My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 266 Who burned the portrait?

A man and a woman...

Xue Wanxian couldn't help but wonder, could it be that after Liu Yiyi came to the capital, she got to know Prince Yong again?

Could it be that Liu Yiyi seduced Prince Yong when he wasn't paying attention?

Xue Wanxian's mind was in a mess, he didn't know how to think about this matter?

Apart from love between men and women, he really couldn't find any reason why Prince Yong would help Liu Yiyi.

Thinking of this possibility, Xue Wanxian closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Xue Qing, arrange for someone to continue monitoring Liu Yiyi and see who else she has come into contact with."

For some reason, Xue Wanxian suddenly remembered that Liu Yiyi had drugged Zhang before.

So this time, does the old lady’s poisoning have something to do with her?

Otherwise, since the old lady has become like this, who would need to poison her?

At the beginning, it was because he knew that Liu Yiyi had harmed the old lady and that all those things that hurt the old lady were done by Liu Yiyi that he ordered Liu Yiyi to be beaten with a board and also ordered his subordinates not to let anyone help her.

If anyone really wants to harm the old lady, it can only be Liu Yiyi.

However, all these are just guesses, he needs to verify whether all these are true.

Xue Wanxian returned to his study and suddenly discovered that the portrait he had hung on the wall was missing.

He was suddenly panicked and looked around the room, and soon noticed the piece of drawing paper that had not been burned yet in the charcoal brazier.

He quickly ran to the brazier. The portrait had been burned to the point where nothing was left. Even the person on it was almost gone. Only one side corner remained.

Xue Wanxian was already sad because of Zhang's departure, and just now he learned about the affair between Liu Yiyi and Prince Yong. Now he saw the portrait he had painted being thrown into the brazier.

It has happened several times. The last few times, someone took the portrait away when he was away. This time it was even more excessive. They actually threw the painting directly into the brazier.

He immediately lost control of his temper and yelled, "Who? Who did it? Who the hell did it?!!!"

The servants outside heard the angry shouting from inside and hurriedly pushed open the door, only to see Xue Wanxian kneeling in front of the brazier with a face full of sadness and anger.

"My lord, what happened? Who did it?" the servant asked cautiously.

"Who burned the portrait of me hanging on the wall? Who was it? Was it you? Did you do it?" When Xue Wanxian saw the person coming, he grabbed his collar and spoke ferociously.

"My Lord, no, it's not me. I have been with you all day, and I don't know who burned the portrait."

The servant was frightened by Xue Wanxian's appearance and hurried to explain.

"Go check quickly to see who came to my study when I was away."

Xue Wanxian also knew that he had wronged the servant in front of him. He loosened the servant's collar, cursed, and then sat on the ground dejectedly.

The servant wanted to go forward and help Xue Wanxian up, but when he saw his fierce eyes, he was too scared to go forward.

Thinking of Xue Wanxian's instructions just now, he turned around and left.

"What? You said that the woman Prince Yong had with in the villa was Liu Yiyi?" Prince Cheng was shocked. He looked at the person who was investigating in front of him in disbelief.

"In reply to Your Majesty, that person is Liu Yiyi, absolutely true." The guard nodded affirmatively.

"How is this possible? Liu Yiyi was far away at the border, and was brought back to the capital by Xue Wanxian, and Prince Yong has never been to the border. How did they know each other?"

"I remember that Liu Yiyi was beaten by Xue Wanxian because she framed the old lady Zhang of Lin'an Marquis's Mansion."

Last time at the Marquis of Lin'an's Mansion, Prince Cheng was tricked by Prince Yong and Xue Wanxian into sleeping with Zhang Qingsha. It was also at that time that Liu Yiyi was pointed out by the manager of the shop under the name of the Marquis' Mansion that she had killed the manager's child.

Because of that incident, King Cheng had a deep impression of Liu Yiyi.

“I don’t know about this, but I have already investigated it in detail. In the past six months since Liu Yiyi came to the capital from the border, she has not had much contact with outsiders except for the people in the Lin’an Marquis’ Mansion.

I have had no contact with Prince Yong at all. At most, Prince Yong and Liu Yiyi met at the banquet for the concubine's coming-of-age ceremony."

Before the guards came, they had already checked all the questions they thought King Cheng would ask.

Fortunately, Liu Yiyi's activity range is relatively small, so he didn't spend much time and energy.

"That is to say, if the two really knew each other, it could only have happened at the border?" King Cheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"Your Highness, based on the current investigation, this is the only possibility." The guard nodded.

"No, no, this is impossible." King Cheng shook his head slightly, "There must be something wrong here."

"Well, go check again to see what the relationship between Prince Yong and Liu Yiyi is. If they are not a man and a woman, then there is a big problem."

King Cheng didn't know what he was thinking of. He sat up straight in an instant, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Also, send someone to the border immediately to investigate Liu Yiyi's identity for me. Remember, you must investigate it thoroughly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

King Cheng thought about it and sent someone to call Zhang Qingsha over.

Zhang Qingsha received the news and came here quickly.

King Cheng did not waste any time and directly asked Zhang Qingsha about Liu Yiyi.

However, Zhang Qingsha didn't know much about Liu Yiyi's affairs. King Cheng asked her for a long time but didn't get any valuable information.

What Zhang Qingsha knew was less than what his guards had investigated, so he waved his hand and told Zhang Qingsha to go down.

Inside the general's mansion, An Qingqian was standing in the yard, looking up at the night sky.

There is no moon tonight, and the sky is filled with tiny starlight. The weather has gradually warmed up recently. Blown by the cold wind outside, An Qingqian's messy mood has calmed down a little.

Yingyi put a coat on An Qingqian, but did not say anything to disturb her. She just stood behind her silently.

"Yingyi, isn't it your night duty today? Why haven't you gone to rest yet?" An Qingqian spoke softly without turning back.

"Miss, Bo Yun said she had something to do today, so she switched places with this slave."

"Well, that's it."

An Qingqian nodded, then turned to look at Yingyi, "Yingyi, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

"Miss." Yingyi glanced at An Qingqian, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"What's wrong? Just tell me what's going on. There's no need to be so polite between us."

This afternoon, An Qingqian discovered that Yingyi was a little strange today. She did everything right, but was unusually silent, and would glance at her from time to time.
