Chapter 1165 Finding a Clue

She didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose. Moreover, since the whereabouts of the venom were still unclear, no one could guarantee what terrifying things might happen next.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, she had to know all the places where the venom had spread and destroy it one by one.

"Okay, no matter what you want to do, I'll be with you." Bradley knew Freya's character. On the surface, she seemed indifferent to everything, but deep down, she was kinder than anyone else.

She cared about the safety of the whole world. So no matter how bitter or tired it was, she would charge forward on the thorny path to give everyone a peaceful and happy life.

...

It was night.

The entire royal palace was so quiet that a needle dropping could be heard.

After coming out of the nursery, Freya couldn't hide the tiredness on her face. As soon as she entered the bedroom, a pair of hands emerged from behind and hugged her tightly.

"Has Xin Yao fallen asleep?" A magnetic and low male voice sounded beside her ear.

Freya hummed in agreement. "She fell asleep after drinking milk. She's always been very obedient."

Sometimes Freya thought that Xin Yao must be a little angel sent by God. Otherwise, how could she be so easy to raise, so healing and obedient?

Bradley carried her back to the bed and said, "You're tired too. Close your eyes, don't think about anything, and have a good sleep."

Freya agreed on the surface, but her mind was extremely clear, constantly thinking about how to make the Lady talk.

Until she heard the even breathing beside her, she carefully removed the man's hand and slowly got up from the bed.

With her toes touching the ground, she tiptoed to open the door and went to the study. She took out a necklace from the cabinet of the desk.

This was found on the Lady.

It was the decorative item with the hidden mechanism for the venom.

Freya opened the mechanism, and the water-drop pendant popped up. The remaining venom inside had long been taken out, and the whole necklace had undergone high-intensity sterilization and disinfection. So there was no danger in holding it.

The water-drop pendant was made of top-quality jade. Judging by its luster, it should be of great value.

Freya held the pendant and examined it carefully under the light. Suddenly, her pupils shrank slightly.

There seemed to be some characters engraved on the pendant.

Freya got up and turned on all the lights in the study, squinting her eyes to look at the characters on it.

Jia... Jia...

Jiajia?

Freya stared at it intently. Besides these two characters, there was also a line of the person's birth date and hour.

This discovery made her excited, but at the same time, it also made her fall into deep thought.

Who on earth was this Jiajia?

Freya had a vague feeling that as long as she found this Jiajia, it might become a means to control the Lady.

While she was deep in thought, a familiar smell wafted from behind, and then a huge shadow enveloped her from above. Freya was so frightened that she let out a cry and jumped up from the chair.

The next second, she fell into a broad and warm embrace.

When she realized who it was, she said angrily, "Husband, why didn't you make any sound when you walked?"

Bradley looked at her pouting and accusing expression and shook his head helplessly. "You were so lost in thought that you didn't notice. I reminded you several times."

"Really?"

Freya blinked suspiciously.

Although she was completely relaxed and on guard in her own home, she couldn't have failed to notice any slight movement.

So, this man was clearly coaxing her.

"What are you doing in the study in the middle of the night?" Bradley bypassed the topic and his gaze fell on the necklace in Freya's hand.

Freya handed the necklace to him, her eyes shining with excitement. "Look, what's engraved on this necklace?"

Bradley took it and examined it carefully.

When Patrick had given him the necklace, he had studied it but hadn't found the characters on it.

Unexpectedly, there were actually a name and the birth date and hour engraved on the pendant.

"I think as long as we find out the identity of this Jiajia, we can definitely make the Lady confess everything voluntarily." If it wasn't something important, the Lady wouldn't have carried it with her and used it to hold the venom.

Bradley also thought it was very strange. After nodding, he called Blue Book and asked him to investigate this matter immediately.

As dawn was approaching, Blue Book sent a message.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of all the people named Jiajia who were born on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month. Please take a look." Blue Book handed a piece of information to Bradley.

The name Jiajia was very common, but there weren't many people with the same name and the same birth date.

Freya glanced at the list. There were a total of fifty people named Jiajia.

However, her gaze fell on the name Wei Jiajia in the middle.

Thinking carefully, the Lady's real name seemed to be Wei Ningxuan. The Lady was just her honorific title. Everyone had been calling her "Lady" out of politeness, and over time, everyone had forgotten her real name.

Among the fifty Jiajia, only one person had the surname Wei. This made Freya wonder if there was some hidden relationship between Wei Jiajia and the Lady.

"Bradley, focus on investigating this Wei Jiajia. I want to know all about her background."

Upon hearing this, Bradley immediately asked Blue Book to handle this matter.

After Blue Book left, Bradley voiced his doubts. "Did you find something?"

Freya always followed principles when doing things. She wouldn't easily investigate someone without evidence. Therefore, he guessed that Freya must have some plan in mind.

"I suspect that this Jiajia might be the Lady's illegitimate daughter who was left outside." Freya made a bold guess.

Her master had said that the Lady was never a person who could stay in peace. Over the years, the Lady had kept countless men. Since there had been relationships, there was a possibility that she might have had children.

Moreover, the Lady had disappeared for a year, and no one knew what had happened to her during that year. But Freya remembered that when she saw the Lady at that time, not only was the Lady's face haggard, but she was also obviously plump.

If the Lady had gone to have a baby during the year she was missing, then everything could fit together.

Upon hearing this, Bradley's eyes showed a look of shock.

Freya knew that it was hard to convince people with what she said. Of course, it was just a guess, and everything would be determined only after Blue Book found some clues through the investigation.

"There are some things I still need to ask my master clearly. After all, the Lady is my master's cousin, and my master knows everything about her much better than we do."

After saying that, Freya took out her phone and called Queen Sally.

At this moment, in the Royal Palace of St. Rock.

Queen Sally was awakened from her sleep.

She reached out and grabbed the phone. Freya's anxious voice came from the other end of the line. "Master, you said before that the Lady disappeared for a year. Do you have any clues about what she experienced during that year?"

Queen Sally said drowsily, "Why are you asking these things when you're not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
