The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 253: Clothes Stealer
"No, let's not talk about this for now, okay? Didn't you go to investigate? What were the results of your investigation?" Bai Qianxi changed the subject.

Since the two separated yesterday, Bai Qianxi told the other party some of the questions and speculations in her mind.

At that time, she didn't know her identity and just wanted to use this to clear herself of suspicion. Now that she wants to investigate, these evidences have become extremely crucial!
Seeing her like this, Ye Beiling wanted to say something else.

But seeing the expression on the other person's face, he finally stopped talking about this topic.

"I have found out what you asked me to investigate. Your dress was originally bought by a little girl who saw that it was valuable and wanted to secretly take it out of the palace to sell it."

"It was during this process that someone tore a small piece of fabric from the clothes, which led to all these events that followed."

"But there were so many people around at that time, and even my people couldn't find out who was the person who secretly tore off the clothes." Speaking of this, Ye Beiling felt a little guilty.

If only he had paid more attention.

Bai Qianxi nodded in understanding.

The situation was indeed very chaotic at the time, so it is normal that such a thing could not be investigated, not to mention that when the other party did this, they must have tried to hide themselves.

"Where's the one who stole the clothes?"

"She has been arrested. I have interrogated her and she insisted that she was just being greedy and had nothing to do with anyone else."

"Then it seems that it should be okay."

Judging from Ye Beiling's interrogation methods, Bai Qianxi believed that not only an ordinary maid, but even an ordinary assassin would not be able to survive for long in his hands.

The two people talked as they walked, but there was always a distance between them.

Ye Beiling wanted to get closer, but Bai Qianxi always avoided him calmly. Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away, he could only give up helplessly.

The group of people behind them could see the atmosphere between the two and became cautious and did not dare to speak casually.

The group quickly found Emperor Dongli.

Looking at the person who appeared in front of him, Emperor Dongli was slightly stunned, "Have you found the murderer?"

"No." Bai Qianxi's cold voice sounded, "But we have found a lot of clues today, and we will continue to investigate tomorrow."

"The results should be out soon."

The method used by the person behind the scenes to commit the crime this time seemed quite sophisticated, but there were still many things that could not be hidden from her eyes.

"Oh? Then I wonder what you have found out today? Do you have any evidence to prove that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Emperor Dongli became interested and looked at Bai Qianxi closely.

"We have found out some things, and I have to thank the Third Prince for that."

Hearing such an unfamiliar name, Ye Beiling frowned slightly, but when he thought about the presence of other people, his frown relaxed a little.

Emperor Dongli also noticed him at this time, and saw that his movements seemed to always want to get closer to Xier cautiously.

But Xier avoided it calmly.

His expression was a little complicated.

After all, he was the one who was sorry for the two children.

Soon Bai Qianxi told Ye Beiling what he had found out from his investigation.

"I've brought that person here too. Would you like to take a look, Father?"

"No need, I trust you."

Emperor Dongli waved his hand, then ordered the guards to lock the man up for the time being.

He turned his gaze back to Bai Qianxi. "Since it has been confirmed that your clothes were taken away by a villain, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Just as he was about to draw this conclusion, a voice quickly rang out, "Your Majesty!"

It's the queen.

Today she is still wearing the bright red phoenix gown. Although it is not as luxurious as yesterday, it still looks valuable and makes her face look even more bright and eye-catching.

"Sister Yunfei lost a relative and is unable to come here today. As the queen, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, but this matter still belongs to the inner palace."

"A prince has suffered such a great loss. This is a major matter. I must make the decision for the child no matter what." As she spoke, the queen looked at Bai Qianxi.

"County Lady, you are a criminal, and His Majesty has shown great generosity by allowing you to investigate the case and prove your innocence. Now you haven't found out anything yet."

"You dare to conclude that you are innocent when you don't even know who the murderer is. I'm afraid it's hard to convince people with such an argument."

The queen stared at Bai Qianxi, waiting to see guilt on her face.

However, no matter how she stared at him, the other party remained calm and indifferent.

"Empress." Emperor Dongli also spoke at this time, "There is actually no conflict between finding the murderer and proving Xuyang's innocence."

"I know that you, Queen, are concerned about the affairs of the harem, but you must also make judgments based on the facts at the appropriate time. The county lord herself is not responsible for investigating the case."

"It's already very good that they have found out so much. Queen, please don't be too harsh on her."

"Your Majesty said that I was too harsh!"

When the queen heard him say this, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Over the years, I have worked diligently and tirelessly for the entire royal family, and have never complained about any grievances."

"Today, I am only discussing the matter at hand. I just want to get a fair and just result regarding the matter of Sister Yunfei's child."

The queen looked very aggrieved at this time.

Emperor Dongli frowned slightly, "I have my own decision on this matter."

"Since Xuyang has found enough evidence to prove that this matter has nothing to do with her, I can no longer treat her with my previous attitude. But I still hope you can continue to investigate what happened later." Emperor Dongli looked at Bai Qianxi in front of him with pity and spoke.

He was pleased that the child had such ability, but at the same time he could also see how much the child had suffered in the past.

The queen looked at the man standing next to her and was determined to protect the little girl at all costs.

She's just an insignificant little girl, why is she so difficult to deal with?
Especially now, the emperor's attitude towards this dead girl is obviously biased. What attitude? Was his attitude towards this dead girl bad before?

In name, it was house arrest, but she was given the greatest rights to walk freely in the palace, and even sent maids to serve her! I'm afraid that ordinary princesses don't have this kind of treatment!
Thinking of this, the queen gritted her teeth again. The emperor’s love for her daughter is a bit too much!
No one knew what she was thinking. Facing Emperor Dongli's request, Bai Qianxi nodded again.

"Since Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to me, I will never let Your Majesty down. Even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, I will do it!"

"Very good!"

"In that case, if you need any help, you can tell me and I will take care of it for you."

Emperor Dongli made a promise, not just about investigating the case, but even in other matters, he would not let her suffer any injustice!
Ye Beiling looked at the two of them in confusion. Based on what he knew about his father, it was impossible for him to be so kind to Xier.

Especially the loving light in his eyes, he never looked at him like this when he looked at himself...

This was settled, and the queen left.
