After most of the day's hard work, the military forces, led by Chu Yan, finally found out the whereabouts of the assassin.

Because then some people broke through the checkpoint by relying on their identities. When we inquired about their identities, we found out that these people were the men of Marquis Yong'an.

Chu Yan didn't give any face at all. He arrested him immediately and followed the clues to find out a number of court officials who were related to the assassination.

Although I don’t know the specific process, at least this is what Xiao Ling got the information about.

When it was dark, Chu Yi met the emperor with a list.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, I have learned that the assassins involved include Marquis Dingyuan, Earl Ruan Jiang, and Chief Censor Li Siliang. The mastermind behind this is undoubtedly Prince Fu!"

After saying that, he handed the list he had already prepared to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling quickly took the list and carefully went through the names on it. Then, she picked up another list sent by Tianwei and compared it.

There are no unnecessary discrepancies between the two lists, and Tianwei's investigation is even more detailed.

Xiao Ling looked at Chu Yi with a look that seemed a little strange. She said with some surprise, "I really didn't realize that Lord Chu was so knowledgeable about the duties of trial and investigation."

"Your Majesty, you are joking." Chu Yi bowed, "These are all the findings of your humble brother's investigation. I was not involved."

"Oh? So that's the case. Then why not let General Chu deliver the list?" Xiao Ling asked.

"I am a military commander, not good at speaking, I am afraid I can't explain these things clearly."

Xiao Ling: “…”

Listen to me, you traitor! Don’t you feel embarrassed when you say this?

I'm afraid that your younger brother is not as thoughtful as you, and he might say something wrong when he tries to deceive me?

Thinking this in his heart, Xiao Ling was too lazy to care.

Although the information obtained from Tianwei is similar to that sent by Chu Yi, some of the names on the list cannot be easily changed.

For example, Prince Fu.

Because she couldn't guarantee whether these people were framed by Chu Yi.

Chu Yi said those words to her in the morning at the Chu family. She still hasn't confirmed whether Chu Yi was behind the assassination.

"Since the mastermind has been found, I will have the Heavenly Guards conduct a thorough investigation. If they are found to be correct, I will show no mercy."

After saying this, Xiao Ling looked at Chu Yi, wanting to see if he had anything else to say.

When Chu Yi heard the emperor mention the Heavenly Guards, his face immediately turned ugly.

He couldn't help but step forward and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the trial of the assassination, I believe that although the Tianwei are reliable, the punishments are too bloody, and confessions may be forced, which may lead to flaws. Why not let the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple handle this case..."

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Ling.

“No need!”

"The Heavenly Guards are completely loyal to me. I believe they will reveal the truth when the time comes. This matter concerns my safety, so there is nothing wrong with handing it over to them."

"Your Majesty, Prince Fu is the late emperor's brother!" Chu Yi said coldly:

"If it's a Tianwei trial, they naturally can't use torture. Instead, they should ask the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to be more reasonable."

To be honest, he was already used to being strong in front of the emperor, so he was a little surprised when the emperor refuted him in an unquestionable tone.

Of course, besides being surprised, I couldn't help but feel angry.

You are just a little emperor. I have finally reached this position, but you can't even take care of your own life. Isn't it better for you to just take care of everything yourself?

Chu Yi was very unhappy, and his gloomy face showed without hesitation.

As soon as Xiao Ling saw his expression, she knew that this traitor must be very angry.

But it doesn’t matter, she is no longer Chen Tang, but the emperor.

No matter how powerful Chu Yi is, she has no intention of giving in this time.

She just wanted to confront this traitor.

"Haha, according to what you said, Master Chu, with the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple at the same time, I'm afraid this matter won't be fully resolved until next year's Spring Examination."

"However, I'm thinking of being more careful and letting the Censorate get involved. We can have a joint trial by the three courts. Wouldn't that make things clearer?"

The Censorate is the censorial department. You should know that there is a Censor-in-Chief on this list who is an official of the Censorate.

If we let that group of censors come in to join the trial, who knows if the Censorate will cover up something?

It's obvious that if you don't let me play, then no one else can play.

By then, no matter whether the three of us accept it or not, we won’t be able to find out anything.

Chu Yi really couldn't bear it this time.

He flicked his sleeves, stood up suddenly, and took a few steps towards the emperor.

Xiao Ling was sitting on the dragon throne when she saw Chu Yi suddenly stand in front of her with a dark face, and then stare at her from top to bottom.

This made her feel inexplicably panicked.

She had been in more private contact with Chu Yi these days, and she knew Chu Yi's temper very well, so she naturally knew what traitor meant.

However, after a brief panic, Xiao Ling regained his composure.

After all, this is the Purple Palace. No matter what Chu Yi does, he cannot force the emperor to abdicate directly.

Besides, the traitor is alone now, and there are so many eunuchs outside her Zichen Palace. Even if the Chu thief really wants to force her to abdicate, would she be afraid of a mere civil servant?

After thinking this through, Xiao Ling's tone became much calmer, and he asked sternly:

"Chu Yi, what do you mean?"

"Are you planning to force the emperor to abdicate? Or are you planning to rebel?"

Facing the emperor's wrath, Chu Yi's expression was rarely terrible.

It was so terrifying that Yuzhu, who didn't know what was going on, was terrified, fearing that something might happen to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that relying on the Heavenly Guards to investigate a case will lead to the discovery of the truth?"

Chu Yi stared at the emperor who was angrily criticizing on the dragon throne, his face still looking very innocent.

"I have made it very clear. The vassal kings outside Da'an are far more terrifying than others."

"I have said this much. I hope Your Majesty will take care of himself!"

"As long as Prince Fu is not dead, Da'an will be destroyed by Your Majesty sooner or later!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves again, and then a man in a red robe was seen walking away.

Xiao Ling stood up in a daze.

She was still carefully savoring Chu Yi's words. Logically speaking, Chu Yi didn't need to say these things.

Could it be that Prince Fu is really doing something behind the scenes?

The emperor's death was strange, and she suspected it was related to the princes. Could it be that... Prince Fu was secretly plotting something evil and waiting for an opportunity to act?

A cloud of doubts lingered in Xiao Ling's heart for a long time.

Faced with the current situation, she doesn't even know where to start.
