Chapter 21
Liu Yuyi was calm after all, and after the incident, the shock was only a moment.
"Although I don't know the autopsy stuff, it seems impossible to conclude that she died of a heart disease based on the traces on Princess Qinghe's body."
"Yuyu Liu is right, so if we want to further determine the cause of death, we can only dissect the corpse..."
"No, although my Southern Tang Dynasty is not as powerful as Daliang, my princess is also honorable. The king has always loved Princess Qinghe. This time I came to Daliang to pay homage, but was rejected by the major general. I have no face. People are so ignorant nowadays. It’s dead, and you want to ruin our princess’s body, you big beams, you’re too deceitful!” the maid beside Princess Qinghe yelled.
"Emperor Liang, no matter what, you have to give us Southern Tang an explanation, otherwise..."
The Southern Tang Dynasty has become stronger and stronger in the past few years, and has been somewhat ambiguous with the Nanman in the past few years.If there is a relationship with the Southern Tang Dynasty because of this matter, someone will provoke it.The relationship between Nantang and Daliang is bound to be deeply affected.
To put it more seriously, it will lead to border wars.
"This matter, I will naturally give an explanation to the Emperor of Southern Tang." Emperor Cheng Kang shot at the maid with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "But it's not your turn to be so presumptuous by a little maid!"
"If you have to make an explanation, girl, you are the princess's personal maid, and the princess was with you at the time, but you couldn't explain why, which is also suspicious!" Ah Qing rubbed her chin, looking The little maid's face was pale and white.
"I, I really don't know, the princess fainted suddenly, I..." The little maid was about to cry anxiously.
"Qinglan, the Emperor Liang made his own decision on this matter, and he will not let the princess die in peace." Another maid named Qingying was calm, and dragged Qinglan out of the room who was out of breath from crying.
Cheng Kangdi waved his hand, and all the imperial doctors also retreated.
Only Emperor Cheng Kang, Gu Yan, Ah Qing and Chu Xiao were left in the hall, speechless for a while.
"Well, Mr. Chu, you are also an experienced old master. Why did you conclude so easily that Master Jing'an died of a heart attack, and Princess Qinghe? At first glance, you also suspected that it was a heart attack, right? .” Ah Qing couldn’t hold back anymore.
He had been suspicious since last night.After Chu Xiao inspected the corpse of Monk Jing An, the little master Jing Hui immediately confirmed that Jing An was indeed scheming, so that everyone believed that Jing An died of a sudden heart attack.
As for the attitudes of Guan Chengkangdi and Master Wuming, the two of them must have reached a consensus, not just to protect Chengkangdi's face.
What about Princess Qinghe?
Cheng Kangdi smiled: "You are really a smart ghost. I think the person you sent to the palace should have succeeded by now."
Ah Qing's pupils widened suddenly, what did he mean by this, he knew they sent people to investigate the palace!
"Don't be surprised, if you don't doubt it, it's not you."
Ah Qing was in a hurry: "Wu Chen, you won't give Wu Chen to..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, he will be fine."
"Your Majesty, you know the cause of Monk Jing'an's death." Gu Yan said with certainty.
Emperor Chengkang shook his head: "No, I don't know, but I know that Monk Jing'an has no heart disease."
"No heart disease! Isn't that the same as Princess Qinghe!" Ah Qing said in shock.
"It's the same, it's not the same." Emperor Cheng Kang said cryptically.
Ah Qing curled her lips: "It's not like talking for nothing."
"What the emperor means is that you and Master Wuming probably know why Monk Jing'an died, but Princess Qinghe's death was unexpected." Gu Yan said.
Cheng Kangdi was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, "Yes, and no."
Ah Qing collapsed: "Isn't it still a waste of words!"
"In short, regardless of whether it is true or not, the murderer who killed Princess Qinghe should be found as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nanbianer, I am afraid it will not stop." Gu Yan said in a deep voice.
"Nanbian..." Emperor Cheng Kang squinted his eyes and said, "Chen Qi is guarding Yingcheng now."
"Yes."
Chen Qi is a junior in the branch of the empress's main family.He can also be regarded as the only person in the abolished prince's faction who currently holds military power.
"Well, Chu Xiao, I promoted you to be the minister of the Ministry of Punishment to preside over the case. A Yan will investigate privately, and Chu Xiao will cooperate with you."
"The minister leads the order."
"Then... After talking for a long time, how did Monk Jing'an die?" Ah Qing asked in a daze.
Chu Xiao frowned and said, "It's not sure yet."
"Major General, when we visited the Huguo Temple at night, someone stared at the corpse of Monk Jing'an. I heard from that person that he wanted to see Jing'an's body cremated with his own eyes. From this point of view, there must be something wrong with the corpse. Instead of being helpless, it is better to wait and see."
"If the cause of Princess Qinghe's death is the same as that of Monk Jing'an, then if the secret of the corpse is not to be revealed, someone must touch Princess Qinghe's corpse." Ah Qing said.
"That's right, we only need to keep our defenses tight, but if someone comes, we can follow the vines and find out who is behind the scenes." Chu Xiao echoed.
After some discussion, a few people came up with a direction.However, the group of people waiting outside were about to jump in a hurry.
When Ah Qing and Gu Yan walked out of the hall Shi Shiran, it was already dark.
