Chapter 214: Truth (Second Update)

After the Emperor ordered the three departments to jointly investigate the case during the court meeting, he also specifically appointed Rui'an King as the chief judge. When Rui'an King left the palace, news of him taking over the investigation of Princess Qingping's assassination case spread throughout the Imperial Palace.

Xie Lin was shocked. How long has it been since his father last received such heavy responsibility from His Majesty? The Rui'an King Residence had always been careful not to make mistakes, and his father was more than content to just get by without making any significant achievements or blunders. Over time, Xie Lin came to think that his father's attitude wasn't bad, he, too, would be content just to get by in the future. As long as they could continue to maintain Rui'an King Residence, everything would be fine. After all, it was quite simple that way.
