Chapter 225: Do You Believe Her?

Ling Chen stared at Qing Yun without speaking. When all the evidence points to one person, you have to keep your eyes open, Ling Chen said to himself secretly.

But Qingyun has a motive. She is the princess of Beiyi, and it is not impossible to kill the little prince to avenge Sindar. But will she?

Ling Chen said: "You go back first."

Gu Fan brought Liu Hui in.

Seeing Ling Chen sitting there in person, Liu Hui couldn't help but feel sad: "Your Majesty, you have to mourn."

Ling Chen said, "Concubine Huigui, Prince Rui and the others want to ask questions, and everyone who has contact with the little prince should ask questions."

Rui Wang said: "The maid serving the little prince said that it was the concubine who told them that the jujube tree over there had a lot of jujubes, and when they saw everyone went to pick jujubes, they brought the little prince there, is that so?"

Liu Hui nodded: "Yes, I saw the jujube juice that Princess Qingyun made for the emperor. The emperor likes to drink it. There are a few jujube trees behind the cold palace. I picked up a lot of jujubes and no one picked them, so I brought everyone to pick them. Others When the palace maid saw it, everyone went over. The little prince is willing to eat fresh jujube, mainly to have fun. Only then did Ben Gong tell Huixiang to bring the prince to play. Besides, Ben Gong likes this child very much. I don’t know who does that. heartless."

Liu Hui said, and became sad again.

It seems that Liu Hui has no motive.

In the evening, King Rui, Bai Shaoting and Huo Jingyun went to Gu Huaxuan to report the case to the emperor.

According to their analysis, these concubines in the harem are all possible.

Ling Chen said: "Concubine Huigui once asked me to raise the little prince to her, but I did not agree. But if the queen really can't wake up, I will raise the little prince to Concubine Huigui. Concubine Huigui is very smart, she probably won't. Kill the little prince."

Rui Wang said: "The rest are Concubine De, Concubine Jing and Concubine Qing. Concubine De was beheaded by the whole family because of her father's treason. Although the emperor did not kill her, I wonder if she will hold grudges."

Bai Shaoting frowned, "The old woman who was hit and killed is very suspicious, but after checking, that old woman has no close friends and no relatives. Now the key evidence is those dates and arsenic. If the dates were put there in advance, what? People can be sure that the little prince will pass there? He will definitely pick up the dates on the ground and eat them? Aren’t they afraid that others will pick them up?”

Huo Jingyun suddenly said: "Why do you only suspect Concubine De, Concubine Jing and Concubine Qing? There is one more person, and it is necessary to investigate."

King Rui asked, "Who else?"

"Wen Heng." Huo Jingyun said lightly.

King Rui's face changed: "How is this possible, this is her own child!"

After speaking, King Rui's face froze, Wen Heng killed his own child, the six-month-old fetus.

Ling Chen frowned and asked Huo Jingyun, "Why do you think so?"

Huo Jingyun said: "Since it is an investigation, everyone should investigate it. Sometimes, the murderer is often hidden among those who seem the most unlikely."

Ling Chen said: "Shao Ting, you and Jingyun go and ask Wen Heng."

Wen Heng was still locked in Fang Palace. When she was brought into the interrogation room, her face was pale, her lips were puffed out, and her lower lip had a deep crack.

Bai Shaoting respectfully handed her a glass of water. Bai Shaoting was introduced to Ling Chen by Wen Heng. Wen Heng was not familiar with him at the time. He was also introduced by others. We met once in a while. Wen Heng felt that this person had great ambitions, and he was talented in both civil and military affairs. The court was just short of people. This was the introduction to Ling Chen.

Wen Heng has a kindness to Bai Shaoting.

Bai Shaoting: "Concubine Yi, please condolences, Wei Chen has a few words to ask the empress."

Wen Heng: "Ask."

Bai Shaoting: "Does Niangniang often see the little prince? I mean from the crack of the door."