"These people are really patient." Ah Qing sucked her lips.
"It's a matter of state affairs, so we must pay attention to it."
"Maybe..." Ah Qing lazily leaned on Gu Yan's body.
"A Yan, in public, you have to be careful. You are the major general of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, not a cat or a dog."
Jiayi glared at Ah Qing angrily, then turned her head and said to Emperor Cheng Kang: "Your Majesty, you may not like to hear what I said, but Jiayi still wants to say it. This one named Ah Si cannot stay. He will definitely give it to you." Big beams bring disaster!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe originally came to make a marriage, but General Gu brought this person into the hall openly, which made Princess Qinghe lose face. Now, something happened to the princess again, and you are the one who is afraid of the Major General The marriage with the princess has been completed, and your position has been robbed, and the princess has been assassinated..." Master Li said.
Ah Qing finally understood why Emperor Chengkang wanted Gu Yan to investigate in private. Look, before it happened, these people criticized him.If it is known that Gu Yan is also the presiding judge of this case, it will not overturn the sky.
"Let me tell you, my lord, how did you know that Princess Qinghe was married to General Gu? Did the emperor make a decree? Did the Emperor of Southern Tang speak?" Ah Qing was not annoyed.
"This... but everyone knows that Princess Qinghe loves General Gu..."
"Also, you said that I was afraid of being robbed of my status by Princess Qinghe. You can ask the Major General, does my status mean that I can get it by just grabbing it?"
Ah Qing pinched Gu Yan's waist, Gu Yan's back was stiff, he turned back and took Ah Qing's troublesome little hand, and said with a smile: "A Si's status is irreplaceable."
"Did you see that! Besides, Princess Qinghe has made it clear at the palace banquet that she has withdrawn and won't rob me of the young general. Why should I harm her!"
Ah Qing pinched her waist and tilted her head, looking directly at Master Li.On the contrary, Master Li blushed with embarrassment.
"Okay Ah Si, look at you, Master Li blushed when he saw you." Gu Yan said, pulling Ah Qing behind him, blocking the sight of others with his body.
Mr. Li has lived a long time, and being insulted by such words, this breath is stuck in his throat, and he can't get up or down.
"Li Qing is old and weak, so he should go back to his residence to recuperate." Cheng Kangdi said with a light smile.
This time Master Li finally swallowed his breath.
Everyone didn't dare to say anything when they saw that Emperor Cheng Kang told the elders to go home to retire with one word.
Jiayi couldn't believe it, why Cheng Kangdi, who was always strict, would protect that Ah Si so much.He said he wanted Mr. Li to go home to recuperate, but he was actually using Mr. Li as a warning to himself!Could it be that he was also bewitched by this evildoer!
"I have handed over this matter to Chu Xiao to investigate and deal with it, and I will definitely give an explanation to the Emperor of Southern Tang. You don't need to panic. If there is nothing else, today's banquet will be over."
"I'm really sorry for scaring the envoys."
"Emperor Liang is being polite. Until the case of Princess Nantang is clarified, we will stay in Shangjing. If necessary, we will cooperate with the investigation. I hope Emperor Liang will be at ease." Yeluze, the young prince of Beicang Kingdom, said.
"Thank you, little prince."
A banquet ended in such a hurry.
Ah Qing leaned in the carriage, stretched her waist, and sighed: "Sure enough, there is no such thing as a good banquet! First there is Monk Jing'an, and then there is Princess Qinghe. The causes of death are so strange. Tell me, between the two, Will there be any connection?"
"Princess Qinghe is the most beloved daughter of the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and her biological mother is the ninth lady of the Shangguan family, a wealthy family in Yingcheng."
"Ying City?"
"En." Gu Yan stroked Ah Qing's hair lovingly, a layer of sadness floated in his quiet eyes.
"In the future, if I have a chance, I will take you to Yingcheng."
Although I don't know why Gu Yan said that suddenly, Ah Qing still nodded habitually.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
"My Ah Qing, you are finally back, I thought something happened to you!"
As soon as Ah Qing arrived at the Furong Courtyard, she saw a small cannonball rushing towards her.
Thinking of what Cheng Kangdi said, Ah Qing still had lingering fears in his heart, and hurriedly looked around Wuchen, making sure that nothing happened, and then he was relieved.
"Tell me, what have you found?" Ah Qing said, handing over the cakes packed from the palace banquet.
Wu Chen quickly stuffed two mouthfuls, puffed his cheeks, and said vaguely: "Oh, you said that the monk's body, I found it, it's in the underground darkroom of a side room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The body has already rotted , like a puddle of mud, my God, it's so scary!"
"Rotten?" Ah Qing asked in surprise.
"That's right, the stench in the dark room is overwhelming, the corpses are all..." Wuchen spit out the cakes that hadn't been swallowed, and finally gave Ah Qing a resentful look.
"Ah Qing, why did you ask me to talk about corpses when I was eating? It's all wasted!"
But Ah Qing ignored Wu Chen's complaint, but frowned directly.Although he is not a coworker, it has only been twelve hours since Jing'an died last night, and now it is late spring and early summer, the mornings and evenings are cool, and the daytime is not yet at its hottest.
It also takes a process for the corpse to rot, it is impossible to rot like this in just twelve hours.
"I think, there will be news from Mr. Chu soon." Gu Yan said.
