The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The queen tightly grasped the armrest, her knuckles turning white. She sneered, "How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Lord Xie's wardrobe burned, and yours, Chu Heyi's wardrobe, burned too. It seems like they are destroying the evidence in advance."

Chu Heyi agreed: "What the Queen said makes sense. It does sound a bit too coincidental. But everyone who has raised a child knows that children's behavior is so difficult to control. They always do many things that we adults cannot prevent in advance.

"I think this is probably God protecting me and Master Xie. Maybe it's not God's blessing, but the blessing of the true dragon spirit in the emperor."

The emperor is in a good mood, what does this have to do with him?

The emperor looked at her, wanting to hear what she had to say.

Chu Heyi continued, "If a dynasty has run out of luck, the emperor will be surrounded by treacherous people. On the contrary, the emperor will be surrounded by good ministers and brave generals.

"Da Qi is now stable and strong, all thanks to the Emperor's true dragon energy! It was also the Emperor's true dragon energy that caused the wardrobes of this minister and Mr. Xie to be burned, preventing us from being wrongly accused of murdering Concubine Zheng today.

"Reducing wrongful convictions means reducing resentment. If there is no resentment, the country will be stable and peaceful for a long time."

After hearing this, the emperor burst into laughter, but then he felt that it was inappropriate and quickly stopped laughing.

He pretended to be deep and said, "Cheng'an County Master, you are really eloquent."

Chu Heyi said: "What I said is from my heart. If it weren't for the blessing of the emperor's true dragon spirit, the house of me and Mr. Xie would not have caught fire accidentally. I felt distressed at the time, but now I know that misfortune often brings good fortune."

Dongfang Shuo was furious: "Chu Heyi, even with your eloquence, you can't clear your name. The Queen is right. You burned the wardrobe in advance just to destroy the evidence."

Chu Heyi raised his eyebrows: "How could I know at that time that Concubine Zheng would die?"

Dongfang Shuo: "You planned to murder my mother, so of course you destroyed the evidence in advance."

Chu Heyi: "This is your speculation. You have to provide evidence, otherwise it is slander. Lord Xie and I have already produced enough evidence to prove that we did not murder Concubine Zheng."

Dongfang Shuo was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

Xie Lin said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since the old clothes were burned, I have never made clothes that are the same as the ones in the painting..."

Chu Heyi immediately agreed: "Me too."

Xie Lin continued, "Someone is trying to murder Concubine Zheng and is trying to frame me and Miss Heyi. They will definitely leave evidence. If we can find where the two sets of clothes in the painting are, we may be able to find the real culprit."

Dongfang Shuo said: "After the real murderer killed my mother, could he have left behind the clothes used in the crime for us to search?

"Besides, there are so many people who have contact with my mother. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the murderer according to your method. Sir Xie, are you trying to delay time and exonerate you and Chu Heyi?"

Wen Tingshen frowned and suddenly said, "It's not like looking for a needle in a haystack. I've said that when the imperial concubine passed away, she was very shocked and angry.

"According to my deduction, the person who murdered the Imperial Concubine was either someone she trusted, or someone she believed could not possibly kill her. And those who knew the Imperial Concubine are basically in the palace, so we can start by searching each palace."

Dongfang Shuo said: "Even if that's the case, the real murderer may not have left the clothes he used to commit the crime, waiting for us to search!"

Wen Tingshen said: "Your Highness King Cheng, you may not know that a small number of people will leave some evidence after killing someone to prove that they have killed that person. This is the medal they leave for themselves. Just like soldiers chopping off the heads of enemies on the battlefield and bringing them back, it can prove their military exploits."

Dongfang Shuo stared at Wen Tingshen, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Is there really such a stupid person in the world? Leaving a handle for others to catch?"

"There are some, but there are very few such people. Moreover, when that person leaves evidence, he does not think it is evidence because he is confident that he has done a good job and no one will investigate him."

Wen Tingshen said: "Your Highness, think about it, if Lord Xie and Miss Heyi were unable to protect themselves before, they would have been killed by your sword now. Everyone would conclude that they were the murderers of the imperial concubine. Who would investigate other people?

"The murderer probably thought the same thing, so the murderer left behind the clothes he used to commit the crime, which shows that he is confident enough."

Although Dongfang Shuo was extremely angry, he was speechless.

The emperor felt that what Wen Tingshen said made some sense. Besides, Xie Lin and Chu Heyi both had witnesses proving that they were not at the scene when the imperial concubine died. There were also witnesses proving that the murderer's clothes had already been burned, so they could not be convicted.

The emperor said, "Come here, bring Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and the others back to the palace. Then, as Lord Wen said, search all the palaces and find the clothes the murderer is wearing."

The emperor and empress returned to the palace, and the common people and guards shouted in unison: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

An hour later, inside the Purple Palace, the emperor and the empress were still sitting on the high platform, while the rest of the people were all kneeling in the main hall.

Wen Tingshen seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The emperor shouted angrily: "Master Wen, just say what you want to say. It's not your style to be hesitant!"

Wen Tingshen asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to search the Empress' Fengwu Palace? I heard that when the Imperial Concubine was alive, she had several conflicts with the Empress and even had a fight with her."

The Queen spoke first: "If Lord Wen thinks that I am also a suspect, please search me. Although there are many unpleasant things between me and the Imperial Concubine, I don't hate her enough to kill her."

Wen Tingshen: "Thank you Queen for your consideration. But if the whole palace is searched but Fengwu Palace is not searched, it would be good if the suspect is found. But if not, then Queen will be the suspect for nothing."

The emperor said, "Lord Wen is right. The queen should not be angry. He ordered people to search Fengwu Palace to clear the queen of suspicion."

"I am not angry. Lord Wen, if you want to search, just go ahead."

Emperor: "Sir Wen, the Queen has agreed to let you search, why don't you go?"

Wen Tingshen took the order and left quickly. Everyone thought they would have to wait for a long time, but they didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.

Wen Tingshen's face was serious. He strode in and knelt in the hall. "Your Majesty, we found two blood-stained sleeves at the foot of the Queen's bed in Fengwu Palace. Judging from the style of the sleeves, they are exactly the same as the sleeves of Mr. Xie and Miss Heyi in the painting."

The queen was startled and stood up suddenly. For a moment, she felt dizzy. She saw that everyone in the palace was looking at her, especially Xie Lin and Chu Heyi...

They were like two poisonous snakes that had already set their sights on her and were now spitting their tongues at her.

She suddenly realized that she had been tricked.
