Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Despite his panic, Xu Jinyi still grasped the key point of the Supervisory Censor: "Does the Censor suspect that I have murdered my teacher?"

"Everything is possible."

Xu Jinyi hadn't recovered from the grief of Yao Wenchang's murder when he became the biggest suspect. He immediately knelt down and said:

"Please understand, Your Excellency the Censor, I have no reason and no ability to kill you."

Xu Jinyi had no way to prove his innocence and could only repeatedly emphasize that he was not the murderer.

His words failed to impress the Censor: "Until there is a result, I have wronged Minister Xu to stay in the prison."

Xu Jinyi had accidentally gotten himself into this trap, and he knew he couldn't escape for a while. He had only one question: "Sir, could you please tell me how the teacher was murdered?"

The censor considered it for a moment and said four words meaningfully: "Kill him with one blow."

The dagger that had pierced Yao Wenchang's neck came from a blacksmith's shop in Beijing. It was not a delicate weapon, but it was extremely sharp. The murderer was a martial artist, and his technique was precise.

With one knife strike, Yao Wenchang's trachea was cut and his life was taken before he even had time to call for help.

From this point of view, Xu Jinyi could not possibly be the murderer. He was just a scholar and was weak as a kitten. It would be very difficult for him to kill him with one knife.

However, the guards had already questioned everyone, and someone pointed out that the last person Yao Wenchang saw before his death was Xu Jinyi.

The Censor narrowed his eyes slightly. The Emperor ordered that the case must be thoroughly investigated. If the real murderer could not be found, then the person in front of him, even if he was not the real murderer, would become the "real murderer".

The news of Xu Jinyi's arrest only reached Yonghe Palace the next day.

Ji Xingyao was changing the water in a vase when her hand trembled and she almost dropped the centuries-old antique.

"How could he possibly kill someone? Ayuan, you don't know, he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken."

Ji Xingyao and Xu Jinyi had been together for some time. He was preparing for the exam very hard at that time, so Ji Xingyao wanted to buy a chicken to nourish him.

When she was holding a kitchen knife and preparing to bleed the chicken, Xu Jinyi snatched the knife away.

"Miss Ji, I can take care of these chores."

The poor chicken only needed to be stabbed once, but ended up being stabbed thirteen times by Xu Jinyi before dying unjustly.

"A Yuan, how could such a person kill someone with just one blow? This is a false case that can be easily identified."

Wen Yuan was indifferent to the affairs of the court, but this matter concerned Xu Jinyi, so she could not sit idly by.

"Xingyao, this matter can't be rushed. I'll ask someone to find out."

The palace maids who were sent out soon found out that the Censor seemed to be convinced that Xu Jinyi was the murderer and had put him in prison, awaiting his fate.

"What? Isn't this taking human life lightly? Why is the case so hastily decided when there are so many doubts?" Ji Xingyao clenched his fists in hatred.

Wen Yuan's heart sank, knowing that this matter was not simple.

She called Madam Li over and said, "I want to see the Emperor."

Nanny Li was shocked. It had been a long time since the imperial concubine had taken the initiative to ask to see the emperor.

It was obviously a good thing, but she felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

"What's wrong?" Wen Yuan asked.

Nanny Li avoided looking at him, not knowing how to explain. She could only say, "The Emperor is busy and may not be able to see the Empress right now."

"What are you busy with? Busy accompanying Amire?" Wen Yuan hit the nail on the head, and Nanny Li's expression changed immediately.

Haha, it’s true.

I heard that with the queen's coronation ceremony approaching, Li Zhao has been personally accompanying Amire to review the rules of the Taifeng Dynasty these days.

Princess Amire was not one to sit still, so after learning the boring and obscure etiquette of being a queen, Li Zhao would accompany her to relax, such as playing Cuju, pitching pots, watching operas...

It is also said that Amire is willful and capricious. Once Li Zhao agreed to accompany her, she would not allow outsiders to disturb her. It is said that even the major floods in the south are not as valuable as Princess Amire's smile.

Wen Yuan sneered: "Then let's wait until the emperor is free."

"Yes." Nanny Li broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was a person who would not fight or compete. Otherwise, she would be caught in the middle and would probably lose her life sooner or later.
