The person brought by the guards was Zi'er, the personal maid next to the prince.

The prince's mansion is now strictly investigating the murderer who poisoned the prince, but Zi'er is going to secretly leave the mansion at this time. No matter how you look at it, there are problems.

"Why did you leave the mansion at this time? Is the prince's poisoning related to you?" The queen temporarily moved her attention away from Lin Yingxue and began to interrogate Zi'er.

However, Zi'er knelt on the ground and said nothing, with a cold expression.

Zi'er's attitude undoubtedly angered the queen - the maids around the prince are all born in the family and have grown up with the prince since childhood, and some of them were even selected by her own hands. But now there are such people around the prince. How can she, a mother, not be surprised or angry?

"If you tell me the matter out now, I can leave you with a whole body, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" The corner of the queen's mouth twitched gently, and because she was too excited, the queen's headache was caused again.

The queen held her forehead and sat on the chair with Honglian's support. Honglian frowned and took out the pills she carried with her from her sleeve and put the tea on the queen's side.

The people in the hall watched this scene, and everyone had a nervous look floating on their faces, but none of them dared to speak.

"...I'm sorry to the prince." After a while, Zi'er kowtowed to the queen, then got up and quickly rushed towards the pillar beside her.

Lin Yingxue happened to be the closest person to Zi'er, so she was reflexive and wanted to reach out to stop her, but she was one step too late after all.

Zi'er's words just now clearly proved that she was the one who poisoned her, but Zi'er is dead now, so she may be even more difficult to clear her suspicion.

Lin Yingxue was feeling in her heart secretly, but suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She turned her head and saw that everyone in the hall was looking at her indifferently. Even Fang Mengru's face couldn't help but look a little surprised and suspicious.

Could it be that her actions just now made the people in the hall misunderstand that she and Zi'er were in the same group?

A feeling of powerlessness gradually rose from Lin Yingxue's body. She turned her head and looked at the queen, and saw that when the queen looked at her, her face no longer had the same kindness as before.

"It's not me." This is the only thing Lin Yingxue can say, a weak and powerless defense.

Of course, no one believed her in the end.

"Lin Yingxue, you are in vain that I and the prince trust you so much, but you have done such a thing!" Anger and pain were intertwined in the queen's face, "For the past friendship, if you tell me the matter, I might consider letting you go."

The situation finally reached the worst.

Lin Yingxue smiled dejectedly, and Mingli's face began to become dim. "All this has nothing to do with Yingxue, and Yingxue has nothing to explain."

Lin Yingxue looked at the direction where the queen was, with her eyes calm and firm.

But the queen had lost trust in Lin Yingxue. No matter what Lin Yingxue said, the queen would not believe it. "Don't be rude! Do you really think that I dare not touch you?"

"Mother!" Seeing that the queen seemed to be really angry with Lin Yingxue, Fang Mengru hesitated for a moment and still stood up. "Mother, Yingxue, my concubine and the prince have been friends for so long, maybe there is any misunderstanding in this."

"At present, Xiaoqing's one-sided words alone cannot prove anything. It's not too late to find something in the future. Queen Mother will come and deal with Yingxue." Fang Mengru stood in front of Lin Yingxue and begged.

After hearing this, the queen hesitated for a while before looking at Lin Yingxue deeply and said, "Okay, since the Crown Princess pleads for you, I will let you go for the first time, but-"

The first half of the queen's words made Fang Mengru feel relieved, and then she heard the queen say, "Come on, take County Lord Yuhui to take good care of her. Before the truth is found out, County Lord Yuhui must not step out of the room!"

Is she going to be under house arrest?

Lin Yingxue knew that the queen was angry at this time. No matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she simply said nothing, just let the guard drag her down without saying a word.

The light in the room sneaked away bit by bit, but Lin Yingxue did not light a candle. The decorations in the room gradually became dim as the light passed, and everything turned into various strange, dark shadows in Lin Yingxue's eyes.

Her world is dark.

Just when it was completely dark outside the window, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Lin Yingxue looked up at the door and saw Murong Jun walking in from outside the door like a beam of light.

"Why don't you light a candle?" Lin Yingxue felt her eyes a little astringent when the familiar voice sounded.

Soon the room was filled with warm yellow light. The sudden light made Lin Yingxue feel a little unbearable. She narrowed her eyes and tried to adapt for a while before getting used to the light in the room.

"How is the prince?" Lin Yingxue asked hesitantly.

"I haven't woken up yet." Murong Ju walked to Lin Yingxue's side and reached out to take Lin Yingxue into his arms.

