Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

Chapter 218: Identification on the spot

But... why? What's the reason? Why would my sister kill Guo Jun? Is it just because of the concubine? Also... there's no need to frame me like this, after all, we are siblings!

What on earth was going on? Mingzhe racked his brains but couldn't figure it out... But he knew one thing very well, he was now a murderer, with Lu Sijiao and Lu Yunche's testimony. If Lu Sijiao didn't tell the truth, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

How could Lu Sijiao confess? How could she testify against her sister for murder? Who would believe it? That would only make people laugh at her for not taking responsibility for the crime, and put the blame on her sister. But her sister was so weak, who would believe that she would kill someone? What's more, the person she killed was her husband!

When Prince Yan heard the news and rushed over, he saw Mingzhe standing in front of the house. He felt distressed, but he couldn't understand why Mingzhe suddenly appeared in Prince Yan's mansion, and why he clashed with Guo Jun and even killed someone...

Mingzhe saw the King of Yan as if he had found a savior, and was about to speak...but he saw the King of Yan walked in silently...

Mingzhe's psychological endurance is facing an unprecedented test...

“Si Jiao!” King Yan looked at his daughter crying on top of her son-in-law and called out softly…

“Father!” Seeing that it was Prince Yan who came, Lu Sijiao threw herself into his arms and continued to cry, “Brother…it was brother who killed Guo Jun by mistake in order to vent Sijiao’s anger! Guo Jun is no longer alive!”

"This...how is it possible..." King Yan couldn't believe it. How could Mingzhe do such a thing!

"Father, in your heart, is my brother really so perfect that he wouldn't kill someone on impulse?" Lu Yunche questioned King Yan!

"Yun Che! How could you also..."

"Father, my brother was drinking with me today. During the meal, I mentioned my sister to him. My brother was very angry. Maybe because he drank too much, he happened to run into my brother-in-law who was coming to pick up my sister. My brother was so angry that he started fighting with Guo Jun! A guard saw my brother and his brother-in-law quarreling outside the mansion!"

"Father, I saw my brother kill my husband with my own eyes! Could this be false?" Lu Sijiao took over Lu Yunche's words!

Now that it has come to this, there may be no motive, but what about the impulse? The two children are accusing Mingzhe of his crimes one by one. The three of them are siblings. There is no reason for Lu Sijiao and Lu Yunche to harm Mingzhe like this, not to mention that the guards saw that Mingzhe did have a conflict with Guo Jun!

The King of Yan was also confused... He didn't believe Mingzhe killed someone? But what Sijiao and Yunche said was so flawless! How could he believe Mingzhe killed someone? How could such a calm and restrained child commit a crime under the influence of alcohol? The King of Yan looked at his son-in-law who had died painfully... The doctor who arrived earlier than him was still checking the cause...

"Your Highness..." The imperial physician hesitated to speak.

"Say!"

"The dagger didn't injure the fatal spot, but..."

"But what?"

"It's the poison on the dagger!"

"What? Poison?" Prince Yan opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe the imperial physician's judgment!

"Yes, the dagger was poisoned!" the imperial physician reported truthfully.

"So it's not an accident but murder?" Lu Sijiao screamed.

"No wonder my brother accepted my invitation so readily today!" Lu Yunche said.

'Boom'!

Upon hearing that the dagger was poisoned, King Yan could no longer bear it and fainted on the ground... Poison? Murder? Regardless of whether it was done by Zilin, this matter... would not be so easy to let go! This was King Yan's last thought before he fainted!

"Father!" Lu Sijiao held up King Yan's head and shouted.

"Father!" Lu Yunche was also shaking his father.

"What happened to father?" Mingzhe rushed in after hearing his brother and sister's cries. Seeing King Yan lying on the ground, he immediately rushed over to check, but was pushed away by Lu Sijiao. "Go away, you murderer!"

"Sijiao!" Mingzhe looked at his sister in disbelief. He didn't understand why his sister became like this!

"Brother! Go out and let the imperial physician take a look at father!" Seeing Mingzhe still squatting beside King Yan in worry, Lu Yunche suddenly shouted, "Father has fainted because of you, what else do you want?"

Mingzhe stood up slowly, his eyes fixed on Lu Sijiao, while Lu Sijiao ignored him and assisted the imperial physician in giving the King of Yan first aid, looking like a filial daughter! It seemed as if the murder of her husband had never happened at all…

"Sijiao, how did you become like this? Has the once innocent Sijiao disappeared?" Mingzhe said in a low voice with dull eyes!

When Lu Sijiao heard Mingzhe's whisper, she slowly raised her head and glanced at Mingzhe... There was no emotion on her expression... It seemed that the man standing in front of her was a strange man and not her half-brother!

Mingzhe studied medicine with Prince Yan and had been with the retired emperor for many years, so he could basically be considered a traveling doctor. He really wanted to do something for his unconscious father, but Lu Yunche's resentful look prevented him from staying!

After watching Mingzhe walk out helplessly, Lu Yunche suddenly felt unprecedented relief... He had been holding his breath for too long. He hated Mingzhe and Mingzhe's mother. Since they came back, his mother lost her husband, and he and his sister lost their father. From then on, his father's love was only for Mingzhe! Only he knew how difficult and sad it was for him to see his father!

Mingzhe, however, lives with his father in Yanming Mansion and enjoys the happiness of family life. What's even more hateful is that the emperor likes him, the current emperor likes him too! Even the appointed crown princess Tutu likes him!

When Prince Yan woke up, he did not see Mingzhe, but asked someone to send Mingzhe back to Yanming Mansion!

After Mingzhe returned to Yanming Mansion, he had figured out the crime scene. The only thing he couldn't figure out was why Lu Sijiao did this? Why did she use his own hand?

On the second day, the news that Guo Jun was poisoned by Prince Zhe spread throughout Chang'an!

The Guo family immediately went to the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation...

"Royal brother! Your grandson killed my grandson. No one can cover up this matter. You must give your sister an explanation!" Guo Jun's grandmother, Princess Qing Huan, the retired emperor's sister, was shocked to hear that her beloved grandson was poisoned to death. She couldn't believe it at all until she went to Prince Yan's Mansion and saw her grandson's body. Only then did she face the facts!

“This matter has yet to be clarified…”

"Could it be that the emperor is protecting his brother?"

"Imperial sister, listen to me..."

"I want Prince Zhe to pay with his life!" Princess Qinghuan gritted her teeth.

"I still don't believe Mingzhe will kill Guo Jun. Give me some time..." Regardless of whether the emperor was protecting Mingzhe or out of his understanding of Mingzhe, he did not believe that this matter was true!

"The evidence is irrefutable. His own brothers and sisters have pointed out that he is the murderer on the spot. How else can we investigate?"

"I will see Mingzhe and ask him clearly, Qinghuan!" The emperor understood the pain of his sister losing her grandson, but he still didn't believe it was true...
