"Come here, bring up everyone who has seen the eldest prince."

Four men were brought up and gave their names. County Magistrate Han asked:

"You guys have seen the eldest prince late at night."

"Sir, we two were ordered by the master to follow the eldest prince all the way. We only returned after seeing him enter the county government office."

"Yes, we met two night watchmen on the road."

"Sir, I am a night watchman. I have seen the eldest prince walking on the street twice. I thought it was strange and asked him a few questions. But the eldest prince seemed to have lost his soul and ignored me."

"Impossible, how could I not know that I have sleepwalking?"

"Crown Prince, it is true that you did not sleep at night and ran out by yourself. On the night we caught the old witch, you ran out and fought with His Highness." Tianshu followed.

"Xiao Qi, is it really me, or is someone pretending to be me?"

Ye Huaifeng was dragged to the court by Ye Huaichen, saying that he wanted to tell him something important. It turned out that he was suing him for arson.

"Brother, it is indeed you." Ye Huaichen confirmed Ye Huaifeng's behavior.

Ye Huaifeng frowned and looked at Ye Huaichen for a while. He still believed what he said and tried hard to recall what happened when he woke up after resting, but he couldn't remember it at all. He covered his head and suddenly felt a headache.

"Big brother, this medicine can relieve headaches."

Ye Huaifeng looked at the medicine bottle for a long time, then took it and drank it.

"Big Brother, do you still remember why you came to Tongcheng?"

After being asked this question, Ye Huaifeng really couldn't remember why he came. He looked at the people in front of him, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

"There's something wrong with me."

Ye Huaifeng found it strange. He had always been in good health, so how could he suddenly suffer from sleepwalking?

"Brother, where did Qingfeng go?"

"...I don't know."

"Your Highness, I'm here." Qingfeng came in from outside the court.

"Qingfeng, where have you been these days? When did I start wandering at night?"

"Your Highness, do you remember when the murder first happened? We went out to investigate and encountered men in black. After that, your behavior became unusual. I discovered that you went out at night and have been following you secretly since then."

Ye Huaifeng was silent after hearing this. "That's why I go out to set fires every night. It's because you hide behind me that I don't cause any serious damage."

"Your Highness, not only are we subordinates here, but Tianquan is also following you to clean up the mess, except for the night we captured Lian Ji, when you were so fast that we couldn't catch up with you."

At this point, everyone understood the truth about the arson.

"My fellow officials, the truth of the arson case has been revealed. What do you have to say?"

"My Lord, I have nothing to say."

"My lord, the eldest prince is also a victim. I have nothing to say."

"Sir, the person who wants to harm us is the villain behind the scenes. Please find this person and bring him to justice."

No one dared to say anything bad about Ye Huaifeng, and they all wanted to catch the person behind the scenes.

Qingfeng said, "Lord Sun, the eldest prince's abnormality was caused by Lian Ji."

"My eldest brother must have been poisoned by the Mayfly Dream Poison."

"Seventh Prince, you know how to cure this evil poison."

Ye Huaichen glanced at Fang Fang and shook his head: "I don't know, I just happened to see it in a book, but I still don't have a clue about the antidote. Find Lian Ji and interrogate her, maybe we can find the solution."

"Seventh Prince, Lian Ji is still nowhere to be found? The eldest prince went out to set fire at night..."

County Magistrate Han didn't know what to do.

"Lian Ji is in the court." Ye Huaichen's words caused a huge wave of shock.

"What? Lian Ji is in the court." Everyone looked around in panic.

Tian Quan continued, "Lian Ji is good at disguise and has already sneaked into the government office. Lian Ji, your identity has been discovered by His Highness, do you still want to hide it?"

The yamen runners looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Magistrate Han and Lawyer Sun. When several officials heard that Lian Ji was in the yamen, they quickly ran behind the Seventh Prince.

Lian Ji remained unmoved, and everyone was still wondering who Lian Ji was.

"Lian Ji, you pretended to be Master Sun, do you think you can keep pretending?"

"What do you mean, Master Sun is a witch?" County Magistrate Han came down from the court and stood far away from Master Sun. Everyone in the yamen looked at him warily.

"Lian Ji is a woman with a slender figure. Master Sun is short and thin, so he is most likely to be replaced by Lian Ji."

"Hahaha, I thought I had played my role perfectly, but I didn't expect that the flaws had been seen through so far." Master Sun threw down his pen, and the sound that came out was that of a woman.

"Bold witch, when did you sneak in?"

Lian Ji ignored County Magistrate Han and looked at Ye Huaichen, "How did you know it was me?"

"Old witch, let me answer you. As soon as you saw Niu Meng, you stared at him lustfully. How could our highness not see that?

Also, when I scolded Lian Ji, you acted very timid. I thought you were afraid, but it turned out you were angry. How is it? Isn’t our prince very powerful? "

"Just these two points have confirmed my identity?"

"Also, you were stabbed by His Highness, and His Highness asked me to tell you about the battle that night in the yamen. You said your hand was sore, but it was actually your shoulder that was hurting."

"When I mentioned the Imperial Aunt, my eldest brother got a headache, but then he acted as if nothing had happened. I was sure that you were hiding here."

Lian Ji's face changed several times after hearing this, and then she sneered, "What a perceptive Seventh Prince you are, no wonder the Young Master has always told us not to underestimate you."

"Hmph! Hmph! Your tricks are not good enough in front of our Highness, old witch, your death is coming."

Lian Ji's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she refused to admit defeat and said, "You think you can do anything to me like this? It's too early to be happy."

Lian Ji picked up the whistle and started blowing it. Ye Huaifeng heard the whistle and attacked Ye Huaichen.

"Old witch, don't even think about escaping." Tianshu and his men stopped Lian Ji and attacked her.

"You little bastard, this guardian wants to kill you the most."

Although Lian Ji had a shoulder injury, she still had the upper hand against Tian Shu and his men. They were beaten back and the King pounced on them.

Ye Huaichen and Ye Huaifeng exchanged a few moves, and Ye Huaifeng suddenly stabbed Lian Ji from behind with a sword.

"You...you are not controlled." Lian Ji was stabbed in the back, and the king knocked her to the ground.

"The medicine that Your Highness took just now is the antidote."

"Hahaha, I underestimated you after all. This protector is giving you a gift."

Lian Ji flashed to Ye Huaifeng's side and quickly stabbed Ye Huaifeng with her hand stained with her own blood.

"Big Brother, get out of the way."

"Ugh!" However, it was too late. Lian Ji's speed was so fast that Ye Huaifeng had no time to dodge. Her fingertips pierced into Ye Huaifeng's body.

"The remaining energy of the Fire Spirit Stone can't save the two of you. Hahahaha, just wait to die!"

Ye Huaichen caught Ye Huaifeng, and as soon as the Ziwei sword came out, a sword light was cut out, heading straight for Lian Ji. The sword light cut her body, and Lian Ji fell heavily to the ground and died.

"The old woman said the Fire Spirit Stone, could it be that evil spell again?"

Ye Huaichen quickly gave the order: "Lian Ji is dead. County Magistrate Han, you cremate Lian Ji's body as soon as possible. Tianshu, you go find the third brother. Tianquan Qingfeng, you stay and thoroughly investigate the remnants of the Wangshen Sect in Tongcheng."

Ye Huaichen gave instructions, took Ye Huaifeng and sat on the king's back, and galloped out.
