Soon, a palace maid suddenly came running in in a panic, "Third Prince, the Crown Prince...he..."

Everyone was shocked.

Qin Wenli frowned, "What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The palace maid lowered her head, unable to speak, and said awkwardly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Jiang Second..."

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.

Qin Wenli walked towards Qin Chengqian's room.

Everyone followed to watch the fun, but when they entered the room, they saw the prince and Jiang Xiru hurriedly tidying up their clothes.

What happened is self-evident.

Jiang Xiru didn't even dare to raise her head, and Qin Chengqian was also very embarrassed.

Although he and Jiang Xiru were already engaged, they had not yet gotten married. As the crown prince, he did such a thing before getting married, which inevitably made people talk about his moral character.

He originally refused this, but he drank too much tonight, and Jiang Xiru was dressed rather...specially, so he talked to him under the moon and drank with him.

I couldn't help myself for a moment.

Thinking that it was late at night and no one would know about it, many palace servants suddenly appeared. When they knocked on the door but it didn't open, they mistakenly thought that something had happened to him and rushed in.

He was hit right in the face.

Qin Wenli was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Brother, your wedding is in April. Can't you wait these few months?"

"If this matter gets out, it will damage the reputation of the royal family."

"You are the crown prince, and your conduct should set an example. How could you..."

Qin Chengqian's face turned extremely ugly, and he angrily said, "It's the incense, there's something wrong with the incense!"

"Didn't the palace servant who reported that the incense had been replaced with aphrodisiac incense? I wonder who did this, intending to destroy my reputation. How vicious!"

"It must be thoroughly investigated! It must be severely punished!"

Lu Qingheng in the crowd froze, the anger in his eyes almost unable to be suppressed, but he couldn't open his mouth to defend himself.

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips, "Yes, this person is really vicious! She even wants to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She must not know that the Crown Prince and Jiang Xiru are already engaged."

"Otherwise, why bother with this?"

When these words were spoken, many people laughed secretly.

Who would take such a big risk to frame the prince and his fiancée?

They were already engaged, and all that was left for them to get married was a wedding. If the news of their early wedding night got out, at most people would talk about it. What harm could it cause?

Besides, there was no smell of aphrodisiac in the room.

Everyone knows it.

But because he was the prince, he did not dare to expose it.

So, Qin Chengqian was furious and wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out who had put the aphrodisiac incense!

Everyone gathered at the Snow Pavilion for the night banquet.

The palace maids knelt on the ground.

Under serious interrogation, the two palace maids confessed.

"Yes... Miss Qin gave us money and asked us to do this."

"We didn't know about the love incense, but we did deliberately divert their time and lead them to the same room."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Jianjian.

Lu Qingheng, who was sitting on the chair, gripped the handle tightly, his nails almost scratching it, and warned Qin Jianjian with a sharp look.

Qin Jianjian has to bear this blame alone!

If you dare to give her out, Qin Jianjian will be made to suffer a fate worse than death!

On the other hand, Qin Beihuang was not surprised at all. He kept an eye on Lu Qingheng from the corner of his eye. Seeing her threatening and intimidating look at Qin Jianran, he felt uncomfortable.

"Qin Jianjian, what do you have to say?" Qin Wenli asked in a sharp tone.

Qin's face gradually turned pale. He slowly stood up, walked forward, and knelt down.

He calmly admitted, "I ordered it, and I was the one who ordered the love incense."

Qin Wenli asked again: "Did you do it yourself, or was someone instructing you?"

Qin Jianjian fell silent all of a sudden.

There was no answer for a long time.

Lu Qingheng's heart was in his throat, and his eyes became more fierce and ferocious.

Jiang Ningwan noticed her look and couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course Qin Jianjian did it himself."

"Who else could have ordered her to do all this? Lu Qingheng?"

When Lu Qingheng was mentioned, he was obviously panicked, and sweat broke out on his forehead due to nervousness.

Ling Jinlan took over the conversation: "Of course that's impossible!"

"She and Qin Beihuang are husband and wife. How could she drug her husband with another woman? Isn't that just cheating on herself?"

"What kind of heart does one have to have to do such a thing?"

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows, "Yeah, it can't be her."

"I don't think there's any need for further trial. Once we've dealt with Qin Jianjian, we can go back and rest."

Hearing this, Lu Qingheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't doubt her.

Her mood was fluctuating wildly, and she felt a little dizzy at the moment.

But when Qin Wenli was about to speak, Qin Jianjian suddenly said loudly: "I did it, I admit it!"

"But this matter was instructed by Lu Qingheng!"

"She told me every step of the plan! She hates Jiang Ningwan and my brother, so she wants to ruin their reputation and make everyone think that my brother owes her!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Qingheng's face suddenly turned pale and he almost fainted.

There was an uproar all around.

They all looked at Lu Qingheng in shock.

"Don't make such random accusations! How could I hate Bei Huang? Back then, I would rather be his concubine than marry him. My feelings for him are known to everyone. How could I possibly do such a thing to frame him!"

Lu Qingheng stood up anxiously and refuted angrily.

Qin Jianjian took off the white jade bracelet on his wrist and held it high.

"This is the proof!"

"When my mother was still alive, she was very dissatisfied with Lu Qingheng and deliberately made things difficult for her! She hated my mother and used this white jade bracelet to kill her!"

"This white jade bracelet has been tampered with. Wearing it for a long time will cause poisoning and death."

When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Qin Beihuang stood up suddenly, "What did you say!"

Lu Qingheng panicked and grabbed Qin Beihuang's arm, "I didn't do that! Beihuang, she slandered me!"

"Mom just had a headache, how could it be my fault?"

Qin Jianjian's eyes gradually filled with tears. "You can ask the imperial physician to examine this white jade bracelet."

"At the beginning, Lu Qingheng tried to please my mother by giving her many jewelries, including two white jade bracelets, and I got one."

"My mother was killed by the poison in the jewelry. Because I only have this jade bracelet, I have been able to survive until now."

Qin Beihuang immediately picked up the white jade bracelet and took a look. "Yes, I remember my mother also wore an identical white jade bracelet."

"Imperial doctor!"

Soon, the imperial physician arrived and examined the white jade bracelet.

He nodded solemnly, "Yes, this jade bracelet is poisonous!"

"It's a chronic poison. If worn for a long time, the poison will seep into the skin, causing the body to gradually weaken. If Princess Yi also has this jade bracelet, it is very likely that the poison aggravated her illness and caused her death."

In order to confirm this, Qin Jianjian stretched out his wrist and said, "Can you please ask the imperial physician to see if I have been poisoned by this jade bracelet?"

After taking her pulse, the imperial physician nodded.

"Yes, I was poisoned by the jade bracelet."

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If it had continued to be worn, I'm afraid it would not last long."

These words completely confirmed that there was something strange about Princess Yi's death.

Lu Qingheng refused to admit it and argued vigorously: "It's not me! Who knows where this bracelet came from! My mother has one on her hand, but I didn't give it to her!"

Qin Jianjian smiled palely, "After mother died, you took charge of the family and asked the maids to monitor my every move. I had no choice but to cooperate with you to frame my brother and Jiang Ningwan!"

"You killed my mother, and you want to kill me, and even more so my brother."

"You are an utterly vicious woman!"
