Chapter 024: The Mystery of the Cause of Death
"Xixi, I've been looking for you for a long time. β
Shang Jue came amazingly, and everyone watched him, but his eyes were only on one person.
The eyes were gentle, and the smile was thin, because of him, because of his words, the dead air of this desolate place was lightened by two points, and Chaoxi, who was bent and kneeling, raised his head, facing his eyes as deep as the abyssal sea, in the past, she couldn't see what was hidden in it, but at this time, it was clearly written that there were two points of distress, and Chaoxi frowned slightly, Shang Jue had already walked towards her!
The sons knelt, the princesses knelt, and even Duan Jinyi knelt straight without getting up, Shang Jue walked straight to Chaoxi's side along the road that everyone made way for the King of Shu, shook her shoulders with his hand, and pulled her up slowly and undoubtedly, this move was extremely presumptuous, but Shang Jue did it ordinarily, as if this was Yanjing and not Baling.
"You entered the palace too early today, you were already gone when I arrived at the princess's mansion, and when I entered the palace, I said that you arrived at the palace, and I wanted to see you again after the ceremony of entering the genealogy, but something went wrong again. β
Shang Jue straightened the messy hair on his shoulders and turned to look at the corpse lying not far away.
"The beauty has passed away, please mourn the change on the King of Shu's Day. β
Feng Qin stood at the door of the Moon Cave Gate in a daze, the hem of his robe was still grasped by Feng Nianxin in the palm of his hand, and when he saw that he was up and the others were still kneeling, he couldn't help but wave his hand, "Get up and talk, this, what's going onββ"
Feng Nianxin's gaze has not moved away from Shang Jue since he appeared, and only at this moment did she suddenly wake up, she didn't get up, but grabbed Feng Qin's robe again and cried, "Father, it was she who killed Qin Meiren......
Everyone stood up one after another, their eyes more or less wandered between the day and the night and Shang Jue, Shang Jue heard Feng Nianxin's words earlier, but he didn't have a seizure, and Feng Nianxin emphasized it at this moment, he couldn't help but ignore it!
The moment Feng Qin looked down at his daughter, Shang Jue also looked over.
"What did the Twelve Princesses say?"
Shang Jue entered the inner palace of Shu for the first time, and it was the first time he saw the inner family of the king of Shu, but he accurately shouted out Feng Nianxin's ranking in the royal family, Feng Nianxin was stunned, and even Feng Qin was stunned, "The prince ......
Feng Yuan and Feng Yu had seen Shang Jue last night, but the others, including Duan Jinyi, had seen Shang Jue for the first time, His Royal Highness the Prince who controlled the government of the Yan Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Prince who defeated the Zhao State and the Jin Kingdom, the rumors about him had long been spreading, and everyone knew that he had come to Baling, but no one thought that he would appear like this.
Looking at Chaoxi and Shang Jue's appearance at the moment, it seems that everything has really happened......
"Xi Xike is dead, Qin Meiren, where do you start with this?"
Shang Jue's gaze swept over Feng Nianxin's body, and then he asked with a smile, and his eyes fell on Chaoxi again, as if he really felt that this was a little ridiculous, the audience was silent, no one dared to answer him, Feng Nianxin knelt dumbly, looked at Shang Jue for a moment, the fear on his face gradually thickened, and after a moment he came back to his senses, probably thinking that Feng Qin suddenly had courage here!
"Qin Meiren met her in Zhaoren Palace in the morning, and after meeting her, she couldn't give up, if not, how could the beauty stumble and fall into the well and die?
Feng Nianxin is young, how can she know how noble Shang Jue's status is, so she is even more fearless.
Feng Qin's brows furrowed before she finished speaking, but he didn't stop Feng Nianxin from talking, and waited until Feng Nianxin finished speaking before he scolded softly, "Xin'er, that's your sister, Hugh is talking nonsense!"
looked up again and again and smiled helplessly, "Shizi, Xin'er is young......"
The corners of Shang Jue's lips raised slightly, "This morning, Lone is still wondering, why is it difficult to enter the palace at night? Even the King of Shu was wondering just now, right?"
Feng Qin's face changed slightly, and the others heard it in a fog.
