"Enough!"

Yelü Qi was so angry that his face turned dark. "Instead of worrying about these things, you'd better spend more time taking care of Mingshuo and Xingyue. The two children are still lying in bed suffering. You can spend more time talking to them. As for state affairs, don't interfere anymore. I know what I'm doing!"

"As for An, don't provoke him. It was not easy for me to invite him back to treat Mingshuo. If you drive him away in a fit of anger, the backer of your life will be ruined."

After throwing down these words, Yelü Qi stood up, snorted coldly, and left.

No matter why the investigators from Huaguo didn't pursue Freya's responsibility, he had to go and ask them clearly in person.

The queen watched his receding back and clenched her fists resentfully.

Who was Yelü An? He was just a useless person who had been removed from the Yelü royal family. Why should she give him any face?

Now he was actually siding with Freya and Leonard and even yelling at her in front of Yelü Qi. The queen really couldn't swallow this anger.

If she found an opportunity, she would definitely not let Yelü An off easily.

...

In Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom.

The maid had just come to feed the medicine and left. Suddenly, a dark figure flashed by outside and appeared in front of Yelü Mingshuo's bed without anyone noticing.

Yelü Mingshuo, who was just about to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the person standing in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise.

"It's me." The other person spoke and motioned for him not to make a sound.

Although the two of them had already formed an alliance, being broken into by someone in the middle of the night would scare anyone.

Yelü Mingshuo stabilized his emotions and said in a slightly trembling voice, "What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing?"

The other person's voice was empty, cold, and sharp. He came and sat on the sofa and started making tea on his own.

Soon, the fragrance of tea filled the large room.

He turned his back to Yelü Mingshuo, held the tea cup, and took a sip. "Did the thing I asked you to do fail?"

Yelü Mingshuo had expected that the other person would come to hold him accountable, but why was he so well-informed and knew about it so quickly?

What on earth was the identity of the person in front of him?

"I've done as you said. I bribed the doctors to deal with Freya. Who knew that the investigators from Huaguo wouldn't pursue it? There's nothing I can do about it." Yelü Mingshuo couldn't accept this result either.

Logically speaking, they should have held Freya accountable, but they actually let her go so easily.

"If I'm not wrong, this investigator must have reached some kind of agreement with Leonard. Since that's the case, you should find a way to create a conflict between the two sides and make them lose trust in each other. Then look for another opportunity to take action."

The other person exerted a little more force with his fingers, and the tea cup shattered. With a clatter, the fragments fell to the ground.

Yelü Mingshuo said with great difficulty, "Look at my current situation. It's very inconvenient for me to move around. There are some things you can do yourself."

"If I could do it myself, why would I cooperate with you?"

Obviously dissatisfied with his words, the man in black suddenly stood up from the sofa, his voice full of indifference.

That powerful aura made Yelü Mingshuo shiver.

"If you don't have the intention to cooperate, our previous agreement will be void."

After throwing down these words, the other person turned to leave.

Yelü Mingshuo secretly thought something was wrong and quickly called out to him, "Since I've agreed to cooperate, I'll follow your instructions."

The man in black stopped in his tracks, the corner of his mouth curling up into a cold arc. Then his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the night.

...

Here, Yelü Qi went to find the investigator to ask about the situation, but the other person avoided seeing him, saying that he had already gone to bed.

Yelü Qi was turned away and left dejectedly.

When Blue Book came to report, Bradley and Freya hadn't fallen asleep yet.

"I guess King Yelü is dissatisfied that the investigator let Her Highness off. That's why he came to the door in the middle of the night, hoping that the investigator would redefine Mr. Ouyang's death."

Bradley sneered coldly. "Mr. Su seems to be a person with great depth of thought. He wants to use us to help him find the truth, so he won't be easily persuaded by Yelü Qi. I'm afraid Yelü Qi will have to take the blame this time."

Although they were used by Mr. Su, at least Freya was protected.

As for Mr. Ouyang's death, it was already within the scope of their investigation. So, this cooperation was, in a way, a favor.

"Blue Book, keep an eye on Mr. Su recently. I'm worried that Freya's getting out of trouble will make those people desperate, and they will soon come up with a new plan to frame Freya."

Blue Book nodded and said, "I understand, Your Majesty."

After Blue Book left, Freya said, "I think that since Mr. Su is on our side this time, those people will surely suspect that you, Leonard, used some means to win over Mr. Su. If I'm not wrong, they will focus on this relationship and try to sow discord between us so that they can take action against us."

Just now, she had been quietly listening to Bradley and Blue Book's conversation, but she had carefully analyzed the pros and cons in her mind and finally came to this conclusion.

This time, she had escaped. If those people were smart enough, they definitely wouldn't use such a stupid method to target her again.

On the contrary, using Mr. Su to deal with her and thus causing a dispute between Solterra and Huaguo, wouldn't this two-pronged plan be more perfect?

"You're right. So, we need to be more careful in the future to avoid falling into the enemy's evil plot."

Bradley had also considered this. Now everyone in the Yelü Palace was in a state of fear. The country of Z wouldn't be at peace until the murderer was found.

The entire palace was shrouded in a thick layer of haze.

Even during the day, the weather was overcast and foggy.

Early in the morning, Bradley went to talk to Yelü An about something. Freya, wanting to solve the case as soon as possible, went to the mortuary and planned to re-examine the bodies of the secretary and Mr. Ouyang.

She always felt that the deaths of the two of them were not simple, and there might be an earth-shattering conspiracy behind it.

Since the case hadn't been solved yet, the bodies of the secretary and Mr. Ouyang were placed in ice coffins.

Freya dressed up as a duty doctor and secretly sneaked in.

After closing the door, Freya approached carefully.

She opened the ice coffin and examined the secretary's body carefully. Before, Bradley had made a bold guess that the secretary and Mr. Ouyang might have been poisoned on their way to Country Z, but the toxicity was hidden in their bodies and only manifested on the day of the bath.

Freya had also taken Mr. Ouyang's blood for testing, but she couldn't determine the residual time of the toxicity. Moreover, this kind of poison was very special, and she couldn't figure out what kind of poison it was at all.

So, the investigation was very difficult.

The body was clean, and there were no needle holes or other wounds found.

She had also carefully investigated Mr. Ouyang's daily life and found nothing wrong.

So, where was the problem?
