queen and pro

Chapter 131

"Commander Ye, what are you doing? Let go of me, princess, or I will kill you!" Princess Anqing was too weak to break away from Commander Ye's arms, so she couldn't help but play around, completely disregarding her own image. , punched and kicked Commander Ye, and his long sharp nails drew deep red marks on Commander Ye's face.

"Stop, what are you doing! An Qing, how unbecoming of you are you!" A loud shout stopped Princess An Qing's sarcasm.

Princess Anqing turned her head, and found that the person standing in front of her was her elder brother, who immediately threw herself into the prince's arms like a colorful butterfly, crying, "Brother prince, this bitch killed the son-in-law! Brother, you You must uphold justice for me. Your sister died before I had time to get married. How can I live after that? Before my mother left, I asked my brother to take good care of me. Brother, you can’t ignore your sister. , My husband was killed by your people just like that, Brother Prince..."

Princess Anqing cried so loudly that even the deceased queen was carried out.

"Ah, the son-in-law is dead..."

The surrounding ministers all showed terrified expressions, staring at the corpse in front of them, the prince's face was even more bruised, his fists were clenched and then relaxed, and he calmed down after a few strokes.

Feng Chenyi stood behind the prince, quietly watching the scene in front of him, with no expression on his face.Lan Qin looked at him eagerly, but his eyes never stayed on Lan Qin's body. Lan Qin's heart sank to the bottom. Could it be that he didn't believe her either?

Princess Anqing cried for a while, and her voice gradually became weaker. The prince took the opportunity to push her into the arms of the princess who had just arrived, and whispered a few words to the princess, and then stood up two steps.

"My lords, now that a homicide has occurred in the East Palace, I have already sent someone to invite Mr. Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion to come over. Everyone, please wait a moment!"

Feng Chenyi's eyes kept circling Qiu Li, as if thinking of something, then he gestured to Shisan beside him, Shisan immediately backed away secretly, and disappeared into the crowd.

Lan Qin's high-hanging heart has calmed down a bit, Feng Chenyi has not abandoned her, and is still actively thinking of countermeasures, so she should actively wash away her charges.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lord Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion arrived. In fact, this Lord also came to attend the prince's dinner tonight, but these seemingly neutral officials left before he left the East Palace. He was chased back.

"Master He, there was a murder case in the East Palace just now, please trouble Master He!"

The prince pointed to Lan Qin and Qiu Li who were surrounded by guards.

"This..." Mr. He's face immediately wrinkled into a ball of bitter gourd, he worked hard, wiped his sweat and said: "Come here, take this corpse back, this name, the suspect will be taken back to the prison, and the trial will start on another day! "

"Wait!" Lan Qin suddenly called out to him, the longer this kind of murder drags on, the easier the evidence will be wiped out, not to mention that she has found a flaw now.

"Lord He, the deceased is the son-in-law who is going to marry the sixth princess tomorrow. The imperial decree has been announced to the world a while ago, and there is no delay. Otherwise, how can we give an explanation to the civil and military officials and the people of Luocheng tomorrow? Or find out sooner. The real murderer is good, otherwise there will be rumors circulating in Luo City, after all, the son-in-law was fine before, but passed away inexplicably the night before the wedding."

Lan Qin was implying that the sixth princess was suspected of Kefu, and everyone present was as smart as a monkey, so how could they not hear it!

"Nonsense, Mr. He, it's this witch who killed the son-in-law, and you don't have to deal with it quickly. If you want to make trouble with the emperor, you are the one to look at..."

"Enough!" The prince, who had always been gentle and refined, suddenly became angry and shouted, "People are killed, do you still think that this matter can be hidden from the father?"

Seeing that An Qing had stopped, the prince turned around, and said to the governor of Jingzhao in a gentle tone: "Lord He, Mrs. Feng is right, this matter should be investigated as soon as possible, and you can try the case here, that's fine." Find out the real culprit as soon as possible, and avenge Master Qiu!" His words were very protective.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Master He had no choice but to take it.Taking a few steps forward, he asked Lan Qin, "Mrs. Feng, why are you here?"

Lan Qin recounted in detail how she came here with a mysterious person.

Before Master He could speak, Princess Anqing interrupted: "Hmph, these are all the words of your family, so they are not to be believed!"

Beads of sweat rolled down He Qingbo's forehead, he shrunk his head, glanced at Feng Chenyi and the prince, and found that neither of them showed any expression, Feng Chenyi even narrowed his eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with him The high-hanging attitude calmed down his nervous mood a little.

"Princess Anqing is right, Mrs. Lan, do you have any other evidence?"

Lan Qin met his eyes, He Qingbo suddenly felt a little guilty, glanced around, and then wanted to turn away, but felt that it was too shameful to show weakness in front of such a boudoir woman, so he straightened his chest and opened his eyes to look at her.

Lan Qin smiled lightly, and then said: "My lord, the housewife has not been in Minglan for more than a month, and she has never had a face-to-face meeting with this son-in-law. You can go down and investigate this. Since you haven't seen it, Not to mention there will be any festivals, if there is no grievance in the past and no vengeance in the present, why should I kill him? I am full and have nothing to do?"

"This..." He Qingbo was blocked. Lan Qin really had no motive to kill, but the princess at the side was still staring at him, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then continued to ask, " However, when the guards arrived, you were the only one, and based on your one-sided words, this government really cannot acquit you!"

What He Qingbo said made some sense.

Lan Qin turned back, pointed at Qiu Li on the ground and said, "My lord, since the guards found me, I have stood here without moving, and all the guards present have seen it." He Qingbo swept around, Commander Ye quickly nodded to him.

"Your Excellency, you can see that if the son-in-law was killed by this dagger, but the girl did not have a drop of blood on her body, is this not suspicious? Also, look at how calm the son-in-law's expression is, even the limbs There is no trace of struggling, do you think I, a weak woman, can kill him like this? Will he stand obediently and wait for me to kill him?" There was a burst of low laughter from all around.

He Qingbo nodded, but Princess Anqing quit, pointing at Lan Qin and said fiercely: "Master He, you can't cover her up! Who doesn't know that the son-in-law is lustful, maybe she is the one who seduces the son-in-law and takes advantage of the fact that the son-in-law If you don't pay attention, kill him!"
