Chu Liuyue calculated her options in her head before she nodded truthfully. “You’ve got your ear on the ground, Young Master Jian.”
Jian Fengchi raised his eyebrows before he smiled cryptically. “It’s a coincidence, but I found out about this by accident. It was… On the day it was taken.”
Chu Liuyue froze! “Young Master Jian knows who stole the bronze cauldron?”
Light rippled in Jian Fengchi’s eyes. “Earlier, I said that I saw it coincidentally… Of course, that person’s face was covered, so I didn’t get a clear look.”
“I can only confirm that it’s a man and that he’s a stage-six warrior. As for the rest… I’m not sure.”
“Did you see where that person headed with the bronze cauldron?”
“That…” Jian Fengchi paused, then shrugged. “I only took another look because I was surprised to find a stage-six warrior here. Who cares about that bronze cauldron?”
He didn’t know that thing was that important then. By the time he realized something was amiss, the other party had disappeared.
Chu Liuyue sighed when she confirmed that he was telling the truth. “No matter what, thank you.”

This matter had nothing to do with Jian Fengchi, so it was normal for him not to pay attention.
“But if you really want to find that person… It’s not like I can’t help.”
Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Didn’t you say that you didn’t get a good look…”
Jian Fengchi gave her a wry smile. “It seems like Ms. Chu has forgotten what I do?”
“You left something on that person?”
Jian Fengchi flicked her on the forehead. “Smart!”
“So, do you want my help? You have three days anyway, and I don’t have anything to do.”
Chu Liuyue pulled her lips into a sincere smile. “Of course! Thank you, Young Master Jian! When all this is over, I’ll offer you my proper thanks!”
Jian Fengchi shuddered.
“If you really go…” Jian Fengchi muttered.
“Go where?” Chu Liuyue asked gently as if she didn’t understand his expression.
Jian Fengchin pointed in the direction that Mu Qinghe left. “Remember when I told you that you resembled an old friend?”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
Jian Fengchi felt much better when he imagined that scene in his head.
“It’s fine! Enough of that! Since you’re so anxious, I’ll help you find it!” With that, he pulled out a small bell.
The bell was the size of a thumb and was carved out of malachite.
Through the gaps of the carving, Chu Liuyue could see that something was gently hitting the bell and clanging.
Jian Fengchi concentrated on the sound, and an excited expression appeared on his face as he looked toward Chu Liuyue. “That person is still in the Imperial City.”
…
In the palace, the atmosphere was a lot more tense.

Situ Xingchen was once again locked up in a dark and damp dungeon.
Blessing Palace had been burned down, so she was locked up in another place. However, Emperor Jiawen had added more manpower.
There were guards keeping watch of Situ Xingchen within a ten-step radius all day.
Situ Xingchen had lost an arm and a leg, so she could only lie on the floor pathetically, sleeping and waking.
Every time she opened her eyes, she hoped that she would be in a different place. However, it never happened.
“I didn’t expect the Third Prince to really start an armed rebellion! I wonder if the conflict will reach the palace…” A worried voice echoed.
Situ Xingchen paused. She realized that the guards watching her were discussing something in hushed voices.
“Yeah! No wonder His Majesty was so wary of him and even sentenced him to death by execution… His Majesty had seen this coming?”
“So what? Didn’t he escape from the Northwest Army? I heard that they were fighting outside the city gates! The Northwest Army is battle-tested and not scared to die! They also came prepared! I think they have a good chance of winning!”
“Not necessarily! Besides the imperial guards, there are also the strong warriors from the big families! How can they be beaten so easily?”
“I heard that some people have escaped.. It’s a pity that we have to stand guard here, or we could also find a chance—Ugh!” Before the person could finish, he made a short, sharp cry!
“You are…” Before the remaining person could finish his sentence, they were dead.
Situ Xingchen looked up immediately!
