Chapter 430 Corpse

Jiang Zhaorong's eyes were thoughtful. Could it be that he really misjudged it?

But Xiao Yanli must have known about the treasure of the previous dynasty, otherwise he would not have arranged the assassination.

Then he released Song Shiwei now. Could it be that he really couldn't find any clues on her and wanted to let himself do it?

Jiang Zhaorong entered the courtyard with a puzzled look and saw Song Shiwei who was looking at flowers.

Seeing him, Song Shiwei stepped forward and bowed.

The two of them walked into the study one after another, and the door was closed again.

"You also know that the second prince wanted to kill you before. Do you know why he wanted to kill you?"

Jiang Zhaorong did not sit behind the desk, but sat next to Song Shiwei.

Song Shiwei brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago: "Because of the happy event, the Second Prince also asked to marry me in front of the emperor, but he failed, so he took such a cruel action."

"Just for this reason, he wants to kill you? You have no connection with him, why would he ask to marry you in front of the emperor?"

Jiang Zhaorong tapped the table lightly with her fingers. Song Shiwei smiled bitterly: "To be honest with my father, Shiwei doesn't know why the Second Prince asked to marry me. Maybe, to compete with the Sixth Prince."

"But why did he kill me? I guess it's because the Second Prince didn't want the happy event to succeed."

"If the emperor's illness doesn't get better, no one will blame him for the Sixth Prince's filial piety. But if the emperor's illness gets better, then the Sixth Prince will have made a contribution, and the emperor will value him more."

"It's a sure win, but if I die, there will be something to do."

Jiang Zhaorong was not interested in these words. He was only interested in the sentence: "

What do you think?" "The Sixth Prince didn't say much?"

Song Shiwei asked in confusion: "What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Nothing," Jiang Zhaorong sighed: "Let's see when the Sixth Prince comes to visit."

No matter what, he must take advantage of this little time to find out the clues hidden in Song Shiwei!

...

Inside the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Yanli listened to the news from Jiang Zhaorong's mansion and snorted: "Sure enough, he is suspicious."

"Send a message to tell her not to act rashly and observe more. I will come to your house in three days."

"Yes."

One person withdrew and the other stepped forward.

"Master, Ling Zizhong has sent a message saying that the prince, after leaving court, spends his days admiring flowers and walking birds in his mansion. No matter how provoked he is, he has no intention of seeking revenge."

Xiao Yanli was silent, and the subordinate tentatively spoke: "Master, in my opinion, has the prince discovered something?"

"No," Xiao Yanli denied: "The clues have been prepared, and Xiao Lingyu will no longer doubt his identity."

"I think he needs a little help."

Help?

The subordinate was puzzled, and then Xiao Yanli whispered: "Where is the queen's body? Throw it into a mass grave and try to let the prince's men see it."

"Do it secretly. Although the prince's men are stupid, the prince is not."

The subordinate replied yes.

Xiao Yanli rubbed his brows and said, "By the way, how is Mr. Zhang handling it?"

"Feige's letter just arrived in the south, and we haven't started to deal with it yet."

Xiao Yanli sighed and said, "Go down."

...

Two days later, a corpse was lying in the courtyard of the East Palace. Xiao Lingyu came back from court and was walking inside exhausted.

When he saw the corpse, he stopped. "Another assassin? Just throw it to the mass grave, why leave it here?"

He frowned in disgust.

The two people kneeling beside the corpse had distorted faces: "It's not an assassin, this, this is... Your Highness, you should take a look."

"What are you trying to be mysterious about," Xiao Lingyu muttered, pulling out the sword of the guard next to him, and picking up the white cloth covering the corpse from the side - "Ding".

The sword in his hand fell off, and Xiao Lingyu stared at the man's face with a blank expression.

The kneeling man dared to speak now: "Your Highness, we found the body of the Empress in the mass grave!"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Lingyu shouted, his hands shaking slightly: "Carry it into my bedroom, go quickly!"

The subordinates did not dare to say more, and hurriedly lifted it up and went towards the bedroom.

Xiao Lingyu followed closely behind, his lips were white from biting his teeth.

After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Xiao Lingyu squatted on the ground to check the body, and asked: "How did you find it?"

"Today, another group of assassins came to the East Palace. We were responsible for handling them. After arriving at the mass grave, we heard a strange noise." "

I went forward to check, but saw a group of people surrounding a hole and digging down."

"During the period, I also heard them say that this person was buried in gorgeous clothes and jewelry, which were obviously not ordinary items. But before, there were people guarding the surroundings, so they didn't dare to get close. Now that there is no one, they have evil ideas and want to dig out these things and sell them."

"I felt something was wrong. Someone was guarding her, so her identity must be unusual. Yet she was buried in this mass grave. So I chased those people away, looked into the cave, and saw..."

Needless to say, the rest of the story.

Xiao Lingyu checked the body again and again, making sure that there was no human skin mask, and that the features on the body were exactly the same as those of the empress when she was alive. After ruling out the possibility of impersonation, he let out a light breath and stood up.

"Master, this..."

Xiao Lingyu raised his hand to interrupt him: "Forget about what happened today. Find a place to bury it. Don't let anyone see it. The deeper the better."

The two men answered yes, lifted the body and rushed out, but were stopped by someone.

"What are you burying?"

Ling Zizhong came over at some point and asked curiously while looking at the corpse covered with white cloth.

"Forget about the assassins who came to the East Palace to assassinate," Xiao Lingyu stood in front of them calmly, with his hands behind his back, motioning them to hurry up, and at the same time chuckled to Ling Zizhong, "The weather is getting hotter, and the smell of rotting corpses is terrible. It's better to find a place to bury them, and they can also serve as fertilizer for flowers and plants."

Ling Zizhong said softly, "I see, stop, I want to see what the assassin who dared to come to the East Palace to assassinate looks like."

The subordinates paused. Xiao Lingyu cursed in his heart, but said on the surface, "What's there to see? It's nothing more than two eyes and a mouth. The death is horrible, and it makes me sick for no reason."

"Hurry up and get down."

This voice was obviously urged, and the subordinates hurriedly took a few steps.

"Just take a look. I have seen all kinds of dead bodies. Stop!"

Seeing that his subordinates were about to walk out, Ling Zizhong stopped them immediately.

Xiao Lingyu was almost mad at these two extremely obedient subordinates.

He stepped forward and stopped Ling Zizhong's hand that was about to uncover the white cloth: "Why do you have to take a look? It's just a dead body. Don't tell me, uncle knows it?"

"You also said it's just a dead body. Why can't I see it? Whether you know it or not, you have to see it to know!"
