Although Jie Li's tone was calm, everyone could hear the anger contained in his tone.
Yuan Lin smiled bitterly in his heart, but could only nod slightly. "My lord, I obey the order."
"If the case cannot be solved after three days, I will take the initiative to be punished for one year."
"I obey the decree."
Jie Li's eyes turned to Chen Yutian beside him. Thinking that Gongsun had helped him find Yuan Ping who had poisoned him, his expression softened slightly.
"Master Chen, I have received a letter from the emperor of your country here. The letter said that a suspicious case has occurred in your country and you are urgently summoned to return to the Central Plains for investigation. However, I have already made my own decision and replied to the letter claiming that you will not be able to do it until three days later. Let’s go. Master Chen, do you understand?”
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
Yuan Lin looked at him with confusion. For some reason, he felt that Chen Yutian's performance today was a bit strange.
"Does the Palace Master have anything to say?"
"No. I and others will do our best to solve the case within three days and find the three missing princesses."
"Okay, your words are enough." Jie Li smiled, "I hope that what the palace master said will come true."
"You can leave first..." After Jie Li said this, Yuan Lin and Chen Yutian left the hall together.
Soon, the news reached the ears of the eldest princess.
"Are you telling the truth?" The eldest princess looked at Huajian who brought the news with a look of surprise on her face.
"The news came from He Er, there shouldn't be any lies." Huajian said.
The eldest princess nodded slightly, obviously trusting the crane ear in Huajian's mouth. "God is really helping me. As long as these troublesome Central Plains people are gone, it is impossible for the people in Tai Palace to detect any clues."
"Having said that, Her Royal Highness the Princess has to be on guard. After all, the plan has reached a critical moment and there must be no mistakes." Huajian said.
The eldest princess nodded, then pondered for a moment and stood up, "Go and inform them not to make any moves within these three days. In addition, order He'er to always pay attention to the movements of Jiulong Mansion and my father Khan, and report them at all times."
"Understood." Huajian nodded and immediately left the palace.
The eldest princess stood at the door of the palace, and suddenly she saw an inconspicuous pigeon slowly flying in.
Seeing it, the eldest princess smiled.
At the same time, the black-robed national master Xie Ying was already standing in Jie Li's study.
He came to show Xie Li something.
Jie Li carefully read what he presented to him, put down the booklet in his hand expressionlessly, and asked Xie Ying, "Master, where did you get this?"
"Your Majesty," Xie Ying slightly arched his hand, "I actually don't know the origin of this thing. And the reason why this thing is in my hands is because someone put it outside the door of my mansion. As for who the person who sent this thing is, I don’t know.”
Jie Li nodded, still expressionless. What was recorded in the booklet was the list of Fox Clan rebels. It also recorded that the leader of the rebel party, Hu Tian, had a daughter with a woman from the Central Plains caste. The caste woman took her daughter with her on the eve of the Fox Clan rebellion being put down. Back to the Central Plains...and this daughter is Zhong Suling.
That is today's Ling Fei.
Jie Li's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.
He had just caught Yuan Ping and cleared Concubine Ling of killing the two princes. Someone then sent this information to the Imperial Preceptor's Office.
What a coincidence.
He simply deliberately wanted to send this information to himself.
Jie Li looked at Xie Ying calmly. Although his face was calm, there was indeed a vague doubt flickering deep in his eyes. This showed that what he said was true and he did not know the information. The origin of.
So, who could it be?
Jieli pondered. No matter who it is, the purpose of sending this information should be to kill Lang Yue or even Ling Fei with his own hands. But what good will this do to them?
He couldn't figure it out. Whether it was Lang Yue or Ling Fei, they lived in the inner garden of the harem all year round. It was unlikely that they would have grudges with people outside, unless... the other party was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Jie Li sneered slightly.
"Do you want to use the execution time to achieve an ulterior purpose? In that case, I would like to see what you are planning."
"This Khan already knows about this matter. If nothing happens, the Imperial Master can leave." Jieli calmly issued an order to expel Xie Ying.
"My lord, please leave." Xie Ying slowly exited the study.
Soon after he left, Jieli looked at the booklet in his hand and looked aside.
…
…
"Three days later, Lang Yue, the remnant of the Fox clan, will be executed in public!"
Not long after, an order like this came from Jie Li in the study!
This order naturally caused an uproar in the harem.
Jie Li no longer uses "Nine Princesses", but uses the four words "Remnant of the Fox Clan" and the front of the name Long Yue, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
The five princesses in the harem were also a little shocked.
On the one hand, they were frightened by their father Khan's ruthlessness; on the other hand, they were also in disbelief that Lang Yue was really a remnant of the Fox clan.
The seventh princess Lang Yun directly chose not to believe it.
However, due to the majesty of her father, she did not dare to speak even if she had objections.
Jiulong Mansion also chose silence.
Although Lang Yue is their friend, she is also Jie Li's daughter. This matter, at the most minor level, is a family matter within the wolf clan, and at the most serious level, it is only an internal matter within the Barbarian Kingdom. As people from the Central Plains, no matter what aspect they looked at, they should not get involved.
The only thing they could do was to mourn for their friend.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Taigong and Chen Yutian's investigation has not made much progress.
The clues they should grasp have long been in their hands, but the clues they currently have are not enough to support them in finding the answer to the mystery.
Yuan Lin sighed secretly.
When the third day arrived, Chen Yutian came to see him once.
But what he brought was not good news.
"I received a secret letter from the Emperor last night, asking me to wait for the Jiulong Mansion to return to the Central Plains today. Taigong, I can only rely on you for the matters here. Now we can only be helpless."
Upon hearing the news, Yuan Lin was like a head of cold water poured down on the spot.
He didn't expect Jiulong Mansion to leave in such a hurry.
But he also knew that Jiulong Mansion belonged to the Xuan Dynasty of the Central Plains after all. There is a saying that if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die. Since Emperor Xuan Chao urgently summoned them back to the court, it was naturally impossible for them to disobey.
Yuan Lin felt that he was somewhat unlucky.
Seeing that the case was about to be solved, but something like this happened, it was a bit bad no matter how you looked at it.
It seems that I have to prepare for a year of punishment.
Yuan Lin sighed and did not dwell on this matter for a long time. He was an important minister of the court, so even if he was punished for a year, it was nothing. But there was another thing that worried him at this moment. That is the execution tomorrow.
As a veteran of the current dynasty, he knew very well that the Ninth Princess was innocent, or, to use a more appropriate word, a victim.
Lang Yue is a victim.
Yuan Lin knew this very well, but he also understood that as long as it was decided by His Majesty the Khan, he would not be able to persuade him to come back.
Besides, this matter has already been decided.
But for some reason, the execution time was two days later than the previous decision.
"Alas..." With confusion and confusion, Yuan Lin let out a long sigh.
Jiulong Mansion left the palace early as Chen Yutian said.
Although it was a pity for Jie Li, there was nothing he could do about it.
After receiving the news, the eldest princess was very happy, dancing and laughing repeatedly, "Even God helps me."
The seventh princess Lang Yun was secretly saddened by the departure of Jiulong Mansion and the fate Lang Yue would face next.
Several other princesses are also looking forward to tomorrow with different moods.
In the study, Jieli looked at the palace under the sunlight outside the door and sighed slowly.
"The time is coming..."
He is also looking forward to tomorrow.
