    Horna stared at her royal brother with a pale face and did not speak, not because she couldn't guess, but because she felt that she was close to the truth.

    If the murderer is really the one in her mind... Then, how long has this game of chess been arranged?

    For the first time since she was born, she discovered that one thing, just guessing the pool of stagnant water behind it, was enough to make her terrified!

    "You're still young, it's enough for the emperor to worry about this kind of thing. As for you, just wait until you get married." Huo Mu lightly rubbed the ends of her hair, just like his habit for so many years before. His eyes seemed to still carry the pampering of the past.

    Horna only felt cold, so cold that she felt chills in her heart.

    Huang brother just said so many words, if she guessed correctly, he did not poison Lu Chen personally, but, he not only knew the whole story, what's more, he provided the other party with convenience! He is like a mastermind behind the scenes, controlling the situation from start to finish.

    What he meant by "getting married obediently" meant that she had no other way to choose.

    She is the bargaining chip and the middle link between the imperial brother and the Grand Duke Lu Chong. The princess of a country, in their eyes, is just a commodity, but it is a little more valuable. One is used to stabilize the imperial sentiment and the domestic Conservative Party forces, and the other is used to exchange for the secret support of Duolinguo, so that he can ascend the throne more smoothly.

    "Girls, don't stay up late, go to bed early." Huo Mu didn't seem to see the bleakness in Horna's eyes, and still smiled at her with a good mood. Turning around, as he left, the entire palace gate was closed again, the debris on the ground was spread there, and the crawling servants stood up again, their eyes turned to the ground with expressionless faces, as if everything just happened was an illusion, Nothing happened, and nobody came....

    At this moment, Lu Chong, who was far in the south of the empire, looked at the material in his hand lightly and smiled lightly.

    He had endured for so many years, and there was a knife on the end of the word forbearance, and the knife almost went straight into his chest and inserted into his heart.

    Until now, can finally stop being patient.

    Probably, there is nothing in this world that makes him more comfortable than this.

    He looked at the "evidence" as if toying with it, and finally smiled slowly, so the other subordinates in the whole room who participated in this "Qingjun's side" knew what to do.

    The next morning, just before dawn, a piece of news appeared on the homepages of all sizes on the Internet - "The death of His Majesty, the evidence is conclusive!"

    The shocking blood-red background seemed to dye the entire interface bloody.

    Open the news and there is an announcement inside.

    Unlike last night's extremely concise "Qingjun's side" style, this time, the news detailed the details of Lu Chen's poisoning and the circumstances of the poisoning.

    Even the details of Lu Chen's death from poisoning after talking with Leng Yiyao alone in the dormitory after excluding everyone in the end were not leaked.

    And the most striking evidence finally made its debut!

    The poison in Lu Chen's poison was the highly refined sap of the weeping fig.

    As an ornamental plant, Ficus weeping is an evergreen tree of the genus Moraceae. Most people only know that it is precious and rare, but few people know that its leaves and stems contain toxic milky sap. However, the highly refined and concentrated poison can make people unknowingly poison and die suddenly.

    And the most coincidental thing is….

    As an evergreen tree, Ficus weeping only grows in the wet woods at an altitude of 500-800 meters, while the Empire is a veritable desert country. Not only material resources and financial resources are needed, but also special personnel are needed to take care of them, otherwise they will not be able to survive even a year.

    In recent years, in the entire empire, there is only one place where weeping ficus grows densely, around the wooden house specially configured for the special class at Shengde High School.

    In the entire imperial capital, everyone knows that the threshold of Shengde High School is not ordinary.

    The person who can pass through the gate of Shengde High School, walk to the wooden house and touch the weeping banyan, and can enter and leave the palace at will, who poisoned Lu Chen...

    In order to meet the above conditions, indeed, Leng Yiyao is none other than Leng Yiyao.

    Oh, no, maybe besides her, there is another person who is also able to go in and out of Shengde High School and the palace regularly.

    That is M.

    It's a pity, one is that outsiders don't know that M can freely enter and leave Shengde High School, and the other is that Leng Yiyao personally denied in front of the Queen Mother and others that this was M's conspiracy.

    So now, according to the evidence cited by Grand Duke Lu Chong, the only person who can't argue is Leng Yiyao.

    In the council chamber of the Marshal's Mansion, from Hemo to Frey and Zhai Mu, looking at the news page that was opened, their faces were not good-looking.

