"Master Huian is not..."
Someone exclaimed, but considering the presence of the prince, he swallowed the rest of his words.
At this moment, everyone looked at Master Huian in shock, so except for Su Liyue and Ye Cangming, no one noticed the panic in Jingqing's eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, Master Huian walked to the center of the hall.
Although her face was a little pale at this time, her face was full of peace, and it was obvious that she was someone who was immersed in Buddhism all day long.
Even when looking at Jingqing, there was no excessive emotion in Master Huian's eyes, just calm as always.
But despite this, there was still an unignorable tension in Jingqing's eyes.
When Prince Zong followed Huian's nun's gaze to Jingqing, he also saw the tension in Jingqing's eyes. For a moment, Prince Zong's face turned ugly.
Could it be... impossible...
The expression on the prince's face was hard to describe.
At this moment, Hui'an spoke, his tone as calm as ever, "Jingqing, I usually treat you well, I want to know why."
When Hui'an said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Although Su Liyue pointed out Jingqing, indicating that Jingqing was also a major suspect, everyone just thought that Su Liyue was trying to stir up trouble.
However, when Hui'an said this, it was like a hammer, which surprised everyone.
After all, everyone knows that Jingqing was Huian's personal maid, who accompanied Huian as she grew up, entered the palace with Huian, and even became a monk together in the end. After Huian was "assigned" the identity of abbot, Jingqing helped Huian take care of everything in the temple, so that Huian, the abbot, could ignore worldly affairs.
But how could such a loyal servant become a 'murderer'?
To be honest, except for Su Liyue and Ye Cangming, everyone else present was somewhat unable to accept it.
However, Su Liyue looked calm at this time, because she had anticipated this result when she visited Huian at the prince's mansion at night.
When she took the pulse of Master Huian, she found that her pulse was very weak, but she still retained a trace of breath, which meant that the murderer did not want Master Huian to die.
It was a killing situation, but no one was wanted to die. This made Su Liyue's first reaction be that the other party was an acquaintance.
Then, when she came down from the beam, she looked at Master Huian again and found that Master Huian's condition seemed to have changed, and the poisonous insects in her body seemed to be agitated.
During this period, only Master Jingqing came, which made it difficult for Su Liyue not to suspect that Master Jingqing was up to something.
Of course, the reason why Su Liyue had such doubts was mainly because of the appearance of Master Jingqing. She realized that something was wrong.
There was a familiar smell about Master Jingqing.
That's the smell that she would smell every time she encountered a poisonous insect. Although the smell was not strong, she could definitely smell it.
Later, when she was suppressing the poisonous insect for Master Huian, she discovered something unusual.
Master Huian's brain seemed to be particularly active.
So, she had a guess: although Master Huian was in a coma, she was actually conscious and could feel everything outside?
So, during that process, she said something to Master Huian, and then her guess was confirmed.
As for why she had never smelled that scent on Master Jingqing before?
She thought that perhaps because she had been in the nunnery for a long time and was surrounded by the scent of sandalwood, the smell was covered up.
In the Prince's Mansion, Master Huian was far away from the environment filled with the scent of sandalwood, so the smell was naturally more noticeable.
Jingqing listened to Master Huian's accusations. The panic on her face at the beginning turned into calmness in the end. She lowered her head and said nothing, looking as if she had nothing to say.
When Huian saw this, a trace of heartache finally appeared in his eyes.
"I felt strange last time because you were the only one who got close to me... I almost died last time because of you, right?"
Master Huian's words once again caused an uproar in the audience.
Last time, wasn’t that the incident where Master Huian escaped death?
The reason why this matter is now well-known is that the prince of the royal family has been following up on the case and urging it to be closed. As a result, the news spread more and more widely. It can even be said that the heat of this matter has never subsided in the capital, so it has gradually become well-known.
But, this matter was actually done by Master Jingqing?
Not to mention the onlookers, even Lord Chu Tianhe was shocked at this moment.
No wonder he couldn't find the murderer. If the murderer was Jing Qing... that would be understandable.
After all, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, Jingqing is a very righteous and loyal person. It can be said that even if Chu Tianhe suspects everyone, he will never suspect Master Jingqing.
Jingqing looked at Master Hui'an in shock, "When did you know that?"
She always thought that she had done everything perfectly.
Master Hui'an looked at Jingqing and said, "I knew it when I woke up, but I just couldn't figure it out. You must know how we've gotten along over the years. To me, you're my best friend, but I didn't know you would actually attack me."
When saying this, Hui'an's eyes were full of pain.
After all, Jingqing is the one who has been with her for most of her life, the one who has been by her side through every choice and every time she has suffered.
She didn't want to believe that Jingqing had been fake to her all these years.
So, even though she had doubts, she never said them out loud, and even pretended that nothing had happened.
