They each had their own opinions, some believed and some doubted.

The emperor had a gloomy face, staring at the bloody knife, his cloudy eyes were extremely gloomy, he looked up at Zong Zhengchen who was standing there, and said coldly:

"explain!"

Although the crown prince has been deposed, Zong Zhengyu is still a prince.

How could a prince be killed casually?

Zong Zhengchen glanced at the murder weapon and uttered two words from his thin lips:

"frame."

He disdains to attack the weak. If he wanted Zong Zhengyu's life, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

He sneered, "Last year's border battle, the battle against bandits, the epidemic in Dongning City during the southern tour, if I really cared about it, would my brother be alive today? Father should understand this."

The Emperor clasped his hands.

He knew King Chen's character.

Over the years, Zong Zhengyu has been framing and provoking him openly and covertly. If he really wanted to do something serious, he would not use such a despicable method of assassination.

However, the murder weapon was found in Prince Chen's Mansion. If he doesn't find out the real culprit and the facts, how can he explain to his ancestors?

"Seventh brother, of course we believe you. We are a family. We have loved each other since we were young. We are as close as brothers. It is impossible for us to kill each other."

Prince Jue came forward and patted Zong Zhengchen on the shoulder, his voice slightly deep,

"But, I heard... that the murder weapon was found in your princess's room..."

A few words suddenly made the atmosphere weird.

"Oh, yes." Prince Feng tapped his forehead, "I learned from the Dali Temple that my eldest brother escaped from the clan residence without permission yesterday, and it was Princess Chen who took him back."

"Could it be that they had some conflict, and Princess Chen got angry and killed my brother?"

"Zong Zhengfeng!"

The man suddenly raised his eyes, his eagle-like black eyes shot directly at King Feng, extremely sharp, and the oppressive aura pressed down like a mountain range collapsing.

"If you dare to slander Qin Ye again, I don't mind being branded as a brother-killer."

The extremely cold voice seemed to penetrate deep into the soul.

King Feng felt a chill on his back, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were choked. His aura was like a basin of water poured down, gradually weakening...

The atmosphere was eerily cold.

King Jue rolled his eyes and said jokingly with a smile: "Okay, okay, we are all brothers. If we quarrel, won't the murderer succeed?"

"However, since the murder weapon was found in Princess Chen's room, should we summon Princess Chen to the palace for questioning?"

"No need." Zong Zhengchen said coldly, "Three days, I will investigate."

The king smiled:

"Seventh brother used to be so cold and indifferent, I thought you would never get married. I didn't expect Qin Ye to be so charming and win the heart of Seventh brother. However, isn't Seventh brother's shielding too obvious? Hahaha!"

Although the words seemed to be spoken in a joking manner, they emphasized the word "sheltering".

The implication is: Qin Ye is the murderer.

Zong Zhengchen looked at him coldly, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he was about to step forward.

"Seventh brother!" Prince An immediately grabbed him.

"Calm down!" Prince Ding also called out to him.

“Father, look at my seventh brother. He is in a terrible situation. Our eldest brother is dead and we are all very worried, but he is trying to be disloyal. Who is more important…” Prince Jue looked at the emperor with an innocent face, but his words had a different meaning.

The emperor had a stern face, glanced at Zong Zhengchen, and said in a deep voice:

"Since the murder weapon is in Qin Ye's house, we have to investigate. How can we find out the truth if we don't investigate?"

How could a prince of a country die in such an unclear manner?

"Someone, tell Qin Ye to come into the palace!"
