Hua Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment by this sudden change, and looked at Princess Changle sitting on the horse in astonishment.

"Princess, I..." Hua Yuanzhao looked directly into Princess Changle's eyes and was about to speak when Fuling next to him spoke first.

"Princess, you are wise!" Fuling had been enduring all the way, but finally couldn't help but rush forward.

"My young lady has never thought of hurting Madam Xu! And she has never thought of killing anyone!"

Fuling clenched her fists, her body trembling with tension and fear, and her voice became so shrill and loud that it almost changed its pitch.

"Besides! If my lady wanted to kill someone, why would she use a knife? Wouldn't it be better to poison her? Mmmmm--"

Hua Yuanzhao rushed out of the carriage, covered Fuling's mouth with a dark face, and stopped her from saying the rest of the words.

This silly child, those who know are speaking for her, those who don’t know would think that he is here to trick her!

Instead, the onlookers fell into a strange silence after hearing this, and at the same time, they were discussing it heatedly as if their Ren and Du meridians were opened.

"That's right! If the eldest daughter of the Hua family wanted to kill someone, why would she have to stab him to death herself?"

"That's what I told you! If Miss Hua wants to kill someone, wouldn't it be more convenient to poison her?"

"That's right! With Miss Hua's medical skills, wouldn't it be possible to make Madam Xu die without anyone noticing?"

…

Hua Yuanzhao's thoughts wandered for a moment, and he actually felt that this statement made some sense.

She quickly came to her senses, put down Fuling who was almost suffocated to death in her arms, and replied to Princess Changle without fear.

"I never thought of killing Xu Wanqing!"

Princess Changle glanced at the people who were talking, suddenly snorted, and swung her whip straight at Hua Yuanzhao.

Hua Yuanzhao looked at the long whip with strong wind, and he only had time to push away Fuling who was blocking him. It was too late for him to hide anymore.

Princess Changle's wrist trembled slightly, and the long whip that was whipping Hua Yuanzhao's arm suddenly rolled her up.

Hua Yuanzhao only felt his body tighten, followed by a sense of weightlessness. He was carried into the air by the whip like a leaf, and then fell on Princess Changle's horse.

Princess Changle quickly retracted the whip, put one hand around Hua Yuanzhao's waist to hold the reins, and caught the whip with the other hand.

"In that case, I will personally send you to the Dali Temple for trial!" Princess Changle had a cold expression, and her hand holding the whip turned white from excessive force.

Prime Minister Hua came over from the front of the convoy. When he saw the two men riding together, his already gloomy face suddenly darkened several shades.

"Princess..." Prime Minister Hua spoke with a sour face, his eyes fixed on Hua Yuanzhao.

"Although this evil creature is innocent, he is also one of the defendants in this case. If you take him away like this, I'm afraid it's..." Prime Minister Hua said while organizing his words.

Princess Changle sneered and raised her voice, "Wanqing and I were once acquainted. This time she was unfortunately killed. It's not too much for me to want to sit in on the interrogation, right?"

She gripped the reins tightly, her aura full of majesty and dignity. "As for the eldest daughter of the Hua family..."

Princess Changle said, "Let me personally send him to the Dali Temple! In case some random person pops up to rob us!"

Not far away, on the second floor of the teahouse, Princess Lin'an, who was lying by the window, immediately became furious.

"Who is she calling a cat or a dog?"

Princess Lin'an was so angry that she scratched the wall, grabbed the hem of her skirt and turned around fiercely: "No! I want to go find Sister Hua!"

Hongying rushed forward and hugged Princess Lin'an's arm, closing her eyes and shouting, "No, Princess! Madam said that if you mess around again, she will break your legs!"

Princess Lin'an gritted her teeth and said, "I'll interrupt you if you want!"

Anyway, my mother couldn't bear to hit her! At most, she would just scold her!

Hongying closed her eyes and said, "But the Madam has also said that she will lock you up in the mansion and won't let you out until you get married!"

Princess Lin'an stopped immediately and dared not move. Her mother might not be willing to beat her, but she always felt that her mother was very willing to lock her up!

Seeing Prime Minister Hua turn around and get on the carriage, Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Hua did not force Hua Yuanzhao to take him away, otherwise it would be difficult for her to keep him.

Princess Changle gently pulled the reins and walked forward, walking at the front of the team.

While no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and whispered in Hua Yuanzhao's ear: "Prince Rong sent someone to deliver the message."

Hua Yuan Zhaoben was still feeling very uneasy, but when he suddenly heard these words, he calmed down.

"As you expected, Zhu'er was threatened by Aunt Su because her lover was controlled." Princess Changle frowned, "It's a pity that Rong Shizi arrived too late, and the other party had already been silenced."

Zhu'er grew up with Xu Wanqing, and without sufficient strong evidence, it is hard to believe that Zhu'er would betray Xu Wanqing.

Now those who knew the truth were silenced, and no one could appear in court to testify for Hua Yuanzhao and prove that it was Aunt Su who was behind all this.

Hua Yuanzhao sighed lightly. This matter was inspired by Fuling.

From the information she had obtained, she discovered that Zhu'er was too determined to commit suicide and it did not seem like she was doing it simply for money, so she suspected that someone had captured her family and threatened her to do so.

But Fuling, who has always been timid, was the first to stand up and say that this guess was unlikely.

In scholarly families like the Xu family, the maids around the young ladies are basically chosen from among the housewives of similar age.

For a servant like this, the lives of his entire family are in the hands of the mansion, and he grew up with the young lady, so it is naturally not easy for him to have any rebellious thoughts.

Just as Fuling thought, Zhuer's father, brother and mother all worked in the Xu Mansion, and Aunt Su couldn't reach out to them for a long time.

Excluding family members, the only person who could control Zhu'er is the most unlikely lover.

Princess Changle shook her head, feeling that it was not worth it for Xu Wanqing.

"Wanqing said before that she would let Zhu'er get married after some time." Princess Changle gritted her teeth and said, "This is what she did to Wanqing!"

After being threatened, he didn't know how to find his master to explain the situation and ask for help, but secretly drugged his master! And he even lost his life!

What's the difference between a maid who only has her lover in her mind and an ungrateful person!

In the Fourteenth Prince's Palace, Jin Yan hurried to the small pavilion by the lake and knelt down to pay respect to his master.

Gu Ci was originally sitting at the stone table sipping tea nonchalantly, but suddenly his nostrils opened and closed, and his brows slightly furrowed.

He sniffed the faint smell of blood in the air and turned his head to look at Jin Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Are you hurt?" Gu Ci asked with a casual and indifferent attitude.

"Yes." Jin Yan lowered his head and said, "After I killed Mr. Li, I was half a step late and was seen by Prince Rong who came rushing over."

This injury was also left when getting rid of Rong Xiu.

The Li Sheng he mentioned was Zhu'er's lover. Due to his poor family background, he was supported by the Xu family. After failing the imperial examination, he stayed in the capital and somehow met Zhu'er.

"It took me some time to get rid of the pursuit, so I am late in reporting. Please forgive me, my lord." Jin Yan said with his head lowered, with a look of loss.

Gu Ci glanced at Jin Yan and suddenly sneered.

"This Rong Xiu is just a trouble. If he hadn't been in the way, our Miss Hua would have left the capital long ago."
