Chapter 180 The Arrogant Prince
Even after the two stood up, the regent did not lose his temper again; he simply turned his back to everyone, leaving behind a dignified silhouette.
The two not only breathed a sigh of relief that their lives had been saved, but also praised Young Master Feng for his skill in making the Regent restrain his temper.
Ignoring their trepidation, Mo Linyuan walked directly to the unusual corpse and began to observe it quietly.
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Feng Qingge seemed to have noticed his unusual expression. He usually only raised his eyebrows when he was interested in something, and it was clear that this corpse was very interesting to him.
"Come and take a look." Turning around, Mo Linyuan glanced at her, then turned back to stare at the corpse again.
Raising an eyebrow, Feng Qingge walked towards him. She really wanted to see what it was that could interest him so much.
Clearly, not only did Feng Qingge want to see it, but the other three did too. Before long, the five of them had surrounded the corpse.
As the coroner, Li Qi knew something was wrong with the corpse as soon as the white sheet was lifted. This corpse was different from the previous ones. Although the manner of death looked the same, the essence was different.
He examined those bodies and found no obvious external or internal injuries. Just like the rumors said, they had truly passed out in their sleep.
This one was different; the corpse was pale, yet it had an unusual gray tinge, and it was decaying at a normal rate.
Therefore, this person was murdered...
“Look.” Mo Linyuan raised an eyebrow and pointed to the side of the corpse’s hand.
The group followed his hand and saw that it had an unusual blackish-gray color, and the fingernails had black streaks from the bottom to the fingertips, like painted curves, which was very strange.
"Tsk tsk, died of poisoning, how terrifying." It should be said that human nature is truly terrifying. Feng Qingge blinked and spoke first, "It seems that someone is trying to confuse the issue. Hey, Your Highness, what do you think?" In the end, she did not forget to ask Mo Linyuan's opinion.
Mo Linyuan glanced at her again, his cold gaze making her very uncomfortable. "It's just a frame-up." This must be someone in the capital using this unsolved case as a pretext to kill someone and then disguise it as being exactly the same as this case in order to escape punishment.
"Your Highness is truly clever." With an awkward smile, Feng Qingge was speechless. This guy must have held a grudge against her again for stopping him from throwing a tantrum earlier. Well, if she couldn't afford to offend him, she could at least avoid him. This great deity was like the Jade Emperor in heaven; she had to treat him with utmost respect and not disobey him.
"Hmph." He snorted coldly, clearly not wanting to talk to her. He had just spoken up for two unrelated people, but now he didn't have the ability to do so.
"Hehe, Your Highness, what should we do?" Feng Qingge chuckled awkwardly, following Mo Linyuan around like a tail.
He ignored her and turned to walk outside, saying, "Back to the manor." Since someone had violated the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty, he naturally couldn't let him get away with it.
Well, the old man has spoken again, and Feng Qingge can only follow behind with a long face, obeying his orders. She's just unlucky.
Before leaving, Hei Ming gave Li Qi, who had just escaped death, a good instruction: to examine the body thoroughly and not let the Regent find any mistakes, because he wouldn't be so lucky next time.
Li Qi nodded repeatedly, his back almost bent at a ninety-degree angle. He was already terrified enough to face the Regent's wrath directly this time, so how could he dare to do it again?
