Film and Television: In Joy of Life, he marries Fan Ruoruo!

Chapter 338: The sincere and self-destructive one!

"Caiwei, I need your help with something now."

Before Lin'an spoke, Huaiqing directly determined the direction of the investigation and started by checking the palace maids in front of him.

Madam Rong stammered, "Your Highness... the man Huang Xiaorou had an affair with..."

"Shut up! Check these palace maids first!"

Huaiqing's words were so harsh that Rong Mama shrank her neck in fear and looked at Lin'an for help.

Lin'an's mind was full of what Li Chang'an taught her, and she didn't feel Rong Mama's gaze.

"We must investigate each clue one by one, including the tearing up of the Imperial Pharmacy records and Huang Xiaorou's affair with a man. We cannot let any of them go."

"Even if we listen to Huai Qing and investigate the palace maids first, we can't let go of Huang Xiaorou's clues. Rong Mama, you just wait for a while."

After Lin'an finished speaking, he felt that he was very fair and finally sorted out the clues.

Then, she spoke before Huaiqing could, and said to Chu Caiwei, "Caiwei, this is what's going on. Listen to me, don't listen to Huaiqing..."

Lin'an recounted the case in a chattering manner, and Huaiqing did not refute it. Although Lin'an's words were a bit disorganized, they were generally correct.

Chu Caiwei swallowed a candied haws and said, "Your Highness Lin'an, I didn't remember what you said. Now you want me to use the Qi-gazing technique to check on the palace maids, right?"

Lin'an couldn't help but be stunned. She had finally organized her thoughts and said so much, but Chu Caiwei didn't even remember it!

A feeling of frustration arose spontaneously, but she soon realized that it was not that she could not explain it clearly, but that Chu Caiwei was too stupid!

Yes, that must be the case!

Huai Qing nodded slowly and said, "That's right. We are going to ask these palace maids some questions. You just need to judge whether they are lying or not."

Chu Caiwei nodded happily, "It's so simple, I understand."

Next, Huaiqing and Lin'an began to question the palace maids on the list. Most of them came to get some medicine because their masters were not feeling well.

The symptoms and drug names were described very accurately, and Chu Caiwei didn't realize who was lying.

When it was Lang'er from Jingxiu Palace's turn, Huaiqing immediately took notice of her, as she was a maid in Concubine Chen's palace.

Huaiqing asked, "Have you been to the Imperial Pharmacy a few days ago?"

Lang'er knelt on the ground and nodded nervously, "Yes, after the prince got into trouble, the queen has been crying all day, she is listless and has a headache. I went to get some medicine to refresh her mind."

Huaiqing turned his gaze to Chu Caiwei, who said confidently, "No problem, her breath is very stable, she is not lying."

But at this time, Lin An tilted his head and said, "Huh? I've been to Jingxiu Palace every day these days."

"Mother is very sad, but I didn't hear that she had a headache, and I didn't see her taking medicine during meals."

Huaiqing's heart trembled, and he immediately grasped the flaw. Lin'an was really simple-minded.

Lang'er's expression tensed, and then she immediately said, "The Queen couldn't bear to see Your Highness worry, so she took the medicine only after Your Highness left."

Lin An couldn't help but look sad, "Mother... Mother has suffered so much, I will definitely find out the truth!"

However, Huaiqing's eyes flashed as she stared closely at Lang'er's every move. She had great prestige in the palace and was very familiar with the habits of these palace maids.

Just when Lin'an was speaking, Lang'er was obviously very nervous, with his eyes flashing and his fists clenched, which was definitely a sign of lying.

"Lang'er, were you the one who tore up the medicine collection record from the Imperial Pharmacy?" Huaiqing asked sternly.

"No, no! What, what record... I don't know." Lang'er tried to appear calm, but still stuttered.

Lin An immediately said angrily, "Huai Qing, what are you thinking about! How could Lang Er lie? Could it be that the mother is framing her own son?"

Huaiqing was silent, but her mind was quickly sorting out the information. If Concubine Chen was the one who planned this, then her target should be her mother and Wei Yuan.

Although the Fourth Prince is not the Crown Prince, he will always have a chance to turn things around because of the Queen and Wei Yuan.

If it was Concubine Chen who planned and put the blame on the Queen, and it was eventually discovered that it was the Queen who framed the Prince, then the Queen's position would definitely be lost.

She did not answer Lin'an, but looked at Chu Caiwei.

Chu Caiwei still shook her head, "The breath is very steady, I'm not lying."

Intuition and experience told Huaiqing that there must be something wrong with this Lang'er, but Chu Caiwei couldn't see it.

