"So, she is the murderer? Then Prince Zhe would be absolved of the crime of killing Xianglian, but for killing Guo Jun..." Prince Li interrupted!

"She is not the murderer..." Yi Lei's answer surprised many people. Except for the emperor and his wife and several princes who had talked to Yi Lei in the Prince of Jin's Mansion before, everyone thought that Madam Qiangwei was the murderer. After all, things had turned out like that, who else could it be?

"No?" King Li asked again!

"Mrs. Rose doesn't have the courage to kill anyone. At best, she is an accomplice. Is that right?" Yi Lei asked.

Madam Rose nodded helplessly...

"Who is the murderer?" King Liang couldn't wait to know what Yi Lei found out...

Yi Lei looked at King Yan with complicated eyes...

King Yan looked back at Yi Lei with an almost horrified look...

Maybe...King Yan already has an idea in mind...

"Kill Xianglian. The original intention was to frame Xianglian if something went wrong. Otherwise, how could they convince a concubine who had nothing to do with the matter to participate? But things did not go as planned, so they decided to kill Xianglian to silence her, but I caught her red-handed!"

Hearing Yi Lei's words, the middle-aged man took a breath... and Madam Rose might have already known this result... she didn't react much!

"Don't keep us in suspense, who is the murderer?" Princess Qing Huan didn't know much about her grandson Yi Lei. After all, Yi Lei was already five years old when he showed up, and he later left Chang'an to study. But she was still very curious about how he was investigating the case. What's more, her grandson was the ultimate victim!

"Princess Sijiao!" Yi Lei said these two words carefully!

Madam Rose's hands trembled for a moment, but she regained her composure immediately...

But... this name was too shocking to everyone present. Although the emperor and several princes believed Mingzhe's statement that Sijiao killed Guo Jun, Sijiao killed Xianglian...

"How is it possible?" The Queen Mother was stunned for a few seconds, covered her face in disbelief and began to cry softly...

And the Prince of Yan...when he closed his eyes, what he thought about was not the situation of his daughter killing someone, but the ugly scene between his daughter and the guards in the mansion... He no longer had the energy to accept the fact that his daughter had killed someone!

"You are slandering me!" Lu Yunche stood up and pointed at Yi Lei and yelled!

"I hope not!" Yi Lei said helplessly to Madam Qiangwei, "Say what you told me that day again to everyone present..."

After thinking for a while with her head down, Madam Qiangwei slowly recounted the process of Lu Sijiao killing Xianglian: "On the third day after knowing that my husband was going to take a concubine, the eldest lady suddenly appeared in my room, and told me in tears about the harm that my husband had done to her by taking a concubine! We didn't talk about other things that day, but we sisters felt the same way, and I couldn't help but feel sad too. But what can we women do? We can only accept it! A few days later, the eldest lady came again, and she told me that she didn't want to see my husband taking a concubine! So she said to me... said..."

"What did you say?" King Li was anxious to know the whole story, but the woman was still speaking slowly, word by word...

"Don't worry, King Li!" Yi Lei sat next to his father and drank tea! He looked at King Li unhappily!

"She said that if Xianglian died, there would be no concubines." Madam Qiangwei took a deep breath and continued, "I was shocked and said that this was not possible. But the eldest lady said she had a way, as long as I cooperated. I was confused for a moment, and agreed to her..."

Yi Lei's eyes swept across everyone, finally stopping at Lu Yunche, "I have sent people to investigate, and Princess Sijiao did go to Xianglian's room on the day of the crime. And...the murder weapon found at the scene also belonged to the princess."

King Li slammed the table and stood up, "What a cruel heart!"

Lu Yunche's face turned very ugly, and he shouted excitedly: "Impossible, someone must have framed her!"

At this time, King Yan, who had been silent all the time, spoke: "Enough, let's investigate thoroughly." His voice was full of fatigue and helplessness.

Yi Lei looked at everyone and said, "Now that the truth is out, please make the decision, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and said, "Come here, place Princess Sijiao under house arrest and await investigation. At the same time, send someone to search the princess's bedroom to see if they can find any other evidence."

There was silence in the room, everyone was immersed in shock and sadness.

------------------

Who was the mastermind behind this elaborate and sinister plot? Was it the scheming and power-hungry King Li? Or was it the cunning and ambitious King Liang? No one knows who the real mastermind behind this huge mystery is.

Fortunately, Yi Lei successfully uncovered the truth of the conspiracy with his intelligence and extraordinary insight, and helped Mingzhe clear his name, proving that he was not the one framed as the murderer.

When Mingzhe stepped into the familiar Yanming Mansion, he was filled with emotion. Tutu, who had been anxiously waiting for news at home, finally felt relieved when she learned that Mingzhe had returned safely. She quickly walked forward and held Mingzhe's hands tightly, with endless care and worry in her eyes.

"I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried." She held Mingzhe's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry and concern.

Mingzhe smiled slightly, trying to reassure her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This time it's really thanks to Yilei. Without his help, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous."

Hearing this, she also breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes: "But who planned this incident? Why did they target you?"

Mingzhe frowned and fell into deep thought. He knew that this conspiracy was definitely not simple and there must be a huge secret behind it. To uncover the mystery, he had to find the real mastermind.

The two chatted for a while, and then Tutu stood up and said goodbye. Looking at her leaving, Mingzhe couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. No matter what, at least there is someone who cares about him.

After Tutu left, Mingzhe slowly walked into the study and sat quietly on a chair. He closed his eyes and began to recall a series of events that had happened recently. From the initial clues to the subsequent dangers, every detail repeatedly emerged in his mind.

Gradually, some originally unclear places became clear. Mingzhe seemed to see a big net hidden in the dark, gradually closing in on them. However, the mastermind behind the scenes never revealed his true face.

"Who on earth is it..." Mingzhe muttered to himself, with a flash of determination in his eyes. No matter how cunning the other party was, he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
