Huai Jin had recuperated from her "illness" for many days, and because of her meritorious service of "protecting the master", Lan Ling had been specially given a reward to recuperate in the ears of the Yongan Palace.

With regards to the matter of breaking through the Tai He Bridge, the Emperor also remembered that he had not pursued the matter due to the urgent matter at that time.

"I …" I'm worried, tell me, it's been a few days. Other than this plum blossom needle, we don't have any leads at all! " "Yuwen Lie scratched his head, and finally stopped. He sighed, and sat beside Wu Yicheng. Yi Cheng, a princess like An Ping, who would want to kill her?! "

"Worms of a hundred years, not stiff even in death." Wu Yicheng took out the report that the investigators had sent over a few days ago, and pointed to the red note on it, "A few days ago, someone sent a message that the Xuanping Marquis had entered the capital secretly."

"The Marquis who has the feudal fiefdom is not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned, why would Xuanping Marquis enter the capital at this time?"

Wu Yicheng was quiet for a long time. Of the two founding generals whom he had heard a lot from his ancestors, one was in the dust today while the other was no longer awe-inspiring.

"Maybe it's because I heard that the Princess Anping fell into the water, I can't be at ease and came to take a look."

Although this reason sounded forced, but from Wu Yicheng's mouth, Yuwen Lie could not help but believe it somewhat. But only Wu Yicheng himself knew that the exact day that Xuanping Marquis entered the capital was on the second day after Huai Jin fell into the water. Even if Xuanping Marquis had immediately set off upon receiving the news, he would not have been able to make it in the next day.

"Your Highness, we don't have any leads, so we might as well think from a different angle."

"Change the angle?" Yuwen Lie was brave and outstanding, but he was still lacking a little in his scheming, so he did not understand what Wu Yicheng meant.

Wu Yicheng patiently explained: "Since we don't have any clues about the assassin, then we might as well think about who has the most motive."

Yuwen Lie also seriously listened to Wu Yicheng's analysis to him.

"After General Huai Sheng's death ten years ago, only the Princess Anping remained of the Huai Family. Although Xuanping Marquis has the heart to send the princess to the palace as a proton, he is still close to him. If something were to happen to him in the capital, Xuanping Marquis will definitely not let this matter rest … "

"That's right!" "If something were to happen to An Ping, the Xuanping Marquis and the Emperor would have a falling out and the capital would be in chaos. What I hope the most is that the person in the capital will be Bei Ling!"

Wu Yicheng nodded with satisfaction.

Just like that, the two of them accidentally stumbled a step closer to the truth.

In Yongan Palace, Lan Ling was wrapped up like a dumpling, her hands and feet could not move, and could only allow Ran Mei to feed the medicine to him one mouthful at a time.

"Sister Mei! I'm almost all right, there's no need to wrap me up like this. "

Lan Ling drank her last mouthful of medicine and raised her objections.

Ran Mei coldly snorted and ignored him.

"Sister Mei …"

Ran Mei closed the door, directly blocking the wails coming from behind him. Just as she walked out the door, she bumped into Huai Jin who was walking towards him.

"Princess." Ran Mei hastily stepped forward and bowed.

Huai Jin said indifferently, holding onto the gold dart in her hand, she looked inside the house through the door, "Take off all the things on his body."

Although Ran Mei was shocked, she still went in to remove the bandages on Lan Ling's body one by one.

With his freedom, Lan Ling jumped on the bed happily a few times, not caring if the wounds on his body had healed or not.

But in the next second, he was no longer happy, because Huai Jin was holding a gold dart in front of him.

"That …" Lan Ling unnaturally rubbed her nose, "The last time was purely an accident."

"An accident?" Huai Jin raised her eyebrows.

A few days ago, Lan Ling had not even been wrapped up like a dumpling, and at that time, she was looking at the information that Ran Mei had gathered about the various nobles in the capital.

Luckily, Ran Mei was being cautious at the side, otherwise, she would have been dead by now.

"That's right! I was afraid that you would take the opportunity to steal my treasure, so I wanted to tidy up my things to see if they were missing something. Who knows, just as I was doing that, the money dart suddenly shot out.

In terms of shamelessness, there was no one in the world who could compare to Lan Ling.

Seeing him like that, Huai Jin waved his hand, blocking the countless of words that he had thought of, and got Ran Mei to bring out a chess board and place it between the two of them.

"What are you doing, playing chess?"

Huai Jin nodded her head. She looked calm on the surface but in reality, she did not know how to play chess. Lan Ling would not either.

After the two of them sat on the Go board for a while, Huai Jin suggested to play Go.

Lan Ling had never heard of Go, so when he heard Huai Jin's suggestion, she looked at her expectantly.

"Want to play?"

Lan Ling hurriedly nodded her head.

"Since you want to play, there must be a bet."

Lan Ling suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, after a few trays, most of the treasures in Lan Ling's arms had already been plundered by Huai Jin.

But he refused to admit his defeat. It was clearly such a simple chess game, how could he not be defeated by the other party?!

"Again!"

And the result was …

Lan Ling touched her pockets and took out her last financial dart. The shining gold coin was held in Lan Ling's hand, after hesitating for a long while, she finally gave it to Huai Jin.

"Anything else?"

"It's gone, it's gone." Lan Ling shook her head, she touched her empty bag and pretended to sigh deeply, this mission second uncle had probably given the wrong person a task.

Actually, Lan Ling had wanted to escape initially that day, but after second uncle heard that she was now by Huai Jin's side, he let him continue to stay by Huai Jin's side, to find a chance to kill Huai Jin.

But Lan Ling was not willing to return to the palace. Just as they were arguing, Yun Jing's men had already arrived and they were already … Sigh, it's hard to explain in a single sentence.

Huai Jin satisfyingly received the thing, and gave it to Ran Mei. Forget about the whip that Huai Jin got from him previously, just this money dart was also extraordinary.

Ran Mei had met her before when she was training under the Xuanping Marquis, so she told her about it. The gold dart was Bei Ling's blood clan's unique secret weapon, they used real gold, but real gold was too soft, so the Lan Family refined both gold and copper together, adding a bit of Lan Family's special material, causing the gold dart to be much harder and lighter than normal, and also much sharper.

Although Lan Family had this technology, it also costed a lot of money, so she could only use it to make secret weapons like monetary darts. However, if she knew the method to refine the Lan Family alloy, it might be able to increase her smelting production, which was also the reason why Huai Jin was more interested in monetary darts than others.
