Chapter 488 Untitled
The twelfth prince was more concerned with what he cared about.
I have little interest in exploring anything else.
But when it came to this, Lin Yi suddenly fell silent, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a single honest word.
The twelfth prince squinted at him and said, "What's wrong? Just say what you have to say."
Lin Yi paused for a moment before saying, "According to what I've found out, Mr. Xiang and Jinse have never met before. That day at the paper and ink shop was their first meeting. It's really..."
We really can't find anything wrong.
He couldn't very well tie up Mr. Xiang and torture him to force a confession.
The twelfth prince pondered for a long time without speaking.
Seeing the Twelfth Prince like this, Lin Yi felt a little uneasy and said, "This servant also sent people to Jiangnan to inquire about news, but the journey is long and no useful information has been sent back for the time being."
"understood!"
The twelfth prince remained silent for a while, realizing in his heart that he had put Lin Yi in a difficult position.
After a moment's thought, he said, "In that case, let's investigate slowly. During this time, have your men keep a close eye on Jinse to prevent any further accidents."
Since we couldn't find out why Mr. Xiang was paying attention to Jinse, and we didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, we stopped him from having any contact with Jinse.
Lin Yiming understood and quickly nodded in agreement.
However, what the twelfth prince didn't know was that while he was sending Lin Yi to investigate Mr. Xiang, the other party was also secretly sending out people.
Those people secretly investigating were naturally Jinse.
Because Lin Yi was only focused on investigating Mr. Xiang himself, he did not notice this matter.
On the contrary, it was the emperor in the palace who received the news.
Since suspecting that Jinse was that person's daughter, the emperor has paid much more attention to her than before.
For a moment, the emperor even considered recalling Jinse to the palace. However, upon learning that Jinse was quite comfortable in the Twelfth Prince's residence, he hesitated and ultimately did not take any action.
Since Jinse could not be transferred back to the palace, the emperor naturally had to pay more attention to her in another way.
Because of the increased attention, the emperor was fully aware of what Jinse had been doing recently.
And so, naturally, I learned about Mr. Xiang's matter.
The emperor had not paid much attention to this Mr. Xiang.
After all, after Jinse left the palace, she often helped the Twelfth Prince manage his businesses and came into contact with quite a few outsiders.
Mr. Xiang, who had little interaction with Jinse, naturally wouldn't attract much attention from the emperor.
However, one day, the emperor received a message from his secret guards that someone was secretly investigating Jinse's life.
This is something that only the emperor has ever done.
When the emperor noticed that someone else was also paying attention to Jinse, he couldn't help but take notice.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that it was Mr. Xiang who was investigating Jinse's affairs.
Upon learning this result, the emperor was very puzzled.
"I remember that this Mr. Xiang is a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan. Apart from that time a few days ago, he should have never met Jinse before?"
Eunuch Yang stood to the side and silently replied, "As far as this old servant knows, that is indeed the case."
Putting everything else aside, given the age difference between the two, they shouldn't have any relationship.
The emperor hummed in agreement, pondered for a moment, and initially paid no attention, but then it seemed he had thought of something else.
He looked at Eunuch Yang and said, "Send someone to investigate this Mr. Xiang, to investigate his life story, and... his movements over the past ten years."
The Emperor didn't seem to care much about Mr. Xiang before, so why is he suddenly investigating him again?
Although Yang Gonggong was puzzled, he still nodded: "Yes, this old servant will send someone to investigate immediately!"
