Receiving Nan Yijun's suspicious look, Prime Minister Wan immediately shut his mouth, glared at Chu Feiyang with hatred in his eyes, and then turned his attention to Lord Lu's family and stopped talking!
Seeing that Prime Minister Wan had quieted down, Nan Yijun glanced at the few people kneeling on the ground. Seeing that they were dressed neatly and in mourning, it was no wonder that Chu Feiyang had such doubts! How could an ordinary family always prepare such things for funerals? It was as if they knew that something was going to happen to their master. It was really strange!
But since they had already approached Chu Feiyang, both sides naturally had to resolve the matter! Moreover, so many people in Nanxun saw that it was Lu Xin's guards who killed Lord Lu. Even if Chu Feiyang deliberately picked on them to protect Lu Xin, it would not change Nanxun's determination to punish Lu Xin!
Thinking of this, Nan Yijun withdrew his gaze from the group of orphans, turned calmly to Chu Feiyang, and slowly said, "This king also just received the news! Although Lord Lu is only a fourth-rank official, he is also an official of our Nanxun. Moreover, the two countries are still in the period of peace talks. General Hu Wei's guards are already so arrogant and domineering. Don't they look down on Nanxun? The King of Chu once wanted to let such people garrison Nanxun. Doesn't he care about the lives of the people of Nanxun? However, it is too early to say these things now. Since Your Highness wants to know the ins and outs of the matter, This king has also brought the madam of the Changchun Tower, the eunuchs, and the servants around Lord Lu here. If you have any questions, Your Highness, please feel free to ask them!"
Prime Minister Wan was stunned when he heard this. He then looked up at Nan Yijun and said dissatisfiedly, "Your Highness, the facts are already before us. Why do we need to interrogate him again? The body of Lord Lu is still lying in the Changchun Tower!"
After he finished speaking, Prime Minister Wan suddenly felt two sharp eyes shooting at him. When he recovered from those two extremely cold gazes, he found that Chu Feiyang's face was calm, and his eyes were just staring straight ahead with a cold look. After listening to his objection, he just said lightly, "What are you talking about, Prime Minister Wan? Even if it means killing someone, you must let this king know the whole story! Otherwise, this king will not be able to explain to my emperor when he returns to Kyoto! What's more, this king admires him very much. Now that Nanxun is in trouble, Lord Lu still has the mind to wander around the brothel, without any thoughts of the country. And the two of you actually mobilized so many officers and soldiers to come to the post station for such an official. You really have a deep affection for him!"
Nan Yijun's expression suddenly turned ugly after hearing the insinuation, and Prime Minister Wan's face was also a little embarrassed. He could only cover up his awkward expression by drinking tea, so as not to be entangled by Chu Feiyang's sharp tongue again!
"Someone, bring up the madam of Changchunlou, Ying'er, the eunuch, and Lord Lu's servant!" Seeing that Prime Minister Wan avoided Chu Feiyang's questions, Nan Yijun could only speak to change the subject!
After a while, two guards came in, leading the charming and scantily clad Ying'er, the old brothel owner dressed in red and green, and the hunchbacked eunuch. The young boy in his twenties walking at the back must be the servant of Lord Lu!
"Your humble servants pay their respects to all the princes and lords!" The three of them stood beside the Lu family, and then knelt down towards Chu Feiyang and the other three!
"What happened in Changchunlou tonight?" Chu Feiyang glanced at the four people casually, then picked up the teacup and spoke very casually!
"Who are you?" Chu Feiyang rarely appeared in front of the people of Nanxun after entering Nanxun. No wonder the four people in front of him didn't recognize him!
Especially at this time, although Chu Feiyang had a handsome and noble face, he was only wearing a half-new crescent-shaped white robe. This made the old procuress and Ying'er a little puzzled. They didn't understand who this handsome young man in front of them was. They even boldly stared at Chu Feiyang, as if trying to dig out his identity!
Seeing the puzzled looks in the eyes of the madam and Ying'er, Prime Minister Wan immediately put down the teacup in his hand and wanted to speak, but he didn't expect Chu Feiyang to beat him to the punch!
"Regent, I didn't expect that before I interrogate the madam, I have to introduce myself first!" Seeing that Prime Minister Wan wanted to remind the madam, Chu Feiyang immediately spoke to Nan Yijun!
