Li Anyi fainted in pain when she heard her daughter's words, she also knew that the matter was irreparable, and now she really wanted to run to the top of the mountain and question Cangtian loudly, asking why she wanted to treat their mother and daughter like this, why did she treat Youcheng like this? She finally found her happiness, and she was about to die in a blink of an eye, she was only fifteen years old, and her life had just begun.

Zhu Ao motioned to the palace maid and eunuch beside him to carry Li Anyi down, looked at Lan Youcheng's sincere white but lifeless face, struggled a few times in his heart, and said, "Lock her up first." ”

Lan Youcheng seemed to have accepted fate's tricks on her, no longer resisted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed Zhu Ao a few times, and said with a loveless expression: "The concubine bids farewell to the prince, thank the prince for his mercy and love during this time, and the time of serving the prince is the happiest period of the concubine's life." ”

Lan Youcheng's several bangs were quite real, as if he was going to knock out his head in the next life, and after knocking, a bloodstain oozed from his head.

Zhu Ao was also quite distressed when he saw this, to be honest, he didn't believe that Lan Youcheng was the murderer, although it seemed that no one could do it except Lan Youcheng in this case, but he still didn't think that Lan Youcheng was the murderer. Because there are too many doubts in this case, the most obvious are two.

First of all, there is the question of motive, if Wang Xianrong was really killed by Lan Youcheng, then the two of them must have an adulterous affair, the question is why Lan Youcheng didn't let the noble princess do it and had to mess with an officer under him? Are you full? Zhu Ao thought that he was no worse than that Wang Xianrong. There is a way that water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, men and women are the same, they all want to climb up, I have never heard of anyone who wants to go down.

The second suspicion is that if the person was really killed by Lan Youcheng, then she had one night to dispose of the body, how could she let Wang Xianrong's body lie in her room for a night, as if waiting to be discovered.

With Lan Youcheng's mind, she would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

If the person was not killed by Lan Youcheng, then someone must have designed to frame him, the question is who is this person, why did he frame Lan Youcheng? What exactly is his purpose? And most importantly – how did he do it?

Zhu Ao figured out his thoughts, the most critical part of this case is to crack the murderer's modus operandi, if he can't find his modus operandi, then Lan Youcheng can only be the only suspect, and this pot can only be carried by her.

Zhu Ao saw that Lan Youcheng was knocking down like this, and he had to knock his head stupidly, and he couldn't help but feel a headache in his heart, but because everyone's bad performance was too obvious, he had to say to Huaien: "Pull her down first and find a place to lock her up." Wait for the king to find out about this matter. ”

Huai En has followed Zhu Ao for many years, how could he not know what he was thinking, and immediately called two little eunuchs to help Lan Youcheng up, and said: "Niangniang, please go with the slave maid first, the prince will administer justice for you." After that, he didn't wait for Lan Youcheng to answer, and with a wave of his hand, the two little eunuchs walked out with Lan Youcheng on their feet.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from Zhu Ao, Lan Youcheng's heart was like a knife, and he cried: "Lord, the concubine can't serve the prince anymore." Take care of yourself. The voice was very mournful, and everyone was moved.

Zhu Ao closed his eyes and let out a sigh, and then began to check the scene of the crime, he was not a fake, and the autopsy would not work, but he could also turn over the surface of the corpse, and maybe he could find a trace of valuable clues.

Zhu Ao carefully flipped over Wang Xianrong's corpse, this corpse had no obvious external injuries, only a small red dot on the neck that had been pierced by a needle, which should be a fatal injury. The corpse was lying between Lan Youcheng's bed and the table, and it looked like he was quietly stabbed to death by Lan Youcheng with a needle when he was doing unspeakable things with Lan Youcheng, and then kicked off the bed.

Zhu Ao examined the body again, and found nothing special, except that a layer of lacquer was found on the inside of Wang Xianrong's belt facing the table, and because Wang Xianrong was wearing a white dress, this layer of lacquer was also very conspicuous.

But this is not a valuable clue, because this kind of paint is very common, and most of the buildings in the palace, including Lan Youcheng's house, are painted with this paint.

Zhu Ao shook his head, this clue is far from enough to solve the case, and said to Che Gang: "Immediately find a person to do an autopsy, and go to investigate if there were any suspicious people around here last night." ”

Che Gang knew that the matter was big, not only a state affair but also a family affair of the prince, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to show it, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "The minister obeys the order!" Go ahead and do it right away! Then he took a few people with him and turned to leave.

Sun Yunqi was like a roundworm in Zhu Ao's stomach, he felt his mind clearly, and said, "Does the prince not believe that this matter was done by Youcheng?" ”

Zhu Ao took a deep breath, then spit out gently, shook his head, and said, "At least I don't believe it for the time being, because there are too many doubts in this matter." ”

Sun Yunqi's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't believe it either, it's just that she died as a commander, and the prince has to give an explanation to the soldiers of the three armies." ”

How could Zhu Ao not know the seriousness of the matter, the foreign enemy had already attacked, but a commander died in his concubine's room, if he couldn't find out the real culprit and shielded this concubine, what would the sergeants think of themselves? Although everyone will think that Wang Xianrong is innocent of cuckolding the king, if Zhu Ao doesn't deal with Lan Youcheng, the generals will definitely think that he is a character like King Zhou You, who can't walk when he sees a woman, who is willing to die for such a lord? If you follow such a lord to fight, no one will have a bottom in their hearts, and the morale of the Su Guoming army will definitely fall to the lowest point, and there will be no need to fight this battle.

What's more, your wife has cuckolded you, and you don't even dare to fart, so who else can look up to you, how will you command the three armies in the future?

There is only one morning left for Zhu Ao, and this matter must be revealed before noon, otherwise he can only take Lan Youcheng's head to sacrifice the flag.

Zhu Ao sighed softly and said to Sun Yunqi: "What the queen said is reasonable, don't worry, this king can tell the difference." Let the queen go back first, and keep the matter quiet. ”

Sun Yunqi wanted to comfort Zhu Ao a few more words, but seeing Zhu Ao's frowns, he knew that he was anxious in his heart, so it was not good to delay his time, so he gave a salute and said, "Don't worry, the princess will arrange it." If anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue in this matter, the concubine will reward him with a red face. Please also ask the prince to relax, his body is important. ”
