Chapter 298 Isn’t This Just Leaving the Fish to the Cat to Look After?

Ning Chen organized his words in his mind and said, "Your Majesty! I have a clue about the case of the fairy powder."

The Emperor Xuan was slightly startled, "Isn't the case of the fairy powder closed?"

The fairy powder was made by Prince Fu and the Queen. Now that the two are dead, the case is naturally closed.

The Emperor Xuan didn't want to mention these two people. When he thought of the ugly things they did, he wanted to dig them out and whip their corpses.

Ning Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty! Prince Fu and the Queen are dead, but the source of the fairy powder has not been found."

"Your Majesty, have you seen what people who smoke fairy powder look like? This thing is very harmful. It must be eradicated and the source must be eliminated."

The Emperor Xuan naturally knew the horror of the fairy powder, which could make a person become neither human nor ghost.

More than 30 court officials were dragged into the water. Thinking of this incident, the Emperor Xuan is still in shock.

Fortunately, Ning Chen discovered it early, otherwise the court officials would be controlled by the fairy powder, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Emperor Xuan asked, "Have you found the source?"

Ning Chen nodded, "According to the report of the spies of the Supervisory Department, the source of the fairy powder is in Xiuzhou."

Emperor Xuan frowned, "Xiuzhou?"

"Your Majesty! Xiuzhou has a humid climate, which is very suitable for growing fairy flowers?"

"Fairy flowers?"

"Your Majesty, the fairy powder is extracted from fairy flowers."

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Fairy powder is very harmful and must be eradicated... In this way, I will issue an order to let Prince Duan investigate thoroughly."

Ning Chen's expression froze.

Fuck! ! !

Let Prince Duan investigate?

Isn't this like giving the fish to a cat to take care of?

The reason why he didn't say that Prince Duan had a problem was because Zi Su had no evidence.

He believed Zi Su's words, but His Majesty might not believe it, after all, it was about the prince.

So, his plan was to get the evidence of Prince Duan's guilt first, and then report to His Majesty.

It seems that the mastermind behind the fairy powder case is Prince Fu and the Queen.

But the one who planted the fairy flower was Prince Duan, so this guy might be the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Once it is confirmed, it would be strange if His Majesty didn't cut Prince Duan into pieces.

At that time, Zi Su's assassination of Prince Duan would not be a big deal. Maybe His Majesty would ask why Zi Su didn't shoot the traitor to death?

And once Prince Duan's treason is confirmed, it will help Yudie and Zi Su's father to be vindicated.

When His Majesty knows that he has wronged an honest official, he will inevitably feel guilty. Zi Su will be the only one left in the Yan family. At that time, he will ask His Majesty for mercy and there is a high probability that Zi Su will be rescued.

Maybe Yudie can be exempted from slavery.

Ning Chen leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Duan is of noble status and has a great reputation in Xiuzhou. Many people know him, and there must be many people watching his every move."

"I think this case should be investigated in secret, and we must not alert the enemy and give the other party the opportunity to destroy the evidence."

"I am willing to go to Xiuzhou and secretly investigate this case. Please grant me permission, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuan looked at him, "You just came down from the battlefield, take a good rest for a few days... Let others investigate this matter."

Ning Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty, I am not tired! I can't sit still, and the most important thing is that I want to share your worries!"

"I have been investigating the case of the fairy powder, and others don't know the situation... So, please grant me permission to continue investigating, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Quan looked disgusted, thinking, look at you? And the most important thing... You feel uncomfortable if you don't flatter me for a day, right?

Emperor Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a smile on his face.

"I was thinking of letting you rest for a while, but since you can't stay idle, I'll let you continue investigating this case... As long as you don't say I'm mean to you."

Ning Chen hurriedly said, "I'm so happy to be able to share your majesty's worries!"

"Well, I'll order Prince Duan to help you!"

Fuck! ! !

Prince Duan again?

He took your throne that day, let's see if you can still be Prince Duan? Ning Chen complained in his heart.

"Your Majesty! The matter of the magic powder is of great importance. I want to investigate it secretly and not give the enemy a chance to react. I want to wipe him out all at once."

"Prince Duan is too prominent and it is not suitable for him to show up."

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Okay! I'll do as you say. You will be fully responsible for this case... You decide how to investigate. The magic powder is related to the country. I am waiting for your good news!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best and live up to your trust."

After Ning Chen finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I have another request?"

"Tell me, what is it?"

Ning Chen said, "I want to ask Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree, asking me to go to the border to handle military affairs. "

Emperor Xuan was startled, but soon understood, "You want to cover up your tracks, and go to the border on the surface, but actually go to Xiuzhou?"

"Yes!"

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Okay, the imperial decree will be sent to the Supervisory Office tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's getting late, Your Majesty should rest early, the dragon's body is important, I will take my leave first."

"Wait a moment!" Emperor Xuan said, looking at Eunuch Quan, "Go and get the sword."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Quan walked over in small steps, took the sword from the sword rack with both hands and walked back.

Emperor Xuan tapped Ning Chen with his chin and said, "Give it to him!"

Eunuch Quan handed the sword to Ning Chen.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen and said, "I will not issue a clear order to investigate the case of the magic powder... Bring the imperial sword, I will allow you to kill first and report later."

"But remember, don't abuse it."

Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I obey your order!"

Emperor Xuan nodded and waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave!"

Ning Chen took a few steps back and turned to leave.

Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickered, "Quan Sheng, do you think Ning Chen is hiding something from me?"

"I always feel that this kid should know something? He didn't tell me the truth... I hope it's not what I guessed?"

Eunuch Quan said subconsciously: "Then he is guilty of deceiving the emperor, he should be arrested and punished with thirty boards."

Emperor Xuan glanced at him, "Are you still worried about what he asked you to avoid just now?"

Eunuch Quan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and was scared and sweating. He was terrified, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I deserve to die!"

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "It's harmless, I don't blame you!"

"But speaking of it, who among the civil and military officials in the court has not committed the crime of deceiving the emperor? Don't think that they are eager to take out their hearts in front of me. In fact, they have their own little tricks in their hearts. They have done a lot of things that are hypocritical. Do you really think I don't know?"

"As long as they don't go too far, I don't bother to care."

Emperor Xuan stood up and stretched his body, "I am also a little tired... Hmm? Quan Sheng, did I forget something?"

Eunuch Quan looked at Emperor Xuan and pretended to be stupid... He didn't know what the emperor was talking about? He didn't dare to speculate rashly.

"I remember! I asked Ning Chen to talk about the border, but this kid interrupted me and I forgot everything... Forget it, let him talk later."

"Quan Sheng, I'm going to rest at Concubine Wan's place tonight!"

Ever since taking the medicine given to him by Ning Chen, Emperor Xuan feels like he has returned to his twenties.

Eunuch Quan said hurriedly, "Yes, I will send someone to pass it on right away!"
