Yingfeng immediately sent people to arrest Xueling, and at the same time notified the people of Yingwei and Xichang to search for Xueling throughout the whole process.

Fengming Palace.

The empress sat in the imperial study and asked, "What happened? Is there a scene in the palace?"

Di Waner replied: "Master Long may have found the murderer."

The empress' eyes narrowed and she asked, "What's going on?"

Di Waner explained what happened in detail. The empress stood up and said, "Stop, I want to interrogate you personally."

Di Wan'er immediately drove away and went to the interrogation room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The maids and eunuchs inside the palace were the private property of the empress, and the yamen outside had no right to interfere. They were handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and an interrogation room was set up inside.

When the empress arrived, the interrogation had not yet begun.

Emperor Xingwan sat in the middle, Long Chen and Yingfeng sat on both sides, Li Tianze knelt down the hall, and the other maids knelt together.

When the empress came in, everyone immediately stood up to greet her.

"Mother."

"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."

The empress nodded slightly, and then sat down in the middle. Emperor Xingwan and Long Chen sat aside, while Yingfeng and Di Waner stood behind the empress.

"I've heard about the matter. Let's review it. I'll listen."

Emperor Xingwan looked at Long Chen and signaled that Long Chen would be the judge.

"Wei Chen accepts the decree."

Long Chen began to interrogate.

"Li Tianze, let me ask you, how did you meet Rushuang and Xiaoling? How did you get controlled by Xiaoling and enter the palace?"

Yingfeng stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Rushuang is Shuangshuang's name before she entered the palace, and Xiaoling is Xue Ling's name before she entered the palace."

The empress nodded slightly.

Li Tianze knelt on the ground and argued: "Your Majesty, princess, I didn't know that Xue Ling was the murderer. I was also deceived. I was not an accomplice."

Long Chen knew that Li Tianze would not tell the truth, so he said coldly: "Let me tell you, when you were outside the palace, you met Rushuang and Xiaoling. Xiaoling practiced evil skills and had great courage and strategy. You were

She threatened and controlled him and became a eunuch in the palace."

"In the palace, all your actions were controlled by her. When you were in the Ministry of Justice, you deliberately lived in the back office, but allowed her to come and go freely to bring things with her, giving her the opportunity to commit crimes."

"And Xiaoling's true identity is not Mo Mei's apprentice, but a spy from Nanliang. She is lurking in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. She got the order this time and wants to bring me down. Isn't that right?"

Long Chen was partly guessing these words, for example, Xiao Ling was a spy from Nanliang. The other half was reasoning, for example, Li Tianze was not Xiao Ling's opponent at all, he must be the one being controlled.

Li Tianze looked horrified and didn't know how to answer. He just kept shouting that he was wronged.

"Li Tianze, tell me the truth and I will give you a happy life! If you dare to quibble and deny me again, I will make you die a miserable death!"

Emperor Xingwan was scared and angry that such a dangerous person was actually beside him.

Li Tianze begged in horror: "Princess, these were all framed by Long Chengen. He is the murderer. I am innocent."

Emperor Xingwan was furious and cursed: "What happened to Xue Ling? How could she have evil skills? And she killed the guards?"

Li Tianze argued: "That was because she was forced by Long Chengen, she couldn't help it!"

Emperor Xingwan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and cursed: "If you don't shed tears when you see the coffin, you will be tortured!"

The interrogator next to her looked at what the empress meant.

The empress said calmly: "Xingwan, don't be impatient, let Long Chengen come and judge."

Long Chen looked at Li Tianze and said coldly: "Xiao Ling has run away. If you want to live, tell the truth. If you want to die, I won't stop you."

"I don't even need to kill you, I just need to let you out and you will die miserably."

Li Tianze was horrified. He knew that Xiao Ling was ruthless and if he fell into Xiao Ling's hands, his life would be worse than death.

"Have you thought about it?"

Long Chen asked coldly.
