1218 Game, to dispel Feng Qingchen's suspicion
The world has never been peaceful. Rest and recuperation is for the next battle!
Lan Jiuqing pointed at the mourning hall and said, "Princess Yaohua died in Dongling. This is a great opportunity for Xiling. Xiling will use Yaohua's death as an excuse to send troops to Dongling."
Lan Jiuqing said this without any hesitation, which shocked Feng Qingchen: "Xi Ling sent troops? Xi Ling actually wants to attack Dong Ling, are they crazy?"
Xiling had just lost 300,000 troops. If they continued to fight, Xiling would be the one that suffered. What benefit could Xiling gain from it?
Feng Qingchen couldn't figure it out!
Feng Qingchen couldn't figure it out, and Lan Jiuqing didn't intend to help her solve it. The three men in black in the mourning hall left quickly, and Lan Jiuqing and Feng Qingchen got a great bargain.
As soon as Lan Jiuqing entered, he checked the deceased bodyguards: "It is indeed the move of the Xiling death warriors."
Feng Qingchen walked to the body of Princess Yaohua, took out a pair of gloves from somewhere, and began to examine the body of Princess Yaohua: "Princess Yaohua was killed by someone, not by strangulation. There are new strangulation marks on her neck, which should be the work of the three men in black just now, to create the illusion that Princess Yaohua was strangled to death and then hanged. However, this method is really crude."
Feng Qingchen curled his lips in disgust.
If her senior sister were here, she would definitely despise the perpetrator, saying it was so unprofessional. Killing a person was so careless, which was really unworthy of the word "professional murder".
"How did you know that?" Lan Jiuqing had floated to Feng Qingchen's side at some point.
The reason why the word "飘" is used is because Lan Jiuqing walked without making any sound.
Feng Qingchen pointed at Princess Yaohua's body and opened her mouth. "The simplest thing is that if she died by hanging, her tongue would be extended, which is what people call a hanged ghost. Death by hanging is very painful, and she will suffocate to death bit by bit. The expression on her face will be very painful and distorted. In order to relieve the pain, the deceased's hands will usually hold the rope, leaving marks on their hands, and their legs will kick wildly in the air, so there will definitely be injuries on their legs. But look at Princess Yaohua?"
Feng Qingchen went all the way down and showed the marks on Yaohua's body to Lan Jiuqing.
Although she is not a professional forensic scientist, her senior sister is one, so she knows some basics.
Lan Jiuqing nodded and did not touch Princess Yaohua's body. Although Yaohua was a beauty, no matter how beautiful a person was, her body would not look very good after two or three days of death, especially in such hot weather. Prince Chun did not put ice next to Yaohua's body, so the body had already rotted, and a foul smell emanated from the mourning hall.
"Can you tell how she died?" Lan Jiuqing motioned Feng Qingchen to go out and talk.
This place cannot be stayed for long.
"No, I haven't found the cause of her death yet. I want to check again." Feng Qingchen is not a professional forensic doctor, she does not have the ability to deduce the case.
Lan Jiuqing shook his head and rejected it: "It's not necessary. How she died is not important. What's important is that we know that she died a violent death."
"So, you know the murderer? Who is the murderer?" Feng Qingchen asked.
"I don't know who the murderer is, but I know the murderer behind the scenes. It is either the Xiling royal family or the Dongling royal family. If it was the Dongling royal family who did it, it was with the tacit consent of Xiling. The death of Princess Yaohua is just an excuse for the two countries to attack each other. It has nothing to do with us." Lan Jiuqing pulled Feng Qingchen's arm and walked out.
Feng Qingchen's hand just touched the corpse.
The two of them returned the same way and returned to the room. Lan Jiuqing lit the lamp while Feng Qingchen put on his gloves and washed his hands carefully. He wanted to discuss the matter of Princess Yaohua with Lan Jiuqing, but Lan Jiuqing just said, "Go back to Feng Mansion tomorrow. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Then he ran away.
"Wait..." Feng Qingchen wanted to chase, but she couldn't even see his shadow. How could she chase him?
The sudden light in her room also attracted the attention of the patrolling guards.