Wen Heng: "I've seen him three times in total, that is, when he passed by Fang Palace, as long as I heard his voice, I would lie in the crack of the door and watch."

Bai Shaoting: "The last time I heard the voice of the little prince, did you release the bird to attract the little prince?"

Wen Heng: "No, the bird has been calling. It was the little prince who heard the sound and ran over by himself."

Huo Jingyun looked at Wen Heng and suddenly asked, "Does the niangniang know Princess Qingyun?"

Wen Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Huo Jingyun: "Didn't the niangniang see Princess Qingyun through the crack of the door?"

Wen Heng looked at Huo Jingyun: "Only Marshal Huo would be interested in such a woman. Why should I go to see her?"

Huo Jingyun smiled, "Niangniang, what kind of woman am I interested in? Does she look like Lan Ling?"

Wen Heng's expression changed, he no longer took the initiative to speak, and he was very cautious when answering questions.

After asking Wen Heng, Huo Jingyun's face was solemn.

Bai Shaoting looked at him: "What do you think?"

Huo Jingyun said, "Wen Heng is too calm. Shouldn't she be very angry when her own son died?"

Bai Shaoting sighed deeply.

Qingyun was called over to ask a few times, and he vaguely felt that the death of the little prince might really have something to do with him.

She looked at the two bottles of jujube juice that Concubine Qing had brought over on the table, but couldn't see any clues. She remembered that Liu Hui asked her to teach them how to make juice. Are they really so friendly?

Early the next morning, Gu Fan brought someone to take Xiaojing away. At noon, Qingyun was also taken away and locked in a separate room. There are guards guarding the outside.

On the way, Qingyun asked Gu Fan why he was imprisoning her. Gu Fan said that someone saw Qingyun go to Fang Palace before the little prince's accident.

Lingchen came to Linhua Hall in the evening, he fed Lan Ling the medicine as usual, and held her on his body.

The blue clouds on her chest made a warm glow.

He looked at Lan Ling's bloodless face, buried his head deeply in her neck, and asked in a low voice, "Linger, when will you wake up? Tell me, who killed An'er? Should you trust her?"

These swords and arrows in the palace are far more complicated than the battlefield. He used to underestimate the struggle in the palace, thinking that he could control everything, and then he lost Lan Ling.

Qingyun has been locked in the room for two days, no one has come to ask her questions, but she has not let her go.

At night, the door opened, Qingyun looked up and saw Ling Chen standing there. He was dressed in mysterious clothes, embroidered with golden flying dragons, and the golden threads shone in the candlelight. Qingyun saw that he had lost a lot of weight.

Ling Chen waved his hand, the guards took a few steps back, Qing Yun stood up, Ling Chen looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Qingyun said: "No."

Ling Chen: "Why don't you ask why you are locked up?"

Qingyun: "I believe in Big Brother Bai and my Senior Brother."

Ling Chen raised his eyebrows: "You don't believe me?"

Qingyun smiled: "Don't the emperor also believe in Brother Bai and my senior brother? To believe them is to believe in the emperor."

Ling Chen said: "You have sharp teeth."

Qingyun said: "The emperor must understand that I will not harm the little prince. If I kill the little prince because of national hatred, why should I save the emperor? But so much evidence points to me, indicating that my existence threatens others."

Ling Chen: "Who do you think threatened?"

Qingyun said: "If the queen is not good, and the emperor accepts me as a concubine, who will the little prince be brought up? The emperor has only one prince."

Ling Chen's eyes instantly turned cold, "Are you cursing the Queen?"

Qingyun said: "Your Majesty, you have to listen to the truth, I only told the truth."

Ling Chen sneered, "Qingyun, don't think highly of yourself, do you think I will hand over the prince to you?"

He turned around and walked away.

Two days later, rumors spread in the palace that it was Beiyi's princess. Because Beiyi was destroyed by Daxing, she held a grudge and took the opportunity to kill the little prince.

There are also rumors that the guards found something dropped by the poisoner at the scene, and the emperor ordered that after the discovery, the nine clans were involved.
