Mu Yan remained calm and remained the same as before.

"Then please enlighten me, Duke Qi."

Mo Xingchen stepped forward and stood between the two of them. "Princess Pingting, please don't be impulsive. Duke Qi, please look into this matter thoroughly for my sake."

After all, the Duke of Qi was also very famous when he was young, and his martial arts skills were obvious to everyone. He did not think that Mu Yan was his opponent, so he wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of her.

But when Muyan saw Mo Xingchen's hypocritical look, her stomach churned. As expected, when you don't like someone, even his breathing is wrong.

"Your Highness, the King of Wei, please step aside. Duke of Qi, please teach me..."

"Insanity!"

The Duke of Qi held the Soul-Slaying Sword in his hand and roared like a howl.

"Your Majesty!"

A shout broke the tense situation.

"The masked man was caught, but unfortunately..."

I saw Han Feng rushing in from outside, holding a black package in his arms.

Mu Yan frowned slightly. Could this package be...

Before Mu Yan could think about it, Han Feng opened the package, and a broken arm appeared inside with an obvious mark of a snake bite on it.

At this moment, Mu Yan noticed that Mo Xingchen's expression changed obviously.

Qi Ning pointed at the broken arm with trembling fingers, "This, this is my brother's arm."

Duke Qi saw this and his cloudy eyes were filled with bloodshot. "Ning'er, are you sure this is Yang'er's arm?"

"Dad, I am sure that the jade ring on my brother's hand was given by me on his birthday. This is my brother's arm."

It turned out that when the masked man broke out of the window, he had already been discovered by Mo Yuche, who specially sent Han Feng to track him.

He looked around and found that there was no masked man around Han Feng. "Where is he?"

"Your Highness, the masked man has bitten his tongue and committed suicide."

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, feeling it was a great pity. If she could keep the person alive, maybe she could get some information out of him.

Well, now that the broken arm has been found, it can prove that I was not talking nonsense.

Mo Xingchen let out a long sigh, seeming to be suddenly a lot more relaxed.

Duke Qi stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Thank you, King Han, for helping my son find his arm and returning his body intact.

Mo Yuche hurriedly stepped forward to support Duke Qi, "No need to be polite, since the young master's arm has been found, it can also prove that what Princess Pingting said is not false."

Duke Qi pondered for a moment, "Even if it is proven that my son was poisoned to death, it cannot prove that Mu Zhao had nothing to do with it. Who knows if he brought this snake?"

At this time, the coroner at the side spoke up, "Yes, the golden fox snake is most afraid of people. It will never appear in crowded places, and will not appear on the street for no reason."

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "If the snake was brought by Mu Zhao, he would definitely not risk his life to fight with the young master at that time."

Seeing this, Qi Ning directly retorted, "No risk, no gain. Since Mu Zhao wants to kill my brother, then he doesn't care about anything else."

Mu Yan glanced at Qi Ning with a cold expression, which made her body stiffen. "Then I would like to ask Princess Qi Ning, if Mu Zhao is a suspect, then aren't you even more suspicious?"

Everyone looked at each other, all confused by Mu Yan's words.

Qi Ning's eyes widened and she screamed, "Mu Yan, what nonsense are you talking about! What does my brother's death have to do with me?"

Mu Yan didn't waste any words and spoke directly, "Golden fox snakes are gentle by nature and will not attack people actively, but they hate one thing the most, which is the stamens of Impatiens balsamina. Once they smell the scent of Impatiens balsamina stamens, they will be greatly stimulated and attack people. Princess Qi Ning must have applied Impatiens balsamina scented powder today. You and Young Master Qi have been together all day today, so it's not surprising that he applied this scented powder."

Qi Ning was confused by Mu Yan's words and stood there in a daze.

Mu Yan continued, "Our Dali Temple's coroner is an experienced person. I'm sure he can tell what kind of flower Princess Qi Ning's perfume powder is made of just by smell, right?"

The coroner was delighted to hear someone praising him, and quickly stepped forward to demonstrate his professionalism, "Princess Pingting is right, this incense powder is indeed made from Impatiens balsamina. This incense powder can cause the golden fox snake to go crazy and become very aggressive. It has to be said that this is a tragedy."

Duke Qi shouted angrily, "What nonsense! If the incense powder is the reason why the golden fox snake attacked, then why didn't the golden fox snake attack Ning'er?"

Mu Yan looked Qi Ning up and down, walked forward, grabbed her hand and lifted her wrist. Qi Ning's hand was still a little painful from being hit by Mu Yan, and she immediately screamed loudly.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

Mu Yan ignored her and still held her hand and lifted it up, "This is the reason."

Everyone present looked at Qi Ning's wrist, which was covered with only a bracelet.

Mo Xingchen pursed his lips and asked, "Because of this bracelet?"

"Yes and no. To be precise, it's because of the red string that the bracelet is threaded through."

Mu Yan curled the corner of her mouth slightly, took the bracelet off Qi Ning's wrist, removed all the beads on the bracelet, and placed the bracelet in front of the coroner.

"Mr. Coroner, please smell it and tell me what this smell is."

The coroner sniffed it, frowned slightly, then opened his eyes wide, "It's sulfur!"

Yes, this red rope had been soaked in sulfur water, so it had the smell of sulfur. Sulfur is what the golden fox snake fears the most, so even if it smelled the scent of Impatiens from her, it would not dare to come forward and bite her.

Everyone present was an experienced person who had been immersed in officialdom for many years. Once they thought about it, they could all think of something wrong.

Qi Ning rubbed the perfume powder onto Qi Qingyang's body, and coincidentally she was wearing a pearl necklace soaked in sulfur and thus escaped the disaster. It really makes one think about something far-fetched.

But what is Qi Ning's purpose in doing this?

Everyone looked at Qi Ning at the same time, even the Duke of Qi looked at her in shock.

Qi Ning was frightened by everyone's suspicious eyes and stepped back repeatedly, "Don't talk nonsense, the one who died was my own brother, how could I murder him?"

Snapped--

A loud slap hit Qi Ning.

"Tell me why. I want to hear your explanation."

Qi Ning covered her red and swollen face, looked at her father who had always loved her with disbelief, and shook her head violently.

"No, it's not me. Something must be wrong. Something must be wrong. It's not me."
