Chapter 89 The Princess's Corpse
Yan Fengxiao's tone was somewhat cold and harsh, "In my previous life, did I watch you being bullied?"
Qin Mingzhu lowered her head, feeling a little guilty: "No, the governor helped me a lot."
"Then why did you still suffer?"
Qin Mingzhu saw that Yan Fengxiao asked this question very seriously and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Could she say that she was stupid and pretended not to know the man's feelings and deliberately avoided him?
At that time, her mind was full of shame and righteousness. She wanted to take good care of the Marquis' Mansion for her deceased husband, so that he would know about it in the afterlife...
If Yan Qinghao hadn't come back alive, she would never have accepted another man...
Qin Mingzhu thought for a while before answering: "It's all my fault..."
"Why do you blame me?"
Yan Fengxiao frowned.
He could feel that Qin Mingzhu seemed to be blaming herself all the time.
Although he didn't know what the woman in front of him was blaming him for, but...
"It's never your fault. Just do what you want to do and don't punish yourself for the mistakes of others."
Qin Mingzhu's eyes trembled, and then she smiled.
She rarely talked so much about her heart to a man, not to mention... she felt that this feeling was very good.
So this is what it feels like to be in tune with each other. He understands what she means and listens to what she wants to say...
"Um."
She nodded slightly.
Suddenly she stood on tiptoe, raised her head, and kissed Yan Fengxiao on the lips.
The touch, as light as floating feathers, disappeared in an instant like a dream. Yan Fengxiao was stunned for a moment. When he lowered his eyes to look at Qin Mingzhu again, he saw the woman in front of him smiling as bright as the full moon.
This time, Qin Mingzhu did not avoid the other person's gaze.
She raised the corners of her lips and said, "If the governor feels that I have taken advantage of you, you can always ask for it back."
Yan Fengxiao's Adam's apple moved slightly.
He seemed to be touched by Qin Mingzhu's words.
It was like hearing the sound of a taut string in his mind breaking. At this moment, Yan Fengxiao no longer had any concerns.
The next moment, Qin Mingzhu knew what it meant to truly bring disaster upon oneself...
My breath was taken away, and my whole body felt like it was hollowed out. I felt numb and all my senses were restrained.
There was no gap between her lips and teeth. Qin Mingzhu's legs were weak and even her strength to stand was almost exhausted.
If she hadn't leaned on the man's arms, Qin Mingzhu felt like she would have suffocated to death...
Her cheeks had already flushed red, and her beautiful eyes were misty, but it seemed that this offensive to capture the city and plunder the land had just begun...
…
Yan Fengxiao received the imperial edict to search for someone, and the eldest prince was also busy.
First, he negotiated with the envoys from the Northern Frontier at the post station for a long time, but the old national teacher of the Northern Frontier refused to give in.
"Your Highness, the safety of Princess Su is the most important matter right now. We have no intention of negotiating until we receive news that Her Highness is safe and sound."
When Yan Xuanjing heard this, his expression became very solemn. It was obvious that the people from the Northern Frontier Kingdom were not so easy to talk to.
Indeed, on the border battlefield, the Northern Frontier Kingdom has always had the upper hand, and those who really want to negotiate have always been on the side of the Southern Yan Kingdom.
"Princess Su is surrounded by so many guards, it's impossible for anything to happen to her. Maybe she got delayed by something..."
"I hope so. Since it's inconvenient for us, the foreign ministers, to act here in the Northern Frontier, we must ask the Crown Prince for help in this matter... Oh, by the way, someone seemed to have seen a fire in the abandoned alley not far from the city gate last night. I wonder if the Crown Prince could take us there to investigate!"
The old national teacher of Northern Frontier suddenly changed the subject and mentioned a place.
In fact, the old national teacher of Northern Frontier already had a bad premonition in his heart.
It's not that he didn't know why Princess Su came here in advance, but he tried to persuade her, but failed...
Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been impulsive. She does whatever she wants to do, and once she makes up her mind, even nine oxen can't stop her.
The old national teacher also had some hope in his heart, thinking that it would not be difficult to rescue one person with dozens of masters. Even if she was really exposed, as long as Princess Su revealed her identity, no one would dare to touch her.
However, Princess Su disappeared after entering the imperial city. It was heard that Marquis Dingyuan was also executed last night. The old imperial teacher was not stupid and guessed that this matter was closely related to the Yanjing Governor's Office.
Yan Xuanjing frowned slightly. "Since the old Imperial Master has mentioned this matter, this prince must accept my responsibility. Everyone, please come in."
He immediately took a group of his subordinates and accompanied the old imperial teacher to the remote alley where the fire in the imperial city broke out last night.
After all, a firework was set off here to convey a message. This was noticed by some spies from the northern border hiding in the imperial city, and they speculated that it was related to the disappearance of Princess Su.
That's why he told the old national teacher in such a hurry. What about someone accidentally seeing it was pure nonsense.
A group of people came to the alley in a mighty procession.
This is also the true burial place of Princess Su and Yan Qinghao.
But in front of me, the dilapidated yard had long been burned down, and all that was left was a pile of dark ruins.
When seeing this scene, the old national teacher's face turned pale.
His bad premonition came true, making it difficult for him to accept the scene before him for a moment.
If the emperor knew about this, the old imperial teacher would feel his scalp tingling and his neck cold. He was a man who doted on Princess Su very much. If he really knew that Princess Su died in the Kingdom of Southern Yan with him by her side, then he would not live long!
"Search, dig three feet deep into the ground, if you want to find him alive, or his body if he's dead!"
Yan Xuanjing didn't expect that the old imperial teacher would be so excited when he arrived.
His cloudy eyes almost protruded from their sockets, and were bloodshot.
He waved to his subordinates behind him, and the guards rushed forward, no matter how dirty and black the ruins on the ground were, and started to dig them up.
If you can find a shovel, use it; if you can't find one, dig with your hands.
The old national teacher's body was shaking slightly until an hour later, when someone seemed to have found something in the corner of the wall.
"Look here!"
The guard shouted.
It immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
Even the eldest prince and the old imperial preceptor came over, and then everyone saw a charred corpse under the ruins...
Two brave guards walked over and dragged the body out of the ruins caused by the fire.
As a result, after the first body was found, someone soon found the second and third bodies...
Finally, eighteen charred corpses were neatly placed on the ground in the entire yard, and their original appearance was no longer recognizable.
When the old national teacher saw this scene, his body shook slightly. His expression was quite ugly and his voice was trembling.
"Someone, come and check if Her Royal Highness's body is inside!"
The news of the body being dug out here spread quickly.
Naturally, it also reached the ears of Qin Mingzhu and Yan Fengxiao.
However, after hearing this, the two of them were not anxious at all, and they were even in the mood to watch their son together...
"Commander-in-Chief, the Crown Prince has sent someone to invite you to come in person!"
