Chapter 47: The Trail of the Beast

On the way with Li Yu, Lu Zhaoling told him everything that had happened in the past two days.

"I see." Li Yu was thoughtful.

"I believe that Bai Heng will take good care of Zhu'er in the future." Lu Zhaoling said to Li Yu.

Li Yu sighed lightly: "My father, me and my second brother are too spoiled by Zhu'er, she is now sixteen, married to the prince as a concubine, but she is still a child. ”

"She's much more sensible now." Lu Zhaoling defended Li Zhu'er, "Zhu'er is just kind and innocent, although she is a little willful, she has never had bad intentions. She will definitely become a dignified and virtuous princess in the future. ”

"I hope so." Li Yu was still worried.

Although he understood that as a courtier, he should not discuss royal affairs, but when it came to Li Zhu'er, Lu Zhaoling was a foreign princess, Li Yu couldn't help but speak: "Who wants to put the third prince to death?" ”

"It's not clear, Your Majesty should have sent someone to investigate."

"A few days ago, the third prince suddenly became critically ill, and then I heard that someone murdered, and the murderer can be caught?" Li Yu asked again.

"Not ...... yet"

Li Yu's brows furrowed even tighter.

"I don't understand why my father married Zhu'er into the palace."

This palace is a land of tigers and wolves.

In the second half of the sentence, Li Yu thought in his heart and didn't say it.

Lu Zhaoling felt that he could understand Li Yu's feelings.

The emperor of Anping seems to have deliberately arranged the palace as a battlefield with a turbulent dark tide, and everyone in this palace is in danger, because if you are not careful, you will be slandered by a hidden arrow.

The "kind and naΓ―ve" Li Zhuer is like an unsuspecting white rabbit in this palace, which is simply slaughtered by others.

Now that Bai Heng has been killed twice, he has obviously been regarded as a thorn in the flesh, and he is trying to get rid of him. Such a situation is too dangerous.

The last time Bai Heng was poisoned, the murderer has not been found until now, and Lu Zhaoling even suspects that the emperor does not want to track it down at all.

I wonder if I can find out what the results will be this time......

Lu Zhaoling thought for a while and decided to ask Li Yu's opinion.

"In your opinion, how to investigate Bai Heng's distress this time?"

"The most direct possibility is that someone has explored the location of the three princes in advance, and then provoked the wild boar and led it to the three princes. He took a closer look at the boar's scars to see if there were any traces left by special weapons. But if the person who does it is more cautious, I am afraid it will be difficult to find anything unusual in the wild boar. ”

"So, it's hard to look up."

Li Yu nodded: "It's difficult to trace the traces, and it may indeed be an accident, this is where the cleverness of the perpetrator lies." ”

Both of them rode horses and walked side by side in the woods, and for a moment neither of them spoke, they were both thinking.

After walking for a while, a leading spy reported that there were traces of large beasts ahead, and that he had found a suitable place to ambush.

It's coming!

Lu Ruling's eyes lit up.

"What kind of big beast? Is it a bear? Or a tiger? Lu Zhaoling asked excitedly.

"It should be a bear." The spy replied.

"Great! This is the first time I've been on a hunt! Lu Zhaoling said excitedly.

Li Yu immediately poured cold water on Lu Zhaoling with a calm face: "Don't get too close to Her Royal Highness the princess when hunting, the ministers will find a safe place for Her Highness to stay." ”

"Tsk." Lu Zhaoling pursed his lips dissatisfied, and then quibbled, "I think it's safest to hunt with you." I stayed somewhere else, and no one helped me when I was in danger. ”。

Li Yu was really not persuaded by her crooked reasoning.
