“No rush, first we see how the emperor reacts. The assassin was a guard, the emperor would most probably use this chance to implicate Lu and Ye Family as well, just not sure to which extend. The empress in the end would not be able to get anything good of it anyway. Furthermore, even if the emperor let her off, there is still the empress dowager. As for us, we should just have to sit at the peak to look at the tigers fight.
“I will not just sit here and wait, when it is the right time, I will naturally act”

Inside Wu Ying Hall, the person in charge of this case, Xie Chang Qing was being questioned by Ji Wu Jiu. Kang Cheng Lu’s interrogation process is not very smooth, no matter how much they tortured or asked him, he only kept saying that he did not like Ji Wu Jiu, and that he thought that he was a bad emperor, kills others easily, and that there was no mastermind behind him. These type of words.. even a fool would not believe.
Ji Wu Jiu pondered for a while and asked “That person, few days before the assassination, was his actions suspicious? “
“Replying to your majesty, after asking around the people that were closed to him, we did not manage to find anything suspicious about his previous actions. Just that… this person does not like woman, but a few days ago, it seems like he visited a brothel to drink. “
“To drink?” Ji Wu Jiu scoffed, “Brothels surely does not lack gossips, which one did he go?”
“Replying to your majesty, the one that he went to is Cui Fang Lou”
“Cui Fang Lou?” Ji Wu Jiu closed his eyes and murmured to himself “Great, I also need to drop by”
Xie Chang Qing thought that he has found out a very big secret, so he hardened his face, at a side trying to reduce his existence.
Ji Wu Jiu asked, “The person who falsified the edict, did you find out the culprit already?”
