"Yes sir!" Seeing that Nalan Ronglang simply could not give in, the pool did not dare speak anymore. Maybe he could use other methods to repay the gratitude, such as finding a place to bury the princess's corpse …

"Oh yeah, what's going on with the Emperor?" Seeing that one of them was about to leave, Nalan Ronglang suddenly said.

One of them lowered his head and said, "The emperor has met with Geng Qing before. He seems to have asked the emperor to investigate about Imperial Concubine Wan's matter."

Nalan Ronglang's eyes lit up. Could it be … What happened to Yin Lian?

Finally hearing some good news, Nalan Ronglang's expression became a little better, "Then help Geng Qing and let him find some useful information!"

One Pool nodded his head and withdrew from the room. He knew better than anyone what the prince meant by 'useful'. This was merely a trap that had been set up for the Emperor in the first place!

Ever since he received the secret decree to secretly investigate the background of Imperial Concubine Wan, he began to secretly investigate. Things went quite smoothly, and he actually found some clues.

Even though he didn't know much about Liang Wan's name, he had heard of Liang Wan's mother. It was said that she was a witch from the Southern Frontier at that time, but after that, she had lost due to a power struggle and left the Southern Frontier.

After that, this concubine recommended a Southern Frontier caravan to Geng Qing that he knew of, saying that the people inside were more clear on the situation, he could go there and ask about it.

Layers after layers of cocoons were extracted, Geng Qing discovered that the "truth" he obtained seemed to be somewhat surprising. It was very likely that Senior Concubine Wan was a female Magus from the Southern Frontier, and there was also the possibility that only one girl was born amongst the female witches.

Geng Qing felt that the matter was getting more complicated, but it seemed like it was getting clearer.

When he thought of how he was going to meet with the Emperor today, his mood turned complicated. In the end, he didn't tell the emperor the details of his visit. He only said that it was still going on and that he had already found some information, but Imperial Concubine Wan's background wasn't too clear.

"Alright, properly investigate your beloved one. If this matter is handled well, I will definitely bestow you with a good reward!" The Nalan Jie was smiling, but his eyes were filled with a cold intent. Liang Wan, oh Liang Wan, if you lie to us, we will definitely retaliate against Nalan Rongxuan!

After Geng Qing bowed and was about to leave the great hall, he suddenly heard light footsteps from inside the hall. A lady with a light body jogged in and as she ran, the air had a hint of fragrance.

Geng Qing frowned, although he felt that the Emperor was too concerned with his beauty, he knew that there were some things he could not say, so he could only lower his head and pretend that he did not see anything.

As he was exiting the hall, he heard the emperor's slightly doting voice. "Yin Lian, come sit by my side!"

Yin Lian? Geng Qing was extremely familiar with this name. The first time he investigated her, it was because she, who was the concubine of Vice Minister Zhang's estate, had appeared frequently in a chess club that only upper-class young masters could do.

At that time, the matter regarding the Silver Moon Country was still unclear to the crown prince and the King Xuan, but because Geng Qing found out about the chess set, he even felt that there was a problem with Yin Lian's identity.

However, he did not find any evidence related to Yin Lian regarding the Silver Moon Country. He thought that he was overthinking it, but later on, he paid more attention to this woman.

However, a few days ago, he discovered that Yin Lian was no longer in the Zhang residence. He didn't expect her to be at the emperor's side!

In regards to this, Geng Qing felt that it was definitely not a coincidence. A woman with no background would never have the chance to get close to the Emperor.

He seemed to have been fooled by someone!

Quietly asking the eunuch at the side, Geng Qing realized that the one who recommended Yin Lian to enter the palace was actually Prince Rui, Nalan Ronglang!

The matter of Sixth Prince Nalan Rongyu, Vice Minister Zhang's death, and even the matter he was currently investigating, all of this had been pushed forward by the person behind the scenes.

Geng Qing was a man of his actions, and knew that there were some things that needed proof, so he quickly began to investigate. After a few days, he actually did find some clues.

However, in the past few days, he had felt that there were always people watching him. He knew that things would eventually get exposed, so he had privately arranged to meet with his best friend.

Then, he passed a written letter to his old friend. "Old Wu, if I don't come to find you in three days, you can pass this letter to King Xuan."

"Geng Qing, have you caused some trouble?" Hearing his serious tone, his old friend started to panic.

Geng Qing smiled indifferently: "Have the troubles on my body been stopped before? "Don't think too much."

That old friend nodded his head. Geng Qing was indeed a troublesome machine to make, so he frowned: "Everyone says that the King Xuan is cold towards others. How can I, a normal citizen, see it?"

"Just say that I told you to go, and he will definitely meet you!" In fact, Geng Qing had long noticed that among the two groups of people following him, one of them had been searching for clues that he had obtained, while the other group had not done anything.

It seemed like he had a hunch that there were people from the King Xuan among them. Those people seemed to have secretly protected his safety, which was why he took this risk.

Seeing Geng Qing's serious expression, his old friend quickly agreed. "Don't worry, I will definitely do it. Be careful, don't be so rash."

"I know, don't worry. I'll be promoted to the government office to make a fortune this time around." Geng Qing laughed.

In the study room, Geng Qing looked at the evidence in front of him and was in a state of disbelief. King Rui, it really was King Rui!

After writing the report overnight, before the sky brightened, Geng Qing had already started to rush towards the palace. The horses were galloping, but Geng Qing felt that his back was getting colder and colder, and the premonition was getting stronger and stronger, as if there was a pair of sinister eyes staring straight at him.

He knew that if he investigated this matter, it would definitely bring about trouble. Since Rui Wang was so patient, perhaps he might be even more ruthless than the crown prince back then, but he had to submit the paper money. Although he did not like the crown prince and did not like Nalan Rongyu, he was still a man of business.

The palace doors were already in front of him, and Geng Qing could even hear the sounds of fighting behind him. He knew that the other party had already begun to move, as long as he entered the palace, King Rui would definitely not be able to move so easily.

But Geng Qing was also unable to complete his last wish, the palace door had already slowly opened, but his body suddenly jerked, a sharp arrow pierced into his heart from behind.

Geng Qing unwillingly glanced at the half opened palace gate, then tilted his body and fell off his horse …

Not far away, a black clothed person stood against the wind, put away the crossbow in his hand, and quickly flew to Geng Qing's front. He reached out and took something from's chest, revealing a complacent smile, then turned around and left.

Geng Qing died, in front of the palace gate.
