Imperial College Kindergarten

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xueting could clearly feel Commander Yi trembling in her arms. She quickly covered Commander Yi's ears to prevent Commander Yi from hearing the nonsense of Beichen Kingdom.

You want to directly plead guilty before the facts have been investigated?
no way!
Dali Temple is very good. Even relatives of the emperor and the country are not given preferential treatment in Dali Temple. Therefore, fairness in a certain sense can be guaranteed.

Du Juefang, the minister of Dali Temple, glanced sharply at everyone in Beichen Kingdom. His eyes were extremely dark, and everyone in Beichen Kingdom immediately silenced them.

The hall became quiet again, except for the commander's sobs from time to time.

Du Juefang walked down the high platform, came to Liu Xueting's side, knelt down, and asked softly: "Princess, may I ask you a few questions?"

Liu Xueting's right hand soothed Commander Yi's back, trying to relax Commander Yi as much as possible.

When Commander Yi heard the question, he raised his tearful eyes from Liu Xueting's arms, turned his head to look at Du Juefang, and choked with sobs: "Master Du, won't you punish me?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Du Juefang's mouth. It was obvious that he wanted to appear gentler. Unfortunately, Xu had always been serious about his words and had a serious air when he smiled. The Commander flinched again.

"As long as the princess is not guilty, I will naturally not punish Your Highness. However, in front of the two assistant teachers, the princess must answer my questions truthfully, okay?"

Commander Yi hugged Liu Xueting tightly and nodded with a pale face.

Early in the morning, people from Dali Temple came into the palace with tokens and asked her to come out. Even the queen mother couldn't stop her. She was already very scared. When she came in, there was no one she knew around her. She finally saw the two assistants. , she could only rely on two teaching assistants.

Du Juefang went through Beichen Kingdom's identification in her mind: Next to the body of the third prince Su Chengguang, there was a secret guard who was seriously injured. According to the Beichen people who interrogated him first, the secret guard claimed to be from Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess and was ordered to kill Su Cheng. When the people from Dali Temple rushed to the scene, the secret guard died due to serious injuries and did not receive timely treatment.

At the same time, before that, it was said that the secret guard had revealed that the fifth princess was instigated by two assistant teachers to kill Su Chengguang.

"Princess, did you send any secret guards to the inn last night?"

Although it was a calm statement, Commander Yi trembled, his little face was full of panic, and he seemed not to know how to answer, so he could only look at Liu Xueding.

Liu Xueting sighed inwardly, he was still a child after all.

She tightened her grip on the commander, and then said warmly: "Don't be afraid, just say it. Mr. Du is very powerful and will investigate the truth. If we haven't done it, we haven't done it, and if we have done it, we have done it. "

Commander Yi closed his eyes, with crystal tears hanging on his long eyelashes. His eyelids trembled slightly, showing the fear in his master's heart.

"I……"

"I sent a secret guard last night, but I just asked the secret guard to scare him and teach him a lesson. Who asked him to ask me to marry him at the banquet!"

"I didn't ask the secret guard to kill him! No!"

Hearing Commander Yi's admission again, the people from Beichen Kingdom were about to make a move again, but Du Juefang raised his hand to stop him: "It's not time for you to speak yet!"

Then, he looked at Commander Yi and continued to ask: "Yes, very good, that's the answer. Second question, the princess sent secret guards to the post house, but does anyone have any suggestions for you?"

Commander Yi shook his head violently: "No one, I already have secret guards given by my father. I thought of it and asked the secret guards to do it..."

Hearing Commander Yi say this, Liu Xueting frowned unconsciously. How could a royal secret guard confess after being interrogated by someone from another country?
"Okay, that's great. That's it. Princess, I have one last question. Did you wait for the secret guard to come back last night?" Commander Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head again and said, "No, I was a little tired last night. I was very tired." I went to bed early, and when I got up in the morning..."

Du Juefang stood up, returned to the high hall, and loudly called Shi Shuangyu, the young minister of Dali Temple. Liu Xueting could not hide the surprise on his face for a while, because Shi Shuangyu was actually a woman!
Didn't it mean that in the Great Xia Dynasty, apart from the female champion Song Zhi, there were no women serving as officials?That's why the first female champion was so noticed.

Xie Yu moved to Liu Xueting's side without leaving a trace, and explained softly: "Dali Temple is directly under the Ministry of Punishment, and appointed officials are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. Mr. Shi has not passed the imperial examination, so not many people know about it."

So that’s the case, that’s awesome!

Shi Shuangyu stood still in the hall and reported the current results one by one: "The third prince of Beichen Kingdom was examined and found to be suffocated to death. There were no signs of fighting in the room, but the unknown secret guard was injured by a knife. , and the knife was quenched with poison, and the secret guard died of poisoning. At the same time, it was also found that the secret guard was wearing a human skin mask on his face. Princess, please see, is this your secret guard? "

Shi Shuangyu handed over a portrait, and Liu Xueting took it and showed it to Commander Yi. Commander Yi frowned: "This is not my secret guard!"

Hearing this, Liu Xueting breathed a sigh of relief.

"Impossible! The secret guard clearly admitted that he was ordered by the Fifth Princess!"

"That's right! I know you are all working together to protect criminals!"

"The matter has not yet been investigated to the end, where does the word "criminal" come from?" Liu Xueting said with a cold face, once again protecting the uneasy commander, "But you, there is no trace of sadness and indignation on your face, it is difficult not to make people laugh. Doubt it!"

"You're talking nonsense! We want to seek justice for the third prince, but where is the justice now?" The people led by Beichen pointed at Liu Xueting with menacing eyes.

Liu Xueting did not hide away. He looked directly at Beichen and the others, wanting to deceive them, and silently shouted "Second Prince".

The leader's pupils shrank for a moment, but he quickly reacted and continued to be unyielding: "I don't care, my third prince Beichen died in the post house for no reason. If the Great Xia Dynasty does not give an explanation and make the criminals pay for their lives, I will wait. I will report back to the king immediately! By then..."

The tone contained a warning, and at the same time he glanced at Liu Xueting subtly, thinking about whether she just mentioned it accidentally or whether she really knew something.

Du Juefang raised her hand and pressed it down, signaling Beichen people to calm down.

"What happened to the third prince is indeed heartbreaking. Dali Temple will definitely find out the identity of the secret guard as soon as possible and give Beichen an explanation. Please rest assured that the Beichen delegation will do so."

"Hmph, it's best this way!" Beichen snorted coldly, looking extremely impatient.

After the Beichen people left temporarily, only people from the Daxia Dynasty were left in the hall.

Du Juefang looked at Commander Yi and tried to speak as softly as possible: "Fifth Princess, the matter has not been clarified yet. Please continue to stay here for a while."

Although he was still scared, Commander Yi understood the importance and nodded to express his understanding.

As for Liu Xueting and Liu Xueting, the princess confirmed that they were not instigated by them, so Du Juefang asked them to go back.

When Shi Shuangyu sent the two of them out, Liu Xueting seemed to have no intention of mentioning it to Xie Yu: "Assistant Professor Xie, do you still remember the man we saw last night who was wearing Daxia clothes but looked very much like Beichen? It seems, The banquet team didn’t see that person’s face last night!”