    But Leng Yiyao, since last night when she hugged Hemo fiercely, buried her cheek in his shoulder and lost control for a split second, her whole figure seemed to return to her previous state.

    Let you storm the waves, I am calm.

    Faced with such "iron proof", she didn't seem to care at all, she pushed a grape to her lips with one hand, and casually flipped through the news comments below.

    "Since Lu Chong was not at the scene, he knew the poison that even the imperial doctor didn't solve." Zhai Mu, who had been silent since last night, spoke in a rare way. Evans was sitting next to him, and when he heard him say this, he smiled with a sympathetic smile, "It can be seen that his brain is not very good."

    Whether it’s not easy to use, or being manipulated, now that the “evidence” is already in front of you, it’s almost a sure thing!

    Everyone in the entire imperial capital is afraid that everyone has seen such news.

    The point is, how are they going to refute it now!

    Since Lu Chong dared to disclose what the toxin was, he would definitely not cheat. The whole palace has long been in turmoil, and the queen mother who lost her son is now in a state of half-hearted madness, arresting whoever bites whoever. Not to mention that Leng Yiyao once rubbed her face in front of so many people!

    Even when Lu Chen took his last breath, he was alone in the room with Leng Yiyao and drove everyone else out...

    Rao is so wise, and Evans couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. It was a perfect plan.

    Not only did he take advantage of Lu Chen's special feelings for Leng Yiyao, he even took into account the environment around Leng Yiyao.

    Such a mind is actually hidden in the palace, and until now there is no trace of it...

    Homer's eyes were dark.

    Lu Chong alone can't do such a seamless process. So, who is the real murderer?

    How did the poison come?

    How did he escape the eyes of so many royal guards?

    You must know that all the emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation have been reviewed at various levels. Although the weeping banyan is poisonous, it is not an instant death.

    "Jingle Bell"

    Just when everyone fell into deep thought, the intercom phone in the room suddenly rang, which seemed harsh in this early morning.

    Frey was shocked for a moment, and the next moment, he immediately leaned over to answer the phone: "What's the matter?"

    "Someone is looking for Miss Leng." The guard at the door looked at the visitor carefully, and his voice became clearer.

    At this time, went to the Marshal's Mansion to find Miss Leng?

    A flash of surprise flashed in Frey's eyes, and before he could answer, Leng Yiyao seemed to have expected: "Let him in."

    When the man walked through the corridors and entered the conference hall, Frey and the others finally understood why the guard at the door just spoke so strangely.

    The emperor's illegitimate son, who was just revealed yesterday, is the only remaining uncle in Leng Yiyao's bloodline - M actually came to visit at the cusp of this storm!

    "Sit." Leng Yiyao didn't seem at all surprised that he would appear here, just nodded lightly.

    M glanced around the room.

    It can be said that, except for Leng Yiyao, everyone present here is the direct subordinate of Hemo in the military world. This is a special circle, and one cannot enter without oneself. He didn't want to get involved too much with the military, but in the current situation, he couldn't control that much either.

    In the history of the empire, once the crime of murdering the emperor is convicted, it will be punished by thousands of cuts!

    Based on his knowledge of Leng Yiyao, she would definitely not go to him, so he could only deliver it to the door himself.

    The computer page on the table was open, M only glanced at it, and then looked away: "Let's not say anything else, I just ask, last night, did you send everyone away to talk to Lu Chen secretly, or was Lu Chen the one who sent it? "

    This question was a delicate one, but in an instant, everyone present understood what he meant.

    If Leng Yiyao asked everyone to leave, then Lu Chong's pot of dirty water was ready to go in - Leng Yiyao was waiting for everyone to leave, and deliberately caused poisoning.

    But if Lu Chen asked everyone to leave, then why is it such a coincidence that when she and Lu Chen were alone in private, the poison penetrated into her heart and died violently?

    "He made everyone else leave." Leng Yiyao slowly closed his eyes. At that time, he was obsessed with a question - who is she?

    Even at the last moment, he hid the doubts in his heart tightly, unwilling to reveal the slightest in front of outsiders. It was not until everyone left that he asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

    "Then, it's easy." M's tone paused slightly, and suddenly showed a cold smile. "During the time you and Lu Chen were alone, were you sure there was no third person present?"

    Since Lu Chen was able to wake up suddenly, it can be seen that the toxin did not seal his throat with blood.

    But it happened when Leng Yiyao was alone with him, just to make her speechless, without the possibility of arguing.

    Well, obviously, in order to get the timing right, someone must have induced the poison!
