"Master! How can I live if you're gone?" Rong Fang cried so hard that tears and snot fell.
Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen who strode in behind her, and slowly walked to his side.
"He just died, and he just finished taking medicine." Gu Yunru said helplessly, and Rong Zhen rubbed her shoulders soothingly.
"Master, Master..." Rong Fang's delicate body was trembling, and she was crying so heartbreakingly that it made people feel distressed.
"Okay, stop crying, the dead are gone..." Gu Yunru looked at her crying hard, she didn't look really heartbroken at all, instead, she showed joy and relief in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, it was obvious that she was happy that Tang Zhao died early.
However, after Tang Zhao's death, the Tang Mansion was in chaos. There were several hundred people in the Tang clan, and the elders of each clan wanted to get the position of clan leader. But it just so happened that Sixth Miss Wen disappeared at this time.
The Tang family began to prepare for the funeral with great fanfare. Gu Yunru put on a plain white dress and inserted a small daisy on both sides of her bun.
"Two days have passed, and there's still no sign of Wen Xin. Could it be that something unexpected happened to her, or has her competitor secretly eliminated her?" Gu Yunru felt more and more uneasy. According to Wen Xin's temper, she would not leave without saying a word. It is very likely that something big happened to her.
Rong Zhen turned around and sat beside her, raising his thick eyebrows and said, "It's strange to say that even the Madam and her personal maid disappeared together. Although some gold and silver jewelry were taken away, the most valuable thing is the pair of golden Bodhisattva statues under the Madam's pillow. If the Madam really abandoned everything in the Tang Mansion temporarily, there is no way she would not have taken the golden Bodhisattva statue with her."
In the past few days, Ji Heng and Rong Zhen have been searching for Wen Xin's whereabouts without any effort, and they also inquired about the eldest lady. The time when the two of them disappeared was particularly consistent, so they concluded that there must be some connection between them.
"Could it be that someone deliberately kidnapped them all? But it's strange that no one saw him go out alone, and no one saw Wen Xin go out. This means that they should still be enjoying themselves, and they may have become corpses..." When Gu Yunru thought of this conclusion, he felt a chill down his spine, as if the windows and doors were not closed tightly.
At this time, Tang Shixun came into the door and Gu Yunru was startled.
"When did Mr. Tang come outside the door?"
Gu Yunru blinked her starry eyes, praying that he didn't hear what they had just said.
"I just got here. What's the matter? Are the prince and princess discussing something like this?"
"No, no, we are just discussing how to deal with Lord Tang's funeral. By the way, Lord Tang knows the Poison King, so I'm sure Mr. Tang should have heard of him too, right?" Gu Yunru looked at him expectantly. Now that the two important clues were broken, she hoped to find a little clue from Tang Shixun. Tang Shixun asked in confusion, "Why did the princess and the prince go to find the Poison King? He has a very strange temper and personality."
Rong Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Shixun and said, "Do you know the Poison King?"
"Of course. I heard my uncle talk about this. It seems that there is a deep forest in Dangshan. There are many snakes, scorpions and ferocious beasts nearby. If you two really want to go there, you must hurry up. In more than half a month, the place will be covered with dark clouds. If you go there at that time, it will be very difficult."
After hearing this, Gu Yunru wished he could ride a broom to Dangshan immediately. But then he thought that Dangshan would take about eight days to get from Luoyang City. Thinking about the backward transportation in ancient times, Gu Yunru even wanted to faint.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Gu Yunru looked at Tang Shixun in front of her. The more she looked, the more strange it seemed to her. Could it be that he had deliberately leaked the news to the two of them?
"In that case, I'll keep an eye on it. You two should take a good rest." Tang Shixun said with a bow, and then pushed open the wing room. Gu Yunru watched his back go away, and hurriedly came to Rong Zhen and said, "Now that we know where the Poison King is, why don't we set off immediately and find him as soon as possible so that we can solve this matter as soon as possible!"
Gu Yunru's eyes were shining with excitement, but Rong Zhen had become somewhat gloomy at this moment, with a cold luster hidden in his dark pupils, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking. He raised his lips indifferently, sat to one side and said, "The journey to Dangshan is very bumpy, so we should hurry up. By the time we come back, Wen Xin might have already returned."
The two of them thought so naively. Anyway, they hadn't found any clues yet. They were discussing setting off early tomorrow morning when Ji Heng suddenly appeared.
"Ji Heng, you are finally back. Is there any news about her?" Gu Yunru walked towards him excitedly, his eyes sharp and bright. Ji Heng's eyebrows were shrouded in a layer of sinisterness, and he frowned and looked at the two of them and said, "I found Wen Xin's body. Wen Xin has been killed."
"What!" The two were shocked and unbelievable after hearing what was said. A few days ago, they were discussing when to confer the title of princess on her so that her reputation in the Tang clan could be improved.
But I didn't expect things to turn out like this today...
"Who on earth did it?" Gu Yunru couldn't wait to catch the real culprit. Ji Heng stood there calmly, his eyes sharp and fierce.

“It’s unknown for now, but I’ve also been looking for the whereabouts of the Madam and Yu’er, but I haven’t found them, so I believe they must have been murdered. They must have known something terrible, so they were murdered.” Ji Heng said, with a gloomy look on his face like a storm, which made people shudder.
When Rong Zhen heard this, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
"So what you mean is that the murderer is near us, and he knows everything about us. He also knows that Wen Xin might become a princess, so he killed her?" Gu Yunru felt that this matter was a little confusing.
The eldest lady has always had a good reputation in the Tang Mansion, and Rong Fang has always been above her. She is usually cautious and careful, and it is impossible for her to cause trouble.
Looking at Rong Zhen standing aside, his whole body was soaked in the cold air like frost and snow, and he was also wondering what was wrong with this matter and where the important evidence was left behind.
"Who!" Ji Heng sensed that someone was eavesdropping at the door. The arrogant body quickly flashed to the door, suddenly opened it, and Rong Fang stumbled in.
