even more powerful than a hungry tiger. So many experts have died at her hands, which is extremely unexpected.

The reason Prime Minister Zou asked Zhang Lin to stop was because he was afraid of exposing himself. He didn't want to confront Jing Xue and Ye Muchen directly.

Regarding the theft in his own residence, he only felt that Jingxue was the most suspicious. Besides, he originally wanted to bring down Ye Muchen and Jing Zhiyuan, so even if Jingxue didn't steal his silver, eliminating Jingxue would still be a blow to Ye Muchen.

Now it seems that neither of them is easy to mess with. He also secretly investigated the matter of the county princess's mansion. Someone saw that Princess Zhan had visited the county princess's mansion that day. The wall should be Jingxue's work. It seems that this matter still needs to be considered in a long-term manner and approached from another angle.

Jingxue soon met Shadow A and the five people he brought.

"Young Miss, you summoned your subordinates. Please give your orders!" The six men bowed in unison, and Shadow A said.

"Ying Jiu was slightly injured. I've told him to rest for two days. Arrange for two people to protect the young master along with Ying Shiwu. Also, have you found anything out during this time?"

"Reporting to Miss, I have been keeping an eye on Mavru Sihai during this time, while the others are helping out at the shop."

"Is there anything unusual about that coachman?"

Shadow A shook his head.

"Let's not worry about that person for now. The young master and I were assassinated by the ruthless organization Wuqing Pavilion. It must have been a hired attack. Go and investigate whether it was the county princess's mansion or the imperial princess's mansion."

Jingxue thought the Imperial Aunt's residence would be easier to investigate, so she handed it over to the Shadow Guards. As for whether they were from the capital, she would investigate that herself, since she had special abilities.

For the next few days, apart from picking up and dropping off Jingze and An'an, Jingxue spent most of her time away from the mansion, including at night.

When the guards in the manor reported to Ye Muchen, he only said, "I know!" and nothing more.

Five days later, Anjia brought back a man and went directly to the camp on the outskirts of the capital.

Inside Ye Muchen's tent, Anjia and Anyi brought in a person whose head was covered.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought!" Anjia said, throwing the man to the ground. Anyi stepped forward and pulled the rag out of the man's mouth.

"Are you the deputy sect leader of the Ruthless Pavilion?" Ye Muchen asked coldly.

The man's Achilles tendon had clearly been severed. "Who are you?"

An Yi kicked the man, yelling, "The prince is asking you a question! Speak up if you don't want to die!"

"Who hired you to kill the Princess Consort of War?" Ye Muchen's voice was icy cold.

The man's hands were tied. He struggled several times before finally giving up, saying, "We only care about money, not people!"

"Hmph! What a fine example of someone who only cares about money and not people! I'm afraid you'll earn money but not live to spend it!"

"Stop saying useless things, kill us or do whatever you want! We're all living paycheck to paycheck, so we'll live one day at a time!"

"I don't believe you! You didn't even see what the employer looked like!"

"Are you out of your mind? You hire someone to kill someone and then do it yourself? Especially for big shots like you, you usually just send a subordinate. So, we only care about the money, not the person. Besides, that princess is too amazing. I sent fifteen people, and none of them survived. I really want to see what kind of woman she is."

"It's a pity you'll never see him in this lifetime!" Ye Muchen said, waving his hand.

The two men in dark armor carried that person out.

Ye Muchen leaned back in his chair. In fact, he had also thought of this. Even if he found the Ruthless Pavilion, it would be difficult to find the employer behind it. However, the Ruthless Pavilion really had no reason to exist.

"Gao Chi!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Gao Chi responded and walked in.

"Your Highness, please give your orders!"

"By my order, General Han shall select one hundred elite soldiers, led by Dark Armor, to secretly set out and annihilate the Ruthless Pavilion!"

"Yes!"

Shadow A also brought back the results of the investigation to Jingxue. Princess Kangping was busy taking care of Princess Xuanhui and her wet nurse at both the Princess's Mansion and the Imperial Aunt's Mansion.

The topic they talked about most was their illnesses. The wet nurse of Princess Kangping was in better condition and Princess Kangping was planning to move her to the Imperial Princess's residence.

"You've worked hard!" Jingxue said.

“This is what I should do! Miss, the one who framed our prince must be someone in the court. They are very likely colluding with Cangbei!” Shadow Armor said.

Jingxue may have thought about this, but what is this person's ultimate goal?

“Shadow A, what crimes has my father committed?” Jingxue asked.

"This subordinate does not know. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any. His Highness spends very little time in the court. However, when His Highness was promoted from Grand General to Prince of Zhenbei, some people were dissatisfied. Our Prince is the first non-royal prince of Beiye Kingdom, so it is normal for him to be envied. This is also why our Prince requested to have his fiefdom far away from the court."

Jingxue was unaware of these matters, especially after the original owner of this body left.

Furthermore, she had almost no communication with Ye Muchen, so she knew virtually nothing about him.

"Which officials ranked between the rank of Grand General and Prince, or which officials held higher positions and more power than Father?"

“Young Miss, in the middle…” Shadow A thought for a moment and said, “Prime Minister, it seems there’s only the Prime Minister!”

Jingxue felt a sense of sudden enlightenment; it really was that old guy!

"Although the Prime Minister is the head of all officials,..." Shadow A hesitated before continuing.

"But what?"

“But, our prince is in his fiefdom, so it doesn’t affect him at all. I think that if he really is the prime minister, then his ultimate goal should be the War King. After all, the War King and our prince are father-in-law and son-in-law, so they can be said to be tied together…” Shadow A did not continue.

However, Jingxue understood his meaning. It was normal for factions to form in the imperial court, which was why many people sought marriage alliances, as marriage alliances were essentially about choosing sides.

By taking action against the Prince of Zhenbei, one of the Prince of Zhan's allies was indirectly weakened.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister Zou, he's also the Second Prince's uncle!" Jingxue muttered to herself.

"Yes, young lady!"

"Alright! I understand. Observe the Imperial Concubine for a few more days. I will call you back if anything happens!"

"Yes, Miss, I'll take my leave!"

In the past few days, Jingxue had spent a long time wandering around the aristocratic families in Beicheng, but she had actually overlooked the residence of the Second Prince, Ye Musen.

Looks like I'll have to go check it out tonight.

That evening, Ye Muchen did not come to Jingning Garden.

After having dinner, Jingxue left the manor. The Prince Duan's manor was about a quarter of an hour's walk from the Prince Zhan's manor. The Prince Duan's manor was larger than the Prince Zhan's manor. Jingxue didn't get too close, but used her supernatural abilities to go inside and observe. The Prince Duan was drinking with a woman.

Jingxue had met the Second Princess and Consort Yu before, and it was clear that this woman was not one of them. She wasn't in a hurry, so she lowered the brim of her cloak and walked slowly.
