Whose child is I pregnant with?

Xia Qing'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Li, "Your Highness, please understand. It was my elder brother who told me to take the silver and leave quickly, otherwise my life would be in danger!"

Without waiting for Liu and Xia Changqing to speak, Chu Li asked, "What else did your elder brother remind you of?"

Xia Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "Big brother also said not to eat the fish at home."

Chu Li's eyes lit up. Now they were connected.

"Your Highness, I, a humble woman..."

"Shut up!" Chu Li scolded Liu. Liu was frightened by him and shut her mouth in grievance.

Chu Li sneered. It was obvious that these two people came here under threat.

Ordinary civilians would have been terrified by now, but they could still argue like this.

She walked outside the temple and ordered people to lift the linen covering the dead body.

All the civil and military officials looked over.

Chu Li said, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Xia Chengming's body was not strangled to death, but was poisoned first and then strangled."

With just one sentence, all the civil and military officials were silent. How did the prince see that?

Chu Li pointed at Xia Chengming's neck.

"People who were strangled to death have blue faces and strangle marks on their necks. They have difficulty breathing and open their eyes and mouths before death, and there are signs of struggle. Generally, there are broken skin under the fingernails and scratches on the neck, but the deceased's fingernails were intact and he did not resist at all before his death."

Xia Changqing and Liu were already sweating profusely when they heard this.

Chu Li continued, "If it was a normal strangulation, the neck of the deceased would be dark purple. Xia Chengming's neck has strangulation marks but it is white because the person is already dead and the blood circulation is blocked. Xia Chengming was killed by a chronic poison, and after his death, someone fabricated the illusion of stealing money and killing him. Xia Changqing, Liu, am I right?"

Their hearts were about to jump out of their chests and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"I am wronged, wronged!"

The two of them cried.

Chu Yue frowned. How did Chu Li know all this?

No wonder she was able to overturn Liu Chuang’s unjust case that last time last time!

It turns out that she does have the ability to solve cases!

Xue Yi also looked extremely unhappy. Originally, his superior had asked him to find a difficult case.

He felt that it was difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and this murder happened last night, and no more evidence had been found yet.

I didn’t expect that the prince discovered so many details without even going to the crime scene!

And judging from the expressions of Liu and Xia Changqing, they seemed to be the real murderers.

Chu Li approached Xia Changqing and Liu, and their bodies began to shiver uncontrollably.

Chu Li said calmly, "Whoever of you tells the truth first, I can save his life!"

"I say!" Liu spoke first, "It was Xia Changqing. He looks like his elder brother. He took advantage of my husband's absence to impersonate him and defiled me. Later, I was afraid of his threats and had no choice but to obey him. He killed his elder brother in order to have me all to myself!"

Xia Changqing never expected that Liu would betray him. He glared at her and said, "You deliberately seduced me when my elder brother was out, and you drugged me, so I made a big mistake. It was you who wanted to kill me. You secretly added puffer fish poison to my elder brother's food every day, and killed him without anyone knowing!"

Liu cried out in injustice, "It was you who caught the pufferfish, and it was you who killed your elder brother. Last night, your elder brother was still alive after the poison took effect, and you strangled him to death!"

When Xia Qing'er heard this, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. It turned out that her second uncle and eldest sister-in-law had been having an affair and had even killed her eldest brother. She stepped forward and beat them up.

"Give me back my eldest brother's life!"

Liu cried bitterly, "Your Highness, Xia Qing'er is not a good person either. She seduced her second brother. If you don't believe me, look at Xia Changqing's back. There is Xia Qing'er's name tattooed on it!"

"Xia Changqing wanted to monopolize Xia Qing'er and me, so he did this!"

When Xia Changqing saw Xia Qing'er's disappointed look, he suddenly felt very ashamed.

"Yes, I like Qing'er, I have liked her since I was a child, but that bitch Liu threatened me that if I had any feelings for Qing'er, she would tell Qing'er about our affair, and then Qing'er would stay away from me. I naturally didn't want to do that, so she threatened me that if I killed my eldest brother, she would break up with me and remarry, and I would take Qing'er and run away."