"But the doctor said that the poison in my brother's body was not formed overnight, but it has been at least three years." Murong Jun's voice was very light, like a ball of warm water slowly wrapping Lin Yingxue's cold heart.

Lin Yingxue blinked her dry eyes, but she didn't feel as relaxed as she imagined. "I started planning a few years ago, and I don't know who the person behind this is."

It is really not easy to bribe the closest people around the prince to poison the prince for so long and it has only been discovered until now.

"Well, if the eldest brother hadn't been cured for a long time, the doctor gave some strong medicine, but the medicine conflicted with the toxicity in the eldest brother's body, causing the eldest brother to cough up blood and fall into a coma. I'm afraid that the poison would not be discovered until the eldest brother is terminally ill." Murong Jun said this and said it was not without fear.

After the two hugged each other for a while, suddenly a maid brought in from outside.

The maid put the food on the table with a faint face. After that, she left without even giving a greeting.

"I haven't eaten for a day, so I'll eat something first." Murong Jun wanted to pull Lin Yingxue up from the ground, but he just pulled it for a while but didn't pull it.

He couldn't help but look down, and saw Lin Yingxue holding her head up and looking at him with her black and bright eyes.

"Are the Empress still suspicious of me?" If she had cleared her suspicion, the maid who had just come in would not have such an attitude, and Murong Jun would not let her stay here.

So all this only shows that her suspicion has not been cleared, and she will still be under house arrest in this guest room in the next day.

Murong Jun did not answer, but the hesitation flashed through him had already told Lin Yingxue the answer.

"I really haven't done anything to hurt the prince." The feeling of powerlessness rose from Lin Yingxue's heart again.

"Yes." Murong Jun still answered lightly, and there was no sign of too much emotion on his face. "Let's have dinner first." He almost hugged Lin Yingxue from the ground with force.

Lin Yingxue noticed Murong Jun’s attitude abnormality, and her heart ached slightly, “Does the Third Prince not tell Yingxue anything else?”

She shook Murong Jun's hand away and slowly took two steps back.

Seeing Lin Yingxue pretending to be prepared, how could Murong Jun feel good? "Do you have nothing to tell me?"

The implication is that it is actually Lin Yingxue hiding something from him.

Lin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat. She did think of something, but she couldn't say it.

"When did the Third Prince learn to beat around the bush?" She calmed down, but in fact, the hand hidden in her sleeve had already been tightly held, and the slender nails poked deeply into the palm of her hand.

The slight pain from the palm of the hand reminded Lin Yingxue not to lose her mind.

Seeing that Lin Yingxue was unwilling to confess until now, a hint of disappointment flashed across Murong Jun's face.

"A few days ago, the maid next to Yingxiang accidentally saw you and your fifth brother meet in private." Murong felt aching when she said this.

He hopes that Lin Yingxue can give him a reasonable explanation, and as long as Lin Yingxue says she has no relationship with Murong Xun, he will believe it.

He believed it as long as it was what she said.

But Lin Yingxue was unable to deny the relationship between her and Murong Xun as he thought.

Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun looked at each other silently. In the silence, both of them seemed to hear "clicks" sounds coming from each other's bodies.

That's the sound of something cracking.

——Lin Yingxue also wanted to tell a small lie to make up the matter. But she could deceive anyone without blinking, but she couldn't speak to the person in front of her, not to mention that she might have to do something that would "harm" the person in front of her in the future.

"I have thought about the betrayal of anyone, but I have never thought that one day you will stand against me." At the moment of speaking, all the pity, pampering and heartache disappeared from Murong Jun's face, and the only thing that was left was indifference.

And, cold.

After Murong Jun said this, he turned around and left without looking back, and the door was closed with a "bang".

There was still light in the room, but this time Lin Yingxue felt that her world was completely dark.

Autumn is coming, and the sycamore trees in the yard are swaying by the wind, and the leaves are rustling.

Murong Jun stood quietly under the tree for more than an hour, and Fang Mengru also watched in the house for more than an hour.

"Have you asked clearly? Is there any misunderstanding?" Fang Mengru walked forward, with a little worried.

"The prince's affairs have nothing to do with her, but..." She might have made another decision to be sorry for him. Murong Jun hadn't said it yet, but just thought about it in his heart, and he would feel heartbroken.

The person he thought he would never betray him, but he chose someone else after all.

Seeing Murong Jun enduring his pain even though he tried his best to endure his pain, Fang Mengru felt a little uncomfortable, but this kind of uncomfortable feeling was not just because of the person in front of her.

"...I always think Yingxue is not that kind of person." Fang Mengru whispered after a while.