This caused Nan Yijun to frown slightly, his expression suddenly becoming solemn. He whispered to the madam, "How can you question the King of Chu? Answer the Prince's questions now!"
Seeing the stern look on the Regent's face, the madam dared not be presumptuous. However, she also received the message she wanted. She immediately lowered her head and whispered, "Today, General Hu Wei led his guards into the Changchun Tower to have fun! But the Changchun Tower had not yet started to receive customers, so I had someone lead General Hu Wei into the side room to drink. After a while, General Hu Wei's guards came out to find me and said that the general wanted Miss Ying'er to serve him! But Your Highness, although this brothel is a lowly place, it also has its rules. The girls can only receive customers at the hour of You. How could I break the rules of the brothel? So I persuaded the official to leave with kind words! But I didn't expect that the official to return to the side room angrily. In the blink of an eye, I saw the general coming towards me with a long sword in his hand. Your Highness, look, my clothes were indeed cut by General Hu Wei!"
"Yes, Your Highness, that official was so rude that he pinched Ying'er's wrist until it turned red. Look, Your Highness!" At this time, Ying'er also spoke, but there was ambition in her eyes as she looked at Chu Feiyang!
After he finished speaking, he saw the madam and Ying'er actually kneeling in front of Chu Feiyang. They straightened their upper bodies, stretched out their necks and wrists, wanting Chu Feiyang to see their injuries clearly!
"It's strange that the madam and the girls in this brothel are so bold! Don't they know that the people sitting in front of them are two princes and a prime minister? They behave so frivolously. Do you think this inn is a singing house where you can do whatever you want?" Unexpectedly, at this moment, a clear but cold voice came from the entrance of the backyard!
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this. Chu Feiyang stood up without even looking at the madam and walked towards Yun Qianmeng who was slowly entering. Seeing that she was neatly dressed and her slightly cold eyes contained a hint of anger, he asked with concern, "Why are you still out so late? Be careful not to catch a cold!"
Yun Qianmeng's beautiful eyes, rippling in the candlelight yet concealing a profound ice, swept across everyone present. Then, she sneered, "The Prince Regent and Prime Minister Wan are personally visiting the inn. Naturally, I have to come out and greet them, lest I be impolite!"
"Princess, you are joking! The prince and I came here to discuss important matters with the King of Chu, and we didn't want to disturb your peace!" When Prime Minister Wan saw Yun Qianmeng coming out, he remembered the loss that Nan Lan had suffered at the hands of the Princess of Chu, so he immediately stood up and said with a smile, but he became more cautious in his heart!
"The Regent will not blame me for coming uninvited, right?" Yun Qianmeng's gaze was directed at Nan Yijun who was sitting silently beside her, and her tone of voice was unusually firm!
"It was me and Prime Minister Wan who came uninvited to disturb the King of Chu and the Princess. How can you blame the Princess? Please take a seat, Princess!" Nan Yijun put down his hand holding the tea and continued Yun Qianmeng's words, but the caution in his eyes still did not fade. After what happened before, he was also extremely wary of the Princess of Chu. How could someone as smart as the Princess of Chu appear in such an occasion for no reason?
Yun Qianmeng didn't hesitate to nod to Nan Yijun, then sat down with Chu Feiyang. She then looked at the madam who was clutching her clothes and thinking about what Chu Feiyang had seen clearly, and couldn't help but sneered, "Yingqiu, check this madam's neck to see if she has any injuries!"
"Yes, Princess!" Upon hearing this, Yingqiu and Muchun stepped forward at the same time. When the madam was still trying to resist, Yingqiu gave Muchun a look, and Muchun immediately grabbed the madam's struggling hands. Yingqiu unexpectedly found the madam's meridians and gently flicked them. The madam's arms suddenly felt numb and she became a little powerless. The two maids took the opportunity to check her neck, which was wrapped in her clothes. Then they turned to report to Yun Qianmeng, "Princess, the madam's neck was scratched by a blade! But the wound is not big, not fatal. Apply ointment and it will scab over in a few days!"
Yingqiu then turned her gaze towards Ying'er. She quickly grasped her wrist, turned it over, and carefully pinched it for a moment before cautiously replying, "Princess, there are some bruises on Ying'er's wrist, but the bones are intact. They will disappear in two or three days!"
