Chapter 25: Magnolia's Death

In a brightly lit corridor, a sneaky figure was present. The man cautiously looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked quickly towards an elegantly laid out room.

In the distant vestibule, there was a lively sound of ceremonial music, but there was silence in the room, which was arranged in the style of a wedding room. After the man sneakily opened the door, the room was decorated with white as the main color and colorful ribbons.

At this time, the doors of the wings on both sides were tightly closed, and the sneaky figure stood in the hall and carefully sensed it, and then gently pushed open a side room on the left. At this time, there was only one woman in the chamber dressed in a golden gown, whose face was also obscured by a golden mask.

The woman was lying on the only bed in the room. The man stepped forward and lifted the woman's mask, revealing a face that was the color of the country and the city. It's just that the woman's face is pale, without the slightest blood, and there is still a cloud of black gas lingering between her eyebrows, which is already lifeless.

When the man saw this scene, his expression was full of surprise, but his eyes were blank and he looked ignorant. Then he took out a jade bottle in his arms, opened the jade cap, and poured the small amount of liquid contained in the bottle into the woman's mouth.

I heard a sudden loud shout from behind, and a young woman dressed as a maid asked angrily, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

The jade bottle in the man's hand shook and fell to the ground, then he burst into a violent shape and attacked the maid. The maid turned out to be a spiritual cultivator, and as she resisted, she shouted, "Come on! ”

The man heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, and the attack became more and more rapid. But the maid's skill was not weak, and she dragged the man's figure and did not let him go.

The five guards who were the first to arrive here quickly joined the battle circle and besieged the man. One of the guards attacked the man, all of which were fatal to his vital parts.

Although the man's expression was ignorant, his will to survive was extremely strong. Caught in the midst of the siege, he burst out with all his strength, and there were signs of breaking out of the encirclement.

A black aura shot at the man's skylight cave as fast as lightning through the cover of the shadow, and the besieging guards and maids were unaware of this aura coming from nowhere. I just felt that the person's figure was stunned, and the guard with the highest combat power instantly struck, and the long sword in his hand pierced into the person's Heavenly Spirit Acupoint, and that person's life was gone in an instant.

And the man's godless eyes regained a moment of clarity, puzzled, angry, and I don't know what to think, there was a hint of pleasure in his eyes, and then they became dull again, and he closed his eyes with satisfaction.

The aura fluctuations caused by the fight attracted a group of guards. And today's protagonist Yuanyou Wang Li Chengji also sensed the aura fluctuations coming from the backyard of the palace, and first sent someone to investigate the situation, and then a guard came to report the situation in the backyard to Li Chengji with a panicked look.

Li Chengji's expression instantly became stunned, and there was sadness, and then they all turned into anger. Then he turned his head to look at Zang E, who was still talking and laughing with others, and shouted angrily: "Come on, take down Zang E, who intends to rebel, and the people of the Zang clan." ”

The palace guards who had been waiting outside the main hall immediately broke into the court and took down all the clansmen of the Zang clan who participated in the banquet, including Zang E. The originally joyful hall instantly turned into a murderous atmosphere, and the needle drop could be heard.

Before Zang could react to this sudden change, he was dragged by those guards to attend the seat, and those Zang clan members were also escorted to the center of the hall. Zang looked at Li Chengji angrily, I don't know why Li Chengji, who has always been scheming, suddenly attacked, and also charged Zang's gate valve with rebellion.

Zang asked angrily: "King Yuanyou today is your wedding day, and the old man, as your officiant, why did he rebel, and if you want to add to the crime, you have to come up with evidence." ”

"Old man Zang, you want evidence, right! Someone came to carry Zang Shiling's body up. ”

The officials of the Xia Geng clan who participated in the wedding banquet all showed a look of surprise. And the officials of the Zhao Xin clan and the people who came to see off their relatives from the Jinhai clan were a little surprised at first, and then they turned into a lively posture, although they still don't know what happened tonight.

The corners of Yue Qianming's mouth twitched, and then he turned into the same look as everyone else. He didn't expect Li Chengji's reaction to be so violent, and he attacked Zang on the spot. Seeing the guards bring Zang Shiling's body up, everyone in Xia Geng's clan let out an exclamation, and the faces of everyone in Zhao Xin's clan were already glowing with a faint joy, and the excitement was getting better and better.

Cui Hongjing, the patriarch of the Cui family's gate valve, didn't react for a while when Li Chengji suddenly attacked. It was only when the palace guards brought Zang Shiling's body up that he came back to his senses, and then walked out of the crowd and asked Li Chengji: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened tonight to provoke you like this?" Although Zang E has a lot of disrespect for His Highness, he has always been loyal to the king, how can he rebel?"

Cui Hongjing's words were full of needles, but they also asked questions that everyone present wanted to know. Everyone looked at Li Chengji, including Na Zang, waiting for Li Chengji's answer. Li Chengji has always been famous for his stability and wisdom in the Xia Geng family, and tonight on his wedding day, he suddenly made a move on the Zang family, which no one expected.

"Zang Shiling, the son of Zang E, used poison to assassinate the newlywed princess of the Lonely King, and was discovered on the spot. And the princess has been poisoned to death, and Zang Shiling Ye has been killed on the spot by the palace guards. This is the poison found from Zang Shiling's body, what evidence do you want, old man Zang. ”

The people of the Jinhai envoy who came to see off their relatives were still watching the excitement, and suddenly heard Li Chengji say that his princess had died of poison, and they were a little stunned. I saw a middle-aged man rushing out of the crowd, came to Li Chengji, and asked, "Li Chengji, what did you just say?"

