I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Xu Mingjun raised his hand to signal, and several officials came to the hall with some straw paper and torches in their hands.

"Prince Yan, please look at these pieces of straw paper. They were left by the murderers and arsonists in the two clinics. And this burnt torch is also evidence left at the scene."

He pointed to the other side.

"Here are the footprints and remaining torch poles left at the entrance of Bao'an Hall last night. After comparison, I found that the footprints of these people all match one by one, and these torch poles were all made by the same person..."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Wu immediately blinked a few times in panic, raised his finger and pointed at Xu Mingjun.

"Xu Mingjun, you are talking nonsense. You are framing me."

Xu Mingjun turned around and squinted at him.

"Wang Wu, I have long suspected that you were the one who ran those two clinics, but I had no evidence. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to quibble?"

Wang Wu was getting anxious when he saw that he couldn't hide the truth.

"Master Liang, you have to make the decision for me. The cases of the two previous clinics have been closed. We can't talk about this matter together."

At this time, beads of sweat were already oozing out of Liang Shigao's forehead. For the previous two cases, he accepted a total of four thousand taels of silver from Leng Yicheng, and then hastily closed the cases.

Who would have thought that this time Xu Mingjun actually went to the scene to investigate and came back with evidence.

Now the evidence is in front of him and Prince Yan is sitting there, how dare he protect him anymore?

He raised the gavel and slammed it on the table, then roared.

"Wang Wu, the evidence is here, and you still refuse to plead guilty. Do you really want me to torture you?"

When Wang Wu heard that he was going to be tortured, he was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head in panic.

"I don't admit it, I don't admit it. I am a royal relative, I am the nephew of Concubine Rong, and I am also the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Prince Yan has always disliked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I suspect that he is seeking revenge and deliberately causing trouble for me. I request that Concubine Rong or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to the trial together..."

Hearing this, Liang Shigao looked at Leng Yiyan with some embarrassment.

"Lord Yan, what do you think?"

Leng Yiyan frowned slightly, then nodded.

"Okay, then please ask Lord Liang to ask Concubine Rong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for permission to retry this case on a later date."

"But...but His Highness is under house arrest now..."

"This is not something that Lord Liang should worry about."

Leaving these words behind, Leng Yiyan stood up, looked at Xu Mingjun, nodded to him and reminded him:

"Master Xu, please keep these evidences safe."

Xu Mingjun nodded and replied,

"Please rest assured, Lord Yan."

Leng Yiyan took Ling Xiao and others and walked away with big strides.

It was not until they left Shuntian Prefecture that Ling Xiao stepped forward to ask, puzzled.

"Your Highness, the evidence is all there, why did you agree to him so easily?"

Leng Yiyan's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered:

"If he wants to find Leng Yicheng, let him do it. Then, wouldn't it be better to catch him all at once?"

"How did they catch them all in one fell swoop? Could it be that the Crown Prince was behind this?"

He did not respond to him, but looked at him solemnly.

"You and Su Yi should check where the families of the two clinic owners are now. They are the most critical witnesses in this case."

Ling Xiao nodded as if he understood something, and he and Su Yi clasped their fists and replied:

"Yes, I will go now."

Watching the two of them leave, he frowned and said:

"You guys go back first. I'm going to Bao'an Hall."

Ling Yun hurriedly reminded,

"Your Majesty, what are you doing at Bao'an Hall?"

He turned around and glared at him.

"Do I need to inform you of what I am going to do?"

Ling Yun hurriedly replied with a smile:

"I dare not, then we will go back first."

After he nodded, he raised his foot and took big strides forward, heading straight towards Bao'an Hall.

Chang'an City Main Street

Mo Xiaowan and Shang Xiaoman brought a few maids, strolling and chatting on the street out of boredom.

Shang Xiaoman said softly with some grievance:

"Princess Duan, thank you for accompanying me for a walk..."

Mo Xiaowan looked nonchalant and smiled contemptuously.

"You are unhappy that Prince Xing's Mansion wants to take a concubine, but why am I so happy that Prince Duan's Mansion wants to take a concubine?"

"What? Prince Duan is also going to take a concubine? Doesn't he love you very much? Why would he take a concubine?"

"He dotes on me? On our first wedding night, he went to a brothel, and now he wants to marry a brothel girl. Do you think he dotes on me?"

Shang Xiaoman looked at her curiously.

"Is it because your belly has not moved? Does Concubine Rong want him to take a concubine?"

Mo Xiaowan shrugged and glanced at her sideways.

"He and I haven't even entered the bridal chamber yet, so why is there any movement in my stomach?"

"what?"

Shang Xiaoman stopped in surprise. Mo Xiaowan frowned unhappily and blamed:

"Why does Princess Xing have this expression? Are you kidding me?"

Shang Xiaoman shook her head vigorously. She bit her lips tightly and sighed with a flushed face.

"I thought we were the only ones like this, but I didn't expect you to be the same..."

"You didn't enter the bridal chamber either?"

Now it was Mo Xiaowan's turn to be surprised.

"Well, he... doesn't like me. He has never entered my room. When he sees me during the day, he is very cold. I really don't know what I did wrong to make him so annoyed with me."

Shang Xiaoman’s words surprised Mo Xiaowan.

She originally thought that only she and Leng Yifei were living such a life, but she never expected that Shang Xiaoman and Leng Yixing were also living like this.

She looked at her sympathetically.

"Then if he marries a concubine in the future, he will definitely not come to your room anymore. What are you going to do?"

Shang Xiaoman shook her head vigorously.

"I don't know, maybe my future should be a life accompanied by a clear lamp!"

Having said this, she lowered her head dejectedly.

At this time, Mo Xiaowan saw Leng Yiyan from a distance, and she hurriedly instructed the maid beside her:

"Wait for me here."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to run towards Leng Yiyan's direction.

Leng Yiyan was attracted by a hairpin when passing by a stall. He imagined how Nian Xi would look like wearing this hairpin and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

He was just about to pick up the hairpin to take a closer look when Mo Xiaowan came to his side.

"Brother Yan..."

Her voice was so soft that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

Leng Yiyan frowned and turned around. When he saw Mo Xiaowan standing in front of him, he looked behind her and asked curiously:

"Why are you here? Leng Yifei isn't with you?"

When Leng Yifei was mentioned, Mo Xiaowan shook her head aggrievedly.

"Brother Yan, the hairpin in your hand is so beautiful, can you give it to me?"

Leng Yiyan put down the hairpin and shook his head coldly.

"This is not suitable. If you want it, buy it yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Mo Xiaowan called him.

"Brother Yan, do you hate me so much? We have known each other for many years, and you have never given me a gift. Now I ask you for a hairpin, and you are reluctant to give it to me?"

Leng Yiyan stopped and pondered there in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaowan continued:

"Brother Yan, I really like this hairpin, but I was in a hurry to leave this morning and forgot to bring money. How about this, you buy it for me, and I will return the money later. No matter what, I am also your sister-in-law. I am in trouble, so it is not too much to ask you to lend me some money!"
