Chapter 305 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (58 words)
You feel wronged by being left here, but what about Master Sun?
He served the empire diligently, yet he met a tragic end. To whom could he voice his grievances?
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Jun Sui continued:
"However, there's no need for everyone to worry too much."
Since you can't leave for the time being, just consider it as staying at the palace for a few more days and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the palace for free.
Every blade of grass and every tree in the palace is a treasure of the empire; you wouldn't normally have the chance to enter.
His tone was slightly sarcastic, yet it didn't make anyone laugh.
Then, Jun Sui began to make arrangements methodically. He turned to his trusted confidant beside him and said:
"The banquet hall was completely sealed off, and heavy guards were stationed at every entrance and exit, so that no one was allowed to enter or leave at will."
Not even a fly can fly out without my order.
The trusted confidant immediately took the order and quickly organized the soldiers to set up a defensive line.
Then, he looked at another close confidant:
“We will record the detailed information of everyone present, including their identities, their relationship with Master Sun, and their every move after entering the banquet hall tonight.”
No detail can be overlooked.
The confidant nodded in agreement, took out paper and pen, and began to ask and register each person one by one.
After making these arrangements, Jun Sui's gaze swept over everyone again:
"During the investigation, everyone should stay put. If anyone dares to disobey orders, try to escape, or conceal the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless."
His voice wasn't loud, but the threat it carried sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Everyone nodded and dared not make any further moves.
The confidants acted quickly, and time passed slowly, but after a thorough search, they still had no clue.
In the stuffy banquet hall, everyone was huddled together, their exhaustion and anxiety intertwined.
Finally, a minister, unable to contain himself any longer, stepped forward, his voice trembling with exhaustion:
"Marshal Jun, we've been working since dark and we're completely exhausted."
Besides, with so many people crammed here, it's not conducive to the investigation. Could we rest for the night and continue the investigation tomorrow?
Upon hearing this, everyone echoed his sentiments, chattering about their own exhaustion and helplessness.
"Yes, Marshal, we can hardly stand up anymore."
"I really don't have the energy tonight. I'll check again tomorrow. Maybe my thinking will be clearer then."
Jun Sui frowned slightly, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Yun Suisi. He saw that Yun Suisi's brows were slightly furrowed, his expression full of fatigue, and he was gently rubbing his temples.
In an instant, Jun Sui's heart clenched, and a feeling of heartache welled up within him.
He pondered for a moment, then, having made up his mind, looked up at the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"Alright, considering how tired everyone is, let's rest for tonight."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jun then raised his voice:
"But listen up, everyone. Stay in your designated rooms tonight and don't move around freely."
If anyone disobeys orders, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The investigation will continue tomorrow morning; no one can get away with this!
After speaking, Jun Sui turned to his confidants and instructed them:
"Arrange for them to rest, and assign soldiers to guard each room. Make sure to keep a close watch on them, and no one is allowed to communicate privately."
The trusted men obeyed and began to organize everyone to leave the banquet hall in an orderly manner and head to their respective rest areas.
Yun Suisi walked to Jun Sui's side and whispered:
"It seems this case is more complicated than we thought."
Jun Sui nodded slightly, his expression solemn:
"That's right, the enemy is cunning, but I will definitely get to the bottom of the truth."
His gaze lingered on Yun Suisi's face for a moment, the seriousness in his eyes fading, replaced by tenderness and concern, as he softly said:
"You should go and get some rest too. Get a good night's sleep tonight and recharge your energy."
Yun Suisi nodded slightly and replied softly:
"Okay, don't overwork yourself. Finish your work early and come rest."
After saying that, he turned and walked toward the assigned room. Although his steps were slightly heavy due to fatigue, his back was still upright.
Jun Sui stood still, his gaze fixed on Yun Suisi until his figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
His eyes were full of love and concern, as if nothing in the world could compare to Yun Suisi.
He automatically blocked out the surrounding noise; in his world, there was only Yun Suisi's departing figure.
Until a trusted confidant stepped forward and whispered a reminder:
"Marshal, there are still some military matters that require your attention."
Jun Sui then came to his senses, took a deep breath, suppressed his tenderness, and resumed his usual cold and dignified demeanor, turning to walk towards his temporary office.
Organized by their confidants, the people in the banquet hall gradually made their way to their respective rooms.
Throughout the journey, everyone remained silent, with only occasional hushed conversations, all concerning this sudden turn of events.
Everyone understood the seriousness of the matter and dared not make any rash moves, for fear of accidentally getting into trouble.
Jun Sui sat at the table, surrounded by piles of documents, all related to the case and the Empire's military affairs.
He picked up a report on the deployment of palace guards and began to examine it carefully.
His brows furrowed at times and relaxed slightly at others, clearly indicating that he was pondering various issues.
"The palace's security seems tight, yet the murderer still managed to slip through. Where did things go wrong?"
Jun Sui muttered to himself, his voice low and cold.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound that was particularly clear in the quiet banquet hall.
Meanwhile, Yun Suisi returned to his room, washed up briefly, and then lay down on the bed.
He stared at the ceiling, but his thoughts drifted involuntarily to Jun Sui downstairs.
Downstairs, Jun Sui opened another investigation report on Master Sun's interpersonal relationships.
Looking at the densely packed names and network of relationships on the report, he fell into deep thought:
"Master Sun was known for his integrity and honesty throughout his life. Who would have committed such a heinous act against him?"
What is the underlying motivation?
These questions, like a fog, shrouded his mind, making him feel somewhat irritable.
He rubbed his temples, trying to ease his tense nerves, before getting back to work.
Night had fallen, and all was quiet. The entire palace seemed to be shrouded in a serene black veil.
Jun Sui sat at a table piled high with documents, the candlelight flickering and illuminating his cold, stern face.
His long hours of focused thinking left his brows furrowed and a hint of fatigue showing on his forehead.
He rubbed his temples again, trying to dispel the waves of weariness that were washing over him.
His gaze slowly swept over the interpersonal relationship investigation report of Master Sun in his hand.
The dense text now seemed to have turned into a tangled mess, writhing wildly in his mind.
Jun Sui put down the report in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and slowly closed his eyes.
In the stillness of the night, his thoughts drifted involuntarily to Yun Suisi.
In an instant, the image of Yun Suisi's tired yet still upright back appeared in his mind, and the heartache and longing instantly overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
At this moment, he didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters anymore; he had only one thought in his mind: to see Yun Suisi.
I want to hold him tightly, listen to him speak, and feel his warmth.
“Ah Si…”
“Sui Si…”
“Yun Sui Si…”
Jun Sui murmured the name softly, his voice full of tenderness and longing.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a determined light flashing within them, and made a crucial decision without hesitation.
He stood up and, following Yun Suisi's habit, began to tidy up the desk in an orderly manner.
She carefully stacked the documents one by one, and arranged the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone with gentle and meticulous movements.
As he tidied up, he thought to himself:
"When I see him later, I must hug him tightly, kiss him, and tell him how much I miss him."
After tidying up his desk, Jun Sui didn't want to waste a moment longer and strode towards the direction of love.
