Ning Shu was at a loss for words. "Uh … no." If she still had some suspicions before Old Princess Consort Yu was exposed, then when she received this unexpected answer, her entire being was in a mess and her mind was in a mess.
Xiahou Qing curled the corner of his mouth and gave his response. Ning Shu instantly fell silent, and she lamented over her 'incompetence'.
Xiahou Qing could hear her speechlessness and the smile on his lips deepened. After a moment, he continued, "Do you think it's Old Princess Yu?"
Ning Shu thought for a moment and shook her head. "No."
"Do you still remember when we were investigating the Phoenix Terrace case, the Third Prince's trusted aide forged a letter from your father?"
"I remember. In addition, when Wei Yang Palace was selecting concubines, someone also forged a letter that was almost identical to His Highness's handwriting. Now that the truth is out, it was Old Princess Yu who ordered someone to do it. "
Xiahou Qing asked, "Even so, you still don't think it's her?"
Ning Shu pursed her lips and said quickly, "I can't give an accurate reason, it's just a feeling. From the moment I stepped out to expose her, to the moment Old Consort Yu committed suicide, I met her gaze many times. In her eyes, I saw coldness, nervousness, uneasiness, despair, relief … There were countless emotions, but I didn't see any hostility from the start. Unless she acted too well and didn't let me find out. But since she wanted to die, why would she hide it? Whether it's from my feelings or the analysis of the motive, I feel that the person we have been looking for is not Old Princess Yu. "
Xiahou Qing said, "But, there must be some kind of secret relationship with her."
Ning Shu agreed with this point. "Yes. This poison is too special, even the previous Emperor died because of it. It's impossible for too many people to be involved in such a big mystery. So, if we continue to investigate Old Princess Yu, we should be able to find some clues. "
But the problem came back. Old Princess Yu's corpse was in Zhao Bin's hands. And His Majesty's attitude just now clearly showed that he was very secretive about the plum blossom kiss. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given such a verbal order. The water here was too muddy. Aiyaya, it was really a headache.
Xiahou Qing silently turned the bones in his palm a few times, then he raised his chin and signaled Ning Shu to follow him into the carriage. "Let's go."
"Eh? Where are we going? "
Xiahou Qing calmly said, "Hui Mo hasn't played horse play for a while, don't you think so?"
Being called out for no reason, Hui Mo was confused. "Huh?"
Ning Shu was also surprised for a moment, then she immediately reacted. She curved her eyes and revealed a sly smile. "Yes, I haven't played for a long time, so I'm really itching. The three of us can't sit at the same table, so we have to disturb Prince Ke and ask him to fill in the vacancy."
Although Old Consort Yu's corpse was in Zhao Bin's hands, but for such a big matter like the burial of Old Consort Yu, there would definitely be people from the Ministry of Rites helping to arrange it. And wasn't Prince Ke the head of the Ministry of Rites? It was really embarrassing to have to trouble him again.
A few miles away, Prince Ke, who was lying in Xiao Hong Yan's arms and eating grapes, suddenly felt an itch at the tip of his nose and he sneezed loudly. He got up in confusion and looked at the closed window and the crack of the door. Eh? There was not a single gust of wind coming in, but why did he feel a gloomy chill, as if he was being watched by someone?
He suddenly shuddered. 'Not good, not good, this is very bad.'
