This tragic story is about Luo Yingbai, who entered the palace as a eunuch from childhood. Through a series of schemes, he poisoned the former emperor and supported the infant Summer Xianning to the throne, controlling power by manipulating the young emperor.
Later, the young emperor Summer Xianning grew up, powerless and seemingly useless but deeply cunning. He actively seduced Luo Yingbai and gradually used him to reclaim his country.
The final outcome was the two facing each other on the battlefield. However, when a cold arrow was shot toward Summer Xianning, Luo Yingbai died protecting him.
Luo Yingbai simply couldn’t imagine what kind of face and tongue Summer Xianning had to read these words without changing expression.
A thought gradually took shape in Xia Xianning’s mind.
“Xianning.” At this moment, Luo Yingbai beside him called out to him, touching his forehead and saying, “Do you think the person who killed Hu Weichao might be Zhu Linya?”
Xia Xianning asked, “What is your reasoning?”
Luo Yingbai pointed to the computer and said, “There happens to be some gossip news online about Third Uncle and Zhu Linya from back then.”
Look, Xianning, it says that after receiving the expensive watch from the third young master of the Xia family, Zhu Linya was ecstatic and never took it off.
However, Luo Yingbai was reminded and found a clue.
He picked up a carbon pen as if it were a dagger and thrust it towards Xia Xianning’s chest: “According to the two housekeepers at your home, Hu Weichao should have been stabbed to death like this, and there was a lot of blood at the time. So, in this scenario, blood would have splattered and inevitably gotten on the killer’s body. Assuming the killer is indeed Zhu Linya, she could change her clothes and dispose of the murder weapon after the crime, but she wouldn’t want to throw away this expensive watch nor keep it. So, she chose to pawn it.”
Xia Xianning nodded, acknowledging that this method of killing was not wise and would easily expose the perpetrator. Zhu Linya might have committed a crime of passion, which would explain why she forgot to remove the watch during the act.
