Chapter 52 Thunder
The two maids had calmed down by now, not daring to say anything more. They whispered, "Yes, Madam!"
The two maids first found a large sack and entered the room again.
Soon two men came out carrying the sack.
Zhao Yurou covered her nose with one hand and waved the other, "Hurry up and dispose of the body. Don't pollute everyone's eyes."
"Remember to be careful and don't let outsiders see it. A female corpse of unknown origin will also cause trouble and make it difficult for everyone to explain it!"
The two maids carried the body and walked out.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the hospital, he ran into Shen Xuanzhi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and several yamen runners.
Just got caught red-handed.
It's like he's lying in wait right here, waiting to catch them.
Shen Xuanzhi was in his early twenties, young and promising, looking like a handsome and elegant young man.
He is very handsome, gentle and sensible, looking like a pale-faced scholar.
Not only does he have unfathomable martial arts skills, he is also ruthless and impartial when it comes to solving cases and interrogating criminals, and his methods are ruthless, earning him the nickname "Iron-Faced Judge."
Most people would feel timid when they saw him.
It can be said that he is a well-known figure in the entire capital.
The two old women carrying the corpse were so frightened when they saw Shen Xuanzhi and several yamen runners behind him that they knelt on the ground and dared not move.
Quickly begging for mercy, "Sir, spare our lives! We didn't kill anyone..."
Hearing the noise outside, Zhao Yurou and Lin Chuxi also came out.
When they saw the "evil spirit" in front of them, they were panicked and at a loss.
Shen Xuanzhi, however, seemed to be fine. He swung the sharp dagger in his hand and did a beautiful and difficult spinning move.
Then he asked gently, "Where are you going so early in the morning with a sack?"
Zhao Yurou suppressed her panic and asked softly, "Why is Lord Shen here so early in the morning?"
"The Lin family has been busy lately, so I stopped by to take a look while on patrol this morning."
He pointed at the sack on the ground and asked in confusion, "Is this a person? What happened? Why are you rushing out so early in the morning? What happened? Do you need my help?"
Zhao Yurou forced herself to remain calm and explained, "A maid died of a sudden illness last night. I was just about to have the nanny carry her out for a proper burial. Please don't worry about it, my lord!"
"Could you please let me examine it to see what the illness is? If it's a serious infectious disease, we can take preventive measures as soon as possible to prevent harm to everyone."
He then looked at the two yamen runners beside him and signaled them with his eyes, "Go and do a preliminary examination. If you can't make a judgment, you need to ask the coroner or the imperial physician to come over and check and confirm together."
Zhao Yurou had no time to stop them before the two yamen runners stepped forward and opened the sack with swift hands and feet.
Coincidentally, the opening of the sack was where the head of the corpse was.
When the head appeared in front of everyone, everyone was horrified and shocked.
It turned out to be Princess Huai'an.
The two maids carrying the corpse almost fainted, their faces drained of all color. One of them yelled, "Ah, it's Princess Huai'an... How... How is this possible?..."
After shouting this, he was so scared that he fainted.
Zhao Yurou also felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her head, making her dizzy and very uncomfortable.
No one could have imagined that the body was actually that of Princess Huai'an, whom they had been searching for since yesterday afternoon, digging deep into the ground and mobilizing hundreds of people.
She unexpectedly died tragically in the Lin family for no apparent reason.
But Mrs. Lin actually said that it was the maid who died of illness.
What is going on?
Lin Chuxi was almost frightened to death on the spot.
How could it be Princess Huai'an?
What should I do?
The Lin family is finished!
Lin Chuxi closed her eyes in despair, her whole body covered in cold sweat and shaking uncontrollably.
The princess's body appeared in the Lin family, and the Lin family was doomed.
Zhao Yurou's lips trembled as she ordered the maid behind her, "Quick...quickly call the eldest and second masters over, it's urgent..."
These words almost drained all her strength.
Even Shen Xuanzhi was shocked.
Last night at midnight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's secret guard sent him a message, asking him to keep a close eye on the courtyard of the Third Miss of the Lin family this morning.
He had been waiting with his brothers in advance.
But he didn't expect that His Highness would give him such a big gift.
Even his heart couldn't bear it anymore.
Looking at Princess Huai'an's miserable death, he almost lost his composure.
He quickly ordered the yamen runners behind him, "Quickly find a clean place to temporarily place the princess's body, and then find a stretcher and be ready for orders."
"Also, send someone to report to the Emperor, Consort De, the Supreme Court Justice, the Minister of Justice, and the Commander of the Imperial Guards, and report the situation here truthfully."
"Yes, sir!"
After a few responses, several yamen runners rushed in different directions.
The sound outside had already woken up Lin Chuyan in the room.
She washed herself briefly and came over gracefully with her two maids.
Seeing Zhao Yurou at the door, before she even got close, she asked, "Mother, what are you doing? Why are you all crowding at my gate? What exactly happened?"
Zhao Yurou turned her head and looked at her daughter, whom she loved the most and had the highest hopes for.
But at this moment, it is unfamiliar.
There is still a faint resentment growing in my heart.
She walked up and slapped Lin Chuyan's pretty little face hard.
There was a crisp sound of slap.
Lin Chuyan covered her aching face and asked in disbelief, "Mother, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"
Zhao Yurou still had a trace of rationality in her heart and asked angrily, "Why did you get up at this time? You slept like a dead pig. Just now, your second sister came over and called you for a long time, but you didn't wake up."
"Then your second sister came to find me again, and we came together to call you, but we still couldn't wake you up."
"Now that something's happened, you've woken up again. What's going on? Why don't you tell the truth?"
After she finished speaking, she pointed to Shen Xuan who was not far away and said, "Lord Shen, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, is also here. Hurry up and explain what you know, otherwise mother will not be able to help you!"
"You will bear all the consequences by yourself, and the Lin family will have nothing to do with it."
Is this an attempt to cut off the tail and survive, pushing Lin Chuyan to take all the blame?
Shen Xuanzhi sneered but said nothing.
Lin Chuyan was completely bewildered and asked in confusion, "Mother, what did I do wrong? Why do I need your help?"
"Mother, please explain clearly! What is going on?"
