The clothes he had carefully prepared for her were partially torn. Her hands were stained with blood, and even a little on her face. Her eyes, which had once held some light, were now completely devoid of it.

Bai Ziche's heart ached, and he reached out to help her clean it up bit by bit: "Qiqing, be good, don't be afraid, Bai Ziche is here, Qiqing..."

"Aunt, aunt, my cousin died so tragically, you have to do something for him." Yao Ruling's scream woke everyone up, and they all looked at the two people in the wheelchairs in horror. Who is the girl who is gently held in the arms of the second prince?

What a scene they had just witnessed. A purple-clad girl stood alone at the doorway, her back to the others, her right hand smeared with blood. Drops of blood dripped onto the ground, and the room was littered with broken limbs and blood.

Perhaps it was the first time they knew that a person could bleed so much and be so torn apart.

His Majesty the Emperor immediately gave the order, calling on the Imperial Guards to surround the entire Luolin West Garden and prepare to capture the murderer, the girl in purple.

The girl seemed lifeless and showed no reaction at all until the second prince held her in his arms.

The Queen Mother saw Yao Ruling, who had fallen at her feet in fear, and then she looked at Yao Shoulu, who had been covered with a white cloth, with great pain.

He knew very well what kind of person his nephew was. He had also seen a lot of conspiracies and filth in the harem. Judging from Yao Ruling's reaction, he could guess the cause of the incident without even thinking.

However, even if she had lived to this day, she had never seen such a bloody scene. And no matter what Yao Shoulu and Yao Ruling did, her nephew was dead after all, and died so miserably.

Queen Yao's cold eyes passed over Yao Ruling, and Yao Ruling suddenly fell to the ground. She knew that her aunt knew everything.

Her father and second uncle would also know about it. She was really scared. She would definitely be hated by her aunt and father.

Yao Ruling was completely panicked, her mind a mess. What should she do? What should she do now? Yes, Qiqing must die. She was the one who killed her cousin. She just wanted to insist that it was her cousin who coveted that bitch Qiqing, and it had nothing to do with her.

Yes, it has nothing to do with her. As long as Qiqing dies, it will calm my aunt's anger, and my aunt will definitely stand on my side.

"Aunt, my cousin is your nephew and the only legitimate son of my second uncle. You must kill that bitch Qiqing and avenge your cousin." Yao Ruling's sharp cry woke up everyone present.

Yes, the one who died was the Empress's own nephew. Empress Yao looked at him with complicated eyes, obviously in a protective attitude, and hugged her own son in the girl's arms, with a pleading look on her face.

She closed her eyes. No matter what, this little girl's methods were so cruel, she absolutely could not be spared. When she opened her eyes again, Empress Yao and Emperor Yunlang exchanged a glance.

Knowing that he meant to give her full authority to deal with her, she hardened her heart and said, "Yulin Guards, arrest her. Nanny Wang, bring me a glass of wine." He wanted to sentence her to death directly.

"yes"

"Mother, no, this is not possible..." Bai Ziche hurriedly clenched his hands around the girl in his arms, who still showed no reaction.

When the Imperial Guards heard the Second Prince speak, they also stopped and did not dare to snatch the person from the Second Prince.

"Is there any need to investigate this matter?" Queen Yao pointed with her white hand, "It was she who killed your cousin, no matter what the reason was, even if Yao Shoulu wanted to do something." This was what Queen Yao thought, and what everyone present thought.

Bai Ziche's voice, as cold as water, was filled with unnoticed panic as he slowly spoke, "Mother, are you sure it was Qi Qing who killed the person? Did you see it with your own eyes? Which of you saw Qi Qing do it?"

No matter how weak Yao Shoulu was, he was still a tall and strong man. He could be torn to pieces by Qiqing, um... this girl who was probably not even 16 years old, without any warning from the guards of the Imperial Garden.

Even if the guards here were deliberately transferred away." When the last word fell, Bai Ziche's eyes were no longer as refreshing as spring breeze, but rather gloomy and scrutinizing. He glanced at Yao Ruling lightly.

The latter's heart instantly felt like it was being soaked in cold water, chilling him to the bone. There was some agitation in the crowd, and some people probably had their doubts. After all, it was hard to equate a girl who looked like she was petrified with a murderer who had killed people in such a cruel way.

Even Queen Yao had a moment of doubt.

"Second Prince, everyone just saw Miss Qiqing in your arms. She was covered in blood, especially her right hand, which was constantly flowing down. The blood hasn't dried yet!

If it wasn't her, who could it be? He's the only one here." Prime Minister Yao said in a deep voice. Although Yao Shoulu was not his biological son, he was still the legitimate son of his second brother.

Moreover, ever since his second brother's family met with disaster, he has been fostered in the Prime Minister's residence. He has developed some feelings for them over the years. If he were to die in unclear circumstances, then he would be completely disgraced as the Prime Minister.

Bai Ziche said calmly, "Uncle is right. If it's not Qiqing, then it must be someone else. As for who it is, we need to investigate thoroughly. Perhaps Qiqing is the only witness."

But this child must have seen something, so she was scared and stunned. After she calms down, I will ask her in detail, and I think there will be clues."

Prime Minister Yao was extremely angry and snorted coldly: "Second Prince, is it because this woman is the savior of you and Fourth Prince, or is there some other reason?

It's so obvious, yet Your Highness can actually come up with such a ridiculous story. I've heard that this woman has been living in the Second Prince's residence since entering Yunjing City. She eats and sleeps with Your Highness, and their relationship is very close. But even so, Shoulu is your cousin.
