Chapter 181 A Gift to the Queen
Yu Shengsheng was "forced" to follow Fu Qingyin to perform the autopsy.
There is no need to test it. Suzhuo's condition is not much better than Xianglan's. But although he was tortured, it was not fatal.
Sudho died of poisoning.
When Yu Shengsheng gave his conclusion, Fu Qingyin's face looked unhappy.
"Oh, you're so brave to use poison in front of me."
Fu Qingyin looked at Yu Shengsheng: "If she died, what impact do you think it would have?"
Yu Shengsheng sighed softly: "There is no evidence. Xianglan said that Su Zhuo gave her the beads, but there is no way to prove it."
Fu Qingyin turned the ring on his finger and thought for a moment: "Send the body back to the Queen and ask her to bear with me. I wanted to spare this maid's life for the Queen's sake, but life is worthless and she is seeking death herself."
"yes."
The Red Dragon Guard did it without saying a word. He skillfully brought a straw mat, wrapped Su Zhuo's body in it and left.
Yu Shengsheng clenched his hands tightly, and sweat oozed out of his palms.
The arrogant queen, who was like a goddess in front of her, was mentioned so lightly in Fu Qingyin's mouth, as if she was not worth mentioning at all.
Her heart was beating strongly. If only... she could be like Fu Qingyin.
Fu Qingyin turned around and said in a calm tone: "That's all for today. Go back and have a rest. I'll call you if there's anything else."
"yes."
Yu Shengsheng came back to his senses, turned around and walked away.
As soon as she left, Hei Bai came over with a smile and handed Fu Qingyin two dried green plums.
Fu Qingyin ate it, his mouth full of sour taste, then asked: "What do you want to say?"
Hei Bai whispered, "Master, the princess wants to buy a small courtyard."
Fu Qingyin raised his nose and said, "Hmm?"
"I got it out of Jin Baobao's mouth. That girl is trying to settle the accounts, but she can't figure it out at all."
Fu Qingyin didn't say anything for a while, and Hei Bai came closer: "Master, there is a small courtyard behind the antique shop, how about..."
"No," Fu Qingyin interrupted him, "That place is very important. It's too close to the antique shop. If we wait too long, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be discovered."
Hearing all that, Hei Bai's eyes lit up: "Then how about the one that Manager Song lives in now?"
Fu Qingyin looked at him with a puzzled look: "Where does Shopkeeper Song live?"
"Well, he's an old man, where can't he live? Just look for another place."
Fu Qingyin: “…”
"Why are you so enthusiastic about her? Who saved your life?"
Hei Bai said quickly, "Of course it's my master, but the princess also promised to paint my portrait, so I have to repay her."
"Promise to give you a portrait?" Fu Qingyin's voice was slightly cold.
"Yes," Hei Bai said with great joy, "You said this is easy. We can get it today."
Fu Qingyin laughed briefly - he could get it today, but there was no sign of the copy that was promised to him before!
He thought for a while and said, "Think of a way to get Jin Baobao to buy that half of the courtyard."
The black and white eyes slightly opened: "That half?"
"She bought a house just to avoid the Su Mansion. If she bought somewhere else, the Su family would find out sooner or later. The Su family doesn't dare to investigate there."
Hei Bai nodded: "Master is wise."
"But you have to make it clear to her that the transaction will be completed in half a year."
"Why is that?"
Fu Qingyin's voice was cold: "I still need her to stay in the Su Mansion for some time. The Su family still has some unfinished business."
"……OK."
Hei Bai turned around to do it and met Hao Mengye at the door.
"What's the good news?" Hao Mengye asked.
Hei Bai whispered something in his ear, and Hao Mengye was surprised: "What? How can this be possible?"
Hei Bai was even more surprised than him: "Why not? The master ordered it, so why not?"
"That's not what I meant," Hao Mengye gritted his teeth and took a look inside. "At the beginning, the commander ordered me to help her three times, which was considered a favor, but how many times has it been now?"
"I've helped her more than three times."
"I felt at the beginning that this woman was not simple, so I couldn't let her have contact with the commander..."
Hei Bai looked at him as if he were a fool. Hao Mengye stopped talking, puzzled.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Hei Bai snorted and laughed: "Captain, I finally know why you can't be promoted."
"What promotion? Where else can I go to?" Hao Mengye said angrily.
"You——" Hei Bai pointed his finger, curled his lips and shook his head.
Hao Mengye didn't understand.
Hei Bai walked away humming a tune, thinking to himself that he understood his master's thoughts best, so he was the number one guard beside his master.
Proud and refreshed!
Yu Shengsheng returned to the lounge. Jin Baobao was still calculating, and Nanny Zhou was smiling but saying nothing.
Yu Shengsheng saw her mumbling to herself and snapping her fingers endlessly, and she tried not to laugh at her.
Take out those two paintings and repair them quickly so that you can get the money as soon as possible.
Although buying a small yard would cost a lot of money and would use up all the money she had saved with great difficulty, and it might not even be enough, it would at least be her own place.
If I want to leave Beijing in the future, I can sell it and get money back.
Thinking of this, Yu Shengsheng felt full of motivation.
…
Inside the palace, the queen's headache had just gotten better. She hadn't slept well for a few days, and although she was feeling irritable, she was overwhelmed by sleepiness and her eyelids could no longer hold up.
To her delight, she did not have a nightmare this time.
But it felt like I had just fallen asleep for a short while when I was woken up.
Just as she was about to get angry, the maid quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's the Red Dragon Guards. They said they are here to deliver something under the order of the commander."
The maid secretly complained. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not dare to disturb the queen's rest, but it had to be the Red Dragon Guard...
When the Queen heard this, she wondered if there was any progress in the Prince's case.
"Please come in."
The palace maid hurried to invite them, and soon several Red Dragon Guards came in carrying something.
The queen couldn't see it clearly because of the gauze screen, she only saw it as a long roll.
"What did Commander Fu ask you to give me?"
Upon hearing this, the Red Dragon Guard opened the mat. Immediately, the smell of blood spread and Su Zhuo's body appeared.
Incense was burning in the hall, and the corpse had just been wrapped in a mat, so the fishy smell was light and could not be smelled.
But now it’s different, the strong smell rushes in and fills the air in an instant.
What was more terrifying than the smell was the visual impact. The bloody corpse made it impossible to tell that it was Su Zhuo.
The timid palace maid next to her couldn't help but scream.
The queen was also startled, and she fell into a trance and returned to her dream, haunted by the nightmare.
She held onto the armrests of the chair and managed to stand up without getting startled.
"Empress, the commander said, please bear with me. I wanted to save this maid's life for your sake, but life is worthless, so I'm asking for death."
The queen held her forehead which began to hurt again, and cold sweat instantly broke out.
She couldn't help but scream out in pain, and fainted. The hall was suddenly in chaos.
Within a quarter of an hour, the emperor knew the news.
After listening to Eunuch Wei's report, the emperor paused and chuckled briefly.
"This Qing Yin is really getting more and more outrageous. Well, he is investigating this case in accordance with my order."
"Go and give the queen some supplements, and tell her that her health is the most important thing and she should not hurt herself for a palace maid."
