The Fourth Prince's Residence

In the study, Jun Minhuai was concentrating on painting a picture of a dragon flying into the sky. His eyebrows were furrowed, his facial features were distinct, his lips were slightly pursed, and there was no emotion on his face.

Jun Minrong, who was standing beside him, reported with a worried look on his face: "Fourth brother, mother got angry again today and broke a pair of jade bottles."

Jun Min didn't even raise his head, and continued to paint. His voice was slightly cold: "Did the emperor go to the queen again?"

Jun Minrong shook his head: "I heard that the queen's migraine has recurred, but my father was summoned by the royal grandmother, who is also not feeling well."

"Why is mother so angry?"

"It will be my mother's birthday in a few days. My father intends to give my mother a string of Bodhi beads that the Mongols presented as a birthday gift. I heard that these Bodhi beads can keep the wearer safe and sound, and wearing them for a long time is beneficial to the body, can delay aging, and can nourish the skin."

Jun Minrong sighed and continued, "But the queen is ill, and father, out of filial piety, can only go to the royal grandmother. In order to make up for the queen, father actually sent the Bodhi beads to Fengqi Palace. When mother heard about it, she..."

Jun Minhuai painted a pair of lifelike eyes on the dragon's head, but those eyes were full of life.

He put down the pen and ink in his hand and said: "My mother's temper is getting more and more impatient. Let her be. It's just a string of bodhi beads."

Jun Minrong disagreed, "Father is too partial, he goes back on his word, and always puts the Queen first in everything. No wonder Mother is getting more impatient."

Jun Minhuai glanced at Jun Minrong calmly: "It is common for women in the harem to compete for favor. Since mother has taken the position of Imperial Concubine, she has her own methods. We don't need to worry too much."

Jun Minhuai rolled up the painting of a dragon flying into the sky that he had just finished on the table and said solemnly, "It's just that the queen and the queen mother fell ill at the same time, which is unusual."

Jun Minrong listened to what Jun Minhuai said, thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the queen is ill, but the people in Fengqi Palace seem to be under house arrest. It's very quiet, and no one goes out."

Jun Minhuai sat at the table, tapping the table with his index finger, and snapping his fingers in the air.

A figure immediately flew out from the darkness.

The guard Leng Luo clasped his hands together and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness!"

"Well, how is the investigation of the Black Jade incident going?"

Leng Luo lowered his head and said, "According to my investigation, the black jade did not belong to the Queen Mother, but to a traveling doctor. Before the Queen Mother entered the palace, she encountered bandits on her way to pray for blessings, and was saved by a traveling doctor. I have found no clues after further investigation."

Jun Minhuai continued to tap the table with his index finger and said solemnly: "Keep investigating."

"Yes."

"How is the investigation going on with the secret agent?"

Leng Luo's face tensed slightly: "Your Highness, the secret agent has been eliminated."

Jun Minhuai suddenly stopped hammering and looked at Leng Luo in disbelief: "What did you say? There are so many secret agents, how could they be wiped out?"

Leng Luo also had a surprised look on his face: "The secret agents were all slaughtered overnight. Rumor has it that it was done by Wuying Building. It was said that the secret agents offended Wuying Building's owner Leng Ming and stole Leng Ming's beloved woman, which is why they were killed."

"What about the woman who won the championship in the secret stakes? Have you found out her identity?"

Leng Luo lowered his head even more: "There is no clue at all. It seems that the woman has disappeared from the face of the earth."

Jun Minhuai said coldly: "Useless."
