The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 245. The Evidence Is Here
The room that was right next door had long since been empty when Lu Jing Yu and the others came out. Lu Jing Yu ate even though it was just a few mouthfuls. Chu Fei and Guards Lin were in charge of finishing their meals. If the food they ordered was still a lot left, they might be suspicious if they did something in the room because they forbade the servants from entering without orders.
By the time he came out of the room, Lu Jing Yu had managed to restore her composure. The arrogant and haughty expression typical of the spoiled young noble lady had been successfully restored. With a haughty expression, Lu Jing Yu walked out of the room and down the stairs. Behind him, Chu Fei was no less haughty. Of the three, only bodyguard Lin did not show a haughty face at the time of looking at everyone. But his expression was an untouchable cold. The man walked in the back. He also paid rent and food to waiters at the cashier's desk when they left the restaurant.
"Your Majesty, what else are we going to do now?" Chu Fei asked as soon as they walked out of the restaurant.
"We're back at the palace first. It's almost afternoon. It's not good to leave Hui'er for too long."
"Your Majesty is right. His Highness the Crown Prince will also be coming home soon. That way it'll be easier to report everything." Chu Fei nodded in agreement. He walked behind Lu Jing Yu who was walking towards the alley where their carriage was parked in an inn.
"Servant Lin, did you recognize everyone in the room earlier?" Lu Jing Yu glanced at the Lin Guards who were walking the very back.
"Yes Your Majesty. Although the servant did not know the whole thing because of their not-so-clear voice, the servant could recognize most of them." Answer Lin's bodyguard.
"That's great. The work will be lighter with that. Then for the rest, it can still be checked again after Your Majesty finds out." Lu Jing Yu nodded in satisfaction before she boarded the carriage assisted by Chu Fei.
While Lu Jing Yu was carrying out her mission, Pei Zhang Xi was also on about the same mission. But Pei Zhang Xi got more proof from his meeting this time.
Currently, Pei Zhang Xi was inside a tea shop by the roadside. Together with a middle-aged man who has a very mysterious appearance. A large hood covered his entire face until not a single part of his face was visible. But judging from the fabric of his clothes, he was clearly not from ordinary people.
Out of nowhere and how the man got all the evidence he gave Pei Zhang Xi, all the evidence was complete and accurate. Accompanied by the names of witnesses who can be sought.
But giving all those items away so easily to Pei Zhang Xi without the slightest reward was extremely suspicious. Pei Zhang Xi looked at all the evidence on the table in surprise.
"Why did you give me all this?" Pei Zhang Xi sipped his tea as he asked.
"That's easy. Because I don't like their reckless behavior. Those who use power to oppress the little people should be eradicated." The man replied casually even though his sentence was actually quite cruel.
"Er... Alright. But why did you give it to me? I am also not a person who has no position. What if I use all of this for my own personal benefit?" Pei Zhang Xi's lips twitched at the man's words. Then, Pei Zhang Xi was still unable to determine whether this person was really on his side or the other party, he intended to search for information once more.
"That's impossible. I've been watching everything for a long time and know who's playing dirty and who's not."
"mmmmmmm. Aren't you overconfident in your unilateral judgment? Everyone's nature changes all the time. Aren't you scared if I turn out not to be what you think I am?"
"Everyone's nature can change. But a person's character will never." The man answered confidently. Silenced Pei Zhang Xi so he was speechless.
"alright. I'll just think of it that way. Since master has entrusted all of this to me, I will try my best to use it well." Pei Zhang Xi finally gave up on testing the man. After all, the man did not put him in a loss and even gave him a lot of benefits.
After reaching the agreement, the two men were silent. Soluble in their minds.
The silence between the two men broke as Mo Han walked into the room and whispered a few sentences in Pei Zhang Xi's ear which made the man's expression change.
Pei Zhang Xi could not possibly leave Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhi Hui who were his most precious treasures unattended just like that. But since he found out if his wife did not like anything excessive, he could only order a few trained bodyguards to follow them from afar and immediately report if there was anything strange.
"Then where is the current Crown Princess?"
"Your Majesty went inside the clothing store when they reported." Answer Mo Han. But Mo Han's face clearly showed that there was still something in his heart that he wanted to say.
"What's wrong?" Pei Zhang Xi noticed Mo Han's change in face and asked.
"It... Your Majesty, the Crown Princess seems to be doing something strange." Mo Han replied somewhat doubtfully.
"Any?" Pei Zhang Xi furrowed his brows.
"Yes Your Majesty. Before, the Crown Princess looked like she wanted to go shopping. But after a while, the Crown Princess did not even go to a shop but instead went to a small alley with her servant and Lin's bodyguard. In that small alley, Lin's bodyguards even had a chance to kneel before they seemed to be talking about something seriously." Mo Han explained as reported by his men.
"Didn't they hear what the Crown Princess said to them?" Pei Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows. His men are well trained and can easily eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Especially if they are in an alley.
"Unfortunately not Your Majesty. It seems like Her Highness the Crown Princess deliberately chose a place that did not give others a chance to eavesdrop." Pei Zhang Xi's sharp eyebrows fused even more. Is it possible that his wife is capable of such a feat?
"I understand. Ask them to follow the Crown Princess and report periodically on what she's doing and where she's been."
"Your Majesty." Mo Han nodded obediently before he returned to the quarters from the room.
Pei Zhang Xi refocused his attention on the man in front of him who looked relaxed with his tea. Pei Zhang Xi did not know if in fact the man heard all of his exchanges with Mo Han clearly although in fact the two people did so with him carefully as they used a very loud voice weaklings.
"Sorry sir. Since there seems to be nothing more we will talk about, I beg you to leave first." Pei Zhang Xi immediately stored all the items on the table before standing up.
"Please Your Majesty." The man also stood up and paid his respects. Staring carefully at the items that Pei Zhang Xi had brought until Pei Zhang Xi disappeared behind the shop door.
"Hey old man! Today let's just say I've paid your buds in the past to me. I can only help your grandson get here. The rest depends on his ability and luck." The old man muttered somehow speaking to whom as his eyes looked at the vast sky that was visible from within the tavern.
