Chapter 525 Where to Place Your Highness



That sounds fine.

Qiao Yue interrogated the defendant very carefully, and only presented his testimony after the interrogation was over and the defendant was taken away.

Yan Shiyue said: "Send someone to check this person out, I think something is wrong."

Qiao Yue asked, "I wonder where the Prime Minister is pointing?"

She said, "A person who witnessed such a thing with his own eyes and thought it was done by 'Lord Lin' dared to wander around the capital? Wasn't he afraid of being silenced? The files also mentioned this cart, which means the government had also looked for him. If he was nearby, why couldn't they find him?"

Qiao Yue said: "According to my speculation, the situation is like this. When this matter was exposed, someone found this person, protected him, and kept him in a place they knew, preparing to use him one day."

Yan Shiyue nodded suddenly.

That being said, it does make sense.

Qiao Yue said, "We have to investigate, but we can't convict someone based on the words of one person. Before I left Chang'an, I ordered people to go to Tongqian Alley to look for people who knew Lin Dalang and Lin Erlang, including their female relatives. But it's been so long, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

After Yan Shiyue returned, he studied the files and transcripts carefully.

...

...

But the files of this era were too simple. She wanted to know whether the door latch was broken, the layout of the courtyard, traces, etc., but there were no detailed records. The only thing that could prove that it was poisonous smoke was the incense block soaked in datura poison left at the scene.

Qiao Yue, this minor official, was also very stubborn in his work. He went to ask Lin Fujian and Lin Weixin again, and brought someone who was taking notes with him. His attitude was completely that of an interrogation, which made Prince Yu secretly happy.

But at this time, Li Jinzhong's case also began to be tried.

Yan Shiyue ignored everyone and went to see the imperial physician alone.

The atmosphere was quite tense, with both sides waiting to see which side would come out with the result first.

At night, Huo Qijing led his men on patrol as usual.

Less than a month after he joined the Yulin Army, he was ordered to guard the imperial palace, so he did most things himself. One reason was to gain understanding, and the other was to lead by example to maintain the morale of the troops.

When they got near the Xianheng Palace, they heard voices. Huo Qijing shouted, "Who is it?"

The attendant quickly drew his sword. The man panicked and trembled as he timidly shouted, "I'm not a bad guy!"

The other person has already stepped forward with a knife in hand: "Come out!"

Then a woman came out with two maids and knelt on the ground in a hurry: "My Lord, please don't blame me. I was so greedy for the moonlight that I lost my way."

Huo Qijing remembered everything well, and when he recognized the person in the courtyard, he nodded and said, "Don't walk around at night, go back immediately."

Zhao Xiangning sobbed, "I am a little scared. Can you please send me back, Lord?"

Huo Qijing frowned, pointed at someone at random, and walked straight forward.

Zhao Xiangning sobbed twice before lifting her skirt and walking gracefully into the garden.

She couldn't explain clearly what she wanted, and she would never dare to think of competing with Princess Fu Yan for her husband.

But ever since that day... that day when she accidentally saw Huo Qijing teaching Prince Jiacuo a lesson, she became like a possessed person, always thinking about him like that.

She thought that such a handsome and dashing man, who was once a son of a royal family, must feel extremely depressed now that he had to compromise and be paired with that vulgar princess from the common people.

She thought that she only needed to comfort him secretly and let him know that there were still gentle and lovely women in this world, with a fragrance like that of a lotus.

He was used to seeing Fu Yan's androgynous appearance, so he couldn't help but feel comforted when he saw her daughter's grace. Although she didn't dare to do anything, she must have felt a little comforted when she asked him to look at her.

His Highness Fu Yan, who even her father couldn't afford to offend, was arrogant and domineering all day long, but her husband was secretly thinking about her in his heart... Whenever she thought of this, she trembled with excitement.

The first time, she was a little nervous.

But she successfully sent out the rubbing.

His Highness Fu Yan did not come to see her either.

Even if they came to find her, it would be fine. She did nothing and said nothing. She just wanted to hand the rubbings over to His Highness Fu Yan. She was innocent, and no matter who she argued with, she could not say that she was wrong.

Who knew that when he went to please His Highness Fu Yan, a petition inexplicably appeared.

She was so scared that she lay in bed for two days.

It wasn't until I realized that everything was fine that I gradually came to my senses.

Yes, the lawsuit is not hers, what is she afraid of?

The only pity was that she finally came out, but there were so many people around the young marquis that she couldn't even say a few words.

Zhao Xiangning glanced back with regret.

When the two Yulin soldiers were walking back, they were still joking: "I don't know whose family this young lady is from. She looks back as she walks. She looks so affectionate. I don't know who she has taken a fancy to!"

"Who could she be attracted to?" Another person said, "I saw her come to see General Huo last time and gave him something, which General Huo accepted."

"What?" The others were shocked: "General Huo is the consort of His Highness Fu Yan! You can't say such things carelessly!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Many people saw it. It was Sun Wen who called the police. Was it Sun Wen?"

The person who was called responded vaguely.

Lin Weixin, who was sitting in the corner, lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

The next morning, in front of everyone, Lin Weixin stepped forward to challenge him. He said loudly, "You and His Highness Fu Yan were married by imperial decree, but you secretly flirted with the young lady from the Guangcheng Marquis's mansion. Where do you think His Highness should be? Even though I am not your opponent, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of His Highness!"

He pounced on him and started hitting him.

He was knocked down, then pounced on again, then knocked down again, then pounced on again... and the matter immediately became a big deal.

After Lin Fujian knew about this, he actually said “good” twice in his heart.

If it were any other woman, she would definitely side with her husband, and this commotion would be bad for both sides, but Yan Shiyue was not like that.

She is so reasonable!

If such a thing really happened, she would find Huo Qijing first. And no matter whether this matter was right or wrong, Lin Weixin was young and hot-tempered anyway, and he could get angry without damaging his reputation. Maybe he could even get a good deal from Yan Shiyue.

There's nothing wrong with it.

The most important thing is that Earl Guangcheng is Prince Yu's loyal dog. Giving him such a title is not only embarrassing, but also enough to make Yan Shiyue disgusted with them.

How can a woman not be jealous?

How could Yan Shiyue be at a disadvantage?

This move is really brilliant!

Yan Shiyue went to bed late, and before she got up in the morning, she heard some noise outside. She was in a bad mood and called out in a daze, "What are you making noise about?"

Wei Xin and Wei Bo hurried in to serve, and said cautiously: "Master, Lin Weixin is fighting with the Marquis!"

"Huh? Fight again?" Yan Shiyue said, "It's okay, he is no match for A Jing."

Wei Xin coughed twice, "Master, please don't be angry. Mainly... before he started fighting, he said it was because of the incident between the Marquis and the young lady from the Guangcheng Marquis's mansion... that thing, he was so angry that he fought for His Highness."

Yan Shiyue slowly stopped her hand and looked at them: "What is that?"
