"It doesn't matter if the minister of this palace believes it or not, the important thing is that this palace will thoroughly investigate the case and handle it impartially, neither wronging the innocent nor letting go of the real culprit." Mu Liancheng said sonorously and forcefully, and there is no doubt.

In this way, Feng Heng was at ease.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for upholding justice, and thank Your Highness for your kindness for the little girl!"

Mu Liancheng glanced at him with lowered eyes and strode away.

The queen passed away, and the state funeral ceremony was arranged, and it was not possible to be sloppy at all, and officials were the busiest these days.

In the first two days, to keep a wake for the queen, Mu Liancheng could hardly get out of his body for almost a moment, and could only order his subordinates to do things first.

In the middle of the night on the third day, when Feng Qingfang was dozing off in the corner, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of the key unlocking, suddenly woke up, and instinctively shrank back.

"Don't think that I'll be scared of torture, I won't admit what I haven't done!" She thought she was going to be taken to torture, after all, isn't that what she does on TV?

Unexpectedly, rubbing his eyes and looking at it again, the white figure walking slowly was actually Mu Liancheng.

It should be because he hasn't closed his eyes for a few days, and his pale face is more haggard than before in the firelight, but the cold temperament on his body has not been reduced by half.

Feng stood up frantically and looked at him in a daze: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Mu Liancheng waved his hand expressionlessly, and the jailers all withdrew, and in the flickering firelight, only the two of them remained.

"I'm really not the Queen's murderer!" Feng Qingfang had no superfluous excuses, and only briefly stated the facts, although he always felt that it was insufficient, he didn't know what else to say.

"I believe in you." Mu Liancheng's answer was also very short, but it was full of power, and it immediately calmed Feng Qing's frightened heart, as if as long as he said it, he could be saved.

"Really, do you really believe me?"

Mu Liancheng bowed slightly, hooked the corners of his lips, but he didn't see the smile of the past, his mother's death hit him hard, and it was difficult for him to laugh for a long time.

"Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate the queen mother's case in front of the emperor that day."

That day, when he saw the queen lying in a pool of blood in the dormitory, and the person standing next to him was Feng Qingmad, Mu Liancheng did think she was the murderer for a moment, but he quickly reacted from the shock and was keenly aware of the abnormality at the scene.

The reason why she was immediately ordered to be arrested was to better take the case on himself, and if the case fell on the criminal department, it would be difficult for him to interfere.

Only then did Feng Qingyan understand Mu Liancheng's intentions, and couldn't help but admire him, in that case, he could still think calmly.

"The queen is a good person, although we have only been together for a short time, but I really treat her as my own mother, and I am also very sad that she was killed like that...... I hope that His Highness can mourn and change. ”

Mu Liancheng nodded, looked back at her, and asked, "You tell me carefully about the experience of the night before and that morning, is there anything wrong happening?" ”

Feng Qingyan had already reviewed the events of the past two days countless times in his mind, but he didn't remember anything unusual.

"That night, I stayed in Yunhua Palace, rested in a dormitory with the five princesses, chatted until late, and woke up the next day, I went to the queen to say hello, if I want to say something unusual, that is, I went to the queen's dormitory, and I didn't see the palace people all the way, it was very quiet."

"What time is it?" Mu Liancheng asked again.

"It's the hour, and it's more than half of the hour." Feng Qingfang remembered that the sun had not yet come out, and the sky was slightly yellow.

Mu Liancheng raised his sword eyebrows, "The queen mother has always gotten up early, and she must get up every day when the hour comes, and at the time you said, you should be washing, and there will be no palace maids in the dormitory." ”

Feng replied frantically: "Obviously, they were all taken away. ”

"Not bad." Mu Liancheng agreed.

That morning, he had something important to meet the emperor, but when he heard that the queen had left Feng Qingmad in Yunhua Palace the night before, he thought about going to see it first, but he didn't expect to hear someone shouting that the queen had been assassinated as soon as he entered the palace gate, so he hurriedly ran to the dormitory, and saw his mother lying in a pool of blood.

What's even more unexpected is that Feng Qingfang turned out to be a "murderer".

"By the way, the dagger!" Feng Qingfang suddenly raised his voice, "Whose dagger is it?" After a careful investigation, will you be able to find the murderer? ”

Mu Liancheng shook his head and said: "That dagger is from the mother's harem, anyone can touch it, there is nothing special." ”

Feng Qingfang was a little annoyed, grabbed his head and said, "That murderer committed the crime too neatly, leaving no traces, I really can't think of any way." ”

"It stands to reason that when the queen mother was killed, it was impossible to resist and struggle at all, the scene was so clean, it could only be the person she trusted the most, and she moved without the slightest defense, or she lost the ability to resist."

