When she arrived at the Ming government office, Chu Ci went straight to Ming Tai Shi's side to apologize. Yesterday, she had originally agreed with Ming Tai Shi that after attending the palace banquet, she would go directly to the west of the city to meet up with Cheng Qi and the others. However, because she got drunk yesterday, she was taken back to the East Palace by the Crown Prince, and then fell into a confused sleep after getting drunk again, so naturally, she didn't make it to the west of the city.

  But Chu Ci did not expect that after she left, Ming Taishi was not angry, but instead told her very considerately that the Crown Prince had already sent someone to ask for leave on her behalf at the Ministry of War yesterday, so Chu Ci was not considered absent without leave.

  When Chu Ci heard these words, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't bear to be angry with the Crown Prince anymore.

  "Cheng Qi and Rong Lin have already gone to the west of the city, they are still searching for evidence. When you go, remember to tell them, pay close attention to the Jiu Wang Fu." Li Taishi said, handing Chu Ci a document.

  Chu Ci took over and flipped through it, it was about the movements of King Jiu in the past few months. She couldn't help but pause for a moment, raise her eyes and ask: "Does the Grand Master mean that King Jiu is related to this white poison incident?"

  "Just have this suspicion, but remember not to be too obvious. Although the case is handed over to the Ministry of Justice on the surface, our people have seen that there are also people from the Supreme Court appearing in Chengxi. After passing by, try to avoid conflicts with the people from the Supreme Court as much as possible. After all, the Qingzhou case has not been settled yet, and the Ministry of Justice still has a handle in the hands of the Supreme Court."

  Mingtaishi's words were reasonable, so Chuci naturally wouldn't act rashly and nodded in agreement.

  In order not to delay, Chu Ci quickly set off towards the west of the city.

  After arriving at the west of the city, it was already near noon. The person who came to pick her up was Mr. Lin, but he looked anxious and flustered, as if his eyebrows were about to be burned by fire.

  Chu Ci dismounted his horse and greeted Mr. Lin, asking him where Cheng Qi and the others were now.

  But then I heard Mr. Lin say that Rong Yu had been poisoned.

  Chu Ci's heart tightened, and she immediately asked: "What poison?"

  "The doctor just left and still doesn't know, but looking at Lord Cheng Qi's side, they're all about to die of anxiety."

  It means it's just recently poisoned.

  Chu Ci didn't have time to think much and hurriedly asked the doctor to take her over to find them.

  On the way, Chu Ci asked Lin Daren again, when did Rong Lian get poisoned, and how could he be poisoned so suddenly...

  Lord Lin shook his head and said, "I really don't know anything about it. I only know that Lord Rong suddenly wanted to visit King Jiu this morning. I thought it was normal for him to go visit since King Jiu's mansion is in the west of the city, but it seems he was poisoned on the way because not long after, I saw Lord Cheng bringing Lord Rong back."

  Upon hearing these words, Chu Ci vaguely understood what was going on.

  Rong Lian probably got some clues, but didn't expect to be intercepted halfway. If her guess was correct, the clue Rong Lian wanted to find might have been destroyed by now.

  Thinking of this, Chu Ci's heart sank slightly.

  The incident in the west of the city was far more complicated than she had imagined, and somehow, she always felt that this case might be related to the Qingzhou case.
