"Brother Su, why are you here?" Ouyang Yi saw the person coming and stood up from the chair in the high hall. His words were full of respect for this person, "Do you mean what you just said?"

Su Yizhi saluted Ouyang Yi in return. His identity attracted the attention of everyone present. The person who could attract such attention from Ouyang Yi was definitely not an ordinary person.

Su Qingcheng's attention was all on her brother, and she didn't notice the eldest princess's face suddenly turning pale.

"I'm not feeling well. I need to go to the hut." The eldest princess's voice was a little panicked. Su Qingcheng nodded slightly, not noticing anything unusual about her, and looked away.

"Yes, I was passing by outside the attic at that time and heard Miss Lin telling Miss Shen that as long as she put some oleander in her incense box, the amount would not kill people, but it would make Princess Nan'an carry a murderer on her back. Sinners."

Ouyang Yi said sharply: "Is Miss Lin here?"

Lin Changshuang, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and said in a delicate and gentle voice: "The daughter of the people is here."

"Can you plead guilty?"

"Back to the prince, Chang Shuang has not said these words to Miss Shen." Lin Changshuang looked slightly older than Shen Baiwei and much more steady. The previous panic was gone, "Since Mr. Man is the fourth prince's retainer, he must have It’s also impossible to tell lies. Could it be that the murderer deliberately imitated our clothes and voices in order to put the blame on the two of us?”

These words made Su Qingcheng remember her, seemingly to explain to herself and Shen Baiwei. In fact, they were overtly and covertly pointing out that the royal family was colluding, and the fourth prince was covering up Su Qingcheng's crimes.

"Brother Man, were there any other witnesses besides you?"

"not at all."

It was indeed difficult for Su Yizhiguang to prove anything with just one mouth. Su Qingcheng raised her eyes and saw her brother's calm look and knew that this matter was not over yet.

"In this case, it is more likely that the murderer is pretending to be the two of us. Mr. Man must not be familiar with the two of us. It is understandable that he was deceived by the cunning murderer." Lin Changshuang is different from Shen Baiwei. She is the daughter of the second-rank Shangshu Ling, and in terms of official rank, she is higher than the Shen family.

With such a striking identity, it stands to reason that Su Qingcheng has been in Haojing for some time, but she has never heard of Lin Changshuang's name. Now, at first glance, her appearance is very ordinary. Compared with the beautiful Shen Baiwei, she looks like The maid beside Shen Baiwei.

But after today's incident, Su Qingcheng realized that this person was anything but simple. Maybe Shen Baiwei's dirty tricks were taught by her.

"But...there is something strange about this princess." Although Su Qingcheng knew that Su Yizhi would definitely produce actual evidence, before that she was still very curious about Lin Changshuang's purpose.

Lin Changshuang smiled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved just right. Although her appearance was not outstanding, her temperament was definitely that of a lady.

"Princess Nan'an, it's okay." Her eyes only stayed on Su Qingcheng for a moment, and then looked at Ouyang Yi. The emotion between her eyebrows could not be called innocent.

On the other hand, Ouyang Yi didn't even look at Lin Changshuang. It seemed that this was unrequited love.

Su Qingcheng took in all these details and said: "Master Man is just a witness. He told what he heard and saw. His words are his evidence. So, what about Miss Lin's evidence?"

"Princess Nan'an is joking, why do I need evidence?" Lin Changshuang's smile froze and disappeared briefly.

"This is evidence that those two people are not you two."

Su Yizhi turned away from everyone and snickered, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his little sister was so tough.

"This... I wonder if the maids around us can prove it?" Lin Changshuang said.

Su Qingcheng chuckled: "Miss Lin also said that she is your two maids, so she naturally helps her master to speak."

Lin Changshuang was frustrated, but not annoyed. She remained cheerful and without the slightest embarrassment: "According to what Princess Nan'an said, I can't provide any evidence."

"That's it. Brother Man has no evidence to prove that those two are you, and you have no evidence to prove that it's not you, so this is a dead end."

Lin Changshuang couldn't help but look up at Su Qingcheng. She was different from Shen Baiwei, a young lady who had her emotions written on her face and looked like a spoiled girl at first glance. Although she looked down on Su Qingcheng, a princess who grew up in the border, she could still be respectful on her face. .

When I heard that King Yu Nan rejected Shen Baiwei and asked to marry Princess Nan'an, I thought that King Yu Nan was just interested in her appearance, but I didn't expect that Princess Nan'an was a very smart person...

"What Princess Nan'an said is that since this is the case, things are back to where they started."

"Who said that?"

The one who spoke was Su Yizhi. When he turned around, he quietly gave a thumbs up to Su Qingcheng beside him, who lowered his head and chuckled.

"Did Mr. Man suddenly think that there were other people at that time or suddenly find evidence?" Lin Changshuang smiled with a hidden knife, and the sarcasm was particularly obvious.

Su Yizhi was unhurried, and his voice was gentle but extremely resounding: "This ice green white jade incense box, in addition to being smooth and white as the princess said, has another feature. Because the texture is as pure as ice, no matter what is inside, Both the appearance and the smell are easy to leave behind. Since both Miss Lin and Miss Shen say they are innocent, just smell the scent box to see if it is stained with their scent, right?"

Su Qingcheng's heart flashed, remembering that every time she saw Shen Baiwei, she could clearly smell the scent of powder on her body. No wonder she felt a little familiar when she took the incense box.

Lin Changshuang's eyes were complicated and she smiled: "Okay."

The people from Dali Terrace brought up the icy green and white jade incense box again. For today's incense tasting party, Ouyang Yi specially invited many perfume masters from Dong Ling. To show fairness, these masters will judge whether the fragrance is consistent.

Su Qingcheng watched the process without saying a word. She always felt that something was wrong. Lin Changshuang looked too calm. It was normal for Shen Baiwei to be a little scared...

After half a stick of incense had passed, several masters looked at each other and said, "Fourth Prince Qi, after discussion among myself and others, we came to the conclusion that this incense box smells of Miss Shen's powder. Although it is very faint, it does exist. "

"Miss Shen, do you have anything else to explain? From the moment we entered the mansion, everyone's incense boxes were put away in unison. Why did the smell of your powder remain on Princess Nan'an's incense box?" Ouyang Yi said seriously. .

Shen Baiwei was at a loss for a moment, looked at Lin Changshuang blankly, and stammered: "I don't know, I really don't..."

"Someone, take Miss Shen to Dali Tai Prison."

Shen Baiwei's face turned pale, and she hesitated to speak but was suppressed by the officers and soldiers.

After a lot of trouble, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the crowd of onlookers had almost left. When Su Qingcheng turned around, she realized that the eldest princess had never returned.

"Princess Nan'an." Lin Changshuang called to Su Qingcheng and stretched out his hand to slap her on the shoulder, but Wu Ya's quick eyes and hands caught her tightly.
