The Prince Bride's

53. Don't Cover.

Qian Yue took her foot into the royal hall, she came the most recently as the prime ministers and princes were already preparing for their respective positions.

Qian Yue glanced for a moment at Su Ho whose face looked unfriendly, Su Ho was upset that his plans lately had always failed in injuring Lan Hua.

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"

The announcement from the eunuch made everyone immediately pay their respects to the king.

"Greet His Majesty may His Majesty live a long life."

After the king sat down, they all stood up straight.

"General Chen, how about security in the west?"

The western border was recently attacked by a neighboring kingdom who had no idea what the problem was, which is why now generals are tasked with bringing in elite forces to secure the border.

"It's safe, Sire, General Sen has gone to our barracks to apologize for the attack. So it's been confirmed that the west is safe."

The king nodded his head.

"Then how is the investigation about the fire in the third prince's residence?"

A middle-aged man took one step forward and raised in front of his two hands to salute.

"Bureau chief investigator Yang Liu saluted him to pass on the information."

"What information did you get Yang Liu?"

"The fire came from Your Majesty's kitchen, we suspect the waiter in the kitchen forgot to cook so that the fire hit the oil and continued to spread to other parts. Whereas from this fire there were ten servants of the residence who died."

"You sure?" the question came from Qian Yue, no matter if anyone should not interrupt when anyone gives a report.

But this report from the head of the research bureau is very unfounded. Qian Yue herself had already known from the beginning if her residence would be burnt down, even who the mastermind was she already knew. Then with the results of an investigation like this, of course he is not satisfied at all.

Qian Yue chuckled, "Then how are you going to explain about the doors and windows that are locked from the outside?"

Along with the incident, the doors and windows were all locked from the outside. The fire spread very quickly and burned everything. Most people have not been able to save themselves but are not aware because of the thick puff of smoke, so the victims reached ten lives.

"Sorry Prince but there doesn't seem to be such an incident."

"Then what kind of events are there? Is there a waiter who's cooking at that hour?"

It's a little weird if the waiter cooks at that hour, though, after all, if the fire happened from the kitchen and it was purely an accidental fire, it would be quickly known and everyone would have time to save themselves. It won't be until the entire residence is burned down.

When all the doors were locked from the outside, smoke soared inside that they had all fainted before they had any way to escape.

"Sorry Your Majesty and the Prince, it seems the bureau of inquiry has concluded too early. I'm gonna go investigate again, until everything's really in sight."

Qian Yue glanced at Su Ho who had a sour face.

"Of course the investigation bureau has to find the criminal, so that he can be immediately punished" Qian Yue said with great emphasis.

This bureau chief investigator Yang Liu did not have any allied relations with Su Ho, but he was the brother of Yan Xunlong so he still protected them.
