"So that's how it is. That's why you slept until late in the morning."

"So late?" Surprised, Gu Daiyan got off the bed and pushed the person in front of her away. As expected, the sun was shining brightly outside the door.

This was completely out of her expectations.

When she hadn't taken the medicine, her heart had been aching, but now that she had taken the medicine, she didn't think it would affect her in any way. Thinking about this, he could not help but let his imagination run wild.

Today was a day at Prince Jing's estate, but when he woke up in the future, he would not know where he was or whether he was safe.

A warm palm pressed between her eyebrows. "Rise and have some food."

"No need, I've already sent people to prepare medicinal food at the inn." Gu Liuyan casually waved his hand, but before he even got up, the door was gently pushed open, and the anxious voices of the servants could be heard: "Your Highness, Your Highness! Last night, there was an accident at the inn. Sir Ezekiel had died in his room, and now the magistrate court was thoroughly investigating the matter! The Emperor invites you to enter the palace. "

"Right away."

"I'll go back to the inn first."

Both of them spoke up at the same time.

Gu Danyan glanced at each other before quickly getting up. He changed his clothes and headed for the inn, while Duan Cheng Xuan immediately headed for the Imperial Palace.

On the other hand, the Elder Ai Si seemed to be one of the princes that Ai Yan cared more about. If something were to happen in Navy Tide, it was unknown if Ai Yan would be able to handle it, or if Ai Yan would retaliate.

But no matter what, this was not a good thing for Navy Tide.

This was already the second son of Ai Yan had lost in Navy Tide.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of the inn and since it was already heavily guarded, the silver armored men surrounded the inn so that not even a drop of water could leak out. When Gu Danyan got off the carriage, a high-ranking officer came over and asked coldly: "Why isn't Your Highness at the inn yesterday? Walking in the middle of the night, I even sent someone to the magistrate court to report the case. "

Many soldiers turned to look at Zhang Xuan. They couldn't help but think that the matter was too coincidental.

"Yesterday, you spoke a few words to my master, Lord Ai, in front of the gate and formed an enmity with him." Envoy Jiang Yan looked over with bloodshot eyes, his fingertips almost touching the tip of Gu Daiyan's nose.

"These words are very interesting." The corners of Gu Danyan's lips curled up. He raised his hand and grabbed the envoy's wrist. He then took a step forward and said with a cold look in his eyes, "If I want to kill your master, do I still need to shoot secretly?"

"What do you mean by that!"

"In other words, if you don't want your young master to throw away his life for nothing, then bring the corpse out and have the coroner examine it. If I am the one who did this, then this life of mine will be yours, Jiang Yan." As she shook off the man's wrist, Gu Poyan looked at the Navy Tide soldier and asked, "Would sire be able to call the coroner from the justice courts to examine the corpse?"

"My lord's corpse cannot be desecrated!" Jiang Yan cried out once again.

Gu Liuyan frowned and became even more confused: "If we don't examine the corpse, how would you know how and when Lord Ai passed away?"

However, no matter what Gu Daiyan said, these envoys were unwilling to hand over Ai Hui's corpse.

However, no matter what reason the Aiyan Family had died, they had to ensure that the corpse remained intact. They never allowed the coroner to come close to them, and they were never allowed to remove anything, not even a strand of hair. It was as if they believed in a way to revive their dead.

As a result, the matter came to a standstill and was difficult to resolve.

Gu Danyan did not care. Since this matter was not something he had done himself, he naturally did not fear the shadow and casually found a stone table and chair in the courtyard to sit on. He held a medical book that He Xiao had brought over and studied it, wondering if the phoenix gall and Yu Long Xue were of any use to him.

Emissary Jiang Yan could only urge them to thoroughly investigate this matter and absolutely not let Gu Danyan off. The few generals also knew that they were on good terms with each other and couldn't really offend the princess. They could only keep going back and forth, and their voices gradually grew louder as well.

Gu Liuyan finally had to turn his head: "This is giving me a headache. If I don't hand over the corpse, there's no way to investigate this case. Why don't we just drop it, lest you hurt our relationship."

When he said this, the expressions of the several Jiang Yan envoys all changed. They had never been angered by anyone in Jiang Yan, and now that they saw Gu Liuyan speak coldly, they immediately opened their mouths: "My lord's body is completely unscathed! "You must have been poisoned to death. Besides, Lord Ai Hui bullied you before. You want to take it back from him?"

Bullying?

Gu Liuyan's expression immediately changed, he stood up and slapped the table: "Since you think so, I think that this Ai Hui's brain is extremely compatible with Jiang Yan's city gate!"

Before anyone could react, Gu Danyan had already walked to the door of the inn and ordered: "Bring Ai Hui's corpse down, and then call the coroner from the justice courts. This princess will examine the corpse at the door today. If I didn't kill this person, then your head and a city won't be too weak for me to handle."

The soldiers of Er Dan had always been led by Gu Liuyan. At this moment, half of the soldiers were guarding the body, while the other half, disregarding the face of Jiang Yan and the envoy, brought down the corpse of Ai Huang from upstairs. The two coroners of the justice courts had also arrived.

"Since you've insulted me, Jiang Yan, today, I'll …"

"I'm afraid you don't have this life." A few parts of his meridians had been cut open to let out blood, but there was not the slightest trace of blood on the wound. He must have been killed last night, and the murderer had even cleaned him up before changing him into a clean set of clothes: "You did not investigate the corpse, so you swore that I did it, so this life should be given to me."

"Impossible, then why didn't you return to the inn last night?" Envoy Jiang Yan still didn't believe him.

"Last night, the princess stayed at my prince's mansion to visit her son."

Ignoring the shocked gazes that surrounded him, he walked over to Gu Meiyan's side and said, "She's the stepmother of the young prince. If it wasn't for the fact that she had no choice but to stay at the inn to avoid suspicion, I would have sent someone to take her back to the mansion when I saw the bloodstains last night. Does this lord still have any doubts?"

"There's no need to mention it." Gu Liuyan said softly and glared at him.

Seeing how similar her face was to that of Crown Princess Jing and how she was cut off from the Jing King, it didn't make sense to anyone.

This small sound allowed many of the soldiers to hear it clearly. Those who knew pretended not to know it, while those who did not know looked at each other in dismay. For a moment, they felt that something was amiss.

Gu Liuyan still wanted to personally examine the corpse, but Duan Chengxuan held her wrist and said, "This matter is peculiar, leave it to others. Qing Qing has left school and is still waiting for you to return to have a meal together. Don't delay."

"Alright, you still have to deal with this mess, but don't forget the head I want as well. If Jiang Yan doesn't allow it, then I'll go back and tell my father." Gu Mingyan turned to look at the envoy from Jiang Yan and lightly patted Duan Chenxuan's shoulder. "The culprit might not be found."

Duan Chengxuan understood that Gu Qing Yan probably already knew who the culprit was.
