Unexpectedly, Murong Leng seemed to be even more interested in Li Ming, and she continued to ask, "What are you going to do today? "Who's the partner?"

Li Ming paused for a moment, and answered her question in great detail, "This little one's hands and feet are too rough, I can't serve you from the side. To prevent guests from falling into the pond after drinking too much, Leng Qiu made small people stay by the pond without partners. When I went to the latrine, the banquet had not yet begun. "

Prince Consort Ma had discovered that they were missing at the start of the banquet, but it was hard to determine which of them were early or late. Princess Chengping didn't know why she kept holding on to this person, it was clear that this Chief Eunuch Zhang was even more suspicious.

"Murong Ling, what do you mean? According to what the princess says, the steward of your Duke Palace is the real culprit." She slapped the table. "Still, do you want to protect him?"

Zhang Mingde lowered his head humbly, his suspicions, fear and nervousness undiscernible. It was as if the Princess Chengping wasn't talking about him, and even Murong Ling had some doubts in her heart, not knowing which power he belonged to.

For example, why did he drag Xu Shilong's body into the bushes, and why did he help Jiang Yunyin finish her story? Or was he afraid of being seen by more people and causing unnecessary commotion? After he hid the corpse, he turned around and went back to the banquet to tell her. He seemed to be loyal to his master, but he also called her Broken Bottle when Princess Chengping and the Prince Zhao first arrived, and tricked her.

Could he also be someone from the Prince Zhao? It seemed that after this matter was over, she would have the flowers of her race take effect.

Murong Ling sighed, his motive was unknown, so she decided to temporarily ignore it. After all, he did not kill anyone, and was not an accomplice, the true accomplice was the ordinary Li Ming in front of him.

"Princess Chengping, if you want to catch the culprit, shut up!"

"What are you saying? Right now, your Prince Qin's Palace is killing someone and you're still acting so arrogantly. Do you really think this princess has no one else!?" Princess Chengping, who was experiencing the pain of losing her husband, was immediately angered by her tone. If it wasn't for the servant beside her being restricted from moving, and couldn't go out to report, how could she fight alone?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Prince Consort Ye had died, but she didn't even have the right to question him.

At this moment, Murong Ling, who did not have a single trace of grief or panic on her face, was extremely eye-catching. Her calmness and calmness was the only thing that mattered to her, was it because the person who died had nothing to do with her?

"Murong Ling, don't go too far!" She grabbed the teacup on the table, filled it with scalding tea and poured it all over Murong Ling's face.

Murong Ling frowned. Suddenly, her vision blurred and she saw Li Cangmin standing right in front of her. The scalding tea was poured all over his back, dyeing him dark red.

"I can dodge it, why are you blocking me!?" Have you been scalded? " Murong Ling looked at his wet back, her tone was a little anxious, and turned to angrily glare at the set board like guards, "Bai Mu! How did you protect your master! "

"Your subordinate knows his mistake." However, he would still make that mistake next time.

Bai Mu said in his heart with an innocent face. He was protecting his master and not his wangfei, but who knew his master would rush forward to be a hero and save the beauty. When the tea was spilled, he also hesitated for a moment, thinking he should rush up to stop it. But now, it seemed that his hesitation just now was right. He dared to steal the limelight from his master, it wasn't as if he was going to lose his life.

Look at the gentle eyes of the mistress who has been cared for by the princess.

It was unknown how Bai Mu managed to perceive the gentleness coming from his, but in Murong Ling's eyes, the current Li Cangmin was no different from his usual self. His face was straight and handsome, and his expression was as deep as a pool.

The only thing that could be called surpassing her was to grab her hand and say calmly, "I'm fine. It's just hot tea. It can't hurt me."

Murong Ling was startled, her mind was confused if she was concerned. The person in front of her was not a foolish Prince Qin, but a Element Building Stage expert who was even more powerful than her.

It was a complicated word to say that concern would lead to chaos.

She was stunned, causing Li Cangmin to take another look, but he quickly shifted his gaze away. When he looked at Princess Chengping again, his gaze was cold to the point that it was freezing.

The hand he placed on the table knocked lightly. Bai Mu immediately reacted, and under the Princess Chengping's panic-stricken gaze, he extended his hand and pressed her acupoint, "Princess, sorry for the offense."

Princess Chengping's eyes were almost spitting fire. Li Fuchen raised his eyelids, and said in an extremely disapproving tone, "Royal Brother, it's normal for a Prince Consort to die suddenly, and get a bit agitated. It's too much if you let your subordinate point it out, she's our sister after all."

Li Cangmin sat back down on his seat and loosened his grip on Murong Ling's hand, "If it wasn't for this duke being concerned about my bloodline, she would have already met her Prince Consort."

Princess Chengping's face was intertwined with blue and white, yet Li Fuchen didn't make a sound, as if he had never met Li Cangmin. He stared at him in a daze, his eyes darkened, as though he was thinking about something.

Fortunately, her current Spiritual Sense was powerful and her memory was exceptional. However, in the blink of an eye, she remembered, and looked at Li Ming, "Who did you go to the latrine to ask for a leave from? When did you get it back?"

The administration of the manor had its own methods. The servants were not allowed to walk around as they wished, let alone at banquets. Once a post was assigned, they had to be guarded, and when they left, they had to apply for leave from their superiors.

Of course, there were always people who took advantage of the fact that the manager was not paying attention to move around randomly. At this time, Li Ming pretended to be a guilty conscience and carefully said, "Royal Concubine, please forgive me. This lowly one thought that it wouldn't be long before I go to the latrine, so I decided to take a leave of absence."

In other words, no one had noticed his whereabouts, and no one knew how long he'd been gone.

The trial seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Murong Ling knew Li Ming's whereabouts like the back of his hand, but he couldn't reveal the way she knew it, it was impossible for her to testify to his whereabouts. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wasted her effort to interrogate him. Of course, she could stop questioning, regardless of whether Princess Chengping believed it or not, she could just say that he was the accomplice. She had always relied on her fists to speak.

However, there was also Prince Zhao on the side who was eyeing her covetously. She had no choice but to consider the chain reaction that would occur because if the culprit was not clearly and clearly found out, the Prince Qin Palace would become the target of public criticism.

Seeming to be able to see through her predicament, Li Cangmin looked at her, and a dark light flashed past his eyes. "It's fine if you can't find his, as long as this king is here, we'll kill them all."

Murong Ling remembered his ruthlessness, the corners of her mouth twitched, "Don't, I still have a trump card, it's useless." After saying that, she turned to the master pet contract and said, "Ghost Vine, how are things on your side? Can you do it?"
