Chapter 138 This poem seems familiar

"Then according to the Grand Tutor, this matter is related to Prince Ning'an."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and spoke to Master Wen in a cold voice.

This is no small matter.

Even if it was a frame-up, His Majesty might treat it as a true story.

After all, the Ning'an Palace has already handed over the military power, and now it is meat on the chopping board.

Lu Yuan became even more suspicious of Master Wen.

After all, it was Grand Tutor Wen who promoted Ye Hanlin.

Only when Ye Hanlin’s official position was promoted could he establish connections with other people.

"Lord Lu has said that. I did not say that. It's just that the Ning'an Palace may have been deceived just like me."

Master Wen is a sly man, how could he directly say that this matter is related to the Ning'an Palace?

"But Lord Wen, the Crown Prince has been assassinated. If it weren't for the Crown Prince, it would have been His Majesty who was in trouble today. This is a serious matter. Since your Wen family knows the clues and knows that it may be related to the Xuannv Cult.

I hope you won’t hide it anymore.”

Lu Yuan did not continue speaking in accordance with what Grand Master Wen said.

He continued to lead the topic to the Xuannv Sect.

Since Wen Qing said that this was done by the Xuannv Sect, then the Wen family must know something.

"Lord Lu, no matter what my father did, he never brought anyone to the Qiuyue Banquet. You released Prince Ning'an and his family from the palace long ago. What's the point of holding on to my father?"

Said tenderly unhappily.

The first person Lu Yuan let go was King Ning'an. Lu Yuan had his own selfish motives.

But he did feel that Prince Ning'an could not have been involved in this matter.

So he deliberately asked the emperor whether he could first ask the royal family and then release them from the palace.

But the first person Lu Yuan asked was Xuan Jiuqing, King Rui.

Xuan Jiuqing had already given up hope; he didn't expect his competitor to die so soon.

He could not defeat the prince, but he was still very confident when facing the prince's son Xuan Yi.

So at this time, how could Xuan Jiuqing leave the palace? He had to stay and keep vigil for the prince.

Xuan Jiuqing did not leave the palace, and neither did the royal family members.

After all, there is a place for them to rest in the palace.

But Prince Ning'an had no connections in the palace and had no place to rest, so he could naturally leave.

Some people left one after another later.

None of these people said that this matter was related to King Ning'an.

One reason was that the incident happened too suddenly, and they didn't have enough staff in the palace to investigate in time who brought Ye Ling here.

The second reason is that Lu Yuan and Ning'an Palace have too close a relationship.

Even if I knew about this, I wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

It would be bad if we offended the Ning'an Palace at that time.

"Miss Wen, didn't you say that the assassin who assassinated His Majesty was from the Xuannv Sect? How come you have become the King of Ning'an at this moment? Are you doubting my judgment?"

Lu Yuan said to Wen Qing sternly.

Maybe the hat Lu Yuan picked was too big. Wen Qing didn't dare to speak for a moment.

The reason why Wen Qing felt that the assassination was carried out by Xuannv Sect was simply because the largest evil cult in Sheng State was Xuannv Sect, and all the assassins were women.

The most important thing is that she knows some secrets of the Xuannv Sect.

She once had a good friend whose family was destroyed by the Xuannv Sect. She was forced to join the Xuannv Sect and became a lowly prostitute. She couldn't even die, but she called it a physical offering.

Wen Qing knew the horror of Xuannv Sect, and also knew its darkness.

And Ye Ling has a very special temperament.

Wen Qing felt that her temperament was very similar to that of the followers of Xuannv Sect.

So she felt that this matter was closely related to the Xuannv Sect, and she also wanted to use this case to let the court investigate the Xuannv Sect strictly and avenge her friend.

No innocent people will die.

But Wen Qing didn't expect that Lu Yuan would hold her tightly and ask her for detailed evidence.

How could she casually say those things? What would happen to her reputation?

"Lord Lu is so majestic!"

Just as Lu Yuan was severely questioning Wen Qing and Grand Tutor Wen, Crown Prince Xuan Yi walked in.

As soon as Wen Qing saw Xuan Yi, tears welled up in her eyes, and she called out to Xuan Yi in a wronged tone: "Brother-in-law."

The word "brother-in-law" almost made Xuan Yi's heart melt.

When did you ever look at him like this tenderly?

As tenderness and gentleness, they are both very proud of him.

Normally, I wouldn't look at her with such eagerness.

He hurried forward and hugged her tenderly, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

After hearing Xuan Yi's words, Wen Qing's expression relaxed a lot. Therefore, Wen Qing suppressed the nausea in her heart and just quietly took a step back. Master Wen reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward and saluted Xuan Yi.

"Why are you so polite, father-in-law?"

Xuan Yi immediately bowed to Grand Tutor Wen.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing Xuan Yi being so protective of his son, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown, but he still bowed to Xuan Yi.

After all, everyone followed suit.

Xuan Yi didn't even look at Lu Yuan, but directly took Wen Qing's hand and said: "Xiao Qing, you must have been frightened today, you should go back and rest first."

Xuan Yi's words made Wen Qing's negative emotions less intense. Knowing that she could go home soon, Wen Qing lowered her head, nodded obediently, and walked out.

After Wen Qing left, Xuan Yi looked at Lu Yuan coldly and said, "Master Wen is my father-in-law, how could he be related to the assassin? What's more, I have already checked and found that Ye Ling was indeed brought into the palace by someone from Ning'an Palace. Lord Lu did not question Ning'an Palace, but let the people from Ning'an Palace go and chased Master Wen for questioning. What is his intention!"

Being questioned by Xuan Yi like this, even a seasoned man like Lu Yuan couldn't help but change color.

But he quickly recovered: "I don't doubt the Grand Master, I just want to be cautious..."

"Cautious?" Xuan Yi sneered, his tone mocking: "Although you passed the imperial examination at a young age, you can't even distinguish right from wrong. Now you are like this again, is it because you think you can ignore the laws of the court because of your high position?"

After hearing Xuan Yi's words, Lu Yuan's face turned pale.

"Your Highness, Grand Master Wen, I just read Ye Hanlin's poems and found that some of them look familiar! Because I come from a poor family and don't have much literary talent, the maid beside me thought of finding a ghostwriter to write a few poems for me, so that I won't be laughed at when I attend the banquet. One of the poems here is somewhat similar to the one written by the ghostwriter.

When I first saw this poem, I was amazed. I knew that with my literary talent, if I wrote such a poem, people would immediately see that it was not written by me, and I would be laughed at. That’s why I was deeply impressed by this poem.”

Xu Qiuyue suddenly took the poem that Master Wen brought out and said to Xuan Yi.
