Chapter 214 Hui Jing's Death

The scene was somewhat silent, and the embarrassment was deafening.

An Yunxi coughed, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said, "I ate a little too much in the mansion these days, and I accidentally ate too much. Master Hui Xin, don't worry."

She felt a little embarrassed when she said this lie.

Hui Xin came back to her senses, and then showed an expression of "I understand".

He lowered his eyes slightly, and no longer looked at An Yunxi rudely, "I came here to report my master's affairs to the princess."

An Yunxi immediately raised her eyes and looked at him seriously.

This is business.

She has not slacked off on the matter of the amulet, and has always kept it in mind. This old abbot may be more hidden than she thought.

He has many secrets.

"I wonder where your master is now?"

She had arranged for people to go to Liangshan Temple to look for the abbot, but after the abbot left the palace, he did not return.

Even Master Huijing disappeared.

Later, Ling Fengxun handed the matter over to Huixin, who knew something about the old abbot.

Huixin has been looking for a month, and now he should have some clues.

Huixin lowered his eyes, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

"I only found the body of Brother Huijing."

When An Yunxi heard this, an expression of disbelief flashed across her eyes.

"What?"

Huixin's voice was heavy.

"It was the villagers nearby who found his body floating on the shore and reported it to the authorities, and I was able to find out his whereabouts. The reason why he and my master did not return to Liangshan Temple was that they must have encountered an accident on the way."

Hui Xin closed his eyes slightly, and his breathing became a little heavy.

Although this incident happened several days ago, he is still restless and is looking for his master everywhere every day.

His master raised him since he was a child and was kind to him, so he can't just ignore him.

It's just that his power alone is too small. If he keeps looking like this, he doesn't know how long it will take, so he came here to report the news, hoping that Ling Fengxun can arrange more people and horses for him to find his master faster.

An Yunxi's lips moved slightly, and looking at Hui Xin in front of him, he felt a little more guilty.

Was it because she asked the old abbot and Master Huijing to force their way into the palace to help her cancel the engagement that they were in danger?

An Yunxi pursed her lips and felt that her voice had become a little drier.

"Master Huixin, have you found out who killed them?"

Huixin shook her head slightly: "The wound on the back should have been caused by a sneak attack. My senior brother was not prepared at all, and there were no other signs of fighting on his body. The only pity is that the location where his body was found was not the place where he died."

Otherwise, more clues could be found.

Huijing's death made An Yunxi feel even more heavy-hearted, as if a shadow was cast over her heart.

Her fingers hidden under her sleeves tightened slightly.

Huijing is a good person.

But such a person died

A strong sense of self-blame spread in her heart, but it was useless to think about these things now. She had to find the murderer and avenge Master Huijing.

An Yunxi gathered her thoughts and didn't care about her current physical condition. She said, "I don't know where Master Huijing's body is placed. I want to see it with my own eyes."

"I have asked someone to put the body in the morgue in the capital."

Because of the hot weather, the body can only be placed in a special place for burying corpses. There is an ice cellar dug underground, which can slow down the decay of the body.

An Yunxi immediately asked Chunyue to prepare a carriage, and then left the house with Huixin.

Huixin personally drove the carriage and took her to the place where the body was kept.

Even though it was because of the ice cellar, the smell in here was still extremely unpleasant. As soon as she reached the door, An Yunxi's face turned pale and she couldn't help vomiting.

Hui

Xin looked at her with some concern: "Princess, if you can't hold it, don't go in."

An Yunxi shook her head: "No, I have many doubts in my heart. If I can't see the body, I'm afraid I can't solve them."

Having said that, Hui Xin didn't persuade her anymore.

He walked to a corner and lifted the white cloth covering the body a little, revealing Hui Jing's face underneath.

Hui Jing closed her eyes tightly. Her body was swollen and rotten from being soaked. Just one look would make a normal person vomit the overnight meal.

An Yunxi was naturally uncomfortable, but it was not because she could not accept this scene, but because of her pregnancy.

In her previous life, she had seen countless corpses on the battlefield that were more terrifying than the one in front of her, and she did not really find it that scary .

After calming down for a while, she finally observed the condition of the corpse from a close distance, and even personally checked the wounds on the corpse.

It was almost the same as what Huixin said.

Huijing was fatally attacked from behind.

A knife stabbed his heart, leaving him completely unable to react.

An Yunxi closed her eyes, and her mood became extremely complicated. She suddenly saw that Huijing's clothes were stained with a piece of dried paper.

The scraps of paper were soaked and shredded, with only a few scraps left, staining his sleeves.

She recognized the material of the dirty scraps at a glance, which was the paper used to make amulets .

An Yunxi carefully took the scraps off, but the small scraps were already fragile, and after being taken, they broke into two pieces.

"Master Huixin, does your senior brother also have the amulet given to him by your master?"

Huixin was slightly startled. He raised his pale fingertips, took the amulet paper scraps that An Yunxi showed him, and shook his head slightly.

"I don't know."

Although they are brothers, their relationship is not close, so he naturally doesn't know what the other has.

"Do you have it?"

Hui Xin nodded slowly.

He did have a peace amulet on him, which was given to him by his master for safety.

An Yunxi's eyes lit up immediately, "Can you show me the peace amulet?"

Hui Xin did not hesitate, and after finding the peace amulet on her body, she took it off and gave it to An Yunxi.

An Yunxi carefully opened the folded amulet and saw the pattern on the amulet paper.

Then, but this amulet paper was exactly the same as hers, and there was nothing written on the back.

Only the blood-stained amulet found on An Ruxue was a little special.

There seemed to be countless threads in her mind, and she clearly had a feeling, but no matter what, she couldn't find the end of the thread, and there was no way to connect all the thoughts.

She raised her eyes and asked tentatively: "Huixin, is there a possibility that the murderer of your senior brother is the old abbot?"
