At this point, she added: "And here you and your wife are the only ones who have conflicts with Lan Wu. When we were in the Hall of Supreme Harmony just now, only Lan Wu and Princess Li had a quarrel. Did you blame Lan Wu for cursing your child, so you ran away?"
Come and kill her with an axe?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Chu Xuanchen in disbelief, and Yun Ruoyue also looked anxious.
She hurriedly said: "Empress, it's absolutely impossible. Xuan Chen is not this kind of person. He will never be stupid enough to kill people in the palace and then be caught by you. With his character, it is even more impossible for him to do such a thing. This
There must be a conspiracy inside!"
The queen said coldly, "How is it impossible? King Li has always defended you. He thought Lan Wu bullied you, so he killed Lan Wu just to vent your anger. He was the only one here who had the motive to kill, and he was the only one beside the body, not him.
Who else could it be?”
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyes and said calmly: "Queen, if I really want to kill someone, I don't need to do it myself. I was lured here, and the real culprit must be someone else. Before the real culprit is found, I can't do it myself."
Go far away, and please ask the emperor to order a search as soon as possible to prevent the real culprit from escaping!"
At this time, Concubine Xue looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said softly: "Your Majesty, I also feel that Prince Li is not this kind of person. He is very powerful in martial arts and can kill enemies invisible on the battlefield. How can he use a weapon like an ax to chop him down?"
Wouldn't it be unnecessary to kill Concubine Lan? Furthermore, as King Li said, he has many people under his command. If he really hates Concubine Lan, he can just order others to do it without taking the risk himself.
Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Xue Fei, the evidence is conclusive and you still speak for King Li? You are not familiar with King Li. Do you think he is young and handsome, so you speak for him regardless of right or wrong?" the queen said angrily.
Concubine Xue hurriedly lowered her head and said: "No, I don't mean that. I just don't want the emperor to lose this talent of King Li."
After hearing the queen's words, Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu Xuanchen coldly.
Chu Xuanchen was tall, handsome, young and brave, and indeed more attractive than the old man like him.
He glanced at Chu Xuanchen jealously, and then looked at Concubine Xue in warning. Concubine Xue quickly lowered her head and made a well-behaved and obedient look.
Seeing this, he withdrew his gaze, looked deeply at Chu Xuanchen, and said: "Xuanchen, I don't believe you can kill anyone, but now you are the only suspect, I must investigate thoroughly. My identity
As the king of a country, I must give justice to Lan Wu!"
The queen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, all the witnesses and physical evidence are there, so why investigate? Lan Wu was killed by King Li, and he is the real murderer."
Prince Rui also stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "Father, I don't believe that the emperor would do such a thing. But Lan Wu died so tragically, and this matter is related to the reputation of the Chu royal family. Brother Huang
Although he has great achievements in battle, if he is the real murderer, please treat him equally and not let him go lightly because of his identity, otherwise it will affect your prestige, Father."
After hearing King Rui's words, Chu Xuanchen glanced at King Rui coldly, his eyes extremely cold.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue said: "Your Majesty, can you let your niece-in-law see Lan Wu's body?"
"What's the use of looking at it? Could it be that if you look at it, you can exonerate King Li?" the queen said coldly.
Emperor Hongyuan said: "Okay! Queen, let Ruoyue go see it! I also hope to find out clearly. I will not wrongly accuse anyone, nor will I let the real murderer go!"
