Wen Yuan slept in the Demon Palace that night, but she never thought that such a casual decision would lead to her missing important events in the capital.
When Wen Yuan returned to the palace the next day, Jue told her that a terrible and terrible thing happened in the capital last night.
"Why are you making this so mysterious?" Wen Yuan didn't take it to heart at first, but when he heard Jue say that this matter was related to the General's Mansion, Wen Yuan still pricked up his ears.
"Someone set a fire in the General's Mansion last night, because it was already late at night, and the fire spread from the woodshed. When people found out, part of the General's Mansion had been burned down, and while the people were putting out the fire... someone I took the opportunity to sneak into the old lady's room. The old general was injured, and the old lady blocked the old general's sword..."
Hearing this, Wen Yuan felt his heartbeat suddenly stop, "This is impossible. Who would commit such a bold crime in the capital? Isn't this looking for death?"
Wen Yuan got to the crux of the problem, and Jue hesitantly took out what he found in the general's mansion from his personal space, which was a clean-looking note.
The handwriting on it was exactly the same as his own. Wen Yuan could tell at a glance. It seemed that someone wanted to blame him for this incident.
"How is the old general doing?"
Wen Yuan felt that asking now was in vain, so he simply took Jue directly to the general's mansion.
Standing outside and looking at the white flags hanging on the general's mansion, Wen Yuan whispered to Jue beside him: "Fortunately you found the note, otherwise I might not be able to explain it clearly now."
In a blink of an eye, Wen Yuan saw the Queen of the Moon and wondered why she was here.
Everything was such a coincidence, Wen Yuan naturally connected the whole thing with the Queen of the Moon King.
She followed the smell in her memory and found the Queen of the Moon. At this time, all the women were hiding under the trees, not knowing what they were escaping from.
When Wen Yuan saw her, he pulled her out, "If you're not in the palace, what are you doing here?"
But this matter really has nothing to do with the Queen of the Moon King, and the reason why she appeared outside the General's Mansion was just a coincidence.
Originally, Xinyue just wanted to go out to the palace and walk around the city today, but she happened to encounter something like this.
Then she wanted to join in the fun and see what was going on, and she happened to meet Wen Yuan. She felt that she was really unlucky today.
"I was out of the palace today for a stroll. Who would have thought that I would encounter this incident? Then I heard people outside saying that someone died in the General's Mansion, so I wanted to join in the fun and see what happened. Who knew it would happen? It’s really unlucky that I met you.”
Wen Yuan looked at the woman and felt that she was not lying. If that was the case, there was no need to waste words with her here.
She let go of the Queen of the Moon's clothes and let her go, "Don't wander around here at this time, especially if you are from outside. You are more likely to become the object of suspicion. Leave quickly."
Wen Yuan also gave good advice. What was more interesting was that this time the Queen of the Moon actually listened.
The woman hurriedly left the place where the trouble was. She didn't want to be involved in the murder case.
After she left, Wen Yuan took Jue to find Jiang Feng. She originally thought that the man would be very decadent, but now he couldn't see any depression at all.
But Wen Yuan still saw the red corners of his eyes. It looked like he had just cried, and his eyes were a little swollen. He must have been crying for a long time.
Jiang Feng greeted Wen Yuan as soon as he saw him, "Ah Yuan."
Ayuan Wenyuan heard that his voice was trembling. She pushed Jue and the others away, and took Jiang Feng to a place where there was no one in the name of talking.
She opened her arms to the man. Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and hugged Wen Yuan in front of him.
"It's okay, you can cry if you want. I've already set up a barrier around you."
Hearing Wen Yuan say this, the man could cry loudly at this moment. His choked voice made Wen Yuan uncomfortable, but Wen Yuan still kept stroking Jiang Feng's back with his hands to comfort him.
"As a general of the Dragon Kingdom, I don't even have the freedom to cry. I can't let others see my fragile side, otherwise they will feel that the general's mansion has no support."
Wen Yuan completely understood his difficulties, "I know, I know everything, but you have to be strong after crying, you know? The whole general's house is still waiting for you to find out the truth."
After crying, Jiang Feng felt much better. He also reported the matter to the emperor. After all, Jiang Feng and the old general were both meritorious ministers of the Dragon Kingdom. Naturally, the emperor could not let it go and immediately sent capable people to help Jiang Feng investigate. Explain this matter.
Wen Yuan was not idle during this period. Jue judged that the other person was a human by identifying the smell on the note. If it was a human, it would be easy to find.
