Chapter 105: Self-immolation

Because the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were busy entertaining guests in the front hall at that time, when it was found that the fire in the mourning hall was already very serious, and almost the entire hall was overfired.

At that time, there was no one left in the mourning hall, but in addition to the bones of Mo in the coffin, a woman's body was also found at the scene, although her clothes and the whole person had been burned beyond recognition, but from the jewelry that had not been burned, it can be judged that this corpse is the only concubine of Prime Minister Feng now - the second aunt Zhiyao.

In the front hall, where all the banquets had been removed and most of the guests had been sent away, King Cheyue was invited to sit on the main seat, while Prime Minister Feng and Mo Taiwei sat on the left and right, and the others sat in the lower part in turn, while Lord Jingzhao Yin Teng stood in the hall, carefully reporting everything he had verified at the right time.

"According to the analysis of the situation at the scene, the arsonist can only be the second aunt who has been buried in it, and the other evidence is that Shicai also found a letter in the second aunt's room, although there are only a few numbers, but it is enough to prove that she killed her son because of her hatred for the eldest lady, so she took advantage of the eldest lady's serious illness to kill her first, and today I saw that the prince and Lord Mo insisted on opening the coffin and re-examining the autopsy, for fear that the deeds would be exposed, so they set fire in the mourning hall**, and the bones of the eldest lady were all turned into dust."

While Teng Xiao was talking, he had already checked the letter found in the second aunt's room to King Cheyue.

Zhi Yao, who was born as a dancing girl, knew very few words, and many of them were Feng Huanling before she got married, and taught her to recognize and write in her spare time.

Long Yucang spread the letter between the two of them and motioned for her to look at it together, and Feng Huanling immediately recognized that the crooked words should be from Zhi Yao's hand, but he did not exclude that someone deliberately imitated his handwriting.

When the letter reached Mo Yuchi's hand, he only glanced at it lightly and said coldly: "If it is really as this second aunt said, it was she who harmed the eldest lady because of her resentment, then why didn't Lord Teng find anything abnormal when he conducted the autopsy earlier?" ”

Teng Xiao replied calmly: "Back to Lord Taiwei, although the suicide note left by the second aunt did not go into detail, the lower officials analyzed that she should have used a quilt or cotton pillow and other objects to block the mouth and nose of the eldest lady, which eventually led to her suffocation and death. This type of death is very similar to the death caused by suffocation due to a cold attack, so the post-mortem examination did not reveal any signs of murder. Although it is considered excusable, the lower officials are still a little derelict in their duties, and they ask the prince and the Taiwei to punish them. ”

Long Yucang said compassionately: "Since it was an extenuating mistake, such a situation was also unpredictable by Lord Teng, so why should he be punished?" What does Captain Mo think? ”

If it was just because of a temporary failure to investigate, and it was still an excusable failure to investigate, it would not be possible to convict Jing Zhaoyin of any major sin at all, and Mo Yuchi would not be stupid enough to hold on to a small chess piece, so he nodded very magnanimously in agreement with King Cheyue's words.

Feng Wanquan couldn't hide his grief and anger at this time, and sighed: "Lord Teng is indeed right, and it is also the fault of the mistake of the original appearance!" If I hadn't been able to discover the hidden resentment in my second aunt's heart in time, maybe Yaqin wouldn't have gone so early. But if she hadn't left her last words and wishes early, I wouldn't have seen her bones and suspected that she was murdered, and intuitively believed that she died because of the aggravation of the cold......"

Looking at his father who was almost in tears of remorse, Feng Huanling was sympathetic to Zhi Yao who had fallen victim in his heart.

Although he has long known that this Feng Wanquan is for the sake of the "overall situation", he can take care of people's morals, and even his closest children can be betrayed in exchange for a stable character between himself and the Feng family. But once again witnessing that in order to protect himself, in order not to bear the charge of murdering his legal wife, he did not hesitate to give birth to his only son, and the concubine who had just experienced the pain of losing his son was sacrificed alive, Feng Huanling still couldn't help but feel cold, I just felt that such a ruthless and unrighteous person really didn't deserve to live in this world!

The Mo family's doubts and speculations have been verified, but it is not the person they originally questioned who bears the charge, and the so-called "real murderer" has already set fire in the mourning hall**. Now not only is there no proof of death, but even the opportunity to open the coffin for an autopsy is gone, because Mo Yaqin's body was burned to ash along with the wooden coffin.

In this way, the Mo family could no longer attack the Feng family if they wanted to have a seizure, and they even had to comfort Feng Wanquan on their faces, after all, they were also in a state of losing their loved ones and not even having a chance to find the real murderer for revenge.

Even if he is as irascible and wanton as Mo Aoqun, he will no longer be able to find an excuse for the attack in this situation, even if he knows that most of this is a scene temporarily arranged by the Feng family, and he knows that most of the second aunt of the prime minister is a substitute for death, but there is no evidence for him to argue.