Hearing this, Mu Liancheng deeply agreed, saying: "There is a problem with the incense in the dormitory, and it is mixed with drugs. ”

The queen rarely used incense, and even if she sometimes had insomnia, she would not light the incense because she thought it was strong, but there was incense burning in the house that morning, which was the first thing that Mu Liancheng felt was wrong.

"Then it seems that incense is a point that can be traced." Feng Qingfang gradually saw hope.

Mu Liancheng bowed his head and said: "I will personally investigate, find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, find out the murderer, and avenge the queen mother." ”

Feng Qingfang was in prison, unable to do anything, and couldn't help but feel like a waste.

"I'm sorry, I'll only cause you trouble, this time I also hurt the queen, I can't live with you, and I can't help her......"

"Don't say that, I know it's not what you think, and I believe that the Queen Mother won't blame you," Mu Liancheng lightly shook Feng Qing's arm, "You stay here for a few days first, and I will rescue you as soon as possible." ”

Feng Qingfang lowered his head to stop his lips, and for some reason, his nose suddenly became sore, and tears swirled in his eyes, but fortunately, the light was dim, and Mu Liancheng couldn't see clearly.

"I'll go first." Mu Liancheng patted her on the shoulder, turned around and went out.

Looking at his figure that was gradually moving away, Feng's frantic eyes were instantly blurred by tears, and he had an urge to cry.

It's not that she's hypocritical, it's the first time in her life that she's been in prison, and it's an unjust prison, people all over the world think she's a murderer, she is full of grievances and has nowhere to say, and she can't prove her innocence, which is more pitiful than a dumb person who eats coptis.

This place in the capital is really a veritable land of tigers and wolves, there are dangers everywhere, if you can pick up a life this time, and wait for Qingtao to avenge it, even if you give her 100 million, she will never stay here again!

Dingguo Mansion, in the dead of night, the Lin family put on a black cloak and sneaked out of the mansion.

After crossing a street, an inconspicuous carriage came out of the alley and took her east of the city.

Although it is still in the east of the city, since the last time the mansion was discovered, Helan Chi has prepared another courtyard for a tryst, which is also a secluded place, and the layout inside is almost the same as before.

Inside the house, Helan Chi has been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Ze, have you waited for a long time?" Lin went up and grabbed Helan Chi's hand and behaved very affectionately.

Helan Chi was naturally happy to respond, took her into his arms, squeezed her hand, and said with a smile: "As long as you come, you are willing to wait as long as you want." ”

Lin's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I can say good things to coax people!" ”

The two went to the back room and sat down, each drank some wine, and the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Lin pushed Helan Chi, who was about to approach, and began to talk about serious things.

"Brother Ze, you said that Feng has been in prison for so many days, why hasn't the emperor beheaded her? What was he waiting for? Isn't there going to be a change? ”

Helan Chi let go of his hand slightly, and said with a straight face: "Probably because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blocked it, you also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been close to that girl in the past few months, and he must be reluctant to let her die, and he wants to clear her name." ”

"What then? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds out something, let's ......" Lin looked panicked.

Helan Chi was unhurried and calm.

"You can rest assured, even if he finds out something, he won't be able to suspect you and me, anyway, it was the person in the palace who did it."

Lin was still not at ease, grabbed his shirt and asked, "Then aren't you afraid that person will confess you?" ”

"She won't, and she won't." Helan Chi hooked her lips and smiled wildly and wantonly, "Because if she confesses to me, she will die first, as well as her precious son, and she will never be so stupid." ”

Seeing that he was so determined, the Lin family gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his eyebrows and said in a questioning tone: "Who are you in the palace?" He still has a son? The person who can help you kill the queen is definitely not easy! Tell me, who is he? Is it a man or a woman? ”

Helan Chi deliberately leaned over and sniffed, and said with an evil smile: "What a big vinegar smell, Rou'er, you have more charm when you are jealous!" ”

"I ask you something, and you answer me!" Lin gritted his teeth and stared at him motionlessly.

"It's just an ordinary palace maid, she has received my favor before, and she promised to work for me, she is just a pawn of mine, I have no half-differentiated feelings for her, you don't have to think about it." He Lanchi said, and Wu Zi filled the wine glasses of the two of them.

Lin was skeptical, but he couldn't see anything wrong with his expression, and he knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he had to give up for the time being.

"Feng Qingmad knows about you and me, if she doesn't die for a day, I can't feel at ease for a day, if I don't kill her this time, I will definitely retaliate in the future, and it will be even more difficult to rectify her, this prince is really a roadblock!" Lin slapped his glass on the table in annoyance.

Helan Chi sneered: "Don't worry so much, the prince himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, and he still wants to save Feng Qingmad?" It's a joke! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin asked happily.

"You'll find out later." Helan Chi pinched Lin's chin, laughed more and more presumptuously, and suddenly picked her up sideways and walked to the bed.
