Jianjun Prefecture, Mr. Xin.
He was the only remaining Third Rank Martial Artist in the Capital City besides Duke Cao.
But he could not let on that he knew.
This was a new deduction of his.
Setting Duke Cao aside.
That left only one suspect in the entire Capital City.
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.
Only he could have taken Bai Ziqing away without anyone noticing.
And his suspicion... was immense!
First of all, Zeng Anmin had personally seen Mr. Xin act while posing as Prince Nan.
It did not really count as acting. He had merely displayed his ability.
With both the windows and doors shut, he had silently appeared before him from outside the room.
The most important point was this.
Prince Nan had vanished in Jianjun Prefecture.
How could Ji Hongli willingly allow the Empress to seize upon that weakness and use it against him?
He would certainly make a move.
"I just didn't expect him to move so quickly."
Clearly, after Ji Hongli realized that Prince Nan had disappeared.
His first move had been to restrict the Empress.
How could he restrict the Empress?
A flash of understanding passed through Zeng Anmin's eyes.
The Empress had said from the beginning that she would meet the delegation and Prince Nan three days later...
By then, Ji Hongli would surely be unable to hide it from the world.
If the Empress used Prince Nan's disappearance to pressure Ji Hongli, he would be unable to escape blame.
So...
Ji Hongli had thought of such an extreme method at this moment.
Make Bai Ziqing disappear as well...
Without its leader, how could the delegation meet with the Empress?
Then it would no longer be a matter of Ji Hongli losing Prince Nan.
It would become a matter of the Empress
