Chen Yutian put away the summons in his hand.
There was a faint smile on his face and he looked very happy.
Beside him, Xuan Xi, Gongsun, Xue Tianhan, Ling Miaoyin, and Tang Fengling all looked curious. They didn't know what Huo Yuanji said to make him so happy.
"Is there any good news from Yuanji?" Xue Tianhan looked at Chen Yutian and asked.
Chen Yutian looked at everyone, nodded slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "There is indeed good news. They met Ling Fei outside the royal city."
Hearing this, Xue Tianhan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gongsun frowned slightly.
A look of surprise flashed across Xuan Xi's face. "Oh? This is a good thing. Now that we have found Ling Fei, we can know what happened to the cold palace fire."
Chen Yutian nodded, "Not bad."
Gongsun frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Did Huo Yuanji say where he met Ling Fei?"
Chen Yutian said: "It is said to be in a beast temple outside the city."
After he finished speaking, Gongsun's brows furrowed even more tightly, "It's a bit strange. If, as we speculated, Concubine Ling's disappearance was actually taken away secretly, then in order to prove her guilt, the other party should try to find ways to make her It’s better not to show up again. Only in this way can public opinion be completely in the hands of those who care and avoid unexpected deviations.”
Xue Tianhan nodded, "Yes, this is indeed the best choice. And I think the other party should do the same. But things don't seem to develop according to the other party's expectations."
"And this is a fatal mistake!" Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
"Not bad." Gongsun also smiled slightly.
Xue Tianhan also smiled and nodded.
The remaining three women were confused as they watched the three people acting in unison.
"What riddles are you making again?" Xuan Xi sighed, "Can you make it clearer?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "According to Gongsun's analysis, after the other party caused the cold palace fire, Ling Fei should disappear in public view. What do you think is the best way to achieve this goal?"
Tang Fengling thought for a moment, "What's the best way... Of course, kill her directly, then destroy her body and make her disappear completely."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly stagnated!
silence!
Deathly silence instantly filled the entire room.
Everyone looked at her strangely.
Xuan Xi and Ling Miaoyin looked at Tang Fengling with almost frightened eyes.
"Ahem..." Chen Yutian wiped his cold sweat, "This is indeed a method, but obviously it is not the one adopted by the other party."
"Yeah..." Gongsun also agreed, but he was muttering in his heart, why didn't he find this girl so cruel before?
"Although this is indeed a method, as a daughter, is it really appropriate to say such cruel words in an indifferent tone?" Xuan Xi sighed.
Ling Miaoyin was also a little speechless.
On the contrary, Xue Tianhan thought about it seriously and said, "If we talk about the best choice, killing her is indeed the safest."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian quickly winked at Xue Tianhan - Brother Xue, enough is enough.
I don’t know if Xue Tianhan saw his hint and continued: “However, considering that the purpose of their actions is to frame Concubine Ling, if Concubine Ling dies and there is no one to frame them for, then there will be nothing left to frame them. It makes sense.”
After saying this, Chen Yucai breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing Tang Fengling think about it for a while, she said again: "But if you kill her, you can die without any evidence. Wouldn't this make the charges of framing her more solid?"
"That's true." Chen Yutian wiped his sweat again and said, "But have you ever thought that once there are flaws in some details and the framed charges cannot be proven, it will be Is it better for the framed person to die or for the framed person to plead guilty?"
"If that flaw is enough to reverse the entire case, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two."
"No. Even if the clues are really enough to change the direction of the entire case, as long as the suspect takes the initiative to confess his crime and confesses to the crime, even if there are clues, in many cases, it will be in vain." Chen Yutian shook his head, "After all, the murderer is I have already confessed my guilt.”
"How is this possible?" Tang Fengling said in disbelief, "Even if the murderer himself has confessed, but since we have important clues, shouldn't we continue to investigate?"
"If it's us, this is natural." Chen Yutian nodded, and then changed the subject, "But what if we didn't come to the Barbarian Country and didn't interfere in the affairs here?"
"This..." Tang Fengling was stunned.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer this question.
If they had not intervened in this matter, then the moment the framed concubine Ling confessed her crime, her life would have basically come to an end.
After all, we can know from the previous situation before they came to the barbarian country. With the ability of the government here, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky to find the key evidence that can reverse the case.
Even if they are, there is no such evidence among the evidence they have found so far.
"But how could Concubine Ling be so stupid as to admit those framed charges?"
Chen Yutian smiled, "Of course it's impossible under normal circumstances. But what if the other party holds enough chips to make her change her mind?"
