No wonder!
Zheng Xiu instantly understood why he had suddenly been locked up indefinitely as a suspect.
It was because the matter had already blown up without anyone realizing it.
But if the investigation ultimately revealed the killer was someone from the palace, it would be a Royal Family scandal.
No matter who the killer was, the Wei Royal Family couldn't afford to lose face. What's more, it was likely the Wei Clan already knew who the real culprit was but was unwilling to let the truth come out.
That was why the case had been taken away.
As long as they suppressed it for a while, the common people would gradually forget about it. Then, they could just find some excuse to release Master Zheng.
A happy ending for everyone, where the only ones who truly suffered were Princess Yu Run and Master Zheng.
He never would have thought that by forcing his way out of prison, he had inadvertently given the Wei Royal Family a convenient way out.
