"Your Highness, she's dead!"
The guard shouted nervously.
Just as he was about to reveal crucial information, the man died!
But although their extreme punishments are cruel, under normal circumstances, people don't die that quickly!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately opened the water prison, walked up to Qin Shuang, checked her breath, and examined her.
It was discovered that Qin Shuang was indeed dead.
As for the cause of death, he summoned the coroner, who concluded that he had suffered greatly and suffered cardiac arrest.
"How could it suddenly stop?"
Xiao Ye felt somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness, should we ask the Crown Princess to take a look? Her medical skills are superb; perhaps she can diagnose the problem..."
Ye Dong noticed Xiao Ye's confusion and made a suggestion.
But Xiao Ye waved his hand, "No need, since the person is dead, just throw them into a mass grave!"
Although he didn't find out who her master was, he did gain some more information today.
They learned where Xinglan was, as Qin Shuang had mentioned, and that Xinglan had trained many divine doctors and was gradually infiltrating some neighboring countries.
He simply instructed his men to continue investigating based on the clues they had obtained from Qin Shuang.
at the same time.
Inside a dark, secluded stone cave, a woman dressed in dark purple suddenly clutched her chest and coughed up blood.
She raised her eyes, which were cold and dangerous, and revealed a sinister smile.
"What a useless piece of trash!"
The woman spat out a curse, then slowly got up and walked out of the cave.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her figure resembled that of a young girl.
Facing the light, the figure disappeared into the cave.

Ever since Su Wanshi was humiliated by Qi Yinyin, she has been busy currying favor with the Second Princess at home, spending several days playing with her and trying to play matchmaker between her and Su Lianwu.
Although Su Lianwu was unwilling, he could only reluctantly agree in the end due to the presence of Jiang Qinshu and his father.
The second princess and Su Lianwu then began to meet frequently.
Su Wanshi felt it wasn't appropriate for her to step between the two at this time, so she stayed home and had some free time.
When she finally had some free time, she realized that the King of Chu hadn't come to see her at all.
Feeling somewhat resentful and unwilling to be abandoned by the King of Chu, Su Wanshi, after discussing it with Jiang Qinshu, decided to feign illness to entice Xiao Churen to come to her.
She soaked in several buckets of cold water in the chilly night, finally catching a cold.
This time, Jiang Qinshu personally took charge and stood guard at the entrance of the Chu Prince's residence.
When she saw the King of Chu leave the mansion, Jiang Qinshu rushed up and knelt down with a thud.
"Your Highness, please, go see Wanshi! She has fallen ill because of you, and now she won't eat or drink; she looks like she's about to die!"
"Is Wan Shi sick?"
Xiao Churen was shocked and worried when he saw Jiang Qinshu kneeling in front of him, crying sadly.
He's been so busy lately that he hasn't had time to think about romance, and on top of that, he's been betrothed and hasn't figured out how to explain it to Su Wanshi.
Therefore, he forgot about going to see Su Wanshi.
Now that Jiang Qinshu has said this, I naturally feel worried.
"Ever since the prince and Wanshi had their falling out, Wanshi has been depressed and withdrawn. No matter how we try to comfort her, it's no use. Now that she's sick, she refuses to take her medicine or eat. If this continues, she might not survive!"
Jiang Qinshu wiped away her tears and sadly recounted her story.
Upon hearing that Su Wanshi was so heartbroken over him that she almost died, Xiao Churen was deeply moved.
He felt both guilty and heartbroken, and hurriedly said to Jiang Qinshu, "I will go with you to see Wanshi right now, and I will definitely not let her die!"
After a while, Xiao Churen followed Jiang Qinshu to the Su family.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong medicinal odor.
"Wanshi, what's wrong with you—"
Just as Xiao Churen was about to ask her a question, he suddenly saw Su Wanshi half-raised, her face pale and haggard, with a pot of burning charcoal in front of her.
She was holding many letters in her hands, about to throw them into the charcoal fire.
"Don't stop me. Even if I die, I'll take these letters with me. Anyway, the prince doesn't care about me anymore. He has other women by his side."
Let me take these letters with me, let them go with my life, just as I took my love for the Prince with me!
Su Wanshi cried as she spoke.
Beside her was a maid dressed in apricot-colored clothes, who was reaching out to hold her waist, trying to keep her away from the charcoal fire.
"Miss, please don't be like this. There might be some misunderstanding between you and the Prince. Please don't think too much about it!"
The maid tried her best to persuade her.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Churen abruptly stopped speaking.
He was both moved and heartbroken. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickened his pace and walked up to Su Wanshi.
"Wanshi, you mustn't do this! I'm coming!"
Xiao Churen snatched the letter from her hand and sat down beside her.
He glanced at the letters and was immediately filled with many emotions.
Those were all letters exchanged between him and Su Wanshi when they first met, from their initial acquaintance to their growing affection for each other.
These letters record their journey of getting to know and fall in love!
How could you just burn it like that?
"Your Highness, since you don't want me anymore, please let me burn these things!"
Su Wanshi's tears gushed out like a spring. Her body was held captive by Xiao Churen, and she could only cry and hit Xiao Churen with her hands.
Seeing the look of heartache on Xiao Churen's face, Jiang Qinshu's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. She quickly led all the maids out of the room, leaving the two of them alone.
"Wanshi, it's all my fault. I didn't abandon you; I've just been too busy lately, which is why I haven't come to see you. What do you want from me? Tell me."
Xiao Churen comforted Su Wanshi.
As he recalls the moments they met, he realizes he still has feelings for her.
“But Your Highness, I did take the initiative to go to you. Wanshi even swallowed her pride and went to you to beg for peace, but Your Highness refused to see me.”
Su Wanshi thought of how Qi Yinyin had made things difficult for her last time and said with a wronged expression.
"Is that so? Wan Shi, when did you go to see yourself? Why don't I know?"
Xiao Churen asked in surprise.
A look of understanding flashed in Su Wanshi's eyes; she knew it was Qi Yinyin who was behind it!
"Your Highness, it was just a few days ago. In the past, I could enter your residence directly, but last time the servants in your residence wouldn't let me in, so I had to ask them to inform you."
But who knew that instead of you, I met that girl Yinyin. She told me that the prince no longer loved me, and that she was now his favorite. She had me beaten and driven away, sob sob..."
Su Wanshi became more and more upset as she spoke, and finally burst into tears of grievance.
Upon hearing that it was Qi Yinyin, Xiao Churen's feelings for her, which had grown over the past few days because of her care and attention, instantly turned into anger.
"Qi Yinyin, how dare she!"
