Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

Jiang Mansion.

"Father, the Chief Censor is indeed dead." Jiang Mo stepped into the mansion to report to Jiang Zhuo.

"Dead? When did it happen?" Jiang Zhuo stopped pruning the plants.

"According to analysis, he died three months ago in Huanxiang Pavilion."

"Fragrance Pavilion..."

Jiang Zhuo put down the scissors, took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, and wiped his hands.

"Besides this, are there any other clues?"

"I checked. It is said that a brothel girl killed him. Later, the brothel girl committed suicide out of fear of punishment." Jiang Mo told the truth.

"Haha, there is no evidence after death." Jiang Zhuo chuckled.

"It is said that the Ministry of Justice has come forward and after investigation, it was confirmed that it was the woman who did it. She drank too much and then stabbed the broken bowl into the neck, which led to death."

"Father, do you think it was King Xiao who did it?" Jiang Mo asked this question.

Jiang Zhuo stroked his beard habitually, "Not likely."

"Zhongshi Zhongcheng, there is no need for Prince Xiao to do it himself. Besides, whether that person is dead or alive is of no consequence to him. Zhongshi Zhongcheng is a man who is greedy for money and lustful, and self-righteous. It is only natural that he was killed by a woman."

Jiang Zhuo's thoughts were in turmoil. The whole thing was indeed suspicious, but it was also unintentional.

"We are just waiting to find evidence against Xiao Yanqing. It's not worth it for such a person."

"Father is right. I will continue to pay attention to this matter." Jiang Mo vowed.

"Has there been any movement recently?" Based on his understanding of Xiao Yanqing, it would be impossible for there to be no movement after such a long time.

"There are no strange phenomena in Prince Xiao's Mansion, and no outsiders."

"Haha, Xiao Yanqing is really patient."

"It doesn't matter. We are not the only ones against him." Jiang Zhuo raised the corners of his mouth, wrinkles piled up on his cheeks, but still could not conceal his aura.

"It's Dad."

"There is one more thing, Dad. People are saying that Jiang Qingyu died in an accident. Do we need to..." Jiang Mo was worried that this incident would have an impact on the Jiang family.

Jiang gave an answer after careful consideration, "If your majesty asks about this matter, just say that she is missing and is currently being searched for."

Since Qing Yu followed him every day, this week was just like any other day. Xiao Yanqing didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, but she was not allowed to leave the Xiao Mansion.

As long as he was out of the house, she could arrange her time by herself. What they saw as a restriction on her freedom was a chance for her to enjoy some peaceful time.

"Qingyu, your swordsmanship has improved a lot." Xiao Wenshu had just finished his work and came to practice with her.

Unexpectedly, in just one week, she made great progress. Her biggest shortcoming now is that she cannot conduct her aura throughout her body. If she can adapt to this, she will definitely be a master.

"Haha, Qianyun is much stricter than General Li." Her pleasant laughter echoed in the air. Strictness was exactly what she wanted.

"However, I still can't comprehend the so-called 'airflow'." Qing Yu pursed his lips with some regret.

"It's okay Qingyu. We have been practicing martial arts since we were young. It's only been three months, and we are already very strong to our current level." Xiao Wenshu sat beside her and comforted her.

"Really?" she muttered.

"Really." Xiao Wenshu smiled and nodded with relief and affirmation.

Qing Yu also curved his eyebrows, "Then I have confidence."

"Qing Yu, has my brother given you any trouble recently?" Xiao Wenshu thought about this incident and realized that his brother seemed to be intentionally avoiding them meeting.

"No, His Highness is fine, but..."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Wenshu asked with concern.

"Not much fun."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Wenshu couldn't help laughing, "Haha, then, what other hobbies does Qingyu have? Let me see if I can help you."

"Preferences..." She rested her fingers on her chin and thought of the answer.

"I like... reading."

"This is easy. Isn't there a study room?"

"Well... His Highness does not allow me to enter and exit other rooms at will."

What if she ran around and got punished? Her life was in his hands now.

"Well, I'll bring you books every week. My brother won't say anything if I give them to you."

Her eyes widened and she stood up, "Really?"

"real."

"Great."

She clasped her hands together, leaned forward and saluted playfully, "Thank you, Brother Wenshu."

"Ah? Qingyu, stop teasing me." Xiao Wenshu was startled and quickly supported her.

While they were playing around, Xiao Wenshu's expression changed slightly and he signaled the people to come in.

"Brother is back."

Qing Yu turned around and saw Xiao Yanqing, and the two of them hurried forward to greet him.

"Brother." Xiao Wenshu bowed and saluted.

Qing Yu was about to speak, but when he saw Qian Yun's expression, he quickly stepped aside.

Xiao Yanqing looked at Xiao Wenshu, "Wenshu, have you arranged the previous matters?"

"Yes, brother. Everything is arranged for the people in the position."

"Okay, it should be officially settled in the next few days."

His eyes are always there wherever they can be.

"By the way, brother, the Jiang Mansion is also investigating this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yanqing's eyes fell on her beside him, and the others followed suit.

Qing Yu was startled when he saw the three people were staring at him at the same time.

She pursed her lips and said, "Are you telling me to avoid it?"

Seeing that the expressions of the other two people except Xiao Yanqing suddenly tensed, she turned around and stood further away.

"Go on." Xiao Yanqing gestured.

"Yes, brother. The Jiang family may want to find something to hold against us in this matter."

Jiang Zhuo must have never stopped monitoring him. "If you want to find any flaws in me in this matter, you are too naive."

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Don't worry about them, just let them be and just keep an eye on them."

"Yes, brother."

He glanced sideways, his gaze lingering on her weak back, "Go, call her over."

"It's Your Highness."

Qing Yu reacted and quickly handed the sword in his hand to Qian Yun, and followed him into the study.

"Did you understand just now?" Xiao Yanqing sat down without raising his eyes.

"Didn't Your Highness tell me not to listen?" Qing Yu stood in front of him, confused.

He looked up to examine her expression.

She pondered and said frankly, "Does it mean that they want to plant someone? But I don't understand what it is?"

"Fragrance Pavilion." He suggested.

She suddenly realized, "You mean the dead person?"

"It turns out that the Jiang Mansion is also investigating this matter."

Qing Yu didn't understand why they were only investigating now because it happened three months ago? She had to admire Xiao Yanqing's ability to conceal the incident for so long before it caused turmoil.

"Hasn't your highness dealt with everything?"

Just as he expected, her face was calm, without a trace of surprise.

"You don't seem surprised at all."

She recalled the situation at that time, "That man's self-confidence and arrogance would be unacceptable if he didn't have an official position. Moreover, he was specially invited by you."

Xiao Yanqing noticed that there was a smile in her eyes. There was no anger or any other unnecessary expression. What a strange woman.

"So what do you think about this?"

"Jiang Zhuo probably won't take care of these things personally, nor will he focus on things with little hope. He will just hand them over to Jiang Mo and let him practice."

Jiang Mo is Jiang Qingyu's half-brother. In Jiang Qingyu's memory, according to her analysis, it would be better to say that he is a carefully trained and controlled minion rather than her most beloved child.
