Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Investigating Old Events at Xingshan Temple

Chu Nanli looked towards Chu Yi with a solemn expression and said, "I need you to check who visited the Xingshan Temple on the night of February 17th this year. Approximately what time did Ye Yunting and I arrive, and when did we leave? The most important point is to find out the reason Ye Yunting was there, as well as his physical and mental state at that time."

Ye Yunting was extremely repelled by everything that happened that night, so much so that she sometimes doubted whether the original host’s memory was inaccurate. But there was no doubt that the original host was pregnant, and it was Ye Yunting’s child she was carrying.

Therefore, the problem must be with Ye Yunting.

Since Ye Yunting denied that the child in her belly was his, she had to prepare the evidence thoroughly. When the day came for her to lay everything out, she wanted to have evidence to throw in Ye Yunting’s face, to stop the bastard from shamelessly trying to smear her.

Chu Yi wasn’t foolish; on the contrary, he was very clever.

Hearing Chu Nanli’s instructions, even if he couldn’t guess the specifics of what had happened, he realized the importance of the matter to Chu Nanli.

Immediately, he replied, "I’ve noted everything. Should this task be carried out in secret?"

"Yes, we can’t draw attention, especially avoid the eyes of the War God Residence."

"Should we entrust the Tianji Pavilion?"

Chu Nanli shook her head, "Although the Tianji Pavilion is a reliable intelligence agency, this matter is too important to entrust entirely to them. You can only break the event into several smaller ones and commission them separately."

Chu Yi nodded, "Understood, I will do as instructed."

Chu Nanli looked down, concealing the expression in her eyes.

She had asked Tianji Pavilion to help find the token holders, which also carried certain risks, but it was different from this matter.

That token was related to the Chu Kingdom, and even if Tianji Pavilion helped her find the token holders, they may not be able to unveil her real identity.

However, the incident at Xingshan Temple involved the War God of the Xia Kingdom. With the Tianji Pavilion’s headquarters in the Capital City of Xia Kingdom, it’s hard to ensure that the backers of Tianji Pavilion aren’t the powerhouses of Xia Kingdom. If Ye Yunting found out she was investigating that night’s events, not only would she fail to find any evidence, but she might also provoke Ye Yunting to take action against her.

Therefore, she had to be cautious.

After giving her instructions, Chu Nanli planned not to stay much longer.

Xinlian came in and said, "My lady, you were absolutely stunning in the red dress at the Spring Banquet. I’ve prepared two more outfits for you."

Chu Nanli was on guard, "Is it another red dress?"

That wouldn’t do at all.

Red dresses were too ostentatious, not suitable for her to wear in the War God Residence. She worried that Lin Fuying would become envious upon seeing it, and then go whispering into Ye Yunting’s ear, leading him to trouble her and thereby delaying her affairs.

Xinlian couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"My lady, you truly stand out. Which other women wouldn’t want to wear their most beautiful dresses and their most beautiful hairpins? But you, always opting for simplicity and even rejecting the most beautiful attire."

Chu Nanli claimed innocence.

"It’s not that I reject it..."

Xinlian cut in, "It’s just that you won’t wear it."

Chu Nanli: "..."

Well, she had no comeback.

After being "brazen" for a moment, Xinlian returned to the main topic.

"The two dresses are both in the simple style you like. They’re not too flamboyant, but they aren’t too plain either, befitting your status as Princess Consort."

She vividly remembered how much hostility that concubine named Lin Fuying from the War God Residence had towards her mistress at the Spring Banquet.

As subordinates without the power to stand up for their mistress, they could only strategize for her in other ways.

The clothes, her mistress had to dress better than that concubine.

Chu Nanli, unaware of Xinlian’s thoughts, asked her to bring the clothes over for inspection.

Xinlian personally went to fetch the dresses and quickly returned.

The two dresses, one was dark crow-blue, and the other was light purple silk with a mandarin collar.

One elegant and graceful, the other luxurious and noble.

Chu Nanli contradicted herself immediately.

"Xinlian, your taste really aligns with mine perfectly."

Unable to contain her amusement, Xinlian smiled, "I’m glad you like them."

After visiting the Bright Moon Building for this errand, not only did she give her instructions, but she also acquired a collection of medicinal herbs and two beautiful dresses, leaving Chu Nanli in high spirits.

"There are quite a few things to carry. Chu Yi, you’ll have to trouble yourself with sending me back to the residence."

Afterwards, not wanting to reveal her spatial ability, Chu Nanli changed into the dark crow-blue dress and left the Bright Moon Building through the back door with Chu Yi.

However, her good mood came to an abrupt end upon seeing Ye Yunting and Bai Wuheng.
