Chapter 287: She's Back

Qin Feng really didn't disappoint Qi Hao, and early the next morning, Gu Jinxiu's body was found in a well in the backyard of the Qing Palace.

Moreover, it is still one corpse and two lives.

King Qing was still staying in the barracks doing useless work to win over people, so it was impossible for him to know the news in the first place.

One corpse and two lives, the little maid was stupid, and ran to the Xiangfu with her legs.

And the housekeeper of the Qing Wang's Mansion sent someone to the barracks to deliver a letter to the Qing King after the little maid left on the front foot.

When King Qing learned that Gu Jinxiu was dead, his jaw was about to fall to the ground in surprise.

For a while, he didn't care about the affairs in the barracks, so he hurried back to the palace.

Gu Jinxiu's body was lying at the mouth of the well, and the people did not dare to move at will.

An experienced old woman in the mansion suspected that Gu Jinxiu had a fetus in her belly, so King Qing sent someone to confirm it.

After examining the corpse, it was really confirmed that the child in Gu Jinxiu's womb was almost two months old.

King Qing was even more shocked at this time, he was not sure whether the child was his own or King Xuan's.

But it's not the point who this kid is, the point is that Gu Jinxiu is dead!

In the eyes of King Qing, although Gu Jinxiu is a concubine, she is Gu Huai's daughter in the end, and she is the link between King Qing and Gu Huai.

Now that the person has died inexplicably in the well, no matter what the reason is, the Qing King and the Qing Wangfu are responsible!

Just when King Qing was at a loss, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over and said, "Lord Wang, Gu Xiang, Mrs. Gu, and Gu Shilang are here!"

King Qing's body trembled, and he turned his head to look behind him with a nervous face.

Gu Huai's feet were windy, and he looked aggressive.

The eldest lady was supported by her grandmother, and her old eyes were red and swollen after crying all the way.

"...... Jin" looked at Gu Jinxiu, who was lying on the ground and hadn't had time to carry her back to the room, the eldest lady was about to be in pain when she opened her mouth, but she was pinched by the back of her hand: "Madam."

Mama shook her head, suggesting that the eldest lady should not expose Gu Jinxiu's identity.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth, brushed away her grandmother's hand, and ran to Gu Jinxiu's side in three steps and two steps.

Holding Gu Jinxiu in her arms, she hissed and said, "Child, my poor child!"

"When my mother came to see you yesterday, you were fine, how can you ...... Why is it that you just ...... one night?"

"Boy!"

The eldest lady cried heartbreakingly, which made King Qing even more weak when he heard it.

Gu Jinxiu is Gu Huai's pearl in the palm of his hand, he clenched his fists, his voice was full of pain, and he asked: "King Qing, please give the old man a reasonable explanation!"

"Jin...... Jinli, why did she ......?"

King Qing just came back, and he was also confused.

"This ......" King Qing opened his mouth, but he was speechless, so he had to turn his head to look at the innocent butler, and said sharply: "Butler, this king has been busy with military camp affairs these days, and most of the affairs in the palace are in charge of you, you tell this king, why are the princess's people in the well?"

Gu Jinxiu was knocked unconscious by Qi Hao's people and thrown directly into the well, not to mention the housekeeper, even the little maid who was guarding Gu Jinxiu's bed only found that Gu Jinxiu was missing after waking up.

searched everywhere, and in the end, it was the maid who fetched water who salvaged a Gu Jinxiu's shoe, which attracted everyone's attention.

Sure enough, the last thing to catch was Gu Jinxiu's body......

The king of Qing cleared himself of his responsibilities and pointed the finger at the steward.

Seeing that King Qing and Gu Huai were staring straight at him, the housekeeper knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said tremblingly: "Wang...... Lord Wang, the old slave really doesn't know why she is in the well, princess. ”

"Probably...... Maybe she stumbled and accidentally fell, too...... It may also be that there is something that you can't think of, and you commit suicide by throwing yourself into a well. ”

"Heh, you committed suicide by throwing yourself into a well?" Regarding the housekeeper's words in a hurry, Gu Huai obviously didn't believe it.

