”Ah Fu, how's the investigation going?”

Situ Wenbo sat in the seat of honor and looked down at the man shrouded in black clothing. ”Pa!” He slammed the table and asked in a cold voice.

When the man in black heard this, his body trembled slightly, but he quickly recovered.

”Reporting to Sir, I was just about to report this matter.” As per what Princess Yao said, I drew a portrait for the brothers to search for. After a night of investigation, the woman was not someone from capital. Furthermore, the brothers had discovered the clothes and face of the woman in the suburbs. Therefore, it will be more difficult to search, and I'm afraid it will take a few more days. ”

Because of Situ Wenbo's awe-inspiring presence, the black-clothed man trembled as he reported the results of last night. After finishing his words in one breath, he stood in the lobby with his head down, not daring to even breathe.

Hearing this, Situ Wenbo knocked on the table, thinking about it day and night. It seemed that he would have to ask his little sister for help. He did not believe that there was someone that the Steel Cavalry could not find.

The night was seductive, but the chill was even stronger. It was as if a curse had been cast on the snow, filling the entire night. The night guards of the Imperial Palace hurried past every corner of the Imperial Palace to protect the people with the most noble Dongjun Kingdom.

”Brother, don't worry. I will dispatch the Armoured Cavalry right now and find the culprit to avenge Jie'er.”

Within the Magnificent Brocade Palace, the fragrance lingered as coals burned with sizzling sounds. The heat was boundless and was in stark contrast to the snow that covered the sky outside.

Situ Lan sat on top of the fox skin that was spread by the Dongjun Kingdom Queen. After listening to Situ Wenbo's narration, a trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes. The warm voice comforted him as he looked at his brother standing in front of him with an old and depressed expression on his face.

You actually dare to heavily injure a member of the Situ Family. Do you really want to die?

”This old subject thanks the Empress for her kindness. The Situ Family will never forget it.”

Seeing that his sister readily agreed, Situ Wenbo was overjoyed in his heart, and respectfully and sincerely bowed to Situ Lan. Although his sister had said that he could ignore the etiquette of a king and his subjects, the palace had many eyes and ears, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his sister.

”Brother, what are you doing? I have already said that there is no need for this between you and me. If anyone doesn't want to spread the word of my death and slander my reputation, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Situ Lan quickly helped Situ Wenbo up, and his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the court ladies in the room, and with a few cold words, he scared the palace maids and made them kneel on the ground, kneeling down and not daring to let out a single breath.

”Yes, everyone will listen to the empress.”

Situ Wenbo's heart was filled with comfort as he looked at his little sister. Since young, his little sister had always wanted to be strong. She was proud and arrogant. Since the moment he entered the palace, he had always been the empress, and had never lost against the palace's overt struggles. He had to ensure that the Crown Prince would ascend to the throne in order to live up to his sister's painstaking efforts.

”Alright, it's already late today. Big brother should return to the manor to rest. If there's any news from me, I'll let you know immediately. ”

Situ Lan rubbed his head. He had been busy preparing a birthday present for the Emperor, and he was a little tired.

Situ Wenbo could see her exhaustion. He comforted her with a few words and then left the Magnificent Brocade Palace.

After Situ Wenbo left, Situ Lan rested on the bed while being served by a palace maid.

After all the palace maids had left, she opened her eyes with a 'shua' sound, stood up and put on her cloak casually, then walked to the mural in her room. After drawing on the mural, with a 'hualala' sound, a secret passage appeared on the wall beside the mural.

”See master. This is the person you asked your subordinate to find a few days ago. ”

Situ Lan stood in front of a black-clothed man. His expression was cold and in his hands was the information that the black-clothed man had gathered.

From the day that Jie Er was injured, even if her brother hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have let the descendants of the Situ Family suffer such humiliation. It was already the portrait of that woman that had been described by Yao'er. She then had the entire Iron Cavalry Regiment search the room thoroughly. Indeed, they did not disappoint her. The results would be sent out tonight.

Gripping the information in her hands tightly, her beautiful eyes were filled with viciousness. To think that it would be her … No wonder he had such great ability.

”Bone Devourer, give this letter to Queen Ye Shishuang personally. Tell her what she wants to do to get it over with. If the time is right, she might not be a match for that person. ”

Situ Lan quickly wrote a few words on the table and passed it to the black clothed man. He thought about his sisters who were far behind him in Xi Liang, and hoped that she would be a bit more heartless and decisive. Only then would he be able to accomplish their great cause.

The man in black gave the order and disappeared. Situ Lan also walked out of the maze, and the wall instantly returned to its original state, leaving no traces behind.

It was also a dark and gloomy night. In the mountain forest behind the capital, the cold wind was like the roar of a tiger, penetrating the ears.

Inside the bamboo house, a weak candle light flickered as it stood facing the cold wind. The man wearing the eagle-shaped mask on his face released his aura and suppressed all the animals in the forest. They obediently stayed in their nests, not daring to move an inch.

”My lord, I wonder why they are looking for these women.” And since they've noticed us, and are increasingly hostile to us, are they going to continue to disturb their line of sight? ”

Leng Ming looked at the man brimming with hostility in the master's seat. He was noble and unfathomable.
