Chen Yutian put away the summons order in his hand.

He had a faint smile on his face and looked very happy.

Beside him, Xuan Xi, Gongsun, Xue Tianhan, Ling Miaoyin, and Tang Fengling were all curious, and they didn't know what Huo Yuanji said, which could make him so happy.

"Over there, is there any good news coming from Yuanji?" Xue Tianhan looked at Chen Yutian and asked.

Chen Yutian looked at everyone's appearance, nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth were raised, and said with a smile: "There is indeed good news, they met Concubine Ling outside the royal city. ”

Hearing this, Xue Tianhan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gongsun frowned slightly.

Xuan Xi's face was filled with surprise. "Oh, that's a good thing, now that we've found Concubine Ling, we'll be able to know what's going on with the fire in the Cold Palace. ”

Chen Yutian nodded, "Not bad." ”

Gongsun frowned and groaned slightly for a moment, then spoke, "Did Huo Yuanji say where he met Concubine Ling?"

Chen Yutian said: "It is said to be in a beast temple outside the city. ”

When his words fell, Gongsun's brows furrowed even tighter, "It's a little strange, if as we speculated, Concubine Ling's disappearance was actually secretly taken away, then in order to confirm her crime, the other party should try to make her stop showing up." Only in this way can public opinion be completely in the hands of those who have a heart and avoid unexpected deviations. ”

Xue Tianhan nodded, "Yes, this is indeed the best choice." And I think the other side should do the same. It's just that things don't seem to be going the way the other side envisioned. ”

"And this is a fatal mistake!" Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

"Not bad. Gongsun also smiled slightly.

Xue Tianhan also smiled and nodded.

The remaining three daughters, looking at the three of them with a spirit like a rhino, were confused.

"What kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing?" Xuan Xi sighed, "Can you say it directly and clearly." ”

Chen Yutian said with a smile: "According to Gongsun's analysis, after the other party created the cold palace fire, he should let the spirit concubine disappear from the public's view, what do you think is the best way to achieve this goal?"

Tang Fengling thought for a while, "Is the best way...... Of course, it was to kill it directly, and then destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, so that she disappeared completely. ”

When the words fell, the atmosphere around him suddenly stagnated!

Quiescence!

A deathly silence filled the room in an instant.

Everyone looked at her strangely.

Xuan Xi and Ling Miaoyin looked at Tang Fengling with an almost frightened look.

"Ahem...... Chen Yutian wiped a cold sweat, "This is indeed a solution, but obviously, it is not the one taken by the other party." ”

"Yes......" Gongsun also echoed, but he was muttering in his heart, why didn't he find this girl so ruthless before?

"Although this is indeed a method, as a daughter's family, is it really appropriate to say such vicious words in such an indifferent tone?" Xuan Xi sighed.

Ling Miaoyin was also a little speechless.

On the contrary, Xue Tianhan thought seriously for a moment and spoke, "If the best choice is to kill her, it is indeed the safest to kill her." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian hurriedly glanced at Xue Tianhan - Brother Xue, it's enough to stop.

I don't know if Xue Tianhan saw his hint, and continued: "However, considering that the purpose of their actions is to frame Concubine Ling, if Concubine Lingfei dies and the object of the accusation is gone, then there is no point in planting. ”

When the words fell, Chen Yutian breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

But seeing that Tang Fengling thought about it, she spoke again: "But if you kill her, you can die without proof, wouldn't this be more convicted of those crimes of planting and blaming the blame?"

"That's right. Chen Yutian wiped his sweat again and spoke, "But have you ever thought about whether it is better for the person to be framed to die or the person who is framed to confess his guilt voluntarily if there is a flaw in some details that causes the crime of being planted to be unsubstantiated?"

"If that flaw is enough to turn the whole case around, the two ...... It doesn't seem like much of a difference. ”

"Definitely. Even if the clues are really enough to reverse the trend of the entire case, as long as the suspect himself voluntarily admits his guilt and confesses to the crime, even if there are clues, in many cases, it is just in vain. Chen Yutian shook his head, "After all, the murderer himself has already confessed his guilt." ”

"How is this possible?" Tang Fengling said with a look of disbelief, "Even if the murderer himself has confessed, since he has important clues, shouldn't he continue to investigate?"

"If it's us, it's nature. Chen Yutian nodded, and then changed his words, "But what if we didn't come to the barbarian country and didn't meddle in the affairs here?"

"This ......" Tang Fengling was stunned.

She didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

If they hadn't intervened in this side of the matter, then the moment Concubine Ling, who had been framed and blamed, took the initiative to admit the crime, her life would have basically come to an end.

After all, from the situation when they didn't come to the barbarian country before, we can know that with the ability of the government here, it may be more difficult to find the key evidence that is enough to turn the case around.

Even they have found no evidence of this kind.

"But how could Concubine Ling be stupid enough to admit those false accusations?"

