tter and escape!"A black dot on the horizon grew larger and larger, soon revealing its shape. Yue Leng, clad in a dark-colored hunting suit, descended from the sky, his target clear: Yin Guan's cargo...Zhong Xuan was astonished.

Jiang Wang almost slipped and one foot landed in the pond.

With his cultivation level, he shouldn't be this out of control. It's really Chongxuan Sheng's mind that's turning too fast!

He had only just started to talk on this side, mentioning the matter of the Northern Camp Prefect, and before he could even finish discussing it, Chongxuan Sheng over there had almost pieced together the whole story of the Longevity Palace incident.

This makes it seem like he was racking his brains in Changsheng Palace for a long time, utterly lost in thought.

He's a master of double talk. He utters one thing on the left and conveys another piece of information on the right, weaving through two lines of communication to piece things together...

This is a test.

“I knew you’d get it right.” Jiang Wang didn’t show any surprise, wearing a look of “a promising student” as she calmly said, “Lin Youxie judged that Feng Gu’s death was suicide. She believes that Feng Gu chose to commit suicide in order to draw out the Lei貴妃 case.”

"Suicide" Chong Xuan pondered for a moment, "That makes sense..."

What's that supposed to mean

"You mean..." Jiang Wang calmly analyzed with him.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

"What kind of person would be stupid enough to come back and silence people after so many years What kind of person would be stupid enough to provoke the emperor at this time" Zhong Xuansheng said: "I've thought about these questions for a long time!"

"If Feng Gu had been secretly investigating for so many years, and just now discovered the clues to that case" Jiang Wang was a bit unconvinced.

“Feng Gu happened to die right after the funeral ended, which means everything wasn't a coincidence. Such an accurate time point is enough to prove that his death was premeditated, rather than impulsive.” Chong Xuan glanced at Jiang Wang: “Whether it was suicide or homicide, since it was premeditated, how could it possibly be 'just discovered'”

Jiang Wang nodded seriously: "What you said makes sense."

Chong Xuan didn't bother with his nonsense, and said with some annoyance: "Seeing Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie appear together, I should have thought of it. The death of a Feng Gu, even if it was truly murder, how could these two people be the ones investigating...I shouldn't have let you go!"

"Why can't it be these two people" Jiang Wang habitually contradicted.

Zhong Xuan angrily bit into a fruit: "One wants to prove their loyalty, the other seeks the truth. Neither should get involved in this case. Unless this case happens to satisfy both of them... I've been playing chess with fools for too long, I've even lost my sensitivity!"

"What a rotten chessboard" Jiang Wang was very sensitive now.

"It's not just those Ma Lianwang, hmph... types," Chong Xuan Sheng mumbled through a mouthful of fruit, then asked, "Want one"

"No." Jiang Wang didn't have much appetite. She strolled by the pond: "Oh, right. Before Feng Gu died, Lin Youxie received a scalpel used for dissection, one that Lin Kuang had used in the past. That's why she wanted to get involved in this case."

Zhong Xuan held the fruit, which had been bitten half gone, in his hand and paused for a moment. "So that's how it is!"

Jiang Wang:

>

Well, I see.

What So that's how it is!

Finally, he asked enigmatically, "Oh"

According to Records of the Grand Historian, every time there was a dispute over favor among the concubines in the Qi palace or a situation where beauties were vying for power, Qi Wudi would first ask... "Oh" before figuring out what was going on.

In this way, he appeared calm and composed, innocent of any wrongdoing. He subtly took control of the situation, becoming the master instead of the guest. Moreover, without revealing a trace, he skillfully extracted information from the other party, gaining a clear understanding of the true circumstances...

That's a brilliant idea!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhong Xuan Sheng didn't think too much about it and casually said, "I originally thought Feng Gu was admirable in spirit but lacking in intelligence. Considering your feelings, I didn't say it directly. Now that I think about it, he's not completely brainless either."

“Oh” Jiang Wang asked again.

