Chapter 10
At night, the imperial garden.

Xia Hua was hesitating, looking restless, when suddenly her shoulder was patted, she turned her head sharply, and looked at the man in front of her.

Wang Qitian looked at Xia Hua's terrified but pretending to be calm expression, smiled lightly, Xia Hua's face changed again and again, and finally glared at him fiercely, and gritted out a few words: "You killed Qiu Ye!"

Wang Qitian lost his smile in an instant, and with a gloomy expression, he grabbed her by the waist and put it in his arms.

Xia Hua struggled desperately, but was bound even tighter.

Looking at the slightly trembling body in his arms, Wang Qitian lowered his head and bit her neck heavily: "Little Hua'er, everyone is already dead, what are you doing?"

"It's as if I killed Ren Qiuye, it's obviously you!" Xia Hua stared at him in horror.

She never thought that he would be so cruel and merciless that he would kill his fiancée with his own hands!
Wang Qitian sneered indifferently, "Don't think I don't know that you caused the scars on Qiuye's body, we are on the same boat!"

"you……"

Xia Hua stared at him, speechless.

Yes, she was also an accomplice. When she found Qiu Ye's body and saw the dagger stuck in her chest, she knew that the murderer was him!

Because it was a gift she gave him, Qiuye never knew that they grew up together, had the same hobbies, but also liked the same man, but she hated it, why wasn't she the one who had a marriage contract, why did Qiuye like him She fell in love with another man, and even now he still told her that brother Qitian and brother Qitian are just siblings!

She had thought that as long as Qiu Ye was not around, Brother Qitian would not be with her because of the marriage contract, and it would be her alone... So...

Wang Qitian looked at the teary-eyed girl in front of him, felt pity in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hug Xia Hua into his arms: "Little Hua'er, you know, I hate being betrayed the most since I was a child, as long as you don't betray me, I will treat you well in the future." your!"

Xia Hua didn't speak anymore, she hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to warm her body which was getting colder and colder.

A black shadow flashed in the distance, and the imperial garden became quiet again.

……

"Your Majesty, there is news from Zhenbaoxuan!"

Lin Ling raised her head from the file, rubbed her hazy eyes: "Tell me about the situation?"

"Yes, ma'am, that jade pendant is a new product of Zhenbaoxuan this year. It was originally a pair. It was just bought by a young master a few days ago. The shopkeeper knows the young master. Maybe the empress has heard of his reputation?"

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows: "Oh? It seems to be a somewhat famous person."

Ji Lang: "Not only is he famous! He is the young master of the Eighth Prince's family, and there is also a record of his entry and exit at the palace gate yesterday."

Lin Ling: "The eldest son of the Eighth Prince's family, Jing Yu? The legendary "Wanderer"?"

Ji Lang was helpless, no one in the capital knew about this name, the eldest son Jingyu - unrestrained, wandered around the place of fireworks all the year round, and the emperor seemed to be very indulgent to this cousin, due to his royal status, Ji Lang didn't dare to say anything, just I can nod.

Lin Ling didn't think much about it. Since this case was involved, she had to find someone.

"Master Ji, please send someone to invite him over! I'll talk to the emperor again."

"Yes, ma'am."

Just as Ji Lang was about to retreat, a notification sound came from below:
"Elder King Jing Yu begs to see the Empress Empress!"

Lin Ling and Ji Lang looked at each other in surprise, they really said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived!

Lin Ling: "Let him in!"

As soon as the words were finished, a man about 20 years old came around the corner. He was dressed in red, with long hair tied high behind his head. His face was like a peach blossom, and he was extremely handsome. He looked dissolute on the outside, but there was an inadvertent gleam in his eyes. Not to be underestimated.

"See the emperor's wife, the emperor's wife will be well soon!"

Jing Yu saluted slightly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes aimed at the queen with a calm and alienated smile in front of the desk. It was just like what the emperor said, this queen is interesting!
Lin Ling said lightly, "The prince is not here to greet me today, is he?"

Jing Yu smiled playfully, sat down on a chair beside her casually, picked up the grapes on the plate and threw them directly into her mouth,
"Respected sister-in-law, it seems that I have already guessed the reason for my visit, so I will stop playing around. I gave you the jade pendant, and I wore that dress, but I didn't kill the little maid."

Lin Ling nodded: "I know, but why didn't you report the case?"

Jing Yu didn't expect her to believe his words so quickly, and was a little surprised: "Why didn't you doubt what I said?"

Lin Ling: "It's not that I don't doubt you, but what you said is the result of my speculation. I believe in my own judgment. Also, you haven't answered my question yet."

Deep meaning flashed in Jing Yu's eyes, and he glanced at Ji Lang slightly: "Sister-in-law Huang is really not easy to fool!"

Lin Ling's eyes flickered, "Master Ji, go down first and see what's going on with Xia Hua and Wang Shiwei."

Ji Lang bowed his head: "I obey the order, empress, son, I will retire!"

Lin Ling: "Your Majesty, you can say it!"

Jing Yu nodded: "Sister-in-law Huang is really smart! I believe that sister-in-law found out my records of entering and leaving the palace should be in the daytime, and I came to see the emperor's brother last night for business, and it was around Yin time when I left the palace. The time we made an appointment to meet was Haishi, because I was delayed in the imperial brother's palace for a while, but when I arrived at the appointed place, I found her dead. My whereabouts are confidential and cannot be revealed, I came here today after hearing the news from Brother Huang."

Lin Ling understood in his heart that it turned out that Jing Han had expected Jing Yu to come today before he said what he said yesterday.

From this point of view, the relationship between Jing Yu and Qiu Ye seems to be not that simple. Jing Yu probably wants to use Qiu Ye to get close to the princess or even some confidential information of Yunguo.

Lin Ling frowned: "Your Majesty Jing Yu, let me ask you one more question, you can choose not to answer."

There was a flash of affirmation in Jing Yu's eyes, it seemed that her sister-in-law was smarter than expected.

"Sister-in-law, please tell me, I will definitely not hide what I can say!"

Lin Ling nodded: "Are you and Qiuye really in love?"

Jing Yu laughed lightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Sister-in-law Huang seems to be a little naive. How can the royal family really love each other? I just want to play games when you love me."
