Chapter 327 Protecting the country for her (46)

Author: Qi Yao

After calming Nie Chi down, Yuan Yao talked about the case itself again.

She grabbed Nie Chi's sleeve and urged, "You must know what this case is about, right? Tell me quickly!"

Nie Chi comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, please eat something first."

Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and then saw Xiao Shuanzi opening the door and bringing in several plates of snacks.

She pursed her lips, but still insisted, "Then let's talk while eating!"

Nie Chi glanced at her and wanted to say something, but she glared at her fiercely again.

"Who told you to cause trouble? I could have investigated slowly, but now I have to clear your name first! Otherwise, how do you want me to face the Imperial Master tomorrow?"

"..."

Nie Chi paused for a few seconds, then reluctantly compromised, "Well, it's my fault."

He picked up a piece of crystal cake and handed it to Yuan Yao's lips.

After she finished eating the pastry, he continued, "Hasn't Your Majesty already guessed it? Apart from the Prime Minister, there is no one else who is the culprit."

Huainan is located at the junction of Yun State and Ye State.

It is also a permanent place for business people from the two countries to trade.

In the past few years, the Prime Minister originally reached out to the land of Huainan in order to expand the scope of his power, but he unexpectedly discovered that that place was a treasure land for attracting money.

Yuan Yao frowned tightly, "Are you saying that the amount found this time is just the tip of the iceberg, and more may have been transferred to Ye Country?"

Nie Chi nodded slightly.

Yuan Yao suddenly frowned and said sadly, "Then it will be even more difficult to investigate. How could the Ye Kingdom allow our people to enter their territory to investigate the case?"

Nie Chi said, "You don't need to enter Ye Country to find out. You just need to find the person who helps him move between the two countries."

Yuan Yao asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Nie Chi raised his hand and wiped away the pastry crumbs from her lips, and then faintly said a name, "Cao Jun."

Yuan Yao was stunned, "But hasn't he already..."

She stopped speaking abruptly, and then said in shock, "Is he fake?"

Nie Chi nodded slightly, then curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything will come to light in a few days."

When Yuan Yao heard this, her eyes widened angrily, "Are you still going to show off?"

The way her hair was blowing up was so cute, Nie Chi couldn't help but stretched out his hand and wanted to rub the top of her plush hair, but she slapped her away.

Nie Chi retracted his hand regretfully and said comfortingly, "It's not that I'm betraying you, it's just that this matter involves a wider area than your Majesty imagined... So your Majesty, take a good rest these few days and recuperate your energy, so that you can prepare for a big battle."

Yuan Yao: "..."

…

Indeed, as Nie Chi said, after three days of tug-of-war between Yuan Yao and the Imperial Preceptor, the minister of Dali Temple suddenly came to report that the man in prison was not the real Cao Jun and that he had been deceived.

He knelt on the ground and apologized in a deep voice, "I am incompetent and made such a big mistake. Please punish me!"

Yuan Yao pretended to be thoughtful, "Then where did Cao Jun really go?"

Before the Minister of Dali Temple could say anything, the Imperial Master reminded him in an unclear way, "Young Minister of Dali Temple, you personally arrested this person, how can he still be false? I'm afraid you didn't collude with this person and wanted to kill him privately.

Let me go?"

The Minister of Dali Temple suddenly stared, "What do you mean, Master Imperial Master? What good does this do to me?"
