Tong Qiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Li Man'er was scolding him.
"You...you are such a vicious woman."
"Am I evil? I really can't take it for granted. The young master has no witnesses and no physical evidence. Just because my uncle is a doctor who knows how to use poisons, he accuses me of murdering my father. This reason is too far-fetched."
The girl's eyes were clear, her temperament was extraordinary, and there was no trace of panic in her eyes.
Even the mistress of the house may not be able to stabilize the situation when encountering such a big event, but she is calm and composed, not at all like the idiot she was said to be like in the rumors.
Even Mrs. Cui didn't know what to say. If the Ninth Prince hadn't been there, she would have laughed out loud at Tong Qiao's words.
"Ahem, young master, this is not evidence." This is at best an inference.
Tong Qiao did not feel embarrassed, but said: "I haven't produced any evidence yet! Li Man'er, do you dare to let everyone search your house?"
"Young Master, be careful!" No matter how much Cui didn't want to see Li Man'er, there was no way she would agree to this ridiculous proposal. There was no reason why a woman's boudoir could be searched at will.
Tong Qiao was a little anxious and said quickly: "Old madam, this is a major matter related to the life of the Marquis. You must know that the Marquis is in danger. If we find the person who poisoned him in the morning, we can detoxify him as soon as possible. The Marquis is the leader of the country.
You must not be harmed by others without knowing it."
He said it so sincerely, as if Li Shu was his father, but there was no such thing as searching a girl's boudoir without any evidence. There is no such rule in the world.
Li Zhaoer was listening in the side room, grinning from ear to ear.
Li Man'er, let's see if you die this time.
"You can search as you say. I wonder if the young master is from the Ministry of Punishment or from Dali Temple?"
Li Man'er's voice suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were so deep that Tong Qiao's heart trembled. He couldn't help but think of the broken sword on Zuihu Tower.
"It's good to search."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Mrs. Cui was very surprised and looked at the Ninth Prince in surprise, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
Li Maner originally thought that this man would just sit on the sidelines and remain silent, but now it seems that she was wrong. He not only wanted to watch the fun, but also wanted to come in and get involved.
Li Man'er's almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and she couldn't help but glance at the Ninth Prince.
This noble man is the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor, with a total age difference of twenty-two years.
He was born in the twelfth lunar month. The weather was extremely cold that year and the snow fell particularly heavily. As soon as it dawned, the Queen Mother, who was still the Queen at the time, started to give birth. There were many dangers in giving birth at an advanced age, but no one expected it.
, the production process turned out to be very smooth, and in about half an hour, the Ninth Prince was born smoothly.
The moment he was born, there was a vision in the sky, hundreds of birds were chirping, the sky was as red as fire, and the clouds were like clouds. The late emperor had a son when he was forty-six years old, and seeing such a scene again, he was naturally happy in every possible way, waiting for him and him
The other princes are also very different.
It's not like a father doting on his son, but more like a grandfather doting on his grandson, the kind of doting that has no rules and no bottom line.
Qi Yihan has been very smart since he was a child, but he is lazy by nature and does not like to be bound by rules. He jumps up and down every day, like a monkey, and cannot bear his temper at all.
The late emperor said that he could not hold a pen, but even martial arts would be good for him, so he carefully selected several swordsman, horsemanship and archery masters with profound martial arts skills for him, and stayed in the palace to teach him carefully.
Qi Yihan was extremely talented in martial arts and learned it well. When he was less than ten years old, he was sent to the main tent by the late emperor and asked him to learn the art of war from several generals.
After Qi Yihan arrived in the army, he became even more lawless and ruthless, causing headaches for several generals.
It's just that the Ninth Prince, who was originally very lively, fell seriously ill for some unknown reason. He had a high fever and fainted for three days and three nights before he woke up.
After Qi Yihan woke up, his temperament changed drastically. He used to be lively and naughty, and his energy was a bit too much, but he was still not a bad person. After getting sick, he suddenly became taciturn and his personality was unstable.
He turned into a murderous and violent Ninth Prince...
There are countless legends about Qi Yihan in the capital. Some say that he once killed more than twenty people with a sword on a rainy night. Others say that he did many shady things for the emperor. Most of the good ministers and famous generals who were imprisoned were persecuted by him.
And die.
"My lord, are you meddling in other people's business, or are you helping others do evil?"
Li Man'er's words were not loud, but they frightened everyone present. Mrs. Cui's face turned pale, for fear that Qi Yihan would kill someone if he disagreed with her.
Li Zhaoer was also afraid, but she was more excited. She wished that the Ninth Prince had become crazy and strangled Li Zhaoer to death!
"You are very courageous."
"It's whatever the prince says." Li Man'er glanced at Tong Qiao, who was very proud, and ignored his villainous ambition, and only said: "It's not impossible for the prince and the young prince to search my residence, but it's just that
I have two requests."
Ah Qi raised her eyebrows in surprise. This Miss Li is really interesting. She actually dared to ask their prince for a request and get two in return. Are you really tired of living?
"Do you still have any demands?" Tong Qiao was furious. In his eyes, Li Man'er was no different from a dead person.
"Speak." The Ninth Prince was quite patient. Although there was no warmth between his brows and eyes, he still looked like a normal person.
"I also asked the prince to find a nun who knows the rules and etiquette to search my yard."
"Can."
"The second request is that if evidence of my murder of my father is found, I will let you do whatever you want and never say a word more." Li Man'er talked about the important matter of life and death calmly, with no trace of emotion in his eyes, "But if the search
If not, please give me an explanation."
Tong Qiao sneered, "An explanation? Li Man'er, why are you so shameless? What explanation do you want?"
Cui's face turned pale, and if Grandma Wang hadn't supported her, she might have been unable to stand.
As of now, it is no longer something she can interfere with.
"What did the young master say? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"
Qi Yihan seemed to glance at Li Man'er, and the corners of his lips trembled slightly, "What do you want to explain?"
"Although I have an engagement with the young master, we do not care for each other. On the contrary, we dislike each other. If my daughter is able to prove her innocence this time, please ask the prince to come forward and cancel the marriage on my behalf. From now on
Nothing to do with it anymore.”
Tong Qiao didn't expect that Li Man'er would actually make this request. He should have been happy, but for some reason, his heart felt a little bitter and a little angry.
"Okay, that's it."
Li Maner was very satisfied with the result. As long as he canceled the marriage, the next things would be much easier to handle.
"In that case, Your Majesty, please do as you please!"
