Chapter 245: Is It Murder?
Kang Ying's body was found in Qianli Lake behind the Imperial Garden, because of the cold weather and the fact that it seemed to have been soaked for a long time, Kang Ying's body was a little miserable when it was fished out of the water.
Wei Rui ignored Jingxing's obstruction, and when she rushed over, Mrs. Kang had already fainted crying next to Kang Ying's body, and Ziyan was standing next to her alone, looking at Kang Ying who was covered with a white cloth in a daze, without any movements or expressions.
The only person at the scene who was calm was probably Kang Ying's father, Kang Shangshu, but even if he looked calm, facing his son's corpse, Kang Shangshu, who looked young, seemed to be a little older in an instant.
When the emperor heard the news, he also rushed over, almost all the people in the palace came, everyone gathered Kang Ying's body in a circle, Wei Rui was squeezed at the back, and she didn't see anything.
Jingxing protected her behind her, not wanting others to see her, but Wei Rui looked at this farce that seemed to be mournful but seemed to be a collective carnival, and she couldn't say what mood she was in.
Lost his soul and returned to his courtyard, Yun Gong saw that Wei Rui's face was pale, and the whole person looked like he couldn't give up, so he was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and hurriedly comforted her.
Wei Rui said, "Yunluo, can you help me inquire about Kang Ying's corpse...... Where will it be shipped? I wanted to see him one last time. β
Yun Gong seemed to hesitate, and only said after a while, "Okay, girl." But don't be too sad for the girl, to be honest, in the palace, such things are very common. β
Wei Rui looked at her in surprise, and Yun Gong also knew that he had lost his words, so he turned around a little nervously and went out to inquire about things.
Jingxing didn't worry about Wei Rui, so after understanding the simple situation, he chased after him.
Seeing Jingxing coming, Wei Rui finally didn't want to endure it silently, she looked at Jingxing, and said for a long, long time: "Why?" Why is this happening? How could he die? β
Jing Xing hugged her and comforted: "I just heard from the imperial doctor who examined her that it seems that she fell into the lake and drowned, and no other problems have been found yet." β
"How is that possible?" Wei Rui was very excited when she heard this conclusion given by Jing Xing. She said loudly: "Everyone knows that few people go to the lake in winter, and besides, the lake is frozen, how can it be possible to fall into the water and drown?" β
"Besides, although Kang Ying is not as familiar with the palace as other palace people in the palace, it is impossible for him not to know where Qianli Lake is, how could he fall into the water by Qianli Lake? Now that no one goes to the lake at all, how can such a problem arise? β
Jing Xing saw that Wei Rui was a little excited, and hurriedly reassured: "Now that everything has not been clarified, don't be impatient." However, in my opinion, what you said does make sense, in this season, the possibility of stumbling and falling into the water by the lake is very small, besides, Qianli Lake is not a necessary place for Kang Ying to pass through on weekdays, why he appeared there, this matter is also debatable, it is very likely that there are other reasons mixed in. β
Seeing that Jing Xing was in line with her own thoughts, Wei Rui breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that everyone would really be deceived by that imperial doctor, and would really think that Kang Ying had fallen into the water to cause her death, if she finally came to such a conclusion, Wei Rui would definitely not give up.
Fortunately, Jingxing is standing in the same position as her, since Jingxing can see something, Guan Qing will not turn a blind eye, if Guan Qing intervenes, then the real cause of Kang Ying should not be difficult to find out.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on Wei Rui's courtyard door. At this moment, the knock on the courtyard door made the two people in the room a little nervous.
After a moment of silence, Wei Rui got up and said, "I'll open the door, if it's someone who comes to verify, I'll tell them all the truth." β
Jingxing grabbed her and said: "What should be said and what should not be said, I think you know, don't set yourself on fire, our business has not been completed, and there are still many things to do." β
Wei Rui glanced at him, then nodded dejectedly and compromisedly.
Until now, everyone doesn't know what Kang Ying saw that night, and whether the person he saw was Jiang Yuyang or his father Kang Shangshu? Now that Kang Ying has died mysteriously, if it is said that his father did it, it is really incredible, but if it is not his father's doing, in Wei Rui's opinion, there is only Jiang Yuyang left as a suspect.
But in any case, Wei Rui didn't want to believe that that person would be Jiang Yuyang, she always felt that there was something wrong with this, and the person she saw that night was not Jiang Yuyang, nor his father, but someone else.
With these thoughts, Wei Rui walked to the door and opened the courtyard door. The person standing at the door was not someone else, nor was it the person who came to verify, but Sun Ziyan, who also looked lost and a little overwhelmed.
