Chapter 864
When Emperor Wu An saw the two of them helping Ling Yu, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise to give you three days!"
"After three days, if Ling Yu cannot save He An and prove her innocence! Then whoever pleads for her again will be guilty of the same crime as her!"
"Take it away! Send it to the sect's mansion for strict guarding!"
Xiao Lintian originally wanted to take Ling Yu back to Prince Yi's Mansion, but he never expected that Emperor Wu'an would give such an order.
He had already spoken for Ling Yu once, knowing that Emperor Wu An would not agree if he spoke again, so he remained silent.
Several Royal Forest Army soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Ling Yu, dragging her and Lingxuan out together.
Tao Zi was found by Cao Yi and was waiting outside.
Seeing Ling Yu being dragged away, Tao Zi moved forward impulsively, but was caught by Cao Yi.
Cao Yi reprimanded in a low voice in her ear: "What are you doing up there? Do you want them to take you away together? If you want to save Princess Yi, wouldn't it be more helpful if you stay outside?"
Only then did Tao Zi stop, and she rubbed her temples.
She and Ling Yu hadn't walked far apart when she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then she fell to the ground within a few steps.
When she woke up, she found that she was stuffed behind the rockery. She thought about Ling Yu and went out to look for someone, only to be discovered by Cao Yi.
She still feels groggy and has double visions of people she sees.
Ling Yu was taken away.
The emperor comforted Queen Wei for a few words and then left with Eunuch Xie.
Concubine Shao followed and left.
Queen Wei cried for a while before asking the palace maid to call someone to take Chang Ning's body back to Prince Wei's Mansion.
He Zhu glanced at Xiao Lintian bitterly, hugged He An and left.
Three days later, if Ling Yu cannot save He An, he will definitely ask the emperor for permission and chop off Ling Yu's head with his own hands!
Everyone dispersed, and only Xiao Lintian and Prince Cheng remained at the scene.
"Prince Cheng, could we have overlooked something? I believe Ayu will not lie to us!" Xiao Lintian said directly.
Prince Cheng nodded. He had handled countless cases in his life and knew Ling Yu well.
Even if Ling Yu had a grudge against Chang Ning, she would not choose to kill people in the palace!
"Let's assume that Ling Yu didn't lie! Then how could she not have any clues when she knocked down three men in black?"
Prince Cheng said, "Go in and have a look again!"
Prince Cheng took the lead, and the two went in to take a closer look.
Prince Cheng had looked over just now, but he didn't see the damaged chair that Ling Yu mentioned.
Xiao Lintian believed in Prince Cheng's fairness, but he was still worried that Prince Cheng had been negligent.
Xiao Lintian observed carefully and saw the water stain.
Ling Yu said that she was waterboarded by the men in black, and the water stains should have been left at that time.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Lintian also checked the roof. Although Yonghe Palace was abandoned, the roof was still in good condition!
Then this can't be water stains left by rain leaks!
Xiao Lintian walked over and squatted down to take a closer look. The light was too dark to see clearly.
"Zhao Xuan, bring me the fire certificate!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan took out the fire stick in his arms, lit it and brought it to Xiao Lintian.
Xiao Lintian took a photo of the water stain and saw some tiny sawdust.
"Zhao Xuan, look, are these sawdust?"
Xiao Lintian was worried that he would be dazzled by what he saw, so he asked Zhao Xuan to look at it for him.
Zhao Xuan looked at it carefully and picked out a few small fragments. The two of them got under the fire folding box to see that they were indeed sawdust.
"Ling Yu was right, there is indeed a damaged chair in this hall! These wood chips are the remains of the broken chair!"
Xiao Lintian sneered: "So there are more than three men in black in Yonghe Palace. At least there are people behind to help them clean up the scene!"
"That man moved the broken chair and took away the three men in black, trying to create the illusion that Ling Yu was lying!"
