Ku Lianqiao: "It is indeed His Royal Highness Prince Su. He even knows about Maitreya's poison, which is rare in this world and not many people know about it."
"Although I don't know exactly how Pei Twelve Niang died, if this poison appears in Jinling City... it may indeed be related to me."
"I remember that I gave it to a good friend some time ago..."
Prince Su: "One of your good friends? Who is this person?"
Ku Lianqiao: "Princess Qinyu."
In an instant, Leng Dian and others quickly looked at Prince Su.
Prince Su's expression was calm and he showed no other reaction.
Seeing this, Leng Dian immediately stepped forward and continued to interrogate him harshly, "You are just a woman from Jianghu. How could you be such a close friend of Princess Qinyu that you could exchange gifts? Do you think we are all fools?!"
"Moreover, on the night when the twelfth lady of the Pei family died, Princess Qinyu was attending a night banquet in the palace."
"If you intend to pin this incident on Princess Qinyu, you are miscalculating!"
After saying that, Leng Dian stepped forward and lashed out at Ku Lianqiao with a whip: "You daring sinner! How dare you slander the princess? Do you want your entire clan to be exterminated?"
Ku Lianqiao felt the pain and hurriedly whispered, "Of course I don't dare to say anything nonsense! But I also didn't say that the man was killed by Princess Qinyu herself!"
"I've already betrayed Princess Qinyu for Qingyangzi. I've said everything I can. I really don't know anything else..."
After Li Qingluo came out of prison, Zhuiyu sent him to a carriage.
Zhui Yu: "Miss, our prince is not available to see you again today. He will come to see you later. If you have any questions, just ask the prince."
Zhui Yu said this with a smile and sent Li Qingluo away.
Li Qingluo: "Please ask Young Master Zhuiyu to give my regards to the prince."
She knew that being brought to the Dali Temple prison to experience this today was a special favor from Prince Su.
Naturally, she would not continue to be so ungrateful as to ask unnecessary questions.
And she was very satisfied knowing that Nan Jia's case had made great progress.
Moreover, Li Qingluo believed that Prince Su was a person who was sincere in handling the case.
Que'er still looked dazed. When they were completely away from the Dali Temple, Que'er murmured, "It's so scary. The rumor that once you enter the Dali Temple, even ghosts will shed a layer of skin is really true... That Qingyangzi actually... even..."
When Que'er thought of that scene, she felt her whole body tremble.
"Miss, do you want to tell the old lady about this?"
After all, Qingyangzi was the abbot of Qingsong Temple, and the old lady had many interactions with Qingyangzi, so when Que'er saw Qingyangzi become like that, she felt a lot of sadness in her heart.
When Prince Su was trying a case, did he sometimes resort to extremes to obtain the truth?
So Qing Yangzi wasn't the real murderer of Pei Shierniang...
Li Qingluo: "Prince Su must have his own ideas about this matter. Que'er, don't say anything more!"
What Li Qingluo didn't say was that Ku Lianqiao fell into a trap and failed to see the truth.
But she had just seen clearly that after Qing Yangzi's arm was chopped off, although blood splattered everywhere, when he was dragged away, there was no large amount of blood flowing out from the broken arm...
Inside the Yamen of Dali Temple.
In an empty room, Qing Yangzi was standing in front of the window intact, with his hands behind his back, looking at the fresh buds sprouting from the branches outside the window.
When Duan Rongshi walked in, he saw that all the blood on his body had been washed clean, and he couldn't help but say coldly, "You seem to have nothing to do."
Qing Yangzi turned and bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness. I've put on quite a show with Your Highness today, but has she finally spoken?"
Duan Rongshi: "You've already acted so miserable. If she continues to refuse to say anything, wouldn't that be a huge failure on your part?"
"Don't worry, she hasn't vomited everything yet. I will use you again to make her vomit everything out."
Qing Yangzi's face was cold and indifferent, and even a murderous aura emanated from him: "Shi Er Niang, was she the one who killed her?"
Duan Rongshi only said, "The death of the twelfth lady of the Pei family may be closely related to Princess Qinyu."
When these words came out, Qing Yangzi's expression was slightly shaken.
"A few months ago, the poisonous woman Ku Lianqiao appeared near Qingsong Temple. Your Highness knew at the time that she had close ties with Princess Qinyu."
"So, by chance, His Highness allowed me to get close to this woman and even got engaged to her, all for the sake of planning your future."
"Your Highness was suspicious of Qin Yu. I originally thought it was simply because she was a princess of the State of Chu."
"Although you two are clearly siblings who grew up together, Your Highness seems to have more plans for her... But from what I've seen today, Princess Qinyu may not be sincere towards Your Highness either."
"Did she not plot against you?"
Otherwise, Ku Lianqiao would not know that he and Prince Su were close friends in their youth and had frequent interactions over the years.
Therefore, while I was approaching the bitter forsythia with ulterior motives, the bitter forsythia might also be approaching me with ulterior motives.
But when Qing Yangzi thought of Twelve Mother being implicated in this matter, his heart was torn into pieces.
He and Twelve Niang have known each other since childhood.
After they got engaged, every time he visited her secretly, he would bring her her favorite gadgets and snacks.
She always has the most innocent smile on her face.
Later, as she grew up, they saw each other less and less, but Qingyangzi became more and more concerned about her.
He never looked down on her just because she was a concubine's daughter.
"Your Highness, what secrets does Princess Qinyu hold?"
Duan Rongshi: "It's better for you not to know for now. When the time is right, I will let you know."