Wen Yuan directly asked all the searchers in Wanmoyuan to find the person who smelled the same as the note. He believed that good news would come soon.
However, before Wen Yuan found the murderer, Yue Wang was the first to know who was the instigator of the incident.
"You bastard!" The Moon King slapped his son hard on the face, "Don't you want to live anymore and you set fire to the general's mansion?!"
At this time, the prince was still unwilling to admit that he had set the fire, but he could not deceive his father. "My son did not set the fire. Father, you have wronged me."
"You didn't?" The Moon King didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment, "Do you think I will let you act recklessly in the Dragon Kingdom? Your every move is under my surveillance. You left the palace last night and wanted to get rid of me. I sent a secret guard to follow you, but the secret guard still found you through his own method, and as a result, when he saw you, you idiot, he stood in the fire scene and watched the fire burn."
The prince didn't expect that his every move would be seen by his father's men. He had no way to quibble and could only use silence to cover up his guilty conscience.
The Moon King raised his hand and slapped her again. Just then the Queen came back and saw this scene.
How could she, who had always doted on her son, bear to watch her son being beaten? She immediately stepped forward to stop the Moon King, "What are you doing?! Why are you beating him for no reason?"
"Ask yourself what this good son of yours has done, murder and arson, how brave he is!"
kill? What killing? The prince was stunned when he heard the word murder. He did set the fire, but he didn't kill the person.
He immediately knelt in front of the Moon King, "Father! What killing? I didn't kill anyone! I just put a fire tube in their backyard. I didn't expect the fire to suddenly become so big at that time, so I was confused. , and then stood in the fire scene without moving."
Hearing what their son said, the Moon King and the Queen were also stunned, especially the Queen. She had just come back from the street and knew some news about the fire, but none of it matched what her son said.
"I heard that the fire started in the woodshed, and it seems that someone took advantage of the chaos and killed the old general's wife during the most chaotic time."
The prince was completely frightened now. If such a thing was found out about him, he would be unable to defend himself.
But is there any other way to get everything back on track now? No. Now we can only hope that the emperor and others will investigate more slowly.
The Moon King also didn't believe that his son could kill anyone. Although he had many bad intentions, he was not very courageous and only dared to do things that harmed others and did not benefit himself. As for such a serious crime as murder, he would never dare to commit it.
That is, someone borrowed a knife to kill someone, and while his son set the fire, he went to the fire scene and killed the person... But who in this capital would have such vicious thoughts and actually want to blame everything on his son.
At this time, the Moon King's first thought was also Wen Yuan, but the man thought carefully and found that Wen Yuan had no motive. Although she had never been at odds with her queen, she would not kill the wife of a powerful minister.
The man only felt a headache when he thought of this, why everything that happened recently was directed at them.
Is it possible...
Just when they were thinking about the possibility, Wen Yuan suddenly appeared in their palace.
Not everyone has the ability to appear out of thin air, so Wen Yuan's appearance frightened all three of them.
"Wen Yuan, what are you doing here?"
Wen Yuan took out the note and explained to the three of them the purpose of coming here, "There are many capable people and strangers around me. Someone smelled that the note on the note obtained from the fire scene was the same as that of the Prince of the Moon Kingdom." It’s the same, so I came to verify it.”
The Moon King took the note from Wen Yuan's hand, "This is my son's handwriting..."
He threw the note in the prince's face, "Did you write this?"
"yes……"
There was a poem on the note. The prince remembered that he had written it casually when he was practicing, but why it appeared in Wen Yuan's hand, and she said it was found in a fire... was even more strange.
Seeing that Wen Yuan and his father's expressions were getting more and more ugly, the man immediately explained, "I wrote this when I was practicing calligraphy. I was wondering a few days ago why the words I wrote were torn off. Look at it."
He took out the torn piece of paper from his personal space.
Wen Yuan handed the page to Jue, and Jue immediately smelled a strange smell on it, which he had never smelled before.
Although it has faded a lot over time, you can still smell it, "Someone has indeed torn it off. The smell on it is something I have never smelled before."
Wen Yuan reluctantly believed the prince's words, but she had a question, "Is this your handwriting?"
"That's right."
Wen Yuan frowned when she heard that someone's handwriting was so similar to hers. She asked again: "Have you been in contact with anyone these days?"
Have I been in contact with anyone... The prince thought for a while, "No, even the palace servants, I rarely leave the place where I live."
Then this is strange, how could anyone know that his handwriting was similar to his own, and then this confusing note happened to appear in the general's mansion.
