A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 392 Ending (61)

His face remained normal, revealing little unusual emotion, but the sudden flash of ferocity in his eyes indicated that he was out of control at that moment!
Mu Qingcheng's heart tightened. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she couldn't embrace Song Shuyu to offer him the quickest comfort. She could only try to gently persuade him, "Don't worry, my lord, I fought back. He won't dare to curse me anymore. Please calm down, my lord."

Song Shuyu clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged, and his entire body was stiff!

Upon seeing this, worry crept into the Emperor's eyes. In his experience, this was a sign of Song Shuyu's illness recurring. The Empress Dowager's illness hadn't been completely cured, and now there was Mu Qingcheng?

Fortunately, Mu Qingcheng was both the valve for Song Shuyu's manic-depressive disorder and his antidote. Seeing her repeatedly and silently caressing Song Shuyu's arm, Song Shuyu's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and then he nodded slightly and responded with an "Mm".

Song Shuxing, sitting in the audience, couldn't see Song Shuyu's face because Song Shuyu had her back to him, but he still noticed Song Shuyu's unusual body language. Coupled with Mu Qingcheng's obvious comforting gestures, the observant Song Shuxing couldn't help but become suspicious.

Just then, a signal flare suddenly exploded in the sky above Jingzhao Prefecture, filling the air with a cloud of green smoke!
Gasps of surprise erupted from both the stage and the audience!

The common people were confused, and the civil and military officials were also only vaguely aware of the situation. Before the case could be fully investigated, something happened in the Jingzhao Prefecture.

"My lord, do you need me to return to the yamen to provide support?" Mu Qingcheng's breathing was tight. She was currently on imperial orders to handle the case, and it seemed inappropriate to leave halfway through. However, she was also worried that the situation was urgent and Jiang Zhan and the others would not be able to cope.

"No need!" Song Shuyu stood with his hands behind his back, his tall figure exuding composure and confidence. "I have already made plans, they will not succeed. Besides, there is Song Li."

At this point, Song Shuyu leaned slightly closer to Mu Qingcheng and whispered to her, "Moreover, this signal flare is not a call for help. Green means everything is under control, so please wait patiently for the outcome."

Mu Qingcheng's tension subsided slightly. She whispered a compliment: "Your Excellency is wise."

Song Shuyu smiled smugly, "Your wisdom is secondary; the main thing is that we cooperate perfectly, our teamwork is unparalleled, we're a match made in heaven." This confession came so suddenly that Mu Qingcheng was speechless. Her fair face quickly flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, warning him in a low voice, "You... shut up!"

After speaking, he quickly returned to Guo Xuan's side to prevent Guo Xuan from committing suicide out of fear of punishment.

The Emperor, initially worried about the fate of the Capital Prefecture and wanting to inquire about Song Shuyu's situation, was surprised to find that the notorious womanizer was still preoccupied with romance. However, upon further reflection, Song Shuyu's composure was actually good news. Therefore, the Emperor relaxed his posture, though he did give Song Shuyu a warning look. In public, perhaps he should tone it down a bit; the young lady had her pride!

Despite being repeatedly punished, Song Shuyu remained unperturbed. In fact, he even turned around and smiled at Song Shuxing.

Of course, Song Shuxing cherished his only younger brother more than his own eyes, and no matter what Song Shuyu did, he always received his loving brother's affection.

Meanwhile, Song Shuxing was not idle either. Since Song Shuyu had given the signal, he personally went on stage to replace Song Li and perform the duty of protecting the emperor.

The Empress Dowager had completely dropped her pretense; her beautiful eyes, like the forked tongue of a venomous snake, seemed intent on tearing Song Shuxing to pieces on the spot!
However, Song Shuxing didn't even glance at the Empress Dowager, and the long sword he stood beside her, held horizontally at his waist, accidentally grazed her neck several times!

The Empress Dowager was furious, but she could only carefully avoid the situation and swallow her anger.

Mu Qingcheng was in no hurry to re-interrogate Guo Xuan. Rather than wasting words, he would wait for Jiang Zhan's good news and then destroy Guo Xuan in one fell swoop!
After waiting for about 15 minutes, the constables from the Jingzhao Prefecture, led by Song Li and Jiang Zhan, arrived at the Imperial City Gate with several people in tow!

Naturally, the Duke's mansion's secret guards were indispensable, but they were hidden among the crowd, like invisible shadows, making them unnoticed!
