Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple had a very effective interrogation method, and in a short time, all of them confessed.

Shi Wei confessed that he also killed Ye Zhihui's maid, and finally fabricated the illusion that he had accidentally fallen and died.

The Dali Temple also conducted an autopsy on Feiyu's sister, had the medicine brought by the old doctor tested by the Imperial Hospital, and recorded the old doctor's statement.

Ultimately, all the evidence against Ye Zhihui for murdering Feiyu's sister and colluding with Han Zhiheng to assassinate the Crown Prince was irrefutable.

Chen Ning sat at the desk, still unable to extricate himself from the shock.

The case of the Crown Prince's assassination attempt had been investigated for so long, with countless resources and manpower mobilized, yet no results were found.

Now, Qin Wanying has actually discovered this matter through her fortune-telling abilities, and the evidence is conclusive.

Chen Ning couldn't help but marvel at how amazing Qin Wanying was.

I started to doubt myself again. What use were all the detective skills I had learned over the years?

He couldn't even compare to one of the girl's fingers.

Chen Ning deeply regretted his disrespect towards Qin Wanying.

She's so capable, yet I didn't even take Qin Wanying seriously when she first arrived.

From then on, whenever Qin Wanying was around, he would stand while speaking.

Le Xiuyuan and Wei Hongwen also gathered together at this time.

Being able to hear Qin Wanying's innermost thoughts was their shared secret, and since then, their relationship has grown much closer.

"Boss is amazing! He uncovered the truth about something we'd been investigating for so long without lifting a finger," Yue Xiuyuan said.

"Of course, who is that? He's our boss!" Wei Hongwen patted his chest, looking very proud.

Wei Hongwen's official rank was far lower than Le Xiuyuan's, but Le Xiuyuan didn't care about such formalities. He treated Wei Hongwen as a brother, and Wei Hongwen didn't show him any special respect.

The two increasingly felt that joining forces with Qin Wanying was the right decision.

By finding the right mentor, you can avoid many detours and even save your life!

The final verdict was decided with the Emperor's participation.

Shi Wei was sentenced to death.

Han Zhiheng was sentenced to death, but his family was spared.

Ye Zhihui should have been sentenced to death, but because she was General Ye's only bloodline, she was stripped of her title as county princess, exiled to the frontier, and enslaved for life, never to return.

Ye Zhihui was an ambitious person, and she could not accept this verdict. She committed suicide that same day.

The case of Ye Zhihui has finally come to a close.

Qin Wanying received a system notification: [Ding! Helping others' points +40. Please keep up the good work, host!]

She solved such a big case, but only gained 40 points in helping others. Before, she saved triplets, and gained 60 points in helping others.

It seems that the helping value is not determined by the size of the event.

She guessed that the triplets' help points increased because they had saved lives.

She thought to herself that she had been at the Crown Prince's residence for two days and had not yet gone home to visit her family. Fearing that her family would worry, she told the Crown Prince that she wanted to go home for dinner tonight.

The Crown Prince quickly said, "If you miss home, go home. I will send my shadow guards to protect you."

“If you want to go home, you can go back every day,” the prince said.

Qin Wanying is a girl, leaving home and not being able to see her family must be very sad, right?

He didn't want Qin Wanying to feel even the slightest bit unhappy.

It was his oversight not to invite Qin Wanying home.

"Go back for now, and come back after lunch. But in the future, it would be best to go back around lunchtime," the Crown Prince said.

He had finally gotten a chance to spend time with Qin Wanying and didn't want to miss it.

He's been too busy with government affairs lately, and his father is simply overwhelmed. Even if he were willing to give him a long vacation, it wouldn't be possible.

He has to go to the palace to handle government affairs and cannot come back for lunch, so Qin Wanying can go home for lunch if she wants.

"You must come back for dinner. I want to dine with you." When the Crown Prince said this, his eyes were like a deep pool, as if they were filled with a myriad of emotions.

Qin Wanying looked at his jade-like face and his affectionate eyes, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She looked away awkwardly.

"Yes," Qin Wanying replied softly.

Qin Wanying then went home ahead of time to deliver a message and returned.

When Qin Wanying returned home, her family was overjoyed.

Qin Wanying felt like she hadn't been gone for two days at all, but rather like she hadn't seen him for years.

Qin Xinghan clung to her leg and wouldn't let go, then started crying.

This child has always been very attached to her.

Qin Xiaoyan began to praise the cannon blueprint that Qin Wanying had obtained, saying it was truly exquisite.

Yang Xiurong prepared a large number of delicious dishes for her. At the dinner table, her family members asked her one after another how she was doing at the Crown Prince's residence and whether the Crown Prince treated her well.

"His Highness the Crown Prince treats me very well, so you can all rest assured."

“When I first arrived, Princess Ye accused me of pushing her into the water. His Highness the Crown Prince upheld justice for me and even expelled Princess Ye from the Crown Prince’s residence.”

Qin Yezhong looked surprised; he didn't know much about this matter.

All he knew was that Ye Zhihui had killed the Crown Prince's bodyguard's sister and conspired with General Han's son to assassinate the Crown Prince and then save him.

I never expected that there was such a story about Wan Ying when she was in the Crown Prince's residence.

He felt that the Crown Prince was quite protective of Wan Ying, which made him feel even more favorably toward the Crown Prince.

Yang Xiurong smiled and asked, "Wanying, has the Crown Prince given you any gifts?"

Qin Wanying said, "Yes, the little white horse I rode back was a gift from the Crown Prince."

Qin Wanyue opened her eyes slightly.

"Wan Ying, that little white horse was actually a gift from the Crown Prince?"

She was very surprised when she saw the little white horse that Wan Ying was riding. She knew horses well, and this horse was a rare find, one in a million.

She asked Wan Ying, who said she bought it at the horse market, and she didn't ask any further questions.

I never expected it was a gift from the Crown Prince.

“Father, that horse is a fine steed, and it’s also very beautiful. It’s a rare find, and I’ve never seen one before,” Qin Wanyue said.

Qin Yezhong was surprised, never expecting that the Crown Prince would send Wan Ying such a fine horse.

"Why did His Highness the Crown Prince decide to give you a horse?" Qin Yezhong asked.

"We went to the horse market together, and I've taken a liking to this horse," Qin Wanying said, taking a small spoonful of sweet fermented rice soup.

Qin Xingyuan looked slightly surprised.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is strolling through the horse market with you?"

If the Crown Prince were to travel, the procession would be quite grand, but there hasn't been any word of him traveling in the last two days.

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince disguised himself as my guard and traveled with me," Qin Wanying said casually.

The family was almost petrified on the spot.

Everyone stared at Qin Wanying with their mouths agape.

Your Highness, shall I disguise myself as your guard?

Seeing the family's reaction, Qin Wanying silently put down her spoon, feeling a little guilty.

Before she left, her father instructed her to be respectful to His Highness, but now she had inadvertently revealed that the Crown Prince was disguised as her guard.
