“Oh?” Murong Nan was so interested in what he said that his original anger gradually dissipated. He stared at him with a pair of deep eyes, and his eyebrows couldn’t help but raise habitually, waiting for him to give an interesting answer. “The most elite and professional interrogator under the emperor didn’t get Zhao Ne’s name from Murong Yi, but you got it out in just a few words?” Li Yuebai said: “Is this really a good thing?”
“…”
Since the second prince got into trouble, the interrogation of him had never stopped. Dali Temple, Ministry of Justice… batches of respected old gentlemen who had handled major cases for a lifetime had bombarded him in turn, but it was a pity that a madman was a madman, and no one could get anything out of a madman.
“If you use extraordinary means to pry open Murong Yi’s mouth and make him confess directly about Zhao Ne.” Li Yuebai said, “Such a confession is useless and a waste of words. The emperor will only suspect that you deliberately framed Zhao Ne.”
“Then why did my father send me here?” Murong Nan frowned, “So it was not for me to convict Zhao Ne?”
“No.” Li Yuebai said, “The emperor’s trust in you is only 50%. This is a delicate balance. He sent you here… mainly to observe you.”
“…” Murong Nan showed a disgusted expression on his face. He always hated being manipulated by others, even if it was his father’s manipulation, he was unwilling to accept it.
“When we entered the Dian Yi Palace, someone was following us.” Li Yuebai explained, “He was sent by the emperor to monitor you, monitor your every move, and monitor whether you violated any rules during the interrogation.”
Murong Nan’s face was gloomy, and he knocked on the table with his hand, obviously very unhappy.
“Fortunately, you handled the whole process impartially and there was no problem at all.” Li Yuebai smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Murong Nan’s head: “I’m sorry for wronging you.”
“Ding!” The system issued a prompt: “The emperor’s trust in the prince has risen to 70%!”
“Look, look.” Li Yuebai hurriedly told the prince the good news: “I won’t let you suffer in vain, right?”
“But I still think that Murong Yi’s matter can’t end like this.” Murong Nan’s expression was relieved by his rubbing. He leaned his body and lay down, resting his head on Li Yuebai’s legs, saying: “This secret can’t be buried forever.”
“There will be a chance, but not now.” Li Yuebai said: “Maybe it will be revealed at the last moment.”
The next day, Murong Nan came to Li Yuebai again and showed another waist card.
This waist card was more special than the last time. It was-free entry and exit of the Northwest Military Camp.
Last time, Shan Hengxin’s performance in the military competition in the parade ground also made the emperor suspicious.
The Northwest Border Defense was a major issue today, which was related to the safety of the entire Duan Dynasty. If Shan Hengxin was incompetent, there would be loopholes in the Northwest Border Defense. Such loopholes must not be neglected. Therefore, the emperor decided to send someone to check.
It was true that Shan Hengxin was a new Wu family force that he supported, but it was not good to support the wrong one. It must be found out and corrected as soon as possible.
The emperor’s trust in the crown prince had risen to 70%, so this task naturally fell on the prince.
Li Yuebai stared at the waist card with envy.
After crossing over, he had been locked up in the palace. It was too difficult for modern people. If there were computers and mobile phones, it was okay not to go out, but how could there be? If this was a dynasty that really existed in history, he could still take the opportunity to learn about clothing, books, architecture and other aspects of information, and go back to write a paper or something, but this was an imaginary dynasty and thus lacked research value… These days, Li Yuebai was thus really miserable.
Suppressing his envy, Li Yuebai could only gently advise: “Be careful when you go out, bring more reliable people…”
Murong Nan put away his waist card, nodded, and said: “Sir, please prepare well, we will set off now.”
Eh?
Li Yuebai was a little dizzy from the sudden surprise and shock.
“Take me?” He asked a little unbelievably.
“Of course.” Murong Nan nodded: “Didn’t you say to bring reliable people?”
An elite cavalry set out from Shangjing and headed straight to the northwest.
It was May, and the surrounding area was full of flowers, willows, birds and fragrance, which was very beautiful.
After leaving the gate of Shangjing, Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was suddenly given a long vacation after working overtime for half a year.
Taking advantage of the long vacation to ride a horse out of the city for an outing, the gods would not change.
No matter how weak the original owner Yun Weizhi was, he had also mastered the necessary skills of a stylish man in ancient times-riding a horse. However after Li Yuebai came here, he had not ridden it yet.
Before setting off, when Li Yuebai saw the plain spotted horse, he was still a little timid and didn’t dare to touch it. However, Murong Nan’s words aroused his fighting spirit.
Murong Nan said with concern: “Sir, you are not in good health, so you should take a carriage.”
Then he led him to the carriage very considerately, and carefully supported him with his hands, almost carrying him directly into the carriage.
“I have a question to test Your Highness the Crown Prince.” Li Yuebai was speechless about this naughty child, and he held his forehead and said angrily: “I am wearing Hufu today, why?”
“Oh?” Murong Nan raised his eyebrows and looked back and forth at Li Yuebai.
The white Hufu with its tight sleeves, narrow collar, belt around the waist, dark boots on the feet, and a head of black long hair tied up with a silver ring, made him look taller, with a narrower waist, and beautiful legs. It was completely different from the weak appearance of wide robes and large sleeves in the past, and it was a different taste.
“It looks good.” Murong Nan nodded and commented simply.
“It’s not for Your Highness to see.” Li Yuebai blushed under his naked gaze and said angrily, “Wearing Hufu is naturally for riding a horse.”
After arguing for a while, Murong Nan finally agreed reluctantly.
Although he agreed, he still stood in front of the carriage with a smile on his face, blocking Li Yuebai’s way, making it impossible for Li Yuebai to walk away from the carriage.
“…” Li Yuebai stood there helplessly, speechless about the childish behavior of this child.
The next second, he felt his waist tighten, his body tilt, and the whole person was picked up by Murong Nan as he walked towards the white horse.
“What is your highness doing?” Although Murong Nan’s men did not look in this direction, Li Yuebai still felt that he had suddenly become the center of the world and the focus of embarrassment. He pretended to be calm and said, “Put me down.”
“No.” Murong Nan answered very straightforwardly.
He stepped on the horse-mounting stone on the side of the road and carried Li Yuebai to the horse’s back and did not forget to carefully remind him: “If you feel uncomfortable, just call someone.”
Li Yuebai closed his eyes and recalled all the original owner’s memories about riding horses from his mind and soon got the hang of it.