"But after I helped her kill someone, Liu went to the government and said it was Qing'er who did it. I was afraid that Liu would betray me and expose the murder, so I had no choice but to give false testimony!"

Liu's eyes were filled with disappointment as she said, "Xia Changqing, you are shameless. You wanted to first frame Qing'er, and then push me into trouble at the critical moment, and put all the responsibility on me. Then you pretended to be a good person and saved Xia Qing'er, so that Xia Qing'er would follow you willingly, and you could also get the 100 taels of silver and the jade pendant in her hand!"

When Chu Li heard this, he sighed, Jinlian, you are so confused!

You helped kill Dalang, but Ximen Qing still wants you!

Chu Li's head was buzzing. What a bloody murder case of uncle and sister-in-law.

Why did she lock her sights on the two people from the beginning? Most criminal cases are committed by acquaintances, with murders of passion being the most common, followed by robbery for money. Coupled with some previous details about the two people, she was able to deduce so much.

It was exactly as she had imagined.

However, she was very curious, why this woman liked her brother-in-law but not her husband, despite having the same appearance.

Until Xia Changqing gritted his teeth and looked at Liu, "Brother, no, you, a woman, came to me. If you hadn't taken the initiative, these things wouldn't have happened!"

Liu cursed back, "Hypocrite! You like Xia Qing'er but you don't dare to, so you can't hold it back and come to me. You put all the blame on me. Are you still a man?"

When it came to the issue of who would live and who would die, both of them had lost all sense of shame.

"Chu Li's eyes fell on the two of them, and they were frightened into silence.

Chu Li looked at the two selfish uncles and sisters-in-law, "Sister-in-law is dissatisfied with her husband's desire to monopolize her brother-in-law, and her brother-in-law hooks up with her and wants to monopolize her and her money. Xia Changqing, Liu, the two of you conspired to kill Xia Chengming, and none of you can escape."

Chu Li's eyes were cold and his voice was emotionless as he said, "Xue Yi, take him away and you can interrogate him slowly!"

Xue Yi swallowed and broke out in a cold sweat. The prince solved the case so quickly!

The two were dragged away screaming. Xia Qing'er looked at Chu Li with gratitude and was taken away first by the people from Dali Temple.

The court officials' eyes changed when they looked at Chu Li. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that this was the cowardly prince in their minds.

Such meticulous logical judgment makes people feel awe, and the eyes of several old officials in the Censorate gradually changed when they looked at Chu Li.

The eldest prince had an ugly look on his face, and Chu Yue's look was even uglier. Today was supposed to embarrass Chu Li, but he didn't expect that he would end up making a big success!

Chu Li looked around, and with an oppressive look in his eyes, he looked at the ministers, "Everyone, do you have anything else to report?"

All the ministers were silent, and no one posed any more problems to Chu Li.

The other officials who were ready to show their power to Chu Li on the first day also retreated and lowered their heads one by one.

Ye Hanting looked at Chu Li with deep eyes. The fierce and cold look of the little girl was quite interesting.

Mu Feng looked at Chu Li's profile. He stood there like a beautiful orchid, with long curled eyelashes, unstained red lips, and he looked confident and calm. People couldn't help but be attracted to him.

Mu Feng lowered his eyes in embarrassment. Chu Li was his nephew, what was he thinking?

......

After the court session, Mu Feng returned to the East Palace alone, absent-minded.

Ye Hanting wanted to secretly see if Chu Li was there, but he suddenly saw Chu Li retching against a tree.

Bingxia patted Chu Li's body from behind, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Li sat down uncomfortably, her brows slightly furrowed, she was having morning sickness.

Ye Hanting immediately thought of the fact that more than a month had passed since the night he and Chu Li were together. Could it be that Chu Li was pregnant?

His heart beat faster. Could it be that Chu Li was pregnant with his child?
