Dali Temple was silent at the moment, and Chu Yan lived below, facing the prince across the air, but his momentum was not lost at all.

Feng Changxing frowned slightly, his eyes were gloomy and cold, but there was a smile on his face, and he asked, "Did the King of Guangling just say that he found the murderer?"

Chu Yan stepped forward, clasped his hands and saluted, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

Feng Changxing stared at him and couldn't see the strange look on his face, he couldn't figure out what this man was up to.

"Where is the murderer?"

"It's just outside the door." Chu Yan replied.

Feng Changxing twirled the jade wrench on his thumb, and after a moment of silence, he said flatly, "Bring it up."

As soon as the words fell, two guards walked in carrying a heavily tied man outside the door.

His face was painted, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't see his original appearance.

After getting closer, when Feng Changxing saw this person's face clearly, there was a subtle strangeness in his eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Who are you?"

The man's hands were tied with hemp rope, he knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed, tremblingly said: "The villain is originally from the Palace of the Third Highness."

As soon as the words fell, the face of the sitting interrogating minister suddenly changed, and he looked up subconsciously, but Feng Changxing was still smiling slightly, with no abnormality on his face.

After a brief silence, Feng Changxing looked at Chu Yan who was standing aside, and asked, "Is he the murderer?"

Chu Yan didn't answer, but silently kicked the man next to him.

The man's shoulders trembled in fright, and he hurriedly said: "The villain called Pu Chun. He was originally an entourage of the Third Highness. Later, because of a mistake, he was kicked out of the palace by the Third Highness. He went to several places and asked someone to introduce him to the stables in the paddock. Be a boy in there feeding the horses."

Feng Changxing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and asked knowingly, "Then why did you come here today?"

Pu Chun glanced at Chu Yan, who was standing behind him expressionlessly, and there was a flash of struggle in his eyes, and finally he said bravely, "Return to Your Highness, the villain is here to expose the Third Highness's murder of the Hun prince."

The smile in Feng Changxing's eyes subsided, and the interrogating minister, who was watching his words and expressions, immediately reprimanded: "Presumptuous!"

"How can the reputation of the Third Highness allow you to tarnish it like this!"

Chu Yan interrupted abruptly, "You might as well finish listening first."

Feng Changxing narrowed his eyes slightly, regained his smile, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Pu Chun leisurely, "Go on."

Pu Chun accepted the heavy and oppressive gazes around him, and said bravely, "The villain had just finished feeding the horses that day, and he heard someone talking faintly. The villain felt strange, so he secretly went to find out where the sound was."

"As a result, when I arrived at a stable, I saw Princess Qingyang was being..."

He looked a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to speak, and after deliberating for a while, he said, "I'm being bullied by Zuo Xianwang."

The official who was taking notes next to him stopped his pen and asked: "At that time, King Zuoxian had a pink pearl flower hairpin in his right eye?"

Pu Chun quickly shook his head and denied, "Nothing."

"The Xiongnu prince looked like he had been drugged, and fell asleep after a while. I saw Princess Qingyang get up from the haystack and run to the other side."

"Originally, the villain planned to call someone quickly, but after Princess Qingyang left, another person appeared in the stable."

"Who is here?" the interrogator asked.

Pu Chun hesitantly knelt down for a moment, then slammed his head on the stone brick, stammering, "It's the third... the third highness."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was dead silent.

The interrogating minister's eyes were shocked and terrified, and he didn't know how to continue the interrogation. The officer who was recording next to him also paused and looked at Pu Chun who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief.

Also unbelievable was Chu Dongge who was kneeling beside her. She was about to say something when a sharp and cold gaze suddenly came from above her head. She raised her eyes and met Chu Yan's dark and deep pupils. She didn't say anything, but Chu Dongge instantly understood what her second brother meant, and her lightly parted lips slowly closed again.

"Bold!" The interrogator knocked on the gavel and shouted: "The third prince went to Hanshan Temple that day, and he was not in the paddock at all."

Pu Chun said anxiously: "The villain dare not say a single lie."

"The person I saw in the stable that day was indeed the Third Highness."

Just as the interrogator was about to detain this person, Feng Changxing, who had been sitting silently behind the case, suddenly asked, "What happened next?"