The same guests who were the last to leave, King Cheyue and Mrs. Mo were sent out of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time, but when they arrived at the door, they went their separate ways.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage back to the palace that Feng Huanling complained unhappily: "The man is ruthless, he can really deny his six relatives." Obviously, not long ago, he had loved and pitied the only woman who gave birth to a son to him, but when his own interests were threatened, he could sacrifice the poor woman without blinking. ”

Seeing the awe-inspiring anger in her eyes, Long Yucang took her into his arms in distress, and said after a long time: "At least, I will never treat you like that." ”

Feng Huanling was a little speechless for a while, she instinctively trusted his words, but there was another voice in her heart that kept reminding her that she must not sink into these sweet words that concealed murderous intentions, otherwise she would only end up with a tragic death like her previous life.

Even if you don't want to live in your previous life, Zhi Yao earlier is the most vivid example, if a woman relies on a man for the rest of her life, it is often difficult to have any good results in the end.

"What are you thinking about again?" Feeling her distraction and the aura of rejection that emanated silently, Long Yucang couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Although I didn't take advantage of Mo Yaqin's death this time to make the Mo family and the Feng family completely tear their faces, but with Mo Yuchi's resourcefulness, I have naturally seen that his sister-in-law's death must be related to Feng Wanquan, at least secretly the so-called in-law friendship between the two families has collapsed." Also, wasn't that person already saved by you in time? Why are you still so depressed? ”

Feng Huanling couldn't hide his astonishment and looked up and asked, "How did you know about the matter I told Yushu?" ”

"What do you say?" Long Yucang bent his fingers and scratched her delicate nose dotingly, "But everything related to you, I want to know naturally." ”

"Yes, my husband is such a powerful person, what do you want to know but can't know?" Feng Huan Ling laughed angrily, "I naturally know that today's events have given the Feng family the upper hand on the surface, but the Mo family has already seen through the situation, at least Mo Yuchi must have already decided that Mo Yaqin's death is on the Feng family." ”

Putting aside those negative emotions in his heart for the time being, Feng Huanling changed to a more comfortable position in Long Yucang's arms and continued to let him hold her, even if he insisted on continuing to hold her when he arrived at the palace, regardless of the snickering of all the house slaves, she still let him hold him all the way back to Wushuangju.

Yushu, who returned home first, was already waiting in Wushuangju, but she didn't expect to bump into the prince and the princess coming back affectionately, and she didn't know for a while whether to retreat, or to return to her master loyally first.

Feng Huanling struggled to jump out of Long Yucang's arms, and asked with great concern: "Yushu, can Zhi Yao be saved in time?" Was she badly hurt? ”

"Back to the princess, Miss Zhiyao only suffered some slight burns, and there is no major problem for the time being." Yushu lowered her head and replied respectfully, "The slave maid found a rough maid with a body very similar to her, and replaced her who was stunned and sent to the mourning hall to wait for death. Not to mention the huge Prime Minister's Mansion, they won't care too much about the sudden loss of an insignificant rough maid, even if they noticed, the slave maid had already arranged for their own people to be replaced. ”

Before the incident, Feng Huanling just had a gut that Feng Wanquan would not take it seriously and let them go to open the coffin after the banquet for an autopsy, and she first thought that she might be used, and because of this, it would be Zhi Yao who would fall into a dangerous situation and make her worried, so she immediately arranged for Yushu to guard, and if she found something wrong, she would find a way to rescue the person safely.

Yushu continued to report: "According to the princess's instructions, the slave maid has temporarily placed Zhi Yao in the Budrunk Building, and deliberately wrapped up a big circle on the road to confirm that no one followed her before sending it. In addition, the slave maid has already confessed to the shopkeeper Xuan, and will secretly find someone to heal her well, and will not leak any news. ”

Feng Huanling nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Yushu, you did a very good job this time, go down and receive the reward." ”

After Yushu bowed his head and thanked him, he bowed deeply to King Cheyue before retreating.

"Relieved now?"

In fact, for Yushu's ability to do things, Long Yucang Weiwei trusted and affirmed it, otherwise he would not have arranged people to her side at the beginning.

"Well, it's naturally good that Zhi Yao is fine, not to mention that she will be of great use in the future."

After getting the exact news that Zhi Yao was still alive, Feng Huanling was naturally happy in his heart, but he deliberately said something that was so rational that he was a little cold.

"Don't worry, the Feng family is like a grasshopper after the autumn now, no matter how much you toss, you won't have much time to live."

Long Yucang hugged Feng Huanling in his arms again, walked through the hall and through the room while talking, and went straight to the secret hot spring world behind the bedroom that only they knew.

This world actually did not really exist in the Cheyue Palace, at first Feng Huanling was curious but didn't think much about it, but after seeing more and more strange scenes that mortals could not imagine, she began to wonder if this wide hot spring bath, which could not be seen from the outside, would also be one of the "carving insect skills" used by Long Yucang.

As a result, as soon as she asked, he confessed that this hot spring was indeed conjured by him with a magic weapon, to be exact, this hot spring belonged to one of his spatial magic weapons, but he set the door to enter that space as a door behind the bedroom, and set it so that only she could enter it except for him.

It is not clear what this kind of magic weapon in the other cultivation rooms is used by Feng Huanling, but the magic weapon space of his husband's husband has always only been used to fight against her
