The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

The fifth prince was speechless at the first sight, and the emperor also glanced at him sideways as he listened.

"Chu Jian, based on what you said, who do you think that person of high status and identity could be?" The emperor's face turned dark. What Chu Jian said made sense, so someone must have lied.

"I don't know, but it wasn't me." I was a little scared when I first saw the emperor's face.

"If it's not you, then it could be Qingshan!" The emperor knew it couldn't be Xiaojiu, but everyone in the deep enclosure was a suspect.

"Impossible! Qingshan was near the prince, and they met at that time!" Chu Jian immediately retorted.

"How do you know?" The emperor was very dissatisfied with her attitude of being eager to distance herself from the matter, especially when she involved the crown prince.

"After returning to the tent yesterday, I told the maid that the red fox hunted by the prince was really beautiful. She said that the red fox was actually chased out of the cave by Qingmu, and the prince saw it and killed it first during the chase. Of course, the prince didn't know that it was Qingmu who chased it out, and Qingmu didn't say it at the time. Anyway, they have met before, which can prove that they were not at the crime scene at that time!"

"How do you know it was that time?" the fifth prince spoke again.

"Fifth brother! Can't you see for yourself?! From the degree of stiffness of the corpses, as well as the color and range of the corpse spots, we can infer that they died at the beginning of the afternoon yesterday! At that time, Qingshan and Qingmu were resting and preparing to sort out the prey, and they accidentally discovered the Red Fox Cave. It was at that time that they met the prince!" Full firepower at the first sight.

"Father, it is true. Yesterday at about 3 p.m., I met Qingshan and Qingmu." The prince gave evidence, and these words at the first sight just happened to dispel his suspicion.

"Humph! I didn't expect Princess Zhan to be able to do this! Lord Li just said that he would have to transport the body back for examination by the coroner to find out the time of death."

The Fifth Prince really wouldn't look at it. As a prince, he had no interest in corpses. He also didn't think what Chu Jian said was right. How could a woman be interested in that?

"If we go back and ask the coroner to check it, it will be at this time. I can't be wrong!" Chu Jian argued.

"You can't be wrong, Princess Zhan, tell me first, how did you, a girl who grew up in the countryside, learn such an unlucky skill?" The fifth prince would not let her go.

"you……"

She was speechless when she first saw it. She couldn't say that this was a required course in her anatomy class in medical school.

"Wow...Muyang, Fifth Brother said I am unlucky!" Chu Jian stomped her feet in anger, turned around, buried her head in Jing Muyang's arms and burst into tears.

"Fifth brother is always targeting me. Last time at the Princess's Mansion, he encouraged you to take a concubine, mocked me for being illiterate and good for nothing, and even took advantage of his status as a prince to force me to write poetry. Today, so many of my brothers have remained silent, but he has been targeting me, picking on me, and even saying that I am unlucky. Wuuwuwu... Muyang... wuuwuwu..."

When I first saw you, I cried so sadly and felt so wronged.

Fifth Prince...didn't we stop the last incident? We also agreed not to complain to our father!

Jing Muyang held her in his arms and patted her to comfort her.

"Fifth brother, you can't say it's unlucky for others to know something you don't know. Chu Jian is studying medicine with the genius doctor, so it's normal for him to know these things occasionally. And why is being a coroner unlucky? A profession that helps the dead to seek justice, a person who has the courage to stand up and do what others are unwilling to do, Xiao Jiu thinks they deserve respect."

"Father! I..." The Fifth Prince realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Enough! Aren't you ashamed yet?" The emperor's face turned even darker. Regardless of whether Chu Jian was right or not, Xiao Wu's attitude was very suspicious. Could it be that he did it?

"Li Chang! You are responsible for this matter. Report directly to me!"

"Your humble servant obeys your order!" Lord Li wiped his sweat. It was really like a fight between gods, and he, a little devil, was suffering. This matter was not easy to handle.

In addition, the emperor also announced that he would return to court tomorrow. He would go back to check who poisoned him and whether it was related to this incident which happened three months ago. Only Xiaojiu could be ruled out as a suspect.

The emperor began to worry about his sons, including the crown prince. If the crown prince was forced into a corner by others, he might want to take the throne early.

Xiaojiu looks harmless and obedient, but the man who came back from the pile of corpses on the battlefield is not as simple as he seems. He is just holding a concubine in his hand, and if he is forced into a corner, it is hard to say what will happen!

Thinking of this, he got a headache again. That imperial concubine was really becoming more and more unpleasant. She mentioned Chu Xia’s matter again yesterday.

Even if they found out that Chu Jian was indeed weak since childhood, what would happen? He had already issued two imperial decrees. Why would he issue another decree for such a trivial matter? Is there only one Chu Xia in the world? Just give Chu Xia away when he gets back!

When the emperor was depressed, she was also very depressed when she first saw this. She was really angry with Jing Muhao, but at the moment she was more worried that if Jing Muyang was cleared of suspicion, he would be targeted by other princes.

People are all like this. If they themselves are fishy, ​​they can't stand others being clean.

But, as the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Sometimes, she also vaguely felt that Mu Yang might not be as simple as he seemed. What if there were many shady things behind him and they were caught, then wouldn’t they be finished?

"Mu Yang, have I caused you any trouble?"

"No." Jing Muyang held her and sat her on his lap. "Not only did you not cause any trouble today, you also helped me a lot!"

"Really? What's the big deal?"

"Last night, Qingshan and his men actually fought with the murderer and chased him all the way to the outermost edge of the enclosure. They were almost caught, but he was rescued by someone who had the mark of the Prince's Palace among the people who came to rescue him. I was just worrying about how to lead this to them. Father will not easily believe me, and Fifth Brother's reaction today made Father suspicious. If he suspects one, he will suspect all, so he will check every one of them."

"Mu Yang, will your father investigate you? Are you afraid of him investigating?"

"What do I have to be afraid of? I didn't do those things."

"You've never done anything bad? I don't believe it. I'm afraid that if they investigate further, all your bad deeds will be exposed!"

"Now that you mention it, I'm scared too. If they really find out something, we'll be doomed." Jing Muyang pretended to be serious.

I was so scared when I first saw him that I jumped out of his arms. Only when I saw his playful expression did I realize I had been tricked.

"Mu Yang, don't do this, I'm timid and afraid of death!"
