Following the sound, several important ministers in the palace looked solemn and turned to look.
A tall and slender figure appeared at the door of the palace and strode in. The sound of wind picked up the corners of his clothes as he walked, bringing with it a chilling tension.
Xiao Lingyue also looked back.
Zhan Beihan strode in, saluted Emperor Zhaoming on the dragon throne and said, "I have met my father."
Emperor Zhaoming's expression softened a bit: "Beihan, you're late."
Zhan Beihan said: "I went to check some things, so I entered the palace too late. Father, please forgive me."
The prince asked: "Third brother, you should know what happened, right?"
"I know." Zhan Beihan replied briefly, his eyes glanced at the witchcraft doll on the small table, and then looked at Xiao Lingyue.
Xiao Lingyue's whole body suddenly stood on end, and she had a bad feeling.
This man... is definitely not here to rescue her!
What does he want to do?
"Shen Wan, you said you didn't buy cinnabar at the drug store, but you bought other things, right?" Zhan Beihan asked coldly.
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
The prince looked at Zhan Beihan in surprise: "What else did she buy? How did you know?"
Zhan Beihan said: "I sent people to the inn to search the place where she lived and found some interesting things."
Xiao Lingyue: "..." Sure enough.
She knew that this man was here to cause trouble for her!
The prince asked in a deep voice: "What is it?"
Zhan Beihan took out something and threw it on the small table.
A pack of gleaming silver needles fell on the table, exactly the same as the silver needles stuck in the witchcraft doll.
"That's it!" Zhan Beihan said.
The prince suddenly took a breath of air and looked at Xiao Lingyue in disbelief: "Did you buy silver needles at the drug store?"
Wen Ge Lao and other important ministers also frowned.
Cui Li immediately asked: "Anping County Master, what's going on?" She only said that she went to the drug store to buy medicinal materials to treat injuries, but she never mentioned silver needles.
The veins on Xiao Lingyue's forehead twitched slightly: "I bought silver needles for a reason. My luggage was lost by the Shen family, and the commonly used golden needles were stolen by Grandma Li. I am a doctor and sometimes need acupuncture, so I go I bought a set at the drug store."
Cui Li doubted: "Then why didn't you say anything just now? Didn't you intentionally hide the clues?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "Just now, Mr. Cui just asked me about my two-day itinerary, and I answered truthfully. As for other details, you didn't ask, so I naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense."
Cui Li frowned, feeling wary in his heart.
He has seen many kinds of criminals, and there are many who are eloquent.
But even so, the Anping County Lord is the most difficult to deal with. Not only is he calm, but he is also very good at concealing things.
If His Highness Prince Yi hadn't sent someone to search the inn where she was staying, they wouldn't have known that she actually bought silver needles in the pharmacy...
It is said to be used for acupuncture.
But what a coincidence, the witchcraft doll is also pierced with this kind of silver needle.
Who knows what she bought it for?
The suspicion became a little stronger.
Xiao Lingyue saw the suspicion in Cui Li's eyes, and she said helplessly: "Master Cui, when you asked me, the witchcraft doll had not been found yet, and I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
"Once or twice is a coincidence, but three or four times is different."
Cui Li stared at her: "Don't you think, County Lord, that there are too many coincidences in you?"
