Chapter 396: The Flower Garden Hides the Corpse, and the Mystery Emerges

When Rong Sheng heard this, his eyebrows jumped, revealing a little surprise, and he seemed to be very puzzled by Shen Guifei's resignation to her fate so simply.

This can't be blamed on Rong Sheng.

Strictly speaking, these things in the harem should be asked by Queen Liu, even if Wei Mingxi is liked by Emperor Shou again, it is also a prince who opens a mansion outside the palace, and he is not allowed to be the master of the palace. At least in Xiliang, there are such rules, so seeing that Wei Mingxi can be stiff in his heart, the shock in his heart can be imagined.

He forgot one thing, what Wei Mingxi was holding in his hand was the forbidden army's talisman! And although the jurisdiction of the forbidden army was not on the concubine, but in the palace security, such as the appearance of bloody handprints on the palace wall, as long as the forbidden army suspected that it was artificial, they had the right to ask Emperor Shou to intervene in the investigation, and Emperor Shou also took advantage of this, and directly handed over the dispatch power of the forbidden army to Wei Mingxi, so that he could act as the sole agent of this matter.

Shen Guifei has been in the harem for many years, how could she not understand this, rather than pushing back and making herself fall into a worse result, it is better to admit it quickly.

More importantly......

From the moment the news of the beating of the Shen family came, she knew what was waiting for her. This day came earlier than she expected, and the form of coming was a little different!

She closed her eyes, now, she only hopes that her sacrifice can be exchanged for a little vigilance of the Shen family!

Wei Mingxi motioned for her to sit down, and she sat down too, Rong Sheng naturally didn't stand still, and the three high-ranking people were still talking calmly.

Wei Mingxi spoke first: "Guifei Niangniang, it's not that I mean to embarrass you, it's just that you have also seen the bloody handprints everywhere in this palace, and I won't tell you anything, there are also in other palaces, in the outer palace, and in Fu'an Palace, count the most in your palace, and they all have one thing in common, the place where the incident happened must have people who went out of your palace." ”

"What does His Royal Highness the King of Ling want to say?" Shen Guifei's face was gloomy, but she stared at Wei Mingxi and did not relax.

Wei Mingxi's calm face has always been sad and joyless, which is unpredictable: "The noble concubine has been in the palace for so many years, have you encountered any troubles?

"Everything is going well in the palace, the sisters are all kind, where will there be troubles!" Shen Guifei slowed down, and her tone was extremely flat.

Wei Mingxi replied lukewarmly with two words: "Really?"

Just these two words made Shen Guifei's heart tremble, of course these things are not the first time they have appeared, but they were not like this before. She looked at the palace city around her, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness, she had lived here for so many years, but the pain in her heart had also been suffered for so many years, and she was here every day torturing her heart, how could she be calm? For the Shen family, she had done too much......

Wei Mingxi's gaze followed her gaze one by one, and after a while, she suddenly smiled lightly: "The concubine doesn't want to answer, it's okay." These bloody handprints are concentrated around the flowerbed in the south, I think there must be something strange, why don't you dig up the flowerbed and take a look, the concubine won't mind, right?"

Garden......

Shen Guifei's gaze fell on the flower garden, where a piece of holly grew just right, and her body suddenly shook: "No, no!"

"Why not?" Wei Mingxi's eyes were aggressive.

Shen Guifei's face turned even paler: "This ...... Once upon a time, I was ill for a long time, and the Taoist monk said that I should build a flower garden here and raise some trees and flowers that are always blooming and undefeated, so as to repay peace. If you dig it up, it will definitely break the feng shui!"

"If you are well, you will be restored. Rong Sheng casually opened a smile on the side: "The noble concubine Niangniang won't believe in King Ling so much, right?"

"Feng Shui says, how can you be careless when you move your whole body?" Shen Guifei snorted coldly.

Rong Sheng shrugged his shoulders: "Feng Shui says, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." The noble concubine is deeply blessed, how can she believe these false words?"

Wei Mingxi was much more direct than him, he only looked at Shen Guifei for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and ordered: "Dig up!"

"You dare!" Shen Guifei suddenly got up and slapped the bracelet violently: "His Royal Highness the King of Ling, although you are from Concubine Hui, not my child, but in terms of seniority, I am Your Majesty's favorite concubine, and I can be regarded as your mother's concubine, do you treat your mother like this? If I don't allow it, I see who dares to touch this flower garden!"

"Does the noble concubine want me to repeat Fang Cai's words again?" Wei Mingxi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't say a word of nonsense, but the enough momentum exuded from his body made Shen Guifei's confidence gradually weaken.

At the beginning, he held the forbidden army talisman in his hand, and said the purpose of his coming, just like Emperor Shou coming in person, could Shen Guifei still be able to stalemate with Emperor Shou?

This scene is destined to be the ending of how Shen Guifei struggles and loses!

Shen Guifei and Wei Mingxi looked at each other for a moment, and finally sat back dejectedly, staring at the flower garden without saying a word.

