East Palace.

After finishing the killing, Tongzhuo returned to the dormitory. When he looked up, he saw that Taiqing had begun to drink alone, and he became a little depressed.

"Your Highness is in a bad mood?"

Tongzhuo hesitated for a moment and asked with concern.

"I seem to be ill. If I don't see him for one day, I start thinking about him. If I don't see him for two days, I won't be able to sleep. If I don't see him for three days, I can't sleep at night."

Li Jingyao smiled bitterly, sighed, and directly picked up the wine bottle and poured it down.

"Your Highness is talking about Mr. Wuji?"

Tongzhuo asked hesitantly.

"Who else could it be but him?"

Li Jingyao said helplessly.

From the first moment she saw Mr. Wuji, she was inexplicably attracted to her. But through the two encounters, he could tell that Mr. Wuji had no interest in her at all, and even took the initiative to show his kindness to her. Can't do it.

How had she ever been so ignored?

Looking around the capital, which man is not vying to be included in the East Palace by her?

But the more Mr. Wuji behaves like this, the more she can't let go.

After hearing Li Jingyao's answer, Tongzhuo frowned slightly. For some reason, he never completely trusted Master Wuji from beginning to end, because he could always sense a trace of unwarranted danger in Master Wuji.

Perhaps this comes from his instinctive intuition!

"Your Highness, I heard that Mr. Wuji has opened a new gambling house in the capital, and it is located opposite Tu Jiu's Changsheng Gambling House."

Tongzhuo thought about it again and again and decided to tell Taiqing the news.

"really?!"

Hearing Tong Zhuo's words, Li Jingyao's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"It's absolutely true. I heard the news when I was out of the palace on errands for His Highness. I heard that the business was booming, and Tu Jiu even went to make trouble once, but was easily dismissed by Mr. Wuji. I guess the two of them are Liangzi has a deep knot."

Tongzhuo nodded and said.

"Why did he suddenly become so high-profile? He left the good Jiuyou Realm alone and went to the capital to open a gambling shop. Is this because he has taken over the Jiuyou Realm and wants to take action on Tu Jiu?"

Li Jingyao said thoughtfully, with a hint of curiosity on her face.

"Does Your Highness know where his gambling house was?"

Tongzhuo asked slowly.

"Tell me and listen."

Li Jingyao asked curiously.

"Qingfeng Restaurant is exactly the restaurant where Mr. Wuji asked His Highness to meet three days ago."

Tongzhuo replied seriously.

"Things seem to be getting more and more interesting."

"Perhaps he is the first one in the capital who dares to challenge Tu Jiu?"

When Li Jingyao heard this, she couldn't help laughing and asked with interest.

"Yes, maybe he still doesn't know that Tu Jiu has a complicated relationship in the capital. This time he may be kicked on the iron plate."

Tongzhuo said with a smile, seeming to be a little gloating.

"I don't think so. If they really start a war, I bet he can win!"

"Thinking about it like this, I suddenly started to look forward to it."

Li Jingyao thought about it and said meaningfully, and the figure of Young Master Wuji appeared in her mind again.

Tongzhuo glanced at the intoxicated Taiqing, moved his lips, but stopped talking.

"By the way, the Qianguo delegation is about to enter Beijing, right?"

Li Jingyao was silent for a moment and asked again.

"Your Highness, you should be on the way back. You should be able to arrive in the capital on the fifteenth of this month."

Tongzhuo thought for a moment and answered slowly.

After listening, Li Jingyao nodded slightly and slowly leaned on the couch, thinking about something. Her mood had completely eased, and she always had a smile on her lips.

...

Yunxiao Palace.

The empress was leaning on the couch, resting her forehead on one hand and taking a nap.

"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that the Minister of Civil Affairs and Mrs. Xue, the mother of Marquis Liyang, are still kneeling outside the palace. They refuse to leave no matter how much they are persuaded. They insist that your Majesty seek justice for their late son."

Ye Han, the commander of the Red Fish Guards, walked in slowly, bowed his hands and said softly.

Hearing Ye Han's words, the empress reluctantly raised her eyelids, with a hint of irritation between her brows again.

"What day is it?"

The empress rubbed her forehead and asked in a deep voice.

"Today is already the third day. It seems that if His Majesty insists on not seeing them, they will come again tomorrow."

Yehan replied helplessly.

"I have so many things to do all day long, and I can't even deal with the court affairs, how can I have time to help them get justice? Hasn't the Five Elements Department already accepted the case of their two families?!"

The empress frowned and asked impatiently.

"That's true, but it seems that the Five Elements Division has never found any evidence to find out who the murderer is."

"One was the son of a minister, and the other was the distinguished Marquis of Liyang. Not only were they killed on the same night, but according to the conclusion drawn by the autopsy, the time when they were killed was no more than half an hour, which is indeed a bit strange. "

"If you think about it, the murderer is by no means simple and cannot leave any obvious clues."

Ye Han nodded and made a brief analysis.

"Since we can't find the murderer, let the Five Elements Division find a way to identify the murderer. We can't let the two of them bother me every day, right?!"

The empress narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice.

"This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find the murderer, otherwise it will be difficult to be convincing."

Ye Han hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Although the meaning of the empress' words was not made clear, Ye Han had already understood its meaning.

"You go out and tell them two, just say that I already know it, and let them rest assured that I will definitely give them a satisfactory result!"

"Tell them not to come again tomorrow, otherwise I will punish them with the crime of disrespect!"

The empress waved her hands and said impatiently.

"yes."

Ye Han agreed and slowly exited the hall.

Watching Ye Han leave, the empress shook her head helplessly. It was expected that the relatives of Marquis Li Yang would come to the palace to ask for an audience, but she did not expect that the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs was also killed on the same night. And so far no clues have been found.

...

The next day.

Las Vegas.

A carriage slowly stopped in front of the building, and a handsome young man dressed as a man got out of the carriage. He was dressed in brocade and satin, and his innate nobility could not be concealed in his movements.

A sword-wielding guard followed beside him, always keeping one step away.

"Las Vegas?"

"What does this mean?"

The young man raised his head and glanced at the plaque above his head, looking puzzled.

"Sounds like a language from the Western Regions?"

The guard shook his head, looking equally confused.

"No matter, let's go in first and talk later."

The young man smiled, shook his head, and walked towards the building.

The guard hurriedly followed.

As soon as they stepped into the building, the two of them were surrounded by a loud noise. Hundreds of gamblers were spread across the first and second floors, each with their eyes shining and full of greed.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them were attracted by the novelties on the gambling table, looking left and right, and even the guard, who had always been taciturn and cold-faced, became interested.

At this moment, a middle-aged man slowly came up to the two of them and bowed respectfully to the young man.

"Sir, please come upstairs."
