Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (29)

”Ever since I was little, my mother has never looked at me properly, and my father despises me too. I don’t have any friends; he’s my only friend, but he...”

Chuzheng stepped forward and hugged him.

Yann Ge struggled: ”Why did you treat him like that!”

Chuzheng pressed him down: ”That matter has nothing to do with me. You saw it this morning, you were the first.”

Yann Ge suddenly became quiet.

Chuzheng comfortingly patted his back.

Yann Ge’s body gradually leaned against Chuzheng, and he slowly held her: ”Who was it then?”

Chuzheng answered frankly: ”It’s been so long, how would I know.” Anyway, it wasn’t me, don’t blame me!

That incident from years ago, to the original person, was not even memorable.

Yet, to Yann Ge, it was a major event that overturned everything for him.

Yann Ge investigated for a long time before discovering from someone that on that night, he was stopped by the Grand Imperial Princess.

The Grand Imperial Princess and her group were the last ones to see him.

The Grand Imperial Princess’s group always acted recklessly; doing such a thing, no one would doubt them.

When reported at the time, those people quickly evaded the issue, hardly helping him investigate, and even seemed reluctant for him to pursue the matter.

This indirectly indicated that the matter was related to the Grand Imperial Princess.

”It really wasn’t you?”

”How can I make you believe me?”

Mu Mian, and even the entire Ziwei Palace, could testify.

On the day of the incident, the original person was too drunk to be aware.

How could she possibly do anything to anyone when she was already incapable?

”...Sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Chuzheng pressed him into the chair to sit down, speaking fiercely.

”One misunderstanding and it’s all forgiven?”

I spent these days in fear for nothing?

Yann Ge’s eyes were still a bit red, like a frightened little rabbit: ”...What do you want?”

Chuzheng sat on the table, one foot on the side of the chair, looking like a bandit: ”What do you think?”

”I already belong to you...” Yann Ge muttered: ”It’s up to you what you want to do.”

When he entered the palace, he hadn’t planned to leave alive.

But now the situation has developed quite differently from what he expected...

Chuzheng: ”Let me think.”

Yann Ge looked at her and lay down across her legs: ”What about the people who were with you that day? Were they also not suspicious?”

”You want me to help you investigate?”

”The government office is concealing things, I can’t investigate.” Yann Ge said, ”That’s why, coupled with what that person told me, I was so certain it was you.”

”Alright, I’ll help you investigate.”

Yann Ge didn’t have high hopes.

But she didn’t even think about it and easily agreed.

Yann Ge held her waist: ”Your Highness... aren’t you mad at me?”

I’m about to explode with anger!

But who made you a Good Person Card!

Even if I’m furious, I can only calm down!

So pitifully weak and helpless, such a miserable fate.

”Don’t act rashly anymore.” Chuzheng stroked his head.

His long hair was smooth like satin, but it didn’t have the fluffy softness.

”Your Highness, will you send me away?”

”Why would I send you away?” Chuzheng’s fingers running through his hair: ”Let me tell you, Yann Ge, if you dare to run, I’ll settle everything from before with you together.”

Breaking both legs wouldn’t be enough!!

”Your Highness, I wouldn’t run.” Yann Ge returned to his innocent tone: ”I like Your Highness.”

”Like enough to kill me.”

”...” Yann Ge’s heart ached dully, instantly withering: ”Sorry.”

”Alright, let go.”

”I want to hold you a little longer.”

”Hold me tonight, let go.”

Yann Ge’s originally pale face suddenly turned red, he released Chuzheng and sat upright.

Chuzheng jumped off the table, then thought of something, turned around, and supported herself on the chair, encircling Yann Ge between her arms and the chair.

Yann Ge looked at her nervously.

”Yann Ge, you really didn’t poison me.”

Yann Ge shook his head: ”No.”

He murmured an explanation himself: ”I thought about it originally... but I hadn’t gotten the chance.”

He made food for Chuzheng every day.

It was all for this preparation.

Mu Mian used to check every time before.

Lately, Mu Mian hasn’t checked, but before he had the chance, this incident happened.

Chuzheng lightly patted him like a puppy, patting his head: ”Lucky for you, you saved yourself.”

Yann Ge: ”...”

-

Chuzheng asked Mu Mian to investigate those who were with her back then, what they did that night.

But since so much time has passed, and it’s a world without video records, how could they find anything?

The news Mu Mian managed to gather was relayed to Chuzheng.

”What did Ning Yao do after returning that day?”

”Oh, the palace attendants from the Third Prince’s palace said that after returning, the Third Prince drank hangover soup, then claimed to be hungry, and had food made. He was up until dawn before sleeping.”

”What about the others?”

”Many people can’t remember anymore...” After all, it wasn’t anything significant, nor a memorable day, just an ordinary day. Who would remember so long ago.

”So, Ning Yao’s people in the palace remember so clearly, don’t you find it strange?”

Mu Mian was stunned.

Yeah.

She asked others who couldn’t remember, so why could the people from the Third Prince’s palace remember so clearly?

”Investigate the officials responsible for this matter back then.”

”Yes.”

-

The Head of the Imperial Guard felt that being the highest officer of the Imperial Guard, having to do sneaky things was simply a disgrace to her title.

How was she going to maintain face afterwards!

She was determined not to do such things!

She was an Imperial Guard with aspirations and status!

”Hurry.”

”Coming, coming.” The Head of the Imperial Guard responded in a low voice, dragging someone, and followed Chuzheng.

The two of them, one ahead and one behind, found an abandoned temple with no one there.

The Head of the Imperial Guard woke the person up.

”W-Where is this place, who are you people!”

Chuzheng approached with a torch: ”Minister Yang, long time no see.”

”G-Grand Imperial Princess.” Minister Yang was taken aback: ”W-What are you doing?”

Minister Yang struggled, trying to rise.

The Head of the Imperial Guard pushed Minister Yang back down.

She pretended with a piece of black cloth over her face, but Minister Yang still immediately recognized her: ”Commander Qu, you... What are you doing!”

How could the highest leader of the Imperial Guard be together with the Grand Imperial Princess!

And bring him here tied up?

What on earth were they thinking?!

Minister Yang was completely unsettled.

Commander Qu wasn’t happy, having been recognized, she pulled the black cloth off her face, hanging it on her chin, and gave Minister Yang a slight smile.

Minister Yang: ”...”

Chuzheng glanced at Commander Qu: ”I have something to ask you.”

Minister Yang, being a minister after all, quickly calmed down: ”Your Highness, whatever you need to know, just ask, why bring me here for that?”

The torch was thrust towards Minister Yang’s face with a ’whoosh.’

”Ah!”

The heat hit him directly, and Minister Yang reflexively let out a scream.

Chuzheng moved the torch away: ”Do you think I dare ask you elsewhere?” Screaming so loud, I’m no fool.

Minister Yang: ”...”
