He understood Prime Minister Zhu's intentions. As long as there was conclusive evidence that the death of Lord Tian was caused by Duan Xingyi, then everything would have a turning point. Otherwise, no matter how innocent the First Prince was, the Emperor wouldn't change his mind!
When Xiao Yuxuan returned, he saw Qing Lan wandering around the study room of the Hall of Reviews with a focused expression as if she was looking for something important. Xiao Yuxuan had fought with Qing Lan before, so with Qing Lan's inner force, she would definitely be able to recognize her!
"Miss Qing Lan really came early …" A clear voice faintly spilled out. Xiao Yuxuan's gaze followed Qing Lan's line of sight and landed on the spot where Lord Tian had died suddenly! His heart trembled slightly!
"Ugh …" "Qing Lan greets the honored tutor …" Qing Lan was shocked when she heard it, but her face was as calm as a calm lake!
"Forget it, I wonder what Miss Qing Lan is doing here?" Xiao Yuxuan's thin lips slightly pursed, and a slight ripple appeared in his deep eyes. He had searched for an entire day but was unable to find any clues. Could it be that he had been careless?! Here... Was there really a problem?!
"Reporting to the honored tutor, the princess has ordered Qing Lan to assist the tutor in the investigation of the case. Now that Lord Tian's body has been placed in the Board of Justice, the only thing Qing Lan can do is search the area where the crime occurred. She hopes to find some clues …" In fact, she knew very well that the mysterious man had used a concealed weapon that night, but the coroner had not found any wound on him. This made Qing Lan very suspicious, and according to Duan Zitong's guess, that person must have been sent by Duan Jingyang.
"Then I'll be troubling Miss Qinglan …" However, it's already late, so why don't we look for her tomorrow? " If there really was something in this place, then Xiao Yuxuan definitely couldn't let Qing Lan seize the initiative. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable!
"As the Imperial Tutor orders, Qing Lan will naturally obey. If there is nothing else, Qing Lan will take her leave first …" From start to finish, she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Xiao Yuxuan. This was the first time she had been by herself with Xiao Yuxuan since another fortuitous encounter, and at this very moment, what Qinglan feared the most was Xiao Yuxuan's questioning as to why she had come out of the carriage that day! It would be better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a single marriage. Although the mastermind was not him, he was still implicated!
Xiao Yu Xuan nodded slightly without saying anything. He watched Qing Lan leave and a grudge surged faintly within his heart! Not Qing Lan, but Duan Zitong! On the day of Mu Yan's wedding, it must have been because Duan Zitong had interfered that he and Mu Yan had lost their only chance of being together! Xiao Yuxuan would remember this debt.
After Qinglan left, Xiao Yuxuan immediately began to carefully search for the location where he had found Tian Ji's corpse. This time, he wouldn't let go of any clues!
The night was getting darker. Even with the lantern in his hand, Xiao Yuxuan was still unable to see the ground clearly. Thus, he extended his slender and good-looking fingers and gently touched the ground. One inch, one inch, without revealing anything!
"Ugh …" Just as Xiao Yuxuan was carefully searching, a sharp pain suddenly came from the center of his palm. Xiao Yuxuan suddenly withdrew her hand and by the light of the lamp, he could clearly see a silver needle stabbing into his own hand! He immediately put down the lantern and pulled out the silver needle from his hand. This needle was at least five times thinner than an ordinary embroidery needle, and it had two sharp points on its head. Its tenacity was excellent, and it wouldn't be damaged in the slightest even if its head and tail came into contact!
Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. With his experience and experience, if Lord Tian didn't die by accident, then this strangely shaped needle would be a hidden weapon for murder! In order to confirm his suspicions, Xiao Yuxuan headed straight for the Ministry of Justice.
In the dark, a pair of sharp eyes suddenly contracted as a figure flashed across the night sky. It was as fast as lightning and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Spring Festival Courtyard's Immortal Desire Pavilion.
Every time she came here, the tea on the table had always been freshly brewed. Duan Xingyi only thought that the woman in front of him was always more meticulous than the man, but he did not know that this was because Leng Bingxin would pour out the tea that she had brewed every hour. Such a thought could not just be described as meticulous.
"It seems like Qing Lan really has yet to be honed. She almost ruined my plans!" Duan Xingyi frowned slightly as his billowing eyes swept the window with a trace of pity!
"Master wants to take that woman into the Dark Group?" Leng Bing Xin said suspiciously as she handed the orange petal to Duan Xingyi! His heart slightly trembled! In the entire Dark Group, she was the only woman! She thought that this was done deliberately by Duan Xingyi, because only the people from the Dark Group would come into contact with her master often. If her master really took in Qing Lan, then she would think that it was just an illusion!
"The Dark Group... Hmph, she's not worthy! It should be said that none of the people of the Great Mo were worthy! However, Qing Lan is loyal. If she can use this loyalty on me, then this chess piece is worth something! When you have time, help me check the background of this Clear Orchid! " Duan Xingyi lightly sucked in a mouthful of Qinghua as he lightly said this!
"Yes …" Leng Bing Xin let out a long breath, she knew that her master was different to her!
"Now that royal father has handed over the case of Tian Kui to Xiao Yuxuan, I want to see how he will prove Duan Jingyang's innocence within half a month!" "Heh …" Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly pursed, his charming smile captivating all living beings. His deep eyes flickered with a strange light. He was determined to achieve this step!
At this moment, a figure entered through the window and knelt before Duan Xingyi!
