Shen Wanyue said: "I heard that Brother Yi passed out. I want to go see him."
Shen Chi raised his eyebrows and said: "The regent is fine, and in order to allow the third princess to recover from her injuries, the regent has issued an order that no one is allowed to visit. You can just send someone to send the things over, and there is no need for people to go."
Shen Wanyue was stunned and looked aggrieved: "Can't even Yan Yan go and see it?"
Chen Chi said: "You know the regent's temper. Even if you go there, you won't be able to enter the gate of the regent's palace, so why bother to hit the wall?"
Shen Wanyue lowered her eyes and said, "But Yan Yan is worried about Brother Yi."
Chen Chi glanced at her and said in a calm voice: "The regent today is no longer the Xiao Chengyi of the past, and you are not the Yan Yan of the past. It's better not to force some things."
Shen Wanyue suddenly raised her head, looked at Shen Chi in front of her, and asked with confusion: "What does uncle mean by this?"
Shen Chi sighed and said: "There are many variables in the world. I just want to advise you to be more open-minded. If you don't like to hear it, just pretend that my uncle never said it."
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, on the day the third princess was killed, why did you want to come to Dali Temple to see me?"
Hearing these words, Shen Wanyue suddenly shivered.
That day, she entered Dali Temple through the help of someone who was delivering food to Shen Chi. Coincidentally, Shen Chi was not there at the time, so she went to the dungeon.
The yamen in the dungeon knew that she was Shen Chi's niece, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her, and she thoughtfully gave them a bottle of wine.
In fact, the pot of wine had been poisoned. After seeing the third princess, she sprinkled the kerosene she had prepared in advance into the prison and set the dungeon on fire.
The three government officials had already been poisoned and were confirmed to have been burned to death, so no one knew that she had been to the dungeon.
After she came out, she left Dali Temple. At that time, no one had noticed that the dungeon was on fire. She thought that everything she did was perfect, but she didn't expect that Shen Chi would still suspect her.
Shen Wanyue almost forgot that her father was the first person in the world to judge the case.
After a brief panic, she calmed down and said: "Auntie knew that you wanted to investigate the case of the third princess and was worried that you wouldn't eat well, so Yan Yan ran over to the house without anything to do.
It's just that you weren't there when I went, so I waited in the room for a while. I saw that it was a little late, so I left first if you didn't reply."
Shen Chi went to ask Mu Xuechu. She was indeed worried that he would have to be busy all night and not eat well, but it was Yan Yan who took the initiative to bring him supper.
He was also fully aware of the previous conflicts between the third princess and Yan Yan.
So he suspected that Yan Yan set the fire in the dungeon, but the government officials guarding the dungeon were all dead, so there was no witness.
He looked at Shen Wanyue in front of him. His niece had changed since she came to Nanyue. Although he didn't spend much time with the former Yan Yan, he could still feel it.
Shen Chi didn't want to believe that the fire in the dungeon was related to Yan Yan, but he would always find out the truth of the matter.
Seeing that Shen Chi was silent, Shen Wanyue asked tentatively: "Why do you ask, uncle? But you suspect that Yan Yan is related to the fire in the dungeon?"
Shen Chi said: "No, I just asked out of curiosity. Besides, who the murderer is will be revealed soon.
The third princess is no longer in fear of her life. When she wakes up, she will know who the murderer is. The capital has not been peaceful recently. You should have a good rest at home and do not move around at will."
After leaving these words, he turned around and walked away.
However, Shen Wanyue was stunned on the spot, her heart racing with panic. What should she do? If the third princess wakes up, she will definitely not let her go.
Seeing Shen Wanyue not moving, the little maid behind her asked, "Princess, are we still going?"
Shen Wanyue gritted her teeth and said, "Go."
She couldn't sit still and wait for death.
Then the master and servant left the house.
Not far away, Shen Chi stood at the corner door and watched Shen Wanyue leading the maid out of the mansion. He squinted his eyes, then stretched out his hand to summon a secret guard, and ordered: "Go, keep an eye on Princess Protector, don't Discovered by her."
