After My Fiance Became a Monk, I Unexpectedly Had a 3-Year-Old Child

With her wedding day approaching, her fiancé, Lu Yun, preferred to shave his head and become a monk rather than marry Qi Yuning. Princess Qi instantly became the laughingstock of Shengjing.

Chapter 35: Finding out the cause of death of my third uncle

Princess Duan couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, "Princess, I lost my composure."

Qi Yuning stood up and said, "Prince Lu needs my help with something, so please, Princess, take care of Lingling for me."

Princess Duan said, "Don't worry, Princess."

After Qi Yuning hurriedly left Prince Duan's villa, he went to find Lu Ze. Upon asking, he learned that Lu Ze had already gone to Prince Duan's tomb.

When Qi Yuning arrived in front of Prince Duan's tomb, he saw Lu Ze and his two guards confronting a group of soldiers.

Qi Yuning knew the leader, a minor general in the Qi Family Army. After withdrawing from the Qi Family Army, no one knew where he went. Unexpectedly, he was guarding the tomb here.

"Greetings to Princess Qi!" Wang Tao knelt down and saluted when he saw Qi Yuning coming.

Qi Yuning said, "No need for such a grand ceremony. Get up."

Seeing Qi Yuning coming, Lu Ze asked, "Do you know him?"

Qi Yuning said, "He was once a general under my father's command. He still came to the palace to pay his respects during festivals these years."

Wang Tao saw Lu Ze standing before him and said, "Prince Lu, this is the important mausoleum of Prince Duan. You are not allowed to enter the mausoleum at all costs. You will disturb Prince Duan's spirit in the underworld."

Lu Ze frowned and said, "Can't I meet my third uncle?"

"Yes, please don't embarrass me, Master Lu."

"What if the Dali Temple is investigating?" Lu Ze said, "Get out of the way."

"What is this for?"

Qi Yuning heard the voice of Princess Duan and saw Princess Duan rushing over. "Prince Lu, Princess, what are you doing?"

Lu Ze bowed to Princess Duan and said, "Aunt, I want to go in and see my uncle."

Princess Duan stood in front of the mausoleum and said, "Your third uncle has been laid to rest. How dare you enter his mausoleum and disturb his peace and tranquility?"

Lu Ze bowed and said, "Aunt, I just want to find out the cause of my uncle's death so that he can truly rest in peace."

Princess Duan, known for her gentleness and quiet demeanor, erupted in curses upon hearing this: "Lu Ze, have you gone mad investigating cases in the Dali Temple? The prince fell into the lotus pond and died. Everyone saw it. What are you still investigating? Get out of here!"

Seeing the usually gentle and good-tempered Princess Duan become so violent, Qi Yuning stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Princess, please believe me and the Crown Prince. We truly have no ill will. The Crown Prince and the Prince are uncle and nephew by blood. We simply want justice for the Prince."

Princess Duan said, "What justice? I don't need justice. Get out of here! As long as I'm here, no one can enter the prince's tomb!"

Seeing this, Lu Ze didn't want to force his way in, because after all, Princess Duan was his third aunt.

Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze, "Let's go. It's almost noon. It will be too late if we don't go back now."

Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning and followed her. "The cause of Prince Duan's death must be very complicated."

Qi Yuning said slowly, "When I was talking with Princess Duan just now, I found out that Princess Duan was certain that Princess Shan had died tragically."

Lu Ze said, "Let's pretend to leave and come back to investigate at midnight."

Qi Yuning: "Does it have to be midnight?"

Lu Ze listened to Qi Yuning's words and said, "Third Aunt is here, so we shouldn't rush in to investigate. Wait until midnight, when my secret guards have Wang Tao and the others under control. Only then will Third Aunt not rush over so quickly."
