King Rui fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide, full of shock and despair before he died. He stuck a dagger in his heart, Ming Ruonan stepped forward to check his pulse, and shook his head at Yuan Jing.

The two were about to check their surroundings, when Ming Ruonan heard someone approaching not far away: "Someone is coming." ”

Yuan Jing frowned, only meditated for a moment, and then said to Ming Ruonan: "Nan'er, you go first." ”

"How do I get around this scenario?"

Yuan Jing shook his head: "I can deal with it myself, but if you are here, their spearhead will be pointed." ”

Although Ming Ruonan was a little hesitant, he also understood that what Yuan Jing said was true.

"Be careful yourself."

She hurriedly wiped all the bloody footprints she had left on the ground.

Yuan Jing also hurriedly retreated to the door and said, "Knock me unconscious, don't leave a trace." ”

Ming Ruonan didn't think much about it, so he could only do what Yuan Jing had ordered, and the two of them finally glanced at the scene in the house.

The lights were getting closer and closer, and Ming Ruonan could only slash Yuan Jing on the back of his neck with one palm, let him fall on the cold stone slab, and go down the mountain to leave.

Linz was on duty at the gate of the mansion at night, and when he saw Ming Ruonan coming back, he was leading two horses, and he looked behind him a few times, but he still didn't see the figure of his prince.

"Princess, why are you yourself, the prince?"

Ming Ruonan was sweating at the moment, and hurriedly said to Linz: "You quickly take someone to the imperial mausoleum, just say that His Royal Highness went to worship his ancestors today, but he has not returned home yet, and he came to ask for someone." ”

"What happened?"

Ming Ruonan was helpless: "I don't care about explaining, you take Beibei with you, no matter what happens or who you see, you will be improvised." ”

Linz hurriedly drove the carriage with Lu Beibei and rushed towards the imperial mausoleum, and the speed of the carriage was not as fast as that of a fast horse. Ming Ruonan was pacing anxiously in the courtyard, if that gangster still had a fellow party, then the unconscious Yuan Jing would be in danger...... At that time, it was still too hasty, and I should bring more people with me, so that I could stay and take care of it.

She hurriedly picked up her ancestral tablet and kowtowed to the sky tomorrow: "Grandpa, you must bless Yuanjing well." ”

Yuan Jing slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the back of his neck was still a little sore, he looked at the people around him, all of them were officers and soldiers, only one Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, he was slightly impressed.

"Oh, Your Highness, you're finally awake!" This Shaoqing was so anxious that his head was full of sweat, a prince died, a prince fell to the ground, and his few heads were not enough to compensate, "His Royal Highness King Yu, do you remember what happened?" ”

Yuan Jing rubbed his forehead, as if trying to remember. The people around looked at Yuan Jing anxiously, expecting him to say something. But Yuanjing suddenly showed a frightened expression on his face, and then shouted: "Blood!" That's a lot of blood! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted again.

But this time, he was pretending to be dizzy.

This Shaoqing almost wanted to cry, he just pressed the person for a long time to wake him up, why did he faint without saying a word......

As soon as he wanted to get started again, he heard a report from someone outside.

"My lord, it's time to come down from the mountain!"

Shaoqing's legs were weak, and his heart should not have appeared here tonight.

He finally stood firm on the edge of the bed and asked, "Who is here?" ”

The officers and soldiers who returned were obviously a little unclear about the situation, scratched their heads and said, "There are two rounds of ......."

He instructed his men to watch the people and go out to see what was going on.

The first wave to come was Jingzhao Shaoyin, he recognized it, after all, he had just sent someone to report to the official. But the second group of people, he was really a little confused.

"Are you Qi Shaoqing?" The young man bowed politely, and was not ambiguous, and directly showed the waist card of the Yuwang Mansion, explaining his intention, "I don't hide it, I'm here to find my lord." Yesterday I said that I came to worship my ancestors, but I didn't see anyone go back in the middle of the night, and my princess was worried that something had happened to the prince, so she took me to take a look. ”

Qi Shaoqing saw that someone finally came to pick up this ancestor, and hurriedly led people inside.