This person is the envoy of the delegation to send relatives this time, Jin Chengyi, is the uncle of Princess Yulan, who has watched Princess Yulan grow up since he was a child, and loves Princess Yulan very much. Now that I suddenly heard the news of Princess Magnolia's violent death, I couldn't accept it for a while.

Jin Chengyi was dissatisfied with Princess Yulan's marriage to Xia Geng's country. However, Yulan herself fell in love with Li Chengji and agreed to the matter of harmony. In the end, under the persuasion of his brother, Jin Chengyi had to agree, and finally asked him to personally send Yulan to his relatives. Seeing Li Chengji nodding with tears in his eyes, he immediately said, "Take me to see." ”

That Zang looked at Zang Shiling's corpse, and then looked at a jade bottle in Li Chengji's hand, his eyes flashed with tyranny, but his face was still calm. opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, this matter must be unusual, since Shi Ling was caught red-handed, the old man doesn't want to say anything." But His Royal Highness pointed out that my Zang family had a rebellious heart, but the old man didn't dare to admit it. ”

Li Chengji had regained his composure at this time and understood that what happened tonight was unusual. looked at the people of the Zang clan who were escorted, and immediately ordered the commander of the guards to escort these people to the prison of the palace, and detain them first, waiting for processing.

Immediately, the officials of the palace went to chase Li Degong, who had left not long ago, and summoned Mu Renzhong and Jin Chengyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to go to the wedding room tonight. Na Mu Renzhong is one of the important members of the Mu clan, the son of the patriarch of the Mu clan today, and a well-known master of case solving in the Xia Geng clan, relying on his own ability to get to today's position step by step.

When Li Chengji and the three of them left the main hall, everyone spoke out to discuss tonight's emergency. And Cui Hongjing looked at the back of the three of them leaving, and was already thinking about the impact of tonight's incident on the future of Jin and Xia, and the alliance between the two countries just now will inevitably be affected by this incident and may break down, and there may be a big war between the two countries.

Cui Hongjing looked at the people of the Zhao Xin clan who were gloating in the distance, and walked towards Cui Yan, and the two talked in a low voice. Cui Yan walked towards Yue Qianming and the others, and after saluting, he said, "Divine General Qianming, something like this happened tonight." Please forgive me for any inattentive greetings, and please go back to the embassy to rest first. ”

Yue Qianming said with a smile: "The public security in your country is really not very good, so we won't bother you here to solve the case." However, there is one thing I would like to explain first, please postpone the matter of the talks between our two countries for a few days, and I will have to report what happened here to my lord before making a decision. ”

"General Qianming, the date of the meeting has been determined in the form of an official document yesterday, and you have also signed the document to confirm it, how can you change it at will. ”

"Deputy Envoy Chunyu, can't the time of this meeting be changed?"

"That's true, but the content of this meeting should be changed. Cui Shilang, what do you think?"

"The talks between the two countries are meant to be talks, and as for the result, each depends on his ability!"

"Okay! Then Cui Shilang, we'll see you the day after tomorrow, and Yue and the others will leave first. ”

After Cui Yan sent Yue Qianming and the others out of the banquet hall, he returned to Cui Hongjing's side. I only heard Cui Hongjing ask, "How is it? Do you find out anything?"

"I don't feel like Zhao Xin's country did it, then Yue Qianming and the others should know nothing about this matter, otherwise they wouldn't have signed the meeting document yesterday. However, their attitude has become more arrogant, and it seems that this time they should not think about getting too much benefit from the Zhao Xin clan. ”

"In the past few days, people have been sent to closely monitor the every move of the Zhao Xin clan, and the people of the Zang clan have to be monitored. That Zang Yi believed that he would soon be released by the king, and the old fox would not be brought down so easily. But this old fox didn't want to get out so easily this time. ”

"Brother, who did you say about this, can you say that Zang Shiling made a move. However, the grudge between the Zang family and His Royal Highness is a little deep. His Royal Highness and Princess Magnolia were happy with each other, and only then did the marriage between the two countries occur. ”

"It doesn't matter who did it, my Cui clan also has to take action, this time I must let Zang's vomit out some of what I ate before. ”

Li Chengji and the three of them came to the wedding room, looking at the festive arrangement in front of them, Li Chengji's heart was sad and angry. The three of them came to the left wing, and the maid who first found Zang Shiling was holding Princess Yulan's body and weeping. His eyes were blank, and he still didn't notice that someone was in the room.

I only heard Jin Chengyi shouting: "Come on, take Zijuan, the maid who protects the princess unfavorably, down and kill her with a cane." ”

There were guards from the Jinhai clan who came with him, and they stepped forward to drag Zijuan who was holding Yulan's body, and when he was about to go out, Li Chengji hurriedly shouted: "Slow! Now there are still some things to know about Zijuan." Looking at Zijuan with tears in his eyes, he said: "King Yi, Zijuan grew up with Yulan since she was a child, I believe that Yulan also Zijuan died because of this, please let Zijuan go." ”

"Your Highness Ji, if you have any questions, just ask! After you finish asking, Zijuan will decide on its own, I don't want the princess to stay alone in the kingdom of heaven. ”
