Quick time travel: The sick and charming villain in my strategy has turned black again

Chapter 223

"Today, everyone was detained in the palace. If the fifth brother didn't do it, then maybe you can produce evidence to prove that you didn't do it?"

Qi Linghai couldn't bear to look at the old emperor's corpse anymore.

Just now, when everyone was in the imperial garden, suddenly the eunuch next to the old emperor came to summon Qi Lingchuan. Check.

Unexpectedly, when I first arrived at the Hall of Harmony, I saw such a scene.

Moreover, I don't know who sent the news to the Royal Garden. After a while, everyone rushed back.

What I saw was that scene just now.

It is undeniable that seeing this scene, he was faintly ecstatic.

Under the witness of everyone, Qi Lingchuan has almost no possibility of sophistry, unless he can find out the real murderer.

Did Qi Lingchuan do this?Qi Linghai was also uncertain in his heart. When he saw Duan Mu's expression, he had doubts, but soon, he dispelled this doubt.

This matter can only be done by Qi Lingchuan.

It must also be done by Qi Lingchuan.

Only in this way can Qi Lingchuan be brought down, so he couldn't wait to put Qi Lingchuan in prison.

However, after the queen was horrified, she still stood up.

He knew that the empress had always belonged to Qi Lingchuan's faction, and if the empress wanted to protect Qi Lingchuan today, there must be some trouble.

"It's him, it must be him!"

However, Qi Lingchuan seemed to recognize Duan Mu, staring at Duan Mu as if he wanted to eat someone.

Duan Mu closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Fangcai." Eunuch Li cried enough, and finally remembered something: "Fangcai, the old slave has been guarding outside, and seems to have heard the quarrel coming from inside, but the old slave did not dare to go in, and then heard the sound of a vase breaking. , the old slave boldly entered the Hall of Harmony, and saw... saw the Fifth Prince holding a knife."

Eunuch Li glanced at Qi Lingchuan quickly, then quickly lowered his head, speaking in a hesitant tone, as if extremely panicked.

From Eunuch Li's words, things gradually became clearer.

The other princes all looked sad, but they were quickly thinking about what to do next.

The queen was dizzy for a while. Eunuch Li has been with the emperor for more than 20 years, so it is absolutely impossible to lie. If what he said is true, then the murderer is really Qi Lingchuan.
Once the crime of murdering his father is proven, Qi Lingchuan will not only be spurned by thousands of people, but even his life will be in danger.

This is the way the old emperor taught since childhood.

"It's not me." Qi Lingchuan let go of Duan Mu viciously, his eyes were bloodshot, scanning the surrounding crowd.

From the eyes of these people, he could only see strong disgust and fear.

"Your Majesty has an accident, the Ai family is more sad than you, but the most important thing right now is to find the real murderer and let His Majesty rest in peace, not your brothers to fight against the wall, let the real murderer go free, the Ai family is the master, let the fifth prince stay in the palace first, Check things out."

The queen made up her mind, as long as the fifth prince said he didn't do it by himself, there would still be a chance to struggle.

"Since the queen mother said so, let's do this first. Before the facts are found out, the fifth brother can't go anywhere." Qi Linghai's eyelids trembled, and he took a deep look at the queen.

It seems that the queen has not given up on Qi Lingchuan, and she still wants to protect him now.

The queen's face softened a little.

"Today's matter, pass on the order, who dares to leak the slightest word, punishing the nine clans, it is related to the face of the royal family, the princes also understand, right? Your majesty did not draw up an edict before his death. The country cannot live without a king. We just wait for the matter to come to light as soon as possible. Return Chuaner's innocence."

However, the queen's next words made everyone's faces change suddenly.

That is to say, whether Qi Lingchuan did it or not, she firmly supports Qi Lingchuan.

"The empress mother's words, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to rest in peace." Qi Linghai snorted coldly.

"Come here, take the fifth younger brother to the Dragon Raising Hall, the queen mother is also tired, it's time to rest, and send the rest back to the manor."

Qi Lingchuan had no right to speak at the moment, and Qi Linghai, who was present, was the most promising person to control the government. The guards hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to take Qi Lingchuan away.

Among the crowd, a thin and thin soldier with firm eyes landed on Duan Mu vaguely, and then mixed into the team.

The good flower feast ended like this, the imperial palace rang the death knell, and the whole country mourned. The imperial city hung up elegiac couplets for seven consecutive days, and everyone had to wear plain clothes.

Qi Lingchuan was under house arrest in the Dragon Raising Hall, and no one including the queen could come in to see him.

Qi Lingchuan's face was ashen, repeating all this.

How was it calculated?

The late emperor's personal eunuch came to summon him, and when he arrived at the Hall of Harmony, he did have a dispute with the late emperor because he had not established a crown prince for a long time.

But the first emperor coughed violently at that moment, he was a little worried and stepped forward to check, however, he seemed to lose his sanity for a moment, his eyes were blank, and when he regained his sanity again, he was already holding the knife in his hand, and there was no one present. two people.

Everything was just as outsiders saw it, and he really didn't even have a chance to argue.

He knew very well that he didn't kill the person, but no one would believe him.

Two days had passed, he was locked up here without eating or drinking, as if he was forgotten, and every day, he could hear the bell being rung.

Could it be that he lost like this?
Qi Lingchuan walked to the door. Outside, the guards were heavily guarded. If he forced his way out, he would undoubtedly be convicted of his crime.

He, Qi Lingchuan, had been upright all his life, and he would never be charged with killing his father.

Just when Qi Lingchuan felt confused for the first time in his life, there seemed to be movement outside again. It was a strange face, wearing the uniform of the imperial guards, holding a meal.

Small and thin, with strange eyes.

For some reason, Qi Lingchuan saw the strangeness of this person at a glance.

"who are you?"

He looked at the little fellow.

The man smiled strangely, with a soft feminine voice.

"Fifth prince, I'm just a servant who brings you food." Tu Yaoyao put down the food and said calmly.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere before." Qi Lingchuan stared at Tu Yaoyao, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, wishing to eat Tu Yaoyao: "You are that little slave that day."

"Fifth Prince has good eyesight." Tu Yaoyao stopped pretending: "Fifth Prince, your rescuer is coming soon."

Qi Lingchuan didn't understand Tu Yaoyao's words, but Tu Yaoyao dodged like a loach, and quickly disappeared in front of her eyes with the food box.

"Go and grab that man."

Qi Lingchuan just wanted to chase out, but was stopped by the guards at the door, he couldn't help shouting.

The guards looked at each other, only thinking that Qi Lingchuan wanted to escape from here, and didn't intend to pay too much attention to it.

"Fifth prince, you'd better stay here with peace of mind, don't make things difficult for the younger brothers."

After all, close and lock the door.

"Damn it." Qi Lingchuan clenched his fists fiercely, wishing he could smash through the door.
