After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Zhao Liangfeng is dead, who is the suspect?

Because a palace maid pointed out that Yuan Wanru had changed clothes in the room where Zhao Liangfeng had the accident, Yuan Wanru was inevitably summoned by Ye Shizhen.

Lu Jiangnian glanced at Ye Shizhen and said, "My wife is timid. Lord Ye, please don't be too harsh."

Ye Shizhen: ...

He hasn't even said a word, but Lu Jiangnian is so protective of him. Shouldn't he not avoid it?

Lu Jiangnian had no intention of avoiding the question. He looked at Yuan Wanru, his expression softening considerably. "My lady, this is just a routine inquiry. Don't be afraid."

Yuan Wanru acted weak and helpless, as if she had no opinion of her own and relied on Lu Jiangnian wholeheartedly: "As long as my husband is here, I'm not afraid."

Lu Jiangnian's deep eyes were filled with affection. "Well, I'm not afraid."

Although he believed in his wife's courage, he was still not completely at ease when she took part in the game today.

Now that he saw her standing before him safe and sound, he felt that his heart was finally at peace.

This situation was something they had discussed.

They did not ignore the fact that Zhao Liangfeng, who was monitoring Yuan Wanru, received a note.

The couple analyzed that Murong Ling did not have this ability. The Fifth Prince had been relatively well-behaved recently. If the Third Prince wanted to join forces with Zhao Liangfeng, he would not have to go through the trouble of delivering notes. After all, it was most likely that Concubine Liang would cooperate with Zhao Liangfeng to deal with Yuan Wanru.

After all, Liang Yusong was behind Lu Wei's drugging. After failing, it made sense that Concubine Liang wanted to use Zhao Liangfeng to murder Yuan Wanru.

Because of this incident, they decided to kill Zhao Liangfeng.

If Concubine Liang were to take action, the guards of Xunfang Palace would definitely be more lax.

They can also exploit the loopholes that the enemy can exploit.

Shi Ying's martial arts skills are not very high, but his lightness skills are excellent; Xuan Ying is one of the rare top masters in the world, and with Xuan Qing as his deputy, they can definitely kill the opponent.

The evil deeds committed by Zhao Liangfeng are enough for him to die ten times.

Why not take advantage of Concubine Liang's plan, fish in troubled waters, and kill such a scum?

By the way, you can also use the name of investigating the case to find out the background of the second prince.

Fortunately, everything was as they expected. His wife was really capable. Lu Jiangnian was filled with pride.

Love surged in his heart, but for some reason, his mind felt a pang of pain.

The pain came and went quickly, and Lu Jiangnian didn't take it to heart at all.

They were clearly trying a case, but Lu Jiangnian's affectionate look really made Ye Shizhen embarrassed.

"Master Lu, please call the witness."

This is not the residence of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, you'd better respect yourself.

Lu Jiangnian's eyes moved away from Yuan Wanru, and his warm expression suddenly turned cold. "Everything will be arranged by Lord Ye."

Ye Shizhen was also impressed by the speed of his expression change.

"It's the palace maid Xiaozhu."

Xiaozhu is a palace maid with a round face. At first sight, Yuan Wanru guessed that Xiaozhu was probably a cannon fodder pushed out by Concubine Liang.

The person who took them to the west side hall to change clothes today was not Xiao Zhu at all.

Ye Shizhen got straight to the point: "You said you saw Madam Lu go to the wing room in the west wing today?"

Xiao Zhu trembled with fear, but nodded confidently, "Yes, I was cleaning the dead leaves in the small pond outside the corridor when I saw a sister leading Madam Lu past the corridor, heading towards the West Side Hall."

Xiao Zhu was very scared. She didn't know why she was involved in the death of an imperial official.

Not long ago, the aunt in charge gathered everyone together and asked those on duty at the time of the incident whether they saw anyone go to the west wing hall.

Xiaozhu just wanted to keep herself safe, but the head aunt had a vicious look in her eyes, as if she saw through her secret. The aunt said sinisterly that anyone who dared to hide the truth would be beaten to death immediately.

Xiao Zhu was terrified and did not dare to hide anything, so she told the truth.

Yuan Wanru didn't know what would happen to Xiaozhu, so she could only continue to act according to her script.

She looked confused and said, "When have I ever been to the West Side Hall? You must have seen it wrong."

Although Xiao Zhu was trembling with fear, she still said firmly: "Mrs. Lu is lying. She clearly went to the wing room."

Yuan Wanru shook her head desperately, panic and fear on her face: "No, I didn't. You are trying to ruin my reputation."

She looked at Lu Jiangnian and explained anxiously, "Husband, don't listen to her nonsense. I really haven't been there."

"If Haining hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known what had happened. Husband, you must believe me."

Yuan Wanru stared at Lu Jiangnian with burning eyes, fearing that he would be unhappy. After all, it was not appropriate for a woman to watch that kind of scene.

Lu Jiangnian said softly, "Don't worry. I trust you. There's no need to worry."

He turned his head to look at Ye Shizhen: "Master Ye, my wife is weak and powerless. If she goes in and discovers such an ugly thing, how can she still survive?"

No matter who saw such a dirty thing, Zhao Liangfeng would never let it go.

Ye Shizhen thought about it seriously for a moment and felt that it was unlikely that Yuan Wanru had been to the wing room.

According to the coroner's autopsy results, Zhao Liangfeng and others were not dead when Yuan Wanru went to the wing room. He would never let Yuan Wanru leave unharmed.

Yuan Wanru looked helpless, as if she was frightened. "I was clearly led to the East Side Hall to change clothes. Why did you want to harm me? I have no grudge against you."

She was extremely angry and pointed at Xiao Zhu and questioned him.

Xiao Zhu didn't expect that Yuan Wanru would deny it flatly. She clearly saw Mrs. Lu walking towards the west side hall.

"No, I didn't see it wrongly. It was clearly you who went to the West Side Hall."

Lu Jiangnian ignored Xiao Zhu. He asked with concern, "Madam, can you find someone to prove that you went to the East Side Hall?"

Ye Shizhen saw that Mrs. Lu, who was originally uneasy, suddenly had her eyes brightened up and said happily: "Yes, I met someone else in the East Side Hall."

"After I changed my clothes, I saw two parrots hanging in the corridor of the east side hall. I chatted with them for a long time."

"Later, two young eunuchs who were supposed to take care of the parrot came, along with two maids. I chatted with them about some interesting things about the parrot and gave each of them a little silver."

"If Lord Ye doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to look for it."

Having said that, Ye Shizhen felt that it was unlikely that Yuan Wanru had been to the West Wing Hall, and the suspicion could be ruled out.

"Thank you, Madam Lu, for your cooperation. Please return."

Xiao Zhu's face turned pale, and she repeated in a lost voice: "Impossible, I really saw Mrs. Lu."

Yuan Wanru didn't leave. She looked at Lu Jiangnian and said, "My husband, Xiaozhu was by the pond outside the corridor at that time. She was quite a distance away. She must have recognized the wrong person. Don't blame her."

Lu Jiangnian understood what she meant. His wife just didn't want to involve innocent people.

"Don't worry, I don't blame her. It's truly rare for her to bravely stand up and cooperate with us in the investigation. Even if her merits and demerits are offset, it's still a rare achievement."

Xiao Zhu suddenly looked at Yuan Wanru. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu was so magnanimous that she actually forgave her.

Could it be that she really saw it wrong?

Ye Shizhen nodded repeatedly. This couple was quite open-minded. "Don't worry, Madam Lu. As long as we can prove that Xiaozhu didn't deliberately make a false accusation, I will release her."
