Chapter 404: The Murderer Is a Fox Demon?
Yanyun Country Inn.
Nangong Xun came in from outside, hurriedly saluted Duanmu Yan, who was reading the file, and approached, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, the Feng Lord of the Feng Kingdom sent the prince of Shuyu into the palace to dedicate it to the Empress Dowager Gu."
"Really?" Duanmu Yan's expression was calm, not surprised.
Nangong Xun didn't have his good concentration, frowned, and was a little frightened:
"Your Majesty, does the Phoenix Lord know ......?"
Duanmu glanced at him coldly.
Nangong Xun swallowed back the second half of the sentence under his eyes, but he was still uneasy:
"If she knew, she had been around people for so many years...... Your Majesty, such a person is too dangerous......"
Nangong Xun is a close minister and a favorite minister, so Duanmu Yan did not offend his mouth.
Duanmu snorted.
At this moment, Xiahou Yi, the right minister of Yanyun Kingdom, walked in quickly, and after saluting, he said:
"Your Majesty, the minister got the news that several woodcutters found the bodies of two men and one woman on the shore of Mingyue Lake at four o'clock yesterday, the cause of death was the loss of blood in their bodies, and many wounds similar to those bitten by wild beasts were found on their bodies, but there were no wild beasts near Mingyue Lake. The four woodcutters were determined, and before they could find the bodies, they saw a woman with ears and a fox's tail running towards the woods, running so fast that they could not catch up, and then they found three bodies in the woods. After investigation, the three people who were bitten to death were the dancing girls and waiters in the flower boat of Mingyue Lake, and it happened that the son of Tsubakihara of Cangqiu Country was on the flower boat in the lake, and after hearing about it, he ordered people to escort all the woodcutters up. ”
Duanmu listened silently.
This matter is already very clear, being bitten to death, dying of excessive blood loss, a fox-like woman, it is simply a rumor that points to a while ago, the phoenix lord of the phoenix underworld is a blood-sucking fox spirit.
From the country of Feng Ming to the five countries of Cangqiu country, this person behind the scenes is not small.
He suddenly laughed.
……
Feng Ming Country Inn.
Si Chen was nibbling on a cold melon.
"Your Highness, the cold melon has been chilled with ice, and it hurts a lot." Chang Xi said.
What answered her was the sound of "card rub card cha" when eating melons.
Chang Xi was helpless.
"Has Si Yujin been out lately?" Si Chen finished eating the last piece of cold melon, put down the melon skin, wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief, and asked.
"Nope. Si Yujin neither went out nor interacted with people, and stayed in the post house every day, except for an occasional sit in the courtyard, and sat in the room reading most of the time. ”
"No complaints?"
"I haven't heard him complain to anyone, it's quiet, and if it's not for special attention, it's like he's not there." Chang Xi replied.
Si Chen didn't speak, as if he was in deep thought.
Chang Xi stared at her for a while, and frowned: "If Your Highness is not worried about Si Yujin, why don't you just get rid of him to prevent future troubles." ”
Si Chen shook his head: "I haven't found anyone who can replace him, what he did seems trivial, but it is actually very important, and he has done a good job, replacing another person is risky for Feng Yingguo." Besides, now is not a special period that can be killed if it is not pleasing to the eye, what the current Phoenix Underworld needs is stability and stability, and it is too hasty to kill it if it is not pleasing to the eye in this period. The Phoenix Kingdom needs many capable people, and I can't support this country alone. ”
Chang Xi looked at her.
Is it because she has grown up or is it because her current identity is different, if she was fourteen or fifteen years old, Her Highness would not have said such a thing, at that time, Her Highness could destroy a country for what she hated, even if it would destroy herself at the same time, she didn't care, but now, she is more and more concerned about the future of the Phoenix Netherworld, and for the future of the Phoenix Netherworld, she can calmly do things that contradict her character.
Si Qi walked over and said softly:
"Your Highness, the prince of Cangqiu Kingdom asked to see His Highness, saying that he was ordered by the Empress Dowager Gu, and he wanted to consult His Highness about some things."
Si Chen looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said lightly, "Let him in." ”
Soon, Si Qi lured in a young man with red lips and white teeth.
Tsubakihara's real name is Wu Heng, he is the twentieth brother of the late Emperor Cangqiu, and his mother was born in the Gu family, and he is also related to the Empress Dowager Gu. Tsubakihara's son was titled King Yu, and Tsubakihara was his nickname.
Tsubakihara is less than twenty years old, younger than the sons of the late Emperor Cangqiu, his biological mother died early, and the age gap makes Emperor Cangqiu basically raise him as a son, and Son Tsubakihara has always been a happy idle prince. Because of his increasingly perfect and outstanding appearance, probably last year, he suppressed Shen Run, who had been sitting firmly on the throne of "the first beautiful man" for many years, and became the new first beautiful man.
Tsubakihara has excellent appearance, but he is not a likable boy, and his arrogant and rude demeanor makes Si Chen a little bored.
As soon as they met each other, they politely said a few words, and Tsubakihara Gongzi went straight to the point and explained his intentions.
"This king is here this time because of a murder case that happened yesterday by Mingyue Lake." Tsubakihara said with a smile.
Si Chen didn't like it very much when someone called himself "this king" in front of her.
"What homicide?" Si Chen asked coldly.
"Huh? Don't you know the Phoenix Lord? ”
Poor temptation.
"Should I know?" Si Chen asked in a cold voice, his tone full of impatience.
Tsubakihara Kimiko was a little angry at her unafraid and uncooperative attitude, and his tone intensified, saying:
"At about four o'clock yesterday, two men who were waiting on the flower boat and a woman who was accompanying them on the flower boat were found dead in the dense forest by the Mingyue Lake, and their deaths were miserable. It was confirmed that the blood had been sucked dry by some wild beast and the woodcutters who found the body said that they had seen a woman with fox ears and tail in the dense forest. ”
"Huh."
"Lord Feng is not surprised?"
"Do I have to let you see if I'm surprised?"
Tsubakihara Childe was choked by her hard answer, his face was not very good-looking, he forced a smile and said:
"There is something I want to ask the Phoenix Lord, where is the Phoenix Lord at four o'clock yesterday and what is he doing?"
"Your Royal Highness, who gave you the right to interrogate His Royal Highness Lord Feng?" Chang Xi lowered her face gloomily and asked in a cold voice.
"I'm not interrogating, I'm just asking."
Chang Xi was angry and was about to speak.
"Since yesterday evening, I have been with Emperor Long Xi." Si Chen replied lightly.
Tsubakihara Gongzi was slightly stunned, this answer was not within his expectations, he hurriedly asked:
"May I ask what Lord Feng did with Emperor Long Xi yesterday evening?"
Si Chen hooked his lips, supported his cheeks with one hand, smiled coquettishly, looked at him, and said lazily:
"You can ask him yourself."
Tsubakihara couldn't say a word.
