"Previously, he was concealing his strength for Consort Duan. Now, I think he doesn't want to pretend anymore."
It was hard to say if it was Wei Ziyao's influence.
No matter what, Ki Chien-chul did give people a bright impression.
They didn't dare to say that he could take on big responsibilities.
But now, it seemed that he wasn't bad at all.
"Your Majesty, let's not think about this. The person who begged for mercy has already come, and you have a way out. It's time to rest."
Yes, the person who begged for mercy had come. The stone in his heart had been lifted, and it was time to rest.
.....
Ki Chien-chul and Wei Ziyao left the palace and went home hand in hand.
They walked back.
Luo Yichen was driving the carriage, but he was chased away by the two of them.
The two of them walked hand in hand on the streets in the middle of the night under curfew. It actually felt quite romantic.
"You still have to go to the yamen tomorrow morning. If you delay like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep for long."
"It's fine. We've been too busy recently and haven't had time to get close. It's good to walk like this once in a while."
The two of them, ever since they got to know each other, had always quarreled. They didn't have a single day of peace.
They had never taken a quiet stroll like this before.
"Oh right, the constable has some leads on Wei Shuo's matter."
They had just agreed to walk around quietly.
Suddenly, they started talking about serious matters.
"What leads?"
"It's about Lord Wang's wife. The constable said that none of the constables under him knew about gu. Moreover, he was the one who personally led the team to capture Wei Shuo that day. The people he brought were all people he knew, and no one could make a move halfway. So … he suspects that this matter has something to do with Lady Wang."
With that said … Wei Ziyao really felt that Lady Wang was suspicious.
"Now that you mention it, you're right. Wei Shuo said that he arrived at the Wang Residence in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he heard the madam's screams. If that's the case, before the Six Fan School, this woman was the only one who came into contact with Wei Shuo. Therefore, it's very likely that she took away the child worm in Wei Shuo's body."
"I grew up in Shengjing and have been a member of the Royal Highness for so many years, but I didn't know that there are so many people who use Gu in Shengjing. What is the purpose of these people hiding in Shengjing? They have been dormant for so many years. Why did they suddenly start to stir up trouble?"
Ki Chien-chul's mind was in a mess. "I claim to be smart, but I still can't figure out the purpose of these people."
"That's enough. You've just become the Minister of Justice and you're already worrying about the country and the people? Didn't you say that you would accompany me for a walk? Are you accompanying me to relax, or should I accompany you to worry? "
Wei Ziyao didn't want him to keep thinking about these things. The key was that these things were indeed troublesome.
"Don't think about it anymore. These things aren't as important as accompanying my wife."
Ki Chien-chul was just talking about how important it was to accompany his wife when the constable rushed over in a hurry.
"Minister!"
"What's the matter?"
"Minister, someone from Lady Wang's residence just reported that Lady Wang hanged herself. There was also a letter of divorce left on the table."
After he finished speaking, the constable handed the letter of divorce over.
In fact, Wei Ziyao had already guessed that this clue was useless. If Lady Wang was really the person who took away the gu worm, then their purpose was simple.
This showed that their goal was not simple. After playing such a big game of chess, how could they be so casually caught by others?
