Chapter 327 On the eve of the wedding, he became a widower

Even Xiao Jinxuan showed such a grief-stricken expression. Even if Emperor Zhaowen and Xiao Bicheng didn't want to believe this fact, their hearts sank to the bottom in an instant.

Especially when he thought that he would not live long after Xie Zhuoning's death, a fishy and sweet taste rose up in Emperor Zhaowen's throat.

"Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly!"

He wanted to see who was causing trouble in the palace!

Xiao Bicheng walked to the corpse in a daze, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

I clearly hate her to death, but why do I feel so empty inside when she really dies?

I hadn't tortured her properly, I hadn't even taken revenge on her, so why did she die? Why did she die?

Raising his hand, he wanted to gently touch the corpse's face.

Xiao Jinxuan was one step faster than him and pulled the white cloth over the body. "Your Highness, there are differences between men and women. Please respect yourself."

When Xiao Bicheng heard this, he just found it funny.

It's almost burnt to ashes, so what's the difference between men and women?

He even thought a little maliciously, how great it was that the woman that he didn't get, he, Xiao Jinxuan, also didn't get.

I can't be considered a loser.

Standing up, he raised the corner of his lips and deliberately patted Xiao Jinxuan's shoulder, "Uncle Seventeen, I'm sorry."

On the eve of his wedding, he became a widower.

This is the first time in the Daye royal family.

The winter wind blew, bringing with it a chilly chill.

But it was not as cold as the coldness in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, "Thank you for your concern, Prince. I will definitely keep it in mind."

Although Emperor Zhaowen allowed Xiao Jinxuan to investigate the arson case, he required him to keep everything secret and not to spread the news of Xie Zhuoning's death. The wedding also went on as usual.

If Zhenyang Marquis Xie Ting knew the news of his daughter's death, who knows what kind of changes would happen, so he couldn't leak any news.

In order to prevent Xiao Jinxuan from leaking the news, Emperor Zhaowen also specially sent Lu Xu to investigate with him, so as to atone for his crime.

Xiao Jinxuan had no objection and just lowered his head in agreement. He seemed to be deeply shocked by Xie Zhuoning's death.

Seeing this, Lu Xu felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Xuan, if I had been a little closer, I might have had a chance to rescue Miss Xie."

If they hadn't all kept their distance from Miss Xie, there wouldn't have been any chance for someone to take advantage of them.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't say anything, and didn't even look at him. He just asked Ling Feng to send a golden nanmu coffin over, collect the body, and send it back to Yufusi.

Lu Xu also came over and was shocked when he saw the body being carried onto the dissecting table.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, you won't even leave Miss Xie with a complete body?"

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at her coldly, his eyes were stern, "If we don't do an autopsy, how can we find out the cause of death and the murderer? If we don't find the murderer, won't she die with regrets and rest in peace?"

At that moment, Xu felt as if his back was wet.

He lowered his head quickly and said, "It's my subordinates who are narrow-minded."

Without saying anything more, Xiao Jinxuan turned and left.

Xu wanted to take a closer look before leaving, but unexpectedly the coroner chased him away.

"Everyone, get out!"

After all, it was someone else's territory, so he endured it, and then remembered Emperor Zhaowen's order to supervise Prince Xuan, so he immediately followed him out.

As soon as the coroner saw that everyone had left, he immediately began to examine the body to ensure that there would be no suspicious traces.

On the other side, when Lu Xu chased out, he was dumbfounded.

Where is His Royal Highness Prince Xuan?

Others don't know that there are many secret passages under this Yufusi, connecting them to each other.

Xiao Jinxuan quickly shook off Lu Xu, turned on the device, entered the tunnel, and soon arrived at another room.

As soon as I entered, I saw Ling Xiao sitting on the ground, covered in dust and dirt. He looked like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted and exhausted.

He looked around and asked, "Why are you alone?"

What about Xie Zhuoning?

Ling Xiao had a bitter face, "Miss Xie, she's missing..."

Missing, what does it mean?

Xiao Jinxuan frowned, then relaxed his brows and spoke softly, "Aning, stop playing tricks on me, please come out."

She really is getting better and better at playing games, and now she has teamed up with Ling Xiao to deceive him.

Seeing his master like this, Ling Xiao almost cried, "Master, I'm useless. It was me who lost Miss Xie. If you are angry, you can beat me or kill me..."

Xiao Jinxuan still refused to believe it, raised his hand and pushed it down hard.

The internal force surged in all directions like a gust of air, and in a moment, the surroundings were clearly examined.

No one, really no one.

As if someone had suddenly grabbed his lifeline, Xiao Jinxuan's breathing was choking. He tried to calm himself down, "What's going on?"

Ling Xiao stammered, "Originally everything went according to plan. Miss Xie and I escaped along the tunnel. But when we were about to leave the palace, a shadow suddenly appeared and knocked me unconscious."

When he woke up, he was gone.

Xiao Jinxuan clenched his fists fiercely, his face darkening terribly, "Notify Feiyun Guards, search the entire city for him!"

We have to act quickly. The longer we delay, the more dangerous Xie Zhuoning will be.

But we had to do it quickly and secretly, so that no one would know that Xie Zhuoning was still alive.

"yes!"

Ling Xiao was anxious to redeem himself for his crime, so he immediately turned his grief and anger into strength and left.

Xiao Jinxuan lowered his eyes, his mind a mess at the moment.

Who is it?

Who exactly did this to Xie Zhuoning?

Crown Prince? Empress? Prince Yong? Queen Mother?

He even doubted the Empress Dowager.

Since you are not sure, then check everything!

…

Xie Zhuoning turned over and fell into a sound sleep.

Only when she felt the cool fingertips sliding across her face did she wave her hand impatiently, "Xiao Jinxuan, stop it."

"Heh." A cold laugh echoed in my ears. "You think of him even in your dreams. Your relationship with him is so good that it makes people jealous."

The voice was so familiar that it made his heart tremble. Xie Zhuoning suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly, "It's you!"

The man lazily leaned on the soft pillow beside him, one hand still playing with her hair, "What's that expression on your face? When good friends meet, shouldn't they greet each other warmly?"

"I don't know you at all." Xie Zhuoning pulled her hair out of his hands, raised her head and looked around, only to find that they were in a carriage.

Her memory came back hazily, and she vaguely remembered that she and Ling Xiao were escaping from the fire. When they were about to leave the tunnel, they were knocked unconscious by someone, and she could not remember anything else.

As if realizing something, Xie Zhuoning raised his head abruptly, his eyes alert, "Ye Wuque, where are you taking me?"

Ye Wuque pretended to talk about something else, and recalled with enjoyment, "When I first saw you, it was also a snowy day like this. When I think of the time when we depended on each other, I still miss it a little."

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

He means, those days when he treated her as a backup?
