"There is someone who knows what exactly happened that night." She tilted her head, the dimples on her cheeks looming, her eyes like glass, and the faint smile, making people want to go up and touch the corners of her mouth.
Lu Chen's eyes tightened and he slowly narrowed his eyes at her: "Who is it?"
"Zhai Mu." She said the other person's name without any hesitation or guilt.
Lu Chen frowned. Zhai Mu? He had never heard of that name.
"Your Highness also saw it last night. He entered the marshal's room after me." She spoke clearly, as if she was analyzing the truth bit by bit for Lu Chen. "The one who came in with him was a doctor." After saying that, she cast her eyes thoughtfully on the old man in white robe behind Lu Chen, and gave him a faint smile.
As a royal doctor and a close confidant of the emperor, she should have no reaction to anyone's scrutiny. But at this moment, the old man's eyes accidentally crossed hers, and she actually felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't explain why, but it turned out to be... He was the first to look away.
Lu Chen, who was standing in front of him, didn't see this change at all. He was now recalling what happened in the hotel last night.
Indeed, a young man walked past him without looking back. That man... has a tall and straight body and a majestic military appearance. You can tell he is a soldier just by looking at his temperament.
"Why would he know what happened that night?" Lu Chen still didn't fully follow her thoughts. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the girl in front of him was anything but simple.
Too bold and too careless, it seems that there is no psychological pressure at all from being "invited" to him as a "guest".
"Because when I woke up that night, he was the first living person I saw." She pursed her lips and blew her bangs. After all, the other "living people" had been chopped up alive by her, and Zhai Mu was indeed half of the "witnesses" who survived that night. I am afraid that when he rescued her back to the cellar, he had doubted whether she was related to Lu Ming's death. After all, the scimitar hidden on her body was too special, and the location where she appeared was too sensitive.
Leng Yiyao licked the corners of her lips gently and raised her eyes slightly. Strength has always spoken in the military region. Now that Zhai Mu has climbed up to Hemo, he naturally respects him.
She is just a 28-year-old girl, why should she carry herself to death? Isn't it good to let the disaster flow to the east
Besides, in Lu Chen's subconscious, or deepest in his heart, what he hoped for most was that Lu Ming's death was controlled by Hemo. In this way, he could not only get rid of the suspicion of murdering his own brother, but also smear the military community on his back. He could kill two birds with one stone. He hoped that what she told was the truth.
"Your Highness, everyone is here." The captain of the guard waited at the door for two minutes, but did not wait for Lu Chen and hurried towards the study. When he saw Leng Yiyao standing in front of Lu Chen, he was full of surprise, but he just reminded Lu Chen of the time dutifully.
Sure enough, Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at his watch again. He was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand directly: "Take her into the car too."
Regardless of whether she was telling the truth or a lie, he would have time to check it out when he arrived in the capital. Right now, his most urgent concern was his father.
If he is really critically ill, he will not have time to clear himself of suspicion, and he will only fall into a passive situation within the royal family.
Without further ado, the group hurried to the gate, where five bulletproof heavy-duty vehicles were already waiting at the gate.
The captain of the guard opened the car door and Lu Chen sat in the back seat. The white-robed imperial doctor who had been silent all this time suddenly turned around and glanced at Leng Yiyao...
