Chapter 216 Very Unnatural

It turned out that the emperor I heard of in the past favored this talented Princess Ruocheng very much, which was not groundless. The emperor did like Baili Ruocheng, who was good at chanting poems and writing. When he heard the news of her death, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

The others were also surprised. Lu Siguan looked at Liu Qingyan with some doubts, and the latter nodded lightly.

When the queen saw the emperor like this, she was a little panicked and took a step back: "Emperor, this..."

How should I explain this to the emperor? The truth has not been found out yet. If I talk casually, it will definitely make the emperor angry again. If I don’t say it, I’m afraid the emperor will be as angry as the emperor, or even more angry.

Just as the queen was about to speak, Concubine Du next to her spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that this matter was done by the Princess Qi you liked very much just now."

"What?" Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Qingyan at this moment, with unanimous suspicion.

"You said it was Princess Qi?" The emperor looked at Princess Du, his voice coldly.

Although Concubine Du was afraid of the emperor, she still spoke, "Yes, the imperial doctor has just come to see him. Princess Cheng would die after drinking poisonous wine. The glass of poisonous wine she drank came from Princess Qi." After that, she raised her hand in a fake way and wiped tears that did not exist at all, and said, "So, Master, who are you talking about it?"

The emperor frowned and looked at Liu Qingyan without saying anything.

Concubine Du thought the emperor still didn't believe what she said, so she continued to cry: "Princess Ruocheng is such a well-behaved princess. Who would have thought that this Princess Qi would have such a killer... Then the princess of Fanbang had also seen the portrait of the princess, and he liked it very much. Now that Princess Cheng is gone, what should I do if I get along with each other? Princess Ruocheng, tell me, why is things so unhappy?"

"Shut up!" The emperor suddenly spoke out and interrupted her with a cold look on his face.

"Emperor..." Concubine Du still had a few tears that were forced out by her. At this time, she looked at the emperor with grievance.

"Don't think I'm old, I'll believe anything," the emperor snorted coldly, refused to look at her again, but turned to Liu Qingyan, "Princess Qi, it happens that you are the prefect of the capital. If this matter is accomplished, I will leave it to you to investigate."

Liu Qingyan lowered her head and said, "Yes, the emperor!"

Concubine Du was still thrusting and twitching. Liu Qingyan glanced at her. In the past, she thought Concubine Du was extremely cold, and she was so cold at home with the airs of Concubine Du. Unexpectedly, when Concubine Du came to the emperor, she seemed like a childish girl who knew nothing, but she was obviously not young.

Could it be that the emperor likes this? So Concubine Du deliberately did this in order to compete for favor?

"Okay, I'm going to see Ruocheng," the emperor spoke again, frowned tightly, his face a little pale, "Princess Qi, you can go and investigate this matter with the King of Qi."

"Yes, the emperor!" Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan responded together. With her here, Liu Qingyan's heart instantly calmed down a lot.

At the same time, Lu Siguan also took a step forward naturally and stood beside Liu Qingyan.

Nangong Yi next to him also stood up: "Your Majesty, if possible, please let me help you together?"

The emperor glanced at him and waved his hand: "It's okay to help, maybe it's better. There are too many people, so you can investigate and deal with this matter soon. This is also an explanation I have given to Ruocheng."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Nangong Yi hurriedly thanked.

The emperor led the concubines and several other royal families to see Baili Ruocheng's corpse, leaving behind Liu Qingyan, Lu Siguan and Nangong Yi, as well as several other guards.

"Little General, there is no need to bother you about this matter." Liu Qingyan frowned and said.

She is now very suspicious whether Nangong Yi did such a thing because he liked her and wanted to get close to her.

Nangong Yi looked at her and then said, "Princess, to be honest, don't you suspect that Princess Rucheng died after drinking poisoned wine has a lot to do with my sister?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan was stunned and looked at Nangong Yi in disbelief: "You...what did you say just now?"

"Princess, you heard it right away," said Nangong Yi, "What I said is to doubt my sister."

"But... she is your sister. Isn't it good for you to tell me like this?" Liu Qingyan frowned and looked at him.

