Chapter 368 Stop pretending here, it’s obvious that you set the fire!

Liang Yu clasped his fists and said, "Prince, we found Rui Liangdi. She fainted behind the ruins."

After being diagnosed by the government doctor.

Zhou Ruier woke up, she was covered in dust and her face was dirty. After she came to her senses, she looked around, knelt in front of Xu Qihuai, and grabbed his clothes, "Your Highness, hurry, save my sister... Is my sister okay? Ah, Your Highness, my sister..."

Qiu Man pushed Zhou Ruier away and said angrily.

"Stop pretending here, it's obvious that you set the fire!"

Zhou Ruier fell to the ground and got up weakly. She wiped her tears aggrievedly: "Ms. Qiu, you really misunderstood. I was close to the Crown Princess. When I saw the fire, I ran over quickly. I didn't expect to see my sister being engulfed in the fire. I wanted to save her, but I was choked by the thick smoke. This is the mark of my injury."

She rolled up her sleeves.

There were several red marks on the dirty arm.

Qiu Man looked up and asked angrily, "Brother-in-law, do you believe her?"

Xu Qihuai said coldly, "Liang Yu! Investigate! This palace has been turned upside down, so let me investigate it thoroughly!"

"Father, little sister."

Behind her, Qiu Ying slowly walked over. Seeing her sister rushing towards her, she held back her tears and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qiu Man hugged her sister and cried.

Ziyin ran over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Thank God, thank God..."

Xu Qihuai looked at the Crown Princess, the wife who had endured hardships with him and was looked down upon, and who was almost gone. He took a deep breath, looked at the Crown Princess with red eyes, and choked up, "Ying'er, you sneaked out again..."

Qiu Ying couldn't hide her emotions. She supported her waist, walked to the man, and leaned into his arms, "Your Highness."

he said.

"It's good to sneak away."

He hugged Qiu Ying tightly.

"Scared me."

He wiped her tears, looked at her pale face, and said to Ziyin.

"First, place the Crown Princess in my palace. From now on, I will eat and live with her. Let's see who dares to take action!"

Ziyin bowed and took the Crown Princess' arm.

Qiu Ying tilted her head and said, "Man'er, take good care of Miss Jiu."

Since the matter concerned the prince's backyard, Qiu Shishu could not interfere, so he followed his daughter to the front hall.

He looked at his little daughter and narrowed his eyes.

Qiu Man understood that she would definitely find the real murderer!

Qiu Man watched her sister leave, tears welling up in her eyes again. She walked up to Jiusu and puffed her lips in grievance, "Sister Shi Shuang, thank you. I almost didn't have a sister, wuwuwu."

She covered her eyes with her arms and cried.

Jiusu handed over the tissue: "The Crown Princess is blessed with a good fate."

She looked at the collapsed yard in front of her. It had become a ruin. Liang Yu was leading people to search for things.

Jiusu really liked the Crown Princess's character. What's more, it was really vicious that someone wanted to harm the unborn child.

"This fire is really too big. A candle falling down at night might have caused the fire, but it was in broad daylight and it rained yesterday. I really can't figure out why it caught fire. And it happened to burn the Crown Princess's courtyard. What a coincidence."

Qiu Man snorted coldly: "This is not a coincidence, someone did it on purpose! She is just jealous of my sister's pregnancy and wants to replace her! Zhou Ruier, you just fainted nearby, did you set the fire? "

Zhou Ruier was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly shook her head.

"No, no, Your Highness, I am just a concubine, how dare I harm the Crown Princess?"

Xu Qihuai said in a deep voice: "Let Concubine Li come here."

Soon, Concubine Li arrived. When she heard that the Crown Prince had wronged her, she quickly explained, "Your Highness, you have wronged me. I have not been in the mansion all day. How could I possibly frame the Crown Princess?"

She looked at Zhou Ruier who was standing beside her.

The prince has few concubines, just a few.

I didn't expect this little bitch was so bold that she actually dared to set fire to the Crown Princess.

Jiusu's eyes fell on the blackened lock, and she asked, "Dear Rui Liangdi, did you say that you saw the Crown Princess in the room?"

However, the Crown Princess went out.

It would be wrong to say this now.

Zhou Ruier whispered, "The black smoke was too thick at the time, maybe what I saw was the bedding, not the Crown Princess."

Jiusu nodded and continued.

"There was a big fire at the time, and you were so worried about the safety of the Crown Princess that you walked to the door and shouted inside, wanting to rescue the Crown Princess. But the smoke was too thick, and you wanted to find someone, but you fainted outside the yard, right?"

Zhou Ruier was stunned for a moment. She actually deduced the matter so completely.

And it was not at all disadvantageous to her. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, I just walked out and the yard collapsed. I was hit by something. Fortunately, the Crown Princess is fine."

Jiusu picked up the burnt silver lock with a handkerchief and looked at Liangdi coldly.

"you are lying."

"The door was locked. How did you see into the bedroom? Or did you lock the door to prevent the Crown Princess from escaping?"

Xu Qihuai walked closer, took the black lock, and looked at it intently, "This is indeed the lock of the dormitory."

At this time, Liang Yu came over with evidence.

"Your Highness, this is the lock of the yard. I also found some straw. This is definitely not an accident. It must be man-made."

Qiu Man gritted her teeth and said, "The gates to the courtyard and the dormitory are all locked. How cruel! If I catch her, I will kill her!"

Xu Qihuai took a deep breath, staggered back a few steps with unsteady steps.

He looked back like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

Hold Zhou Ruier's slender neck.

It seemed as if it would break in the next second.

"Tell me! Is it you?"

Zhou Ruier's eyes were red, and she spoke with difficulty using the remaining space in her throat: "I... didn't... have..."

Xu Qihuai loosened his grip.

"I'll give you another chance, will you tell me or not?"

Zhou Ruier shook her head and looked at him sincerely, "It's really not me, but when I came here, I saw the concubine's maid appeared nearby. Since straw was used to start the fire, the person who set the fire must have a flaw. I am willing to accept a body search and a courtyard search."

She knelt upright.

That aloof look made Xu Qihuai a little shaken.

Xu Qihuai said calmly: "Search the whole house!"

He looked up at the gray sky and saw a drizzle falling, "Miss Jiu, little sister, let's go to the side hall and wait."

There is a palace nearby.

The rain fell on the two women kneeling on the ground. Concubine Li did not set the fire, but there was an unknown secret in her bedroom. She kept praying in her heart not to be discovered.

Concubine Li wished she could eat Zhou Ruier alive.

"Little bitch, who told you to take the initiative to search the house?"

Zhou Ruier knelt quietly, her head lowered, unable to see the expression on her face. She chuckled and asked, "Could it be that there is evidence of murder of the Crown Princess in the concubine's courtyard?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

Before Concubine Li could finish her words, she saw Liang Yu coming towards her with a black wooden box. Suddenly, her face turned pale, she couldn't breathe, and fainted.

Zhou Ruier's eyes were cold and the rain was running down her hair.

He slowly uttered two words to Concubine Li.

"You idiot, you can actually find evidence."
