Now that things had come to this, they had reached a bottleneck. Zhai Lin was definitely a very suspicious person, but he didn't admit it at all. Naturally, he couldn't just directly charge himself with the murder of the royal family.
The Crown Prince's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly thought of something. "Zhai Lin, are you hunting with Blue Feather?"
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, it's precisely Lan Yu who is not bad!"
The crowd did not understand why the Crown Prince would ask such a ridiculous question, but before they could react, they heard the Crown Prince laugh out loud, "So it's like that! All of this was a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! "
Xiao Sui blinked his eyes, his bright eyes staring straight at the crown prince, wanting to hear his explanation in detail.
After the crown prince finished laughing, he patted on Shi Jinchen's shoulder in relief, "Fourth brother, you might not know this, but all of my personal guards use Blue Feather, and Blue Feather is highly toxic. Zhai Lin used Blue Feather to shoot down wild game. Naturally, he was infected with poison, which is why he caused such a huge misunderstanding! "
With this explanation, everyone came to a realization. The servants kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. Some of them even secretly wiped off the cold sweat that had formed on their foreheads.
So it was like this!
This explanation was reasonable, but after the incident where the crown prince was infuriated, he knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
If Shi Jinchen hadn't been so cautious and eaten the poisonous food, he would have died. If Shi Jinchen did not eat it, he would naturally question him. As a subordinate of the Crown Prince, Zhai Lin had shot a bird with a poisonous arrow. He had said that he was just used to it and did not intend to do it on purpose. Even if they had to hold him responsible, it would be up to Zhai Lin alone. Even though he was a subordinate of the crown prince, the crown prince was not involved in this matter.
Besides, with the Crown Prince's intervention, this incident could be reduced to a trivial matter. Zhai Lin was also safe and unharmed. He was truly a schemer!
After thinking about it, a layer of goosebumps suddenly rose all over his body! The way he looked at the crown prince was also filled with curiosity and doubt.
"Since that's the case, let's just forget about it."
Unexpectedly, Shi Jinchen did not make things difficult for Zhai Lin, and instead brought this matter over with them.
When Xiao Sui heard these words, he couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Shi Jinchen. It was impossible to say that he was not surprised. This matter was definitely not that simple!
I can already think deeper, could it be that my Shi Jinchen can't think of anything?
Just as he was thinking, he saw a hint of sternness suddenly flash past the face of the Shi Jinchen that was as calm as the clouds, as he slowly spat out a sentence, "But … This King still hopes that such a thing will not happen again in the future.
Zhai Lin kneeled there. The relaxed expression on his face due to the words that didn't care about Shi Jinchen was instantly replaced with a slightly terrified one. "Yes! Fourth Prince! Subordinate will not make this kind of mistake again! "
That's for the best!
He sneered in his heart and silently chanted. With the excuse that he was tired, he let the Xiao Sui help him rest.
After this matter came to an end, everyone dispersed. Only the crown prince had specially called for the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Shi Jinchen.
"No need." Shi Jinchen sat there, obviously not doing anything, yet his body was emitting a noble aura that even he could not conceal. This King did not enjoy that meal. If there's no problem, then I won't trouble Imperial Physician anymore. "
Since he had already said so, the Crown Prince naturally could not force him. Thus, before leaving the house, he took a few steps forward and leaned towards Shi Jinchen, "Fourth brother, take a good rest. We will set off for the capital tomorrow!" The expression on his face was naturally one that carried a bit of concern as he patted Shi Jinchen's shoulder, "Rest!"
When the door completely closed, Xiao Sui immediately moved closer, "You …" Just as she spat out a word, her mouth was covered precisely with Shi Jinchen, signaling her not to make a sound first.
The figure outside paused for a moment before disappearing.
"Hu …" Xiao Sui lifted his hand that was covering his mouth, took a deep breath, then turned and stared at Shi Jinchen, "Alright, he left, now you can speak, right?"
With her understanding of Shi Jinchen in the past few days, he was not someone who was easily fooled, nor was he someone who was open-minded even though there was someone who wanted to take his life in secret. So there must definitely be a reason why his Shi Jinchen brought the matter of poison to an end.
"Very simple. There is no evidence." Shi Jinchen merely spat out these words, causing Xiao Sui to momentarily not understand.
"You saw what happened today. Zhai Lin used Blue Feather Shot to feed Ben Wang. If he poisoned Ben Wang to death, who would benefit the most?"
From ancient times until now, the most accurate way to judge a suspect was to determine which side the suspect was on. After all, no one would do something that was too tiring or undesirable.
She didn't even know what was going on in the Southern Summoning Kingdom due to her unclear Xiao Sui and the fact that she had lost all her memories. However, according to normal logic, all the descendants of the royal family desired the position of the Nine Five Supreme Elder, so there was a lot of competition between brothers. Shi Jinchen and the crown prince were half-brothers, so if Shi Jinchen died, then there would be one less competitor for the crown prince.
"Crown Prince or other princes."
"Heh …" I'm afraid the other princes do not have this ability! "
Amongst the five princes under the throne, the crown prince and Shi Jinchen were the strongest, which was why the Shi Jinchen was so confident in saying these words. Furthermore, based on his understanding of the Crown Prince, there was no one else other than him!
"You are saying … Crown Prince?! " Xiao Sui quickly understood, and his tone carried a bit of surprise.
"The reason why This King stopped acting up is because there is no evidence. The second reason is because... This King will directly take care of this matter and not delve too deeply. Perhaps I can confuse the other party and let the other party think that This King was not prepared. If that's the case, the other party will definitely find a chance to make a move against This King! "
While speaking, Shi Jinchen's tone suddenly turned cold, as if a cold wind had been blown. "At that time, this duke will definitely not let him off lightly!"
"Hiss …" Xiao Sui couldn't help but wrap the clothes on his body, and did not doubt the truth of Shi Jinchen's words in the slightest. She didn't know much about this man's strength, but she could feel that this man was not simple and would definitely keep his word.
"So even though you only brought this incident along with you, you still gave Zhai Lin a warning." Because with your usual style, it would seem too fake if you didn't mind at all, right? " Xiao Sui quickly thought of Shi Jinchen's seemingly vicious warning towards Zhai Lin, and threw a bright smile towards Shi Jinchen as if he took credit for it.
The Shi Jinchen was shocked by the intelligence of the Xiao Sui. Her lips curled up slightly, and the expression on her face relaxed quite a bit.
"The crown prince is not someone easy to fool. He and This King have been brothers for nearly twenty years. Naturally, he knows that This King does not have such a good temper."
Eh … Xiao Sui silently cursed in his heart: You really have a bad temper, luckily you know your own limitations … Thinking about it, Xiao Sui still did not brainlessly say these words out loud. Instead, he waited for Shi Jinchen to continue speaking.
