After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 58 Murong Yi Rescues Him

Murong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold glint flashing in his deep eyes. He stepped forward and gently shielded Lin Qianqian behind him, like an unbreakable barrier.

"I find this matter highly suspicious," Murong Yi said in a deep voice, yet with an undeniable air of authority. "Miss Lin the Second claims that Miss Lin the Eldest pushed you into the water, but I clearly saw that before you fell in, your hands seemed to be intentionally pulling at Miss Lin the Eldest. Why was that?"

Lin Yueyue's face turned pale instantly, but she still tried to remain calm and said, "Your Highness, don't be fooled by appearances. I just wanted to stop my sister from getting angry, but I never expected that she would take the opportunity to push me."

Murong Yi sneered: "Is that so? Then why did I see you constantly provoking Miss Lin, and although Miss Lin responded, she didn't do anything excessive? Furthermore, based on my understanding of Miss Lin, she has always been gentle and magnanimous, so why would she kill you without any reason?"

Aunt Liu couldn't help but interject, "Your Highness, you can't just take Qianqian's side based on your own assumptions. Yueyue almost lost her life; that's a fact that everyone saw."

Murong Yi's gaze swept over Aunt Liu like a knife: "I will find out the truth myself, and I will not make a hasty conclusion based on just a few words from someone. Miss Lin, you said that Miss Lin pushed you into the water, but I remember that the water here is not deep. With your height, even if you fell into the water, you should be able to stand up quickly. Why were you struggling and calling for help, as if you were in great danger?"

Lin Yueyue was speechless for a moment, and stammered, "I...I was panicked and scared at the time, so naturally I couldn't control myself."

Murong Yi turned around and respectfully said to the Prime Minister, "Prime Minister, I believe that the most urgent task is to carefully examine the scene and question the other servants present. This will surely lead to more clues, rather than hastily assigning blame. I will never allow the villains to have the opportunity to murder a loyal and virtuous person under my very nose and then smear their innocence."

Murong Yi's words made everyone fall into deep thought. The Prime Minister nodded slightly: "What Your Highness says is very true. This matter certainly needs to be handled with caution."

Lin Qianqian watched Murong Yi's retreating figure, her heart filled with gratitude and trust. She knew that as long as he was there, these conspiracies would ultimately fail.

Murong Yi stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his narrow eyes gleaming with a sharp, cold light. He slowly walked up to Lin Yueyue, his powerful aura sweeping over her like a surging wave.

"Miss Lin, I'll give you one more chance. Tell the truth, and don't try to deceive me again." Murong Yi's tone was calm, yet it seemed to conceal endless sharpness. Every word struck Lin Yueyue's heart heavily.

Lin Yueyue flinched, her eyes darting away, and forced a smile: "Your Highness, I... everything I said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood in it."

Murong Yi sneered, suddenly taking a step closer, instantly closing the distance between them. The oppressive aura emanating from him almost suffocated Lin Yueyue. "Is that so? Then let me ask you, you say you were pushed into the water without any warning, so why are there obvious signs of forward movement on the mud beneath your feet? It's clearly caused by your own effort. Also, your accessories weren't disheveled at all before you fell into the water. If you were really pushed forcefully, how could that be?"

Lin Yueyue's face was ashen, large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and her lips trembled slightly: "This...this is just a coincidence. Your Highness cannot wrong me based on this alone."

Murong Yi's gaze was like a knife, piercing straight into her eyes: "Coincidence? Then let me ask you again, there were no signs of the surrounding flower bushes being trampled when the incident occurred. If you were pushed, how could you have avoided the flower bushes in your panic? Are you trying to tell me that you can precisely control your landing point in the water?"

Lin Yueyue's legs began to weaken, and she could barely stand. Her voice was trembling with sobs as she said, "Your Highness, I was terrified at the time, and my mind went completely blank. How could I remember any of this?"

Murong Yi pressed on relentlessly, showing no mercy: "Hmph! You don't remember? Then why was your voice full of energy when you called for help, and why could you clearly say that your sister pushed you? So logical and clear, how could you be someone who was about to drown? Miss Lin, you thought you could fool everyone with this carefully planned play, but little did you know that it was full of loopholes."

Lin Yueyue was rendered speechless by the questioning, her body swaying precariously like a withered leaf in the wind. She knew that her conspiracy was about to be completely exposed under Murong Yi's interrogation.
