"Wan'er, what are you doing?" Li Chenghuan asked in confusion

"That criminal Lin An, who was guilty of such heinous crimes, actually dared to escape from the imperial prison!"

"I was blind to acknowledge him as my brother!"

"But he is related to me after all, so I am here to apologize to Your Majesty!" Murong Wanqing was full of regret.

Li Chenghuan smiled and said,"You were promoted by me and have been with me for so many years. How can I not trust you?"

"Lin An and you have no blood relationship. You just don't know people well, which is not a crime."

""Get up! I pardon you!"

Murong Wanqing pretended to be happy and said,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She could foresee this result.

She could choose not to plead guilty, but she had to show this attitude to the empress.

While reviewing the memorials, Li Chenghuan asked,"How is Concubine Liu doing?"

"Everything has been handled, and we are just waiting for His Majesty to choose a date for burial."

"Ask the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to choose a date, so as not to make Concubine Liu wait too long."

"Here!"

After giving the instructions, Li Chenghuan continued to review the memorials.

"Your Majesty, let Wan'er grind the ink for you!"

Li Chenghuan nodded.

Murong Wanqing happily stepped forward and ground the ink for her.

While grinding the ink, she said,"Your Majesty, has the criminal Lin An been caught?"

"No! He has already escaped from Luodu." Li Chenghuan sighed:"And there is news from the Jinyiwei that Lin An may have inherited the [Witch] and learned witchcraft!"

Murong Wanqing took a breath of cold air. She only knew it now.

But she thought about everything Lin An had done before, it should be witchcraft.

She had also heard of this [Witch]. That witch cult caused a big disturbance back then and many people died.

The entire Jingchu area was empty.

Until now, the population of Jingchu has barely exceeded one million, less than one-tenth of the original population.

If Lin An is given time, he might be able to stir up a bigger storm!

Li Chenghuan stopped writing, turned his head and stared at her:"What? Still thinking about your brother?"

Murong Wanqing said in panic:"Your Majesty has misunderstood, I just want to help Your Majesty!"

"Oh? Do you know something?"Li Chenghuan asked with interest.

This sharp look made Murong Wanqing feel goosebumps.

She lowered her eyebrows and stopped looking at Li Chenghuan, then suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and pretended to be terrified:

"Actually, there is one more thing I haven't said......."

"Lin An actually came to my minister before"

"He also helped Ajinai connect with Chen."

"All the words he said were good for Rongdi."

"At that time, I didn't think there was a problem, after all, he was my brother."

"Now it seems that he is really colluding with Rongdi"

"The attack on the imperial prison this time might have been the work of the Rongdi"

"I wonder if he will go to the north to find Rongdi, and then spread the news of Ajinai's death, and then let the Rongdi army go south to deal with us!"

"Oh? Are you so sure that he won't hide? He has the inheritance of witch, why would he confront us head-on?"Li Chenghuan asked. Murong Wanqing

:"I know this brother too well, he is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses, it is impossible for him to hide."

"Moreover, he has developed his own power in Daqian and avoided our search. It is undoubtedly difficult for him to succeed."

"It would be better to surrender to the Rongdi tribe, and use Ajinai's death to gain Erile's appreciation and develop witchcraft in the Rongdi tribe."

"I think that the Khan of the Qiyan tribe, Erile, will never miss this golden opportunity to send troops to our Daqian!"

Li Chenghuan nodded.

Daqian and Rongdi have been at peace for a long time, and the Zhenbei Palace has been using trade to tame the common people and corrupt the upper class of Rongdi.

If this continues, Rongdi will sooner or later become a vassal of Daqian.

She also learned from the spies of the Jinyiwei in Rongdi that the newly appointed Khan Erile is not the kind of person who is greedy for pleasure.

He works hard to govern the country, strengthens his troops, and hopes to regain the glory of the Golden Family one day.

The most important thing is that their father was killed by Daqian, and he will never surrender to Daqian.

It is only because of the impact of trade that their people and nobles are unwilling to fight.

And the death of Ajinai is likely to trigger a war between the two countries.

Seeing this, Murong Wanqing stepped back and saluted, and struck while the iron was hot:

"I am willing to share your majesty's worries and personally capture the criminal Lin An and bring him to justice!"