Reporting to Master, Xiao Yuxuan … Ice Needle! "They are now heading towards the Ministry of Justice …" Ye Li's sword-like brows tightly knitted, and he worriedly spoke. "He was worried about Leng Bing Xin. With her personality, she would never forgive herself if she messed up her master's plan!
"What?!" Master... Bing-Er made a mistake. She didn't take the ice needle back, so she went to get it! Kill Xiao Yuxuan! " When she was here, she had no chance to take back the ice needle. After that, she had thought of entering the Censorate once more, but at that time, the Censorate was already surrounded. Furthermore, she was not sure if the ice needle had landed on the spot! Who would have thought that a moment of luck would bring about such a disaster? How could Leng Bing Xin not blame herself!
Seeing that Leng Bingxin was about to jump out of the window, Duan Xingyi dodged and blocked the window first!
"Bing-Er, when did you become so impatient?" It's just an ice needle, what's the big deal?! I will take care of this matter, you must not act rashly! Furthermore, this was not necessarily a bad thing! [Since we are going to die, let's be more thorough. If you don't mind, can you give me an ice needle?] There was a smile on that handsome face, but it caused people to feel a chill in their hearts. Duan Xingyi's eyes narrowed as he leisurely spoke!
"The ice needle belongs to Master. Master can just take it back. Bing-Er doesn't have any complaints …" Even though Duan Xingyi said it so casually, Leng Bingxin clearly felt a trace of disappointment flash through her charming eyes! She could not allow such a gaze to appear. She wanted to forever be perfect in her master's heart! Xiao Yuxuan! It's your fault!
After Duan Xingyi left, Leng Bing's beautiful eyes gradually turned cold. She clenched her jade-like hands into fists. She wouldn't just let things go like this! Just as Leng Bing Xin was about to leap out of the window, she was stopped by Ye Li!
"You are going to look for Xiao Yu Xuan?" The deep voice contained a trace of worry. Ye Li's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together as he spoke with concern.
"Out of the way!" Leng Bingxin coldly said. Her cold gaze fell upon Ye Li.
"Before leaving, Master instructed us not to act rashly!" If you go to Xiao Yuxuan now and reveal your identity and disrupt Master's plans, the consequences will be unthinkable! " No matter what, he would not let Leng Bingxin take the risk!
"Even if I don't go now, I will still remember Xiao Yuxuan's debt!" "It's getting late, you should go back as well …" Leng Bing Xin's eyes were cold as she quietly spoke!
"I won't disturb your rest, but I'll be waiting outside …" Ye Li didn't say anything more. He didn't wait for Leng Bingxin's rebuttal and immediately leaped out of the Nether Immortal Pavilion, arriving on the roof of the opposite inn!
Leng Bingxin's jade palm tightened as she looked at the lonely figure sitting opposite her. Even if she wanted to look for Xiao Yuxuan tonight, she wouldn't be able to do so.
The night was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the autumn wind was growing stronger and colder, enveloping the vast world. This night was destined to never be peaceful.
Just a moment ago, Cui Xin and Feng Xue had told her a huge secret. That day, the white rabbit was clearly given to them by Su Jin Xiu, and at first they didn't know about it, but after what had happened, Su Jin Xiu had once again forced them to keep quiet. As for that bag of sweat medicine, without a doubt, Su Jin Xiu had married the princess into the family! Also, the last time there was chili foam in the Golden Sore Medicine, Su Jin Xiu also couldn't get rid of it! Feng Xue and Cui Xin didn't have any abdominal pain, she was the one who planned all of this!
Qiu Yue knew in her heart that even if she knew the truth, there was no proof. Su Jin Xiu would still try to argue with the prince, so she wanted to find evidence. Thus, taking advantage of the dark night and the strong wind, Qiu Yue quietly left her room and went straight to Su Jin Xiu's room at the corner!
Perhaps it was heaven's will. Just as the autumn moon was about to be hidden, Su Jinxiu suddenly walked out of her room, closed the door behind her and headed for the manor! Seeing Su Jin Xiu leave, Qiu Yue saw the opportunity and rushed into Su Jin Xiu's room!
Su Jin Xiu's dark eyes burst with a cold light. After taking a few steps, she quietly turned back. Her heart flashed with a hint of a cold arc! Autumn moon, ah autumn moon, there is a road to heaven and you will not take it. Hell has no doors to break in, so you can only blame yourself for being too loyal.
Su Jinxiu walked back to her room and stabbed a bamboo stick filled with incense into the window paper! A moment later, Su Jinxiu heard a muffled sound from inside the house. Then, she fearlessly pushed open the door and entered!
Just as she had expected, Qiu Yue was already in a semi-conscious state. She was confident in the incense that Duan Zitong had given her!
"You … Why did you come back?! " Qiu Yue was alarmed and frightened. She never expected that Su Jin Xiu would return, yet she felt her entire body becoming weak and her head spinning!
"This is my room, why can't I come back?!" Su Jin's red lips slightly curled up as she slowly squatted beside Qiu Yue.
"I would actually like to ask little sister Qiu Yue, why are you not staying in your room in the middle of the night?" Shh … Don't tell me, let me guess... Was she looking for evidence? Tsk tsk tsk tsk … You don't need to look for it. I can tell you whatever you want to know! " Her slender fingers were like a viper as they climbed up Qiu Yue's lower jaw. She slowly tightened her grip as she spoke in a voice that was as creepy as the underworld's underworld!