"Detain all these palace maids in solitary confinement. I will interrogate them one by one!" Huai Qing ordered.

Lin An said dissatisfiedly, "Huaiqing, Caiwei has observed everything. What problems could there be with these people? This clue should be ruled out. The records were not torn up by these people."

"Madame Rong, who is the man who had an affair with Huang Xiaorou?"

When Rong Mama saw Lin An asking questions, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, a palace maid heard Huang Xiaorou once mutter to herself that the man's surname seemed to be Shangguan...but she didn't hear the specific name clearly."

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The two princesses sneered at the same time, and then stared at each other tit for tat.

"Huaiqing, the only person with the surname Shangguan who often enters the palace is probably him!"

Huaiqing sneered because the truth of this case had finally been revealed, and the target was the emperor's uncle, the queen's younger brother.

That extravagant second-generation rich man used to frequently enter the palace, but was later ordered by the empress not to enter again.

The king's uncle had an affair with a palace maid, and was caught by Concubine Chen. She then devised a series of schemes, not hesitating to use her own son as a pawn, in order to completely defeat the queen and become the queen herself.

This must be Concubine Chen’s conspiracy!

Because Rong Mama's news about the emperor's uncle came at such a timely moment, it was obviously guiding the investigation.

The fundamental reason why Huaiqing made this judgment was his deep understanding of the queen's temperament. The queen was a kind-hearted person and would not do such a thing as to frame the prince with a life.

She cared very little about her position as queen and never thought of letting her son compete for the position of crown prince.

But Concubine Chen was completely different. It was she who reported the old relationship between the Queen and Wei Yuan. So Huaiqing had reason to suspect that all of this was the work of Concubine Chen.

"Lin'an, it's hard to tell what the truth is now. Once I have interrogated these palace maids, the truth will naturally come out!"

Lin An was not convinced and said, "Huaiqing, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. The clues about the prince's uncle are so obvious, and you are still trying to cover it up!"

"You want to investigate these palace maids, then do it yourself! I'm going to arrest your uncle, and then we'll see how you can deny it!"

After Lin'an finished speaking, he twisted his waist and left with Lu Qing. Emperor Yuan Jing had already said that the night watchmen could be called in to help at any time, so it would not be difficult to capture the emperor's uncle now.

"Your Highnesses... this, this, this!" The old eunuch was overwhelmed and didn't know which princess he should talk to.

He was monitoring the progress of the investigation on behalf of the emperor. Now that the two princesses were being investigated separately, it posed a big problem for him.

After much thought, the old eunuch still felt that the bigger matter was that the king's uncle had an affair with a palace maid, so he arranged for a young eunuch to follow Huaiqing, and he himself followed Lin'an out of the palace.

Huaiqing imprisoned seven or eight palace maids in several rooms of the Crab Pavilion, and then brought Chu Caiwei to Lang'er's room.

"Someone, search her body!" Several palace maids quickly took action and searched Lang'er's body from head to toe, but there was no magic weapon to block her breath.

Lang'er found out that Huaiqing was coming for her, and she was so scared that her face turned pale and she trembled like a sieve.

"Your Highness, everything I said is true. I did not tear up the records of the Imperial Pharmacy!"

Huaiqing looked at Chu Caiwei and said, "Caiwei, besides the magical instruments that conceal the breath, is there any other way to hide from the Qi-viewing Technique?"

Chu Caiwei tilted her head and thought for a while, "A high-level sorcerer can also do it. Didn't Li Changan encounter one in Yunzhou? However, the spell to conceal the aura was broken by Li Changan!"

Huaiqing nodded, "Okay, I will go and invite Li Changan to the palace right away. This woman is definitely lying!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lang'er's face suddenly turned pale.

Huaiqing was followed by an ordinary little eunuch, who would tell Emperor Yuan Jing everything he saw and heard.

Lang'er didn't know whether Li Changan could break the secret technique. If he could, how should she deal with it?

But as Concubine Chen's confidant, she knew very well that she must not confess. If she did, she would surely die.

"Are you thinking that if you confess, you will definitely die?"

Huaiqing's voice was very calm, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. Lang'er's whole body tensed up and sweat began to break out on his back.

"But you have been locked up by me. How long do you think you can live now?"

Lang'er clenched her teeth, her heart in turmoil, because Huaiqing was right. She was afraid that since Huaiqing had targeted her, she was not far from death.

Given how cruel Concubine Chen was, it might be necessary to wipe out the entire clan and kill her. Only the dead would never reveal the secret.

Deep in her heart, she felt some resentment towards the outspoken Lin'an, because it was Lin'an's casual question that attracted Huaiqing's attention.

How could Concubine Chen, who was such a thoughtful woman, give birth to such a naive and innocent princess?