Seeing Yingqiu's answer, Yun Qianmeng nodded to the two of them and gestured for them to return to her side. When Yingqiu returned to Yun Qianmeng's side, she whispered something very quietly in her ear. Then, Yun Qianmeng spoke again, "Since you're not seriously injured, then continue! The Regent and Prime Minister Wan are busy with all sorts of affairs. How can they allow you, a brothel madam, to waste their time here?"
The words did not mention himself and Chu Feiyang at all, but directed the spearhead to Nan Yijun and Prime Minister Wan. After Yun Qianmeng said this, she just took the hot tea handed by Mu Chun and took a sip gently. Her half-closed eyes concealed the excessive intelligence in her eyes, but it made the old procuress's heart tremble. She stared at the unusually beautiful Princess Chu and dared not neglect it anymore. She quickly retreated to her previous position with Ying'er and spoke again, "I thought I was dead this time, so I tried to reason with General Hu Wei! I told the general that Changchunlou accepts guests at twilight hour, and Asking him to wait for a moment, General Hu Wei agreed and then turned back to his room! Unexpectedly, when it was evening, when I was leading Lord Lu to Miss Ying'er's room, General Hu Wei's guard suddenly rushed out, grabbed Ying'er by the waist and carried her away on his shoulders. Lord Lu refused and stood in front of the guard, but he didn't expect that the guard was so arrogant and unreasonable. He actually attacked Lord Lu with a long sword and knocked him down from the third floor to the first floor. When the turtle slave wanted to help Lord Lu up, he found that he was already dead!
"Slave, is what the madam said true?" After the madam finished telling the whole story, Prime Minister Wan immediately asked, and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, making an extremely crisp sound. His official majesty made the people kneeling in the front hall tremble slightly!
It’s a pity that such official power is not enough to catch the eyes of Chu Feiyang and others. Everyone present is in a high position and has great power. Who would take Prime Minister Wan’s power seriously?
"Yes, yes, yes! Everything our lady boss said is true! The noise on the third floor was so loud that even the girls on the first floor could see it clearly! Lord Lu just wanted the guard to let go of Miss Ying'er, but he didn't expect that the official was so cruel and ruthless that he wanted to kill Lord Lu!" The eunuch had never seen so many big shots before, so his voice trembled slightly, but he still answered Prime Minister Wan's questions completely!
"What about you? Where were you when your master went to look for Miss Ying'er?" Yun Qianmeng placed one hand lightly on the table, and her slender white fingers slowly slid along the smooth surface of the teacup. Her voice was clear and gentle, exuding a gentle breath like a piece of fine white jade, completely different from the sharpness when she came out just now!
"In reply to the princess, I was left on the first floor by my master. I was chatting with this elf slave, but I didn't expect that my master would be murdered!" As he said this, the servant lowered his head and cried softly!
"Please, Your Highness, please make a decision for my master! Although you two are not the Prince and Princess of Nanxun, your Highness and Princess must care about the people, which is why they inquired about this matter carefully! Now that the truth has been revealed, please, Your Highness and Princess, make a fair judgment and give an explanation to my master!" At this time, the wife of the Lu family began to cry out for injustice again. She was crying and sobbing with determination, which was really moving. Even the many soldiers standing outside the inn were angry after hearing her crying!
"Princess, what else do you have to say? The witnesses are all here. Are you still planning to protect General Hu Wei?" Seeing the wife of the Lu family crying, he couldn't help but nodded at her with a sympathetic heart, and then shot his sharp eyes at Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang!
However, Chu Feiyang stopped talking after Yun Qianmeng came out, knowing that this matter would be easier to resolve if Meng'er came forward!
After all, the King of Chu represents Western Chu at this time. If he delays this matter, he will be suspected of shielding Lu Xin!
The Princess of Chu was only a lady of the inner court. She judged cases with a girl's perspective. Because of her noble status, even if Prime Minister Wan and Nan Yijun wanted to stop them, they would need to find a reasonable excuse. So it would be better to leave it to Meng'er! Besides, having Meng'er stay at the inn all these days was really boring to her!
How could Yun Qianmeng not understand Chu Feiyang's thoughts? However, there was still a hint of anger in her eyes when she turned to him. If she had not appeared immediately, Ying'er's claws would have touched Chu Feiyang's arm. It was a blessing that he could sit still!
Thinking of this, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but pursed her red lips. The dimple on her right cheek was faintly visible, and her unique beauty added a touch of moving charm to Yun Qianmeng!
