Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

Although it was unclear why Princess Taiping was angry, this matter concerned her life and fortune.

Zhao Li could only offer his opinion when the princess was burning with anger: "Now Di Chun knows about this matter."

Among the others were He Yun and Wang Zhiyuan.

Wang Zhiyuan's side is relatively easy to deal with.

As long as he doesn't take action, no one can trace him back to this person.

It's a different story with He Yun.

Your Highness, last night, Di Renjie's bodyguard captain, Li Yuanfang, took the rubbing of the horse seal to He Yun for identification.

He Yun wanted to lead Di Renjie astray, so he went to see him in person.

"What? He Yun went to Di Renjie's side?" Taiping was shocked upon hearing this, and his body swayed, creating a wave in the air.

"Yes."

After getting off the chair, Princess Taiping paced anxiously back and forth in the room once again.

He couldn't help but curse angrily: "This idiot! Who is Di Renjie? Doesn't he fear being discovered?"

These idiots always have this inexplicable confidence that they are smarter than everyone else.

Even with Di Renjie's great reputation, I am still wary of him.

How dare that idiot He Yun come to his side?

He Yun, Shadow, Hui Wenzhong, Xiao Mei, Wei'er from the future Black Clothes Society, and others.

These people always have a foolish confidence that they can manipulate Di Renjie with their acting skills.

Despite Di Renjie's immense reputation, these people always tried to break his myth of invincibility.

He believed that by lurking beside Di Renjie, he could prevent Di Renjie from discovering his problems.

Ultimately, these people's fate could not escape Di Renjie's eyes.

Originally, He Yun only needed to express his opinion on the rubbing of the hoof print, but he insisted on going to Di Renjie's side unnecessarily.

Looking at Princess Taiping, Zhao Li spoke again: "Princess, Di Renjie is known for his divine judgment."

He Yun is very likely to be discovered if he is near him.

Once the case of the Bloodstained Eagle is solved by Di Renjie.

He Yun will inevitably be arrested, and Di Renjie will likely learn the whole story from him.

Moreover, given his past record, this is highly likely.

Although I don't know why Di Chun didn't tell Di Renjie about you.

But I see this as an opportunity.

"What opportunity?" Princess Taiping stopped and looked at Zhao Li, who was kneeling.

"Since Di Chun did not tell the Emperor or Di Renjie about this matter."

That means he has other ideas.

If we can shut him up, I think things will be much easier.

Moreover, it can also help resolve He Yun's issues.

Let him return to Di Renjie's side.

He was Di Renjie's confidant, and He Yun was there too.

He kept a close eye on He Yun, ready to kill him to silence him if he noticed anything amiss.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

Then no one will know about your plans, Princess.

Take a deep breath.

Princess Taiping calmed herself down.

"And the timing is right now, with Di Renjie investigating a case outside."

No one was watching Di Chun.

By the time Di Renjie returns, the case of the Bloodstained Eagle may already be solved.

"Di Renjie and Di Chun are together; even if you wanted to contact him, you wouldn't be able to."

Princess Taiping nodded, which was considered as affirmation of Zhao Li's opinion, but she was still ashamed and angry when she thought of her own guess.

But thinking about the consequences if things were exposed, he still said, "You're right."

Send someone there immediately—no, go yourself.

Li Yuanfang is no longer at the Di residence.

With your martial arts skills, entering the Di residence without being discovered shouldn't be a problem.

After infiltrating the Di residence, I arranged to meet Di Chuntian at a certain place in Luoyang after dark, once everyone had fallen asleep.

"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing that the princess had finally agreed to see Di Chun, Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching Zhao Li's departing figure, the anger gradually surged up in his heart again, but this time he didn't smash anything.

……

That night, after everyone in the Di family had gone to sleep, Di Chun quietly left the mansion.

Next to the princess's residence, in a secluded spot.

By this time, after nightfall, the streets were deserted.

Using his light-footed skills, dressed in night clothes and with his face covered by a black cloth, Di Chun leaped across the rooftops without anyone noticing.

Di Chun walked to the door of a shop facing the street and knocked gently.

With a creak, the door was gently pulled open.

Before Di Chun appeared Princess Taiping, who was shrouded in a black cloak, but whose jade-like face was exposed.

Seeing Di Chun arrive, even though he was seething with hatred, he still took a step back: "Come in quickly, don't let anyone find out."

"Okay."

With another creak, the door closed, and Di Chun turned around to look by the candlelight.

Princess Taiping was beautiful, with bright eyes and a dignified appearance. She had a straight nose, well-defined lips, and an air of authority.

Her skin was fair and radiant, but not sickly or delicate; rather, it was the cool, jade-like color of someone who had been pampered for many years and possessed an extremely strong spirit.

With her upright posture, smooth shoulder line, and unbent back when walking, she naturally exudes the dignified and graceful demeanor of a royal princess.

At this time, Princess Taiping was in her early thirties, in the prime of her life, a truly beautiful woman.

Subconsciously, Di Chun's gaze naturally fell on the right spot.

Princess Taiping was even angrier when she saw this, her chest heaving with waves of emotion.

If it was just a guess before, now it's a complete confirmation of my suspicions.

She had originally been thinking of simply assassinating Di Chun.

But then he thought again, Di Chun was someone close to Di Renjie, and if he died, Di Renjie would definitely investigate.

Moreover, Di Chun had just given the emperor a calming soup to ward off nightmares.

He was someone who had a presence in Wu Zetian's court; he wasn't an ordinary person. If someone were to actually assassinate him, it might implicate him.

I thought about it for a long time before giving up the idea.

After looking around the room, they found that Princess Taiping was the only person there.

"Sit down." Thinking of her own suspicions, Princess Taiping showed no goodwill whatsoever, and simply said coldly.

"Thank you, Princess. May I ask what brings you here so late at night?"

"What could be so difficult that you couldn't send a formal invitation and meet with me openly and honestly?" Di Chun feigned confusion.

Princess Taiping had witnessed Di Chun's shamelessness and immediately gave him a cold look. If looks could kill, he would have died ten thousand times over.

"Stop pretending! I'm asking you, how much do you know about His Majesty's affairs?"

Seeing that Princess Taiping was being so direct, Di Chun stopped beating around the bush and immediately said, "I know everything."

"You know everything?" The princess didn't believe it.

"Let's start from the beginning. Two years ago, His Majesty wanted to draw out the anti-martial forces in the martial arts world..."

Di Chun slowly recounted his words, and Princess Taiping became increasingly alarmed as she listened.

He really did know everything.

I thought he was just boasting, but it turns out it was true.

"Stop..." Princess Taiping interrupted him abruptly, looking at Di Chun with a shocked expression: "How did you know about this?"

Di Chun smiled slightly: "It's a professional secret, so I can't reveal it."
