Chapter 14: Ming's Death
Because Shu Yao kept laughing, Nangong Tilting was also infected, and she also laughed.
"No, I just suddenly thought of such a sentence and said it, who knew it would be so funny." Nangong said with a smile.
"You're trying to laugh at the dead."
Shu Yao and Nangong poured out laughing like this for a whole quarter of an hour.
"Okay, okay, stop laughing." Nangong cleared his throat and said.
"Okay." Shu Yao also returned to normal.
"Shu Yao, let me ask you again, do you know why Bei Ran married me?" This is also a matter that Nangong Tianshen is very concerned about.
Beiran doesn't like Nangong Dumping and doesn't treat her very well, why should he marry her?
Shu Yao shook her head and said, "I don't know, I received a holy decree from Your Majesty very suddenly, saying that Your Majesty promised you to the prince." ”
Nangong fell into deep thought.
——
"Niangniang, the person who told the prince about the cane scolding Nangong has been found, what should Niangniang do? Or is it the original cane? Aunt Su asked.
Emperor Wan's concubine said unhurriedly, "Bring someone over first, let the palace take a look." ”
"Bring people in." Aunt Su shouted.
After a while, two guards dragged a maid in.
Emperor Wan's concubine slowly walked into the palace maid's side, "Raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”
The palace maid's whole body trembled, and she slowly raised her head.
Emperor Wanfei saw it and sneered, "It's a good birth, but it's a pity that this mouth is too much." Aunt Su, twisted her tongue, and if she was still alive, she would be killed. Emperor Wan said unhurriedly.
"Yes, sis. Someone, drag it down, and kill it with a tongue and a cane. Aunt Su shouted.
After a while, a guard dragged the person down, and the guard dragged the palace maid, who kept shouting for mercy.
Emperor Wan's concubine rubbed her temples and said, "What news has come back from Lianxin's North Palace?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, not yet."
"Send someone to tell Lian Xin that if she hasn't found anything related to Beiran, she won't come back."
"Yes, sissy." After Aunt Su finished speaking, she left the Mianwan Palace. sent someone to the Beiwang Mansion to quietly find Lianxin, and conveyed the Wanhuang Guifei to Lianxin word for word.
——
"Miss, it's not good, Ah Ming, she ......" Shu Yao hurriedly ran into the Suxi Palace, shouting all the way.
Nangong walked towards Shu Yao unhurriedly, "Say it slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Shu Yao took a breath and said, "Oh no, Ah Ming is dead." ”
"What!" Nangong tilted his voice up, I don't know how many decibels.
"The maid who slept with Ah Ming woke up and found Ah Ming hanged."
"Take me to see it." Nangong pulled Shu Yao to speed up her steps and went to Ah Ming's house.
There were many people gathered around the door of the room to watch.
When they saw Nangong Tilting coming, they saluted one after another, but Nangong Tilting didn't have time to pay attention to them, so they walked into the house.
As soon as Nangong Tianyu took a step, a person dangled in front of her eyes. The maid who slept in the same room as Ah Ming was cowering in the corner, squatting and hugging herself tightly.
Ah Ming hung from the ceiling, so frightened that Nangong Tianxuan took a small step back.
"Quick, get people down." Nangong said anxiously.
The guards came in from the outside and cut off Bai Aya with their swords, and one of the guards followed Ah Ming below, and the guards gently placed Ah Ming on the ground.
Nangong took a small step, stepped forward in a small step, and his body trembled slightly.
"Who was the last person to see Ah Ming yesterday?" Nangong asked.
No one answered for a long time, and finally a maid stood up to answer Nangong Dumping.
"Back to the princess, it's her." The maidservant pointed and cowered in the corner, hugging her maid tightly.
Nangong gave Shu Yao a look, and Shu Yao walked towards the maid, and stood up without knowing what to say to the maid.
"What's your name?" Nangong asked the maid.
"Back to the princess, the slave maid is called Xiaomi." The maidservant's voice trembled.
"When was the last time you saw Ah Ming yesterday?"
"Back to the princess, before going to bed."
"Is there something wrong with Ah Ming?"
