Chapter 18
In the tea room of Tianji Hall of the Procuratorate, Shen Sitang was sweating on his forehead and his face was pale.

Xu Wangda, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, used to be the father-in-law in the empress's palace, and was later promoted to be the head of the House of Internal Affairs. The queen...is the biological mother of the sixth prince.

Shen Sitang thought carefully and was terrified!
At this time, there was only one hour left before the three days given to her by Emperor Yongqing, Shen Sitang clenched her fists, she didn't know what to do, should she continue to investigate?Or just let it go and wait to die obediently?
It seemed that no matter what she chose, it was a dead end.

Shen Sitang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, got up and walked out.

She has to verify one thing.

Shen Sitang walked out of the tea room and called an official over.

The official saluted Shen Sitang respectfully: "What is Miss Shen's order?"

"My lord, please take me to the torture hall. I want to see the suspect Li Guichuan I brought back yesterday."

The official didn't ask any more questions, and he responded and led the way. As soon as he walked out of Tianji Hall, Shen Sitang saw Chen Yue'an running towards her.

Chen Yue'an also saw her, and waved at her excitedly, then speeded up and ran in front of her, excitedly saying: "Qian Ning, Li Guichuan has recruited!"

Shen Sitang didn't react for a moment, and after a while he repeated his words dully: "Li Guichuan recruited?"

Chen Yue'an nodded vigorously: "Yes! He recruited! He did it all. He is the real culprit who murdered the third prince. Qian Ning, you will not be beheaded!"

She should be happy, the murderer did it, and her life was saved, but...why is she so uneasy.

Chen Yue'an didn't notice Shen Sitang's strangeness at all, he grabbed her arm and said, "Go, I'll take you into the palace to send a message!"

Shen Sitang was dragged forward a few steps before she came back to her senses. She stood firm and frowned and asked, "Brother Chen, did Li Guichuan really recruit? Is he really the one who murdered the Third Prince?"

"Of course, he admitted it himself." Chen Yue'an didn't understand, so what happened to this brother?Isn't she happy that she doesn't have to die?
"Why would he do this?"

"For his daughter who died tragically."

Shen Sitang shook his head: "No, Li Guichuan has many children, and he doesn't love them that much at all. I asked his children, and they all said..."

"Qian Ning!" Shen Sitang was interrupted by Chen Yue'an before he finished speaking, and he looked at her very puzzled: "Li Guichuan is a businessman, it's normal for him to travel all over the world and ignore his children, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care about his children." Love his children, parents all over the world have the same heart, it is reasonable for him to take this crooked road for revenge!"

Shen Sitang shook her head and wanted to explain something, but what Chen Yuean said was not unreasonable, she anxiously said anxiously: "Then how can he explain Qinglan's poisoning for ten years? How can he explain why the whole Li Mansion , only Qinglan was poisoned?"

"Li Guichuan said that Qinglan was a beauty since she was a child. He had long thought of her badly. He got the poison from Southern Xinjiang ten years ago and fed it to Qinglan. He wanted to coerce her into becoming a concubine when she grew up. But six years ago when his daughter died tragically under the hooves of the third prince, he changed his mind and planned all of this."

"Then how did he know that the third prince would definitely go to Yichun Courtyard one day, and arrange Qinglan to go there in advance?"

"Li Guichuan doesn't know this, but the Yichun Courtyard is his business, and Jiaoniang is his concubine. Arranging Qinglan there will not only allow her to be watched, but also allow her to learn how to serve men. Unexpectedly, the Third Prince sent him to the door on his own initiative, so he asked Jiao Niang to arrange for Qinglan to pick up the guests that night, and there is no difference between Jiao Niang and Li Guichuan's confession in this regard."

"Then why didn't they do anything that night and insisted on letting Qinglan be by the Third Prince's side? Besides, the Third Prince went to the brothel to have fun, why were they so sure that Qinglan would be redeemed and taken away?"

"Li Guichuan did a lot of good things in southern Xinjiang. The third prince was also bewitched by aphrodisiacs. As for why he didn't do it in Yichunyuan, Li Guichuan naturally didn't want to be caught dead. He always wanted to find a way to escape. Li Guichuan thought he would use Gu insects It is absolutely safe to murder the third prince, because there is no one who dares to examine the third prince's body, I did not expect you to be so desperate."

Chen Yue'an answered fluently, obviously Li Guichuan explained everything thoroughly.

Shen Sitang thought over and over again, but still had doubts, she pondered: "No, I have to meet Li Guichuan!"

As long as she sees him, she can verify one thing.

"Why are you going to see him?" Chen Yue'an grabbed her arm and did not let go, persuading her with good words: "Li Guichuan is no longer a man in the torture hall, you girl, don't be frightened by his miserable situation, let's talk about what His Majesty gave you. The deadline is coming soon, we must go to the palace immediately to send a message, otherwise, if you are delayed for a moment, you will be considered a breach of trust to His Majesty, what should we do?"

"But……"

"Don't be so." Shen Sitang's words were interrupted again, and Chen Yue'an dragged her out: "It takes a cup of tea to go from the inspector's office to the palace, and it takes another cup of tea to pass the word from the palace servants to His Majesty's mouth. It takes a stick of incense to go back and forth, and it will be too late if you don't go!"

Chen Yue'an involuntarily brought Shen Sitang to the gate of the palace, and the palace servants went in to spread the word, and within a cup of tea, Xiang'an came in a hurry.

Xiang'an first saluted Chen Yuean and Shen Sitang, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very pleased to hear about this, Your Highness the Third Prince may rest in peace, Miss Shen, the reward promised by His Majesty will be delivered to the mansion tomorrow, and return it to you." Miss Shen, please get ready."

Shen Sitang cupped his hands and saluted towards the palace: "Your Majesty is wise, and my servant hereby thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Xiang'an saluted Shen Sitang with a smile all over his face: "My servant congratulates Miss Shen for saving herself from danger."

Shen Sitang stepped forward to help him, and gave him the money bag on his body.

Xiang'an quickly evaded: "Miss Shen, what is the meaning of this, you can't do it!"

Shen Sitang forced it to him: "Mr. Xiang'an, I, Shen Sitang, have no other skills. The only ones who can express my gratitude to Mr. Xiang'an are these vulgar things. Mr. Xiang'an, please don't dislike them."

"The slave is not disgusted." Xiang'an urgently defended: "The slave really deserves it."

"Eunuch Xiang'an is polite to me again, and I will be angry if I do this again."

After hearing this, Xiang An accepted the money bag: "The slave thanked Miss Shen."

Shen Sitang smiled at him, and Xiang'an clenched the money bag in his hand, feeling warm in his heart, as if what Shen Sitang gave him was not money, but a pot of charcoal to comfort his soul.

-

Chen Yuean stretched his hands on the back of his neck, smiled and looked at Shen Sitang who was walking aside: "Qian Ning, you can feel at ease now, let's go, I will take you home to rest."

Shen Sitang sighed heavily, feeling frustrated in his heart.

"What's the matter? Sighing, are you hungry? Shall I take you to eat crystal knuckles?"

Shen Sitang shook his head: "I have no appetite, and I won't go home."

Chen Yuean stopped and asked, "Then where are you going?"

"Go to the racecourse." After Shen Sitang finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

Chen Yuean chased after him: "What are you doing at the racecourse?"

"Learn to ride a horse."

Chen Yue'an was puzzled: "You managed to keep your head, why don't you take a good rest and learn how to ride a horse?"

head?Shen Sitang twitched the corners of her mouth bitterly, whether she can keep her head is still hanging in the air, the pervert Jun Tingyan is used to tormenting her.