Chongxuan Sheng had long been cultivated by Jiang Wang to be patient and explained earnestly, "The assassination case of Lei Guifei was unsolved back then because of historical reasons."

Jiang Wang nodded slightly, modestly signaling him to continue.

Zhong Xuan Shengdao: "In the 38th year of Emperor Yuanfeng, Lou Lan Gong rebelled in broad daylight. The Son of Heaven personally led the army to quell it, and with one battle, he brought it to an end...Although this battle was won, its aftermath lasted for ten years. The assassination of Lei Gui Fei occurred during this period, and the famous hunter Lin Kuang also died in this case, causing a great uproar throughout the city... The Son of Heaven had to prioritize stabilizing the situation, so he tacitly agreed to indefinitely shelve this case."

“Loulan Gong”

Jiang Wang was truly curious. There had never been a duke in the Qi state, and he had never heard of this title "Loulan Duke".

>Because of some historical reasons, my Great Qi has no hereditary dukes. In the 38th year of Emperor Feng, there was only one duke, Loulan Duke. Loulan Duke had fought alongside Your Majesty in many battles in his early years, conquering cities and destroying nations, earning a brilliant military record. His reputation is not inferior to that of the current God of War. His name has become taboo, you must be unaware... Let's not talk about him for now.

> Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Zhong Xuan said, "In essence, the assassination of Lei Gui Fei remained unsolved back then not because they truly couldn't find the culprit. It was due to political reasons that it was shelved. I believe Feng Gu chose to investigate this old case now because he saw the Emperor's decisiveness in directly executing Yan Tu. Right now, Da Qi is capable of weathering some turmoil."

Jiang Wang frowned: "Investigating the assassination of Lei Guifei will cause turmoil in the country"

"At least during the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Yuanfeng. Now…" Zhong Xuan said, "I think unless the War God is the perpetrator, no one can shake the imperial authority."

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment before saying, "Does this mean... the emperor knows who killed Empress Lei"

"Who knows The emperor's heart is hard to fathom." Chongxuan said slowly, "But regardless of whether the emperor back then knew or not, since there has been no result for so many years, then the current emperor certainly doesn't know. As for whether the current emperor will know... it depends on whether you guys manage to become officials."

Zhonghuan's words are a bit convoluted.

Jiang Wang only said——

“Oh”

Zhong Xuan Sheng had already thoroughly sorted out his thoughts. He finished the two apples in his hand and said in a relaxed tone: “First, investigate and find out the truth of that year. If this truth is something the emperor should know, then submit it to the Hall of Political Affairs. If this truth is something the emperor shouldn't know, then submit it privately to the emperor.”

He smiled: "Zheng Shi is indeed sharp-eyed! Zheng Shangming is right. Seize this opportunity, and you will be the Prefect of Beiya!"

"What if we can't find it" Jiang Wang asked.

"How could it not be found" Chong Xuansheng said, "As long as you agree to Zheng Shifu and his son's conditions, they will find a way to give you the truth. Even...not just them. Many people want to give you the truth."

"How should one judge whether this truth is something the emperor should know" Jiang Wang asked again.

“That’s not difficult, is it You just…” Chongxuan thought for a moment, then decided against it. He changed his tone and said, “Forget it, you can just ask me directly when the time comes, Zheng Shi and his son will also help you consider it.”

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, then grinned. "Everything is right here in front of me. I just need to reach out and take it."

Here is the translation:

“Indeed, it is within your grasp,” Chong Xuan said with a profound air. “But only because you possess such value, do you have the chance to reach out. Because you shone brightly in Xingyueyuan, your fame reached far and wide across the world. Because you risked your life so many times, and strived so hard...only then can you now touch upon wealth and glory.”

His tone was serious: "This is what you deserve, Jiang Wang. Don't miss this opportunity."

...Opportunity.

Jiang Wang silently looked at the surface of the pool.

A gentle breeze swept across the pond, rippling its surface.
