Chapter 11 Qianyan Cooperation
The faint moonlight shines through the window paper, illuminating the two stunning figures in the room.

Yun Qianyi did not turn on the light. She leaned against the table, sitting face to face with Jun Yanci on the left side of the table. If they moved their legs slightly, they could touch each other's knees.

"Miss Yun is suspicious of Wen Jingxian, the eldest daughter of the Wen family."

He sat with his back to the light, and Yun Qianyi couldn't see Jun Yanci's face clearly.

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

Yun Qianyi did not answer him directly, but scratched his palm lightly with her fingers.

"Sister-in-law and my eldest brother have been married for ten years. They have been through thick and thin together and have a deep love for each other. She has also managed the Yun Mansion in an orderly manner and has never made any mistakes."

Her hand had been warmed by Jun Yanci, but he still did not let go of her. Yun Qianyi used the joint of her index finger to press against his base of the thumb, gently held his thumb, and rubbed it back and forth.

In the darkness, Jun Yanci rolled his Adam's apple, took over her words, and continued:

"Wen Jingxian is the daughter of Wen Zhou, the Minister of Revenue. The wife of the Wen family has three daughters and one son. Wen Jingxian also has two younger sisters who married the second and third princes as concubines."

Hearing this, Yun Qianyi raised the corners of her lips, grasped the back of his hand, and suddenly pulled it hard, so that their noses touched.

"How many concubines does the Crown Prince have?"

"I am not married yet."

"What about the concubine?"

"I am clean, inexperienced and have never been involved with women." Except you.

Jun Yanci was serious and took the matter seriously.

But Yun Qianyi was amused by him. She used a normal attack, and the opponent immediately dodged and used his ultimate. What the hell was he so inexperienced? Did she ask so many details? What was he thinking about?
"Go on."

She gently rubbed the other person's nose, seeming to be very satisfied with the answer.

"If the Wen family knew about my private relationship with Yun Xiuyi, they would indeed have a motive to attack him. But the Minister of Revenue is a cautious person, and he should not be so bold as to murder the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"What is the relationship between the three Wen sisters?"

"There are no rumors in the capital that the Wen sisters are not getting along. After Wen Jingxian got married, she loved her two sisters very much. But after they got married and entered the royal family, their interactions gradually became less and less."

Yun Qianyi tapped the back of Jun Yanci's hand with her index finger. This was always a small action she would make unconsciously when thinking.

Little did he know that these repeated touches made the owner of the hand in front of him feel itchy.

In order to divert attention, Jun Yanci continued to analyze with her:

"Three years ago, after Yun Xiuyi was injured and unable to stand up, he proposed to divorce Wen Jingxian, but she refused."

Yun Qianyi thought about it and realized that the person who could have poisoned Yun Xiuyi so secretly must be someone close to Yun Xiuyi. But regardless of whether Wen Jingxian had been disguising herself for ten years, in terms of her motive, why would she want to murder her own husband?

If the purpose was to remarry, then they could have parted ways amicably beforehand. Why take such a big risk and go through so much effort? This doesn't make sense at all.

"Perhaps it was not my sister-in-law's original intention, but she was used by someone with ulterior motives."

"What Miss Yun said is exactly what I thought."

Jun Yanci leaned forward and got closer to her. His nose was filled with her fragrance and his breath lingered on her.

"Isn't your waist sore?"

"I have a very strong waist."

Yun Qianyi chuckled and pulled her head back slightly, but who would have thought that the person in front of her actually followed her movements and moved forward a little bit.
So, she raised her hand and stretched out her index finger, just about to touch the tip of Jun Yanci's nose, but suddenly she remembered the night when he fell in front of her, bleeding profusely.

Instead, she moved her fingers to his forehead, pressed against his forehead, and pushed gently.

"You like sticking to me so much?"

"Mm, you smell nice."

Hearing this, Yun Qianyi raised his arm and smelled himself, but there was no smell.

Is it possible that his nose looks different from mine?
Looking at her cute movements, Jun Yanci smiled slightly.

"Could there be something wrong with the imperial physician?"

"Imperial physician?" Yun Qianyi was a little surprised. He hadn't heard his elder brother mention it just now. "The current emperor trusts Yun Xiuyi very much, so even though his health..." Jun Yanci paused for a moment, and then continued: "But he still entrusted the safety of the imperial city to him, and ordered the imperial physician to come to the Yun Mansion for consultation every month."

"Just a consultation? Do you prescribe medicine or acupuncture?"

"As far as I know, there never has been one."

After that, Jun Yanci listened to the sound of her index finger tapping on the table, waited for a while, and then guessed:

"Could it be that the imperial physician deliberately concealed the condition and tampered with it?"

"Not necessarily. If we only look at the pulse on the surface, we can't diagnose the problem."

Even Yun Qianyi needed to use a needle to test the poison in Yun Xiuyi's body.

"But this imperial physician does need to be checked."

If it involves the imperial palace, it will be a bit troublesome for Yun Qianyi. After all, her power is not in the Eastern Jin Kingdom.

"Miss Yun, your brother is my best friend. I failed to notice the poisoning this time. Now in the Yun Mansion, Xuan Qi is an outsider after all. It is inconvenient to investigate many things. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me to find the murderer behind the scenes."

Jun Yanci's words hit the mark exactly.

Yun Qianyi looked at the other party and stretched out his hand again, curling his lips and smiling:

"Your Highness, you already said that he is my brother."

She deliberately emphasized the last three words, and then held the hand in front of her.

"So, deal."

In the Prince's Mansion
Everyone in the country knows that the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty favors this crown prince to the extreme.

It was truly a great favor, as can be seen from this mansion. The building is majestic on the outside, and extremely luxurious on the inside. Even the carpet is made of gold thread and is worth a fortune.

There are countless rare treasures in the mansion, and even the flower pots in the courtyard are precious porcelain.

Back then, when the current emperor was still a prince, he was deeply in love with Shen Qing, the legitimate daughter of Duke Shen's mansion. He was also known as the immortal couple in the capital with Jiang Shiyi, the legitimate daughter of Duke Jiang's mansion, and Yun Han, who was the third place in the imperial examination at that time.

These two couples were once the talk of the town and are still remembered by many people today.

The Shen family, on its own, helped him stand out among more than a dozen princes and finally helped him ascend to the throne of the emperor.

Shen Qing also deservedly became the queen.

Once upon a time, Jun Yanci was loved by his father, the emperor, and his mother, favored by his brother, and protected by his grandfather. He was a child of destiny, as dazzling and unrestrained as the scorching sun in early summer.

Unfortunately, everything came to an abrupt end eight years ago.

The high-spirited and vigorous Fourth Prince disappeared without a trace. Now he has become the feared Crown Prince, who is moody, tyrannical and cruel.

He has been living till now with this sick body, barely surviving.

Xuan Liu was checking the charcoal fire in the house when he heard footsteps at the door.

"Your Highness, please go back."

Halfway through his words, he was startled by Jun Yanci in front of him.

How come after going to Yun Mansion, His Highness became somewhat charming?
What's with this cloak? It only reaches His Highness's calves. It doesn't fit him well. It must not be his.

When Xuan Liu wanted to go forward and help him undress, Jun Yanci refused:

"No need, you go down first."

Although Xuan Liu was confused, he still retreated without saying a word.

After a while, Jun Yanci lay on the bed, lowered his head and smelled the cloak on his body, which still had her unique fragrance.

A good night's sleep.
