Chapter 1499: According to the law, how to deal with it?
Nan Yan asked, "The Queen?"
Xu Miaoyin walked over in the moonlight and said with a smile, "It's just right that you're here. I have something to tell you."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was about to ask what was going on when she heard Zhu Feng say from behind, "What is it?"
Upon hearing his voice, Xu Miaoyin hurried in and kowtowed to Zhu Feng, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Stand up."
Nan Yan stood at the door. It was not convenient for her to leave at this time, so she could only walk to the side.
Zhu Feng glanced at her, then looked at Xu Miaoyin and said, "The Queen just said she had something to say. What was it?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "Your Majesty, based on the confessions of the criminal Feng Qianyan and her accomplices last night, I have had Shao Ren from the Imperial Hospital arrested today. However, after Shao Ren was injured, his apprentice Han Guangqi, who was helping Feng Qianyan with her labor, was found homeless."
"What?!"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he frowned.
Although, this case, along with this person, was no longer that important at this point and could be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for handling, the occurrence of this incident made Zhu Feng immediately realize that something was wrong.
Nan Yan looked at the gleam in his eyes and knew that he must have thought of it too.
Han Guangqi was able to get the news that the palace was going to send people to arrest them before his master, so this person's identity must be no simple matter.
So, Zhu Feng immediately asked: "What about now?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "I had people block all the roads out of the city and search everywhere. I finally found him in a forest south of the city. But—"
"But what?"
"But he has already hanged himself."
“……!”
Zhu Feng frowned again.
Nan Yan, who was a little tired to begin with, and whose back ached from sitting all day, stood slightly hunched over. Upon hearing this, she straightened up in shock, and looked at Xu Miaoyin with wide eyes.
Dead?!
As if answering her doubts, Xu Miaoyin repeated: "He died by hanging."
“…”
"Beside him, there was a suicide note, which explained how he had helped Feng Qianyan with burning moxa to induce labor and preserve the fetus. However, he didn't expect that this would kill the little princess. He committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's heart began beating faster for some reason.
Before, she had always suspected that Han Guangqi was not an ordinary person, and even suspected that the mysterious man might be behind him, but now that he is dead, all clues are gone.
Did he really commit suicide out of fear of punishment, or...
And, committing suicide by hanging?
Although this is the most common way for a person to end his life when he is desperate, for some reason, she suddenly thought of Feng Shu who had committed suicide by hanging herself in the cold palace.
Han Guangqi committed suicide while carrying a serious crime.
Feng Shu hanged herself with some unresolved mysteries.
Although their deaths were so far apart and had nothing to do with each other, for some reason, at this moment, she felt a chill running down her spine.
Could there be any connection?
Just when she was distracted, Xu Miaoyin explained everything else clearly.
Then he said, "Also, the Ministry of Justice is conducting an expedited interrogation, and Feng Qianyan and Shao Ren have confessed their guilt. Your Majesty, please see—"
"According to the law, how should we deal with it?"
"According to the law, Shao Ren attempted to murder the heir to the throne and should be executed immediately; Feng Qianyan attempted to murder the imperial concubine and her unborn child and should be beaten to death."
