What on earth kind of useless people had he raised? With so many of them, they still couldn't catch a few thieves.

The guard was so scared that he knelt down and pleaded guilty. "We deserve to die. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."

Yelü Qi knew that blaming these guards now would be of no use.

There had been continuous troubles in the palace for the past two nights. There must be someone playing tricks in the dark.

As for who it was, he must find out personally.

"Investigate the cause of the fire thoroughly. Also, find out the identities of the people who broke into the DNA room tonight!"

The guard said timidly, "I'll do it right away."

Just as he was about to leave, Yelü Qi suddenly stopped him. "Wait. What are Your Majesty of Solterra and the Queen of Solterra doing at this moment?"

The guard was a bit confused when he heard this. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. Most people, except those here, were probably sleeping, right?

"Go and investigate their whereabouts immediately. I want to know where they've been tonight."

"Yes."

The guard didn't dare to say anything more and quickly left.

On the other side.

Freya and Bradley had safely returned to their room.

After changing their clothes, they asked Blue Book to deal with them immediately.

After all, with Yelü Qi's suspicious nature, he would probably suspect them soon.

"What was that explosion just now?" Freya still hadn't recovered from it. They clearly couldn't escape, and then suddenly there was a fire in the palace.

Bradley changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed, facing her sideways. "I asked Blue Book to do it."

After finalizing the plan with Freya, Bradley always felt that something was wrong, so he asked Blue Book to act according to the situation to buy them time to escape.

Freya's eyes lit up, and she praised him without hesitation. "Husband, you're so amazing. But I'm really curious. Whose bedroom did Blue Book set on fire?"

The scene was too chaotic just now, and they were in a hurry to leave, so they didn't pay attention to where the fire was.

Bradley motioned for her to lie down and then said, "Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom."

"What?"

Freya had just lain down, but when she heard this, she immediately sat up from the bed.

Among the Yelü royal family, although there were many siblings in Yelü Qi's generation, Yelü Qi himself had few children.

Excluding Yelü Mingshuo, who was adopted, there was only Xingyue, his daughter.

Now that Bradley had someone set fire to Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom, and the commotion outside was so big, the fire must have been quite fierce.

If anything happened to this "brother-sister couple", Yelü Qi would really be left without offspring.

"This matter has really blown up tonight!"

Freya couldn't help but feel worried about the future of the Yelü royal family.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Blue Book's voice came in. "Your Majesty, the fire has been put out. Prince Yelü Mingshuo and Princess Xingyue have been rescued."

"I see. Go back and rest."

"Yes."

The door soon fell silent.

Bradley stretched out his long arm and pulled Freya into his arms. "Go to sleep. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful later."

Everyone had gone to the scene of the fire, but the two of them hadn't gone out. Coupled with the fact that they had slept in the suite in the southwest direction last night, Yelü Qi's first suspects would surely be the two of them.

If he wasn't wrong, Yelü Qi would soon send someone to investigate their whereabouts.

Freya nestled in the man's arms, her eyes wide open, clearly not feeling sleepy at all.

"Although we escaped, we didn't manage to steal the DNA samples." She sighed and continued, "After tonight, Yelü Qi will definitely strengthen the security. It will be even more difficult for us to sneak in again."

Although she had expected that the chance of success was slim.

But she was just unwilling and wanted to give it a try. In the end, it ended in a complete failure.

Bradley stroked her hair and soothed her. "Don't worry. I've also found something else. Maybe we can start from there."

"What did you find?"

Freya was so excited that she was about to get up again, but the man held her tightly in his arms.

"Previously, I investigated through the forces of the Dark Web. Your biological father has a birthmark on his chest. As long as we find out who has this symbolic mark, we can determine his identity."

Bradley thought for a while and decided to tell Freya this clue to prevent her from being disappointed because of the failure of tonight's plan.

However, he still kept the identity of the person he suspected to himself.

Freya was still a bit surprised when she heard this. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Even if we have this clue, it's not easy to act on it."

The man smiled mysteriously. "When everyone takes a bath together, it won't be difficult to find out if there are any marks on their bodies."

He had already thought of a way. He would find an opportunity to ask Yelü Qi to arrange a hot spring bath, and then he could investigate the characteristics of each person one by one.

This way, they wouldn't waste too much time.

Freya gave the man a thumbs-up and said, "Husband, I find that you're not only handsome, but also have first-class strategies. Why didn't I notice before that you could be so cunning?"

Was this a compliment or a criticism?

Why did Bradley feel a bit strange about it!

"However, for now, we have to figure out how to deal with Yelü Qi's investigation. After all, you had someone set fire to his son's bedroom."

Fortunately, Yelü Mingshuo and Princess Xingyue were safe. Otherwise, the entire Yelü royal palace would surely be in chaos, and they wouldn't have the face to stay here either.

"We were sleeping. What can he, Yelü Qi, say?"

...

As expected, the people sent by Yelü Qi soon arrived.

After confirming that the two of them were in the room, the guards exchanged glances. One of them asked tentatively, "There was a fire in Prince Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom tonight, and everyone went out to watch. His Majesty didn't see Your Majesty of Solterra and the Queen of Solterra, so he sent me to check on the situation. Since you two are sleeping, we won't disturb you."

Bradley looked at Freya and the corner of his mouth curved into a fox-like smile.

Were they here to check on the situation?

Or to determine their suspicion?

Bradley had always been cautious in his actions. Before taking action tonight, he had already made all the arrangements. He had asked Blue Book to destroy all the surveillance cameras and had deliberately left some clues during the day to mislead people. No matter how Yelü Qi investigated, he couldn't find any trace of their whereabouts.

He gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Go back and tell the king that my wife isn't feeling well, and I have to stay here with her, so we won't go out and join in the commotion."

Hearing this, the guards dispersed one after another.

They reported to Yelü Qi immediately. When Yelü Qi heard this reason, he was so angry that he slammed the table. "What a Leonard! What wife isn't feeling well? He's clearly guilty as charged!"

Just now, the doctor had sent a message saying that Yelü Mingshuo and Xingyue had inhaled too much smoke. If it had been one minute later, the two of them would have surely died.

His children had been harmed like this, but he couldn't find any clues to convict the culprit.

Yelü Qi was so angry that the veins between his eyebrows were throbbing. He punched the tea table.