: "Miss Feng, are you okay?"
This is the disadvantage of staying here as a guest. Feng Qingchen sighed and pretended to be sleepy: "It's okay, I'll get up and drink some water."
Then... with a whoosh, the light was blown out.
The room was pitch dark. Feng Qingchen secretly blamed Lan Jiuqing for being nosy. Why did he turn off the lights in her room when he left? As a result, she would be questioned every time she turned on the lights when she came back.
After being busy for most of the night, Feng Qingchen was a little tired, but she didn't want to sleep on that bed, so she had to lie on the table. Lan Jiuqing stayed in the dark and waited until Feng Qingchen's breathing became stable before leaving.
Lan Jiuqing came to the secret room of the Su Mansion. Su Wenqing was lighting a lamp and fighting hard. He checked the news from various places and was quite surprised to see Lan Jiuqing: "Why are you here?"
"I went to check Yaohua's death." Lan Jiuqing sat down and said.
"Yaohua's death?" Su Wenqing yawned. "What is there to investigate? Either Xiling or Dongling did it, or it was Prince Chun. Yaohua wouldn't commit suicide anyway."
No one is stupid these days. No one with a little bit of common sense would believe Dong Ling’s words.
"Tonight, Xiling's people destroyed Yaohua's body and made it look like he was murdered." Lan Jiuqing broke out another piece of news, and Su Wenqing suddenly woke up: "What is Xiling going to do? Is he free?"
"Tomorrow, officials from Xiling will come to Dongling. It is said that they came to Dongling on the orders of the emperor, but when they learned that Princess Yaohua had died, they decided to enter the city a day later and prepare to pay tribute to Yaohua in the morning." Xiling has already set a trap and is waiting for Dongling to take the bait.
"What a coincidence? What is Xiling trying to do?" Su Wenqing sneered.
Lan Jiuqing shook his head and said in an unfathomable way: "No, it's not Xiling who is playing, it's the eldest princess who is playing."
"The eldest princess? What is that damn woman going to do now?" Su Wenqing became alert when mentioning the eldest princess.
That woman is crazy. She has a good political mind, but she always acts without restraint. She only cares about herself and never considers the overall situation.
In other words, his vision is a little narrow, and he only sees the power of Xiling.
"If Xiling and Dongling fight, who is more likely to lead the army?" Lan Jiuqing asked instead of answering. Su Wenqing's eyes widened immediately: "Are you saying that the princess is taking this opportunity to weaken Tianyu's military power?"
Lan Jiuqing nodded heavily: "Tianyu's rise has made the princess feel threatened. In addition, Tianyu's marriage to Cui's daughter has been approved by the Emperor of Xiling, so the princess is even more restless."
"That crazy woman, isn't she afraid that everyone in Xiling will spit on her?" Su Wenqing gritted his teeth.
He hates playing politics with women the most. He is not rational at all and will do anything for his own benefit.
"What are you afraid of? If we lose the war, Tianyu will bear all the blame." Lan Jiuqing sneered, and added: "By the way, the person who poisoned the emperor was found to be from Xiling, but the other party is a dead soldier, and the emperor can't produce any evidence."
"Xi Ling? No wonder the emperor accused Princess Yaohua of murdering the royal heir after her death. It seems that Xi Ling and Dong Ling will definitely fight a war. If Xi Ling doesn't want to fight, Dong Ling will not agree." Su Wenqing sighed.
This matter was clearly the eldest princess' conspiracy, but it was Tianyu who came out to confront her. The eldest princess cleared herself of all charges. She had been planning this matter in secret and had never shown up.
"Even if Dongling and Xiling don't fight this war, Nanling will not agree." Lan Jiuqing closed his eyes to hide the tiredness in them.
All countries have launched secret moves, and no one can sit still. Now the only relatively peaceful place is Beiling. It would be better to go to Beiling early, at least to avoid these meaningless wars.
"What does this have to do with Nanling? I haven't found out what Nanling has to do with these things?" Su Wenqing looked at Lan Jiuqing anxiously.
He wouldn't have missed anything important, would he?