"Prime Minister Wan mentioned witnesses, but General Hu Wei and the guard aren't involved! Since we're in court, we can't just listen to one side of the story! Regent, don't you agree? Even if the guard was truly at fault, we should hear his side of the story to avoid wrongfully accusing him! Otherwise, how will our prince report his position to the emperor when he returns to the capital?"
Nan Yijun had long anticipated that the couple would not give in so easily, so he frowned slightly and said in embarrassment, "Your Highness is absolutely right! However, General Hu Wei and the guards, after seeing Lord Lu was killed, have actually stayed by his side, determined to stop this matter. They have also not allowed me to approach the guards, and now the two sides are at a stalemate! I came here in the hope that the King of Chu can persuade General Hu Wei to stop being so arrogant. Are you also not going to allow the Lu family to carry away their master's body?"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang looked at each other. It seemed that Lu Xin was not too stupid. He knew that he had fallen into someone's trap, so he guarded the body and refused to let anyone move it away. Otherwise, he would be charged with condoning his men to kill people. Since this matter had become known to everyone, it was likely to have aroused the anger of the people in Nanxun, and it was hopeless to resolve it privately!
"Your Highness, since we are in charge of this matter, we must make it clear. We must give an explanation to the Lu family. Even if we are in the wrong, we must know clearly. Otherwise, how can we explain to the emperor in a confused manner? What's more, the madam just said that General Hu Wei came downstairs to argue with her with a sword in his hand. Yingqiu has just checked and the madam's life is safe! This also shows that General Hu Wei still has a sense of propriety and knows that matters concerning human life cannot be touched! Although his guards were rude when they forcibly took Ying'er away, But Ying'er wasn't hurt! This is enough to show that the two of them are also very cautious about matters of life and death. Even in anger, they didn't do anything too extreme! So, to be on the safe side, let's go to Changchunlou and don't let General Hu Wei get wronged and chill his heart! "Yun Qianmeng spoke slowly, her voice was clear and soft, but it carried an irresistible firmness. Especially when her calm eyes glanced at the madam and Ying'er, the two of them immediately felt nervous and quickly lowered their expressions, not daring to look at Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng's words seemed to be directed at Chu Feiyang, but they were actually meant for Nan Yijun and Prime Minister Wan to hear, so that they would understand that even if the incident happened suddenly, she and Chu Feiyang would not be fooled by these petty tricks!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng so confident, Chu Feiyang knew that she must have a plan in mind. His thin lips curled up slightly, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yun Qianmeng. He then said, "Xi Lin, prepare the car! The prince and the princess will go to the Changchun Tower in person!"
Seeing that the Princess of Chu was not afraid of damaging her reputation and was going in and out of the brothel, Nan Yijun's eyes flashed with a strange look, but Prime Minister Wan beside him had already spoken to stop her, "Princess, the Changchun Tower is where the prostitutes live. You are of noble status, how can you set foot there?"
Yun Qianmeng, however, stood up with Chu Feiyang, smiling faintly, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern! This time, I have my husband by my side, and we are accompanied by the Regent and Prime Minister Wan. We are also going on business, so I believe no one will misunderstand us! Instead of worrying about these trivial matters, why not hurry to the Changchun Tower and not let Lord Lu's body lie on the cold ground!"
After he finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang were the first to step out of the inn together, and Xi Lin happened to drive the carriage to the gate of the inn himself. Yingqiu and Muchun quickly took out the stool outside the carriage and placed it on the ground. The two of them carefully helped Yun Qianmeng into the carriage. After Chu Feiyang got in, they got on the carriage one after another!
Nan Yijun didn't stand up immediately. Instead, he glared at Prime Minister Wan and said in a low but stern voice, "This king also wants to know who is the mastermind behind this!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wan's face darkened, his eyes gleaming with venom. He then retorted, "If Your Highness can stop the King of Chu from devouring Nanxun, I'm not willing to clean up the mess for Your Highness! Come, take these people to the Changchun Tower!"
After saying that, Prime Minister Wan threw his sleeves vigorously, then turned around and walked out of the inn!
After running all the way to this place of fireworks, Yun Qianmeng smelled a strong scent of perfume before even opening the curtain of the car, which made her laugh softly!
"Why are you happy alone?" Seeing her sweet smile, Chu Feiyang couldn't help but stretch out his long arms and gently embrace her in his arms, to prevent any drunkard from bumping into the carriage and causing it to shake and fall Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng shook her head and then said with a smile, "I remember that time I took Qi Jinghan to the brothel. Look at how embarrassed he looked!"
