Upon hearing the noise above, the three of them slowed down their breathing and listened.
"Sister, do we have to come here to meet each other in the middle of the night? It's dark here and there are few people. It's scary!"
The first voice sounded very childish, as if she was just a girl, while the second voice sounded much more mature, and she should be the "Sister" she called her.
"Nonsense, how can we meet when there are so many people! Come on, eat quickly. These are the snacks I secretly took from the imperial kitchen today, only two pieces."
"Thank you, sister. Well...it's great to be a king. I can eat such delicious snacks every day!"
"Actually... His Majesty is also working very hard. He is worried about the empty treasury every day. When I came out from shift, he hadn't rested yet."
"Ah, it turns out that His Majesty is also worried? Let me tell you, Princess Jin Ling went too far. She just ran away. She actually sneaked in and looted the treasure pavilion without leaving any bit for Your Majesty. How could she do that? That's it! By the way, sister, I heard before that the prime minister donated all his family property to the national treasury, isn't that enough?"
"You're crazy! Shut up, how can you mention Jin——she in the palace!?... Hey, the prime minister has been honest all his life. Even if he donated all his family property, it's not much, not even a drop in the bucket... Okay Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. You eat quickly, and we go back as soon as we’re done! I can only come out for a short while, and the grandma on duty will order someone later.”
After the "sister" said this, the rustling sounds above obviously sped up a lot. In less than a cup of tea, they heard footsteps disappearing and the palace door being closed again. the sound of.
After confirming that there was no movement at the top, Chu Qi and the others climbed out quickly.
"Come on, let's go back first and then discuss this matter!"
Lu Xiaofeng said.
——————
The return journey was as smooth as the infiltration, and they were back in the inn room in less than half an hour.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Xiaofeng started pouring tea into her mouth, and Chu Qi also asked the question she had been holding back all the time.
"Is it really Princess Jinling who emptied the treasure pavilion?"
"If everything Princess Jinling told us is true, it must not be her."
The person who answered Chu Qi was Hua Manlou. After entering the room, he first wiped all the dust off his body, and then threw a square towel to Lu Xiaofeng and asked him to wipe all the footprints on the window frame.
"Why?"
"Oh, stupid! Princess Jinling's story is that when she and Chalajiaru escaped, the entire palace was surrounded by Prince Jinzhong and the Prime Minister's troops. They had to fight to the death to escape!"
"Then before she decided to go to the Central Plains to look for Zhu Ting, she also heard that King Jinzhong had inspected the secret room first, and then she sneaked into the palace and stole the key."
"So, Chu Qi, if you think about it, you can guess how many treasures there used to be just by looking at the dozens of rows of shelves in the treasure pavilion, and the main purpose of Princess Jinling is to get the keys. So, in order to sneak in smoothly, She will definitely not bring too many people into the palace."
"In this case, how can she escape the guards and remove hundreds of treasures in one night? If she had this ability, she would not be defeated by her brother on the day she ascended the throne."
"I see!"
After listening to Lu Xiaofeng's explanation, Chu Qi suddenly realized:
"So it was actually King Jinling who emptied the treasure trove himself and then put the blame on Princess Jinling!"
"That's not the case. I prefer that a third party emptied the treasure pavilion."
"I agree with Lu Xiaofeng's idea. On the seventh day of the lunar month, you also saw the temper of King Jinzhong in the hall that day. He is a completely willful child. He just thinks out what he thinks without considering the consequences. How can such a selfish person It will be performed in front of a maid. Therefore, if the maid said that she saw the King of Admiralty being sad, it is most likely true."
After hearing their analysis, Chu Qi felt that his CPU was almost burned out.
She was quite good at making clothes, but asking her to analyze clues in the case was really not something she was good at. In this matter, Chu Qi could only do her best to help them eliminate wrong answers.
"Actually, I think that prime minister is quite suspicious. One of him and his son assists the prince, and the other helps the princess. Maybe they are betting on both ends."
"Huh? But didn't the maid say that he has been honest all his life?"
"Chu Qi, you are too naive. If he had been honest all his life, he would not have such a magnificent mansion... Moreover, we still haven't figured out who the first batch of dead soldiers were. Maybe it’s his?”
"It's useless to talk more. Why don't we use the name of handling goods tomorrow to investigate this contradictory prime minister!"
After making the decision, everyone dispersed and prepared to go back to rest.