Pu Chun stood up straight, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was carefully recalling the scene of that night.

"Later I kissed... saw with my own eyes the third... the third highness... picked up the pearl hairpin that fell on the ground and inserted it into King Zuo Xian's right eye...then lifted a stone and threw it at the back of King Zuo Xian's head."

"Nonsense." The interrogator said with a sneer, "According to the person who discovered it at the time, King Zuo Xian was found with his wounded body upside down. Isn't your statement contradictory?"

"Who told you that he was facing upwards?" Chu Yan who didn't say a word said suddenly, staring at the interrogating minister with Ruju's eyes, and said coolly: "We didn't go in that night, only the Huns and the Huns Princess Ursa has entered the stable."

"Could it be that you drew your conclusion from King Zuo Xian? Or...you saw it with your own eyes that night."

The interrogating minister turned pale with fright, and quickly got up to explain: "Return to the lord, it's my humble minister's inappropriate words, I hope the lord will forgive me."

Chu Yan looked away, ignored his confession, looked at Feng Changxing above, and said slowly: "There is also the matter of the post house being burned. The minister led his troops to catch one of the arsonists and is locking him in the mansion. Interrogation will reveal who is behind the instigation."

The corners of Feng Changxing's mouth curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, and it was even as cold as ice and snow.

He looked at Chu Dongge condescendingly, and said quietly: "Princess, did you really see the third prince that night?"

Just as Chu Dongge was about to speak, Feng Changxing suddenly said with deep meaning: "I will answer after thinking clearly. After all, if a person's life is on his shoulders, it may not be easy in the future."

"..." Singer Chu Dong's heart was flushed red, and the depths of her pupils were shaking uneasy. She bit her lower lip, raised her head in panic, and wanted to seek help from her second brother.

But this time her second brother didn't even give half a penny out of the corner of his eye, and looked straight ahead.

She couldn't make up her mind for a long time, the interrogating minister saw something strange, faintly sensed that something was wrong, and was about to ask questions, but Xiao Chunzi rushed in from outside in a hurry.

He bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

Feng Changxing said indifferently: "Come up."

Xiaochunzi bowed her waist, walked up to him on the stone steps, leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Feng Changxing was slightly startled, and looked sideways at him, "Really?"

Xiaochunzi nodded hastily.

Rubbing his chin with his index finger, Feng Changxing asked again, "Where is Xianfei?"

"I went to Hanshan Temple yesterday to pray for His Majesty, but I haven't returned yet."

"..."

Feng Changxing got up, walked out from behind the case unhurriedly, walked down the stone steps, and walked straight to Chu Yan.

With deep brows and eyes, he whispered, "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Chu Yan bowed his hands together, "Please speak, Your Highness."

"My third brother is missing." He looked at Chu Yan's expression that couldn't see any flaws, and said uncertainly, "Find him for me."

"Forget about the princess, and I won't pursue it any further."

Just now when Xiao Chunzi said that Feng Hanxiao had disappeared, Feng Changxing felt suspicious about it. After all, not seeing him at this time, it's not obvious that it makes people think about absconding in fear of crime.

But according to his third younger brother's scheming temperament since he was a child, how can he not know what consequences his disappearance will bring, so Feng Changxing guessed in his heart that Feng Hanxiao did not leave voluntarily, but was deliberately hidden to take the blame.

As for who has such great ability and courage, Feng Changxing couldn't think of another person besides the Guangling King standing in front of him.

"Yes." Chu Yan agreed, but after a while, he added, "My sister is young, and she is timid and shy by nature. She must be frightened these days. I hope that His Highness will show her a noble hand and let her go back to the mansion for a few days." day."

Feng Changxing's eyes suddenly darkened, "No!"

"Three days." Chu Yan greeted Feng Changxing's cold gaze, and said slowly: "If you haven't found the third highness in three days, I will come to Dali Temple with my sister to plead guilty, and at the same time hand over all the military power in my hand .”

Feng Changxing didn't expect him to make such a big 'gamble', a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said with something in his words: "It seems that King Guangling is very sure about this matter."

Chu Yan stood in front of him calmly and did not respond.

