Allure of the World

Ling Chen stared at Qingyun without speaking. When all the evidence points to one person, you should 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.

Liu Hui saw Ling Chen sitting there in person, and she couldn't help but feel sad: "Your Majesty, you must mourn."

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

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

Liu Hui nodded: "Yes, I saw that 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 just wanted to drink it. I took everyone to pick it up, and when the other maids saw it, everyone went there too. The little prince is willing to eat fresh dates, mainly to have fun. Only then did Ben Gong tell Huixiang that he would take the prince to play. Besides, Ben Gong is very Love this kid. I don't know who is so cruel."

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 Hui 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 Hui, Hui. The imperial concubine is very smart, she should not kill the little prince."

King Rui 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 woman is not close to anyone, and has no relatives. Now the key evidence is those dates and arsenic. It was put there in advance. Who 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 check."

Rui Wang 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 fetus that was more than six months old.

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."

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 birds have been calling. It was the little prince who ran over when he heard the sound."

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 niece also 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 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 stopped talking actively, and 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.

Qing Yun was called over to ask a few times, and she vaguely felt that the death of the little prince might 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 anything, thinking that Liu Hui asked her to teach them how to make juice, how friendly they were?

In the early morning of the next day, 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 she was imprisoning her. Gu Fan said that someone saw Qingyun go to Fang Palace before the little prince's accident.

Ling Chen came to Linhua Hall at night, he fed Lan Ling the medicine as usual, and held her on his body.

The blue cloud on her chest shone with a warm light.

He looked at Lan Ling's bloodless face, buried his head in her neck, and asked in a low voice, "Linger, when will you wake up? Tell me, who is it? Killed An'er? Should I believe 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.

Qing Yun was locked in the room for two days, no one came to ask her questions, but she never let her go. The guards served delicious food and drink, and no one made her difficult.

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 stepped back a few steps, Qingyun stood up, Ling Chen looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Qing Yun said: "No."

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

Qing Yun: "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 brother? To believe them is to believe in the emperor."

Ling Chen said: "You have sharp teeth."

Qing Yundao: "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, it means that My presence threatens others."

Ling Chen: "Who do you think threatened?"

Qing Yun 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?"

Qing Yun 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 give you the prince?"

He turned and walked away.

Two days later, rumors spread in the palace that it was the princess of Beiyi, 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.
