Chapter 631 Dead
The wife of Marquis Wu'an wanted He Zhimin to go with her, but she was afraid that Lu Xiang would refuse on the spot and embarrass herself in front of so many people, so she held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Now that He Zhiyan is on good terms with Lu Xiang, everyone will give her some face. Lu Xiang will protect He Zhiyan, but he may not protect her and Min'er. What's more, He Zhiyan is about to marry into the Song family, and she has the support of the Anguo Mansion and the Queen Mother. Maybe she would rather see herself make a fool of herself.
Fuxi Pavilion is an attic built in the Imperial Garden. There are windows on all four sides of the second floor. No matter where you stand, you can take in the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden in all directions.
"Xiangxiang, what are you thinking about?" He Zhiyan asked when he saw Lu Xiang staring out the window in a daze.
Lu Xiang gently stroked the window sill and frowned, "I'm thinking about Zheng Wenshuang's next move."
He Zhiyan was shocked: "She has already left the palace, can she still stir up trouble?"
Lu Xiang frowned and was silent for a while: "I can't explain this feeling, I just feel that based on Zheng Wenshuang's personality, she is not someone who would easily compromise and leave the palace quietly."
Yun Lu thought for a moment and said, "Miss, I will keep an eye on her until she leaves the palace."
"I'm afraid that even if she leaves, she will still leave troubles behind." Lu Xiang said with a sigh.
Ah Man took a bite of the apple and offered a suggestion expressionlessly: "Simple, arrest the person and torture him severely."
Yun Lu looked at her helplessly and laughed, "That won't work. Even if the Queen wants to arrest someone, there must be some basis. This is not an ordinary young lady, but a princess personally appointed by the Emperor. She has an imperial decree. If she is arrested without any crime, wouldn't it make the Queen gossip?"
Not to mention torture.
Lu Xiang nodded in agreement and said to Yun Lu, "Let's do as you say, Aunt. Send someone to keep an eye on Zheng Wenshuang and make sure she leaves the palace first. It's also possible that I'm overthinking it. No matter how domineering Zheng Wenshuang is, she won't dare to act rashly in the palace without the protection of the eldest princess."
I hope...she is overthinking it.
As time passed, the palace servants in the imperial garden became increasingly busy.
As the sun set in the west, Lu Xiang saw Yun Lu returning in a hurry, his face looking extremely ugly.
"Miss, something happened."
He Zhiyan was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and his heart was in his throat.
Lu Xiang's face darkened slightly, and he said expressionlessly: "Tell me slowly."
"I didn't find Princess Wen Shuang, and after asking around, I learned that she had indeed left the palace. But on the way back, I heard palace servants talking about a death, so I went to investigate. I didn't expect that the person they were talking about was Yu Tong. She was pushed into the Taiye Lake and drowned. When her body floated up, it was discovered by a palace servant passing by."
"Dead?" Lu Xiang was stunned and asked.
Yu Tong was originally dragged away to be beaten with a stick, so it was impossible for her to run around. In the palace, except for the person with whom she had just become enemies, she had no interactions with anyone else. Whoever killed her in the palace would bring trouble upon himself.
Only Zheng Wenshuang.
It was she who proposed to leave the palace with Tong. As a princess who had entered the palace since childhood, she was naturally very familiar with the terrain of the palace, and it was easier for her to bribe the palace servants than others.
She thought Zheng Wenshuang would not let it go, but she didn't expect that she would actually kill someone in the palace.
What a lunatic.
He Zhiyan was so shocked that she was speechless. Zheng Wenshuang's domineering behavior shattered all her worldviews.
"Aunt Yunlu, what else happened?" Lu Xiang asked again when he saw that Yunlu's face looked strange.
