The news that Su Liyue killed the manager and abbot of the Royal Nunnery spread throughout the capital like wildfire.
For a time, Su Liyue's reputation, which was not very good to begin with, became even more infamous.
Naturally, Ye Cangming also knew about it.
But Ye Cangming didn't react at all to this.
Seeing that his master had no reaction and was still concentrating on looking at the book in his hand, Linchuan couldn't help but look up at Ye Cangming frequently.
Although, because of what Su Liyue did five years ago, Linchuan really didn't have any good feelings towards her.
But she was still the Princess of the Zhan Palace, wasn't she? If Su Liyue's crimes were proven, wouldn't the reputation of the palace be damaged?
Linchuan was a little anxious, but seeing his master taking official business seriously, he didn't dare to speak.
"Are you free?" Ye Cangming's gaze fell on Linchuan.
Lin Chuan met Ye Cangming's cold gaze, and felt his scalp tingling, "...No..."
"Since you have so much free time, go and clean the toilets in the mansion." Ye Cangming said lightly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
When Linchuan heard this, he was filled with disbelief.
The master...actually asked him to clean the toilet?
Did he hear it wrong?
"Why don't you go quickly?" Ye Cangming's voice became several degrees colder, and his tone did not allow for refusal.
Lin Chuan felt a numbness on his back and he immediately straightened up, "Yes!"
Then he turned around quickly to leave, but after turning around, Linchuan's face looked as bitter as a bitter gourd.
Next time, he won't meddle in other people's business.
Who cares what happens to Su Liyue after she enters Jingzhao Prefecture... enough is enough.
Linchuan left the study with a dejected look on his face.
Ye Cangming seemed unaffected and continued to read the booklet in his hand.
But after a while, he didn't turn the page.
For some reason, Ye Cangming began to feel irritated, and his mind kept recalling the moment when Su Liyue said she wanted to chop off his neck and feed it to the chickens.
Jiu'er had said similar things back then, with the same ferocious expression...
With a "bang", Ye Cangming slammed the book in his hand heavily on the desk.
"This king is truly insane—" He actually compared a woman like Su Liyue with his Jiuer.
Ye Cangming simply stood up.
Just as he was about to leave the kitchen, he saw Linchuan, who should have been in the bathroom, appear with an anxious look on his face.
"Master, something bad has happened—"
…
On the other side, Su Liyue was taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.
When they got there, there were already quite a few onlookers standing at the door, all looking at Su Liyue and pointing and talking.
However, Su Liyue seemed unaffected and was brought into the court with a calm expression.
As soon as she arrived at the court, Su Liyue felt a gaze full of murderous intent.
Following the gaze, Su Liyue met eyes filled with rage and murderous intent.
The owner of these eyes is the current patriarch of the royal family - the prince, the younger brother of the late emperor.
It was also at this time that Su Liyue learned that the identity of Master Huian, the abbess of Puhuaian, was extraordinary.
Master Huian was actually the concubine of the late emperor. As early as when the late emperor was in power, she had seen through the worldly world and went to Puhuai Temple to become a nun.
It was also from that time that Puhuaian became a royal nunnery.
Because the original owner had never had any contact with her when she was in the nunnery, and because of Huijue, she was not liked by the nuns in the nunnery, so she didn't know this.
It would be fine if the victim was an ordinary person, but Huian, one of the deceased, was a concubine, so the royal family attached great importance to it and asked the prince and the eldest princess to supervise the case.
And for some reason, the prince's murderous intention towards her was so strong.
Before Su Liyue could figure it out, the trial began.
The person who reported the case was the elderly man who was being cared for by Huian. He became a monk together with Huian and his Buddhist name was Jingqing.
The witness was a little nun whom Su Liyue was unfamiliar with.
According to Xiao Ni's testimony, he confirmed that he saw with his own eyes that Su Liyue had an argument with Huijue four days ago, and Su Liyue disappeared afterwards.
Yesterday morning, the bodies of Master Huian and Master Huijue were found in the nunnery, and Jingqing reported the case.
Logically speaking, such witness testimony cannot confirm that Su Liyue is the murderer.
Until the body was brought up.
When the bodies were carried up, they were covered with white cloth.
However, when the white cloth on Huijue's body was lifted, revealing the silver hairpin on Huijue's chest, Su Liyue's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Because the hairpin on Huijue's chest was the one she gave to Xiaotuanzi yesterday to rescue him... and now it appeared on the corpse.
Obviously, this is a trap set up specifically for him.
"Oh my god, sister, that's your hairpin. How could you actually kill someone? How could this happen?"
Just then, an exclamation came from the crowd.
Su Liyue looked back and saw Su Jingchu hurriedly coming from the crowd.
Although Su Jingchu's face was full of worry and disbelief at the moment, Su Liyue happened to see the joy that flashed across her eyes.
Obviously, she came to watch the show, and was not afraid to take a kick.
"Su Liyue, with all the witnesses and evidence here, why don't you confess your guilt and accept death?" The prince spoke angrily.
Su Liyue glanced at the prince, then looked at Lord Chu.
"Master Chu, I am wronged."
Because of her identity as Princess Zhan, Su Liyue does not have to kneel.
Because of this, Su Liyue straightened her back at this moment, "Master Chu, the hairpin belonged to me, but I gave it away in the street yesterday. I request an autopsy."
