With a cold voice, she forcibly twisted Qin Jiaojiao's hair and dragged her out.

"Ah! Let me go!"

Qin Jiaojiao burst into tears in pain, her hair felt like it was being pulled out alive, she slapped Qin Ye anxiously with her hands, and rolled on the ground, looking completely disgraceful.

"Qin Ye!"

"Do you think I will be polite to you?" Qin Ye pulled her hair hard and dragged her half a meter, as if he was dragging a piece of waste.

Killing the prince is a crime that will surely lead to death.

Qin Jiaojiao wanted to kill her, could she bear it?

"This is Li Wang Mansion, you can't touch me!"

"Let me go!"

"ah!!"

Qin Jiaojiao was dragged to the door, looking extremely miserable. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Someone! Someone come quickly! This woman is crazy! She's crazy!"

"Qin Ye!"

Outside the courtyard, Zong Zhengli rushed over after hearing the noise, and was stunned when he saw this scene.

“Your Highness, Your Highness, help me!” Qin Jiaojiao stretched out her hands, her eyes red as she cried, “Qin Ye broke into Prince Li’s mansion and said that I threw the murder weapon on her bed, blaming her for the murder of the eldest prince! I know nothing at all!”

Zong Zhengli's whole body trembled violently, and his face turned pale.

The murder weapon!

dagger!

Wasn’t that thing in his room? How did it end up in Prince Chen’s mansion?

Looking at Qin Jiaojiao's screaming, he suddenly understood something... She did it...

She knows...

If he favors Qin Ye and deals with Qin Jiaojiao, Qin Jiaojiao will be so angry that she will definitely give him away.

He has endured humiliation for twenty years and has still not been able to properly take care of his mother. He cannot let his mother die before him.

At this moment, he was selfish...

In just a few seconds, Zong Zhengli held his breath, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Seeing Qin Ye's angry look, he suddenly rushed forward and rescued Qin Jiaojiao from her hands:

"Princess Chen, please calm down. Maybe there is a misunderstanding!"

"Jiaojiao was at home last night and did not leave. She couldn't be the murderer of my eldest brother!"

Qin Ye couldn't have been wrong.

The murder weapon was placed by Qin Jiaojiao.

She said confidently: "She may not be the murderer, but she must know who the murderer is, or she must be related to the murderer!"

Now that Zong Zhengchen has been brought into the palace, he has never done such a thing, so it is impossible for him to take the blame.

He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Jiaojiao coldly, resisting the urge to take action:

"Tell me! Who told you to do this?"

Qin Jiaojiao shrank her neck in fear, grabbed the corner of Zong Zhengli's clothes with her small hands, hid behind him, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything. Princess Chen insisted it was me as soon as she arrived. I, I didn't, I really didn't... You have to make the decision for me, Your Majesty..."

She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Zong Zhengli looked calm, raised his hand to protect Qin Jiaojiao, looked at Qin Ye, and said in a deep voice:

"The person who killed my eldest brother must have had some extraordinary means. If the murderer could be discovered so easily, it would be impossible for him to have killed my eldest brother."

"Jiaojiao was with me last night. I was able to testify for her. Could it be that Princess Chen... thought I would lie and protect the real murderer?"

Qin Ye choked.

Having known King Li for such a long time, I have come to realize that his character is trustworthy enough.

He has a mild temper, is not competitive, has a kind personality, treats her very well, and they have a very good relationship.

He always guided her and helped her. He saved Yunying and also saved her. He was like a gentle brother next door.

Qin Ye pursed his lips:

"Of course I believe you...but this is about...I'm sorry, maybe I'm too sensitive. Since Princess Li was with you last night, I won't ask any more questions."
