Chapter 452: Favoring One Over the Other
There seemed to be a faint smell of fire and medicine all around, but the soldiers guarding the three corpses suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what is that?!"
Xia Qianwei came back to her senses at this time, she followed Mu Yuan and surrounded her, only to see the three people on the ground who had already lost their breath with strange movements and strange eyes, lying there stiffly, their lips were blue and their cheeks were sunken, and they looked like they were wrapped around something terrible, and they had to be desperately trying to break free before they died.
Looking in the direction of one of the soldiers' fingers, a scaly patch of moss appeared faintly on their neckline, which was difficult to spot unless you looked closely.
"It's weird, I haven't yet. ”
I don't know who muttered, but everyone looked in the direction of Mu Longyuan in tacit understanding.
They knew that His Royal Highness the King of Youwang was well-informed, and he had traveled to many countries and killed countless people, so they should have seen this kind of strange appearance.
Mu Longyuan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light, strode forward and leaned down, reaching out and pulling open the collar of one of the corpses, revealing a large area of terrifying skin.
Mu Yuan was also about to inspect it himself, but he heard Xia Qianwei suddenly stop him, "Your Highness beware, it may be poisonous!"
The prince's movements immediately stopped, and then he showed a look of sudden realization, and smiled at Xia Qianwei gratefully and gently, "Thank you for the county lord's reminder, I was negligent." ”
A dissatisfied gaze immediately fell on Xia Qianwei's body, Mu Longyuan withdrew his hand slightly gloomy, snorted faintly, and the Qi guard next to him hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
He wiped his fingers casually a few times, and said sadly, "The prince is delicate and expensive, I'm afraid I can't see such a scene, so it's better to hurry back to the palace in case something goes wrong." ”
That girl did it on purpose, right? Although he wasn't worried about this little poison, Xia Qianwei was so favoritism, which made him very bored.
What's the matter, the prince can't be poisoned, it doesn't matter what he does?
Mu Yuan obviously heard the irony in Mu Longyuan's words, and only felt that King Youyuan was much meaner than before, he glanced deeply at the girl beside him, and replied leisurely, "The prince's words are wrong, in the face of national affairs, this hall has long put life and death out of the way, and today there are such things that are guarded by Yan Youjun, and this palace should be investigated." ”
Everyone looked at Mu Yuan's refusal to back down half a step, and their hearts were very strange, how could His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always been magnanimous, go toe-to-toe with the small-bellied King of Chicken Intestines today?
"Oh, since the prince is so idle, then the cause of their death will be left to the prince's people to investigate. Mu Longyuan motioned for Xia Yihai to leave with a look, in fact, it is the most suitable thing to hand over this matter to the prince, but the Xia family has just escaped, and if something like this happens today, it is inevitable that there will be waves of unsettled.
But she didn't want to at this time, Xia Qianwei stood up and observed the three people on the ground without anyone else, "Your Highness, can you order someone to carry them to the corpse, I want to personally investigate the cause of their death." ”
When Mu Longyuan heard this, a fire broke out in his heart.
Could it be that she is afraid that others will not know that she is loyal to the prince, and she will be robbed of all this dirty work?
But Xia Qianwei has her own plans in her heart, it is precisely because Xia Yihai has just been acquitted that there can be no gossip, these three people died strangely, if they don't find out in person, I am afraid that someone will secretly do something and splash dirty water on Xia Yihai again!
"No! Why, the county lord of Yongle is not afraid of being said to be a thief?"
There seemed to be a bit of warning in Mu Longyuan's tone, which sounded like he was targeting Xia Qianwei, but when he thought that there would inevitably be physical contact if he wanted to perform an autopsy, he felt unbearable.
If a man and a woman are not kissed, is the dead man not a man?
Thinking of this, Mu Longyuan immediately looked in the direction of Mu Yuan, the prince has always paid attention to etiquette, and he should not allow Xia Qianwei to do anything wrong.
"Then it's hard for the county lord. ”
However, Mu Yuan looked deeply at the strange deaths of the three people on the ground, Xia Qianwei never did anything she was not sure of, if she took the initiative to ask Ying, she must have found some useful clues.
Mu Longyuan's heart was blocked, but the girl didn't look at herself from beginning to end, as if he was really some kind of nosy outsider!
Xia Yihai on the side had already seen that something special seemed to have happened between his daughter and King You, and recalled that after they left the palace, the child didn't say a word on the road, and he couldn't help but become more and more worried.
God knows that at this moment, Mu Longyuan has already given birth to the urge to dismantle these three corpses, see how she can test them!
"The stakes are high, county lord, and I will order two more servants to assist you. Mu Yuan stood beside her, and there seemed to be an indescribable tacit understanding between the two.
"Thank you, Your Highness. ”
When Xia Qianwei came back to her senses, Mu Longyuan had already turned around and walked away, although he was relieved in his heart, he still unconsciously looked at the back of the striding away, and he didn't need to think about it to know what kind of expression he was at the moment.
......
It's night.
"Lord Wang, the results of the draw are out, the two-person competition on the horse of the Four Nations Race, which is contested by the prince and the county lord of Yongle. ”
The Qi guards brought the news back from the palace, and it was precisely because the five people participating in the competition had their own merits, so the candidates for the two-person competition had not been decided for a long time, so the prince came up with such a method and decided by drawing lots.
The man standing in the moonlight with his hands in his hands recalled the picture of the two of them looking at each other and smiling this morning, and he couldn't help but feel a thorn in his heart.
The prince wants to be in a group with Xia Qianwei......
"That's how he took care of that girl on behalf of Leng Yuhan?" Mu Longyuan said to himself coldly, the Qi guard's eyes rolled, and he mustered up the courage to speak again, "My subordinates heard that the two servants sent by the prince to assist the county lord are very handsome and talented, plus those three corpses...... That is, there are five men in the same room with the county lord, and the subordinates think it is very inappropriate. ”
There was a click, and there seemed to be a cracking sound all around.
The Qi guards clearly felt that their prince was extremely dangerous and glanced at him, and after a period of silence, the other party pretended to lose his sentence inadvertently, "Then what do you think?"
......
At this moment, in the autopsy room, Xia Qianwei faced the corpse in front of her, which was already crawling with moss, and her heart was already a little solemn.
In the dim candlelight, there was an indescribable fishy smell in the air.
Xia Qianwei put away her thoughts, turned around and picked up the scissors that had been prepared, but she felt that the candlelight flickered slightly, and a faint ambergris fragrance loomed from behind her, her eyes immediately changed, and she turned around in surprise, and sure enough, she saw Mu Longyuan's unbeatably handsome face.
"I heard that you cried and shouted and begged Qi Shao to summon this king, it seems that you know that you are afraid. ”
“......”
