Chapter 172: You are suspected of murder
The expression that Pang Xuduan had been maintaining finally collapsed.
He stared with eyes wide open, his eyes bloodshot.
"Princess Ling, please be careful with your words," Pang Xuduan said angrily. "It is my grief that Lingxi has suffered such a misfortune."
"My pain is so deep and profound that I don't need to tell others about it."
"But, the relationship between Lingxi and I cannot be trampled upon by you like this."
"Really?" Xie Yingmian smiled, "But, Pang Junma's behavior doesn't seem like it."
"If the relationship between Pang Jun Ma and Lingxi Princess is really as loving as the outside world says, when he learned that I have the Heart-Protecting Pill that can save lives, Pang Jun Ma's first reaction should be ecstasy, fearing that it would delay treatment, instead of making excuses to prevent me from saving people."
"Pang Junma's actions don't seem to be a sign of deep sorrow or grief. Instead, it seems as if he wishes Lingxi Princess would die sooner."
Xie Yingmian trailed off.
The onlookers also suddenly realized.
"Yeah, Pang Junma's reaction is so weird."
"Pang Junma is making all kinds of excuses. It seems that he really doesn't want Lingxi Princess to come back to life."
"Others try to save a dying horse as if it's still alive, but Pang Junma is different. He doesn't even want to save a living horse."
"Haha, I've told you guys a long time ago that men can't be trusted. They pretend to be affectionate on the surface, but in fact they wish the other person dead. It's all an act for outsiders to see."
"My relative works at the Princess's Mansion. I'll tell you the truth. In fact, Pang Jun Ma already has someone in his heart. His sweetheart lives in the Princess's Mansion. Only when the old one leaves can they make room for the new one."
Xie Yingmian listened to what everyone was saying, and her expression turned cold: "Pang Junma, is that so?"
Pang Xuduan's face was blue and white.
Damn it!
Where do these people come from?
Who asked them to come?
How could those secret messages be known by onlookers?
Pang Xuduan was exposed in public and felt a little embarrassed.
At the moment, he was forced into a situation where he could neither advance nor retreat.
"Princess Ling, there might be some misunderstanding. I didn't mean to stop you from saving Lingxi. I was just stunned by the surprise and didn't react for a moment." Pang Xuduan said, "Princess Ling, please come in. Please save Lingxi."
Xie Yingmian didn't move.
She turned to the people in the carriage and said, "Your Highness Prince Ling, Lord Li, did you hear clearly?"
"Please report to the Emperor the words of Pang Junma, this princess, and the onlookers."
Yu Lingye lifted the curtain.
Fu Mo took Yu Lingye's wheelchair down.
After Yu Lingye got off the car.
Li Huan, an officer from the Six Punishments Department, also stepped forward and said, "Princess Ling, please rest assured. I will report the truth."
After seeing Yu Lingye and Li Huan, Pang Xuduan's face turned pale instantly.
Only then did he realize what Xiao Lingxi had said, that Xie Yingmian was imprisoned because of the Dead Man Ridge case.
The case was under the jurisdiction of the Six Punishments Department.
Under the joint supervision of the prince and the officials of the Six Punishments Department, the imprisoned Xie Yingmian was able to go out for short periods of time.
But the condition for going out is that the prince and the officials must report all the details to the emperor.
That is to say,
Everything Xie Yingmian does and says today will be recorded.
Also recorded in the book are him and everyone who has had contact with Xie Yingmian.
Pang Xuduan became a little flustered when he thought about what he was planning.
This panic lasted for a few breaths, and then he returned to normal.
"Princess Ling, this is truly a misunderstanding," Pang Xuduan said. "I've summoned several imperial physicians, and each one has concluded that Lingxi is beyond help."
"Princess Ling said she could be cured, but I thought you were joking, so I stopped you."
"If you can save Lingxi, I will be grateful."
He took a step back and bowed deeply: "If Lingxi could come back to life, I would be willing to work like a slave to repay you."
Yu Lingye came to Xie Yingmian.
He glanced at Pang Xuduan casually and said, "I think I've seen you somewhere before."
Pang Xuduan bowed slightly and said respectfully, "It is a great honor for me to have the favor of His Highness Prince Ling."
Yu Lingye thought about it seriously.
"Fengbo Pavilion," he said, "I think I've seen you there before."
Hearing the words "Fengbo Pavilion",
Pang Xuduan's already pale face suddenly turned completely bloodless.
"You must have remembered it wrongly." Pang Xuduan was like being struck by lightning, his mind went blank, and his voice trembled. "I have never been to Fengbo Pavilion. Perhaps it was someone who looked like me."
Yu Lingye glanced at Pang Xuduan and said nonchalantly: "Oh, really?"
Cold sweat oozed from Pang Xuduan's back.
The dignity he had worked so hard to maintain was shattered by Yu Lingye's few words.
Fengbo Pavilion!
After so many years, I didn’t expect that there were still surviving witnesses to what happened.
This witness was the famous Prince Ling.
A flash of murderous intent flashed across Pang Xuduan's eyes.
He hid this murderous intent very well and it disappeared in a flash.
Yes.
Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian are both extremely sensitive to murderous intent.
Although it was only a brief moment, they all captured it.
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows slightly.
She was a little curious about what happened at Fengbo Pavilion that year that could make Pang Xuduan's defense so broken.
Li Huan looked at Pang Xuduan deeply.
What a coincidence.
He was responsible for a serial suicide case.
All the deaths in the case appeared to be suicides or accidents.
However, the families of the deceased firmly disagree that they committed suicide.
After many twists and turns, the case was transferred to the Six Criminal Department.
After investigating all the files, Li Huan also agreed that the deceased did not commit suicide, but there were very few clues. All the evidence proved that they died by suicide or accident, and the real murderer left almost no clues.
Li Huan investigated for many years and only found one clue: all the deceased had been to Fengbo Pavilion before their death.
When Yu Lingye first mentioned that he had seen Pang Xuduan at Fengbo Pavilion, he subconsciously linked Pang Xuduan to that case.
Several people have their own thoughts.
Xie Yingmian changed the subject in time: "There must be a reason for the empty words."
"The Longyuan Army case is still under investigation. It's too coincidental that Princess Lingxi, as the sister of General Longyuan, would suddenly suffer misfortune at this time."
"I wanted to save Princess Lingxi, but Pang Junma repeatedly obstructed me. Furthermore, based on the testimony of onlookers, I have reason to suspect Pang Junma of plotting to murder Princess Lingxi."
"Therefore, I request that His Royal Highness Prince Ling and the Six Punishments Department bring the key witness, Princess Lingxi, to a safe place and report this matter truthfully to the Emperor."
Pang Xuduan was still in shock at Fengbo Pavilion.
After hearing what Xie Yingmian said, he almost subconsciously said, "I won't allow it."
After that,
Pang Xuduan realized that his tone was too extreme.
He hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that Lingxi's life is already hanging by a thread. If she continues to suffer like this, she might not be able to hold on."
"Prince Pang had previously been saying that Princess Lingxi couldn't be saved," Xie Yingmian scoffed. "Now that we're in a safe place, he's saying she can't hold on?"
Pang Xuduan said: "That's not what I meant, I just..."
Xie Yingmian: "Pang Junma doesn't need to explain to me."
"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you."
Pang Xuduan's face turned pale: "In broad daylight, Princess Ling is going to rob you?"
