Chen Palace.
"impossible!"
After hearing Han Feng's words, Qin Ye denied it without hesitation, "Zong Zhengchen would never do such a thing!"
The prince frequently offended King Chen, but he tolerated it out of consideration for their brotherly love.
If he wanted to harm the prince, he would have done it long ago and would not have waited until now.
Han Feng was extremely anxious. "Princess, even though we all know the master's character, but... the evidence is irrefutable. I cannot enter the palace, and I don't know the master's current situation..."
"More importantly, Concubine Wei is dead, and there is no evidence to prove her wrongdoing."
Qin Ye was surprised: "She's dead?"
That girl?
The one I saw in the other garden was the quiet, non-competitive daughter of Lord Wei, Wei Siyi.
"It is said that when she was trying to assassinate someone, she was slapped by the prince and died on the spot. The situation was urgent, and the prince's mansion was heavily guarded, so many things could not be found out. I don't know what the situation is in the prince's mansion now, and I don't know what to do. I..."
“Don’t be impatient!”
Qin Ye held his shoulders and looked at him steadily, trying to calm him down.
"I'm here."
These three short and steady words, at this moment, took on the responsibility of Prince Chen's Mansion.
When Zong Zhengchen is not around, she is the one in charge of the family.
She suppressed the thoughts in her mind, and even though the situation was urgent, she analyzed it as calmly and quickly as possible, and said in a deep voice:
"Zong Zhengchen has entered the palace and may not be back for a while. It is just dawn and the news of Concubine Wei's assassination of the Crown Prince should not have spread yet. Now, there are two most important things."
"Concubine Wei and the jade pendant."
"You should immediately take people to investigate the jade pendant. Since it was Zong Zhengchen's personal jade pendant, it is impossible for it to appear on Concubine Wei for no reason. Find out who stole it! I will go to Shuntian Prefecture now."
Her words were calm and her thoughts were clear, which instantly smoothed out Han Feng's messy heart.
He has followed the master for so long, but he panics like this when something happens. He doesn't even have half the composure of the princess.
He immediately said, "Princess, I'll check it now!"
Without further ado, Qin Ye left the house immediately.
As soon as he ran to the door, he ran into Ling Qianyi who was running towards him:
"Qin Ye, it's bad! Something happened!!"
He ran until his face was red and he was out of breath.
In a complex and deep place like the palace, there are spies and forces everywhere. It is not surprising that the news of the assassination of the prince reached the Dingguo Marquis Mansion so quickly.
The fact that he could arrive so early is enough to show that he has a very good relationship with King Chen.
"I know." Qin Ye said in a deep voice, and ran out quickly with big strides, "Zong Zhengchen has entered the palace. I have to go to Shuntian Prefecture now."
Concubine Wei's body was placed there.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Shuntian Prefecture.
This is the important place that handles criminal cases in the capital. A large and solemn mansion is located here. Soldiers in uniform and with swords on their waists stand with their heads held high, like upright poplars, emitting a cold aura that no one can approach from afar.
Majestic, solemn and dark.
At this time, the candlelight was bright.
Qin Ye and Ling Qianyi ran over as fast as they could, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate:
"Shuntian Prefecture is a restricted area, and no one is allowed to trespass! If you have any grievances, beat the drums and hand in your petitions, and the adults will judge them..."
"You are blind, she is Qin Ye and I am Ling Qianyi!"
Without waiting for him to finish, Ling Qianyi pulled Qin Ye and rushed in.
The soldiers then saw who they were. They wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare. They couldn't afford to offend these two ancestors, especially the little marquis, who was the only son of the eldest princess and Marquis Dingguo, a darling they had spoiled since childhood.
"Quick, go and report to the Lord!"
Ling Qianyi led Qin Ye and ran inside. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and turned back:
"By the way, what are we doing in Shuntianfu?"
