The more he spoke, the more excited General An became. He clenched his fists and wanted to tear Prince Rong in half. Prince Rong said with a sad face: "Father-in-law, that's my wife and daughter, my biological daughter. Do you think I would do such a thing?" General An said bluntly: "What can't you do? You don't even let your goddaughter go!" Prince Rong's face darkened immediately. In just one day, the news that Prince Rong married his pregnant goddaughter to Lord Li spread throughout the streets and alleys. General An has always known that his daughter did not allow Prince Rong to take a concubine, and he also knew that Prince Rong was resentful of his daughter because of this. Now that these two things happened so suddenly, he couldn't help but connect the two things together.

Prince Rong came back to his senses slightly, half-closed his eyes, avoided their gazes, and knelt down to General An and said: "Father-in-law, that was indeed my fault, but I have explained it clearly to my wife, and she has forgiven me. How could I kill her for this matter?"

The old monarch also felt that General An's idea was a bit absurd, "General An, no matter how bad the relationship between my brother and his sister-in-law is, it will not cost someone's life. Besides, people are all made of flesh and blood. Who would do something to their own daughter?"

As he said, he patted their shoulders and said: "You two are too sad, why don't you go into the house and have a good rest first."

General An didn't listen, he said angrily: "King, I can't let my daughter and granddaughter die so unclearly."

As he said, he turned around and ordered the people behind him: "Go, bring all the people in Prince Rong's Mansion here."

"Yes, General."

Prince Rong was not afraid either. His men had been in the dark all the time, and now they were probably hiding far away.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. For their sake, I will definitely find out who the murderer is." After saying that, he also imitated General An and ordered the people behind him: "Bring everyone in the mansion, even the groom, to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The servants withdrew one after another, and soon the yard was full of people.

They were all maids and servants in the mansion.

And then there were several bed-warming maids in Prince Rong's room.

General An sent people to interrogate them one by one.

Three or four hours passed, and nothing was found.

When Prince Rong thought that his big thing was going to be done, he heard General An's guards running hurriedly, "General, General, we found a suspicious person."

General An stood up suddenly and asked anxiously, "What suspicious person?"

I saw several armored soldiers behind the guards pressing a man in black.

The man in black was covered with wounds, and his dull eyes looked ahead, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Prince Rong froze in place. Wasn't this the man he had arranged to set the fire?

How did he appear here?

Where did the wound come from?

Last night, the black-clad man had really bad luck.

Du Wanchun and Han Yan'er also stayed at the Rong Palace because of Princess Rong's request.

She discovered that the black-clad man was secretly setting fire in the backyard of Princess Rong and Miss Xiang'er.

The black-clad man had just lit the fire and was about to put away the tinder when he ran into two wild cats.

First, the tinder in his hand fell, and then he was chased by the two wild cats.

The black-clad man raised his long sword and tried to drive away the wild cats, but there were more and more wild cats.

They all had green eyes and stretched out their sharp claws, as if they wanted to cut him into pieces.

In order not to attract attention, the black-clad man had to flee quickly.

But somehow, no matter how he escaped, he couldn't leave the palace.

Seeing the fire burning more and more fiercely, and more and more people were alarmed, he had to flee to the empty yard of the palace.

The wild cats followed him all the way, and finally stopped in the corridor of a dilapidated yard.

This used to be the yard of a confidante of Prince Rong. At the beginning, he had not married the current Princess Rong, and he loved this woman very much. But later, for power and status, Prince Rong decided to marry the young lady of the An family.

So he sent someone to strangle this confidante here, and even hid the body in the cracks of the stone of this house.

It was as if this woman had never been here.

The person who was responsible for killing this woman was this man in black.
