When the Criminal Department was judging the case, Lu Wushuang and Lu Youyou naturally had no way to go in and had to wait outside. Lu Youyou was not in a hurry. She believed that the queen must have grasped many clues in the past few days.

It was more than enough to rescue the prince.

"I have verified that the handwriting on these letters is indeed from the deceased, so it can also be proved that these are indeed letters between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the deceased."

The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this gentleman speaking too absolutely? Just by checking the handwriting of the deceased, can you prove that this is a correspondence between me and the deceased? How do you prove that this is my handwriting?"

The prince has been well-behaved since he was a child. Even his calligraphy was handed down by the Taifu himself. In the early years, he was criticized by the emperor.

He said that he only knows how to imitate blindly and has no character of his own.

"There are countless people across the country who practice the same handwriting as me. How do you know for sure that this character is written by me?"

After the prince calmed down, he actually thought a lot. Since he had never written these things, there must be evidence to prove that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"But this..."

The prince stepped forward and took the pile of letters from the Minister of Justice's hand, and looked through them carefully.

"Does the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment have little contact with the deceased? Your Excellency, don't you know that the deceased was a military general in the past and his right hand was injured. Even if the handwriting is exactly the same, the strength of the writing is enough to show that it was a forgery. "

The queen had already asked someone to carefully identify it, and also asked the treasurer's bureau to rummage through the cabinets and find memorials written by the deceased.

You only need to compare it to see that even if the handwriting is exactly the same, you can still tell that it was not written by me.

The Minister of Punishment was speechless by the prince's words. He was also at a loss and could only hand these letters to the emperor.

The emperor reviewed the memorials every day, and he had naturally seen the memorials handed over by the deceased countless times over the years. As expected, he frowned when he read the letter.

"If Father doesn't believe it, you can also find previous memorials and compare them."

As soon as the prince saw the expression on the emperor's face, he knew that the emperor had understood that he had been framed, and he only needed to add fuel to the fire at the right time to completely remove the suspicion.

"No need, the prince is indeed innocent. He was framed and imprisoned for so many days. This matter cannot be left alone. Since your punishment department can't even handle this matter, let Lao Jiu handle it next. Bar."

As the only prince who has not been involved in this matter, and a person who usually handles things more safely, the emperor naturally believes more. In addition, he has no interest in this matter, so he can rest assured.

After the trial of the case was over, the prince was completely cleared of suspicion. This was because the case of the murder of a maid in the palace was not over yet. Even if he returned to the palace, he would still be banned.

But the queen was already very satisfied. At least her son could come back safe and sound, and she was silently grateful to the General's Mansion in her heart.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the East Palace.

Seeing his mother anxiously waiting for him in the courtyard, he finally could no longer remain calm.

During the past few days in the prison, he had already thought about the worst outcome, but fortunately it was over now.

The prince rushed to the queen, knelt down and hugged her, and leaned his head on the queen aggrievedly.

The queen felt very distressed when she saw her son in such embarrassment. "This day has really wronged you, my good boy."

"Mother, what should my son do? He was framed for no reason. What should he do in the future?"

The pain of being locked up burst out at this moment. Even the prince, who was already a seven-foot man, couldn't help but hide in his mother's arms and cry bitterly.

The matter is far from resolved. No matter how calm the prince pretends to be, he can't hide the fear in his heart. He knows that from the day he becomes the prince, there is no turning back.

"Don't worry, my mother will always protect you."

After all, he returned to the East Palace. The prince stayed in his room, shutting up like a little girl and insisting on not showing up no matter who came to visit him.

His staff were scattered, and many of them defected to Sheng Jingxuan. He just took this opportunity to calm down. In this deep palace, if he didn't do anything to others, someone would do something to him.

Lu Wushuang continued to investigate the case of the palace maid in the palace. He had no way to explain to the emperor until the matter was cleared up.

After carefully investigating the palace maid's body, Lu Wushuang made a new discovery.

Although the dead palace maid did have a lot of external injuries, the real cause of death was poisoning.

Because the knife on the palace maid's neck was too obvious, they ignored it at first. The palace maid's lips turned blue, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning.

Not sure if it was his imagination, but he even felt that the appearance of the palace maid's death was somewhat similar to that of the deceased Lord Chamberlain.

Lu Wushuang didn't have time to think too much and quickly called for an autopsy. Unexpectedly, she found the same condition as the Minister of Civil Affairs, right on the back of her head.

It may be that the palace maid was thrown into the well after being breathless, and the Gu insects did not have time to come out after the death of the host, so the insects were actually under the skin. Lu Wushuang couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"Go and call two experienced operators, and by the way, take the body to Yizhuang."

Lu Wushuang knew in his heart that the appearance of Gu insects in this palace maid showed that this palace maid was not an innocent person in the first place. She was controlled by others just like the minister.

In this case, the so-called sister of the palace maid has become the most important witness.

Lu Wushuang didn't hesitate and went directly to the prison. Fortunately, before the case was solved, the palace maid who escaped privately had not been executed, so he still had a chance.

"I came here today to ask you something. If you tell the truth, I can plead with the emperor and let you out of the palace."

Lu Wushuang couldn't bear to see the woman covered in injuries, but after all, it was the emperor's order and he had no power to change it.

"Hmph, I won't believe a word of what you said. Don't you just want to clear the grievances of your Highness the Crown Prince? Dream on! If you kill my sister, you have to go down together to pay for her life!"

Lu Wushuang laughed instead of getting angry after hearing this.

"I was just ordered to investigate the case, not to clear anyone's grievances. As for the prince, he is already the crown prince. Do I really need to snatch any tokens of the late emperor?"
