Chapter 204 If You Die, No One Will Care

When Yu Shengsheng saw the face that looked exactly like Xing'er, her mind exploded.

I remembered what Yao Mengchen said.

"She doesn't have a serious illness, she's just pregnant. I would definitely be able to tell if she has a serious illness."

However, the autopsy record clearly stated: The deceased, Xing'er, was suffering from a serious illness and had less than two months to live.

Why do people still die even if they have serious illnesses?

According to previous interrogations, she was forced by the Queen, who was unaware that she had a serious illness and forced her to commit suicide in order to frame Concubine Shu.

Now it seems...

Yu Shengsheng tilted her head to look at the crazy painter on the ground: "Commander, he used to be the painter of Concubine Shu. The maid in this painting looks like Xing'er, but she is not the dead Xing'er."

Fu Qingyin drooped her eyelashes to hide the smile in her eyes, and waved her sleeves to order people to take the painter away.

"He was once a painter in the palace, but not exclusively for Concubine Shu. This man is always scheming and wants to climb up the social ladder. Whenever he goes to Concubine Shu's palace, he does his best."

"He did please Concubine Shu, but he had a bad habit. Every time he returned home, he would repaint the painting he had done that day. He would admire it when he had nothing to do, and occasionally show off some unimportant paintings."

Yu Shengsheng snorted: "He's not that stupid."

"Indeed, if he had used the painting in your hand to show off, he would have died long ago," Fu Qingyin tapped the box with his fingers, "but there is no eternal secret in the world. If Concubine Shu occasionally found out, she would not tolerate him."

"Blind him, and found some paintings in his house and burned them. This box was lucky, because he had previously deposited it in an antique shop."

Some antique shops also do storage business, sealing the boxes and charging a storage fee.

Yu Shengsheng didn't ask in detail which antique shop it was. With the Red Dragon Guard's means, they could find it in any shop, so it didn't matter.

Fu Qingyin pointed at the painting and said, "This palace maid is Xing'er."

Yu Shengsheng raised her eyes to look at him: "That dead one..."

"The one who died was her twin sister," Fu Qingyin explained, "They looked 90% alike, and she was an inconspicuous second-class palace maid, so no one paid any attention to her."

No one noticed what she did every day, no one noticed what she looked like, even if she was replaced one day, no one would know.

Yu Shengsheng felt a little sad: "Then she..."

"She was pregnant, and after the miscarriage, she was not able to recuperate in time. When Imperial Concubine Shu found out, she was already very weak. After asking about the truth, she did not make things too difficult for her. However, because she accidentally bumped into Su Zhuo who was beside the Queen, she was punished."

"After that, he fell ill and died not long after."

"Before she died, Imperial Concubine Shu asked her what her last wish was. She said she wanted to see her sister for the last time, so Imperial Concubine Shu allowed the sisters to meet."

Yu Shengsheng's fingers unconsciously tightened as she looked at the woman in the painting: "It was then that Imperial Concubine Shu discovered that the two sisters were twins."

"Yes," Fu Qingyin nodded, "Twins, identical faces, sometimes there are unexpected surprises."

Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips and said nothing. It was a surprise to Concubine Shu, but not necessarily to these two unfortunate sisters.

Seeing that she was silent, Fu Qingyin looked at her for a long time, his eyes passing over her injured arm.

"What do you think of the prince?"

Not worthy of being a human being, Yu Shengsheng resisted the urge to blurt out, lowered his eyes and said: "The crown prince of a country..."

"No need to sing praises." Fu Qingyin interrupted.

Yu Shengsheng changed the subject: "You are not worthy of your position."

Fu Qingyin raised the corner of his mouth and then retracted it: "Bold."

"Do you feel that," Fu Qingyin thought about the words, "the prince is a little weird."

Yu Shengsheng was puzzled: "What's weird?"

Fu Qingyin wanted to ask, do you often see the prince in the villa, and are you often bullied by him?

But looking at Yu Shengsheng's clear black and white eyes, he never asked.

Seeing that he was silent, Yu Shengsheng didn't ask any more questions, so she whispered, "There seems to be something between the prince... and Su Zhiyi."

"Commander, I didn't say that on purpose because I have a personal grudge against Su Zhiyi."

"I don't think so," Fu Qingyin said softly but firmly, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Yu Shengsheng thought for a moment: "That time Su Zhiyi was thrown out of the back door of the Su Mansion. Although the Su family concealed the news, I always feel that this matter is related to the prince."

"Besides, General Su did not plan to bring Su Zhiyi to the palace banquet this time. It was the crown prince who sent someone to deliver the message and wanted to take her with him. It was also the crown prince who took her away halfway and brought her into the palace."

Fu Qingyin entered the palace early that day and did not care about these things.

When Yu Shengsheng mentioned this, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about something.

Yu Shengsheng blushed slightly and whispered, "As far as I know, the prince has no female companion."

Fu Qingyin glanced at her. She bit her lip and her face turned even paler: "When I was in the other garden..."

"There's no need to talk about the past," Fu Qingyin interrupted her, "I will secretly investigate the Crown Prince's affairs. No matter what, he is still the Crown Prince. You don't need to interfere in matters related to him."

"……yes."

Yu Shengsheng paused for a moment and said, "Commander, is this case closed?"

Fu Qingyin's smile turned cold: "Of course, didn't the emperor say that if someone died in Zhenqiao Tower, there is no need to reply."

"From the moment he said that, these people were already dead."

"Then, should I...go back to the Su Mansion as well?"

Fu Qingyin paused: "You want to go back?"

Yu Shengsheng laughed at himself: "The commander is joking. If I wanted to go back, I wouldn't buy the yard."

"However," Yu Shengsheng looked at him seriously, "I want to make a deal with the commander."

Fu Qingyin was calm and collected: "What deal?"

"The commander just said that the crown prince is the heir to the throne and asked me not to interfere in his affairs, but I am also a citizen of this dynasty. If he becomes the master in the future, it will affect my fate."

"So, I want to go back to the Su Mansion. If the commander wants to investigate something, I can do my best to help. I think Su Zhiyi is a good breakthrough point."

Fu Qingyin frowned slightly and looked at her without saying a word.

Yu Shengsheng thought he doubted her, and continued to express her opinion: "Su Zhiyi has always been hostile to me and wants to kill me. I can go with the flow and find some clues from her."

Fu Qingyin asked calmly: "How do you go with the flow? She wants to kill you, and if you die, that's going with the flow?"

Yu Shengsheng: “…”

She thought for a moment and answered firmly: "If I can make the Su family and Su Zhiyi pay the price, my life is not worth it."

Fu Qingyin: “…”

Yu Shengsheng's eyes were bright, her face was tense, her lips were pursed, and her fists were clenched.

She is serious.

Fu Qingyin's tone became even colder: "Your life is not worth cherishing. How many lives do you have? Are you going to sacrifice your life for those people?"

"Yu Shengsheng, I thought you were a smart person, but now it seems that you are just a fool."

Yu Shengsheng: “Finger…”

"What are you pointing at?" Fu Qingyin stood up, unable to hide his annoyance, "Think about the tragic death of Xing'er and her sister. They are dead, so who cares?"

"If you die, you will be just like them."

“No one cares.”

Fu Qingyin turned away.
