Chapter 173: Thorough Investigation

"Prince Ben had already guessed that it was the third prince who did it, but he didn't expect him to do it blatantly." The prince angrily slapped the table next to him, and even the crown princess on the side was frightened by him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what we need now is calm, you don't have to be angry, this will not make the relatives hurt, and the enemies will be soon."

The crown princess hurriedly handed a cup of tea to the prince and asked him to drink it to dissipate his anger.

Zhao Qingyan knew that several people must be very angry in their hearts at this moment, but the only way to do this is to think calmly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what the Crown Princess said is right, we still have to think long-term, after all, if the third prince dares to do this, it means that he must have something to rely on."

Zhao Qingyan had already guessed that if the third prince didn't have any uncles, how could he dare to do such a rebellious thing, if the emperor knew about it, it would be abolished at the least, and it would be possible to be pressed into prison at the worst.

"Then I'll listen to you, but what the third prince has done is really inhumane, we must find evidence, and we can't let him do whatever he wants."

The prince frowned and looked at Zhao Qingyan, Zhao Qingyan must have worked hard to know these news.

Now that the thoughts in his heart have been confirmed, the most important thing is to think about how to deal with the next thing, since Zhao Qingyan is so smart, you can ask her.

"Qingyan, do you have any thoughts on this?" The prince looked at Zhao Qingyan intently.

"So far, I haven't thought of any good way, but Wen Qiao and my father are already suppressing bandits, and it depends on their situation."

Zhao Qingyan originally blurted out the idea in his heart, but before he could say it, he suddenly thought of one thing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked this question, if he really gave him a solution, then Wen Qiao could come back.

If it is not solved well, won't Wen Qiao be destroyed along with it? What's more, this matter threatens Wen Qiao's life, and she must think about it in the long run.

"So where do you think we should start?" The prince did not doubt the meaning of Zhao Qingyan's words, not to mention that Zhao Qingyan was assassinated for this matter now, and her husband and father-in-law also went to suppress the bandits and were still uncertain, how could he doubt them.

"Prince, we should sum up this matter well, Crown Princess, what do you say?"

At the critical moment, Zhao Qingyan still decided to ask the crown princess for help, if he had to say the reason himself, she really didn't know what to do.

The crown princess has always been her father-in-law's own sister, and she also cares about Wen Qiao very much, and she will definitely help her speak.

Zhao Qingyan just gave a glance over, and the crown princess nodded clearly, she could understand the mood of her younger siblings at the moment.

"Qingyan is right, prince, don't be too anxious, we should listen to her opinions and think of a foolproof solution to solve this matter when the time comes."

The prince nodded in the end, and didn't embarrass Zhao Qingyan anymore, he was just too anxious, after all, there were too many people involved in the collusion between the three princes and the mountain bandits, and if they didn't get rid of those mountain bandits, the people would always live in dire straits.

"In that case, then I have to go back to the palace to report to my father, the crown princess, you can stay and catch up with Qingyan well!"

The crown princess hurriedly nodded and agreed, and the prince left alone, and after he left, Zhao Qingyan thanked the princess gratefully.

"Sister, thanks to you today, otherwise if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince keeps asking, I really don't know how to answer him."

Although Zhao Qingyan couldn't tell the crown princess that Wen Qiao was doing undercover now, she also knew that the crown princess was a reasonable person.

She is also very smart and wise, and she can understand what she means as long as she expresses it a little.

"Brother and sister, you said that these are too foreign, don't worry, I will take care of it for you over there."

After the prince came to the palace, he went directly to the imperial study to meet the emperor, and the emperor also asked him how Zhao Qingyan was doing for the first time.

"Father, Zhao Qingyan's injury is not serious, there is nothing serious, you can rest assured."

"Since she's okay, I can rest assured, did she tell you who killed him?"

The emperor is most concerned about this matter, after all, Wen Qiao is now fighting bandits with his father outside, which is for the country, and he didn't take care of the family in the house, it stands to reason that it was his own negligence.

Of course, the crown prince knew that his father was an honest and honest emperor, "Father, Zhao Qingyan doesn't know who committed suicide, and there is a lot of suspense about her." ”

"Thoroughly! Be sure to check it out to me! The prince's words completely angered the emperor, he was already quite self-blaming, if this matter was not handled properly, how should the people feel about him?

When Wen Qiao and his father come back, how will he face them, so the emperor will definitely investigate them to the end.

"Erchen knows, and the minister will go and inform the people of the Criminal Department now, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

The prince left the imperial study after leaving this sentence, he knew that the third prince was very suspicious, but he couldn't tell his father directly, so he could only go and investigate first.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

As the voice of the guard sounded, the crown prince came to the front hall of the Three Princes' Mansion, and at this moment, the three princes were already waiting here, he was very puzzled why Zhao Qingyan came to look for him as soon as he came back, did he know something?

It seems that he will have to deal with the prince well later!

"Brother of the Third Emperor."

"How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have time to come and see me?"

As soon as the third prince saw His Royal Highness the Prince's face, he knew that he had come for something, but he had already guessed it a long time ago, and he would definitely not let him know any news.

"Third Emperor Brother, haven't you heard about the assassination of the young lady of the Marquis Huai'en Mansion? This matter is almost a household name, and Prince Ben thinks you know it too. ”

The crown prince stared at the third prince directly, as if he wanted to know something from his expression, but unfortunately the third prince had long been accustomed to hiding his emotions.

The third prince pretended to be puzzled and shook his head, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't question him directly, so the two of them were polite before leaving with concern.

At the moment when the prince left, the third prince angrily slammed the cup in his hand and called his subordinates.

"Someone's coming!"

"See Your Highness!"

As the words of the third prince fell, a shadow guard wrapped in black knelt on the ground.

"Hurry up and find out to me, whether Zhao Qingyan knows that her assassination has anything to do with me!"

"Yes, Your Highness, my subordinates will investigate, and they will find out as quickly as possible."

The third prince suppressed his anger and yelled at the guard, who left directly.