Shang Jue took Chaoxi's hand, Chaoxi never said much from beginning to end, and at this moment he didn't know what Shang Jue was going to do, when he was held, he only struggled a little and stopped moving, Shang Jue looked at her seriously, and his voice was full of worry, "This morning Fulan said that you are in trouble today, so I rushed to find you, but I didn't want to be a step too late." β
Shang Jue only looked at Chaoxi and said this, Chaoxi frowned when he heard it, and others also understood seven or eight points, Shang Jue pinched Chaoxi's palm, and continued, "I didn't know how difficult it was for you to enter the palace today, but now I understand, if everyone in the palace is as innocent as the twelve princesses, I'm afraid that you will have a powerful name today!"
If this is true, no matter where she goes in the future, she will be rejected by others, coupled with her name of rebellion and all kinds of incidents in the past, she is only afraid that eternal life will not turn over, although she is not injured or painless today, but this invisible sword is the most terrifying.
This was said by Shang Jue to Chaoxi, but it was also said to others, Feng Qin's expression changed a few times, and finally took a step forward and said, "The prince doesn't have to worry, Xin'er just said it, but no one inside and outside the palace will be so false!"
Feng Nianxin knelt on the ground, and when she saw this, she was about to say more, but another woman in blue stepped forward and pulled her up, and shook her head lightly at her as a warning.
Shang Jue turned to look at Feng Qin, "The king said a word, Shang Jue naturally believed it." β
After a slight pause, he suddenly turned to look at Qin Meiren's corpse, frowned a few times, looked at the atrium again, looked around, and finally looked at the barren well, his brows furrowed, obviously unhappy, Feng Qin's heart was tight, and he couldn't help but say, "If the prince has something to say, you might as well say it directly, today's unexpected birth, I really didn't expect ......."
Feng Qin's voice was heavy again, but Shang Jue clenched his palm and shook his head.
"The death of the beauty, I'm afraid it was not an accident. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and even the day and night couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Everyone looked at Shang Jue, and then looked at the corpse of Qin Meiren lying not far away, only to feel that Shang Jue's words were really ridiculous, everyone was silent, but Feng Yuan shook his head, Shang Jue came too late today, and he had never heard the palace slave's explanation, so he had such doubts, so he stepped forward and said, "The prince doesn't know, the palace slave who followed Qin Meiren explained the situation earlier, Qin Meiren should have stumbled and fell into the well, it was indeed an accident." β
Shang Jue swept this scene, except for a few low-level palace maids who looked nervous, but there were no more palace maids, where did the palace slaves who followed Qin Meiren go? Just wondering, Feng Yuan said again, "Those people have been dealt with according to the palace rules!"
As a slave, but failing to protect the master, it must be a capital crime.
But the condemnation of the capital offense was too fast.
Shang Jue turned his head and glanced at Feng Yuan, "The sixth prince might as well say-"
Feng Yuan paused, he didn't expect Shang Jue to really seriously consider the possibility that Qin Meiren's death was not an accident, his eyes flashed helplessly, but he had to do it, so he said it again according to the words of the palace slave before.
Shang Jue listened with his head bowed, his hand never let go, he looked at Shang Jue day and night, his eyes showed deep thought, and Shang Jue looked at her comfortably and said solemnly, "Although this atrium has been barren for many years, the location of this well has not been completely blocked, and the beauty is not the first time to come, so naturally she will not know the location of this well, unless she is blind or jumps into the well by herself, how can she fall down?"
Shang Jue's words fell, and everyone took a closer look at the atrium, because of the words of the palace slave, everyone had a preconceived idea that Qin Meiren must have stumbled and fell, but at the moment, the location of the well was very obvious, unless she was blind or deliberately wanted to jump into the well, it was really difficult to fall down accidentally, Feng Yuan frowned, and some couldn't answer.
Seeing this, Feng Yu also stepped forward, "But the palace slave said that Qin Meiren was in a trance today, and it was inevitable that she would forget the location of this well...... Besides, the matter of the fifth princess made the beauty heartbroken, and she may have had some thoughts of suicide. β
Shang Jue shook his head, "How come, the jade body of the fifth princess has not yet returned to Baling, and the beauty will not commit suicide at this time anyway, as for the trance that the palace slave said...... The eighth prince don't forget what she is doing today, the beauty has a spiritual talisman, the purpose of coming here is clear, before entering the atrium, she also ordered the servant to wait outside, if she is really in a trance and can't distinguish what is under her feet, how can she remember this, the servant is outside the atrium, separated by a wall, but with an exclamation she feels that she has stumbled. β
When Shang Jue said this, everyone only felt a chill down their backs, this place was already desolate, and Qin Meiren stumbled here and died, which was already terrifying, but with Shang Jue's words, didn't Qin Meiren stumble?! If it wasn't a stumble, it could only be murder...... In this desolate place in the deep palace, someone dared to murder the concubine of the King of Shu?!
