Such a person is actually an official of the DPRK and China, which makes people wonder, does he have the brains to handle his errands well?
A thought flashed through Emperor Zhaoming's mind.
On the surface, he remained calm: "Anping, please continue."
"Yes." Xiao Lingyue responded and was about to speak.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the palace: "His Royal Highness has arrived!"
Xiao Lingyue stopped temporarily, and the important officials in the palace also turned their heads to look.
The prince hurried in and saluted Emperor Zhaoming: "I have met my father."
"Why did the prince come here suddenly?" Emperor Zhaoming asked.
"My son heard that the grievance drum was being beaten at the palace gate, and he was worried that something had happened, so he rushed over to take a look." The prince said frankly, his eyes swept across the people in the palace, paused slightly at Xiao Lingyue, and quickly looked away.
"Father, what happened? Why are all the adults in the palace?"
Emperor Zhaoming rubbed his brows and said: "Marquis Shen Wu died suddenly and the cause of death is unknown. Shen Zhijiang avenged his father and accused Shen Wan, the lord of Anping County, of killing his biological grandfather. The case is very involved, so I asked them to come and observe."
"What? Lord Shen actually..." The prince was shocked and couldn't believe it.
But soon, the prince looked serious: "This is a major case. I wonder how my father's investigation is going?"
"I just let Anping enter the palace, and we are still questioning." Emperor Zhaoming waved his hand and said, "Since the prince is here, let's listen together."
"Yes, Father." The prince stepped aside and looked at Xiao Lingyue.
Xiao Lingyue and the prince looked at each other in the air.
She lowered her eyes and continued: "After I severed ties with the Shen family, I left the Shen Mansion. I have been living in the inn for the past two days and have never been to the Shen family, so I have no idea about the sudden death of Mr. Shen. Affection."
Shen Zhijiang said sternly: "It's full of nonsense! It was you, a beast, who killed the old man. How dare you lie in front of His Majesty?!"
Xiao Lingyue: "What I said is all the truth."
Shen Zhijiang roared angrily: "Kill someone to pay for your life. Your Majesty is here. I want you to pay for your life for me!" He was so excited that his roar was deafening, and his face was filled with deep hatred.
Emperor Zhaoming's face darkened: "Quiet!"
The prince said: "Master Shen, the case is not clear yet. Please calm down your emotions and listen to Master Cui's question."
Shen Zhijiang knelt on the ground and took two steps, kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince, everything the minister said is true! My father died at the hands of this beast Shen Wan, I beg your Majesty to avenge my father's injustice!"
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes flashed with a hint of depression.
In front of several important ministers, Emperor Zhaoming said coldly: "If Mr. Shen really dies unexpectedly, I will naturally investigate to the end and never give him mercy!"
Shen Zhijiang shed tears and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The prince frowned slightly when he saw his reaction.
His father just said that he would not let go of the real culprit, but Shen Zhijiang was so excited...
Is he really convinced that the old Marquis died at the hands of "Shen Wan"?
Emperor Zhaoming: "Cui Li, please continue."
"Yes." Cui Li responded respectfully, and then asked Xiao Lingyue: "You have been staying at the inn these two days and have never been to Shen's house?"
Xiao Lingyue: "Yes."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"The maid Qingluo next to me, my son Beibei, as well as the innkeeper and waiter, they can all prove it."
Xiao Lingyue paused and then said: "After I left the Shen family, I first went to the mansion rewarded by His Majesty, and met His Royal Highness King Yi and the Crown Prince by chance. It was King Yi who sent a carriage to take me to the inn."
Cui Li was shocked and couldn't help but look at Emperor Zhaoming and the prince.
Emperor Zhaoming frowned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" This chapter has been completed!
