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

Chu Junting and Yan Zheng exchanged a glance. The fact that so many lives were involved in this incident showed just how ruthless the Ling family was.

It's not surprising that they would do something like this to ensure everything goes perfectly.

After all, if they were implicated in this matter, they would be doomed.

Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Song Ruozhen understood, but nothing could be guaranteed to be foolproof.

Even if someone is killed to cover up their crime, it's hard to guarantee that the victim won't leave any clues.

After all, everyone cares most about their own life, and even if they are always working for their master, they will not leave themselves no way out.

"Can I see the evidence we have now?" Song Ruozhen asked again.

"Of course it's no problem."

Chu Junting and Yan Zheng accompanied Song Ruozhen to see the evidence. All the evidence that had been discovered was placed together, but all the people involved were dead, leaving only cold corpses.

After Song Ruozhen looked through everything, she realized that there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and she didn't believe that the Ling family could really keep everything completely secret.

"Actually, I did find someone who might be related to this matter, but I haven't been able to find him."

Yan Zheng frowned, looking troubled. In fact, he had been keeping a close eye on the Ling family even before they returned to the city, and discovered that someone frequently visited the Ling family, who seemed to be a trusted confidant.

After this incident, his intuition told him that this person was likely involved, but he hadn't seen him at all in recent days.

"Are you talking about Zhao Qian?" Chu Junting suddenly asked.

Yan Zheng was slightly taken aback. "Your Highness also knows this person?"

When Chu Junting realized that Yan Zheng was talking about the same person as him, a sense of understanding flashed through his mind. It seemed that Yan Zheng had also been keeping an eye on the Ling family, otherwise he wouldn't know about Zhao Qian.

Because Zhao Qian usually appears very discreetly, without careful investigation, no one would know his relationship with the Ling family.

"I had investigated this before," Chu Junting said frankly.

"Let me calculate it," Song Ruozhen said.

Yan Zheng couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Just knowing the name is enough to calculate it?"

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "At least knowing the name is better than knowing nothing at all."

The next moment, Song Ruozhen took out the tortoise shell and began to calculate.

Because this person is extremely important, the more accurate the calculation, the better. The more they know about him, the faster they can find him.

Yan Zheng watched Song Ruozhen's actions with curiosity. He had only heard of her reputation before, but had never seen her in person.

Song Ruozhen put the coin into the tortoise shell, shook it three times, and the coin fell out. She then memorized a word.

After several such encounters, Yan Zheng noticed that Song Ruozhen's aura had changed, and she seemed unfathomable. His eyes unconsciously filled with respect.

He had seen such an aura in enlightened monks before, but he never expected that the Princess of Chu would be so powerful at such a young age. She was definitely not an ordinary person!

Before long, Song Ruozhen gave a direction.

"East."

"Not in the capital?" Yan Zheng asked hurriedly.

He has been sending people to investigate for the past two days, but there has been no news at all. It's as if the person has vanished into thin air, and there is no trace of him whatsoever.

“No.” Song Ruozhen nodded. “But it’s not very far away, just to the east of the city outskirts.”

Chu Junting knew that Song Ruozhen could calculate the precise location, but the area to the east of the city was extremely large, and even if she, a young woman, knew this, she would probably have a hard time describing it.

He immediately brought out a map of the area outside the city and placed it in front of Song Ruozhen, asking, "Approximately what area is it?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly and pointed to one of the locations, saying, "Right here."

Yan Zheng's eyes lit up. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his men to arrest the person.

He had almost no doubt.

Because Qingyang Village was the first place where the plague broke out, this was what Song Ruozhen calculated.

When he first heard about it, he was also very skeptical. How could something so difficult to investigate be calculated so easily?

However, after seeing it with his own eyes, he had to admit that its abilities were definitely not simple.

"I'd better go there myself!" Yan Zheng thought for a moment and felt that this person was indeed a key figure.

The Emperor has given him little time; if he can catch this man, the case will be much easier to solve.

"Let's go too."

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting and expressed her concerns, "Their methods are unusual. When I was doing the divination, I found their aura to be very hazy."

Clearly, someone tampered with him to prevent us from finding him.

I'm worried that if we don't go, things might change.

"However, the case hasn't been fully investigated yet. If we get involved, wouldn't that...?"

Before Song Ruozhen could finish speaking, Chu Junting already understood her concerns.

After all, the case is currently being investigated by the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and they themselves are part of the case. If people find out that they are involved, they might criticize them for it.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I invited you two here today to assist in the investigation."

I only helped to determine the location of the person; I did nothing else. I will report the truth to the Emperor and will not allow anyone to use this as an excuse to cause trouble.

Yan Zheng looked serious. He had already anticipated this when he invited the Prince of Chu and his wife, and he knew that the Emperor also approved of it.

"Don't worry, it's alright." Chu Junting knew that his wife was always thinking of him, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Yan Zheng asked, "Shall we set off together?"

"it is good."

As Song Ruozhen and her group set off for the outskirts of the city, Ling Qian'er also received the news.

She glanced at the letter in her hand, which read: "The situation is not good."

The moment Ling Qian'er saw those four words, her face turned ugly. She remembered that she had communicated with the master before, and that writing those four words meant that everyone would be killed.

"The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is so capable? He has clearly hidden all other clues, and even set up an array at the place where Zhao Qian is. It should be impossible for him to be found."

Not only that, she also bribed her informants at the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple Minister hadn't made any progress yesterday, so why has the situation suddenly changed now?

Just as she was thinking, another message came.

"Your Highness, it came from the Dali Temple."

Ling Qian'er's gaze narrowed slightly. After reading the note that the Prince of Chu and Song Ruozhen had gone to the Dali Temple today and that the group had already left by carriage, she instantly understood.

"It's Song Ruozhen!"

"I know what this woman is capable of. Even Master Tianji is no match for her, but she's not much stronger than Master Tianji either. She shouldn't be able to figure it out this time!"

Ling Qian'er frowned, and although she was puzzled, she immediately gave the order.

"Silence them immediately."

When Chu Tianche came out, he saw the worry in her eyes and his heart sank. "What happened?"
