He had originally thought that he would at least be able to find some clues through Zi Xin, but now that she had coincidentally died, all of his clues had been destroyed by her. It wouldn't be easy for him to find out the truth in the short term, and Fu Yuheng had a headache as well.
As he gazed into the distance, Fu Yuheng retracted his gaze as if he was examining something. It was likely that something was amiss with the Second Princess. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to silence her.
Fu Yuheng thought about it and pondered, but in the end, he still did not know what to do in the end. He was confused and could not make up his mind, amidst his depression, Fu Yuheng shouted loudly, wanting Sun Ning to give him some advice.
"Sun Ning." Fu Yuheng rubbed his forehead and called Sun Ning in loudly. When Sun Ning heard Fu Yuheng's voice from the outside, he immediately ran into the hall with a jittery pace, afraid that he would be neglected.
He fiddled with the beads in his hands, his voice tinged with distress. He frowned as he looked at the beads in his hands, continuously fiddling with it to ease the irritation in his heart. "Sun Ning, what do you think about the Consort Xian?"
Sun Ning bowed his head as he listened to Fu Yuheng's words. His astute eyes stared fixedly at the ground, and after a moment of thought, he raised his head and carefully looked at Fu Yuheng, testing his attitude.
"Your majesty, this servant has a plan, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Fu Yuheng glanced at him and threw the object in his hand towards him. He did not seem angry at all, but instead vented his anger on Sun Ning.
"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. You even want to use this kind of method with me? I can see that you're becoming less and less suitable."
Sun Ning carefully took the object, and a smile appeared on his face, but he had been busy with things in the palace recently, and had become more open-minded.
The emperor is wise, and this servant absolutely does not dare to play any tricks on you. In my opinion, this servant is stupid, and now that this clue has been broken, you might as well push the blame to the little girl, Zi Xin, who died today. As for the things that happened afterwards, you can slowly investigate.
Fu Yuheng understood what Sun Ning meant, he looked at him, carefully mulling over what Sun Ning had said, and nodded his head as if he thought of it. Sun Ning's words were indeed a good idea, after all, he did not have a better way to prove Shen Qingwan's innocence right now, so he might as well blame it on this palace maid.
He waved his hand, gesturing for Sun Ning to get down, and after a moment of serious consideration, he unhesitatingly picked up the brush on the table, opened up the bright yellow paper, dipped it in good ink, and sprinkled it on top of the paper. The handwriting was extremely powerful, even Fu Yuheng's words were not inferior to those of the current world, and it made him sigh with emotion.
The imperial edict mentioned that the Second Princess's maid, Zi Xin, had ulterior motives. She had murdered the princess and her master, and had committed a heinous crime, such that she was afraid of being found out and thrown into a well to commit suicide.
After all, he finally found a way to resolve the case that had been plaguing him for many days, and the stone that hung over his heart could finally be put down. Fu Yuheng then called over Sun Ning, asking him to announce the decree to the various palaces so that he could clear up Shen Qingwan's sins.
Shen Qingwan's side was a lot more relaxed due to the childish atmosphere. The gossip in the palace these days was enough to drown them. Although she didn't care, it still affected her mood. Her servants were also depressed.
The little girl who came was Third Princess Fu Lingling, and Third Princess's mother was Consort De. This little girl was naturally lively and lovable, causing Consort De to laugh out loud, but today, she was bored and took advantage of the palace maids not noticing her slip out, causing Fu Lingling, who was running out, to feel like a bird that had been released from its cage. She finally obtained her freedom, and wandered alone in the vast and boundless palace.
Third Princess Fu Lingling ran away from Shen Qing Wan, but she did not escape the palace maids' continuous search and was brought back to the palace, where she was watched even more closely.
Su Yeyue was sitting in her own bedroom looking bored. She kept shaking her head, looking at the scenery outside the window and feeling depressed. It was so boring.
Fu Lingling looked outside the window at the birds flying freely, and she was extremely envious in her heart. The playfulness of children was so heavy, that when Fu Lingling, who was sitting in the room alone for a while, could not sit still, and thought of the birds that had escaped with great difficulty, only to be caught by them.
Fu Lingling stood up and prepared to push the door open, but she finally found the princess' palace maid. Naturally, he was on guard, and the Consort De had ordered for the princess not to run around, if the princess was to leave, and if the Consort De found out, they would be punished, so a few people blocked the princess from going out.
"Get up, can't I go for a walk?"
The little girl pushed aside the palace maid in front of her with a depressed look on her face. She had been locked up in her bedroom everyday, and there was no one to play with her. She felt really aggrieved.
The palace maid kneeled on the ground and advised Third Princess not to let her go out. Just as he was about to be unable to stop him, Consort De came over with some pastries.
"Ling Ling, why are you so mischievous? Didn't mufei tell you not to run around? Now that something happened in the palace, you have to be safe and not go out and cause trouble, making your royal father unhappy."
Fu Lingling's eyes widened, mesmerizing the Consort De's heart with a blink of an eye. She innocently looked at her mother in confusion.
"But Ling Ling hasn't seen royal father for a long time, didn't mufei say that as long as Ling Ling does not cause trouble, royal father would come to see me? Ling has been obedient for the past few days, but I still haven't seen royal father!"
Fu Lingling's words were like a sharp knife that pierced the heart of the Consort De, she did not know how to explain Fu Lingling, she could only continue to deceive her.
"Good Ling Ling, your royal father was busy with government affairs, so he did not come to see Ling. Ling has to be obedient, and mufei brought your favorite pastries to Ling, eating with mufei, okay?"
Fu Lingling revealed a happy smile, her small hands pulled at Consort De's sleeves and quickly pulled her into the palace. She then sat down beside the Consort De, very obediently, making others love her.
When Consort De saw the obedient Fu Lingling, her face was filled with satisfaction and happiness. She placed the pastries one by one in front of Fu Lingling, picked up a few of them and placed them next to his mouth. Fu Lingling opened his mouth to swallow them.