Xiao Mi carefully recalled the scene when she was asleep last night, "Back to the princess, there is nothing abnormal. When she was sleeping, the slave maid had a chat with Ah Ming. ”
"Are you sure there aren't any anomalies?" Nangong was skeptical, and also emphasized the words "any abnormality".
Xiaomi insisted on her own elaboration, "No. ”
"Take Xiaomi down, look at it, if there is any accident, only you ask." Shu Yao said commandingly.
Nangong poured out the guards and maidservants, leaving only Shu Yao and her.
Nangong squatted down and looked at Ah Ming's body to see if there were any scars. However, both of them and Shu Yao checked it and there were no scars at all.
"Shu Yao, you go to Bei Ran, and let Bei Ran find a doctor to come over."
"Okay."
Shu Yao immediately went to Fuyuan Pavilion to find Bei Ran and told Bei Ran everything about what happened. Bei Ran asked his dead soldier Wu Xi to take the imperial doctor to Ah Ming's room.
"See the princess." Wu Xi saluted with Nangong.
"Get up! What about the Imperial Doctor? ”
"Here."
When the imperial doctor was about to salute, he was stopped by Nangong Ting, "Okay, you don't need to salute." Hurry up and take a look at Ah Ming. ”
"Please leave the house with the princess and everyone first." The doctor said.
Nangong and Shu Yao waited outside according to what the imperial doctor said.
After about a quarter of an hour, the doctor came out.
"How?"
"Back to the princess, this woman does not have any injuries on her body, and there is no sign of physical discomfort or poisoning, so I dare to guess that this woman did commit suicide." The doctor said.
"Stand down!"
After the imperial doctor and the servant left, Nangong and Shu Yao rummaged through the house, but they didn't find anything, but they were tired of themselves.
"Miss, why don't we go back to the Suxi Hall first!" Shu Yao proposed.
Nangong was sweating profusely, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and said while wiping his sweat, "Find someone to put Ah Ming in the coffin and send someone to guard it." ”
"Okay."
After Shu Yao helped Nangong Tanyu back to the Suxi Palace, she went to do what Nangong Tanyu told her.
Ah Ming's suicide in the house, Bei Ran is also sending someone to investigate, after all, it is a matter in the palace.
Bei Ran followed Wu Xi to the place where Ah Ming's pipes were stored and checked Ah Ming.
Wu Xi lifted the pipe cover, and the first thing Beiran saw was that Ah Ming's expression was very peaceful, and there was no pain at all.
Bei Ran asked Wu Xi to see if there were any traces of being beaten on the back of Ah Ming's neck, and Wu Xi carefully turned Ah Ming sideways, without any marks on the back of her neck.
Bei Ran guessed that Ah Ming should have been knocked unconscious by the murderer, and hung Ah Ming on the ceiling with a piece of white silk.
But there are no traces of being beaten on the back of Ah Ming's neck, is it .......
Bei Ran asked Wu Xi to find a servant and dissect Ah Ming's body to see if he had inhaled smoke.
He dissected Ah Ming's corpse and found it in the respiratory tract, and it was indeed smoke inhalation.
He also looked at the whole corpse, and there was no sign except for the smoke inhaled in the respiratory tract.
Beiran knew that Ah Ming married into the Beiwang Mansion from Nangong Dumping, and Ah Ming was the person who served Nangong Dumping closely. Bei Ran ordered Wu Xi to bury Ah Ming and give her family some silver, which was enough for her family to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
——
Nangong Tilting learned that Bei Ran had dissected Ah Ming, so he went to Fuyuan Pavilion to find Bei Ran to ask for an explanation.
"Why did you dissect Ah Ming?" Nangong asked angrily.
Bei Ran didn't tell Nangong why Ah Ming was dissected, but drank tea calmly.
Seeing Bei Ran drinking tea so calmly, Nangong Tingyu became even more angry, and directly snatched the teacup from Bei Ran's hand and smashed it.
"I'm asking you, you still drink tea calmly?!" Nangong poured out and roared at Beiran.
Nangong poured the teacup and smashed it, and Beiran asked Wu Xi to fetch another teacup and come back, and then drink it. It's as if Nangong Tilt is air, a transparent person, and it doesn't exist.
Wu Xi took a new teacup, and before it reached Beiran's hand, it was snatched by Nangong Tilt and smashed again.