"Isn't his appearance your masterpiece?" Seeing Yun Qianmeng so happy, Chu Feiyang was also in a good mood. He hugged her gently, but his heart was extremely fulfilled. Thinking of how naughty she was at that time, Chu Feiyang's heart was also filled with pity!
"If he was as smart as Qi Jingyuan, he wouldn't have chosen my carriage!" Yun Qianmeng shook her head. Stupid Qi Jinghan, there were so many carriages entering the palace, but he chose my carriage instead. He deserved to be teased by me and put under house arrest by Chu Feiyang!
However, everything in the world is arranged by fate. If Qi Jinghan had not accidentally entered his carriage, there would not have been a series of encounters afterwards, and he would not have cleared Qu Changqing of the charge of treason so quickly!
Chu Feiyang gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of love, but in his heart he was grieving for Qi Jinghan at that time. He had offended Meng'er, and he could only blame Qi Jinghan for not wearing glasses when he went out!
"Your Highness, we're here!" While the two were whispering to each other, Mu Chun knocked lightly on the outer wall of the car and stood outside the car to remind the two people inside!
The two men slightly put away the idle smiles on their faces and walked out of the carriage!
Although the Land of Fireworks is not entirely filled with flowers, the scent of powder floating in the sky makes it worthy of the name!
The rich smell made Yun Qianmeng frown slightly. Looking at the particles floating in the air, she knew that there must be quite a few brothels gathered here. With her eyes half-closed, she walked towards the brothel whose entrance was blocked by countless people...
"He's still so arrogant even after killing someone. This General Huwei of Western Chu really deserves to be killed!"
"That's right. The one who died was Lord Lu, an official appointed by the court in Nanxun. I'm sure the Regent will not let Lu Xin go!"
"Don't forget, the King of Western Chu is in Nanxun now. How could he allow General Hu Wei to be killed by us? I think the King of Chu will definitely show favoritism!"
Before they even entered the largest singing house, the onlookers couldn't wait to start discussing. Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang heard everything as they walked along. It seemed that in the hearts of the people of Nanxun, they had already determined that it was Lu Xin who killed Lord Lu!
Xi Lin and others who followed behind the two of them also frowned, looking at the prince and princess in front of them with some worry!
"Make way! The King of Chu and the Queen of Chu are here!" Prime Minister Wan rushed up from behind, commanding the guards beside him to drive away the onlookers, and loudly announced the identities of Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng!
Everyone looked at Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng in surprise. Although they made way for them, the anger on their faces was obvious!
Chu Feiyang ignored Yun Qianmeng and walked into the bright and sunny Changchun Building. There was no singing and dancing inside. What caught his eyes was the stalemate between the Western Chu guards led by Lu Xin and the Nanxun guards. What both sides were fighting for was Lord Lu who was lying on the ground and had no breath!
"Your humble servant greets the prince and princess!" Seeing the arrival of Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng, a hint of surprise flashed across Lu Xin's face, and then he bowed to Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng!
Seeing Lu Xin's righteous look, Chu Feiyang patted Yun Qianmeng's hand, leaving her where she was. He then stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Seeing Chu Feiyang asking, not only did Nan Yijun and Prime Minister Wan walk in through the gate of Changchunlou, but even the madam and others who had just been taken away also came back in, and this time there were a few more people in mourning. Lu Xin knew that the matter must have been brought to Chu Feiyang's attention!
However, the first words Chu Feiyang said were not a scolding but a question. It seemed that there was still room for improvement!
This instantly made Lu Xin much more obedient, and he answered Chu Feiyang's question honestly, "I just came to the brothel to relax, but I didn't expect something like this to happen! It's my fault that I caused the prince and princess to come here!"
Yun Qianmeng saw that Lu Xin was well-behaved this time, answering all the questions without hesitation. She walked forward with Yingqiu and said calmly, "The madam of Changchunlou has just explained the whole story in detail. This concubine and the prince were a little confused. If General Lu doesn't mind, please repeat it again!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng spoke slowly and with a calm expression, Lu Xin gave him a chance to defend himself. Moreover, ever since Chu Feiyang, Nan Yijun and the others came in, all the shouting and cursing in the Changchun Tower had stopped. If he spoke up for himself now, perhaps others would be able to hear him!
