"What did I do!" Zong Zhengli grabbed the secret guard's collar and asked like crazy, "Wasn't I in the patrol camp? I was with Princess Chen! What did I do? Where did I go? Why is there blood on my hands? How could it be!"

"master!"

The secret guard was dizzy and said anxiously,

"You have been in a coma since Princess Chen sent you back yesterday."

Zong Zhengli was stunned.

yesterday……

It's already the second day?!

He looked at his hands covered in blood in shock, his mind went blank and he couldn't remember anything...

Outside the hospital.

When Qin Jiaojiao came over, she saw King Li hurried into another room, and soon there was the sound of splashing water, so loud that it sounded like someone was pouring a bucket over his head.

The prince had been in a coma for a day and a night, so why did he look so panicked when he suddenly woke up?

What happened?

She strode to the door; no one was inside.

He glanced around and made sure that no one was in the courtyard before he walked in quietly. He saw a messy bed and blood, and a dagger on the ground...

.

"What did you say!!"

"Zong Zhengyu... is dead!?"

In the small side courtyard, Qin Ye's voice of astonishment almost broke his throat. He widened his eyes and looked in shock at the Dali Temple Minister standing in front of him.

The Dali Temple Minister made a "silence" gesture and lowered his voice by seven points:

"Princess Chen, this is a matter concerning the royal family. It cannot be spread outside. Be careful of ears."

If word spread that the prince had died in the clan house or had been murdered, it would cause unrest and panic among the people and would also bring criticism to the royal family.

This is not a bright thing.

"It is reported that you met with the eldest prince yesterday. I am investigating this matter under the order of the emperor. I hope Princess Chen can help me."

Very few people knew about the eldest prince's death, and the news was kept very secret.

Qin Ye was extremely surprised.

I didn't expect that the person who kidnapped her yesterday died today, and he was murdered. Who has the courage to go to the clan house and kill people?

She paused for a long while, swallowed the surprise in her throat, and sat down:

"Your Excellency may ask directly, I will certainly tell you everything I know and I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you, Princess Chen." The Dali Temple official bowed and said, "This morning, when the servants delivered food, they opened the door and saw the eldest prince lying in a pool of blood."

"He had more than 20 wounds on his body, each about ten centimeters in diameter. It was initially determined that the murder weapon was a dagger..."

He slowly surveyed the situation.

The eldest prince died a miserable death. He was stabbed like a hornet's nest by the murderer and died with blood all over his body.

Qin Ye told him the news he knew truthfully, including how the eldest prince kidnapped her and Prince Li rescued her yesterday.

About quarter of an hour later.

The Dali Temple Minister had almost finished his questioning and took his men away.

"princess!"

After leaving Dali Temple, Yue'er rushed forward with a nervous heart, holding Qin Ye's hands, a little scared.

"Princess, how could the eldest prince suddenly die when he was fine... We forcibly sent him to the clan residence yesterday. This matter doesn't have anything to do with us, right?"

She is afraid.

Qin Ye's eyes darkened, "No."

First, the eldest prince fled from the clan house and disobeyed the emperor's order.

Secondly, yesterday, they only escorted the eldest prince to the clan house. He was fine at that time. What does it have to do with them?

"But...Princess, I'm afraid that the Dali Temple will come to find you, why don't you find someone else..."

"Don't think too much. We are upright and honest. The Dali Temple will find out the truth."
