The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

Shen Lansui said vaguely: "No, I just happened to wake up."

Seeing that she was still sleepy, Lu Xingyue said nothing, patted her back gently, and slowly coaxed her to sleep.

He was too sleepy after a busy night and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At three o'clock in the morning, the two of them woke up together. Shen Lansui asked Lu Xingyue: "How is it? Did the trial reveal anything? What happened to the Seventh Prince?"

Lu Xingyue sat on the bedside and whispered: "I met the seventh prince. He said that he was wronged. He didn't even know what was going on. The man in black said that he was following his order and there was something in his hand. His private seal was bitten to death because of his instigation, saying that he knew my identity and was afraid that I would threaten his status."

"It sounds reasonable and reasonable. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. It seems that the Seventh Prince has no chance of turning over."

Shen Lansui frowned, "Is it really that simple? Why do I feel wrong?"

"The private seal has been checked so far, and it does belong to the seventh prince. The seventh prince said that his private seal has been kept in the study room of the mansion. Not many people know where it is. Anyone who knows and can get it must be someone he trusts. people."

Lu Xingyue held Shen Lansui's back and said, "The water is getting muddier."

Just as Shen Lansui was about to speak, Guan Chun suddenly knocked on the door, "Master Marquis, madam, Princess Rong Zhao is here."

Shen Lansui sat up and looked at Lu Xingyue, "I'm probably here because of the seventh prince's affairs."

Lu Xingyue got out of bed and said to Guan Chun, "Princess, please go and sit in the front hall for a while."

"Yes."

Lu Xingyue picked up the clothes on the hanger and handed them to Shen Lansui, "Go and take a look before we talk."

After the two freshened up and changed clothes, they went to the front hall. Princess Rong Zhao was not as anxious as they imagined. She sat in an armchair with tea and sipped it calmly. When she heard the footsteps, she turned her head slightly and smiled at them. "Did I come early? Did you just get up?"

Shen Lansui bowed and said, "I have met the princess."

"You're pregnant, so you don't need to be polite."

Rong Zhao stood up and pulled her to sit down on the chair. He nodded to Lu Xingyue, "Sit down too. Don't worry. I'm not here to plead for Brother Seventh today. I'm just here to see you and say a few words."

"That night, Lu Xingyue came out with you covered in blood, but it shocked me. I always wanted to come and see you, but I couldn't get away, so I got the chance today."

Rong Zhao held Shen Lansui's hand, looked her up and down, and smiled happily after making sure she was fine.

Shen Lansui said: "I haven't thanked the princess yet. If the princess hadn't come with the troops, we would have suffered even greater losses."

After hearing what she said, Rong Zhao waved his hand, "Don't say this, I'm so ashamed. I asked you to go with me to burn incense. In the end, we were all fine, but you were kidnapped. This is not naked." Hit me in the face?"

Shen Lansui's heart moved, yes, how could she forget this?

It was Princess Rong Zhao who invited her there, saying she wanted to see the Crown Princess. Why did the Crown Princess suddenly want to offer incense?

With a thought in her mind, she raised her head and looked at Lu Xingyue. Lu Xingyue understood, and the two exchanged a knowing look.

As expected, Rong Zhao didn't say a word to plead for the Seventh Prince. She brought a bunch of good medicinal materials and asked Shen Lansui to take good care of her health. She just said to Lu Xingyue before leaving: "Master Hou, don't put any pressure on this case. Investigate it." That’s it, if you encounter any trouble that you can’t come forward, just tell me and I will come in person. I also want to know who is so eager to kill the siblings.”

Lu Xingyue raised his hand and said, "I understand, thank you very much, princess."

Princess Rong Zhao's words reminded them that Shen Lansui and Lu Xingyue decided to start with the Crown Princess.

Lu Xingyue went to the imperial prison. The seventh prince refused to plead guilty. The killer was still interrogating. The bribed monk only wanted money and didn't know anything else. The case has reached a deadlock, and new breakthroughs can only be found.

As a man, Lu Xingyue could not interrogate the princess, so he could only go to the palace to seek help from Emperor Hui'an.

Emperor Hui'an thought for a moment and asked the queen to summon the princess into the palace, and Rong Zhao asked the queen together.

The Crown Princess bit her to death because she wanted to pray for the fetus in her belly and wanted to see the peach blossoms in Lingshan Temple, so she invited Rong Zhao to go with her. She was afraid of an accident so she asked Shen Lansui to go with her.

It seems reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

Emperor Hui'an asked Lu Xingyue: "Are you suspicious of the prince?"

Lu Xingyue pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "When I was investigating my mother's past, I found that someone went to another village. An old man in the village was bribed and a lot of information was leaked. I followed that line to investigate and found out what happened. Once we find out who instigated it, something happened to my wife. I suspect that someone knew my identity, so I planned the kidnapping. There are only a handful of people in the Yangtze who can do this without knowing it."

Emperor Hui'an was silent, tapping his fingers on his knees.

Lu Xingyue observed the anger between his brows and whispered: "I look suspicious on anyone now."

Emperor Hui'an's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled and said: "This matter cannot be rushed. Seeing may not necessarily be believed, and what you find may not be true. Maybe someone did it on purpose."

Lu Xingyue asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you believe His Majesty Seventh Prince?"

Emperor Hui'an asked instead, "You have had contact with Lao Qi. What do you think of him?"

"His Seventh Highness is sincere in his treatment of others and has a gentle and generous personality." Lu Xingyue said truthfully.

Emperor Hui'an didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "Continue to investigate, starting with the people around Lao Qi, and see who they have come into contact with."

The royal guards were dispatched in full force, causing panic in the harem.

New people enter the prison every three days.

Everyone is waiting, some are waiting for results, some are waiting for opportunities.

Finally, two days later, a close confidant of the seventh prince confessed, saying that the prince held his family members hostage and forced him to steal the seventh prince's private seal. He didn't know what the prince wanted to do with the private seal. The prince said that he would not harm the seventh prince. He agreed to save his life, but he didn't expect it would come to this.

When this confession came out, everyone was shocked, the seventh prince was the most unbelievable.

He was imprisoned in the prison for several days and lost a lot of weight. It was a joy to finally get out, but he never expected that the fire would eventually burn the prince.

After the seventh prince took a shower and changed his clothes, he went straight to the imperial study, but happened to see Emperor Hui'an getting furious inside.

Lu Xingyue saw him and winked at him, telling him not to plead for the prince at this time.

The seventh prince couldn't hold back and spoke anyway. Emperor Hui'an waited for him to finish and sneered, "Thank you for thinking about him. He didn't say a word for you when you were in prison!"

"No matter what the imperial brother is, he is still my elder brother. I don't believe that the imperial brother would do such a thing. I beg my father to see clearly!"

Emperor Hui'an looked at him deeply, grabbed a pile of paper on the table and threw it down, "See for yourself! See what good things he has done!"
