The problem lies in 7.

  "Alright, I understand!" Xiang Die didn't know about the "door handle incident" in the bathroom.

  She just felt that a woman entering a man's bathroom in the middle of the night wasn't something to be loudly publicized, and it was better to keep a low profile. Lowering her head to look at the clothes in her hand, "Is this lost?"

  "After washing it clean, put it away." Nalan Lian withdrew her gaze and slowly closed her eyes, seemingly entering a dreamland.

  "What? This dress has been worn before, what's it doing here?"

  Xiang Die glanced at her clothes and then looked at Na Lan Lian, seeing that he seemed to be asleep. She didn't ask any more questions and carried the clothes upstairs.

  The sun slowly rises from the east, its golden light gradually illuminating the earth.

  The Crown Prince's residence.

  A man in a golden robe, Nalan Junchao, walked into the study from outside. The sunlight shone on his face, revealing faint creases between his eyebrows, which made him look more majestic despite his apparent fatigue.

  He sat down in the study and asked the people following behind him, "How was the interrogation? Has anyone revealed who leaked out the hunting incident that day?"

  Standing in front of the desk was a middle-aged man around forty years old with a pale complexion. His name was Zhang Ning, and he was the steward of the Crown Prince's mansion.

  He used to attend the Empress Dowager, but after her death, he was assigned to take care of Nalan Xingde. After Nalan Xingde came of age and had his own mansion, he brought him out from the palace and made him the chief steward of the Crown Prince's mansion.

  "They all invited, saying it was leaked by themselves." Zhang Ning's voice had the sharp and delicate tone unique to palace eunuchs.

  "Are they all recruited?" Nalan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with this result.

  Zhang Ning bowed his head, "Yes, previously they all denied it, but later under severe torture, one by one they all said it was themselves who leaked the information. In my humble opinion, I'm afraid they were all unable to withstand the punishment and falsely confessed."

  "Damn it!" Nalan Jun slapped his palm on the table, and under the great force, the pens, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table jumped up several times.

  Zhang Ning was startled, fortunately having served by Nalan Jun's side for many years, she already knew his temperament. She continued: "Your Highness, how can we deal with those people now? We can't keep them locked up in prison forever."

  "Since everyone has admitted it! Then let's kill him!" Nalan Jun's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, and the chill emanating from his body revealed that he was in a very bad mood.

  Zhang Ning responded and looked at his face, thinking of something else, but didn't know if it was suitable to say it out loud at this time.

  Nalan Jun swept a glance over him, "Is there anything else you need to report?"

  He asked, and Zhang Ning no longer hesitated, reporting: "Your Highness last time ordered me to pay more attention to Miss Ming's whereabouts. In the past few days, Miss Ming has indeed gone out once,"

  He carefully took a look at Nalan Jun, seeing that although his face was not gloomy, he was still listening to himself speak, obviously interested in this matter, and continued: "She went to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion."

  "What?" Nalan Jyun's gaze swept over, carrying a hint of thin anger.

  Zhang Ning didn't know why the Crown Prince, who had never paid attention to Ming Xiaojie before, was suddenly paying attention to her. But Ming Xiaojie's actions of going to Zui Xian Lou were indeed surprising.

  "Zui Xian Lou. But judging from the looks of it, he should be looking for Ming Shizi, and after entering for about half an hour, he came out with Ming Shizi together." Zhang Ning said.
