Chapter 203 Revisiting old matters
Beichen Palace, Study
"Master, as you expected, there is indeed something wrong with that assassin."
"Oh?"
Di Ran was sitting at the desk with a book in his hand. He raised his brows slightly when he heard the words.
Di Yi told what happened in the Dali Temple: "Not long after Dali Temple Shaoqing Lu Hanyang left the prison, there was news that the assassin committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"I noticed something was wrong and went back to check. I saw that after the jailer left the cell, several men in black appeared and took the assassin away. They also disguised a death row prisoner as the assassin and threw him into the cell."
Hearing this, Di Ran was stunned and narrowed his eyes.
"You mean those men in black replaced the assassin with a death row inmate?"
"Yes."
Speaking of this, Di Yi was also very surprised.
I don't understand why those men in black would go to such great lengths to get a corpse?
It's just a suspicion.
"Later, Her Royal Highness's men came and took the fake assassin's body away. I wanted to chase the men in black, but I couldn't find their whereabouts."
"I have lost my life, please punish me, Master!"
Emperor Yi knelt on one knee and bowed his head to apologize.
Di Ran looked at Di Yi with cold eyes: "You did a good job, what crime have you committed?"
"Get up."
The emperor was slightly stunned, then bowed his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master!"
Stand up and stand aside.
"Besides these, are there any other discoveries?"
Di Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Master, the assassin previously used the excuse of revenge to assassinate the princess, but Lu Hanyang later discovered that the assassin was lying and suspected that he had other motives."
"It's just that the assassin was stubborn and unwilling to tell the truth. After Lu Hanyang left, news came that the assassin committed suicide."
"I wonder if there is some conspiracy behind this."
Di Ran's eyes were calm, and he said calmly, "Even if there is a conspiracy, it is not aimed at me." Di Yi was slightly stunned: "Master, what do you think?"
Di Ran said lazily: "There was news from the palace that after His Majesty summoned Lu Hanyang, he asked him to close the case immediately and stop investigating it. It seems that he is also suspicious of something."
What do you suspect?
What does the master mean?
Di Yi was confused.
Di Ran's cold voice came: "It's Lan Tuo She Ye."
Blue snake leaf?
The emperor frowned: Isn't that the poison that the princess was poisoned with?
What does this have to do with it?
Di Ran's cold eyes flickered slightly: "Lantuo Snake Leaf is a poisonous flower brought from the Western Regions. Its flowers cannot be eaten, and cannot be placed together with the Seven-Star Begonia."
"The late emperor once obtained a plant and gave it to his favorite servant, Ye Guijun. Later, the Ye family rebelled and the whole family was executed. Ye Guijun was poisoned to death, and the Blue Snake Leaf disappeared from then on, and there is no trace of it anymore."
Hearing what his master said, the emperor was slightly startled and his brows tightened slightly.
"Master, do you mean to doubt..."
But, wasn’t the entire Ye family executed?
How could anyone survive?
Di Ran said nonchalantly, "Back then, the Ye family had two generals who made great military achievements. In addition, the Seventh Princess has a very good reputation in the court and has many followers. It is not surprising that one or two of them want to avenge the Ye family."
Emperor Yi was still confused: "That being said, the late emperor has passed away. If we want revenge, shouldn't we look for the late emperor?"
How did you find the princess?
The princess back then should have still been a child, right?
"Heh~"
Di Ran's thin lips curled slightly: "Have you forgotten? Who was the person who benefited the most after the Seventh Princess fell?"
Hearing this, the emperor was stunned.
Who is the one who benefits?
At that time, apart from the Crown Princess, the Third Princess and the Seventh Princess were the most popular figures in the court.
After the Seventh Princess fell, it seemed that the Crown Princess and the Third Princess benefited, but in the end it was the Second Princess who had always been ignored who ascended the throne.
This inevitably makes people wonder how much the second princess planned and how much she did here during this period.
