"The death of the crown prince must have something to do with the seventh prince. If we ask his majesty to solve the problem, his majesty might be enraged." Liu Yinfeng said emotionlessly.
"Get angry? I remember that his majesty once said that it was not easy to be the emperor of the state of Xia. He doesn't has many sons, but his sons are also not that few. They has competition among them. If one son can get rid of the others, it should be him to be the emperor. If the seventh prince killed the crown prince, that would be regarded as the crown prince's inability! " The old man withdrew his crutch and lifted it with both hands. The crutch made the sound of "beep" in the carriage.
A grim smile spread across the young man's face. "Luo Qingyan is also the son of his majesty, just as you have said. If he was really gets rid of the seventh prince, his Majesty would probably prefer Luo Qingyan. His majesty will thinks Luo Qingyan is a capable man."
The old man looked embarrassed all of a sudden. "You are really insane, the seventh prince is your student and you used to be good friends. But now, you've been loving that bitch too much to forget that she is Luo Qingyan's wife! Shame on you! You loved... before... " The old man paused and snorted, "And now you fell in love with a married woman again."
Liu Yinfeng closed his eyes, pretending not to hear his words, but he clenched his hand in the sleeve tightly. His nails pierced into the flesh of the palm, which was painful. The old man felt a little sorry for what he had said as he saw the young man's look on his face. But since it was impossible for him to make an apology to Liu Yinfeng, he snorted coldly and turned his face aside, without looking at Liu Yinfeng any more.
When Yun Shang returned to her room, Prince Jing was still reading a book on the couch. Hearing the noise of Yun Shang entering the room, he said calmly, "It has been half an hour."
Yun Shang froze for a moment before she realized he was talking about the time she had left. She found it both funny and annoying, and she walked to the couch, "Liu Yinfeng suspected that I had arrested the seventh Prince of the state of Xia and asked me if I was involved in this matter. He just talked a few words. Besides, the butler and Qian Yin have been following us all the time."
Prince Jing didn't want to argue with her any more in case it seemed that he was jealous. He said quietly, "I've had someone look into the oil in the prison, and found that there was indeed a certain incense of Buddha in it. And there was indeed a guard in the prison, who was ill, taking control of the keys and the switch of the mechanism. It's just that when we found that person, the man had already died from poison. The poison was not a rare poison, and it was a white headed snake. The one who called He Yun you asked her to meet after you sent her to the Qian Shui's shop that day, the man who met her was taken down by a secret guard with the words of the state of Xia on his body."
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and frowned. "The murderer is obvious now. They should be Li Jingyan and the seventh prince of the state of Xia. However, they are very cautious. Now with the evidence we have, we have no way to identify them as the murderer."
Seeing that Yun Shang was even more dejected than he was, Prince Jing smiled. He ruffled her hair and comforted her, "it doesn't matter. There will always be evidence."
Yun Shang stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a while, she asked, "Li Jingyan and the seventh prince, when did they enter the imperial city?"
