Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan were shocked and didn't know what the emperor meant.

"King Chen was assassinated, and you were the first to arrive at the scene. Moreover, King Chen said something before he fell into coma." said the emperor.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan's hearts sank.

They knew that the emperor was suspicious of them.

"Your Majesty, what did King Chen say?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"King Chen said that the assassin's target may not only be him, but also you," said the emperor.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan's faces turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible? How could someone want to kill us?" Bai Qianqian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding here." Bai Jinyan said.

The emperor looked at the two of them with sharp eyes: "I also hope this is a misunderstanding. However, King Chen's words make me doubt it."

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan's hearts were filled with despair.

They knew that the emperor had become suspicious of them.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation and prove my innocence." Bai Qianqian said.

"I am willing too." Bai Jinyan said.

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I will have someone investigate this matter. Before the results of the investigation come out, you will stay in the palace and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They knew that they had become the emperor's suspects.

If they had not detoxified and saved the emperor before, he would have been beheaded by now.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan were left in the palace by the emperor, their hearts filled with helplessness and worry.

During their time in the palace, they remained vigilant at all times, fearing that they would become the next target.

At the same time, they are also trying to find evidence to prove their innocence.

One day, Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan were walking in the garden when they suddenly spotted a suspicious person.

The man was wandering stealthily about the garden, seemingly looking for something.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan followed quietly, wanting to see what was going on.

I saw the man come to a rockery, look around, and then take something out of his arms.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan looked closely and found that the man was holding a dagger in his hand!

They were suddenly shocked. Could this person be the murderer who assassinated King Chen?

At this moment, the man suddenly turned around and discovered Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan.

A look of panic appeared on his face, and then he turned and ran.

How could Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan let him succeed? They immediately chased after him.

After a fierce chase, the man was finally subdued.

"Tell me! Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate King Chen?" Bai Qianqian asked loudly.

The man lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Bai Jinyan took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

After a while, the man began to twitch all over and foam at the mouth.

"What did you give him to eat?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"This is a poison that can make people tell the truth." Bai Jinyan said.

After a while, the man stopped twitching and began to speak.

"I...I was instructed by someone..." said the man.

"Who ordered you to do that?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"Yes...it's the third prince..." said the man.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan looked at each other, both of them were filled with shock. They had never expected that the one who assassinated King Chen was actually the Third Prince!

"Why did the third prince want to assassinate King Chen?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"Because... because King Dust discovered his secret..." said the man.

"What secret?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"The Third Prince... The Third Prince and the Queen..." said the man.

When Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan heard this, they immediately understood everything.

It turns out that the Third Prince and the Queen have been secretly colluding in an attempt to overthrow the Emperor and ascend the throne themselves.

The existence of King Dust became their biggest obstacle.

"Why are you telling us this?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"Because... because I don't want to do bad things anymore..." said the man.

It turned out that this person was the personal bodyguard of the third prince. Unable to bear the condemnation of his conscience, he decided to confess everything to Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan.

After hearing what this person said, Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan were filled with emotion.

They didn't expect that there was such a deep conspiracy hidden in the palace.

"What should we do?" Bai Qianqian asked.

"We must tell the emperor this news..." Bai Jinyan said.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that exposing this conspiracy might not only endanger their own lives, but also trigger a bloody storm in the palace.

"I'll take care of this matter, big sister." Bai Qianqian had already made up her mind.

Bai Jinyan nodded.

She knew that the fourth sister was a person with a secret.

And didn't stop it.

As she spoke, Bai Qianqian took out a piece of paper from her bosom, quickly wrote a few words, then rolled up the paper and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube.

She silently recited the white cat's name in her heart.

In an instant, a red light flashed, and a white cat appeared in front of the two people.

Bai Jinyan's face was filled with shock, but he didn't scream out in the end.

Bai Qianqian held the white cat and whispered twice in its ear.

The white cat waved its paw and glanced at Bai Jinyan.

Then he took the bamboo tube and quickly disappeared in the palace.

"Big sister, I will let the white cat pass a message to King Chen. He will definitely help us find evidence to prove the conspiracy of the third prince and the queen." Bai Jinyan said.

Bai Qianqian nodded. She knew that all they could do now was to wait and remain vigilant in case of any accidents.

A few days later, Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan were walking in the small garden in the palace when they suddenly met the emperor.

"Your Majesty, best regards." The two men saluted in unison.

The emperor looked at them, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions: "You two, have you been doing well in the palace during this period?"

"Your Majesty, we are all fine in the palace, but I am a little worried." Bai Qianqian answered cautiously.

The emperor nodded slightly: "I know the worries in your hearts. Regarding the assassination of King Chen, I have made new discoveries."

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan felt nervous. They didn't know whether the emperor had discovered the conspiracy of the third prince and the queen.

"I have discovered that the assassination of King Chen is not as simple as it seems. I have sent people to investigate secretly, and I believe that the truth will be revealed to the world soon." The emperor's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan looked at each other, their hearts full of anticipation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." They said in unison.

"You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do." The emperor waved his hand. "Prince Chen is my son. I will investigate his assassination thoroughly."

"Your Majesty is wise." Bai Qianqian said.