He kicked away the butler, his chest rose and fell, and he said unrelentingly: "King Qing, Jin...... Li died in your house, if you don't say one, two, three, the old man will enter the palace and ask the emperor for justice! ”

"Gu Xiang!" When the Qing King heard this, Gu Huai was going to enter the palace to find the old emperor, and said urgently: "Gu Xiang, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it."

"You also know that this king is now in charge of the affairs in the military camp by King Daining, and he has no intention of taking care of the affairs of the palace at all."

"Don't hide it, this king hasn't returned home for two days since he took over the military camp."

"Therefore, this king is also very sad about the death of the princess."

King Qing's words did not involve Gu Jinxiu's two lives.

Because, he was afraid that after saying this, Gu Huai would be even more dissatisfied.

After all, the child in Gu Jinxiu's belly is also Gu Huai's grandson.

"King Qing, are you saying this to the old man, are you dissociating yourself?" After hearing this, Gu Huai grabbed King Qing's collar, and his tone became even more annoyed: "This king married his most beloved daughter to you, not only did you take care of her, but also let her die in vain?!"

"King Qing, the old man is really wrong!"

Gu Chengen stood by Gu Huai's side, looking at King Qing coldly and silently.

Gu Jinxiu died, although the two of them were not the same father, they both had the same half of blood flowing on their bodies.

If you want to talk about the hard stone heart, he is not to the point where he really has no waves in his heart.

It's just that he is usually used to showing people with a cold face, so he can't see any expression on his face.

However, the cold aura emanating from his body can still be felt by those present.

King Qing was speechless, and Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of the little maid on the side, so his eyes lit up, and he pointed at her and said, "You are inseparable by the princess's side all day long, how did the princess die?" You said! ”

"I ......" the little girl wanted to cry without tears, and she couldn't speak.

Before the eldest lady left yesterday, she also told herself to take care of Gu Jinxiu.

However, she was so tired last night, so she slept very deeply, so that she didn't notice when Gu Jinxiu left the room.

Therefore, when Gu Jinxiu had an accident, she could not escape the blame.

"You say, Jin...... Who was she victimized by? Gu Huai always firmly believed that Gu Jinxiu did not commit suicide, but he killed him, so his tone was firm and loud.

"Slave...... The slave really doesn't know. "The little maid is the closest person to Gu Jinxiu, and she must know everything about Gu Jinxiu very well, so this little maid is also very responsible.

"How could you not know? Shouldn't you have stayed by the princess's side last night? King Qing snorted, not intending to let the little maid escape.

"I ...... I fell asleep last night and woke up to find that the princess was gone. The little maid was trembling and choked, as if she was afraid that others would not believe it, and kowtowed her head heavily: "Lord, lord, madam, what the slave said is true!"

"The slave really doesn't know why she fell into the well, Miss, slave and maid...... Woohoo......"

"Father." Gu Chengen glanced at Gu Jinxiu, who was tightly hugged by the eldest lady, and said slowly: "If you continue to argue here, you won't come to any conclusion."

"It's better to let the Qi Zuo give it to Jin first...... Jinli examines the body to see if it was because of drowning or something else. ”

"Okay, just do as you say!" Gu Huai took a deep breath and decided to follow Gu Chengen's advice first.

Gu Chengen glanced at the servant behind him, and he immediately stepped forward to examine Gu Jinxiu's body.

The eldest lady looked panicked, and suddenly hugged Gu Jinxiu's corpse firmly and did not let go.

She was afraid that the child in Gu Jinxiu's belly would be found out, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be anything even if it was found out.

No matter how you say that everyone is dead, no one will know that this child is King Xuan.

Just when Gu Chengen was in a dilemma, and he was about to let the eldest lady let go, the eldest lady let go of Gu Jinxiu herself, and was helped up by her grandmother with a twitch and stood aside.

After a while, he stood up and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, Xiangye, Gu Shilang, Princess Qing...... She is less than two months pregnant. ”

This point, King Qing has already found someone to confirm just now.

The people present, except for Gu Huai and Gu Chengen, probably knew it for a long time.

Gu Huai's old legs trembled, and he said in disbelief: "What...... What the? ”

He nodded and affirmed, "Princess Qing didn't drown."

"Except for a bruise on the back of her neck, there are no other external injuries on her body, which shows that she should have been knocked unconscious and sunk into the well."

