"Brother Crown Prince, my brother would never do such a thing. You and the Crown Princess both think my brother did it, but do you have any evidence?
Don't tell me the assassin left behind a dagger or sword with the name of Prince Li's Mansion engraved on it. If such evidence can be used as evidence, then this Ministry of Justice is full of wrongful convictions." Qianye Manqiao took the initiative.
But looking at Murong Xiao's eyes that almost burned her, the more she looked at them, the more she wanted to dig her eyes out. Why did she always feel inferior to this woman?
"Sister-in-law, Crown Princess, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?" Qian Ye Manqiao asked unhappily.
Murong Xiao shook his head and said, "Princess Manqiao is indeed right, but there is no need to say this, because we are not as stupid as you think."
The matchmaker sent by Qian Ye Ze last night did not help them find any clues. Later in the morning, because the matchmaker could not stand the fright, and was indeed frightened by Murong Xiao's words when she was at the limit of torture last night, after she told the truth, they realized that the bellyband on the matchmaker's body was actually made of flowing cloud brocade.
This Liuyun brocade was given to Weiyuan General Chai Jing's Mansion by the Emperor out of joy after he made military achievements. The Emperor gave the only Liuyun brocade in the entire South Vietnam to Weiyuan General's Mansion.
However, General Weiyuan had only one daughter, Chai Luochen, the wife of Qian Yeyao, so he gave this piece of Liuyun brocade to his daughter at that time.
In order to avoid the failure of the operation, Qian Ye Ze sent people to Prince Li's mansion shortly after the arranged marriage to steal a small piece of Princess Li's Liuyun brocade, so that he could put the blame on Qian Ye Yao if the operation failed.
And since Qian Yeyao was so annoying, Murong Xiao didn't mind letting him eat a big fly in his mouth.
"You are indeed correct. The killer's murder weapon did not contain anything from Prince Li's palace."
"Then how could the Crown Princess be so sure that the assassin was my brother's man? Did she say so herself?"
"She didn't say that."
"Princess, as the saying goes, to catch the thief, take the dirty stuff. Since the killer hasn't said anything, how can you be sure that this was done by me?"
"Because when the killer died, there was a piece of underwear that caught my attention. I always have a sharp eye for good things, so I had that underwear appraised, and the material is Liuyunjin. Your Highness, Prince Li, you are not unaware of what Liuyunjin is, right?"
After hearing Murong Xiao's words, Qian Yeyao's face suddenly turned pale.
This Liuyun brocade was a gift from his father-in-law to his princess. It was the only one in all of Nanyue. Imperial gifts shouldn't be given away casually, and now it was in the possession of a killer. And damn, the killer was dead!
"Please understand, Your Highness!" Qian Yeyao immediately clasped his fists towards Qian Yeming, his eyes filled with anxiety. "I absolutely did not send anyone to do such a treasonous act against Your Highness yesterday! This is definitely a frame-up!"
Seeing that Qian Yeming had no intention of speaking or listening to his explanation, Qian Yeyao said to Murong Xiao again, "Crown Princess, this is absolutely a frame-up!"
"Oh?" Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "So it was a frame-up? But... who is so annoying that they would go to your Prince Li's mansion to steal things, make underwear for the killer, and then let her kill people, and then we accidentally discovered it?
You know, this Liuyun brocade is rare and there is only one piece in Nanyue, so many people, including the noble concubines in the palace, may not know it.