Seeing that this person's face remained unchanged, Feng Changxing felt a pent-up anger lingering in his chest, and after a long time, he raised a false and impeccable smile, "King Guangling and the princess' brother and sister are deeply in love, and I can't bear to stop it."

He looked at Chu Dongge who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and said gently: "Since the King of Guangling has said everything, let's go back to the manor together today, the princess."

Seeing that Chu Dongge was still kneeling in a daze, Chu Yan reminded him coldly, "I don't want to thank you yet."

Chu Dongge came back to his senses, and quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Changxing smiled without saying a word, looked at the minister standing not far away, and interrogated the minister nervously, "This case will be tried again at another day."

"Yes."

He walked out the door with his hands behind his back, and Xiao Chunzi followed behind with his whisk in his hands. When he was about to leave, Feng Changxing suddenly turned his head, looked at Pu Chun who was kneeling on the ground in a dark and unpredictable way, and dropped a sentence inexplicably. , "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

Hearing this, Pu Chun kowtowed several times in horror, and said in a panic: "The villain was kicked out of the palace by His Highness the Third Highness a few years ago, His Highness the Crown Prince must have admitted his mistake."

Feng Changxing took a deep look at him, lost his sentence and sent him to the prison, then turned and left.

Chu Yan took Chu Dongge's hand, exchanged glances with Pu Chun, who had a broken forehead, and then quickly looked away.

After leaving the palace, on the way back to the mansion, Chu Dongge was full of thoughts, buried his head, and sat silently on the soft bed.

Seeing the fast approaching the gate of the palace, Chu Dongge suddenly sobbed in a low voice, Chu Yan seemed not to have heard it, and leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.

"no……"

She suppressed her crying, choked up and said, "It's not the third prince."

Chu Dongge suddenly knelt down, grabbed Chu Yan's trousers, and cried incoherently, "Second Brother, I didn't mean to..."

"That day, I... I was afraid... that person was pressing on me..."

"Remembering what my father... my father said... I used... a pearl hairpin to pierce his eyes... and then... and then he cried out in pain... stood up... I was ready to run when I saw it..."

Chu Dongge's throat was choked up, and he couldn't speak anymore. All the emotions he had restrained for the past few days finally burst out, and he couldn't help crying. His clothes were instantly wet with big teardrops.

Finally, after she calmed down a little, she raised her head, looked at the second brother who was sitting as cold as ice, and said with a pale face, "He's dead."

"When I was running, he wanted to stop me, so I pushed him, but for some reason, he just fell down..."

Chu Dongge still wanted to speak, but Chu Yan suddenly reached out and pinched her fleshy throat.

"Second brother..." Chu Dongge caught a glimpse of the sternness in her second brother's eyes, and cried out in fear.

Chu Yan said coldly: "If you want to die, I will kill you now with my own hands."

Chu Dongge was so frightened that his pupils constricted, the hair on his back stood on end, and he stammered, "No...don't want...but I can't let...the third prince..."

"Then shut up!" Chu Yan interrupted coldly.

His palms tightened dangerously, and his dark eyes stared fiercely at Chu Dongge. After a long time, seeing that the girl was about to faint from fright, Chu Yan slowly let go.

Chu Dongge, who survived the catastrophe, was lying on the ground, her chest heaving violently, thinking that she was almost killed by her second brother just now, she shed tears in aggrieved way.

"Since you don't want to die, then forget about it and keep silent from now on."

Chu Yan's cold voice sounded above his head, it sounded impersonal, but it made Chu Dongge calm down strangely.

"It's not your fault, the person who made the mistake is already dead."

With red eyes, she raised her head and stared blankly at the second brother with a very cold expression.

Chu Yan didn't know what to think of, suddenly looked a little awkward, and said something in a low voice.

"And...sorry."

——He didn't make a good brother, both now and in his previous life.

Chu Dongge was dumbfounded when he heard these words, and sat on the ground blankly. When he came back to his senses, the accumulated grievances in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he got up ecstatically and threw himself into Chu Yan's arms.

"Second brother! No need to apologize, you are right."

Chu Yan's eyes were rare and soft, he hesitated and put his hand on the top of Chu Dongge's head, kneading the already messy bun into a messy chicken coop.