Thinking of this, Lu Xin immediately recalled everything that had just happened, and then slowly began to recount what had happened, which was almost identical to what the madam had said!
The only difference is that Lu Xin kept emphasizing that his guards did not kill anyone, but when it came to the mouths of the madam and others, it became intentional murder!
"Princess, do you have any other questions? What General Hu Wei said just now is almost the same as what the madam said. Does Princess still suspect that the madam and others are framing General Hu Wei?" Prime Minister Wan spoke loudly immediately after hearing what Lu Xin said!
His words instantly ignited everyone's anger. Even the clients who had been watching the excitement from upstairs started to curse at Lu Xin loudly...
"He was clearly the one who killed someone, yet he still refuses to admit it. Is the general of Western Chu really that shameless?"
"I never thought Xi Chu would deny it like this! I, Nan Xun, actually negotiated with such a villain. It's truly shameful!"
"Punish General Hu Wei severely! Killing someone means paying with your life!" Someone shouted "Killing someone means paying with your life", and all the others followed suit and shouted loudly. The situation suddenly turned to Nan Xun's favor!
Seeing that Prime Minister Wan was deliberately taking advantage of his misfortune, Lu Xin was immediately furious. Taking advantage of Chu Feiyang's presence, he let go of his previous concerns and roared at everyone, "Nonsense! This general has been marching and fighting for so many years, and he still doesn't bother to draw his sword in your Nanxun!"
"But General Hu Wei drew his sword against the madam of the Changchunlou! He even hurt her! Even the King of Chu and his wife knew about this!" Unexpectedly, Nan Yijun raised his hand slightly and immediately took control of the situation. He then stared coldly at the arrogant Lu Xin and spoke calmly!
Hearing this, Lu Xin immediately raised his eyebrows, stared at Nan Yijun with wide eyes, and shouted, "General, I didn't hurt her! The sword only scratched her clothes, but didn't hurt her at all!"
However, Lu Xin was so arrogant and rude that even his reasons became unreasonable. Especially since the target of his anger was the Regent of Nanxun, he further aroused the anger of the people. The louder and louder curses filled the Changchun Tower and did not dissipate for a long time!
At this time, Yun Qianmeng nodded to Yingqiu, and the two of them walked towards Lord Lu together. They saw that his face was extremely dark yellow, and he had no obvious scars after rolling down from the third floor. Presumably, the guard just wanted to brush him away, but he didn't expect that he would slip and roll down the stairs, which led to the tragedy!
"Have you found anything?" Yun Qianmeng couldn't determine the real cause of Lord Lu's death just by looking at his expression, so she asked Yingqiu in a low voice!
Yingqiu also shook her head. Even if she was a genius doctor, she probably couldn't tell the cause of death from the dead person's face with the naked eye. "Princess, it seems we can only ask for a coroner. I am willing to examine it together with Nanxun's coroner!"
Seeing Yingqiu's seriousness, Yun Qianmeng pondered for a moment before nodding cautiously. She then turned and spoke seriously to Nan Yijun, "Prince Regent, now that both sides are at a stalemate, let's ask the coroner to perform an autopsy! The maidservant by my side is also proficient in medicine. Working together, I'm sure we can uncover the cause of Lord Lu's death!"
"No!" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu, who was originally standing in the distance, suddenly rushed towards the body of Mr. Lu, but was stopped by Xi Lin!
"Why not? Madam Lu, you can't just find someone to pay for Lord Lu's death! Even if General Huwei's guards are really the murderers, we still have to follow the procedures to conduct an autopsy. Once the coroner and Yingqiu give their answers and confirm that there is really no problem, then the princess and the prince will no longer interfere in this matter!" Yun Qianmeng glanced at Lu Xin's gradually complacent face, and said something ambiguous, not letting Nan Xun take advantage of the situation, nor letting Lu Xin be complacent!
"No! Princess, my master has already died a violent death. How can we let his body be autopsied again before it is cold? Isn't this too cruel? Even if Princess wants to protect General Hu Wei, she cannot torture my master like this! What's more, General Hu Wei and the madam said almost the same thing just now. Why don't you believe it, Princess? Why do you still want to bully us, an orphan and a widow?" But Mrs. Lu's attitude was very tough. Even when she was stopped by Xi Lin, she did not give in!
"Mom... Dad..." At this moment, the children who were originally standing in the distance rushed to Mrs. Lu's side, crying miserably...
