Chapter 70 Investigation in progress!
"Alas, second brother, it's not that I don't work hard, but I just don't have the motivation!"
Looking at Nangong Qiu, Su Xian felt helpless. He and her must have incompatible horoscopes, and nothing good would happen every time they met.
What's even more speechless is that this guy is my aunt.
If it were someone else, he would pick him up and give him a good beating on the butt.
People who confront the heroine and the hero in person usually don't have a good ending. No wonder she is still single now.
Unable to not save that idiot, Su Xian took a step back and asked, "Have all the suspects in the mansion been arrested?"
"Everyone in the mansion is under control and cannot leave. They are waiting for the next order from His Majesty." Nangong Qiu replied truthfully.
"I see."
Hearing this, Su Xian nodded, stopped talking to Nangong Qiu, and drove towards the palace in the carriage.
Watching Su Xian leave, Nangong Qiu returned to his post as if nothing had happened, with an upright posture like a javelin, and a cold gaze that made people feel daunted.
When Su Xian drove to the palace, he heard the news that Nangong Ling was ill, and hurried to the harem.
"Father, is Mother okay?"
Looking at Nangong Ling, whose face was haggard and pale, lying on the bed, Su Xian felt a pang of worry in his heart.
"Don't worry, your mother is just too frightened. After all, Wuji's matter..."
Emperor Xue Ye didn't have the time to settle accounts with Su Xian. His face was also filled with worry, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
"If my father trusts me, I can investigate this matter." Su Xian pondered, staring at Xue Ye meticulously.
With his eyebrows slightly raised, Emperor Xue Ye asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"I remind you that this matter cannot be delayed any longer and must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos."
Although Tiandou City and the Barak Kingdom are far apart, the transmission of news usually takes only a few days, and it may be even faster through special channels.
Truth cannot be hidden. Although he has sent people to the border, who knows what Nalan Tianqing will do!
"To be honest, I'm not sure, but I will try my best." Su Xian replied sincerely.
"Well... this is my token, you can do whatever you want."
After staring at Su Xian for a while, Emperor Xue Ye took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it over.
Now the other nobles in the city are in a panic, and since it concerns the life of the prince, no one is willing to get involved in this mess.
Nodding seriously, Su Xian took the token and took out a plant from his storage ring. "This is dragon zhi leaf. It has the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the essence. Give some to the queen mother."
"You little bastard, you always take care of your mother when you have good things!"
After glaring at Su Xian unhappily, Emperor Xue Ye carefully took the dragon zhiye with a pleased smile on his face.
"Then I'll go first."
After looking at Nangong Ling deeply, Su Xian said something to Emperor Xue Ye, then turned around and was about to leave.
"You only have three days. After three days, I will give Tiandou City an explanation."
Suddenly, the voice of Emperor Xue Ye sounded again, and he stared at Su Xian without blinking, his eyes full of expectation.
Su Xian paused slightly, nodded heavily, and took note of it in his heart.
Explain?
Kill Xue Wuji? Or find a scapegoat?
All in all, there will be bloodshed.
Alas~
Su Xian sighed inwardly and felt that the burden on him was getting heavier.
Snow Wuji Palace.
"What are you doing back here again?"
Seeing Su Xian coming back, Nangong Qiu looked stern and shouted in a deep voice.
"This matter is now entirely my responsibility. I am going in now."
Without time to argue with Nangong Ling, Su Xian showed the token to everyone and walked straight into the mansion.
"I said get out of the way, don't you understand?"
Seeing Nangong Qiu trying to stop him, Su Xian's face darkened and he glanced over with a cold and emotionless look.
Just like a glacier that has not melted for thousands of years, a bone-chilling cold wind suddenly blew over. Nangong Qiu's heart trembled, and he looked at Su Xian in surprise, feeling that he was particularly strange.
Ignoring her, Su Xian walked straight into the mansion, leaving Nangong Qiu in a daze.
The mansion was under control of soldiers inside and outside, even in the corridors there was a soldier every five steps, and the servants and maids who passed by were trembling with fear.
While roaming through Xue Wuji's small treasury, Su Xian also called an old man from the mansion over.
The old man was from their Xue family, his name was Xue Chenglin. Logically, he should call him grandpa, but their blood relationship was somewhat distant, so he was sent here to be the housekeeper.
"Your Highness, please save the Second Prince. I watched him grow up, and he definitely didn't do this."
Xue Chenglin looked sad, his old face was full of worry and sorrow. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down to Su Xian, but was stopped by Su Xian.
After some consolation, Xue Chenglin understood Su Xian's intention, and patted his chest and assured him that he would cooperate. His willingness to die looked so great that Su Xian was afraid that he would slap himself to death.
"Mr. Lin, go check these two things for me later."
Whispering into Xue Chenglin's ear, Su Xian told him what he wanted to confess.
The incident with the jade pendant was done by someone in the mansion. Even if he left the mansion, he could not leave Tiandou City which was under martial law.
There would be flaws whether he ran or not. Su Xian wanted to know the result so that he could take the next step.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what to do, old man."
Upon hearing that there was a traitor in the mansion, Xue Chenglin's face turned dark and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He quickly replied with gritted teeth.
"Well! Act secretly and don't alert the enemy." Su Xian reminded.
"The old man understands!"
"…"
Without stopping, Su Xian got on the carriage and headed towards the east of the city under Nangong Qiu's suspicious gaze.
At this moment, in a mansion with a plaque with the word "Dugu" hanging on it, an old man with white hair and an immortal look was lying on the bed, wrapped in white cloth and apparently seriously injured.
However, the old man's face was radiant and he looked extremely healthy. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't seem to care about his injuries at all.
There was also an old man standing nearby. He had a blank expression on his face, which was completely stiff. His cheeks were sunken and his green hair was messy.
The old man looks very ordinary, but only truly powerful soul masters can understand how terrifying he is.
Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo!
"Old Man Han, remember I said before that you would definitely die before me, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon."
Looking at the old man on the bed, Dugu Bo made a teasing sound, his face full of mockery.
"Ah! I'm not dead yet!"
Hearing this, the old man shouted in annoyance, but it seemed that the wound on his body was affected and he gasped in pain, but he did not cry out.
"Okay, if it hurts, just scream a few times. I won't laugh at you." Dugu Bo said jokingly with a smile, his stiff mouth corners slightly raised.
Old man:...
Call you sister!
