Chapter 257: Confinement
Luo Han's smile, Lu Qingyi's heart was even clearer.
Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi also followed out of the door, only to see that the female corpse's eyes were gouged out, ten fingers were also cut off, and there were all kinds of wounds on the body, the weather was not very hot now, but the corpse had begun to stink, and there were maggots crawling in the eyes, which looked extremely disgusting.
It's not that Shen Xi hasn't seen a big scene, but she feels that this scene is the most disgusting she has ever seen, and she can't stand the smell of corpses at all, Chang Qing can't help but vomit when she sees it.
Because of this kind of thing that happened suddenly, the banquet could only end hastily, and the emperor asked someone to arrange Yizhuang and them to another courtyard first, and then asked Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi to find out the source of the body, and then called Chang Wen away.
Shen Xi really couldn't stand the smell, so he stayed in the other courtyard with Chang Qing and the others, and the people in the other courtyard also talked about today's affairs, and such a big thing happened today, which would affect the reputation of the entire Chu State.
Thinking of this, Shen Xi had to admit that he was a little lucky in his heart, and made up the picture of Chang Wen being scolded by the emperor in his head, and Shen Xi couldn't help but want to laugh.
Chang Qing on the side touched Shen Xi with his hand, "Hey, this kind of thing has happened, why are you still laughing?" ”
"Why, you still don't want me to laugh?" Shen Xi glanced at Chang Qing, Chang Wen was scolded, she was naturally happy, who called her and Chang Wen rivals!
"I didn't stop you from laughing, but it's easy to be suspicious when you score and laugh like this." Chang Qing reminded Shen Xidao.
As soon as Chang Qing said this, Shen Xi immediately shut up.
Now the whole palace is lifeless, there are a lot of big and small things happening in the palace, but even the queen has never seen such cruel methods, and she can't help but feel a chill down her back when she thinks of someone being so cruel.
Chang Wen was called by the emperor to the imperial study, and there were only two of them in the imperial study, but the emperor's voice could be heard clearly outside the door.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on? How could this happen, how can you make such a mistake? The emperor's expression was majestic, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
Chang Wen has always been strict and meticulous in doing things, but today this kind of mistake happened, which made the entire Chu State lose face in front of Yizhuang, if this is spread again, wouldn't it make the entire Chu State lose face.
Chang Wen's face was pale, and he was thinking about who would do this kind of thing, which was clearly aimed at him.
"Father, it's the son's negligence." Chang Wen's voice was low and hoarse, and the sudden occurrence of this kind of thing also caught him off guard, and he had confirmed over and over again before the banquet started that there were no accidents, but now it seemed that he was careless.
The other party's modus operandi was completely unexpected.
"Is this a problem that you can solve with a single word of negligence? I really misread you. The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table, "From tomorrow onwards, you will have to think about it behind closed doors in your own house, and you are not allowed to go out without my permission, otherwise I will send you directly to the remote frontier." ”
"The retainers obey!" Chang Wen knew that at this time, it was useless for him to say anything, the emperor had already handed over this matter to Liu Congwen to deal with, and he had no right to ask.
On the other hand, Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen didn't even find out the identity of the female corpse, the female corpse was not from the palace, and when Lu Qingyi reported this matter to the emperor, the emperor's brows furrowed even deeper.
"So how did the murderer transport the body to the palace? The body could also be placed on the door beam in full view of everyone, and no one in the palace found it. "Good
"At today's palace banquet, there are many carriages coming in and out, and it may not be necessary to follow the carriage to come in." This is all Lu Qingyi's speculation, after all, this kind of thing is only known to Luo Han, but he can't really say Luo Han.
As soon as the emperor heard Lu Qingyi say this, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's leave this matter alone, you will definitely send them out of the city safely tomorrow."
Since I can't find out, I won't check it.
The emperor is not stupid, he knows that most of this matter is aimed at Chang Wen, and he knows the means of this battle for the heir, as long as it is proved that this matter has nothing to do with the palace.
Lu Qingyi didn't say anything more, so he was ordered by the emperor to transport the body out of the palace and bury it.
Back at the Lu Mansion, Shen Xi asked Lu Qingyi if he had found anything, Lu Qingyi shook his head, he chose to hide this matter from Shen Xi.
"This person died suddenly, doesn't the emperor plan to track it down?" Shen Xi was confused, this is not like the emperor's style.
"The top priority now is the safety of their lives in Yizhuang, not to find an unclaimed body." Lu Qingyi raised his eyes slightly and explained to Shen Xi.
"What about the second prince?" Shen Xi is most concerned about Chang Wen, he can't have no punishment!
"I was locked up and confined and thought about it behind closed doors." Lu Qingyi knew that Shen Xi was holding on to this matter because he wanted to know how Chang Wen was disposed of.
But obviously, Shen Xi was not very satisfied with this result, and saw her pouting, "Why was she just confined and confined?" ”
Lu Qingyi touched her head and said softly: "Do you really think that the emperor doesn't know that this is a frame-up?" Keeping him locked up is nothing more than trying to silence everyone. ”
For all this, Lu Qingyi has long seen it clearly, and the things in the palace can never be explained clearly in a sentence or two.
"It's just a pity that such a good opportunity!" Shen Xi sighed.
She knows the emperor's own reasons for doing this, but who knows where his reason goes, the king's heart is the most difficult to understand.
"You must know that since ancient times, the battle for succession has never been so simple, if you can easily sit on the throne in this way, then there will not be so many people who shed blood and sacrificed." Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi's dejected appearance and comforted him softly.
"I know." Shen Xi naturally knows, although she has not experienced it personally, how many history books she has read, since ancient times, she has become a king and a loser, and the king has stepped on the blood of countless people.
But she just thinks that this punishment is very important to Chang Wen, and it's a big deal that he doesn't leave the house, but he has Qingge under him, and he can't do anything he wants?
Lu Qingyi appeased Shen Xi, and went to find Luo Han, Luo Han was packing up his things, and he was going to leave the capital tomorrow afternoon to return to Chu Han, he didn't have anything when he came, and there were a lot of things after he went back, most of them were Shen Xi's books. He took it all with him, especially the one named after him.
Luo Han was not surprised that Lu Qingyi would come to him, he put his things aside, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "What, are you reluctant to let me go?"
"You know what I'm here for!" Lu Qingyi looked at Luo Han solemnly, and didn't have the heart to joke with him.