"King Qing!" The anger in Gu Huai's eyes burned even more vigorously, and he couldn't wait to strangle him: "Jin...... She is pregnant with a child, why did you deliberately hide it from me just now?! ”

"This king ......" King Qing is at a loss, and his confidence is obviously insufficient: "This king also just knew."

Gu Chengen frowned and said coldly: "Let's see if we can find other clues and find out the identity of the murderer."

He nodded and checked again to find clues on Gu Jinxiu's corpse.

After looking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Looking back at the squire, the murderer did not leave any clues."

Gu Chengen snorted coldly, and said quietly: "Since the person was knocked unconscious, then it must have been brought out of the bedroom, go back to the room to find it!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves and led people directly to Gu Jinxiu's room, without informing King Qing at all.

Of course, King Qing doesn't care about any rudeness now, he just wants to quickly put this matter to a halt.

However, his mind was a little messy and he had no clue.

I hope that someone from outside will come in and kill Gu Jinxiu, if the people in the mansion move, then Gu Huai will definitely lift the roof of the Qing Palace.

"Someone, bring the princess's body back to the room first!" Gu Jinxiu's corpse could not be exposed, so King Qing waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to carry it back first.

As for the mourning hall or something, it can't be arranged for the time being, after all, looking at Gu Huai and the eldest lady who are desperate, they must not be able to find out why, and they have to spend time with King Qing to the end.

The group returned to Gu Jinxiu's room, and after careful inspection, whether it was the ground or the window, they also found no anomaly.

The eldest lady cried for a long time, and she couldn't breathe.

Gu Huai's face was darker than a layer of ash at the bottom of the pot, Gu Chengen squinted his eyes with a hint of danger, after so many years of handling cases, he never believed that anyone could escape the palm of his hand.

ordered everyone in the Qing Palace's mansion to gather in the courtyard, so they searched and interrogated one by one.

After a few hours, there was still nothing.

Gu Huai was furious and beat the little maid to death on the spot.

After Gu Jinxiu's corpse was brought back, Gu Huai immediately ignored the bitter obstruction of the Qing King, and went to the palace in a carriage to ask the old emperor for an explanation.

The king of Qing had just taken over the military power, and his goal had not yet been realized, in case Gu Huai said something wrong, he would involve himself again and ruin his painstaking plan.

There was no way, he could only follow into the palace.

For Gu Huai and King Qing to enter the palace together, the old emperor was very sudden.

If he hadn't known about Gu Jinli's marriage earlier, I'm afraid the old emperor would be surprised that Gu Huai would care so much about a concubine.

After all, when Gu Jinyao died, Gu Huai didn't move so much anger.

It can be seen how high Gu Jinxiu's status is in his heart.

It's no wonder, though.

Gu Jinxiu is the baby daughter that he and the eldest lady have carefully cultivated for many years, and she died so suddenly, and she is still a corpse with two lives, how can he not be sad and sad?

However, the old emperor did not mean to blame the Qing king at all.

Because, the old emperor is a small-minded person who holds grudges.

He would not forget that Gu Huai connived at Gu Jinli to marry Qi Hao instead of Gu Jinxiu, so he only said a few words of comfort and let Gu Chengen have full authority to investigate this matter.

Because the murderer could not be found in a short period of time, in order to express his empathy and indignation, the old emperor asked Gonggong Jia to send a lot of things to the Prime Minister's Mansion to appease.

This move of the old emperor, in Gu Huai's eyes, is to defend the Qing king.

And the Qing king also thought that the old emperor was favoring him, so he became more and more respectful and grateful to the old emperor.

The old emperor's attitude was ambiguous, Gu Huai knew that it was impossible to get justice from the old emperor, so he had to pin all his hopes on Gu Chengen and let Gu Chengen catch the murderer.

It was the first time that Gu Chengen encountered a situation where he couldn't find the murderer, which further stimulated his fighting spirit.

After returning to the Criminal Department, he began to work on Charlie.

Gu Jinxiu died, which was a big deal for Qi Hao.

After all, the danger of exposing Gu Jinli's identity as a substitute for marriage was avoided.

At the strong request of Qin Feng and Du Jiang, Qi Hao had to stay in bed to recuperate.

There are still two days left before the wedding with Shen Biyun.

Qi Hao had an idea in an instant, if Shen Biyun died violently, then there would be no need for this wedding.