However, she was just a small person. If she dared to confess, her entire family would probably be killed by Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen's confidants are not only loyal, but also have something on them.

"Come here, dispatch a team of imperial guards to guard this place firmly. Caiwei, let's go find Li Changan."

Before Huaiqing left, he looked at Lang'er with pity and sighed, "Follow a good master in your next life."

As soon as Huaiqing and Chu Caiwei left the house, heart-wrenching cries were heard from the room. The cries sounded desperate.

"Dad, Mom, and little brother... woo woo woo..."

Chu Caiwei couldn't help but be moved and said, "Your Highness, she sounds so pitiful."

Huaiqing looked calm, "If you want to be rich, you have to pay a price. If you fail, you have to admit defeat."

Lang'er would never confess unless she was forced to speak on her own, but in that case she would be betraying Concubine Chen.

The crying in the room became weaker and weaker. The palace maid guarding the door rushed into the room and immediately exclaimed, "Oh no, she took poison!"

"Go and report to the princess!"

At this time, Huaiqing appeared at the door with Chu Caiwei and the little eunuch. She had no intention of leaving the palace.

The Lang'er in front of him was twitching all over, his eyes gradually wandering, and his eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Father-in-law, you saw it too. She committed suicide."

The young eunuch couldn't help but tremble when he saw the tragic death of the palace maid. "Your Highness... I will report the truth to His Majesty."

After taking another look at Lang'er's body, Huaiqing returned to his bedroom calmly. It should be enough to investigate the matter to this point.

Emperor Yuan Jing was smart enough to judge who was right and who was wrong, so it would be unnecessary to make any further arguments or explanations.

As for the king's uncle, that dude is a waste, but Lin'an may not be able to get any information from him.

At the Prince's House.

Bian Bian, along with the old eunuch, Lu Qing, and several newly transferred night watchmen, broke into the prince's mansion in a majestic manner.

These night watchmen were Li Yuchun’s team.

The prince's uncle who was watching the striptease was completely bewildered. He could never have imagined that the silly second princess would bring people into his house.

"Uncle Shangguan! You have been having an affair with the palace maid Huang Xiaorou and defiling the harem, why don't you tell the truth!" Bian Bian asked bluntly without beating around the bush.

Bian Bian took one look at the naked dancers in gauze clothes and could not help but feel shocked and angry. He was indeed a playboy who indulged in debauchery in broad daylight.

When the prince's brother-in-law heard Huang Xiaorou's name, he was instantly shocked and a look of panic flashed in his eyes. Only the queen knew about this.

It was because of this incident that the Queen forbade him to enter the palace again, but the Queen did not kill Huang Xiaorou, which may have left hidden dangers.

At this time, the king's uncle was full of resentment towards the queen!

If Huang Xiaorou had been killed directly, there wouldn't be the trouble now!
"Your Highness, what Huang Xiaorou, what are you talking about? I have no idea."

Lin An took out the yellow silk cloth from Huang Xiaorou's body and said, "In the spring of the thirty-first year of Yuan Jing, what did you do? Don't you know it?"

When the king's uncle saw the yellow silk cloth, he suddenly panicked, his face lost all color, and his expression became terrified.

However, after seeing Lin'an's indignation and righteousness, the king's uncle felt a sense of hope.

This second princess is silly and usually quite stupid, and she seems to be not smart enough.

"Your Highness, I really don't know."

The old eunuch beside Emperor Yuan Jing hid behind the crowd, carefully observing the situation in front of him. He was just an observer and could not interfere with the solving of the case.

Lin'an pinched her waist with both hands, obviously at a loss, but she remembered everything Li Chang'an had taught her.

"Li Changan's subordinate, you guy, come here!"

Li Yuchun immediately clasped his fists and stepped forward, "Your Highness, I am Li Yuchun, a subordinate of Lord Li."

Lin'an pointed at the uncle angrily and said, "Li Yuchun, this guy is stubborn. You can arrest him now and take him back for interrogation, right?"

Li Yuchun said, "Based on the evidence we have now, he can indeed be imprisoned. The emperor's uncle is highly suspected!"

"Hmph!" Lin An looked at the prince's uncle angrily, "I can't do anything to you. The night watchman is not a pushover!"

When the prince heard that he was going to enter the night watchmen's dungeon, his legs suddenly went weak and he sat down dejectedly.

In that kind of hellish place, any tough guy would give in, let alone a playboy like him.

"Your Highness, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

“Huang Xiaorou thought I was His Majesty, so she was willing to be with me.

I didn't want to do it at first, but I couldn't resist her temptation. It's such a mistake that I will regret it forever!"
