Chapter 100: The murderer turned out to be someone who had been dead for more than ten years?

Just by hearing the sound, the person was killed?
Moreover, there was no sight of the murder weapon.

Could the murderer be a grandmaster?
Emperor Qing was full of doubts at this moment.

Not only that.

When Emperor Qing saw Li Chengqian's wound, he felt a sense of familiarity.

He had definitely seen this look before.

But now, I can’t remember it for a moment.

Then, Emperor Qing asked, "When the prince got into trouble, did you see what it was?"

"No." The young eunuch shook his head and said, "Nothing. Not even a shadow of a person."

When Emperor Qing heard the young eunuch's answer, he fell into deep thought.

at this time.

The Queen Mother in the crowd suddenly changed her expression and waved her hands hurriedly, "Go back quickly."

"Help me go back!"

Emperor Qing, who was still in deep thought, immediately walked up after seeing the Queen Mother's performance.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Qing in front of her, she grabbed his hands and said in horror, "It's her."

"She did it!"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother's entire body began to tremble slightly.

Emperor Qing asked in confusion, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "It must be the ghost of that bitch, there is no doubt about it."

Emperor Qing saw that the Queen Mother looked flustered, and immediately waved his hand to the surrounding palace maids, saying:

"Hurry and take the Queen Mother back to the palace to rest."

At this time, the Queen also stood up from the ground and said to Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Queen. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Once I find the murderer, I will not let him off easily!"

"You should go back to the bedroom and rest first."

Although the queen didn't want to leave, she knew there was nothing she could do if she stayed here, so she had to leave with her maid.

Seeing that the Queen and the Queen Mother had left, Li Yunrui did not stay here and immediately bowed to Emperor Qing and said:
"Your Majesty, I am about to go back as well."

Emperor Qing waved to Li Yunrui and didn't say much.

Soon, only Emperor Qing, Yan Xiaoyi, and many guards including Gong Dian were left in front of Li Chengqian's body.

Emperor Qing pondered for a moment, then turned to Gong Dian behind him and asked:

"Which guards are responsible for guarding the East Palace tonight?"

Gong Dian immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it is Fei Tingwen's team tonight."

Emperor Qing snorted coldly, "They are not guarding well, there is no point in keeping them, behead all of them!"

"Also..." Emperor Qing glanced at Gong Dian and Yan Xiaoyi, and swallowed the words he was about to say.

He sighed slowly, and when he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked quickly towards Li Chengqian's body.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qing bent down and found a small golden object behind Li Chengqian's head.

This object is not large, about the size of a fingernail, but it is solid.

When Emperor Qing picked up the object, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face. He immediately took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

After he stabilized his body, he immediately put the object away and said to Gong Dian: "Hurry up and put away the prince's body, and then send someone to thoroughly investigate the murderer."

"I want to find the murderer in the shortest possible time!"

"No matter how much it costs, we must find the murderer."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Gong Dian stood up and bowed.

Emperor Qing immediately turned and left.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he said to Gong Dian again: "If you can't find the person, then you can bring your head to see me."

Afterwards, Emperor Qing left without looking back. …

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Emperor Qing went straight to the bedroom where he had just slept.

After he closed the door, he sat heavily on the stool. His entire back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qing took out the golden object and examined it under the light.

As a result, Emperor Qing finally verified his previous guess.

He recognized the golden object in front of him.

To be precise, he had known her more than ten years ago.

Because, Ye Qingmei used this thing to kill several princes of the time, which allowed them, as princes, to become qualified to inherit the throne.

No wonder Emperor Qing felt that the wounds on the prince's body looked familiar when he saw them just now.

Now, everything is clear.

The person who killed the prince was Ye Qingmei, who had been dead for more than ten years!
I guess the Queen Mother must have noticed this before, which is why she was so panicked and said those words just now.

but……

There was one thing that Emperor Qing couldn't understand.

Ye Qingmei was killed more than ten years ago. This is an ironclad fact.

So how come now...

Emperor Qing's eyes lit up instantly, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be that the weapon that Ye Qingmei used back then is still in this world?"

"So, tonight, someone used this weapon to kill the prince!"

"Yes, it must be so!"

However, there is one thing that makes Emperor Qing very worried.

That is this weapon. To whom did Ye Qingmei give it?
Fan Jian?

Chen Pingping?
Or... Wuzhu?
No matter who this person is, he dared to use this weapon to kill the prince today.

So by tomorrow, will they be preparing to kill him?
It is because Emperor Qing has witnessed the power of this weapon that he has been so worried over the years that he has secretly practiced martial arts and become a grandmaster.

But he didn't know whether the martial arts he had practiced could withstand the attack of that weapon.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing felt his scalp tingling and his whole body uncomfortable.

"hateful!"

Emperor Qing growled and slammed his fist on the table.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After Li Chengze woke up from his sleep, he changed his clothes, washed up simply, and went to the living room to eat.

He has been particularly happy since he woke up today.

Even when eating, I would eat a few more bowls than usual.

There's no way, people feel happy when happy things happen.

After Li Chengze finished his breakfast, he played in the backyard with Xiang Yu and others.

And he was still sitting leisurely on the rattan chair as before, watching the people in front of him compete with each other.

Soon, Jia Xu, dressed in Taoist robes and holding a white feather fan, walked quickly from the direction of the gate.

When he came in front of Li Chengze, he immediately bowed and said, "My lord, there is news from the palace."

Li Chengze asked, "Is the person dead?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Dead."

"The palace is in chaos now. His Majesty has killed many people, and the guards are also like crazy, frantically searching for the murderer."

"It won't be long before the entire city of Kyoto is sealed off and carefully investigated."

"My Lord, should we do something?"
