Cute fox princess

Chapter 20
Bai Xiyan looked at the figure of the woman in goose-yellow clothes, and thought to herself, she was probably the only person at the banquet who cared about Qi Rumo's life and death besides her.After all, Qi Rumo was luckier than her. If she died, I'm afraid, except Qi Rumo, no one else would care about her.

"Yao'er! Come back quickly! Don't mess around!" An angry voice rang out, a middle-aged man with whiskers looked at the woman in goose yellow clothes very ironically.

From the words of others, Bai Xiyan knew that the man was Song Gang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the woman in the goose yellow dress was his only daughter, Song Yao.

Song Yao was very pretty, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had always been the favorite of the nobles in the palace.It's a pity that a year ago, Song Yao fell in love with the mediocre Ninth Prince for some reason, which caused all the young princes to sigh.

"Mo'er is my son. I will do my best to save her." Qi Haohan just glanced at Song Yao lightly, with displeasure in his eyes, and said coldly.

Song Yao looked at Qi Haohan, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.Under Song Gang's threatening eyes, he returned to his seat trembling.

Sitting beside Qi Haohan, Liu Xinya seemed to have a worried look in her eyes, but the slight sneer at the corner of her mouth betrayed her heart at the moment.She looked at Hen Yue and said with annoyance, "Miss Hen Yue, how dare you murder the current prince?"

Hen Yue's body trembled slightly, but she lowered her head, tightly pursed her lips, her peach blossom-like eyes were full of firmness.It seems that such a result has long been expected.

Bai Xiyan originally just lay quietly beside Qi Rumo.Because she didn't believe that this man with such powerful strength would die so easily.But when she heard Liu Xinya's words, she raised her blue eyes.

The smile on Liu Xinya's face was so natural, full of annoyance and worry.If it wasn't for Bai Xiyan's keen senses and the sneer she just saw sliding across her cheeks, she would almost have been deceived.

It was obviously Liu Xinya who instigated Hen Yue to poison him, so why did she still question Hen Yue like this.Bai Xiyan couldn't figure it out, she just felt that this banquet was really complicated.

However, she didn't have the energy to think about it that much.She only hoped that Qi Haohan could send someone to find Chen Xiang, even though she knew this hope was slim.

"I know that I deserve to die, so I have nothing to say." Hen Yue raised her eyes, and a pair of affectionate eyes quickly slid past the eyes of the third prince Qi Rulin, with a look of death.

Although she didn't say anything, this glance can't help but arouse people's daydream.

"You are a brothel girl, why do you want to murder the prince? Tell me, who ordered you?" Qi Haohan stared at Hen Yue coldly. Although he didn't care about Qi Rumo's life or death, someone dared to do it under his nose. If such a thing happened, he would embarrass him in front of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, he would definitely not let it go!
Hen Yue just pursed her lips tightly, and said coldly: "The emperor should kill the slave family. The slave family doesn't know anything!"

"Hmph! It's a good one who doesn't know anything!" Qi Haohan became more angry, and his face became more and more ugly. He stared at Hen Yue coldly, as if he wanted to see through her.

"My Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." A middle-aged man in a crimson gown glanced at Hen Yue, knelt down beside Hen Yue, and said.

Bai Xiyan just glanced lightly.What should be said or not should be said? When you ask this question, you clearly want to say it, so why bother doing those superficial efforts?The people here are so fake.

"Say!" Qi Haohan's expression was already very ugly, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to play sloppy with this official, so he just said a word coldly.

"Yesterday, I saw the third prince go to Tianxiang Tower to find Miss Henyue." The man in the crimson gown lowered his head, and said cautiously.

When Hen Yue heard the man's words, her whole body trembled violently, as if someone had hit something, she raised her eyes in panic, and said hastily: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Third Prince!"

This sentence uttered, but it only became darker and darker.From the moment when Henyue looked at the third prince just now, to now she panickedly defending the third prince, it seems that the third prince is the one who ordered her, and she seems to have some affection for the third prince.

On the surface, it seems that this matter is very logical. If she hadn't seen the change in the expressions of the empress and the prince just now, Bai Xiyan would probably think so.

Gradually, she became clear in her heart that this seemed to be a situation. The queen and the crown prince ordered Chen Yue to kill Qi Rumo with poison, and then put the blame on the third prince Qi Rulin, so vicious.She just couldn't figure it out, they were obviously relatives, why did they design each other in such a vicious way?

"Lin'er, what do you have to say?" Qi Haohan's eyes flashed a cold look, and he looked at Qi Rulin lightly, with dull anger in his tone, like a cloud of dark clouds hanging over the sky.

The whole banquet was shrouded in a dull atmosphere.The ministers all showed cautious looks, for fear that the emperor's anger would implicate them.Only the envoys from the Three Kingdoms still carried the calmness they had when they arrived, as if they were just watching a show.

Qi Rulin lifted the corner of his clothes, knelt beside Henyue, without even looking at Henyue, and said in a calm tone, "I did go to Tianxiang Tower yesterday, but it was only at the invitation of Miss Henyue. I listened to a few tunes, nothing else."

Qi Rulin was wearing a long black gown, just like his stern aura.He raised his eyes to look at the prince, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "My son is just an ordinary prince, it would be beneficial to harm the ninth brother? Besides, if my son really set up such a scheme, how could it be possible for him to People saw Erchen looking for Hen Yue?"

What he said was watertight.First, he cleared up his own suspicions, and then pointed out that it was not he, but the crown prince, who had the most motive to murder Qi Rumo.

When Qi Haohan heard Qi Rulin's words, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, how could he not understand what Qi Rulin said.This matter seems to have complete evidence, and Qi Rulin must have done it without a doubt, but the more certain things seem to be, the more uncertain they are.

He didn't choose to poison in normal times, but he chose to be at the banquet of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.Instead of murdering the crown prince and other somewhat powerful princes, he singled out Qi Rumo, who was the least powerful. I'm afraid that the person who poisoned him was not Qi Rumo, but Qi Rulin, who really wanted to kill him.

Qi Rulin is the most talented among the many princes.She is deep and introverted, and her mother Liu Guifei is second only to the empress in power, and with a great general as her backing, her power is not insignificant.Then, the person who wants to get rid of Qi Rulin is probably...
