Chapter 250 Leading the Investigation
"This... I didn't expect it to be like this." Emperor Dongli explained. Thinking of the relationship between the two children, he felt even more distressed.

"Stop talking! There must be a mistake! It must be!" Bai Qianxi raised her head and shouted angrily.

Emperor Dongli obviously didn't expect that the usually calm and composed man would react like this. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, "You are indeed my child. I know you can't accept it right away, but you and Yi'er..."

"Don't say anymore..." Bai Qianxi said immediately, "I want to be alone for a while!"

Her attitude was not good, but Emperor Dongli did not care at all. On the contrary, there was worry in his eyes. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I won't say anything more! You can accept it slowly. I won't force you!"

Bai Qianxi looked at the extremely nervous man in front of her, with complicated emotions in her eyes. She knew that what he said could not be false. After all, no emperor would be willing to accept someone else's child!

But whenever she thought that she and Ye Beiyi were siblings, her heart ached so much that she felt like she was suffocating.

Emperor Dongli also knew that he had failed the child, and he looked at Bai Qianxi with eyes full of heartache and apology.

"You should have a good rest first, don't worry! As for the murder case, I will have someone investigate it thoroughly!"

If he had known this would happen, he should have waited a bit before telling Xier, but the longer this matter took, the less he knew how to start the conversation.

Bai Qianxi nodded calmly, "Yeah!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Dongli left, looking back every few steps.

Bai Qianxi returned to her room, her mind was in turmoil and she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

"My Lord, you are awake now. I will help you wash up."

The next morning, just as Bai Qianxi got up, a palace maid spoke respectfully.

She was a little unresponsive for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"It was His Majesty's order, asking the servants to serve the young lady well." The attitudes of the few people remained respectful, and even when facing Bai Qianxi's doubts, they still explained in detail.

In fact, there was no need for them to say more, Bai Qianxi understood.

"County Lady, His Majesty has told you to wake up. If you are willing, please go to the front hall."

"Got it." Bai Qianxi nodded, "You guys put the things there, I can do it myself."

When she saw the person in front of her again, Bai Qianxi's mood had never been as complicated as it was now.

The expression of the person in front of me seemed to have regained his former dignity, and he didn't look as sad as he was last night, almost crying.

This made Bai Qianxi feel relieved, as she was afraid that the other party would be the same as last night.

"I wonder why your majesty asked me to come here?"

Looking at the person in front of him with a serious expression, Emperor Dongli couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He knew that she still hadn't accepted her identity.

But in front of everyone, Emperor Dongli still couldn't ask the question.

I can only pretend to cover up my cough.

"The thing is, Xuyang, you also know that so far, you are the most suspicious."

"But after careful consideration tonight, I decided to give you a chance. After all, there are indeed many doubts in this matter."

"So I decided to let you investigate this matter yourself, to give an explanation to yourself and the little prince."

Emperor Dongli gave Bai Qianxi a reassuring look.

Meeting the look he gave her, Bai Qianxi felt helpless.

Could you please control your excitement? You are afraid that the people behind the scenes may not be able to see that there is something fishy going on.
After their discussion last night, they decided to let Bai Qianxi investigate the matter herself. At the same time, this was also a bait.

It all depends on whether the person behind the scenes is willing to take the bait.

However, Emperor Dongli's words were instantly opposed by those around him.

The queen still showed her graceful and elegant appearance. "Your Majesty, you said that you have thought of how to deal with this matter today? Is this how you deal with it?" "Then what's the difference between this and the thief crying thief?"

"I don't necessarily disagree with your Majesty's opinion, but even if your Majesty has an idea in mind, it has to be a reliable idea."

"If we want to investigate a case, there are so many specialized people in the palace. Aren't they more capable than a little yellow-haired girl?"

As soon as the queen said this, everyone agreed with her instantly.

"What the Queen said makes sense. It is true. When it comes to investigating a case, we need someone special to do it."

"As for the county lady, I've only heard that she's a great doctor, but I've never heard that she can investigate any cases, let alone that she herself is——"

Having said this, the man seemed to be concerned about the presence of Emperor Dongli and did not speak any further.

The Queen also raised the corners of her bright red lips at this time, "Your Majesty, look, everyone thinks so..."

"What they think is their business! I just want to know what you, Queen, think." His sharp eyes fell on the Queen, making her unable to help but be shocked.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Nothing." Emperor Dongli retracted his gaze. "This matter is settled. I am not asking for your opinions. I am informing you."

In addition to asking Bai Qianxi to personally investigate the whole matter, Emperor Dongli also gave Bai Qianxi a high degree of autonomy.

and the right to move freely within the palace.

"Your Majesty!" The Queen wanted to speak again, but was quickly stopped by Emperor Dongli with a look.

With her men, Bai Qianxi quickly returned to the two crime scenes again. What happened yesterday happened so fast that she was caught off guard.

She had plenty of time today to investigate the matter.

First, on the pond side, Bai Qianxi looked at the terrain personally and began to observe it carefully.

The traces of pushing and shoving discovered yesterday have become a little old after a night.

But Bai Qianxi soon discovered it.

Such traces of pushing and shoving could only be formed when the little prince was standing very close to the edge of the pond.

It rained a few days ago, and the road along the pond was still moist even though it had been carefully maintained.

"You, come here."

"stand right here."

After simulating the situation in her mind, Bai Qianxi called another person.

Although this person was confused, he still followed Bai Qianxi's orders.

But when he just stood by the pond, he suddenly felt a push from behind, which startled him subconsciously.

It was too late to resist.

When the other companions saw this, they stepped forward to help.

"Okay, come back."

The cold voice sounded again, and the person with closed eyes suddenly opened them and felt a pulling force at the back of his neck.

Then, everyone returned to the shore safely.

"Did you see that? Not to mention a child, even an adult would be unable to put up any resistance if someone suddenly pushed him forward with enough force from behind."

"Not to mention, leaving any traces behind."