Wei Rui almost forgot that in addition to Mrs. Kang and Kang Shangshu, the person who was probably the most hit in this matter was probably Sun Ziyan.
Not long ago, the emperor resigned her and Kang Ying's marriage, but now, Kang Ying is only a corpse left, originally his fiancΓ©, but now he has become a surviving person.
This must be a very fatal blow to Sun Ziyan, and even if the emperor didn't give the two of them a second joy, with the friendship between the two people for many years, Sun Ziyan must be very sad. Sands Chinese
But in the huge palace, no one can be the object of his confiding, and it is even very likely that Mrs. Kang will blame Kang Ying's death on Sun Ziyan's head and pour a lot of dirty water on her head.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, who was only fourteen years old, Wei Rui's heart hurt like a pinprick, she stepped forward and slowly hugged the little girl in front of her, comforting: "It's okay, it's okay." β
No amount of comfort is pale at this time. Superfluous comfort has no meaning to the person concerned, but is just a kind of self-touching in the heart of the comforter.
Entering the house with Sun Ziyan, who was silent, Wei Rui was about to pour her a cup of hot tea to warm her hands, but she heard her say, "He's cold, right?" The lake is so cold, he must be cold. β
Wei Rui was silent, and Jing Xing next to him was silent.
"He was afraid of water and cold, and when he died, he should have been very painful and uncomfortable...... Right? Tears slowly flowed down Sun Ziyan's cheeks, her voice did not fluctuate, and she couldn't hear any ups and downs calmly.
But she was crying.
Wei Rui stopped, but didn't know what to do, but Jing Xing said, "Let her vent well." β
Seeing the little girl in front of her, Douda's tears pouring down her cheeks, Wei Rui couldn't do anything but feel helplessness and heartache. Even comfort is superfluous, and things in this palace are indeed as Jing Xing said. No one is easy, no one is simple, no one is happy.
Step by step, everyone walks on thin ice.
Wei Rui couldn't see it, turned around and secretly wiped her tears, Jingxing hugged her in his arms and sighed.
He originally wanted to say that this is the case in the palace, good people say that if they don't, they will be gone, sometimes you have only seen people, but in a blink of an eye, he will become unable to move or speak, his body is cold, and he will soon disappear.
Kang Ying has a great future, but he can't escape the calculations in the dark, all of this looks like a game that can never be solved, someone will always be bypassed, it's not you me.
Wei Rui was buried in Jingxing's arms and wanted to cry loudly, she cried many times after entering the palace, she was not like this before, but when she saw that the people around her one by one became uncontrollable results because of strange things, Wei Rui felt powerless.
She can no longer express herself as careless as she did in Minglang County, as long as she says what she thinks, someone will pay, and in the palace, one more typo can be fatal.
She suddenly wanted to go back to Minglang County, wanted to see her brother, Jia Zhenzhen, and other people, she didn't want to stay here.
Kang Ying's death gave her an inexplicable sense of crisis, as if the next person who would soon be her turn would be her, which made her afraid, panicked, and overwhelmed.
When the second prince came in, Wei Rui was a little stunned, she hurriedly withdrew from Jingxing's arms, and watched the second prince run to Sun Ziyan's side.
The relationship between the three of them has always been very good, and Kang Ying's death must have been a blow to the second prince. Sun Ziyan didn't know why, she endured it all the time, and when she finally saw the second prince, she seemed to see the person she had been waiting for for a long time.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they barely needed to communicate to understand each other's feelings, the second prince only sighed slightly, and Sun Ziyan suddenly burst into tears.
Fang Cai's embrace made her cry loudly, and at this moment, she found someone who could finally make her feel at ease, so she let go of her emotions.
Wei Rui couldn't stand this heartfelt sadness and helplessness, she walked out of the door, Jingxing reminded the second prince to be careful not to attract attention, then turned around and went out of the house, and closed the door by the way.
Wei Rui stood in the courtyard, she had regained her composure, she thought for a long time, and when she saw Jingxing coming out, she said: "Kang Ying's death is definitely not an accident, there must be someone behind to manipulate it, I must ......"
"The results are not out yet, don't jump to conclusions." Jing Xing hesitated, but still spoke, and said: "I know your current mood, but before everything is decided, empty suspicion will only lead things to a misunderstanding." At the moment, I don't rule out the possibility you said, but it's not certain that someone did it on purpose. β
When Wei Rui heard Jing Xing say this, she tried hard to keep herself calm, and it took a long time before she said, "I know, I'm sorry, I'm a little impulsive." β
Jingxing patted her on the shoulder: "Ziyan needs your care, I'll follow up on other things, don't worry." β
After a while, Wei Rui said, "I understand." β
