Chapter 148 She Knew He Was in Dilemma
He glanced at Prince Wenjun and his expression seemed to brighten.
Master Chu’s reaction today was not surprising.
Master Chu attached great importance to state affairs. It was true that the case panicked the
residences. It was within his expectation that Master Chu would propose to solve the case as soon as
possible.
However, the clues he found were just a fool and a dog. Would he have any breakthrough by doing
investigation on them.
Obviously, it was impossible.
After the early court ended, Yu Wenhao went back to his house first, but found that Yuan Qingling had
ordered someone to take her to Yu Wenhuai’s residence. Yu Wenhao shook his head helplessly. As
expected, his wife couldn’t rest on bed obediently.
Returning to the government office, Yu Wenhao told his subordinates the emperor’s command that they
had to solve the case within seven days.
All people in the government office were upset to find this news.
Yu Wenhao patted the table and said angrily, “Hurry up to find clues. You can find residences near by
to ask. Or search the surrounding areas to find the murder weapons.”
It was a terrible thing for the prince to get angry. Suddenly, people in the government office all hurried
up to find clues.
In the next few days, Yu Wenhao left home early but returned late.
Before Yuan Qingling could wake up, Yu Wenhao already went all side and would only come back
when she was deep in sleep.
Yuan Qingling knew that he was busy with the cases. However, she wouldn’t be of any help. She didn’t
want to cause him more trouble.
Gradually, her injuries recovered. She could start walking on the road, but was still sluggish.
She also took time to go back to lord Yuan’s mansion secretly without making a big fuss. She just went
back to see madame and prescribed medicine for her. Before anyone could find her trouble, she
already went away.
Yu Wenhuai’s residence was also peaceful recently. Ms. Lu’s investigation was powerful to scare most
people. Many people lost their jobs in the residence. Mr. Lu also expelled anyone who dared doubt her.
Yu Wenling already returned to the palace. She was lucky to got out because it would be difficult to
leave the palace once she got married.
Princess Luoping came the next day. After getting familiar with Yuan Qingling, there wasn’t any
problems between them.
After checking Prince Huai, they started talking in the hall.
Princess Luoping asked with concern, “By the way, how’s the case going on? It is already the fifth day.”
“What fifth day?” Yuan Qingling got startled and asked.
Princess Luoping asked in surprise, “Don’t you know? Father asked him to solve the cases in seven
days and today is already the fifth day.”
“I don’t know. Yu Wenhao didn’t tell me.” Yuan Qingling put down her cup saying, “He has been very
busy recently. Although we live together, I haven’t talked with him for several days.”
“It was difficult to solve big cases in seven days, especially a series of murder cases. Princess Luoping
knew about this matter for a long time.
Yuan Qingling asked, “What does this have to do with Prince Wenjun? Didn’t father ask for it?”
Princess Luoping hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, “Master Chu was very concerned
about the case. He raised it in the early court to let Yu Wenhao solve the cases in three or five days.
However, everyone could tell Master Chu simply wants to give him pressure. Prince Wenjun also
begged mercy and said he only had to solve it in seven days. Our father can only agree with their
suggestion.”
Yuan Qingling got angry and noted, “Why is this man so annoying?”
Princess Luoping showed a bitter smile, saying, “It’s lucky if he is simply annoying. I am afraid he has
other intent. Anyway, just forget about it. It’s not our turn to discuss about.”
Yuan Qingling knew that Princess Luoping’s motto was to care as less things as she could.
Princess Luoping didn’t like to say offending or biased words. What she just said meant she really NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
disliked Prince Luoping.
Ms. Lu was not interested in the cases, but things happened in the Ji Residence.
She put up her teacup and asked, “Do you know that princess Ji is sick? I have heard that they asked
for doctors during the night time yesterday.”
Princess Luoping remarked, “I have heard of it, but I don’t know what kind of disease she carries.”
Ms. Ly remarked coldly, “I am afraid her disease is serious because the doctors are gathered together
to the palace late at night.”
Yuan Qingling felt disgusted towards what Prince Wenjun and his wife were doing. Therefore, she
didn’t start from the doctor’s perspective but remarked calmly, “That’s not our business!”
Ms. Lu looked at her and said, “If she begs you for treatment, will you agree with her?”
Yuan Qingling smiled and replied, “She won’t beg for me.”
“It is hard to say. That person is really faceless.” Ms. Lu remarked.
Princess Luoping also looked at her curiously and asked, “Why if she will?”
Yuan Qingling thought for a while and replied, “I am not willing to.”
Prince Wenjun once tried to kill Yu Wenhao and almost killed him on the last assassination.
Princess Ji was not innocent. She was even more vicious than her husband. Otherwise, she wouldn’t
mislead him to make him stop treatment.
Days would go well if that couple didn’t cause trouble.
Yuan Qingling came home in the afternoon to wait for Yu Wenhao.
She was exhausted in the last few nights and would fall asleep during her wait. She decided that she
wouldn’t go to sleep this time until Yu Wenhao came back.
However, Yu Wenhao didn’t come home tonight.
He didn’t make any progress on the cases. He had carried lots of investigation but he didn’t even know
how many murderers there were.
He also couldn’t find any clue on the murder weapons.
He even posted some papers to award for people who had spotted murder weapons such as choppers
or others to send them to the government office.
He gathered many knives these days but none of them was the right one. The residences were only
trying to get the reward by sending the knives here.
Yu Wenhao got really anxious these days. He didn’t want to go back home because he was afraid that
he couldn’t constrain his anger and shouted in the house.
Yuan Qingling waited until it was late at night, but Yu Wenhao still didn’t come back.
She got up and went outside with her feet slightly hurt.
Lu Ya was keep guarding outside. She hurriedly came when seeing Yuan Qingling went out, asking,
“Princess, why don’t you go to sleep?”
Yuan Qingling replied, “Haven’t the prince come back?”
Lu Yap relied, “Xu Yi just came and told me the prince decided to spend the night in the government
office. I thought you fell asleep and didn’t go to your room to interrupt you.”
Yuan Qingling sighed, “He didn’t have a good rest these days. I am afraid he can’t go to sleep tonight in
the government office.”
“The prince is busy with work. He can’t have any solution. Princess, just go to sleep now.” Lu Ya tried to
convince her.
Yuan Qingling slowly went back to her room and found she was not sleepy at all.
It would be the sixth day tomorrow. There would only be two days left. Could Yu Wenhao solve the
cases on time?
Yuan Qingling thought for a while and called Lu Ya here, saying, “Prepare the wagon for me. I have to
go to the government office.”
“Princess, what are you planning to do?” Lu Ya was startled and asked.
“I don’t know. I just want to stay by his side.” Yuan Qinglign changed a new set of clothes. It was cold at
night and she put on an extra cloak.
Lu Ya still tried to convince her, saying, “Princess, you haven’t fully recovered…”
Yuan Qingling already went outside and remarked, “Cut the crap. Just prepare the wagon for me.”
Lu Ya could only run outside to wake up the carter. Then they led the wagon outside to wait for the
princess.
People from Jingzhao Department were all clueless tonight.
Tang Yang also came for help. However, he didn’t know where to start with because there was only a
little information.
It would be fine if they couldn’t solve the case on time. However, they still didn’t find any clue. How
could they tell the emperor on the deadline day? Could they tell him in honesty that they still didn’t
make any progress?
Yu Wenhao didn’t get angry at his subordinates because he knew it was a tough case to handle with.
