Prince Qingyang and Prince Pingliang were attacked on their way out of the capital. Prince Qingyang and his wife were both killed, and Prince Pingliang was seriously injured. When the news reached the capital, the court and the public were shocked.

Under the feet of the emperor, in a bright and clear world, the royal family members were actually killed by bandits!

The Prince of Pingliang was seriously injured and could not return to Pingliang, so the Emperor gave him a house in the capital to recuperate.

Since Xie Xuan was away, the task of investigating the case fell on Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi investigated for several days until the county examination was over and the seventh day after the death of Prince Qingyang and his wife had passed, but he still found nothing.

The emperor ordered Zhu Qi to solve the case within a month. Zhu Qi felt that he could not solve the case, so he ran to Su Fengyi to complain and entrust his son to her.

Zhu Qi cried and said:

"Your Highness, I am going to fail this time. I will leave my wife and daughter in your care."

Su Fengyi was looking at a portrait sent to her by Xue Yu. Although Prince Pingliang was seriously injured and bedridden, he was still not idle. Yesterday he sent another beauty to the emperor.

The emperor liked her very much and had an affair with her yesterday. On the same day, he promoted her to the rank of Chen Fei, the only concubine in the palace below Hui Guifei.

Su Fengyi looked carefully at the portrait of this Concubine Chen and felt that she looked about 70% like Wutong and 100% like Princess Qingyang.

Su Fengyi looked at the portrait and asked Zhu Qi:

"Did you find out nothing, or did you find out something but don't dare to say it?"

The reason why Zhu Qi came to Su Fengyi to cry was to find Su Fengyi to find a solution. Seeing that the princess was so considerate, he took the initiative to ask and quickly said:

"Your Highness, this is very strange. There is no trace of those thieves at all. It's like they just dropped from the sky. Apart from the traces of fighting at the scene, they came and went without a trace.

And those few thieves who died, I checked their identities and found out they were actually members of the Imperial Guards. Commander Lu and King Qingyang have no grudges against each other, so why kill him? If you really want to kill him, you shouldn't use your own people. "

Su Fengyi received the portrait:

"There are no outsiders here. Just say whatever you want to say."

Zhu Qi then plucked up the courage to say:

"The thief came and went without a trace. Could it be that he was in Prince Pingliang's carriage? But this doesn't make sense. Prince Qingyang is Prince Pingliang's younger brother. Why would he kill his own brother?

There is another possibility, that the imperial guards are well-informed, set up an ambush in advance, and then hid their tracks afterwards, that is. "

Zhu Qi still didn't dare to speak since he and the princess were alone. He pointed his finger to the sky again and then said:

"The last possibility is Commander Lu. Your Highness, I dare not report the first two. The time limit is up. For my own protection, I have to report the matter of the Imperial Guards."

Su Fengyi said to him:

"Regarding the Imperial Guards, please write a list. I will ask Lu Hong to check it himself and will not embarrass Commander Zhu."

The princess said that she was in the same boat with him. Zhu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and took out a letter:

"This is what I found. The names and traces are all included here."

Su Fengyi received the list and went straight into the palace. Instead of looking for Lu Hong first, she went to find the emperor first.

The emperor was still resting in the palace of Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen lived in Chengqian Palace.

Chen refers to the emperor.

Chengqian Palace is the head of the harem.

The grace during this period is evident.

Xue Yu went to pass the message, and Su Fengyi was waiting in the main hall of Chengqian Palace. After waiting for a long time, the emperor finally arrived, looking sleepy.

The last time, the two of them had a bad argument because of Wutong, so Su Fengyi hasn't entered the palace for a long time.

Seeing the emperor, Su Fengyi felt that she no longer had the patience to coax him as before, and she didn't want to coax him anymore, so she asked him directly:

"Is Concubine Chen the Princess of Qingyang?"

The emperor looked away, and used drinking tea to cover up his guilty conscience:

"I just found out yesterday. She has nowhere to go. I just want to take care of her."

Su Fengyi felt her anger rising:

"She is the emperor's aunt, the Princess of Qingyang of our Great Mu Dynasty, and the daughter of the Xu family, a prominent family in Qingyang. She can go anywhere in the world! Except for the palace, she can go anywhere!

The emperor wanted to take care of her, give her a title, give her money, let her go home and marry someone else, or let Uncle Nineteen adopt a bloodline to be hers, why did he insist on taking care of her and bringing her into the palace? Your Majesty, Uncle Nineteen, did you kill him?"

The emperor was already unhappy with being scolded by his own sister and was about to lose his temper.

After hearing the last sentence from his sister, the emperor spat out a mouthful of tea and couldn't even catch his breath. He said in surprise:

"It's not me! No, sister, in your eyes, I am this kind of person!"

Su Fengyi was so angry that she was speechless. After a while, she sighed:

"Whether the emperor is this kind of person or not is not important in my eyes. What is important is whether the emperor is this kind of person in the eyes of the world. It sounds good to have the reputation of murdering the emperor's uncle and forcibly occupying the aunt? Your Majesty, send her away. Princess Qingyang cannot stay in the palace."

The Emperor had just gotten Princess Qingyang yesterday, and he was reluctant to let her go. He snorted and said:

"The innocent are innocent. It's not me who did it. I'm afraid they won't be able to prove it! Besides, Uncle Nineteen is dead, so she is no longer the Princess of Qingyang. I am the emperor, so why can't I have her?"

Su Fengyi looked at her stubborn brother and didn't want to say anything to him anymore, so she turned away.

After leaving the main hall, Su Fengyi went directly to the back hall of Chengqian Palace to find the Princess of Qingyang, also known as the Concubine Chen.

The Concubine Chen was tormented by the Emperor all night last night. She had just gone to bed this morning and hadn't gotten up yet.

Su Fengyi rushed into the inner room of the bedroom. The palace maid guarding the door wanted to stop her, but Su Fengyi glanced at her and the palace maid was so scared that her legs went limp that she dared not to stop her.

Su Fengyi pushed open the door, and the bedroom was filled with the smell of spices mixed with lustful air. A torn official uniform was thrown on the ground, and judging from the size, it was worn by a woman.

Hearing the door opening, the sleeping Concubine Chen pulled up the quilt and sat up. Her body, which was not covered by the quilt, was covered with red marks from lovemaking.
