"His Highness Prince Ni was rushed back to the palace after being assassinated. His life is currently safe, but the assassin was agile and escaped on the spot, and his whereabouts remain unknown. As for why the young lady was at the crime scene, there is no definite information at this time. She has now been returned to the palace."
Wei Ying asked his men to continue gathering information.
Qingli pondered for a moment and said, "The most urgent thing now is to find out why Wei Yan appeared there."
The two immediately rushed to the courtyard where Wei Yan lived and asked the maid, only to find out that Wei Yan had locked herself in the house since returning to her room and refused to see anyone.
Qingli said to Wei Ying, "You go back first, I'll go see her." "Okay, I'll go back to the house and wait for you."
Qingli came to the door and said softly, "Wei Yan, it's my sister-in-law. Open the door. I have something to tell you."
After a long time, the door slowly opened. Wei Yan's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried.
Qingli took Wei Yan's hand, sat beside the bed, and said softly, "Yan'er, what happened? Tell your sister-in-law the truth. Your sister-in-law and your brother will help you."
Wei Yan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly, "Sister-in-law, I... the person I like is Tian Hao, the son of the Shanhou family, the family of the Eighth Prince's maternal grandfather. Today, I made an appointment with him to hike in the mountains outside the city, but unexpectedly, we encountered the assassination of Prince Ren. The scene was extremely chaotic, and I don't know how I got caught up in it."
Qingli was shocked. She didn't expect that Wei Yan's lover had such a background.
What a coincidence! They happened to be members of the Tian family.
Moreover, this girl was unwilling to get married last year, but this year she changed her attitude and found a lover.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What about Mr. Tian? How is he now? Is he injured?"
Wei Yan shook her head. "I don't know. It was so chaotic at the time and we got separated. Sister-in-law, will I bring trouble to the Duke's Mansion? I really didn't mean it..." As she spoke, Wei Yan started crying again.
Qingli comforted him, "Don't cry. Now that it has happened, we have to find a way to solve it. You should have a good rest first. Your brother and I will take care of it."
After leaving Wei Yan's courtyard, Qingli and Wei Ying returned to the main courtyard to discuss countermeasures. Wei Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Since they are from the Tian family, Prince Ren can't harm his own maternal family. However, Wei Yan happened to be involved in Prince Ren's assassination case, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."
Qingli pondered for a moment and said, “Since Wei Yan and Tian Hao have separated, she should not be deeply involved.
Let's first find out the specific circumstances of the time. Furthermore, the assassination of Prince Ren would surely cause a stir in the court, and the Duke's Mansion would be drawn into unnecessary disputes.
And once Wei Yan's incident comes out, I'm afraid we'll be forced to side with the Eighth Prince's lineage."
Qingli had previously thought Wei Yan was in love with a poor young man, so she kept it to herself. But it turned out she was very selective and directly chose the Tian family. The relationship with the Concubine Shu's family was very sensitive. If Wei Yan and Tian Hao really got married, others would have second thoughts.
And how did Tian Hao meet Zhao Yu when he asked Wei Yan out? Zhao Yu didn't seem like someone who liked hiking.
Wei Ying nodded. "You're right. I'll send someone to find out Tian Hao's background. Wei Yan's secretive travels have always been a bit strange. But, could there be someone behind this deliberately targeting our Duke's Mansion?"
Qingli could only prepare for the worst. She had never heard of Tian Hao before, so she had to ask her subordinates to gather some information.
Just as they were discussing, a servant came to report that an imperial decree had come from the palace, ordering Wei Ying to go to the palace to see the emperor immediately.
One needs to change clothes to enter the palace. After Wei Ying put on his clothes, Qingli helped him sort out his clothes and told him to be careful.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Well, I'm at ease with your work and will wait for you to come back for dinner."
"Okay, wait for me. If it's too late, don't wait for me. Don't go hungry."
Wei Ying hugged his wife and turned to walk out.
