Chapter 224 I swear
"Just relying on this, you want to dispel my doubts? It's not enough."
Ling Fengxun's words made Ling Changyue's face pale. He raised his eyes and said, "All the people who can be mobilized around my nephew are under the control of Uncle Huang, and there is no possibility of assassination."
Ling Fengxun deliberately made things difficult for him: "I can't be sure that you don't have other subordinates."
Ling Changyue: ""
He felt that he was being targeted.
The evidence is conclusive!
The anger in his eyes was surging, and it was about to break through his reason.
No matter how much time has passed, An Yunxi's marriage to his uncle is still a fact that Ling Changyue cannot accept.
Obviously, she is the person he has liked since childhood and his fiancée, but when he wakes up, she has become his aunt.
Ling Changyue gritted his teeth, maintaining his original obedient posture and bowing his head: "Uncle, I know that you are worried about the safety of the princess, and you may have misunderstood me in a moment of anxiety, but I swear on the honor of the royal family that if this matter is related to me, I am willing to be punished by heaven and have a bad end! I hope uncle will understand."
Even the method of swearing was used. It seems that Ling Changyue was really desperate.
The other two were not to be outdone.
Ling Changxi immediately raised his hand.
"Uncle, I also swear to heaven that I have no intention of hurting the princess, otherwise I will be struck by lightning!"
"Me too, me too!"
Ling Changyu also hurriedly raised his hand like his second brother.
All three princes swore honestly, with nervous expressions on their faces.
Ling Fengxun's eyes swept over the three people.
He couldn't detect anything on their faces.
However, there was no doubt that the assassin was a royal assassin.
He lowered his eyes and lightly swept his gaze over the faces of the second prince and the third prince. When they were seen, they tensed their bodies, like prey targeted by beasts.
Beads of sweat dripped from Ling Changxi's forehead.
Suddenly, Eunuch Xu came in at the door to report.
"Your Highness, we found some clues from those corpses."
He walked in from outside and brought in a letter.
In it was the result of the investigation by Ling Fengxun's men in the past half day.
He opened it and took a look. The other people in the room didn't even dare to breathe.
Eunuch Xu couldn't help but glance at the equally honest little emperor. The color in his eyes flickered slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
Just a moment later.
Ling Fengxun suddenly read out a person's name.
"Ling Changxi!"
The second prince felt his whole body stiffen for a moment.
"My nephew is here."
He lowered his head with a humble attitude.
However, Ling Fengxun's voice became icy cold, making him shudder involuntarily: "Why did you send someone to assassinate my princess?"
Ling Changxi's face showed an expression of devastation.
He felt that the two brothers beside him were looking at him.
Everyone in the hall stared at him, causing his originally calm face to become a little unsteady.
"Uncle Huang, what are you talking about?"
His face was full of doubts. Even if he died, he should die with a clear mind!
Ling Feng Huang threw the letter in front of him. Ling Changxi crawled forward nervously and took a few steps to read the contents clearly.
It was found in the secret letter that the leader of the dead soldiers had appeared in the Chu family's mansion.
This was too absurd!
However, Ling Changxi's fingers were a little stiff, and even the smallest movement was very difficult.
He was nervous and a little worried .
Thinking of what his mother had said before, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Could it be that his mother wanted him to ascend the throne, so she attacked An Yunxi, thinking that as long as she could capture An Yunxi, she could completely control Ling Fengxun?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was really possible.
Therefore, he was a little unsure when he said that he was wronged.
"Uncle Xuan, Changxi has no intention of betraying you, and she will definitely not do anything to hurt the princess. Please allow me to go back and investigate carefully. If someone really did this behind my back, I will definitely not let those people go, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
His mind was buzzing.
His brain even turned into a paste in an instant.
Ling Fengxun asked coldly, "If this matter was planned by your mother, would you kill your own relatives for the sake of justice?"
These words made the blood on Ling Changxi's face fade.
He just lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, "This king understands what you mean, but if you touch my people, you must be prepared to pay ten times or a hundred times the price, understand?"
Ling Changxi felt as if the sky had fallen.
He tried hard to survive in the struggle for imperial power, but he couldn't escape the result.
"Yes, Changxi understands, please give Changxi three days, and after three days, Changxi will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly, "Go."
Ling Changyue breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that this shit pot would be put on his head.
Who on earth had the guts to send someone to assassinate An Yunxi in the capital?
Could it really be Ling Changxi?
After Ling Changxi said goodbye to the Yangxin Palace, he went to the Imperial Concubine's Palace without any hesitation.
Today, the news of An Yunxi's assassination had already spread throughout the capital.
The Imperial Concubine naturally knew about this news.
She was removing her make-up and washing her face in front of the mirror. Now that the harem was empty and without the sisters who used to fight with her, she felt quite bored. All
she could do all day was accompany the Queen Mother, or take a walk by the gardens and lakes that she had long been tired of.
She lowered her eyes and sighed, and suddenly heard someone outside the door reporting: "Your Highness, Prince Xi wants to see you!"
After the death of the previous emperor, several princes were made kings.
When she heard that her son was coming, Concubine Chu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Quick, let Chang Xi in!"
She quickly stood up and straightened the wrinkles on her skirt to make herself look more respectable.
Concubine Chu was all smiles and even went to the door to greet them personally, but she saw Ling Changxi's face was extremely gloomy as she strode into the room.
Before Concubine Chu could say anything, she directly opened her mouth and shouted angrily to the maids and nannies beside her: "Get out!"
Seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Xi was in a bad mood, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and left.
"What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Who has offended you?" Concubine Chu looked puzzled, pulled him to sit on a chair, and poured him a cup of tea to calm him down.
But Ling Changxi didn't drink it.
She looked at Concubine Chu with dim eyes.
"Mother, tell me the truth, did you and the Chu family arrange someone to assassinate the princess?"
