Chapter 74

[It seems that Xu Xishuang is the least suspicious now.]

[Besides, Xu Xishuang's status as a concubine meant that he couldn't do much, so his suspicion should have been ruled out.]

[No, no, no, I think it’s too early to say anything. The second round of searching for evidence hasn’t even started yet.]

After the first round of mutual identification, everyone had a suspect in their mind. Fei Yuan resisted the urge to spoil the plot and asked the guests to start the second round of evidence collection.

In the second round of searching for evidence, everyone will check each room together, trying to find all the physical evidence without missing any clues.

This time, the seven guests went to Chi Siyuan's room first, because his room was closest to the study. After searching through some small objects in the room, everyone learned that the prince might be more scheming than the left prime minister. He has been hiding his talents and pretending that he does not love the throne and just wants to be an idle king. In fact, he has found many staff to give him advice and got the support of many ministers in the court, just waiting for himself to take the throne and become the emperor.

Xu Xishuang opened the wardrobe and turned to ask Chi Siyuan: "My Lord, where is the dark green suit you wore to the banquet last night?"

Chi Siyuan remained silent.

Xu Xishuang and Yan Yushan looked at each other. He bent down and touched inside the closet. He found that there seemed to be a space under the closet, and the sound when knocking was wrong.

So Yan Yushan and Xiang Yao worked together to remove the wooden board and found the clothes hidden inside. They were the clothes that Chi Siyuan wore to the banquet last night. There were bloodstains on the clothes, especially near the cuffs, which were almost all stained red with blood.

[Good guy, he's really good at hiding. If Xu Xishuang hadn't discovered that there were no clothes that Chi Siyuan wore yesterday in the closet, would we have missed this clue?]

[I began to doubt Chi Siyuan. He had always said that he did not want to kill the emperor. He was probably lying, and only the murderer could lie.]

Under everyone's gaze, Chi Siyuan pursed his lips and began to explain: "Okay, I admit that last night in the study, when my brother and I were discussing something, something unpleasant happened."

"I already knew about the late emperor's will and knew that I should inherit the throne. I do have resentment in my heart, but I never wanted my brother to die. I just wanted him to abdicate!" Chi Siyuan clenched the folding fan in his hand. "I originally wanted to have a good talk with him, but after I told him these things, he wanted me to die!"

Yan Yao couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "So you killed him?"

"I didn't!" Chi Siyuan defended himself in a panic, "He wanted to kill me, and I didn't want to die, so I struggled with him for a few times. Who knew that he didn't stand firmly, and the back of his head hit the corner of the table, and then he fainted on the ground!"

Chi Siyuan covered his head with his hands, his voice trembling: "I saw a lot of blood coming out of the back of his head... I was so scared, I thought someone would find him and send him to the Imperial Hospital, so I ran away from the study and didn't dare to tell the left prime minister. I stayed in the room all night and didn't fall asleep all night."

Chi Siyuan: "Then this morning, I got the news that my brother had passed away... I really didn't push him on purpose. I never thought of killing him. I didn't use a knife or poison. I just pushed him by mistake."