Wei Mingxi gave the forbidden army a look, and soon, the forbidden army moved.

The holly in the flower garden was shoveled out and placed neatly on the side - if it was okay for a while, Wei Mingxi would put it back for Shen Guifei according to his words. When the holly was removed, a patch of yellow soil was revealed, and the root system of the plant was very distinct. The shovel in the hands of the forbidden army spun rapidly, and soon, a long trench was dug along the wall, the size of the bloody handprint.

With the excavation of this ditch, Shen Guifei's head never lifted, but became lower and lower. She held her forehead with one hand, her eyes slightly closed, as if she couldn't bear anything.

And the face of the maidservant Yan'er behind her gradually turned into a blank sheet of paper, almost unsteady on her feet, and she barely held it up with her back against the pillar.

Yan'er's eyes kept moving with the movements of the forbidden army, and she didn't stop for a while, her forehead was covered with light sweat in a short time, and her body gradually began to tremble.

The two of them are the same, and the people around them also have eyes, Wei Mingxi and Rong Sheng glanced at each other with complicated eyes, and the two of them, who had never been at odds, nodded in unison, there is really something wrong with this flower garden!

Wei Mingxi's eyes were even brighter, and the fingers holding the teacup continued to tighten, almost crushing the teacup.

The surroundings were quiet for a long time before I heard an exclamation: "Your Highness, there is something under this flower garden!"

As the words fell, the surrounding forbidden soldiers jumped down, and in a short time, a wet cloth bag covered with dirt was dug out of the soil. The bag is dark in color, I don't know how long it has been buried, and it has begun to rot. When the forbidden army cautiously lifted it, they still heard the tearing sound of stabbing, but the contents were not too heavy, and the bag did not crack. Finally dragged out of the dirt and placed it on the floor.

Wei Mingxi looked at the bag that could no longer see the color, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and a wave of sorrow welled up in his eyes.

Yan'er behind Shen Guifei moved out of the pillar the moment the bag was dragged out, and the hands of the master and servant were tightly clasped together, and they both felt the sweat in each other's palms.

The bag was quickly opened, and a foul stench hit the face, and the surrounding air was immediately disgusting.

The two forbidden soldiers couldn't bear the smell, so they turned around and vomited.

Wei Mingxi stepped forward slowly, and picked up a hole in the cloth bag with his sword, and a white bone suddenly rolled out of it, mixed with the yellow and clear soil.

The opening of the cloth bag was a little bigger, and another piece of white bone rolled out and turned around in the ground, and it was a human head!

"Ahh

"It's a corpse!"

"Your Highness, this ......"

The forbidden army around them immediately talked about it, and no one expected that such a corpse would be dug up in Shen Guifei's palace. Looking at the age of the corpse, the flesh and bones were completely decomposed, obviously not newly buried in the ground, and without the degree of decay, the corpse had been buried for decades, to say the least.

Who's this?

All of a sudden, everyone had such a suspense in their hearts, and they all looked at Shen Guifei.

Only Shen Guifei can answer this question!

Wei Mingxi turned around slowly, his expression was so faint that it was not a corpse that he had just seen, but the indifference and harshness in his tone were intimidating, and people did not dare to slack off: "Concubine Niangniang, do you have anything to say about this corpse?"

A trace of panic flashed in Shen Guifei's eyes, she quickly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were much calmer: "I don't know that there is such a corpse hidden in my palace, how could His Highness know?"

"The concubine doesn't seem to be going to say it. Wei Mingxi didn't speak, but Rong Sheng smiled: "However, it's a corpse after all, and the corpse can't speak." He paused, and his voice changed: "Although the corpse can't speak, sometimes it can't be underestimated, it always leaves a little clue in a way that everyone can't imagine." Guifei Niangniang, you said that it has nothing to do with you, I believe it, you allude to His Royal Highness the King of Ling, I also believe it, why don't we take a look at what clues the corpse has left, right?"

"What does Prince Rongsheng want?" To him, Shen Guifei was not polite, and she couldn't care about being polite: "Didn't Prince Rongsheng do it when he was in Xiliang, but a prince?"

She watched Rong Sheng roll up his sleeves and walk to the corpse, and couldn't help but smile coldly, and her tone also contained mockery.

Rong Sheng didn't care, he rolled his cuffs high, walked to the corpse and squatted down, looked at the cloth bag for a while, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly reached out to untie the cloth bag.

The forbidden troops around hurriedly stopped: "His Royal Highness the Prince, danger!"

The cloth bag has been buried in the ground for many years, and the eyes are immutable, and the corpse has been filled for so many years, maybe there will be some poison, how can it be directly touched?

Rong Sheng obviously thought of this, his wrist was in the air, and he landed on a holly branch that had just been broken, holding the branch in his hand, he picked up the cloth bag with the branch, and after exposing the corpse completely, he used a dagger to cut open the bag, so that the corpses were all scattered on the pocket, and then he took a closer look......
