Jun Mo was so angry that he couldn't speak.

These women are more difficult to deal with than the other, and more hateful than the other.

"Pei Zhiyi, regarding the death of the eldest prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has accused you of being a suspect. Do you have anything to say?"

"Of course I have something to say."

Pei Zhiyi smiled slightly, turned around and faced Jun Mo. "I wonder where the evidence is that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has accused me of being a suspect? How much evidence can he prove? Why can you, who is also a suspect, accuse me? Could it be that we are actually in the same group and attacked the eldest prince together?"

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"

Jun Mo took a few steps back to keep his distance from Pei Zhiyi. Every time he saw this face, he still felt a little dazed, especially today. He always felt dizzy. Although he knew she was not Zhinian, he felt somewhat powerless when looking at her.

"This prince has evidence to accuse you."

Jun Mo was confident about this. "I heard that when my eldest brother went to catch monsters outside the capital, he was trapped by the female monster, and Miss Pei also joined the rescue operation at that time, is that right?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded, then shook his head.

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean by yes and no? If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. Miss Pei, there is no need to say such ambiguous words to cover up your guilt."

"Yes, because I did go to the mountains outside the capital to catch a monster. As for not going, it's because I didn't go there with the intention of saving him. I was just interested in the monster, and my friend happened to be in danger, so I took the opportunity to solve the problem."

"My brother is the most distinguished of the Crown Princes. Everyone went there to rescue him. If you say otherwise, it's a bit hypocritical. Or perhaps you went there so you could kill my brother during this monster-hunting operation and pin the blame on the monster."

"Why would I kill a piece of trash?"

Pei Zhiyi asked sincerely, and Jun Mo almost couldn't catch it, "What did you say?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Third Prince's hearing isn't very good either." Pei Zhiyi kindly repeated, "I say, what makes you think I would put myself and my friends in danger just to kill a piece of trash?"

"How dare you call my eldest brother a waste!" Jun Mo laughed in his heart. After all, she was a young girl, and if she spoke without thinking, she would eventually bring disaster upon herself.

"Is not it?"

Pei Zhiyi sighed helplessly, "After so many years of training, his swordsmanship is still half-baked. He went to catch a monster and ended up losing himself. In the end, he had to rely on others to rescue him. What else can he be but a waste?"

"I'm gifted and have outstanding abilities. Why would I attack a piece of trash? What do you think?"

Pei Zhiyi was the first one who could praise himself without changing his expression. Ye Ruoxi almost laughed out loud.

"Because you are the staff of Emperor Qingge's younger sister!"

Jun Mo also pressed on, "Everyone knows that the struggle for royal power is very fierce, and my sister is extremely ambitious and has turned against Tian Gang. However, a woman actually dares to covet that position. And as long as she covets that position, she will naturally eliminate everyone who can get in her way."

"Then according to what His Royal Highness the Third Prince said, it's not impossible for you."

Pei Zhiyi looked at Jun Mo with a half-smile as he said some words full of loopholes. Everyone said that the Third Prince was very capable and intelligent, but today he saw that he was just a fool.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, if you only have these insignificant things that can barely be called evidence to accuse me, then your accusation is completely unfounded. Furthermore, based on what you've said, you seem to be more suspicious than I am. At this point, you should protect yourself and give Director Ye a proper explanation."

The whole situation reversed in an instant, and Ye Ruoxi wanted to applaud.

"You're just good at talking. Do you think that after you say this, the wise Director Ye will believe your attempt to shift the blame?"

The wise Director Ye himself: "..."

You know what, she actually believed it.

"In that case, there is only one way left."

Pei Zhiyi sighed deeply, looking somewhat regretful. "Actually, it's very simple to tell whether you or I are the murderer. All you need to do is search our souls. Although this method is a bit crude, it's effective."

Searching for souls?

Jun Mo's pupils widened instantly, "Are you crazy? How can you treat soul searching as a joke?"

This method is torture for those who practice cultivation, let alone an ordinary person like him who is only half-baked.

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness the Third Prince. As long as you have nothing to hide and don't struggle or resist during the soul search, you'll be fine. Furthermore, Director Ye is surrounded by many talented people who can treat this type of injury. I'm not afraid, so why should you be?"

"no!"

Jun Mo suddenly felt guilty, "I absolutely disagree."

"I can prove my innocence by searching his soul, but His Highness the Third Prince is not happy about it. Could it be that he has something to hide? Then I understand. Perhaps you suddenly accused me just to find a scapegoat. In fact, the real cause of His Highness the First Prince's death was you."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Jun Mo was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down, his eyes were wandering, and within a few seconds he suddenly started shouting.

Pei Zhiyi looked solemn and caught the troublemaker in an instant.

"Is this the thing that's in his head, controlling his thoughts?"

Jun Mo had already fainted, and Ye Ruoxi had someone send him back to the bedroom.

"should be."

How could Jun Mo be so stupid that every word he said was full of loopholes?

"How did you guess that something was wrong with him?"

"Although I've only met him once, I can clearly see what kind of person he is. To have survived in this man-eating palace for so many years, and to have so many people be wary and afraid of him, his strategy and mind must be extraordinary."

"I didn't pay much attention to it."

Pei Zhiyi smiled and comforted him, "You've been tossed around a lot these past few days, and you're a little tired. It's normal that your mindset hasn't changed so quickly."

"Then what do we do next?"

"Since we know he's making malicious accusations, I won't be accused of suspicion again for a while. During this time, I can do a lot of things. You should continue investigating the case step by step, while I'll look into the details."

"Again, be careful." Ye Ruoxi hugged Pei Zhiyi, "I will definitely seek some compensation for you from His Majesty the Human King."

"That would require more treasures."

"It's natural."

The two smiled at each other, and only at this moment did they feel relaxed.

"I'll get you out of here first. This isn't a good place. If you stay here for too long, some toxins will seep into your body."

Pei Zhiyi sneezed. "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized it. This place is indeed more eerie than anything I've ever seen before."
