King An immediately waved his hands, and then asked the guards behind him to send all the servants away. The mourning hall suddenly became quiet, adding a bit of a strange atmosphere.
"Qingyu, it's not that I doubt you, but this is all too coincidental."
"Qingxue is dead, along with my unborn child. This incident has hit me hard, and I cannot allow myself not to think too much about it."
"But don't worry, although I know that you are good at martial arts, I also know that you will not take advantage of others' danger to kill Qingxue."
King An's tone suddenly became much firmer: "I believe you are not the murderer."
It's rare that King An still has some brains, so Su Qingyu can finally explain a few less sentences.
"Qingyu, don't worry, I will keep the secret about your martial arts skills secret for you and won't reveal any of it!"
Su Qingyu sneered and said, "Did His Highness Prince An get it wrong? I am a prostitute and my body has not been very good since I was a child. How can I know any kung fu?"
King An chuckled: "I understand! I was wrong. Qingyu, you don't know martial arts at all."
"Qingyu, you and I are childhood sweethearts. Now only you and I know this secret. I will definitely keep it for you!"
Faced with Wang An who was so indifferent but still felt good about himself, Su Qingyu was almost furious.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
She turned around and walked towards the mourning hall, and walked straight to the coffin.
Looking at Su Qingxue lying in the coffin, Su Qingyu felt mixed feelings in her heart.
Su Qingxue framed him several times and wanted to kill her. Of course she would not be so kind as to feel sad for a woman like Su Qingxue. She just lamented that she had treated Su Qingxue lightly for the sake of Su Qingxue's innocent child, but she didn't expect that she still didn't escape death.
Su Qingxue just lay quietly in the coffin, her eyes closed tightly, and there were still blood stains on the corners of her mouth and the clothes she was wearing.
"Qingyu! What are you going to do?"
Just as she raised her hand to reach into the coffin to check the cause of Su Qingxue's death, she was stopped by King An.
"I know that you and Qingxue have been grudges for a long time, but Qingxue is dead now, so let the past pass and don't resent her anymore."
Su Qingyu almost laughed out of anger at him: "What else do you think I can do to a dead man?"
King An was stunned: "Then you are..."
"No matter how you feel about Su Qingxue, she will always be your true concubine. Based on this, Your Highness Prince An, don't you want to find out the truth behind this? Find out who killed her?"
"Or is it that His Highness Prince An is happy that he has escaped such a trouble, so he can wait with peace of mind for the murderer to continue his plan, and then customize you as his next target?"
King An's face immediately turned pale with fright.
In just a few days, he lost his mother and concubine. If he said he was not sad, it would be a lie.
He just thought of many things and let go of many things at the moment when he almost died last night, so that he could feel less anxious.
But now that Su Qingyu reminded him, he suddenly woke up.
It's no use just for him to think through and let go of many things.
Because the other party will definitely not think so.
"Qingyu, you know who killed Qingxue, right?"
An expression of worry and fear began to appear on King An's face, and he murmured: "Who on earth...who wants to kill me?"
Su Qingyu ignored it and motioned Caiwei to go to the backyard with her eyes, while she inspected Su Qingxue's body carefully.
Su Qingxue's death was not caused by any technique, but by falling from a height.
This is indeed more in line with her behavior of using this method to kill people without knowing martial arts.
The butler on the side was trembling with fear, shocked by Su Qingyu's almost anti-customer behavior, and surprised that his master did not express any objection.
"The cause of Princess An's death has not yet been clarified, and the murderer has not been found. Why was her body not placed in Jingzhao Mansion but sent back to Prince An's Mansion?"
The housekeeper trembled. For some reason, the woman in front of him was clearly still Princess Ling, but he just didn't dare to look directly into her eyes.
"Replying to Princess Ling, it was His Majesty who personally issued the imperial edict. His Majesty said that the Princess has a noble status and is pregnant with the emperor's heir. Even if she dies, she should be given the dignity she deserves. So he sent someone to send the Princess back. It’s just that the case is not over yet, and the burial may have to be delayed for a few days.”
Su Qingyu understood.
When she saw Caiwei coming back in a hurry, she took her hand out of the coffin.
"Princess, I have asked someone. Everyone said that they have seen red plums today, but now they suddenly disappeared."
Su Qingyu gave Mingyue a look, and the other party immediately understood.
Since Hongmei identified her as the murderer of Su Qingxue, it can only mean that there must be someone behind her.
As long as Hongmei is found, she will be the only witness.
Things happened one after another, and it seemed that they were all arranged by the other party, waiting for her to walk into the trap step by step. This made Su Qingyu more and more eager to find the time traveler.
She understood that the other party must have guessed the fact that she was a time traveler, and also understood that their respective positions were opposite, so they hid in the dark so that she could not find it at all.
In other words, even if she went directly to Prince Qi's Mansion, she would definitely not see this person.
After Su Qingyu took Caiwei away from Prince An's Mansion, Mingyue, who had disappeared for a long time, immediately appeared.
"My subordinates searched the entire Prince An's Mansion, but did not find Princess An's maid Hongmei."
Su Qingyu sneered: "It seems that the other party has already taken Hongmei away. In order to prevent us from having any chance to change Hongmei's confession."
Caiwei was confused: "Princess, what should we do now?"
"wait."
Su Qingyu was sitting in front of the window, looking at the entrance of the arch, and after saying this word softly, she said nothing more.
Not long after, Su Qingyu found the person she expected.
A young eunuch stood at the entrance of the archway and read out the decree of Emperor Ming announcing that she should come to the palace to pay an audience.
Su Qingyu stood up, wrapped her cloak more tightly, and entered the palace with Mingyue.
There is still a tough battle to be fought in the palace.
She couldn't relax even a little bit so that the other party could take advantage of her!
She must take this opportunity to find out the person behind this!
The situation in the palace at that time was similar to what she had imagined.
Emperor Ming didn't believe Lu Yuncheng's explanation at all, but instead doubted his intentions.
Su Qingyu just saluted and glanced at the people present, she was able to guess the Ming Emperor's thoughts.
He must be brooding over what happened five years ago, so not only did he not believe that Lu Yuncheng and she were innocent, he even felt that the assassination was directed and acted by Lu Yuncheng.
For, of course, it was the East Palace that no one had ever occupied.
