Chapter 356 Analysis
Zhu Yan's eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at Luo Xiaoran, who was smiling brightly after speaking so much nonsense.
Apart from the three Lin family daughters, the Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother and the Queen, she had never seen any other woman dare to speak to the princess like this.
Even Concubine Bai only dared to act recklessly in front of the princess after she became pregnant. The princess tolerated her behavior because she was carrying the emperor's only child.
Of course, in the princess's eyes, the royal heir in Concubine Bai's belly was not as important as the empress dowager's orders, so the princess designed something for Concubine Bai to get into trouble, but she didn't expect it to be ruined by Luo Xiaoran by accident.
In addition, Luo Xiaoran raised the posthumous child of the former crown prince and also occupied the position of Princess Yan. The princess had long wanted to get rid of Luo Xiaoran as soon as possible.
Perhaps Luo Xiaoran didn't understand the princess. No one the princess wanted to kill could survive, so she dared to challenge the princess head-on so recklessly.
Wei An was also shocked at first. After all, Luo Xiaoran had been very flexible in her attitude towards everyone from the very beginning.
She had never seen Luo Xiaoran express her hostility so bluntly, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart what exactly Princess Qingyi had done to make her good-tempered princess so confrontational?
After the shock, Wei An felt unprecedentedly refreshed!
She really hated Princess Qingyi, who looked dignified but was actually domineering and vicious. Seeing her being ridiculed by the princess she loved, she could hardly suppress the smile on her face.
But what Wei An didn't expect was that Luo Xiaoran had not stopped being sarcastic towards Chen Lingyi.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan and I were in love with each other, but somehow I offended the eldest princess, who insisted on breaking up our marriage and even made such a big fuss.
Everyone in the capital knows that the princess is on good terms with Commander Lin... How could the princess have the heart to do such a cruel thing?"
Luo Xiaoran's words were sincere, but full of sarcasm between the lines, which successfully made Chen Lingyi so angry that she trembled all over.
She clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, using all her strength to control the anger that was about to erupt.
She wants to kill Luo Xiaoran! She will definitely kill Luo Xiaoran!
……
Chen Lingyi didn't gain any advantage in the Heavenly Prison in the end. She came with the intention of watching the fun, and left in anger in the end.
As soon as Chen Lingyi left, Wei An couldn't wait to ask Luo Xiaoran how she knew that Chen Lingyi was the murderer of Lin Yuanfang.
In fact, from the moment Luo Xiaoran saw Lin Yuanfang's body, she felt that the wound on Lin Yuanfang's neck looked very familiar, especially like... the wound on An Luhai's neck!
Chen Ji had told her that An Luhai was silenced by Chen Lingyi's maid Zhu Yan, and that Lin Yuanfang, whose wounds were similar to his, was most likely also killed by Zhu Yan at the order of Chen Lingyi.
Of course, all of this is Luo Xiaoran's own subjective conjecture and there is no substantial evidence.
But Chen Lingyi had a motive to frame herself, and she always wanted to kill herself.
At the Qianqiu Festival palace banquet, Luo Xiaoran noticed that Chen Lingyi and Lin Yuanfang left the table one after another.
Although she didn't want to speculate that the two of them had a secret affair on such an important day, if they were really together that night, it would indeed be an opportunity for Chen Lingyi to knock Lin Yuanfang unconscious.
In addition, Chen Lingyi grew up in the palace and is familiar with every tree and blade of grass here, as well as all kinds of people here.
Find a secluded place to knock Lin Yuanfang unconscious, get through the guards to get Lin Yuanfang to Fukang Palace, frame Xiao Gaozi for the prison to threaten Xiao Xingzi, make Wei An's blood-stained clothes, make her own palace clothes look like there are traces of drugs, and frame Concubine Tang as a shield in advance...
Chen Lingyi is capable of accomplishing all of these.
Especially the drug on her palace dress. Chen Lingyi knew that she had a keen sense of smell, so she did not tamper with the dress in advance, and her bedroom was usually not allowed to be entered.
Therefore, the time when she is most likely to make a move is at the palace banquet.
The drug was in the glass of wine. Chen Lingyi knew that he was wary of her and would not drink the wine she offered to her, so she most likely secretly poured the wine into her sleeves.
In this way, the drug was hidden in the aroma of wine and successfully remained in the sleeves of the palace dress, becoming a physical evidence of Chen Lingyi's slander against herself.
I just suddenly pointed out that Chen Lingyi was the murderer just to see the reaction of the master and servant.
Chen Lingyi's expression was relatively calm, but Zhu Yanqi beside her had a look of panic on her face.
At this point, he could be sure that the person who killed Lin Yuanfang was Chen Lingyi!
As long as we are sure that Chen Lingyi is the murderer behind the scenes, we will be able to find evidence by investigating in this direction!
After listening to Luo Xiaoran's analysis, Wei An suddenly realized something and felt a little lost.
The princess is so powerful and smart, is there still any use for a guard like me?
"Princess, since you already suspected that the murderer was Princess Qingyi, why did you send a message to Commander Huo, asking him to focus on investigating Concubine Tang?
Did you also tell him what we found out about the Tang family?" Wei An had another question.
Luo Xiaoran sighed.
"Lin Yuanfang is dead, we have to find the murderer so that we can give an explanation to the Lin family!
I don't want to be a sucker because I have our Royal Highness the Prince of Yan as my backer.
Chen Lingyi is the emperor's biological sister, and he will not watch Chen Lingyi pay for Lin Yuanfang's life.
Fortunately, Chen Lingyi had already found a scapegoat, so Concubine Tang had to take the blame! "
