Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

The next day, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple handed in the memorial with a heroic look, but he was extremely uneasy in his heart.

The two masters behind the three suspects are princes.

No matter who it is, he can't afford to offend!

After he left the court trembling with fear, he was summoned to the palace within an hour.

Dali Temple Shaoqing: ...I feel a little panicked.

The emperor had an inexplicable expression on his face as he held the memorial handed to him by the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

There were three princes sitting in the hall, two of them were trying to kill each other with their eyes.

When the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple arrived, the emperor threw the memorial directly in front of him.

The Dali Temple Shaoqing was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince also looked at the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes. It seemed that their father was angry?

The third prince was still looking straight ahead, openly in a daze.

It's none of his business anyway.

The Dali Temple Shaoqing's voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Oh?" The emperor laughed as if he was angry. "Tell me what crime you committed?"

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple moved his lips and said, "I am wrong to investigate this matter for too long. I still haven't identified the murderer."

The third prince was wondering whether he had brought everything he needed to the border.

As for Jinjin, she had to be left in the care of Jingyanghou and his sister, as the border was not suitable for raccoon slaves to survive.

And Jinjin can also occupy the time of Jingyanghou and his sister!

Why did Ji Qichen think so? Of course it was because Jingyanghou and his sister had made an appointment with Tangxi to write a letter every few days!

In order to avoid Tangxi having to spend time with Jingyang Hou and his sister after leaving the capital, he sent Jinjin to entangle them.

On the other hand, the emperor did not comment and asked, "My dear minister, please read the memorial once."

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were somewhat confused about the current situation. Why did the Emperor call the three of them over when he was questioning the Junior Official of the Dali Temple?

Especially the third prince!

When I called him over, he was like a transparent person, sitting aside like a stone, neither speaking nor moving.

The pupils of the Dali Temple Shaoqing, who was kneeling in the hall, shrank rapidly for a moment after hearing His Majesty's words.

But he could not disobey His Majesty's words, so he took the memorial with trembling hands.

By the way, he cursed the Dali Temple Minister in his heart. He knew that this was not a good thing!

"The Dali Temple found the wounds on the body of the Second Prince's concubine, Mu, which were caused by a kitchen knife of extremely luxurious shape."

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince: ???

They seemed to have heard something wrong. Mu Lianxue was killed with a kitchen knife? !

Is this a provocation?

The third prince is still in his trance. He is just a kitchen knife. Wait... a kitchen knife!

Should he take a kitchen knife to the frontier?

What if the kitchen knife from Frontier doesn’t work well?

The Dali Temple Shaoqing swallowed his saliva and said, "After investigation, there are three suspects who meet the requirements."

Then he was silent for a moment.

The emperor did not give the Dali Temple Shaoqing any way out, "Go on."

Beads of sweat began to appear on the forehead of the Dali Temple Shaoqing. He gritted his teeth and continued, "The three are the Minister of War Pan Mo, the An family, and... the Second Prince's Mansion."

The second prince opened his eyes wide in astonishment. How could this matter be related to him? !

No, he is sick? How could he torture and kill the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? !

Isn't this a feud with the Prime Minister?

The prince did not expect that while he was sitting on the chair and listening to the words of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, he was still guessing in his heart who the suspect was.

It turned out to be his two supporters and the second prince.

Ji Qichen's eyes suddenly lit up under his long, dark eyelashes. His eldest and second brothers were actually involved in the death of Mu Lianxue!

Show him who is behind this!

The emperor sat in a high position and could see the expressions of several people with just a glance.

It's just that there seems to be a person who doesn't fit in among them...

The emperor stared at the third prince, whose face was filled with the expression of watching the fun. He once again wondered from the bottom of his heart, how could he give birth to such a child who had no ambition and only knew how to watch the fun?

Never mind, it's just a stepping stone.

At this age and with this personality, the Third Prince is already useless.

The prince could not defend the Minister of War and the An family because this was found out by the Dali Temple and he would not identify himself.

But the second prince had to defend himself.

He stood up from his chair, knelt down next to the Dali Temple Shaoqing, and defended himself: "Father, Mu Lianxue is my concubine, how could I possibly harm her?"

"And Concubine Mu's body was destroyed like that. It must have been done by someone who had a grudge against Concubine Mu!"

The emperor asked back: "Who do you think is the most suspicious?"

The second prince pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Father, I suddenly remembered someone!"

"Pan Qingkong, the son of the Minister of War!"

The prince's eyelids twitched. What was suspicious about Pan Qingkong?

Ji Qichen thought hard about it.

Oh, it’s Pan Qingkong who was waiting for Mu Lianxue in the restaurant for several days and finally went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion!

The emperor was surprised, but his tone was still calm, "Oh?"

The second prince had a firm expression, "Father, this Pan Qingkong once went to the Prime Minister's residence to look for Concubine Mu before she got married. The two had an ambiguous relationship. It's possible that Pan Qingkong turned his love into hatred, so he tortured and killed Concubine Mu!"

The prince sneered, "In that case, aren't you also highly suspected?!"

"You knew that your concubine had an affair with Pan Qingkong before she got married, so you turned love into hatred and killed her!"

The second prince looked at the crown prince with a gloomy expression.

The third prince had a vivid expression and he couldn't wait to eat cakes and watch the fun at the same time!

This means that the prince's mother's family, the An family, is not a suspect.

The emperor did not stop the two from fighting. After all, the one who wins has better means and can inherit the throne smoothly.

The emperor gave a look to the eunuch beside him and asked him to investigate the relationship between Pan Qingkong and Mu Lianxue.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple became a complete background board, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

That's perfect, don't pay attention to him!

The conversation between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince gradually became more intense.

The crown prince kept throwing dirty water on the second prince, while the second prince kept blaming Pan Qingkong.

Ji Qichen was standing by and wanted to wave the flag and cheer for his two royal brothers.

If his father hadn't been there, he might have really shouted it out.

The eunuch quickly found out the news. He walked quickly towards the emperor and whispered something in his ear.

The emperor raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise. This Pan Qingkong actually had contact with Mu Lianxue.

He raised his chin and asked the eunuch to repeat what he had just said to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

The prince couldn't believe it. Pan Qingkong and Mu Lianxue were alone in a private room of a restaurant when they first met? !

After that, Pan Qingkong went to the restaurant every day to wait for Mu Lianxue, but he waited for a long time but never saw her. Finally, he asked the waiter in the restaurant and ran directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Now, Pan Qingkong is the most suspicious.
