Even if the eye of the needle is found, it still doesn't mean anything.

However, after a while, they made another major discovery, one of them was holding a piece of cloth in his hand.

A very small piece, the deceased had his fingernails cut off.

"This cloth seems to be rare."

Wen Ruyi didn't know much about this, but she thought Chu Hongze should know.

"Well, this is the clothes from the other side of the frontier."

This fabric is indeed rare, to be precise, it will not appear in the capital, this is the clothing fabric that belongs to the frontier.

"Won't you find it in the capital?"

This is very troublesome, there are so many households, it is impossible to go through other people's clothes one by one.

"I've already asked Wei Feng to investigate the Prince's Mansion, and I'll send someone to send him this clothing and fabric later, so that he can pay more attention to the people who wear this kind of clothing."

Wen Ruyi nodded, she also guessed that Chu Hongze would eventually point the finger at Chu Hongchen for this matter, because the original poisoning incident, that is, her own poisoning, happened in the prince's mansion.

And the next few cases, although they seem to have nothing to do with the original one, are connected in the dark.

"Then we'll wait for news."

In the evening, Wei Feng returned.

Wen Ruyi was playing with the parrot, and someone came to her, saying that the prince had called her over.

Wen Ruyi immediately put down the things in his hand and followed the man.

By the time she arrived, Wei Feng had just finished reporting to Chu Hongze.

"Is there a result?"

Chu Hongze beckoned to her and asked her to sit down next to him.

Wen Ruyi walked over obediently, and then urged Wei Feng: "What happened to the result?" ”

"Back to the princess, it has been confirmed that the person who poisoned is the person from the prince's mansion."

Wen Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, tomorrow is the final deadline, if this person is not caught again, the emperor will definitely not let him go, and it may also affect Chu Hongze.

"Tomorrow, we will bring the evidence to the emperor to clarify the matter."

Chu Hongze seemed to be in a good mood, Wen Ruyi thought that he should not be angry with her, but he was not sure, after all, during the day today, his attitude towards her was still a little cold.

After Wei Feng retreated, Wen Ruyi poked him with his finger, and Chu Hongze looked at her suspiciously.

"You're not angry, are you?"

Chu Hongze has long been no longer angry, and he is not the kind of stingy person, but now that he hears her mention it, he also wants to tease her.

"Angry, angry!"

Chu Hongze deliberately put on a cold face and didn't look at her.

Wen Ruyi couldn't see it, he was obviously deliberate, obviously he was still very happy just now, as soon as she asked him, he suddenly became unhappy, this person was teasing her!

"Then you should be angry, I'm leaving!"

Wen Ruyi snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey!"

Chu Hongze pulled her back to his side and sat down.

"Not angry?"

Wen Ruyi deliberately asked him this, how dare Chu Hongze say that he was angry now, he deliberately said just now, people are leaving, they haven't been alone like this for many days.

"Well, I'm not angry."

Chu Hongze gently stroked her hair with his hand, and his voice was gentle and gentle.

"Chu Hongze."

Wen Ruyi's voice couldn't help but soften, and she called his name.

"Huh?"

"Don't lose your temper with me in the future, otherwise, you can cry when I suddenly disappear one day."

Wen Ruyi's words were originally a joke, but the speaker had no intention, but he listened to it with a heart.

"Where else do you want to go?"

Wen Ruyi was speechless for a while, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.

She still couldn't tell him that one day she would leave, leave this world, and return to her own world.

"You haven't promised me that you won't lose your temper with me."

Wen Ruyi tried to divert the topic.

"Well, I promise you, don't lose your temper."

Chu Hongze smiled self-deprecatingly, where did he lose his temper that day, but his tone was heavier, but that day, he did say it in anger, without going through his brain, but in the end, he was still too worried about her.

Wen Ruyi was very satisfied with his assurance: "Well, then I can remember." ”

"Then you have to promise me that you will not hide anything from me in the future."

Wen Ruyi nodded, and she thought of the thing she had been burying in her heart, about her identity.

He didn't ask much, and she didn't say it again, everything was just based on the fact that she was Wen Ruyi and he was Chu Hongze.

As for the identity, she will definitely find a chance to tell him later, but not now.

"It's been a long time since I've spoken to you so calmly."

Chu Hongze hugged Wen Ruyi tighter, he actually thought for a moment that it would be better to live a plain life with her like this, and ignore the competition for power, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea.

In the royal family, even if you don't want to fight for power, you will end up being used as a pawn in this battle for authority, and you will eventually become a victim in this battle.

Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to take the initiative, he has never been the one who will become a pawn, but the winner.

Later, Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze chatted for a long time, and the two went back to the house to rest.

The next day, Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi entered the palace with Wei Feng and the collected evidence, and the emperor heard that they had found the murderer, so he immediately waited for them in the main hall.

"Sixth, today is the deadline, but the murderer has been found?"

"Back to my father, the murderer has been found, but he has not been convicted yet, and his son has already sent someone to bring him over."

"If you still need to see the evidence, sixth, submit the evidence."

Chu Hongze presented the rag cloth, as well as the silver needle that Wei Feng had obtained from the poison maker when he went to the Prince's Mansion.

There was silence in the main hall, the emperor was looking at the evidence, and the people below were waiting for the arrival of the poison maker.

Along with the poison maker, there was also an old acquaintance, the crown prince Chu Hongchen.

Yesterday, when Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi mentioned this matter, they had already guessed that he would come together today.

However, the emperor didn't know that this person was from the Prince's Mansion.

"Prince, why are you here?"

"Father, my son, I heard that Hongze found the person who poisoned the emperor's grandmother that day, so I came to see if this matter was true or not."

Chu Hongchen's words were sincere, and he seemed to really care about the Queen Mother's affairs.

"It's hard for you to have this heart, so let's stay and see it together."

Chu Hongchen already had this intention, but now that the emperor has opened his mouth, it couldn't be better.

When everything was ready, Chu Hongze looked at the poison maker who was kneeling in the center of the hall and began to tell his testimony.

"Father, the piece of cloth that was presented just now was found by the sons and daughters on the corpses outside the city, and it is a unique costume belonging to the frontier area, and this kind of clothing cannot be bought in the shops of the capital, and there are many such clothes in this person's residence."

While Chu Hongze was talking, Wei Feng took out a piece of clothing from the package on his side.

"This is what this man found in his dwelling."

"Can you admit it?"

The emperor looked at the man kneeling on the ground, he knelt there, there was no trace of joy or sorrow on his face, and he seemed to be a specially trained person.

"The grass people saw the frontier costumes once before, and they thought they looked good at the time, so they made a few sets of their own according to that after they came back, as for the piece of cloth that the prince said, the grass people didn't know."

There is nothing flawed in this man's words, and besides, it is really impossible to draw any conclusions based on this piece of fabric and two pieces of clothing.

"Reasonable, Sixth Brother, do you have any other evidence?" The emperor glanced at the items that had just been presented, and his eyes were fixed on the silver needles: "What is this?" ”

"Back to my father." This time it was Wen Ruyi who answered: "This is a silver needle, which can be used for detoxification and drug production." ”

The emperor motioned for her to continue.

"These silver needles were found in this person's package, and yesterday, we went to the crime scene outside the city, and found that those corpses all have a common feature, that is, there is a small needle eye in the neck, and later after comparison, these silver needles match those needle eyes."

When the words fell, although the man did not have any fear or surprise on the surface, Chu Hongze still noticed his strangeness, and when Wen Ruyi said the last sentence, his hand subconsciously clenched.

"The evidence is conclusive, can you plead guilty?"

The man who had been talking a moment ago couldn't say a word now, but he still didn't show the slightest hint of fear.

The emperor was somewhat annoyed when he saw that he didn't speak.

At this time, Chu Hongze glanced at Chu Hongchen, who was standing aside with a not very good face, and said: "Father, the son thinks that this person is just a disguise, and the poison is from him, but there must be a person behind him who controls him." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Chu Hongchen showed a frightened expression on his face.

The emperor felt that Chu Hongze's words were very reasonable, this person was nothing more than a person who had been trained to do things for others, and who was the master behind him, he still needed to continue to interrogate.

"Say! Who's that guy behind you? ”

The man still didn't speak, and the emperor was furious and slapped his palm on the table.

"Come on, bring it down! Tomorrow at noon, ask for a cut. Someone had already come up to restrain him, and the emperor continued: "Before that, if you are willing to name the person who instructed you, I will let you live." ”

Chu Hongze looked at Chu Hongchen, he knew that if he couldn't wait for tomorrow, Chu Hongchen would definitely not be able to leave him with trouble, and he didn't have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, at most tonight, this person would be eliminated.

The man remained silent, and then he was taken out.

After that, the emperor praised Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi's performance, and Chu Hongchen congratulated them with a smile.

Although Chu Hongchen was smiling on the surface, he was thinking in his heart, although this person was trained by himself, he could not ensure that he would not confess him, and the best way to prevent him from saying it was to kill him, only the dead would not be threatened.