Nangong Yi sighed: "When I was hunting on the horse's back, I told the King of Qi that this time I told my father not to bring my sister over. I was really afraid of what she would do. But my father refused to listen to me, and I really had no choice..."

Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Siguan, who nodded lightly at her, indicating that Nangong Yi had really said this.

After pausing for a moment, Nangong Yi continued, "I don't know why my sister became like this, but since she will do something like this, she will definitely do more things like this in the future. It's not clear that the next victim will be you, Princess."

"So what?" Liu Qingyan frowned, "There is no evidence at hand and cannot convict your sister."

Nangong Yi shook his head lightly: "No, you have never discovered such evidence. You will never say that there is no. Princess, you should know this truth, right?"

Liu Qingyan nodded slightly, and Nangong Yi continued, "Then I will collect that evidence. Princess, Princess, you two will wait for me for a while."

"What evidence are you going to collect?" Liu Qingyan asked out loud.

"I live with my sister. When I went to find her this morning, I saw her hiding something under the bed," said Nangong Yi. "I guess it must be closely related to this poisoning incident. It is probably only me who can enter my sister's room and find that thing."

Liu Qingyan nodded slightly: "Then you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, princess." Nangong Yi smiled, turned away and left.

Liu Qingyan then looked at Lu Siguan, who had never said anything, and said a little strangely: "I used to smell the jealousy by saying one or two more words to the young general. Why did we say something for a long time this time, and you didn't even have an unhappy expression?"

As she said that, she also flattered her mouth: "I probably know. It seems that you don't like me anymore, the prince."

"Silly, why don't I like you?" Lu Siguan couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to rub her head.

"Then why don't you talk all the time?" Liu Qingyan asked.

Lu Siguan frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Nangong Yi has been a little strange recently, but I really can't speak where it is strange. However, I just feel very unnatural in my heart."

Liu Qingyan also became serious: "I have to say that I feel this way, too."

Lu Siguan looked at her: "Then tell me, what do you think is different from him? There should be many differences from the past. You know him more than me. After all, you two have more contact with each other."

Liu Qingyan smiled: "I thought you were going to talk about jealousy again. I and the young general are just friends."

After pausing for a moment, she said again: "In fact, the biggest strange thing I think is that somehow, this young general seems to like being with you more and more."

Could it be that she was injured and poisoned again, so Nangong Yi turned to like men and fell in love with Lu Siguan without saying a word? This would definitely be a huge impact for Liu Qingyan. Because this means that it would not be Lu Siguan who drank jealous in the future, but her.

"I have a deep feeling when you say this," Lu Siguan didn't know what she was thinking in her mind. "Just just hunting with the emperor, I was very close to Nangong Yi. He was always saying something to me, and it seemed that he was very close to me."

"What then?" Liu Qingyan looked at him nervously - could she be kissed?

Lu Siguan frowned and said, "I didn't feel anything at first, but later the emperor also noticed the relationship between me and Nangong Yi and came to ask questions. Nangong Yi said that he and I were very good friends, and he even proposed to the emperor that I would restore my power. These things can be said to be his credit."

Liu Qingyan finally realized: "It turns out that you can restore your power and have a great contribution from the young general."

"That's true," Lu Siguan nodded, "but I didn't understand why, exactly? Why is this?"

Liu Qingyan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is it because... the young general doesn't like me anymore, but he falls in love with you? Lu Siguan, I may be jealous in the future."

Lu Siguan looked at her deeply: "It's normal, can it be OK? I'm talking to you about something serious!"

Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "I'm just kidding."

"What do you think if you're not kidding?" Lu Siguan asked her.

Liu Qingyan was silent for a moment and was about to speak when Nangong Yi, who was jogging over there, rang out: "Prince! Princess, I got the thing!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan swallowed what she had originally wanted to say back to her stomach and looked at Nangong Yi with Lu Siguan.

Nangong Yi ran to the two of them and stopped. The palm of his hand was a small bottle: "This is what I found under my sister's bed, it's poison."
