Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Song Ruozhen originally felt that she had been so busy these past two days that she hadn't had time to tidy up, and that she should take a good shower and groom herself after returning home.

However, as she lay in Chu Junting's arms, the heavy weight on her heart was finally lifted, and she unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Junting looked at the sleeping beauty in his arms. She was already beautiful, but her fair face looked especially adorable when she was asleep. Her soft and delicate appearance made people feel happy.

He reached out and smoothed the strands of hair at her temples, then couldn't resist kissing her again.

Those obsidian-like eyes held a gentle look, but in the next instant, they turned into a deep killing intent.

He didn't want to compete with anyone; he just wanted to be with the girl he liked. But her methods were so insidious, and he didn't know what she might do next.

Since he's in this position, even if he doesn't fight for it, someone will force him to. So he should eliminate these people who are in his way one by one!

Only in this way could he prevent his beloved girl from living in fear.

……

Song Ruozhen slept soundly for a long time.

The worries and exhaustion of the past few days completely overwhelmed me after I was relieved of my burdens, and I didn't wake up until the afternoon of the second day.

"Your Highness, you're finally awake."

When Chenxiang saw that Song Ruozhen had finally woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Baizhi outside, "Your Highness is awake. Quickly prepare some food."

"I'll go right away!" Bai Zhi said with a smile.

Seeing that no one was on the other side of the bed, and glancing at the sky outside, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but ask, "How long have I been asleep?"

“It’s already afternoon.” Chenxiang couldn’t help but laugh.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. "Then why didn't you wake me up?"

"This morning, His Highness instructed you to rest well and not to be disturbed by anyone. How could I dare to disturb you?"

As Chenxiang spoke, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself. The prince was so good to the princess, showing her such tenderness. She was overjoyed to see this.

"Where has the prince gone now?" Song Ruozhen asked.

"Someone came looking for Your Highness this morning. I don't know who it was, but Your Highness instructed me to go to the Dali Temple after you have eaten."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen immediately understood.

The case is currently being investigated by the Dali Temple, but the Ling family's methods are not simple. This matter was definitely planned in advance, and they have probably already killed people to silence them.

Even though the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review was renowned for his brilliant judgment, the Ling family was no pushover. It would not be easy to uncover the Ling family's crimes by following the clues.

"Have someone prepare a carriage; I'm going to the Dali Temple."

Song Ruozhen's eyes were serious. It would be impolite not to reciprocate!

The Ling family has attacked them time and time again. This time, we will make sure the Ling family has no chance to escape!

"Your Highness, please eat something first. You can't neglect your health just to investigate the case!"

Song Ruozhen looked at herself and said, "I'll take a bath and change my clothes first."

"I will prepare it right away."

It wasn't until she had bathed, changed clothes, and dressed up that Song Ruozhen felt much more relaxed.

She needs to perform the divination in a completely clean and honest manner for it to be most accurate.

Dali Temple.

When Yan Zheng, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, received the news that had just been sent back, his face immediately darkened: "Has the owner of that winery been silenced?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, we followed the path this person took and found his body along the way."

Not only him, but all eight people traveling with him were dead; not a single one survived.

Yan Zheng had anticipated this news. The other party had set up such a large scheme, so their identity must be extraordinary. They must have planned everything carefully and wouldn't leave any clues easily.

"Besides them, is there anyone else who knows about their situation? For example, the distillery owner's relatives and friends? Send people to inquire one by one!"

"Subordinates obey orders."

Chu Junting's expression was equally solemn; they knew all too well how difficult this case was to investigate.

However, no matter how difficult it is to investigate, it must be found out. Yan Zheng only has three days. If he cannot find out the truth, he will lose his position.

"The reason they caused such a big incident is not only to ruin my reputation, but from the very beginning their plan was to take my life."

Therefore, they must have been extremely careful throughout the entire process, leaving no survivors.

"They've thought of everything we can think of," Chu Junting said in a deep voice.

Yan Zheng's attitude was firm: "Since they did bad things, they will inevitably leave evidence. No crime is completely airtight, and nothing can go as smoothly as they expect."

If they could truly predict everything, then the prince wouldn't be here now.

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting chuckled and understood why his father had always valued Yan Zheng so highly.

His attitude alone is extraordinary.

“That’s right. If you’ve done it, there must be traces. Let’s look carefully again, we’re sure to find them.”

When Song Ruozhen arrived, she saw Chu Junting and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review chatting happily, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

"Did you find anything?"

The woman's clear voice drew their attention, but Chu Junting shook his head at her expectant gaze. "We haven't found anything yet."

Song Ruozhen was puzzled. She hadn't noticed anything amiss, so why were the two of them so happy?

"Greetings, Princess Consort of Chu." Yan Zheng bowed, glanced at Chu Junting, and then got straight to the point:

"I have specially invited Your Highness here today because I have heard that Your Highness is skilled in metaphysics. The case is currently very complicated, and all those involved have been murdered to silence them. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness for help."

Song Ruozhen had already guessed why she had been summoned, and immediately replied, "If there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to speak up, Lord Yan."

Chu Junting walked up to Song Ruozhen and explained the current situation in detail.

"According to the current investigation, the villagers of Qingyang Village did not see the person who took the items, and the old man and his family have been murdered."

The reason we know the whole story is because the old man told a relative about it, and we learned about it through that relative.

They didn't initially silence them because too many deaths would surely be reported to the authorities, making it impossible to pin the blame for the plague on the military camp.

"Besides, Physician Jin was unaware of the situation and only agreed because he was threatened. The other spy was also just bribed and did not know who was behind it."

All those who were bribed were either silenced or left unaware of the situation.

Song Ruozhen frowned. She had to admit that these guys' plan was watertight; they hadn't left a single clue.

“These lowest-level people in charge of handling things don’t know who the people above are, but they still have to pass the message down one by one. Surely someone will know the truth?”

Song Ruozhen pondered for a moment before speaking, "This person should be one of their trusted confidants, but I wonder if they are really so ruthless as to kill even their trusted confidants?"
