Upon hearing from Li Qingyu that the Emperor had been assassinated, Prince Qing immediately gave an order to his household and hurriedly entered the palace.
"Let's go and take a look at the Crown Prince's residence."
Xie Lingqin saw that Prince Qing did not stop him from entering the palace. At this time, it was only right for Prince Qing to go to the palace to offer his condolences.
"Right, it's been almost two hours. Tinghai should be awake by now. Why hasn't he appeared?" Xie Lingqin remembered this and called out to the shadows.
Sure enough, no one was in the shadows.
It seems that Tinghai hasn't arrived yet.
Tinghai didn't come. Xie Lingqin pondered and looked at Zihe, "Don't you think things went a little too smoothly tonight?"
"What do you mean by that, Miss?"
Zihe was somewhat confused. If things went smoothly, it was only because Miss had foresight and planned everything properly.
"I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it, I realize that the number of guards the Emperor had today was less than I expected. Li Qingyu is the deputy commander of the Thunder Guard. Since the Emperor wants the Thunder Guard to investigate such a serious matter, why doesn't he ask the commander to investigate? Where is the commander?"
Xie Lingqin tried hard to clear her mind. The Emperor had been scheming for so many years, he couldn't possibly be that simple.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.
Xie Lingqin immediately headed towards the General's Mansion.
Upon seeing this, Zihe, though unaware of what was wrong with her mistress, immediately followed.
They rushed into the mansion and headed towards Qingshui Pavilion. All around was quiet, and everything was as peaceful as ever.
But as soon as they arrived at the entrance of Qingshui Pavilion, something was wrong. A strong smell of blood filled the air and lingered for a long time.
"This, this is..." Zihe's expression changed drastically. When he looked at Xie Lingqin, he saw that Xie Lingqin's face was as white as snow.
"Don't speak, don't make a sound, go inside first."
Xie Lingqin's voice was soft and cold. A cold wind blew, and for no reason, Zihe felt her heart tighten and her whole body feel heavy.
Because she saw that the young lady, who was usually composed and unflappable, had trembled slightly with her lips and fingertips when she spoke.
She was afraid.
Even if someone massacres Qingshui Pavilion, Miss should not be afraid, but hate.
At that moment, Xie Lingqin stepped over the corpse of the maid in the courtyard and gently, very gently, pushed open the blood-stained door.