Everyone thought of this question, and Feng Qin's expression was solemn, "Your Highness means ......"
Shang Jue's eyes turned away slightly, "I wonder if you have found out the cause of the beauty's death?"
Shang Jue didn't answer the words of the King of Shu, but just asked again, Feng Qin frowned, Duan Jinyi and the others also frowned, although the well was a barren well, it was not a dry well, and Qin Meiren was naturally drowned by the water in the well......
"There is water in this well, and the beauty is naturally drowned. β
Feng Yu couldn't help but reply, everyone else had a look of approval, day and night knew that Shang Jue didn't have a deep meaning in every word, so he looked at the lying corpse, Qin Meiren's whole body was wet, her skirt and hands and feet were stained with mud from the well, it did look like she had been drowned, and Shang Jue had only looked at the corpse from a distance since she came in, could it be that Shang Jue had found something wrong?
"So the cause of the beauty's death has not yet been ascertained. β
Shang Jue sighed, and his eyes turned to look at Feng Qin, "The king might as well come to inspect the history." β
Originally, no one had ever doubted the cause of Qin Meiren's death, even if others doubted the King of Shu, they probably wouldn't agree, but it was Shang Jue who said this, even if Feng Qin still felt that the cause of Qin Meiren's death was drowning, but at this time, he had to follow Shang Jue's meaning to take a look, and with a wave of his hand, Feng Qin said, "Come to Ling Shi!"
Shang Jue's words Feng Qin valued it so much, which showed that his status was extraordinary, and everyone present did not dare to object, Wang Qing walked out slowly, and soon led four eunuchs with small boxes and gray clothes to walk in from outside.
The four people first bowed to the king of Shu, and then walked to Qin Meiren's corpse, the two took out the white curtain from the box and opened it on the spot, and the other two slowly checked behind the curtain.
Qin Meiren has a noble status, and the autopsy naturally has to avoid people, Feng Qin looked at the curtain speechlessly, and waited with everyone for the post-mortem Ling Shi's words, if it is drowned, it is a trivial matter, but if it is not drowned......
Feng Qin's eyes flashed with a thin light, and he looked at the people standing there in turn.
Today, his sons and daughters are here, but the harem concubines are only the queen, if Qin Meiren didn't drown, then who was going to kill her? Qin Meiren is in the inner palace, the family power is only mediocre, and the only daughter also had an accident and died, she is not the youngest and most beautiful in the palace, nor is she the most favored one by the King of Shu, and the position of the beauty will not pose a threat to anyone, her death makes everyone panic today, but Feng Qin knows that she will be forgotten by the entire palace in less than half a month, it can be said that her death will not affect anyone, since it has no impact on anyone, but why-
Feng Qin's heart suddenly jumped, no, it didn't have an impact on anyone.
When he thought of this, he was looking at Feng Nianxin, the face of the twelve princesses was full of fear, her eyes were hesitant between Chaoxi and Shang Jue, and her eyes were full of undisguised disgust and rejection, as if she was some kind of demon and monster.
Feng Qin's chaotic mind that he had no clue suddenly settled.
If Qin Meiren's death had an impact on anyone, it only affected one day.
Even Feng Nianxin can say that Qin Meiren has died in the morning and evening, Feng Qin doesn't need to think about it to know that there will be more ugly words inside and outside the palace, even if he gets the title of Princess Shaoguang, his eldest daughter still can't escape the magic barrier of rebellion.
Feng Qin looked at Chaoxi again, his eyes were much deeper than last night, and it was also at this time that the white curtain slowly fell down and covered the beauty, the autopsy Ling Shi had been checked, and Qin Meiren was still lying on the cold muddy ground.
Feng Qin looked at the person who performed the autopsy, and his voice was deep, "How?"
Ling Shi, who was in charge of the autopsy, was quite old, dressed in gray, his whole face was wooden and lifeless, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, he was full of old age but no beard, how strange it was, but he was full of calm, it was the king of Shu who asked, and he was still the beauty favored by the king, but when he answered, he was not in a hurry and did not panic.
"The king, the beauty was shocked and died. β
