Yu Wenhao told the story of how he solved the case, but concealed the fact that Yuan Qingling performed the autopsy and someone reported on Zhou Zhi's whereabouts.
It's not that he wants to deprive Yuan Qingling of his contribution, but because Prince Ji is here, he doesn't want Prince Ji to know that Yuan Qingling was involved in this case.
As for the whistleblower, he still needs to investigate and cannot inform the emperor yet.
When King Ji heard that the murderer was called Zhou Zhi, his expression became blank.
Emperor Ming Yuan greatly praised Yu Wenhao. His heart was filled with hatred, but on his face he still expressed his appreciation with relief.
He had no intention of practicing calligraphy with Emperor Ming Yuan. He left the palace angrily and went straight to Princess Ji's house.
Princess Ji had just taken medicine and was lying on the bed. When she saw him coming in angrily, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with the prince?"
Prince Ji stared at her, "Do you know that Yu Wenhao has solved the case and Zhou Zhi has been arrested?"
Princess Ji was shocked, she quickly stood up and said in horror: "Impossible!"
"I originally thought it was impossible," King Ji slowly approached, his eyes cold, "But after I heard how he reported the case, he captured Zhou Zhi in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. Zhou Zhi was also concerned about the murder.
Confess."
Princess Ji looked at the almost ferocious expression on his face and asked, "Why is Your Majesty looking at me like this?"
King Ji said coldly: "Princess, why did Zhou Zhi go to the outskirts of the city to destroy the temple?"
Princess Ji was startled, "I don't know if I am sick, but I have been ill for several days, and I haven't heard from him at all."
Her face gradually became colder, and she asked in an almost unbelievable tone: "I understand, the prince is doubting me, I planned this for the prince, and finally I will take the credit for this."
Give it to Yu Wenhao, right?"
Prince Ji stared at her for a long time before slowly showing a smile, "Of course the princess would not do this."
Princess Ji's eyes were hollow, "Husband and wife, both prosper and lose. I hope the prince understands this truth. Everything I do is for the prince. If the prince has any doubts about me, you can abandon me.
No complaints at all.”
Prince Ji sat down with a slight smile on his face, as if nothing had happened just now, and held her cold hand, "I made a mistake, Princess, don't blame me, this happened suddenly, I misunderstood for a moment."
Princess Ji looked at him and said, "No one should misunderstand me. I have been married to the prince for eleven years. I have worked hard for him to ascend to the position of prince. The prince is still just a prince for one day, and I am not willing to accept it."
"
Prince Ji said gently: "I know your thoughts. I was wrong. Don't be angry."
Princess Ji rested her head on Prince Ji's shoulder and said softly: "How could I be angry with the prince? As long as the prince understands my heart."
Prince Ji thought for a moment and said: "This poisonous needle shot into the heart. It is said that it is impossible to detect it. How can Jingzhao Mansion be so capable?"
Princess Ji said: "Your Majesty, you have to investigate this matter carefully."
Prince Ji let her go and stood up, "The princess is right. I will immediately order someone to investigate."
King Ji turned around and walked out with a determined attitude.
Princess Ji looked at his back with gloomy eyes.
The maid Hongxiu came over, frowned and said softly: "Princess, the prince is suspicious."
Princess Ji said coldly: "Since I let Zhou Zhi be arrested, I'm not afraid of his suspicion."
"Will the prince find out?"
Princess Ji hummed: "He can't trace it out, it can only be suspicion."
Her heart was cold.
Everything I said just now is true.
They had been married for eleven years, and she had tried her best to plan for him to ascend to the position of prince. However, now that he thought he had a chance to win, he actually wanted to kill her.
After she got sick, she recalled every move she made in Prince Huai's mansion. Although she had entered Prince Huai's house, she knew to keep a distance and never stay for a long time, so she would not be easily infected.
The only possibility is that during those days in Prince Huai's Mansion, he ordered someone to cook soup for her.
After some effort, she learned from the boy beside him that the soup she drank was mixed with the leftover soup that King Huai drank and was about to throw away.
She knew he was cruel, but she didn't know he would actually attack her.