Tang Fengling's eyes lit up, "What do you mean..."
"Will the other party use something to force Concubine Ling to submit?" Xuan Xi continued, squinting her eyes slightly and thinking for a while, then said, "Could it be Lang Yue?"
Chen Yutian clapped his hands and smiled slightly, "Yes, I think it should be her, and this may be one of the reasons why the other party designed Jieli to put Lang Yue under house arrest."
"You mean... they might still use Long Yue to threaten Concubine Ling?" Ling Miaoyin thought for a while.
Chen Yutian nodded and corrected, "It's not possible, but certain. Their original plan has come to nothing with Concubine Ling's escape, but it's not without a remedy."
Tang Fengling narrowed her eyes slightly, "The remedy? Could it be..."
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "It's just what you think. Even if the other party is me, since I have such a useful bargaining chip on hand, of course I have to make good use of it."
Gongsun also nodded slightly, "Indeed, it seems that the next move of the Imperial Master should be here... But, what should we do? Stop it?"
Chen Yutian shook his head, "It's impossible to stop them. In my opinion, we might as well use their tricks to see what they are going to do. With so many actions, it can't be as simple as framing Ling Fei. We can only use their tricks and follow the clues, Only then can we find out what their ultimate goal is. In addition, there is a person, and it’s time for us to visit him.”
Xue Tianhan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is it?"
Chen Yutian grinned, showing a meaningful smile.
"The maid beside the eldest princess."
Hearing this, Xuan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? The eldest princess's maid, is there anything wrong with this person?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "I suspect she is also one of the participants in these actions!!"
"Oh?" Gongsun was surprised, "Why do you say that?"
"Didn't we let Taigong identify the scent of the cherry blossom flower before?" Chen Yutian suddenly changed the subject.
Ling Miaoyin nodded, confused, "Yes, but hasn't Taigong already confirmed that the aroma he smelled at the scene that day was the aroma of cherry blossoms? And it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you said. Bar?"
Chen Yutian shook his head, "No, there is a strong connection. Do you still remember that when the Eighth Princess disappeared, the maid outside her door said she smelled a strange fragrance at the door of the palace?"
Xuan Xi thought for a while, "That seems to be the case. Do you suspect that it is also the fragrance of cherry blossoms?"
Chen Yutian nodded, "That's what I thought at first, but after I smelled the fragrance of cherry blossoms to the palace maid, she told me that the fragrance she smelled was not that kind."
Gongsun frowned, "In other words, what she smelled was not the fragrance of cherry blossoms?"
Chen Yutian said: "Not bad."
"Then what kind of aroma did she smell?" Tang Fengling wondered.
"This has something to do with the person we are going to visit." Chen Yutian smiled.
Xuan Xi was surprised, "That maid? How could it be related to her?"
Chen Yutian looked at Xuan Xi, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "In fact, before this, I had passed her and the eldest princess in the corridor. At that time, I was on that maid's body, I smelled a strange aroma.”
"Oh?"
Chen Yutian thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "It seems that it is not accurate to say it is body fragrance. I think that kind of strange fragrance is more like emitted by a specific body, because after I smelled that strange fragrance, The dark dragon energy in the body has rare fluctuations."
"What? You said that fragrance touched your dark dragon energy?" Xuan Xi was shocked.
She had to be surprised by this. Dark Dragon Power is another manifestation of Long Zhan's internal power. It was originally merged into one when Chen Yutian advanced to the Gangqi separation, but before facing Weisu Liu San When he was a child, Chen Yu genius discovered that this inner force did not seem to be integrated, but was greatly improved along with Long Zhan's inner force, and could only be stimulated when he was full of murderous intent in his heart.
There is no other way.
But before, the moment he smelled the fragrance of the maid, the hidden dark dragon power was passively triggered. This was something that Chen Yutian was a little unbelievable at the time.
"So, there is indeed something wrong with this maid." Gongsun touched his chin and spoke slowly.
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Of course. If it wasn't like this, I wouldn't have to ask to visit her."
Xuan Xi frowned slightly and said, "But even so, how should we investigate this situation? We can't just ask directly, right?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "This is natural, but I have my own solution for this matter."
After speaking, he showed a slightly meaningful smile.
Seeing him like this, Xuan Xi smiled helplessly.
"Well, since you already know it, I don't need to bother myself." Xuan Xi smiled faintly, "But I want to go with you."
Chen Yutian frowned and was about to speak when he saw Xuan Xi staring at him with wide eyes - refusing to refuse.
With a wry smile, Chen Yutian nodded helplessly.
