When the guards saw that it was the third prince, they naturally did not dare to be disrespectful. However, the emperor's order was there, so they still had to be ordered to search. They could only hold their fists and apologize, "The third prince, offend!"

When Qi Yanshuo saw that they were going to check their shoes, he clenched his hands guiltily. Perhaps he didn't want to be caught. He took a deep breath and simply admitted it himself, "No need to check it. This prince has indeed been to the forest, but I did not go to meet these assassins, but to hunt! On the birthday of the head of the Dongfang family, is it still stipulated that hunting is not allowed to go to the forest?"

When Su Moliang heard that the third prince finally admitted to being in the forest, he curled his lips, a hint of cunning flashed through his eyes, and then nodded with a smile, "Yes, naturally there is no such regulation. It's just that the folk girl would like to ask the third prince, which forest did he go to?"

"I am going to Nan'an Forest!" Qi Yanshuo was nervous, but he still pretended to be calm.

In fact, he and the Dead Soldier met at the Huolin Forest, because Huolin Forest is the closest of the three major forests, but when he faced Su Moliang's sharp gaze, he felt guilty and was afraid of doubting him. In order to cover up the truth, he lied without hesitation.

Su Mo nodded in a cold understanding, "It turns out to be Nan'an Forest! Unfortunately, I have never been to this forest and I can't tell the soil there. Therefore, the young lady still recommends that an experienced gardener come and take a look at the soil on the third prince's shoes. The gardener is usually committed to cultivating flowers and plants vegetation, and should be very knowledgeable about the soil, so it should be able to identify which forest the soil on the third prince's shoes comes from!"

When Qi Yanshuo heard this, his heart was shocked. His handsome face, which pretended to be calm, suddenly collapsed. Cold sweat oozed out from his forehead. He felt cold all over his body and his hands and feet were numb.

He didn't expect that Su Mo would hold him in a hurry. Not only did he have to check his shoes, but he also had to find a gardener to check it out. This was simply forcing him to the dead end.

When the prince heard this suggestion, he was naturally happy to see it. He nodded in agreement, "Well, this idea is good. Father, just as she said, find an experienced gardener. After all, this is related to the innocence of the Third Emperor's brother, but it must be investigated clearly. Otherwise, if the Third Prince inexplicably bears the charge of rebellion and regicide, wouldn't it be too unfair!"

Hearing this, several forces present agreed and all supported finding an authoritative and professional gardener to check.

When Su Moliang heard the prince's words, he felt a little funny and had to admit that the prince was also a wonderful person.

What he said was better than what he sang. For the sake of the innocence of the Third Emperor, he had to investigate clearly. He clearly wanted to put the Third Emperor to death!

He said this, those who didn't know thought that the relationship between the two brothers was so good.

This prince is so black-hearted!

What a smart person the emperor is. When they saw them finding the third prince’s head, they naturally had a guess in their hearts. It was just that the third prince was his son. If it was really found out that he did it, it would be a death sentence.

But judging from his performance in front of him today, he knew that Qi Yanshuo was not really trying to assassinate him, his purpose should be to weaken the prince's forces.

Qi Yanshuo has always been his favorite son, and the emperor still felt a little reluctant to think about killing him.

However, so many people present were yelling to invite a gardener to check the soil of Qi Yanshuo's shoes, but he couldn't refuse. After all, so many people died and they were all descendants of the family in the imperial capital. He could not have covered Qi Yanshuo in front of so many people.

So, he had to order, "Eunuch Fang, go and invite the experienced gardener in the palace."

After receiving the order, Eunuch Fang nodded repeatedly, quickly stepped out of the Eastern Palace, and headed straight for the palace.

Eunuch Fang was also quick to move. In less than half an hour, he returned. There was an old man over 50 years old around him.

"Your Majesty, the servant brought the oldest gardener in the palace." As he said that, Eunuch Fang led the old man to the emperor and kowtowed and bowed.

"Okay, don't be too polite at this time. Hurry up and see which forest the soil on the third prince's shoes came from!" The emperor was dizzy by the incident tonight and waved his hand weakly.

Before coming, Eunuch Fang told the gardener about the general situation. Now that he heard the emperor's order, the gardener immediately stepped forward, walked to Qi Yanshuo, and bowed, "Third Prince, please raise your foot and let the old slave take a look."

Facing so many pairs of eyes, Qi Yanshuo had no choice but to refuse even if he was ten million reluctant.

If he refuses to check, wouldn’t he even be guilty of his crime?

So, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lift his feet up.

Seeing this, the gardener immediately reached out and scraped off the soil on the soles of the shoe, then looked carefully, and finally reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this soil comes from the Huolin Forest!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and their shocked eyes shot towards Qi Yanshuo.

He just said that he had gone to Nan'an Forest. Why did the soil on the shoes come from Huolin Forest again? Is the third prince lying?

Upon hearing this, Su Moliang handed the assassin's shoes to the gardener again, "Senior, look at where the soil on these shoes comes from?"

The old man took the shoes, rubbed them with his hands, and replied with affirmative answer, "This is also the soil from the Huolin Forest!"

"Are you sure?" Su Moliang asked back.

"Well, Lao Nu is sure, because the Huolin Forest has a special terrain and the soil is easy to identify. Lao Nu has planted many trees with this before, and can be recognized at a glance!" After all, the gardener is still old and has been studying planting for decades. Naturally, these soils are not worth mentioning in front of him.

After hearing such a sure answer, Su Moliang was satisfied, while the third prince was frightened. His whole face was as pale as paper and he fell into an ice cellar.

Su Moliang looked embarrassed when he looked at his face, and a faint smile couldn't help but raise a corner of his mouth, and asked back, "Third Prince, what else do you have to say?"

Su Moliang's voice was not loud, but at this moment it fell into Qi Yanshuo's heart like a heavy hammer, which made him numb all over.

"Uh, I remember it wrongly. It was Huolin Forest. I went to Huolin Forest!" Qi Yanshuo hurriedly denied it in the face of the questioning gazes around him.

Seeing that he was about to die, Su Moliang refused to admit it, and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "Third Prince, even if you forget which forest you went to, you just said that you went to the forest for hunting. Then, why hunting with your strength? Everyone knows that the Huolin Forest is the smallest forest among the three forests of the imperial capital. The spirit beasts inside are not only rare, but also very low-level. Only freshmen who have just entered the college will go to that forest to experience. Anyone with a little background or status will look down on the spirit beast in the forest, let alone a strong person with a certain identity?"
