Luo QingHan summoned Xiao Lingfeng and Fang Wujiu to ask about the details of the matter.

Neither of them is a party and can only paraphrase what others say.

Xiao Lingfeng: "the two female assassins are from Liao, and the state of Liao has a feud with China. The end will suspect that the assassination may have been intentional by the state of Liao."

Luo QingHan: "if Liao wants revenge, it should come to me. Your imperial concubine is the princess of the South moon. What's the use of killing her?"

Xiao Lingfeng had been thinking about it for a long time and immediately said his guess.

"Killing the imperial concubine, on the one hand, can make the emperor lose his love, on the other hand, it can provoke a dispute between Dasheng and Nanyue, killing two birds with one stone!"

Luo QingHan was silent, as if thinking.

Fang Wujiu: "what General Xiao said is reasonable, but there is one thing I don't know."

Luo QingHan: "you say."

Fang Wujiu: "the arrow of the crossbow that shot the imperial concubine was coated with poison, but the poison will only make people faint for a short time and will not kill people. If the Liao people decide to kill the imperial concubine, why not use the deadly poison of blood sealing their throat?"

Xiao Lingfeng couldn't answer.

If the arrow can be smeared with highly toxic, the probability of successful assassination must be higher. The assassin cannot be unaware of this.

There is something strange about it.

Fang Wujiu: "the assassins are not highly toxic, which means that they may not really want to kill the imperial concubine. The assassination is just an illusion. In fact, they have other plans."

Luo QingHan thought for a moment and decided to call Princess Jing, Princess Li, Su Cairen and Shao Liangren. They were all people who had experienced the assassination. If you ask them, you will know more about the whole process.

The four concubines were all surprised. Unexpectedly, the emperor would return to the palace early.

Both sides salute.

Jing Feimei's eyes were tearful and her tone was sad.

"Emperor, I almost couldn't see you."

Shao Liangren also wiped the lower corners of his eyes with a veil and said in a trembling voice.

"Those two female assassins are so fierce. I've never encountered such a thing before. Fortunately, your majesty came back in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have peace for a day."

Princess Li was also very afraid, but she just looked at the emperor and knew that the Emperor didn't care whether she was afraid or not, so she didn't say anything at all.

Su Cairen kept his head down and didn't speak.

Luo QingHan ignored the cry of imperial concubine Jing and Shao Liangren, but looked at Xiao Lingfeng nearby and motioned him to ask questions.

Xiao Lingfeng stepped forward and arched his hands at the four concubines.

"Mo will be ordered to thoroughly investigate the assassin. Some questions need the help of four ladies. Please answer them truthfully."

Princess Jing nodded: "this kind of thing suddenly appeared in the palace. The palace also hopes to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the heart of the palace can't settle down. If General Xiao wants to ask anything, just ask. The palace must know everything."

Xiao Lingfeng: "why did you summon a dancer?"

Princess Jing frowned, "are you doubting the palace?"

Xiao Lingfeng: "my mother is so careless that I will just do things as usual."

Princess Jing looked at the emperor and saw that there was no expression on the emperor's face. She couldn't see joy and anger, so she had to explain bitterly.

"We heard that Su Cairen was going to play the pipa for the imperial concubine. We thought it was too monotonous to listen to the pipa alone, so we asked two dancers to help us. We didn't know that the dancer was an assassin. Please learn from the emperor!"

Xiao Lingfeng looked at Shao Liangren.

"Why did you go to see the imperial concubine with imperial concubine Jing?"

Shao Liangren: "I have nothing to do to go to find Princess Jing to gossip. I happened to talk about her illness, so I made an appointment to see her."

Xiao Lingfeng asked, "are you very close to Princess Jing?"

Shao Liangren lowered his eyes: "Princess Jing is tolerant and benevolent. She takes good care of me on weekdays."

Hearing this, imperial concubine Li couldn't help rolling her eyes, hypocrisy!

Her white eyes were caught by Xiao Lingfeng.

Xiao Lingfeng looked at her: "what do you want to say?"

Princess Li's expression froze.

She quickly restrained her expression: "there's nothing to say in this palace."

Xiao Lingfeng finally looked at Su Cairen and asked her what she knew?

Su Cairen hung his head from beginning to end. When he heard the speech, he slowly raised his head and showed a gorgeous face.

She bit her lower lip, as if she had made some determination, and her eyes showed some determination.

"I don't know how the assassin came, but I have something to say."

Xiao Lingfeng immediately said, "please speak."

Su Cairen first looked at Shao Liangren and then said.

"Just now, when the assassin attacked the imperial concubine, I saw... Shao Liangren deliberately pushed down the vase. The vase just blocked the way of the imperial concubine and almost killed the imperial concubine!"

Shao Liangren's face changed greatly when he heard the speech.

Without thinking about it, she flatly denied: "no! That vase was not pushed down by my body. My body is innocent. Please see it clearly!"

Su Cairen: "Princess Jing was around Shao Liangren at that time. Princess Jing should have seen it."

Princess Jing shook her head: "no, I was frightened at that time. I just ran for my life and didn't notice anything."

Su Cairen looked at her incredulously, "why doesn't your mother tell the truth?"

Princess Jing was helpless: "what I said is the truth. I really didn't notice who knocked down the vase."

Su Cairen was worried: "you were so close to Shaoliang that you couldn't see it!"

Shao Liangren looked at her with tears in his eyes: "Princess Jing is telling the truth. Why don't you believe it? Do you have to let Princess Jing only recognize that she murdered her?"

Su Cairen: "no, you're lying. Princess Jing must be shielding you!"

Imperial concubine Jing frowned: "Su Cairen, you not only slander Shao Liangren, but also want to slander the palace. What's your heart? Is it you who really pushed down the vase to murder the imperial concubine? You deliberately slander the palace and shaoliangren in order to confuse the public!"

Su Cairen's face turned red with anxiety: "I have no body! Everything I said is true. I can swear that if there is half a lie, I will be beaten by thunder!"

Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Luo Qing interrupted coldly.

"Enough!"

The three men shut up at the same time and dared not speak again.

Xiao Lingfeng looked at the only imperial concubine Li who stayed out and asked respectfully.

"Did your mother see who pushed that vase down?"

Imperial concubine Li's eyes swept one by one from imperial concubine Jing, Su Cairen and Shao Liangren, and finally stayed on Su Cairen.

Su Cairen was very upset.

It took a long time to hear Princess Li speak.

"When the assassin started, Su Cairen was the first to react and knocked out an assassin with a lute in her arms. Later, she didn't hesitate to replace her body in order to protect the imperial concubine. Seriously, if she really wanted to harm the imperial concubine, why should she do these things? Isn't it self contradictory?"
