Chapter 1,404
Ling Yu turned her back to everyone, blocking everyone's sight. As soon as her hand touched Pei Yu's pulse, she saw Pei Yu quickly opened his eyes, blinked at her, and then closed his eyes.
Ling Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Yu was fine, so the injury was fake.
Ling Yu's mind was spinning rapidly, and without stopping, she opened Pei Yu's clothes and took a look to know what was going on.
Pei Yu stabbed the surface of his chest by himself and did not hurt the inside. It looked very dangerous from the outside, but in fact it was not dangerous.
Ling Yu still pretended to bandage up Pei Yu quickly, and said thankfully: "General Pei is lucky, his heart was not injured. If it were a little off, I wouldn't be able to save him!"
Xiao Lintian was worried about Pei Yu's injuries and kept standing nearby. He also saw that Pei Yu was not injured, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
On his face, he pretended to be angry and cursed: "This killer is too arrogant. He dares to commit murder in the palace. I will not let him off lightly!"
"Zhao Xuan, let General Shi search the palace immediately. We must catch the killer!"
King Kang was furious. He originally wanted to catch an adulterer, but if Xiao Lintian determined the nature to be an assassination, wouldn't the mother-in-law's plan be completely in vain?
Even if we can't catch the traitor today, we still have to put Ling Yu and Pei Yu to death and silence them, so that Xiao Lintian is completely without these two capable helpers.
King Kang said grimly: "Your Majesty, what other killer should we catch? Isn't the killer General Pei?"
"The body of the sixth princess is still lying here! There is no one else in the room except General Pei. Could it be that General Pei killed the sixth princess and deliberately stabbed himself to get away with it?"
An Zhe couldn't bear it and angrily said: "Prince Kang, it was clearly a killer who stabbed General Pei, and then killed the Sixth Princess to blame him! How can you talk nonsense and slander General Pei at will?"
King Kang glared at An Zhe and sneered: "Prince An, you have a good relationship with General Pei, so of course you will speak for him!"
"But killing the Sixth Princess is a serious crime. How can you help him get over it with just one word?"
"Ask the officials present, are they convinced?"
Mr. Wang immediately said: "Pei Yu committed a murder, and there are all witnesses and physical evidence. Prince An, if you don't have evidence, don't even think about clearing his name!"
"Witness? Just relying on the words of a palace maid, does it count as a witness?"
An Zhe shot back: "Who knows if she was bribed by someone to deliberately frame General Pei!"
Officials from the two factions were quarreling with each other. Xiao Lintian roughly guessed what was going on, and he shouted: "Shut up!"
All the officials immediately did not dare to argue anymore.
Xiao Lintian said sternly: "The killer needs to be caught and the case needs to be investigated. Can you solve the problem by making noise?"
"Come here, please tell me that the case will be investigated overnight tonight. No one is allowed to leave the palace until the case is investigated!"
"Lu Qing, go and ask Prince Cheng to come over!"
Prince Cheng, Lao Houye and other senior ministers did not participate in the writing activity, so they all gathered together to chat.
Previously, when Prince Kang and others suspected that the Crown Princess and Pei Yu had a private meeting in Yaohua Pavilion, someone went to report it to Prince Cheng, who then came over with the old Marquis and other senior ministers.
As soon as he arrived at Yaohua Pavilion, he heard Xiao Lintian's order, and Prince Cheng stepped forward with a sullen face.
A good New Year's Eve banquet also led to a murder, which made Prince Cheng's mood not beautiful at all. Can't he be more at ease?
"Prince Cheng, this case will be handed over to you!"
Xiao Lintian glanced at the officials present with his sharp eyes and said sternly: "Until the case is heard clearly, anyone who dares to slander others will be punished as defamation!"
