"how?"
Chi Yan saw Shen Tangning come out of the room and immediately went to greet her.
Liu Yifu also straightened up and focused his gaze.
She hesitated, then shook her head and glanced at him: "Let's talk in private."
The three of them arrived at a secluded corner, and Shen Tangning carefully spoke up: "Although this princess did not reveal any flaws, she gave me a strange feeling."
Chi Yan frowned slightly: "I had the same thought."
Shen Tangning paused slightly: "But I can't understand it. If she simply didn't want to marry into the royal family, there was absolutely no need for her to kill the Second Prince. That would only bring endless trouble for her."
While it may temporarily sow discord between the states of Qing and Qi and achieve the goal of breaking up the marriage alliance, what awaits her after returning to Qi?
A thoughtful look flashed across Liu Yifu's face: "I'll go and see her again."
Liu Yifu turned and left. Shen Tangning looked at Chi Yan: "What about that eldest prince of the Northern Di? Is he still not cooperating?"
Chi Yan's gaze darkened slightly, and he raised his lips with an ambiguous expression: "That's not up to him."
If such a big thing has happened, and the other party insists on refusing to cooperate, wouldn't that be a clear indication that they have something to hide?
Shen Tangning was wondering what he planned to do when he saw his gaze fall on her. "Why don't you give it a try?"
She widened her eyes slightly: "Me?"
When Chi Yan went to invite Dorje again, the other party still looked impatient. Just as he was about to speak, a gentle voice suddenly rang out:
"Your Highness, please hear me out. I also believe you are innocent, but the outside world does not think so. Only by finding the real culprit as soon as possible can we clear your name and give you justice."
"You've come all this way to foster good relations, and you certainly don't want to cause any unpleasantness between our two countries, do you?"
Dorjee's expression fluctuated, but his inner turmoil gradually subsided.
As Shen Tangning hesitated whether to add a few words, the door in front of her was opened, and Duoji stared at her with inscrutable eyes: "Who are you?"
She paused, but Chi Yan had already calmly pulled her behind him, speaking in a distant yet polite tone: "This is my wife."
Dorjee's gaze fell on Chi Yan, revealing a hint of regret.
The group sat down in the room. Dorje stared at Chi Yan, his lips twitching a few times, his expression hesitant to speak.
They probably never expected that someone would bring their wife along when investigating a case!
Shen Tangning was also quite uncomfortable, but when she thought of Chi Yan's earnest instructions, she forced herself to pretend to be calm and composed.
Chi Yan's idea was simple: Shen Tangning was a woman and always meticulous, so perhaps she would notice some details that they had not noticed.
"Where was the First Prince last night, and what did he do?"
Dorjee glanced at Chi Yan, who was asking the question, his face a little sour, but he still reluctantly cooperated: "In my own room, I had a meal and some wine with our envoy, and then went to bed early, around 9:00 PM."
Chi Yan raised an eyebrow: "Going to bed so early?"
Dorjee's eyebrows twitched, suppressing his displeasure: "You won't let me go out again. It's so boring here, what else can I do besides sleep?"
Chi Yan nodded, took out his pen and wrote it down, then moved on to the next question: "I heard that the prince had a conflict with the second prince of Qi, and even fought?"
Dorje's face showed indignation: "He started it! He also struck first!"
Shen Tangning noticed the bulging veins on the side of his neck and guessed that he was telling the truth.
This eldest prince is impulsive and easily angered, and his emotions are readily apparent, making him very easy to read. Such a personality often makes him easy to take advantage of.
A thoughtful look crossed her eyes.
