Chapter 97.

But Liu Xinning looked anxious on her face, but she was calm in her heart.

There is no king's soil under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the soil.

Even though Emperor Qingping was the eldest princess' elder brother, he was also the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty.

If they quarreled, even if Emperor Qingping reluctantly disposed of his son according to the wishes of the eldest princess, would he feel comfortable?
From what happened to King Ping, she could tell.

Most parents love their children - except Liu Tingfeng.

"In this way, how about I assign Xiao Shishi to guard the imperial tomb?"

Emperor Qingping thought for a long time, and finally came up with a suitable solution.

If Xiao Shisi was kept in the capital and imprisoned, sooner or later news of Xiao Shisi's instructing someone to push Zhaoyang into the water would come to light.

At that time, the reputation of the royal family will be completely ruined.

Therefore, they were simply sent to the imperial mausoleum to stay there.

The imperial mausoleum of the Xiao family is in Longshan, a hundred miles east of the capital. It is very far away from the town, and it is very desolate and difficult.

But the fourteenth prince has not been crowned, nor has he been crowned king.After going to guard the imperial tomb, he will not be able to become a king in the future, and he will be trapped there for generations.

This is also a great punishment.

"But..." The Eldest Princess still wanted the Fourteenth Prince to pay for his life—this was conclusive evidence.

The Empress Dowager looked at her stubborn daughter and stroked her forehead with her hand because of the headache.

"This punishment is really too heavy. Ning'er is still staying here." Liu Xinning took the lead to start the conversation.

It is a fact that she is living well now, instead of waiting for Emperor Qingping to see her remembering this matter in the future, it is better to say it in advance.

Besides, even guarding the imperial mausoleum, you can still eat well and dress warmly. Is this considered punishment?

For the prince, it may be punishment; but for ordinary people, it is still a blessing.

However, given the disfavor and stupidity of the fourteenth prince, if he stayed in the capital, he might soon die in the struggle for succession.

"You are alive and well, it was Miss Lou who saved you." The eldest princess retorted with a feeling.

Emperor Qingping wanted to change the punishment according to Liu Xinning's words, but it passed in a flash.

When Liu Xinning heard what the eldest princess said, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Oh, I am really ashamed of Ning'er, and I should make up for it. Ning'er, think about it carefully, I will allow you one request."

Emperor Qingping thought of King Ping's calculations against Liu Xinning, and thought that the fourteenth prince almost killed Liu Xinning, and finally felt a little guilty.

And when Liu Xinning heard Emperor Qingping's claim, she knew that the warm atmosphere of family affection had passed.

"Okay. Thank you, Uncle Huang. Ning'er will think carefully about the request. The punishment of the fourteenth cousin is entirely up to Uncle Huang. Mother..."

While agreeing to Emperor Qingping, Liu Xinning pulled the eldest princess and begged.

Faced with Liu Xinning, the eldest princess naturally did everything she could, so she really kept her mouth shut.

Emperor Qingping saw that the matter of the fourteenth prince had been settled, so he hurriedly talked about the trial of the Liu family.

"Ning'er, wait a moment. I'm going to announce Liu Qingshi's entry into the palace. One is to ask him about the results of his inquiries with Liu Tingfeng. The other is to tell Liu Qingshi the reasons for this in detail. In particular, all the witnesses of the poisoning incident that you found before should be handed over to Liu Aiqing."

"Yes. It should be so." Liu Xinning quickly agreed.

Emperor Qingping ordered the eunuch to go to Dali Temple to announce Liu Qingshi's entry into the palace.

He personally sent the queen mother out again: "Don't worry, queen mother, Liu Qingshi is good at investigating cases. He will definitely investigate and find out."

"The matter has come to light. The rest is just the sophistry of the Liu family." The queen mother said indifferently.

After hearing this, Liu Xinning couldn't help but nodded.

That's right, don't say that things are already obvious, even if things are not obvious, the superiors only want the answers in their hearts.

She knew a long time ago that if she came to sue, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Qingping would definitely deal with Liu Tingfeng.

However, there is still a big difference between her taking the initiative to sue her biological father and passively testifying against her biological father.

She doesn't care about having a good reputation to find a marriage, but if she has a good manner, let the empress dowager and the emperor take pity on her, let the world sympathize with her, and then she will release her nature in the future, it will be a matter of course.

Also, the emperor granted her a request.It's true, it doesn't take much effort to get it.

It's just that the request must be raised at the right time.

Liu Qingshi entered the palace soon.

Naturally, he had nothing to gain.

After hearing his testimony, Liu Tingfeng began to complain again and again.

It's not talking about biological father and daughter, blood relationship, or saying that there is no reason, why is it so?
Of course he didn't know why Liu Tingfeng was like this, and Liu Tingfeng denied everything.

Therefore, Liu Qingshi was careful and never brought the witness to confront him.

When Emperor Qingping announced him, he was worried.

This can't be punished, how can I get a testimony?
Now in the palace, he listened to Princess Zhaoyang's story one by one, and heard that Princess Zhaoyang wanted to hand over the witnesses to him, so he went back to interrogate contentedly.

With the motive, the witness evidence, and the material evidence, let's see how Liu Tingfeng quibbles?

Hey, I really have to quibble.

Aunt Yang and Liu Yiyi are both girls, and they have been raised for so many years, how can they stand up to the torture of these people?

Therefore, they didn't carry out any punishments yet. They just lit up the torture equipment and displayed all the witnesses and physical evidence. After a little intimidation, both of them became afraid.

Aunt Yang and Liu Yiyi pushed Liu Xinning into the water, and the evidence was conclusive, and both of them pleaded guilty and were charged.

Aunt Yang used Duoming to murder the eldest princess. There are people from Nanjiang and Ajin who saved her as evidence, and the eldest princess' palace people also testified that she often went to pay her respects to the eldest princess during that time. , she also pleaded guilty and was arrested.

As for the people in Liu's mansion secretly taunting and insulting Liu Xinning, this is not a serious crime, and they all confessed without even being punished.

In this way, the case of Liu Tingfeng buying and murdering a woman is left.

The motive of Liu Tingfeng's murder was confirmed by Aunt Yang's evidence.

Facing the testimonies of the key witness - Li Fugui who contacted the killer, Liu Tingfeng yelled that he was wronged, refused to admit it, and even proposed several suspected murderers.

"Who did he talk about?" Liu Xinning asked Liu Qingshi curiously in the main hall of the princess's mansion.

"He first talked about Min and the princess."

"Minhe Princess? How could it involve her?" Liu Xinning was really surprised.

"Princess, please listen to the official instructions." Liu Qingshi came today to inquire and report, so naturally he started to talk about everything in detail.

At first, Liu Tingfeng calmly complained in every possible way.

When he heard that his motive for the murder had been confirmed, and then saw the witness Li Fugui, he began to defend himself and help provide the murderer.

Li Fugui is an ordinary guard in Liu's residence.

At the beginning of April, because of the Buddha's birthday and praying for Mrs. Wen Tai, Liu Tingfeng let go of some people's deeds.

Among them, there is Li Fugui, an ordinary guard who is not reused.

Then Li Fugui left Liu's mansion and had no other work for a while, so he went to An Wang's mansion as a rough envoy and guard.

He is usually just a peripheral guard, and occasionally acts as a coachman or something.

During this period of time, it was just a few carriage rides for Min and the princess.

But Princess Minhe and Liu Xinning were at odds, and there was another quarrel at the banquet in the palace a few years ago, and it was even more so under the watchful eyes of the assembly.

Based on this, Liu Tingfeng said that Li Fugui probably followed Minhe's orders to kill people.
