Returning back to the palace, Huai Jin took a deep breath, changed into the disguise of the Princess Anping, and followed behind him, step by step walking towards the Jubilee Palace.

It was almost noon, but the cool autumn day suddenly felt a bit stuffy.

Hearing the noise, the Yang mama immediately took a few hurried steps, and led Huai Jin into the main hall.

The empress dowager's hand carelessly patted her body a few times, then pulled her away and asked with a deep voice, "Have you investigated's cause of death properly?"

Huai Jin nodded, her eyes glistening with tears.

Her Majesty hurriedly asked, "Is it related to Prince Consort?!"

Huai Jin nodded her head, then shook it and said softly: "The one who killed Big Sister Ping Yang was a girl called Su Geying?"

"Su Geying?" The empress dowager frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion. "Why did she want to kill Ping Yang, and how did she do it?"

Huai Jin lowered her head and repeated what she had said just now.

The Empress asked again, "Does she recognize you?"

"I'll take it."

For a moment Her Majesty sat slumped in her seat behind her, the tears in her eyes falling helplessly.

She still remembered eight years ago, the day when the novices entered the palace to meet him. When Ping Yang returned from the Hall of Diligence, he shouted at her that she was to become his consort.

"I think that ranking board's eye is pretty good! Hmm … It was just like … It was just like … Aiya, just because I can't praise him, I feel that he's better, a thousand times better than that top scholar. "

At that time, Ping Yang had cuddled up in her embrace, and told her the situation when she saw the eye of the list over and over again out of boredom.

"You said that kernels, and it just so happened that it landed on his head. I said to him, 'Looking at the Young Noble's eyes, can you return my kernels to me?'

Ping Yang recounted what happened just now vividly, and continued with the demeanor of a little girl: "When he passed the kernels over to me, her entire face flushed red, too adorable!"

At this time, Ruan Qinghe had already been bestowed the position of an official by the emperor, especially when he was trying his best to cultivate his trusted aides. If Ping Yang wanted him to be the Prince Consort, it wouldn't be easy for him to do so.

At that time, she had only said a few words of advice, but it was as if Ping Yang had steeled her heart, and fought with everything she had against the others in the hunting grounds, just so the emperor could agree to the marriage between the two of them.

She thought that since this was someone that her daughter liked, Ping Yang would probably be very happy to marry him, right? However, she didn't expect that not long after he returned to the palace, he would be depressed and depressed.

She threatened to teach Prince Consort a lesson and vent her anger on her daughter's behalf. But Ping Yang stopped her, and from then on, she rarely went into the palace.

If she knew what was going on right now, she would have advised Ping Yang not to marry him right from the start. But now, it's too late … That foolish daughter of hers, she was still thinking about him before she died …

Everyone in the hall was silent. Huai Jin stood at the side and gently caressed the empress dowager's back, not saying a word.

"An Ping!"

After an unknown amount of time, the Empress Dowager finally came out of her thoughts and called out.

This was the first time that the empress dowager did not call Huai Jin Ping Er, but settled down.

Huai Jin's heart trembled, she lowered her head and moved forward, waiting for the empress dowager to speak.

"Are you sure this has nothing to do with Ruan Qinghe?" His voice was filled with boundless hatred.

When Huai Jin heard this, although she did not reveal it on the surface, but her thoughts were complicated. She secretly wondered if the empress dowager had heard any news.

After hesitating for a while, Huai Jin still chose to believe in Yuwen Fei's capabilities. She shook her head and said firmly: "Prince Consort, this has nothing to do with it."

The empress dowager raised her head and looked at Huai Jin for a long time. Due to the teeth in her mouth being tightly clenched together, the veins on her face were popping out one after another.

"But Wailing Home heard that Su Geying wrote a letter to Ruan Qinghe when he was at the lower level of the palace feast! How do you explain that! "

Indeed! The empress dowager knew everything, but she still summoned herself to the Dao Palace because she didn't believe the explanation that Yuwen Fei had made up.

Huai Jin secretly cursed Yuwen Fei in her heart. She pretended to be in a panic, but she still couldn't be perfectly full of it, and had to take such a huge risk.

"Tell me about it!"

The empress dowager grabbed the armrest of the chair and glared at Huai Jin, waiting for her reply.

Huai Jin only felt cold sweat behind her back. While cursing Yuwen Fei in his heart, she was also doing her best to find an excuse for herself.

However, he was still unable to come up with a satisfactory explanation. No matter what, it was too risky. If the empress dowager could find out the problem, the marble temple would also definitely find out.

Furthermore, she was not clear about the evidence in Yuwen Fei's possession, but if Yuwen Fei were to directly say that the letter was Su Geying's excuse for getting rid of her guilt, or perhaps say that it was simply a half-truth, then Su Geying could make use of Ruan Qinghe.

If he were to give a casual explanation just like that, then he would lose the match with Yuwen Fei.

After thinking about it again and again, Huai Jin simply shook her head and pushed all the blame onto Yuwen Fei.

Her body lightly trembled as she choked with sobs, "I don't know what exactly happened here. The Seventh Prince found out that Su Geying was the culprit, and he even killed Ji An in an attempt to destroy the witness. At that time, all I knew was that someone from Princess Mansion had died. I was extremely afraid, how could I have thought about it so much? "

Her voice was filled with tears, and when the Empress Dowager saw her like this, her anger was somewhat suppressed. However, he was still puzzled in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he sat down limply and pondered for a long time before asking.

"Then what about Su Geying?"

"Dead."

The empress dowager immediately sat up and asked again, "How did she die?"

Huai Jin took a deep breath, as if she was going to stop the lump in her throat, and replied: "Bite your tongue and commit suicide."

"Where's the corpse?!"

"He's at the marble temple."

The empress dowager slumped back into her chair, her face pale. Her voice was gloomy as she called over the Yang mama at her side. To the marble temple! "

Yang mama immediately received the order and sent someone to marble temple to inquire about the situation.

The empress dowager looked at Huai Jin by her side and slowly spoke out, "Seventh Prince entered the palace with you?"

She spoke to Huai Jin again, it was no longer the serious look she had previously, as though the one scolding Huai Jin in her eyes was not her.

Huai Jin answered: "Yes, he should be in the royal study now."

"Go!" The royal study! "

Walking on the path to the imperial study, Huai Jin was secretly delighted. She really wanted to see how Yuwen Fei would complete his lie in such a hurry.
