"I still need to leave the palace to continue handling the case at hand, please forgive me for not staying longer."
"Official Li, you are busy with important matters. I apologize for the interruption." Minister Qi said calmly, closing his eyes, indicating he had no intention to speak further.
Li Yunian frowned slightly, aware that he had been noted by Minister Qi for not divulging any information to him earlier.
But, what he did outside the Imperial Study, wouldn't the Emperor already know?
After all, he was the Emperor's man and naturally could not secretly communicate with Minister Qi.
He simply nodded his head and left with large strides.
"Sir, you're back. The news of Elder Qi San's death has spread throughout the entire capital."
"What happened?" Li Yunian frowned and quickly asked.
An official from the Ministry of Punishment, with a worried look, said, "It was done by the person who killed Elder Qi San."