"If you don't tell me again, why do you want to dissect Ah Ming, I will smash as many teacups as Wu Xi takes." Nangong tried to threaten Bei Ran by smashing the teacup.
"Finished?" Beiran said unhurriedly.
"Not yet, forget if you dissect Ah Ming, where did you get Ah Ming?"
"Buried."
After Nangong Tingyu heard these two words, she felt that a lightning bolt was split above her head, and she pointed at Beiran with her finger, and she was so angry that she didn't hold back a word.
Beiran saw that Nangong Tilt didn't speak, so he got up and walked out of Fuyuan Pavilion.
Nangong saw that Beiran was about to leave Fuyuan Pavilion, so he followed him all the way, shouting that Ah Ming was taken there by him, while trotting. Because, Bei Ran's legs are really a bit long, and one step of Bei Ran is equivalent to three steps of Nangong Tilting.
Of course, Beiran knew that Nangong Tianyu was following behind, and he also knew that she was very tired from walking. Therefore, deliberately speeding up the pace to make Nangong more tired.
Nangong couldn't walk anymore, and she was out of breath, "Hey, Beiran." Nangong shouted.
Beiran did not stop because of this.
When Nangong was thinking about going back, he looked around and didn't know where this was.
She couldn't see anything in the darkness around her, and she wondered how Beiran walked, and did her eyes grow on the soles of her feet?
Nangong looked around, thinking about finding a little light, but he didn't see it.
"Beiran, Beiran." Nangong shouted, although he knew that Beiran might have gone far, but he still wanted to give it a try.
But she shouted many times, but there was no response, only her own echo.
Nangong Tanyu was often locked in a small dark room by his alcoholic father when he was a child, and after a long time, he began to slowly fear that there would be no light.
The darkness made her feel like she couldn't breathe well, and she had some difficulty breathing. Every time she did this, she would crouch down and hug herself tightly. Because there is no light in the dark, it is easy for her to recall the scene of being beaten by her father when she was a child.
The darkness scared her, squatted down, tears flowed down, and her mouth kept repeating this sentence, "Don't hit me, don't hit me." ”
Even in her mind, the scene of her father picking up a stool and smashing it on her body was presented. As if it were real, I subconsciously wanted to protect my head.
——
When he arrived, Nangong still did not return to the palace. Shu Yao fidgeted and kept hovering in place.
"Why didn't Miss let me follow? It's all over now, and I haven't come back yet. Shu Yao muttered to herself anxiously.
Just when Shu Yao was still wandering in place, there was a sudden "boom", and Shu Yao was so frightened that her heart was about to jump out.
With the roar of thunder and lightning, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, making it eerie and numbing. Immediately after, one, two, three drops of rain fell to the ground, and a torrential downpour followed.
Shu Yao thought to herself: This thunder and rain are falling, thinking that the young lady said that she was going to Fuyuan Pavilion to find the prince, and to see if the young lady was still talking to the prince in Fuyuan Pavilion.
Shu Yao took an umbrella and went to Fuyuan Pavilion. I saw Beiran's dead soldier Wu Xi standing outside the pavilion, "Is the young lady still talking to the prince?" Shu Yao asked.
"Miss Shuyao, the princess has already gone out with the prince."
"Out?!"
"Yes."
I thought: When the young lady goes out with the prince, nothing should happen.
Just as he was about to leave, when he turned around, he saw Beiran.
"Lord Wang?" Shu Yao said in surprise.
Bei Ran was also a little surprised when he saw Shu Yao, "What are you doing outside this Wang Pavilion?" ”
Shu Yao looked left and right, but there was no figure of Nangong tilting, so she asked, "Lord Wang, where is my young lady?" ”
"She didn't follow the king."
"But Wu Xi said that Miss went out with you."
"Oh, it's true that she went out with this king at first, but she couldn't keep up with this king, so she went back by herself. It's time to go back to the Kanxi Hall a long time ago! After speaking, Beiran went in.
Shu Yao thought, the prince is back, and the young lady should also be back.
I hurriedly ran back to the Suxi Temple, but I didn't even see a shadow. I thought I should walk slower, so I held an umbrella and waited outside the hall.
