Chapter 60 Terrible Speculations

Although the tyrant stopped talking, his previous words still left a strong sense of doubt in Anjiu's heart.

Eaten?

What does being eaten mean?

Is it eating literally, or what?

An Jiu felt that it was most likely eaten literally.

After all, the emperor's attitude towards food was very special and strange.

But by whom?

Is there a murderer in this palace who killed the emperor's favorite concubine and ate her?

An Jiu thought of that night in Jinxiu Palace when the tyrant hid under the bed like a little child, looking out with a look of horror. Could it be that he was under the bed when Concubine Chun died, and was he looking at the murderer at that time?

An Jiu's mind is in a mess. If this is true, it would be terrible.

Seeing An Jiu’s pale face, King Jing thought for a moment, seeming to be hesitating whether to tell An Jiu.

An Jiu saw it and shouldn't have asked, but she couldn't help but asked.

"Your Highness, do you want to say something?"

King Jing nodded. He didn't like beating around the bush, but he couldn't keep secrets.

He said: "When your majesty speaks of being eaten, I don't mean being eaten by people, but by rats."

An Jiu was surprised: "Rat?"

"right."

King Jing whispered to her, "Concubine Chun was banished to the cold palace, and later died in an accident. Her body was eaten by rats, and when she was found, she was already unrecognizable and in great disarray..."

At that time, Prince Jing's mother also died. He couldn't accept it for a while so he went to the military camp. Later he heard about it from others.

"Your Majesty was in that room at the time." King Jing sighed, "Don't mention this matter in front of Your Majesty."

"Because he forgot everything, right?" An Jiu asked.

King Jing nodded, looked at the tyrant eating meat and exhaled, "He probably went to look for Concubine Chun that day, but met the murderer, so he hid under the bed and escaped. Because it was the cold palace, the servants didn't care, and no one knew that Concubine Chun had died. He stayed under the bed and watched his mother's body being eaten by rats... After he was rescued, he didn't see any difference. Some people said that he was heartless and didn't care that his mother died, but later everyone found out that he had forgotten everything."

King Jing sneered, full of sarcasm: "Father, and the other people in the palace think it's good that he forgot."

Perhaps to the late emperor and others, the one who died was just a woman in the harem, and that was it, but to Prince Jing and the emperor, she was their mother.

King Jing could never let it go.

However, An Jiu felt that there was something fishy about what King Jing said about Concubine Chun.

Normally, when a child sees his mother in trouble, even if he was frightened and didn't come out, he shouldn't stay there all the time. Moreover, the emperor has a very high IQ, so he should be calmer than other children. It's impossible for him to hide under the bed for three days...

unless……

An Jiu thought of a very scary possibility.

"What did you think of?" King Jing looked at An Jiu. He felt that the little palace maid's expression was wrong.

An Jiu pursed her lips: "I was thinking..."

After a pause, she said, "I am just guessing that the reason why Your Majesty hid under the bed and didn't come out is because the murderer is in the room..."

King Jing was stunned: "What did you say?"

"I mean, maybe the murderer has been in the house all along..."

An Jiu was so frightened by his own thought that he got goose bumps all over his body.

Is it possible?

The murderer killed someone but did not leave the cold palace. "He" watched rats eat Concubine Chun's body, while Concubine Chun's son was hiding under the bed... Did the murderer know about this?

If you don't know, that's fine. If you know...

A seven-year-old child watched his mother die, and then watched his mother's body being eaten by rats...

An Jiu frowned. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable all over and his back went cold.

King Jing's face was solemn.

He looked at An Jiu, his lips trembling: "This..."

He wanted to say it was impossible.

How is that possible?

Can……

How is it impossible?

Maybe that was the case. So under the stimulation of Concubine Chun's body being eaten by rats, and the fact that the murderer had been staying there to intimidate the emperor, the emperor was so shocked that he became like this...

yes.

Why hadn't he thought of it before?

"I think that's the case..." King Jing said affirmatively. He wanted to discuss it with An Jiu. He found that the palace maid in front of him looked ordinary, but very smart. Maybe she could discover something about his mother's death?

However, An Jiu's attention was all on the Tyrant. When she saw that he had finished eating, she ran over and asked the Tyrant with a smile.

“Are you full?”

The tyrant shook his head.

There wasn't much meat on a rabbit, but Anjiu felt that there was no benefit in staying outside any longer. She wanted Tyrant to go back, but he didn't want to and just stared at the dead rabbit.

An Jiu asked someone to roast another one for him. He had picked a lot of wild vegetables in the morning, including a few mushrooms that had escaped the net. An Jiu washed and roasted them all and handed them to the emperor.

"Eat it with mushroom skewers."

The tyrant disliked vegetarian food and his face was full of resistance.

An Jiu coaxed her like a child: "It's delicious, try it."

The naive girl eats instant noodles and lives in a rental house, and I start to feel sorry for the boss who lives in a mansion, drives a luxury car, and has a stomachache when drinking...

An Jiu secretly despised himself.

The tyrant took a reluctant bite, then his eyes widened.

"It's delicious. I want more."

An Jiu gave them all to him.

King Jing saw that there was no problem on their side, so he also organized people to have a barbecue, and the forest was instantly filled with the fragrance.

But because there were so many of them, they didn't dare to get close even if there were prey, and could only watch from outside.

After eating, the Tyrant yawned. An Jiu knew that he took a nap every day, so he said he wanted to go back.

King Jing told her that this was already the edge of the forest and the road was not easy to walk on, so it would take an hour to go back.

An Jiu "..."

The tyrant must have woken up before we got back.

She was not too worried about this as she had so many personal soldiers with her, but she was worried that the emperor would come out after waking up.

She was too lazy to bother.

King Jing was obviously very experienced. He tied a rope between two trees to make a simple hammock, and the tyrant fell asleep soon after lying down on it.

An Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid that the emperor might catch a cold from the evil wind in the forest, so she could only stay by his side...

An unknown amount of time had passed before An Jiu was awakened by a burst of cheers. When she opened her eyes, she saw a group of people gathered together, doing something unknown.

She was the only woman here, and she was too embarrassed to go over, and she also wanted to go to the bathroom.

I took a look at the tyrant's hammock. There was no one in it. It seemed that he had gotten up.

An Jiu tidied her clothes and hair, went to the toilet first, and then asked King Jing's people if there was any water source nearby.

King Jing's guards were very enthusiastic and generous. They told An Jiu that there was a stream not far away and said they could take her there.

An Jiu nodded. The forest was not safe either. If you go there alone and encounter danger, you will be asking for death.

The water source is not far away, and you can hear the laughter from the camp by the water.

An Jiu asked: "What are they laughing at?"

King Jing's men said, "We have hunted down a silver fox."

An Jiu was surprised: "Really? His Royal Highness Prince Jing is really amazing."

King Jing's men explained: "It wasn't the prince, it was His Majesty who caught him."

The word "catch" was used very cleverly. Thinking of the rabbit whose neck was broken in the morning, An Jiu already had an image in his mind.

An Jiu was in a good mood for no reason: "Your Majesty is really amazing."

What’s the use of King Jing’s big physique? He’s a muscular man and it’s obvious that he’s not as flexible as the emperor.

Just like the parents in kindergarten who think their children are smarter than other children...

King Jing's men laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't know your majesty's martial arts were so strong."

An Jiu nodded. If it weren't for this problem, the emperor would definitely be a perfect person, capable of both literature and martial arts, and handsome...

Who will benefit in the future?
