As soon as Lin Wancheng said this, Xiao Jingyan suddenly fell silent.

Princess Mingyang's bedroom is already spacious, and the atmosphere is now dull and you can hear it.

Lin Wancheng stood there, looked at Xiao Jingyan, and swallowed nervously, "I... just said it casually, there is no evidence."

She knew that such words naturally violated the royal taboo.

If there is someone else on the other side, she will never dare to say this. After all, if it is spread, it will be a death sentence for losing one's head.

Although the emperor was nice to her, he seemed warm. In fact, he was a monarch after all, and he was decisive in his killing and could not tolerate sand in his eyes.

"I'm just guessing." Lin Wancheng's heart was pounding.

She only dared to say such things in front of Xiao Jingyan, but after saying that, she was a little nervous.

What if Xiao Jingyan misunderstood her?

"You sit first." Xiao Jingyan grabbed her arm and pressed her back on the chair.

Seeing her nervousness, he poured her a glass of water and signaled her to suppress her fear.

Seeing her obediently drinking two sips of water, Xiao Jingyan curled her lips, as if comforting and alert:

"You must not talk to others like this. No one can do it, do you know?"

This girl usually looks smart, but sometimes she is a little stupid when she gets into the air.

"I know." Lin Wancheng nodded obediently and was very obedient.

"Isn't this not the case, let's assume it with you. After all, apart from this possibility, I can't think of any other reason for the time being."

Her adoptive father is not a fool. She finally settled in the position of the top leader of the East Factory. Now she is willing to die for a fifth prince who is unlikely to become a new emperor. This is not her adoptive father's style.

So, she could only guess whether there was some kind of unbroken connection between the two, such as... relatives.

Of course, her adoptive father could not have anything to do with the royal family. So he could only be the mother of the fifth prince.

But Xiao Jingyan also said that the fifth prince and mother no longer have any living relatives.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility...

Although it is ridiculous, it is reasonable to think about it carefully.

She analyzed it with great confidence. Xiao Jingyan did not refute or interrupt the whole process. After listening to her patiently, he nodded thoughtfully:

"I've written it down."

"Don't interfere in this matter, especially Wei Xiang's side. Don't alert the enemy. I'll send someone to investigate."

Of course, we can't start with Wei Xiang, but we can only start with the deceased mother of the fifth prince.

Looking for the slave maid who has been sent out of the palace, maybe...there is hope.

"By the way, is the fifth prince's incident this time?" Lin Wancheng asked curiously.

"Well. Otherwise, I won't have time to come to find you." He has been busy with this case at Dali Temple these days, and finally made some progress.

"We have been paying attention to the two maids whom we were with when the daughter of the Minister of Revenue traveled that day. Sure enough, we squatted one of them and went to the pawnshop secretly."

"We brought the person back to Dali Temple that day. After interrogation, the maid said she didn't know who the other party was. The other party gave her a lot of treasures and changed routes with her and the inn information for resting."

"But she didn't know who killed her lady. She didn't expect that the other party was here to kill her lady."

Lin Wancheng was a little disappointed after hearing this: "Ah, wouldn't that be the clue be broken again?"

But Xiao Jingyan shook his head gently and said, "No."

"Hmm?" Lin Wancheng was confused.

"The most jewelry that man gave her is the baggage. Most of them are extremely expensive. I asked someone to take it to your antique shop and asked the shopkeeper to take a look. There was a pair of bracelets, which were of a big origin."

Lin Wancheng raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue talking.

"This pair of bracelets is not a rare and old item, and the workmanship is relatively new. But the shopkeeper could tell at a glance that it was the product of a famous jewelry shop in Huaicheng."

"If you customize jewelry at his house, you must be recommended by his old customers to queue up. It is not enough to have money. Moreover, if they sell each jewelry, the customer information will be left behind."

Hearing this, Lin Wancheng excitedly put down the teacup, "In other words, my antique shop is the key to solving the case this time!"

"Yes." Xiao Jingyan nodded and said with a smile: "When the matter is over, I will mention it to my father at that time. How about giving you a plaque?"

"Cultivation and success." Lin Wancheng laughed. The plaque that was given by the imperial gift was much more valuable than other rewards.

This is a signboard for attracting customers!

From now on, her shop can walk sideways on Chang'an Street.

"So there is a whereabouts now?"

"Huaicheng is a bit far away from here, so I have already asked someone to go and invite him."

Lin Wancheng slowly let out a breath and his hanging heart slowly let go.

Looking at her relieved look, Xiao Jingyan reached out and gently rubbed her chin with her long finger. Lin Wancheng was forced to look at him, blinking and making some puzzled: "What are you doing?"

"You seem to be very worried about Xiao Jing'an."

Not a question, but a statement of affirmation.

Lin Wancheng: “…”

"Is there any?" Why didn't she notice it?

"Yes. It's obvious." Xiao Jingyan blocked her retreat with just one sentence and did not give her a way out.

Obviously, I want to break the casserole and ask for the result.

"Uh." Lin Wancheng touched his nose awkwardly, and had to tell the truth: "I'm just sympathizing."

"It's not a worry."

"Mainly, this matter has nothing to do with you and him. You are all victims affected by this matter. So as the truth is revealed, I think it is a good thing."

"And, besides being competitors, you and him have no other hatred, and they are brothers and sisters. At this time, if someone wants to harm you two, you will naturally stand on the same front."

"He was indeed wronged this time. After all, he is also a prince. Calculate the time, it has been more than eight or nine days, right? The emperor is also cruel."

Xiao Jingyan didn't know whether to believe her or not, but she still explained it to her: "This matter is too strange. The Minister of Revenue cried in the court. He was just a daughter and always regarded it as a treasure."

"The father had no choice but to give him a reassurance first. Although he was detained in Dali Temple, he was still very particular about food and drink. If he was locked up in other places, it was not safe at this time, just like locking you in Qingya Pavilion."

"Now, this is the safest way."

It seems to be imprisonment, but in fact it is an indestructible protective line.

No one can rush in.

Lin Wancheng nodded in a vague way. "Miss Lin is also pitiful."

Miss Lin is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

"It's obviously all the qualifying princesses, but in the end... tsk tsk tsk."

"Sure enough, entering the palace is not a good thing."