For a moment, Mrs. Lu immediately gained everyone's sympathy, and everyone almost turned their hateful gazes to Yun Qianmeng!
However, the more Madam Lu tried to stop them, the more she suspected something was fishy going on. Yun Qianmeng sneered as she looked around at the people who were criticizing her. Then, she said coldly, "If Madam is unwilling to perform an autopsy, then the prince and I will take General Hu Wei away! Both sides should act as if nothing happened! After all, we can't let General Hu Wei die in vain! Everything should be done with reason. If Madam can't convince us, we naturally can't blindly hand over Lu Xin!"
Seeing the Princess of Chu's forceful words, Madam Lu paused to wipe her tears. She felt lost, unsure of her next move. She glanced at Yun Qianmeng, hoping her words were just a scare. But when she saw the Prince of Chu standing steadily behind the Princess, like a mountain offering support, Madam Lu panicked, her eyes subconsciously searching for Prime Minister Wan...
"Since the princess has said so, then I will respect her! Someone, go and ask the coroner to come!" Nan Yijun saw that Madam Lu was gradually showing signs of her behavior under the attack of Princess Chu. Although he despised Prime Minister Wan's actions in his heart, he could only cover for him. He immediately spoke and asked the guards to go and ask the coroner!
"Since the Regent has decided this, why not move Lord Lu's body into the nearest room, and we can wait for the results from the coroner and Yingqiu!" Yun Qianmeng couldn't be allowed to come forward, so Chu Feiyang spoke at the right time. His low and cold voice showed everyone his decisive style of doing things. Without waiting for Nan Yijun to speak, Xi Lin turned around and walked towards Lord Lu!
Prime Minister Wan immediately gave a wink to his guard, who immediately stepped forward and together with Xi Lin moved Lord Lu away from the spot!
Lu Xin led Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng upstairs and walked into the room he had just stayed in. The three of them sat down in turn!
Nan Yijun also followed. As for Prime Minister Wan, he glared at Madam Lu and followed Nan Yijun into the side room!
The room was quiet, and everyone was patiently waiting for the final result!
However, Prime Minister Wan frequently glanced at the situation outside and said with some concern, "Prince Chu and Princess, have you ever considered that if the autopsy shows that it was indeed General Hu Wei's men who killed Lord Lu, I'm afraid that the prince and princess will not be able to leave this singing house today!"
"This general didn't hurt anyone, and my guards didn't kill anyone!" Before Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng could speak, Lu Xin said in a cold voice. The firmness in his tone was unprecedented and even tougher than when he was in the chaotic lobby just now!
"Prime Minister Wan, you'd better worry. What if Changchunlou and the Lu family have joined forces to frame General Xichu? How will Nanxun explain to Xichu?" Compared to Lu Xin's eagerness to exonerate himself, Chu Feiyang was much calmer and calmer!
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wan closed his mouth in boredom. The knuckles of his fingers holding the teacup turned slightly white, and his brows were slightly furrowed as if he was thinking about Chu Feiyang's question just now!
The room became quiet again. Without the provocateur, everyone sipped their tea quietly with a relaxed look, as if they were not affected by this incident!
"Your Highness!" An hour later, Shilin led Yingqiu and Nanxun's coroner into the wing room!
"Bring everyone else in!" Before the final results were announced, Chu Feiyang had Xi Lin call Mrs. Lu, the madam, and the others into the room. After everyone was present, he asked, "What's the conclusion?"
The coroner seemed extremely anxious, and before Yingqiu could speak, he said, "Your Highness, Lord Lu did die from rolling down the stairs!"
After he said this, Mrs. Lu's expression was obviously relieved, and the wrinkles between Prime Minister Wan's brows also became much shallower, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes when he looked at Lu Xin!
"Yingqiu, what do you think?" Yun Qianmeng's gaze was always on Yingqiu. After the coroner finished speaking, she began to ask Yingqiu!
"In reply to the princess! Lord Lu did die because he rolled down the third floor! But the cause of death was not just because he rolled down the stairs! When I performed the autopsy just now, I found that Lord Lu had heart palpitations, and this disease is the most intolerant to stimulation or violent movements! This is why Lord Lu's face is dark yellow! To put it bluntly, if Lord Lu had sex with Ying'er, I'm afraid his heart would not be able to bear it, and he would most likely die in Ying'er's bed!"