Chen Yutian smiled, "It's naturally impossible in normal times. But what if the other party has enough chips in her hand to make her change her mind?"

Tang Fengling's eyes lit up, "What do you mean......"

"Will the other party use something to force Concubine Ling to comply?" Xuan Xi continued, squinting his eyes slightly and thinking for a while, and said, "Could it be Lang Yue?"

Chen Yutian clapped his hands and smiled slightly, "Yes, I think it should be her, and this may also be one of the reasons why the other party designed Jieli to put Langyue under house arrest." ”

"You mean to say...... Is it still possible for them to use Lang Yue to threaten Concubine Ling?" Ling Miaoyin thought for a moment.

Chen Yutian nodded and corrected, "It's not possible, but it's certain." Their original plan had been frustrated with the escape of the Spirit Princess, but it was not without a remedy,"

Tang Fengling's eyes narrowed slightly, "Remedy......?"

Chen Yutian smiled: "That's what you think, even if you replace the other party with me, since you have such a useful chip on hand, of course you have to make good use of it." ”

Gongsun also nodded slightly, "Indeed, it seems that the next move of the national teacher should be here...... But what are we going to do? Stop it?"

Chen Yutian shook his head, "It's impossible to stop it, in my opinion, we might as well plan and see what they have to do." With so many actions, it can't be as simple as framing the spirit concubine. Only by calculating and following the path can we figure out what their ultimate goal is. Also, there is one person, and it's time for us to pay a visit. ”

Xue Tianhan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What person?"

Chen Yutian grinned, revealing a meaningful smile.

"The lady-in-waiting next to Princess Celestia. ”

Hearing this, Xuan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh, the maid of the eldest princess, is there anything wrong with this person?"

Chen Yutian smiled: "I suspect that she is also one of the participants in these actions!!"

"Oh?" said Gongsun, surprised, "why do you say that?"

"Didn't we hold the cherry blossoms before for Taigong to identify the fragrance?" Chen Yutian suddenly changed the subject.

Ling Miaoyin nodded, puzzled, "Yes, but, didn't he also confirm that the fragrance he smelled at the scene that day was the fragrance of cherry blossoms?"

Chen Yutian shook his head, "No, there is a connection. Do you remember that when the eighth princess disappeared, the palace maid outside her door said that she once smelled a strange fragrance at the door of the dormitory?"

Xuan Xi thought for a moment, "It seems that there is such a thing." Do you doubt that it is also the fragrance of cherry blossoms?"

Chen Yutian nodded, "I did think so at first, but after I smelled the fragrance of cherry blossoms for that palace maid, she told me that the fragrance she smelled was not that kind of fragrance. ”

Gongsun frowned, "In other words, what she smelled was not the fragrance of cherry blossoms?"

Chen Yutian said: "Not bad. ”

"Then what kind of aroma did she smell?" Tang Fengling wondered.

"It has something to do with the one we're visiting. Chen Yutian smiled.

Xuan Xi was surprised, "Is that maid involved?"

Chen Yutian looked at Xuan Xi, hesitated slightly, and then spoke, "In fact, before this, I used to pass by her and the eldest princess in the corridor, and at that time, I smelled a strange fragrance on the body of that maid. ”

"Oh?" Xuan Xi's eyes were slightly confused, "So you suspect that the strange fragrance smelled by the maid of the eighth princess is very likely to be the maid of the eldest princess...... Body odor. ”

Chen Yutian thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "It doesn't seem accurate to say that it's a body fragrance, I think that kind of strange fragrance is more like a specific kind of body emitted, because after I smelled that strange fragrance, the dark dragon energy in my body rarely fluctuated." ”

"What, you said that the aroma touched your dark dragon strength?" Xuan Xi was taken aback.

She had to be surprised by this, the dark dragon strength was another manifestation of the dragon war's internal force, which had originally been merged into one when Chen Yutian was promoted to Gang Qi and separated from the body, but when facing Liu Sanniang in danger, Chen Yutian found that this internal force did not seem to be fused, but was greatly improved with the dragon war's internal force, and could only be stimulated when he was full of inner killing intent.

There is no other way.

But before, the moment he smelled the fragrance of the maid, the hidden dark dragon energy was passively triggered, which was also a little incredible at that time.

"So, there is something wrong with this maid. Gongsun touched his chin and spoke slowly.

Chen Yutian smiled: "Naturally. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had to offer to visit her. ”

Xuan Xi frowned slightly and spoke, "But even so, how can we investigate this situation?

Chen Yutian smiled: "This is natural, but I have my own way to do this." ”

After saying that, he showed a smile with a slight meaning.

Xuan Xi looked at him like this and smiled helplessly.

"Well, since you already know it, I don't have to bother myself. Xuan Xi smiled faintly, "However, I want to go with you." ”

Chen Yutian frowned, and just wanted to speak, but saw Xuan Xi's eyes widen and stared at him—he was not allowed to refuse.

With a wry smile, Chen Yutian nodded helplessly.
