Garden.
The undercurrent of the wine exchange had already dispersed. At this moment, the banquet had reached its climax, and everyone was drinking to their hearts' content.
The banquet was held to celebrate the recovery of Prince Qin, but no one dared to toast the cold Prince Qin. It didn't matter, since there were no Prince Qin or Princess Qin, but the first few people to toast the Princess Qin were all shot by the cold eyes of the Prince Qin. When the others saw this, they tactfully did not disturb the couple. Therefore, as their masters, Murong Ling and Li Cangmin were actually the most relaxed of people.
Of course, there had never been a lack of people with tiger whiskers in this world, Prince Zhao Li Fuchen was one of them. He personally poured a cup of wine and raised his cup towards Li Cangmin, "Royal Brother, today is a day of celebration.
Li Cangmin only glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. However, Li Fuchen did not get angry, and downed the entire cup of wine in one gulp. As expected of a first-class bamboo leaf cyan, the texture was soft, and the aftertaste was long. Not to mention, there was going to be a good show later.
He looked at Murong Ling and Li Cangmin who were still completely unaware, and meaningfully, his lips raised into a smile.
Just then, Li Cangmin suddenly frowned. Murong Ling looked at him in confusion, but before she could ask, she saw the Palace Chief Zhang Mingde rushing over, and said in a low voice, "My prince, my princess, something bad has happened."
Murong Ling had a premonition that what Zhang Mingde was about to say was related to Prince Qin's earlier frown. Looking at the two's expressions, the situation was probably not small.
Something happened when she wasn't paying attention.
Zhang Mingde moved closer and said in a low voice, "Princess, Prince Consort Ma, Xu Shilong is dead."
Murong Ling's expression changed as sshe looked towards Princess Chengping. Seeing her puzzled expression, he immediately retracted her gaze, and looked at Zhang Mingde with a heavy gaze.
She looked towards Li Cangmin, only after seeing him nod his head almost imperceptibly did she finally confess to the rest of the people in the seating area, and then left with Zhang Mingde.
"Who was the first to find the body of Prince Consort?"
Zhang Mingde followed behind, carefully considering his words. "Reporting to the wangfei, I'm a vile person."
The place where Xu Shilong died was not too far away from the latrine, as he was dragged into a bush by someone. The most important thing was that the state of his death clearly looked like he had been poisoned, and she was not unfamiliar with this poison.
There was only one bottle of her Mind Enchantment Liquid.
"Who's been to the latrine?"
Zhang Mingde looked troubled, "There are too many guests here today. All of the mansion's servants are waiting on us in the garden, so they didn't notice anything happening in the latrine."
While they were talking, the two people had already arrived at the scene of the crime. Xu Shilong was already lying in the shrubbery, his eyes were green and black, his lips were purple, and his life had already ended. Murong Ling asked about the flowers and plants beside the corpse. Everyone said that he was killed by someone, but they did not know who it was.
From this, it could be seen that the people who killed him were not from the Prince's Mansion.
They were not very intelligent and could only provide some simple information. They could not describe the murderer's appearance at all. They could only ask, "If I bring him here, will you be able to recognize him?"
"Sure, I can tell by looking at her. She's wearing white, and she's very pretty."
"Female?"
"Yes, the woman did." One of the shrubs said, "The man dragged the body in."
"Eh, it's this man, the man beside you!"
The shrubbery shrieked excitedly as Murong Ling concentrated on looking at Zhang Mingde who was beside them. Zhang Mingde was completely unconscious as he opened up Xu Shilong's hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle that was tightly holding onto the bottom of the bottle. The bottom of the bottle was still branded with the Prince Qin Palace's brand, which was the container that she gave to Godly Doctor Jiang yesterday.
"Princess, look, isn't this your bottle?"
His surprised mood had been acted out just in time, and even his voice had unconsciously grown louder, allowing the people following him to hear everything clearly. "Murong Ling, you actually dared to scheme and murder this princess' Prince Consort!"
She was not alone, she had Prince Zhao by her side.
"Cheng Ping asked about Prince Consort's whereabouts, and I told him that Prince Consort had gone to the latrine. She was worried, so she came looking for him, but she didn't expect this sort of thing to happen." Li Fuchen looked a little embarrassed as he explained. His gaze shifted and landed on Xu Shilong's face, "Hey, why is the Prince Consort's poison so similar to the poison in the Godly Doctor Jiang?
Although she had a strong personality, she had a very deep affection for Prince Consort Ma. Now that he suddenly died, she felt grief in her heart, "Murong Ling, my Prince Consort has no enmity with you, why do you want to harm him? Could it be that it is to take revenge on our family? Even though Marquis Yong has sent spies to the Prince Qin Palace, but have you ever sent anyone to the entire capital? You have already sent the person back dead, and you're still not willing to let this go easily.
"I didn't kill him. I was at the banquet just now, so I didn't have the chance to kill him. "
Murong Ling frowned as she explained, her gaze not leaving Xu Shilong's body for a moment. She confirmed that it was the poison of the Divine Awakening Fluid, and the problem could only lie in the bottle that she used yesterday.
There was only one possibility for the poison that should have been given to Jiang Mingzhong to appear in the Duke Palaces once again. Since Jiang Mingzhong had not finished drinking the poison the day before, the only thing that was most likely to be obtained was the Prince Zhao that withdrew the corpse.
She suddenly looked at the grieving Prince Zhao. He was the one who planned all of this!
"You don't need to kill people yourself. This is your territory. There are many slaves here, and any one of them can poison my Prince Consort." Princess Chengping roared, "I will make you pay with your life!"
She put down Xu Shilong's corpse and pounced towards Murong Ling, who frowned, and pressed her acupoint, "Calm down, this concubine already knows who the murderer is. The one who killed the Prince Consort is not someone from the Prince's Mansion, but the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor Jiang, Jiang Yunyin. "
The woman dressed in white could only be Jiang Yunyin, who had made a trip to the Prince Zhao Palace yesterday. In addition to her grandfather's death, being used by Li Fuchen was already something to be taken for granted.
The murderer was not hard to guess, and Li Fuchen did not hope for Murong Ling not to guess, but so what? So what if he guessed, he had already killed her, without any witnesses. Even if she pointed it out, it would only be a scapegoat in the eyes of others.
As expected, the Princess Chengping didn't believe him at all, "Murong Ling, you forced her grandfather to his death, and now you want to cut the grass and root out the grass and use me as a spear. I'm telling you, there's no way!"
Princess Chengping was already prejudiced, she recognized that Murong Ling was the culprit and was unwilling to let go no matter what, causing Murong Ling to become impatient. Suddenly, her face changed, with a few leaps, she disappeared in front of the three people in the blink of an eye.
What was going on? Was he trying to run away out of guilt?
