Yan Shaobai's face turned red and white, he looked pale and his body was trembling.

"You think you have concealed the truth perfectly, but your actions have already been seen by others. Tell me, who is the buyer of this dead thing?" I want to see who is plotting to harm me.

Yan Shaobai was extremely terrified. He never expected that one day someone would so calmly question him in public.

"Yes, I sold the medicine to that person." Yan Shaobai admitted weakly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanluo quickly asked, "Who was it? Who went to look for the medicine you bought? If you tell the truth, I can ask the prince to spare your life."

"Yes... uh..." The change happened in an instant. Yan Shaobai was about to speak, but his throat seemed to be strangled and he couldn't utter a word. After struggling hard for a few times, he foamed at the mouth and stopped moving.

Lu Yanluo was shocked. Before she could go forward to check, the servant who came with Yan Shaobai shouted loudly: "Murder! Princess Ye killed someone! Someone come quickly!"

The servant shouted and attracted everyone at the banquet.

Everyone pushed the door open and entered the room, and were shocked to see the situation inside. They saw Yan Shaobai, the chief minister of the Dali Temple, lying on the ground with a purple face, his life or death unknown.

A curious person came forward to check, and was immediately frightened and sweating coldly, and said in shock: "He's dead! Lord Yan... has died..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Yanluo. When Yan Shaobai died, Lu Yanluo was the only outsider in the room. Everyone thought: It's hard to doubt.

The servant of the Yan family knelt in front of Madam Yan Shaobai and shouted at the top of his lungs, pointing directly at Lu Yanluo: "Madam, it was Princess Ye who killed the master!"

Mrs. Yan was extremely regretful at this moment. She shouldn't have listened to Lu Yanluo's words for a moment, allowing her to take advantage of the opportunity and kill her man.

"You! Why do you want to harm my master? He has no grudge against you, Princess Ye!" Madam Yan's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Lu Yanluo, wishing she could tear her to pieces and bury her with Yan Shaobai.

Lu Yanluo's face was gloomy. She had realized that she was framed: "It was not me who killed Lord Yan. The murderer was someone else."

"Quibbling! My master was alone here with you before he died. You are not the murderer, so tell me who the murderer is? I am still wondering why you would take the initiative to chat with us, as you are always so aloof. I never thought that you came here with a purpose today, just to kill my husband! This is intolerable, come on, take Princess Ye to the Dali Temple, I want justice for my husband!"

The servant of the Yan family was about to attack Lu Yanluo, but Chu Xuan took the lead and stopped them: "Mrs. Yan, please be patient. This matter needs to be investigated carefully and we cannot make a final conclusion." Then he looked at Lu Yanluo and asked: "A Luo, do you know what's going on?"

Lu Yanluo shook her head: "While we were talking, Lord Yan suddenly fell to the ground and soon died. Everything happened so fast that I didn't have time to figure it out. Now it seems that we can only perform an autopsy to see how Lord Yan died."

Because the incident happened in the residence of the Minister of Works, in order to avoid suspicion, Minister of Works Lin Fangle had to find a coroner to perform an autopsy to avoid getting himself into trouble.

The coroner examined the body and concluded, "This man died of poisoning. The poison was a deadly poison, Hedinghong."

This undoubtedly pointed to Lu Yanluo again. She was the only one present at the time, and she was the only one who had the opportunity to poison Yan Shaobai.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo stepped forward and searched the corpse for a while. Finally, she found a clue at the back of the neck. It was an extremely thin silver needle that had been embedded in the flesh. If it weren't for a red dot on the outside, this silver needle would have been difficult to find.

"Yan Shaobai was poisoned because someone inserted a poisonous silver needle into his body. I was talking to Lord Yan at the time, about three meters away, and I had no chance to insert the silver needle into his body."

Madam Yan was very excited. She didn't listen to Lu Yanluo's explanation at all. She shouted, "Don't try to quibble. You were the only one present at the time. Who else could have had the chance to do it?"

Everyone present was talking about it.

"Princess Ye is too arrogant. How can she commit a crime in the Shangshu Mansion? She really doesn't take the Shangshu seriously."

"Who wouldn't say it? Ever since returning from the Northern Frontier, the Night Palace has been able to dominate the capital!"

Lu Yanluo's face was full of black lines and she kept complaining. She originally came here to interrogate others, but she didn't expect that in the end she would become the target of everyone's interrogation. It really is true that man proposes, God disposes.

[What should I do? How about I go to the Dali Temple to find out the reason? ]

[Besides me, the only people present at the scene were Yan Shaobai and that servant. Could it be that the murderer was the servant of the Yan family? ]

Chu Xuan turned around, held Lu Yanluo's hand in a comforting manner, and squeezed it: "It's okay, I believe you. If you want to investigate, you can't just investigate you. There were also the servants of the Yan family and the servants of the Shangshufang who were serving outside. They all need to be investigated."

Madam Yan struggled and said angrily, "The Night King is going too far. How can he turn black into white when it is a done deal? Although my husband is not as noble as the prince, he is also an official appointed by the court. He died tragically here today, and the murderer is right in front of me. No matter what, I will seek justice for my tragically dead husband!"

Seeing this, the servant of the Yan family cried and said, "I am a servant of the Yan family. How could I harm the master of the family? I was standing outside guarding the door at that time and had no contact with my master. At that time, Princess Ye and my master had an argument in the house for some reason. I heard it clearly outside. It was simply that the princess was angry and killed my master."

Seeing that all the evidence pointed to her, Lu Yanluo felt helpless and could only give up temporarily, but she could not go to the Dali Temple no matter what.

Chu Xuan also understood what he meant, and said solemnly: "I promise to give an explanation to the Yan family and the minister for what happened today, but you can't take the princess away. I will take her back to the palace and keep her under strict supervision until the truth comes out. If it is really the princess who did it, I will personally send her to the Dali Temple to confess her crime. How do you think?"

"This..." The Minister of Works was a little embarrassed. After all, the case happened in his own house. If something really went wrong, he would inevitably be affected.

"Your Highness, I think it would be better to keep the princess in my house temporarily, so that others will not accuse you of favoritism and corruption. When the truth comes out and the princess is innocent, Your Highness can take her away. Your Highness, rest assured, I will ensure the princess's safety."

Chu Xuan turned sideways and looked at Lu Yanluo, waiting for her decision. If she wanted to leave, he would definitely take her away no matter what happened today.

Lu Yanluo took a few steps forward and nodded gently: "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Your Majesty. Don't worry."

Chu Xuan nodded and agreed, then left with his men. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the servant and the corpse away.
