Chapter 107

Shaoshang returned to the Changqiu Palace with a sense of grief that would take one's life away. As expected, the prince had been waiting by the queen's side. Seeing the mother and son looking over with expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it any longer.  Still Ling Budo kept his composure, and indifferently explained the Liang Mansion murder case briefly.  His tone was flat, as if he was talking about the next-door raccoon cat giving birth to two cubs.

After hearing this, the queen was a little confused: "...No one has entered or left the bookstore except for Lord Ling, and Lord Ling has denied killing her husband. Then who killed Liang Shang?"

The Crown Prince was both shocked and bewildered, his expression changed several times, and finally said: "Zisheng, that means, Liang Shangying was killed earlier than Shen Shi?"

Ling Budo gave him a deep look, but did not answer.

The prince turned and asked again, "Shao Shang, tell me."

Shao Shang looked at his fiancé very strangely, and quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the concubine asked everyone, that the furnace in the bookstore is not burning hot, whether it was the person who delivered the meal at noon who killed Liang Shang, since the body is  Leng Cheng is like that, it is absolutely impossible for Liang Shangjiu to be killed by Shen Shi... Well, according to what you said, Liang Shang has been dead for at least an hour."

The prince closed his eyes, as if he had made a big decision.  He solemnly cupped his hands to the queen: "Mother, my son has an idea, and I want to tell the mother to know."

"His Royal Highness, this minister does not approve." Ling Budo said suddenly.

Shao Shang looked at him in surprise, the prince didn't say anything.

The queen looked at Ling Budo, then looked at the prince: "You talk first."

The prince said, "My son wants to avenge Lord Ling..."

Shao Shang was surprised.  Ling Budo sent a calm voice: "I still disapprove of it."

The prince ignored them and continued: "Empress mother, Liang Shang could never have been killed by Lord Ling, because, because..." He had an embarrassed look on his face, "Because yesterday the son and Lord Ling were in Zigui outside the city.  See you elsewhere!"

The queen was shocked.  Shao Shang went to see Ling Budo and said in surprise, "Did you know about this long ago?"

"Since Mrs. Qu came to the capital, I have been guarding the capital day and night, worrying that Your Highness will see Mrs. Qu." Ling Budo's tone was flat, "I heard that His Highness had asked someone to prepare a horse carriage for the mountain road, so I knew that His Highness would do it.  Even worse, so I did some tricks on the carriage, hoping that the axle would break halfway, so that His Highness could fall..."

Shaoshang's face was full of black lines: "Can you come up with such a bad idea?"

"Unfortunately, His Highness was so anxious that he decided to ride on a horse before leaving the house, so the minister arranged for some people to pretend to be robbers on the way, so as to scare His Highness back to the city..."

"It turns out that those people were arranged by you, Zi Sheng!" The prince was incredulous.

"Who knows that luck is bad, and I will encounter General Han's troops who are patrolling the city. If those subordinates of the minister were not running fast, they would have been captured alive by General Han, and the minister would have to go to bail them out."
