Su Qingyu was shocked and tried her best to recall what happened last night in her mind, trying to find any clues to Su Qingxue's murder.
"It would be too rash for Mr. Zhuang to take away the king's concubine just based on the words of a maid."
Su Qingyu stopped in front of Lu Yuncheng.
The other party named her as the one who killed Su Qingxue, so until now, Lu Yuncheng had better not get involved as much as possible.
Lu Yuncheng didn't know what she was thinking, so how could he be willing to let her face it alone.
If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have been involved in this situation.
Lu Yuncheng held Su Qingyu's hand tightly and refused to leave.
Su Qingyu had no choice but to let him go.
Then, with Zhuang Zhou's increasingly tight brows, she finished explaining the process of sending Su Qingxue away.
"Princess Ling means that in order not to let those killers notice, you only asked Princess An to go back to the city to bring in reinforcements, and you yourself escaped on horseback while others were not paying attention?"
Su Qingyu nodded: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"Princess An and I left one after another. There will always be someone who can move into the city faster to rescue the troops."
"Just after I rushed into the city, I saw Lord Zhuang rushing out of the city with a large number of guards. I thought it was Princess An who reported the case first, so I hurried back to the house to wait for my prince to come back."
"You even sent me the news about Princess An's death. How could you be the murderer of Princess An?"
Zhuang Zhou's expression did not change: "The person who accused you of murder is Princess An's personal maid, so I have to go to Princess Ling and the lower officials."
"A trip? Going to your Jingzhao Mansion?"
Zhuang Zhou looked at Su Qingyu who was asking questions knowingly, and could only glance at Lu Yuncheng.
Of course he knew that Su Qingxue was definitely not killed by Su Qingyu, but he still had to do enough on the surface.
But at present, it seems that Su Qingyu still doesn't know that there is actually a close relationship between him and Lu Yuncheng.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuncheng only had Su Qingyu in his eyes. Not to mention giving him a hint by looking at him, he didn't even give him a glance.
Zhuang Zhou had no choice but to patiently persuade Su Qingyu.
"Princess An's personal maid was the only witness when Princess An was killed. According to her testimony, the official will naturally take you to Jingzhao Yamen to record a confession in order to comply with the normal procedures."
Su Qingyu sneered: "Master Zhuang's method and efficiency of doing things are really hard to agree with."
Since Zhuang Zhou provoked something he shouldn't have said in front of her, of course she wouldn't be polite to him.
"I know Mr. Zhuang has a high official position and is very busy with affairs. He may not be able to cover everything. But you have to give us a little bit of the results of the case, right?"
Facing Su Qingyu's rhetorical question, Zhuang Zhou almost forgot that he was the chief judge of the case.
"Not to mention anything else, how many times have our husband and wife been assassinated in the past few months? In which case has the real murderer been brought to justice?"
"Moreover, should we take control of the public security in the capital? If this continues, one day our husband and wife will be killed and die on the street. Mr. Zhuang may not be able to rush to collect our bodies before the bodies are cold, right?"
"Now you want to take me to Jingzhao Mansion just based on the words of a maid? Have you never doubted whether the maid's words are credible? Or is that maid the real murderer of Princess An?"
Zhuang Zhou was overwhelmed by Su Qingyu's words.
Doesn't he know that he has made almost no achievements in the past year, and has been conscientiously concealing the truth for their Majesty, almost deviating from the true mission and responsibility of a governor.
But today, he had to go through the necessary procedures first, so that he could go to His Majesty to stabilize His Majesty, or think of a way to separate the couple from this matter.
Unexpectedly, they were not willing to cooperate at all.
"Princess Ling, if you don't want to go to Jingzhao Mansion, that's fine, but you must first have evidence to prove your innocence. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to handle the case according to your wishes."
Su Qingyu crossed her arms and looked at Zhuang Zhou with disdain and said: "Whoever advocates it will give evidence."
"Since Hongmei has identified me as the murderer of Princess An, she must provide evidence that I killed Princess An! Otherwise, I will not follow you on this blind trip."
Zhuang Zhou was so choked by Su Qingyu's words that he couldn't say a word.
Since he took up the post of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, this was the first time that someone used remarks he had never heard before and made him speechless.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou was speechless, Su Qingyu softened her tone again: "Please understand, Mr. Zhuang, it's not that I won't cooperate with you in investigating the case, but that once I go to Jingzhao Mansion, even if our husband and wife are innocent, Who can believe it?"
"Master Zhuang, don't be too embarrassed. Just convey what I said today directly to His Majesty. If His Majesty has any doubts, he will naturally summon us and my wife."
After a few words, Zhuang Zhou could only make a sad face and left Prince Ling's Mansion dejectedly.
Su Qingyu, on the other hand, made eye contact with Lu Yun for a moment and immediately decided to go to Prince An's Mansion.
Whether it was because they were both at the scene last night or because Su Qingyu was her concubine, she had to make this trip.
What's more, she still had something to ask Prince An.
Unexpectedly, just after he walked out of the gate of Prince Ling's Mansion, Emperor Ming sent someone to announce Lu Yuncheng's entry into the palace.
Su Qingyu nodded towards him: "Don't worry, your Majesty may have to ask me to enter the palace later.
Lu Yuncheng put on her hood: "Let Mingyue follow, and everything must be done with your own safety first."
"I know."
Lu Yuncheng and Su Qingyu got into two carriages and headed in different directions.
When Su Qingyu arrived at the gate of Prince An's Mansion, she saw that white lanterns had been hung on the gate of Prince An's Mansion, and white cloth strips were tied around the waists of the servants.
Su Qingyu came to pay homage, and she was Su Qingxue's sister-in-law, so she entered Prince An's Mansion almost unimpeded.
When he arrived at the mourning hall, King An was sitting on the steps of the corridor, his head hanging down and not knowing what he was thinking.
"I didn't expect His Highness Prince An to be someone who was courting Qin Muchu, but when Princess An died, he was so sad..."
Caiwei, who accompanied Su Qingyu, saw such a scene and was immediately moved.
However, Su Qingyu didn't think so: "Are you sad? It doesn't look like it to me."
Hearing the noise, Wang An slowly raised his head. The moment he saw Su Qingyu, his originally depressed eyes suddenly brightened a lot.
He immediately got up from the ground and quickly came to stand in front of Su Qingyu.
"Qingyu, why are you here?"
Su Qingyu didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so she got straight to the point: "Su Qingxue died for no reason, and I was also accused of killing her for no reason. If I didn't come over to see the situation, I might still be waiting to be continued. Framed?"
King An's eyes widened, and it seemed that it took him a long time to regain his consciousness: "Who slandered you for killing Qingxue?"
Seeing that Wang An's surprised look didn't look like he was faking it, Su Qingyu kindly told her, "Su Qingxue's personal maid, Hongmei."
"It's actually her?"
Wang An seemed to be hesitant and suspicious, and his eyes when looking at Su Qingyu were not as firm as at first.
Especially when he thought about last night's discovery that Su Qingyu knew martial arts, and the old and new grudges between her and Su Qingxue, it was hard not to doubt that she was not the murderer...
With such slowness and performance, how could Su Qingyu not know what he was thinking.
"What? Your Highness Prince An also suspects that I killed your beloved wife, right?"
