Chapter 220: Examining the Imperial Concubine

As soon as he got out of the yamen, Wen Jing saw a strange carriage parked across the street, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Liancheng's figure appeared inside.

Wen Jing frowned slightly, every time she saw Liancheng, she felt a wave of disgust spread from psychology to physiology, although Liancheng had a handsome face, under the beautiful face was a femme fatale.

"Lord Wen, please get in the car." Lian Cheng's hand moved slightly, his face was expressionless, and he was also not happy with Wen Jing.

Wen Jing didn't say a word, carried the autopsy box, and got into the carriage.

Inside the car, both of them had tense faces, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Does Lord Wen think that Lian is like this, or can't offset the death of your maid?" Liancheng said suddenly.

Wen Jing looked out the window and said lightly, "Yes." ”

Unexpectedly, Wen Jing didn't even hide it, Lian Cheng smiled bitterly: "Then how do you want Lian to forgive Lian?" ”

"When I give you an autopsy someday, I will forgive your sins." Wen Jing stared at Liancheng Dao, although he knew that Liancheng's martial arts were all lost and his hands and feet were weak, Wen Jing still felt that his hands were trembling, and the cold touch of a dagger still remained on his neck.

Silent, Liancheng did not have the anger that Wen Jing expected.

"That day, maybe not too far away." Liancheng lowered his head and said.

Wen Jinghu glanced at Liancheng suspiciously, this is a person's death, and his words are also good?

The carriage drove away like a field, and there was silence again in the carriage.

"I have followed the prince since I was five years old, and I have lived for the prince since I was born, and you may think that I am ruthless by any means. But as long as it is beneficial to the prince, even if it is spurned by the world, I am useless. Liancheng said slowly, as if he was talking to Wen Jing, but also like talking to himself.

"The prince lost his mother at the age of six and was fostered in Concubine Chen, who is the biological mother of King Qi, she almost doesn't care about the life or death of the prince, only I am by his side, watching him cry every day in his thin bed. Watch him starve and freeze. Watching him being bullied by other princes and princesses, but he was strong and never cried when there were people, and since then. I decided to protect the prince. Don't let him be bullied by others. I practiced martial arts hard and followed the prince to read and write, so that one day. can let the prince sit in the position that originally belonged to him. ”

Wen Jing's heart jumped, Liancheng actually said these words to her unabashedly, he would not know that if this word was spread, it would be fatal, what was the purpose of what he said

As if he didn't care about Wen Jing's reaction at all, Lian Cheng continued with a faint smile on his face: "Don't look at him now that he always looks arrogant and domineering every day, in fact, this is just to hide the uneasiness in his heart, the prince is a very smart person, and he has more royal bearing than Zhao Yunze's arrogant maniac." ”

Wen Jing became more and more unable to listen: "You don't need to tell me this. ”

Lian Cheng was not angry, and said with a smile: "Don't you think that such a prince is worth your life for him?" ”

Wen Jing felt more and more that Liancheng was about to become a matchmaker who came to talk about matchmaking.

"I'm sorry, I may have said too much, I just hope that after I leave, there will be someone by the prince's side who will really help him, so that he doesn't have to live alone in the huge palace, and there is not even a person to talk to." After Liancheng finished speaking, he coughed violently a few times, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at a trace of blood spilling from the corner of Liancheng's mouth, Wen Jing sighed softly, it was a miracle that he was so seriously injured, it was a miracle that he could survive, if it weren't for Uncle Qian's intention to let him go back, I'm afraid Liancheng would have died a long time ago, she seems to be able to understand Liancheng's sentence "Life is better than death" now.

"The prince has a dear relative like you, and it is not in vain to live this life." Wen Jing said lightly.

Liancheng noticed that Wen Jing did not use the word servant, but used the word "dear", wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Although I am ruthless, I have never looked away from people, if you can help the prince, the prince will definitely be able to achieve his wishes." ”

"I might be going to disappoint you, but I don't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs." Wen Jing frowned slightly.

Liancheng smiled slightly and stopped speaking.

The carriage stopped, Wen Jing put on the curtain fence, stepped off the carriage, and looked at the magnificent building complex not far away, this is the imperial tomb.

Seeing Lian Cheng and Wen Jing, several guards hurriedly walked over and asked, "Lian Gongzi, who is this?" ”

"This is a friend of the prince, do you want to see it too?" Lian Cheng looked at the guard coldly.

Swept away by Liancheng's cold gaze, the guard hurriedly retreated: "The villain doesn't dare to offend." ”

"The prince is inside, let's go in." Liancheng said in a low voice.

Wen Jing and Liancheng walked on the goose warm stone road one after the other, and on both sides of the road were huge stone pillars and stone lions, which looked extremely solemn.

Walking into the hall, several men dressed as palace people were wiping the ground, and King Xuan stood with his hands in his hands.

"Lord Wang." Liancheng changed slightly.

King Xuan turned around, glanced at the two of them, and then walked out, followed by Wen Jing and Liancheng.

