Xiao Luzi said it as if it was a serious matter, but Chu Huaijin did not believe it.
"She won't commit suicide." He spoke with unusual determination.
"Ah…Your Majesty, they've found out.”Xiao Luzi bowed and reminded him in a low voice.
He understood Chu Huaijin's thoughts very well now. If possible, he probably hoped that Goddess Lin could come back to life, but…people could not come back to life.
"Zhen doesn't believe it, zhen doesn't believe it. Zhen won't believe a single word you say. Now, immediately go and investigate.”
Xiao Luzi didn't know why Lin Yueying wouldn't commit suicide. She was already living in so much pain, so what if she committed suicide?
Did she not even have the right to die after entering the palace?
Even though Xiao Luzi agreed, the doubt on his face didn't disappear. Chu Huaijin said in a hoarse voice,""Ying 'er's mother…the day after tomorrow will be her mother's death anniversary. She is such a filial person, she will definitely go to her grave to pay her respects.
How could she commit suicide at such a time?
Madam Lin was the most important person in Lin Yueying's heart. Even Chu Huaijin, whom she claimed to love to the bone, was no match for him in her heart.
There was even a time when the two of them had a conflict when they were paying their respects to Violet.
Chu Huaijin asked the young Lin Yueying out for a walk, but she unexpectedly refused.
Chu Huaijin did not understand and insisted on dragging her out. Later, Lin Yueying lost her temper with him.
That was the only time Lin Yueying was unhappy in the ten years they had been together.
For her mother.
He believed that if it was possible, she would wait until the day she paid her respects to Violet before she died.
Xiao Luzi's heart shook. He remembered it too. His body shook heavily and he almost lost his balance.
When one started to ignore someone, they would pretend to turn a blind eye to everything about him.
However, when a person began to value someone, they would recall and magnify the things that they had neglected in the past. Their only attempt was to find more clues.
This was Chu Huaijin at this moment.
He had Xiao Luzi use the Cold Palace as the center and quickly investigate. The more he investigated, the more suspicious the matter seemed.
"Emperor, there's a set of footprints outside the Cold Palace…"
"Emperor, there is the smell of kerosene on the flower path of the Cold Palace.”
"Your Majesty…"
A day later, all the information he had found was sent to Chu Huaijin's table in the royal study.
"Tell me now, how did she die? How did the Cold Palace catch fire?”
Pointing at all the evidence, Chu Huaijin slammed the table hard, and the memorials on it fell to the ground.
"This servant…This servant was negligent." Xiao Luzi kneeled down with a thud and picked up the memorials that kept falling down in a flurry.
Chu Huaijin acted as if he couldn't see anything. He only cared about the evidence in front of him that proved that Lin Yueying didn't light the fire in the Cold Palace herself.
"Zhen can give you a chance to atone for your sins now. Before noon tomorrow, Zhen must capture the person who instigated it.”Chu Huaijin gritted his teeth.
Xiao Luzi bowed repeatedly and said,"This servant obeys."”The small path that slowly retreated actually already had a direction to investigate. He was just missing the last piece of evidence. He had to find it.
It was another morning with heavy snow.
The palace was covered in white. Chu Huaijin had been like a walking corpse these few days. He mechanically went to court and listened to the requests of the civil and military officials. Then, he mechanically returned to the royal study and faced the memorials that were getting higher and higher.
In the three days that Lin Yueying had left, he had not read a single memorial.
They were no longer the career that he had been most concerned about, but the thing that he hated the most...
"Emperor, this servant has already investigated. Please come with this servant.”Xiao Luzi came over with a solemn expression.
Chu Huaijin snapped out of his daze and looked at Xiao Luzi, who had suddenly changed his appearance. He said coldly,""Lead the way."
The destination of this trip was the new Empress Shen Pan 'er's palace, Jingning Palace.
"The emperor is here. Long live the emperor.”Shen Pan 'er immediately beamed when she saw Chu Huaijin.
This was the first time he had set foot in her palace after she was conferred the title of Empress.
She didn't know what was wrong with him these past few days. He didn't care about her at all and didn't take her to heart at all.
Even the little palace maid she sent to invite him dared to ignore her. Later, she even felt that she was annoying if she went too much and directly asked the guards to stop her.
She was terrified and kept wondering if she had done something wrong to anger him.
However, the palace was so big and his territory was everywhere. The people she sent out could not even see his shadow.
But now, he was standing in front of her, but his face was no longer the gentle smile that he had when he saw her in the past. Instead, it was so cold that it made people's hearts tremble.
At this moment, Shen Pan 'er finally understood how Lin Yueying felt back then.
At that time, she was still Chu Huaijin's beloved. She leaned into his arms and listened to him use his cold words to stab Lin Yueying. She only felt happy when she saw her in pain.
But now, that person had changed to her so quickly. She suddenly wondered if she had done the right thing back then.
"Xiao Luzi, what are you trying to say?" Xiao Luzi only brought him over and did not say anything, so Chu Huaijin's eyes were cold and not completely targeted at Shen Pan 'er.
"Emperor, the mastermind behind the arson of the Cold Palace that you asked this servant to find is here.”
" How dare you…" Shen Pan 'er's heart skipped a beat. Before he could finish speaking, she immediately stopped him from continuing.
Chu Huaijin's sharp eyes glared at her as he scolded coldly,""Let him continue."
" This servant has already investigated clearly. The instigator of the arson in the Cold Palace is the Empress…"
Shen Pan 'er's heart was heavy. She looked at the little palace maid beside her and saw that she kept blinking at her. Her heart instantly relaxed.
She couldn't panic now. If she panicked, she would be seized by the opportunity to bite her.
"Evidence? Bengong is the empress personally conferred by the empress, you are just a little slave, what right do you have to say whatever you want?”
Shen Pan 'er tried her best to calm herself down and pretended that nothing had happened.
Chu Huaijin looked at her calm appearance and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. His eyes swept over Xiao Luzi.
"Emperor, this servant naturally has evidence.”Xiao Luzi pointed behind him.
The curtains of the tent fluttered, sending gusts of cold wind. Following the wind, a petite and delicate figure entered everyone's eyes.
Chu Huaijin only took a glance and saw that it was just an ordinary palace maid. He unnaturally looked away."Is this the evidence you mentioned?"
Before Xiao Luzi could answer, Shen Pan 'er's eyes widened when she saw that person. She covered her mouth and screamed," Ah... there's a ghost, there's a ghost..." Daguan Time:122120184:14AM