"His Royal Highness King Yu is resting in the back room, I'm afraid he is frightened."

"I just heard that His Royal Highness King Yu is the first witness to this case, and the lower officials also have something to ask him for." This Jing Zhao Shaoyin is the son of Jing Zhao Yin, his real name is Zhang Shiyang, compared to his old fox father, he has the demeanor of a little fox, but he is not as sophisticated as his father.

This time, Taichang Temple sent someone to report the case, and knocked on the door of the old fox's house in the middle of the night, Jing Zhaoyin was very impatient, and he didn't know what to make people come in the middle of the night. As a result, when he heard that King Rui was assassinated, he collapsed to the ground in fright, or his youngest son Zhang Shiyang was sober-minded, and he hurriedly asked about the situation, and asked his father to enter the palace at night to report, and he came to the imperial tomb to see the situation first.

And Qi Liangyu, another Shaoqing of Taichang Temple who was called up in the middle of the night, was completely because he lived close to the imperial tomb.

At that time, a master of Taichang Temple took people to see the fainted King Yu and the King Rui with a dagger on his back, and the whole person was also frightened, and he hurriedly sent people to inform Qi Shaoqing and Yuan Lu, who was also the secretary of Taichang Temple.

So when this Shaoqing, who lived very close, arrived, His Royal Highness King Yu was still lying on the ground, and no one dared to move...... He regretted very much that he had not placed his family in the city, so why did he want to live in the western suburbs cheaply and have such troubles.

Qi Liangyu trembled at the moment and led Lu Beibei and Zhang Shiyang to go inside, and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestor who called him to come.

"You two, please."

Zhang Shiyang saw that Lu Beibei was not very old, and his face was still immature, so he had the heart to say something from his mouth: "I wonder how His Royal Highness King Yu happened to come here today?" ”

Lu Beibei frowned and sighed: "Lord Shaoqing doesn't know, some time ago, my prince went to the edict prison and did not die, but I heard that my own imperial brother also entered, and I was really sad, so I thought of the imperial tomb to find my ancestors to pray for blessings, ask Emperor Taizu for blessing, and ask for all things to go smoothly for the people around me." ”

Zhang Shiyang felt strange and asked: "The lower officials are puzzled, why didn't the prince go to the Taimiao in the southwest of the palace, but instead didn't care about the distance, he wanted to come to the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs?" ”

"The prince feels that he must tell his ancestors in person, and he always feels that the tablet is a little worse."

"The prince didn't follow anyone here?"

Lu Beibei sighed: "Naturally, there is." Originally, there were guards following, but at the foot of the mountain, the guards were bitten by a snake that came from nowhere. The prince said that the imperial tomb was only a few steps to climb, and he still knew this way, and he could go up the mountain. ”

Zhang Shiyang looked at Lu Beibei, always trying to see the flaws in his expression or eyes, but he never gained anything. had to be tempted again: "The prince is really kind-hearted." But after the guard returned, why didn't the princess send someone immediately? It's time to come? ”

Lu Beibei sighed again: "The guard fainted halfway!" The one that bit him was a poisonous snake, if it weren't for the princess's suspicion that the prince hadn't returned home at this hour, let's take a look, we wouldn't have known that he had fainted on the road! ”

Zhang Shiyang looked at Lu Beibei's angry and helpless appearance, and the doubts in his heart were gradually dispelled, but he was still puzzled, feeling that this matter was full of doubts, although there was no contradiction in this statement, but there was inexplicable disharmony everywhere: "Imperial Mausoleum, there are poisonous snakes?" ”

Lu Beibei quickened his pace, feeling that this Zhang Shiyang was not easy to deal with, so it was better to see the prince quickly and make offerings, so as not to expose the flaws after a while.

Zhang Shiyang pondered the case along the way, he had just gone to see the corpse of King Rui, the dagger was quenched with poison, and inserted from the back of the heart, the position was very accurate, King Rui should have died before he could resist.

It's just that his bulging eyes really made Zhang Shiyang suspicious, and he was very shocked at the moment when he was clearly dead. What shocked King Rui and what did he hear? What do you see? Or ...... I never imagined that this person would take his own life......