Li Chenghuan said with a smile,"Wan'er is thoughtful. Let the Jinyiwei take care of capturing Lin An.""

"You are my right-hand man and Prime Minister. How can I ask you to do it yourself?"

Murong Wanqing shook her head and said,"Your Majesty, this guilty minister Lin An is, after all, my acknowledged brother."

"If I want to establish my authority in the court and avoid being criticized, the best way is to arrest him myself."

"And I have something unpleasant to say. Your Majesty's Royal Guards have been corrupt for many years. I don't know how much strength they have left."

"Look, the criminal Lin An escaped from the imperial prison. Maybe the Jinyiwei is not clean anymore."

"If they were allowed to pursue him, maybe Lin An would escape."

"Why not let me take action? At least based on my understanding of Lin An, there is a high probability that I can find him."

Murong Wanqing spoke earnestly.

A gleam of light flashed in Li Chenghuan's eyes, and then he sighed:

"All right! Since you insist, Wan'er, I agree!"

Murong Wanqing's face lit up:"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"But I have another request!"

Li Chenghuan said helplessly:"Hurry up and tell me!"

"Your Majesty also knows that the Jinyiwei is unreliable, so I need to find someone to help."

"who?"

""Zhenbei Palace!" Murong Wanqing explained:"The Xuanlong Guards of Zhenbei Palace are the elite in the entire Luodu, comparable to the Jinyi Guards. If they take action, there is absolutely a guarantee!"

"Moreover, Prince Wang Xuan is a perfect master, invincible below the supreme level. It will be easy for him to capture Lin An!"

""Oh? Did you have a rift with Wang Qing's family before?" Li Chenghuan asked in surprise.

Murong Wanqing said seriously:"That's just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning in the face of national affairs!"

"And now that I think about it, maybe it was the guilty minister Lin An who instigated the discord between me and Prince Wang Xuan."

"It seems that there is no deep hatred between me and Prince Wang Xuan."

"If Prince Wang Xuan minds, I am willing to apologize to him!"

Murong Wanqing looked sincere, and she looked like a loyal minister who had sacrificed herself for Daqian.

Li Chenghuan stared at her for a while until she felt uneasy, then he said:

"Okay! I'll ask Wang Qing's family for you and see if he's willing!"

As soon as the words fell, Murong Wanqing's face flashed with a smug look.......

In the training room of Zhenbei Palace,

Wang Xuan opened the system panel and checked his current attributes:

【Name: Wang Xuan】

【Realm: Perfect Grandmaster】

【Luck value: 2085000】

【Plunder Progress: Lin An (85%)、Chu Siyan (40%)】

The luck value is as high as 2,085,000 points!

""I've become rich!"

This was a number that I couldn't even imagine a few months ago!

Others were fine, but the biggest contribution was the [Alien Demon] thought, and the reward for my own understanding of the world. It contributed a total of two million points!

"I worked so hard to plan to plunder the luck value, but it's better to cheat!"Wang Xuan sighed.

But what made him happiest was that Lin An's plunder progress had reached 85%.

The remaining progress would probably take no longer.

"You are such an annoying little demon. This is your last time. I won't let you escape!" Wang Xuan licked his lips.

He was looking forward to what [ultimate reward] the system would give him after killing Lin An.

But before that, he decided to use the luck value to improve his strength.

Yes, he decided to have a lottery!

And he would choose the advanced lottery of 100,000 per time!

The elementary and intermediate levels were not enough for him now.

If it wasn't for the special lottery that couldn't use the luck value, he would have wanted to try it even if it was 1 million per time.

Who said he was rich!

"Brother Wuji! Give me a high-level lottery!"

A virtual disc appeared in front of Wang Xuan, and the pointer on it kept turning.

Wang Xuan saw the right moment and shouted:"Stop!"

At this time, the pointer slowly stopped, and the mechanical sound in his mind sounded:

【Consume the advanced lottery once, congratulations to the host for winning Sophie's Care Gift Pack*1!】

"Damn! Brother Wuji, you are kidding me!"

Thanks to [Jin Yi Ye Xing] for the update reminder! Thank you!!!