Wen Jing was originally wearing an official uniform, and with a curtain fence, he looked like three men walking together.

Come to a secluded place with the words Rong Ling written on it.

Walking into the hall, King Xuan suddenly knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said in a low voice: "Mother, the son-in-law has come to see you, please forgive the son-in-law for being unfilial." ”

The room was airtight and brightly lit, and a coffin that looked very precious sank into the ground.

Lian Cheng walked out and closed the door from the outside, leaving only King Xuan and Wen Jing in the house.

King Xuan and Wen Jing worked together to push open the lid of the coffin, the lid was very heavy, and it took them a long time to push it open, and the inside of the coffin was the real coffin.

It took another long time to open the coffin lid, because it was impermeable, and the two were tired and sweating.

The moment the coffin was opened, both of them were stunned, and the woman inside seemed to be asleep, quiet and serene, lifelike, not at all like a person who had been dead for many years.

"When did Concubine Rong die?" Wen Jing couldn't help but ask.

"He died when the king was six years old." King Xuan's eyes tightly grasped Concubine Rong's face in the coffin, and he was reluctant to miss the moment in the blink of an eye, as if he would never see it again in the next second, and tears gradually blurred his vision.

Wen Jing originally thought that what he saw would be an air-dried corpse, but he didn't expect Concubine Rong's corpse to be so well preserved, her skin was still blown, her lips were red, and she could hardly tell that she had been dead for many years.

However, considering that Concubine Rong has been dead for only ten years, it is not surprising that the female corpse of Mawangdui can still be preserved so well after more than 2,000 years.

From the perspective of forensic medicine, Wen Jing has always wanted to personally examine a thousand-year-old corpse, but has never had the opportunity, although Concubine Rong has not gone through so many years, but it is also the most well-preserved corpse for more than ten years.

"Hurry up and conduct an autopsy, too long will damage the body of the concubine." King Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Wen Jing nodded, put on his gloves, and after a few words in his heart, he began to check.

"The skull was shattered, before he died, he was hit on the back of the head many times with a hard object, the left and right teeth were loose and fell out, the hyoid bone was broken, it was a symptom of suffocation, the deceased was knocked down from behind, and the murderer saw that the deceased was not dead, so he pinched it with his hand" Wen Jing said calmly, the cause of death was very clear, if it was possible, she wanted to dissect the body to confirm, but King Xuan would definitely not agree.

"Don't say it" King Xuan suddenly knelt on the ground, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and tears fell to the ground.

Wen Jing sighed softly, this mood was about the same as when she saw the corpses of her parents in her previous life, and King Xuan should be more difficult to accept than her, for so many years, he may have been speculating about the real cause of his mother's death, such a result may be the one he is most unwilling to accept.

"Lord, please mourn, cover the coffin first, so as not to destroy Concubine Rong's body." Wen Jing said softly.

King Xuan stood up, and the two of them re-covered the coffin, as if nothing had happened, and Wen Jing knew that King Xuan had already had an uproar in his heart, and that tranquility might never come back.

"Mother, the son will definitely slash the enemy for you, you can watch it from the sky."

King Xuan kowtowed three times again, and then walked out.

When Liancheng saw King Xuan with red eyes, he didn't ask anything, just quietly followed King Xuan, and the three of them walked outside together.

Putting on the curtain fence and looking at King Xuan and Liancheng in front of her, she seems to be able to understand what Fang Cai Liancheng said, King Xuan at this moment is the King Xuan who really took off that tough mask.

Get in the carriage.

"How did Concubine Rong die back then?" Wen Jing looked at King Xuandao.

King Xuan was silent, seemingly completely oblivious to the world around him, completely immersed in his own memories.

Lian Cheng took over the conversation and said: "When Concubine Rong died, the prince was only six years old, and I was only eight years old, I was just scared stupid at the time, and I didn't even figure out what death was, until someone told the prince that he would never see Concubine Rong again, he cried, at that time it was only said that Concubine Rong was suffering from a sudden illness, and soon she was buried in a grand manner, and the prince has always suspected that the cause of Concubine Rong's death is too suspicious, Concubine Rong has always been in good health, saying that she died of a sudden illness, which inevitably makes people suspicious. ”

"Concubine Rong was indeed killed, your suspicions for so many years are right." Wen Jing said that the royal family usually covers up many ugly crimes in order to maintain the so-called royal dignity.

Lian Cheng was not too surprised, this result may have been expected by him, but King Xuan himself was unwilling to accept it, he had already made up his mind for a long time.

There were no words all the way, the three of them each thought about their own thoughts, and after half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Wen Mansion.

"Lord Wang, my task has been completed, I hope you keep your promise." Wen Jing said to King Xuan.

King Xuan bowed: "Naturally, Qi Niang, thank you." ”

"The prince is serious, Qi Niang will leave first." Wen Jing said lightly, and got out of the carriage after speaking. (To be continued......)
