Chapter 1360: 666 Autopsy

King Zhennan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you can go with this king." Then he ordered Wang Huwei and Lancao to follow.

Xiao Yi responded lightly, then turned to Nangong Yue and said, "Ayue, it's getting late, you go back first, I'll come with my father." I'm afraid the girl's body can't bear it, so don't let yourself feel bad.

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and replied softly: "Father, Ayi, then I will wait for you to come back at the camp."

She had a gentle and good-natured appearance, and she could see that the fire in King Zhennan's stomach had subsided a little. Hey, it was this daughter-in-law who made him satisfied.

"Ayi, I'll send you and your father off." Nangong Yue said again, and followed the three of them out of the camp of King Zhennan.

As soon as he got out of the camp, he saw a young man with Yuebai Zhishou leisurely walking towards this side in front of him. At this time, the afterglow of the dusk had not yet set.

It is the official language.

The three of Xiao Yi stopped, and Guan Yubai walked close to the front and back, and greeted the three of them, saying, "Your Highness, Shizi, it seems that I'm here by accident..."

King Zhennan originally thought of sending Guan Yubai, but Xiao Yi grabbed him in front and said with a smile, "Master Hou, I think you came at the right time."

With that said, Xiao Yi looked at King Zhennan and said, "Father, since Father has doubts about me, he must not believe me as a son, so let's ask An Yihou to witness together."

King Zhennan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xiao Yi to make such a suggestion at all, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

There is a saying: family ugliness should not be publicized.

In case it is really found out that Xiao Yi sent someone to assassinate Aunt Mei who was pregnant, once it spreads out, the reputation of Zhennan Palace will be completely ruined.

Xiao Yi said provocatively: "Father, my son has a clear conscience, and everything can't be told to others. What about Father?"

King Zhennan was angered by his provocative eyes and tone, and he was not afraid of being humiliated and thrown out.

King Zhennan looked at Guan Yubai and said solemnly: "Master Hou, the family scandal should not be made public, and this king doesn't want to disturb Master Hou Qingqing, but human life is at stake, so it is better to investigate this matter. Can you accompany this king for a trip?"

Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and said, "Your Highness is polite. Yubai should obey his orders."

Soon, Chang Suihe Zhuzi and the others pulled the horses over. Everyone turned on their horses, led the guards, and rode their horses away. After a while, their backs became smaller and more blurred. Only Nangong Yue Stand in place and watch them go away...

It wasn't until they disappeared at the end of the road that Nangong Yue turned back to her tent.

Before you know it, in the evening sky, only the last red slanting sun remains in the sky, dyeing the western mountains and forests with a hazy red veil.

As Xiao Yi's group's hooves drifted away, and another burst of hooves came in the direction of the camp, three or five people came back to the camp in groups. Most of them had a good harvest. A faint smell of blood began to permeate.

Those young sons dismounted one after another, and they talked while walking.

"Brother Huang," a blue-clothed youth said to a blue-clothed youth, "I seem to have seen Wang Ye, Shi Ziye and Marquis Anyi go out together just now?"

Then Mr. Huang blurted out in surprise: "Brother Zhong, didn't the lord say that after the sunset, we will see the results of today's competition?" Why did he suddenly leave the camp? ! "Will this..."

The two looked at each other, feeling that something was not quite right.

Similar conversations were repeated in the vicinity, everyone passed ten, ten passed a hundred... After a while, everyone near the hunting platform heard about it, including some ladies and girls who had planned to come to see the results of the competition. There was a ripple.

At this time, a slender figure appeared in front of the hunting platform. It was a maid in a blue riding suit, with a beautiful face, and the whole person seemed to be generous and heroic.

"Ladies and ladies!" Baihui raised her voice to attract everyone's attention. She knows martial arts and knows how to keep her dantian down when she speaks. Therefore, her voice was not particularly loud at first, but it was clearly transmitted far and wide.

Many ladies and girls recognized this maid as the big maid next to the princess.

Baihui continued to speak loudly, "Concubine Shizi invited the madam and the girls to the banquet more than half the time."

Afterwards, Baihui blessed everyone and retired. She had to let the little maid go to the tents of each prefecture according to the list to notify them one by one, so as to avoid any omissions.

Baihui left, but the commotion near the hunting platform had not subsided, and everyone was chatting for a while, but the original commotion finally subsided.

Since the Concubine Prince is still there, and she is still in the mood to hold a banquet, there will be no major event.

The female relatives have all returned to their tents, and now that the time is almost over, there is not much time left for them to dress up...

When You Shi was still a moment away, one after another, a wife and her daughter-in-law or daughter went to Nangong Yue's tent.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the bright moon and stars appeared in the night sky instead of the setting sun.

Of course, Nangong Yue's tent couldn't entertain so many guests, so she simply used the space in front of the tent and set up seven or eight tables. Daytime.

The female family members have held such open-air banquets in their gardens before, but it was the first time that the banquets were placed in this wilderness. Most of the people in Nanjiang were informal and sane, and they all praised Nangong Yue's idea one by one, and even some ladies began to suggest that they might as well drink the wine to Mingyue.

Nangong Yue responded with a smile. Anyway, Xiao Yi prepared a lot of bamboo wine, which is not easy to get drunk, and can also relax the muscles and activate the collaterals, and nourish the qi and blood.

The atmosphere at the banquet became more lively and casual with the drinking. The female relatives had drinks, meals, and jokes...

"Sister-in-law, this bamboo tube is mellow and sweet, and it exudes a faint bamboo fragrance, which is very elegant." Xiao Fei put down the wine glass in her hand and said, her cheeks were stained by the alcohol, adding a bit of blush, it seemed a little more The beauty of the girl's family.

Sister Fei has really grown up. Nangong Yue's heart moved, and she lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Sister Fei, what did you do today?" Nangong Yue's eyes shone brightly. What she actually wanted to ask was, what kind of son does Xiao Fei like?

Xiao Fei said with a serious face: "Sister-in-law, my riding skills are not good. Today, I practiced riding with Bai Zhou and Taoyao for a while. Later, I went to go boating in the nearby lake... Sister-in-law, it is not far from this camp. There is Mingye Lake a mile away, half of it is surrounded by mountains, the scenery is beautiful, it is very suitable for boating and swimming, why don't you go with me tomorrow, sister-in-law."

Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue with burning eyes, and thought to herself: Anyway, eldest brother left with his father for something, so he might not be able to come back tomorrow. Also, she can accompany her sister-in-law to travel around the mountains and waters, recite poems, play the piano and paint, and then she will live up to this wonderful landscape!

Looking at Xiao Fei's serious face, Nangong Yue felt both amusing and helpless. Hey, sister Fei, I haven't realized it yet.

It's rare that there are so many sons in the mansion, and Sister Fei doesn't care, so she can only help her pay attention. Nangong Yue thought to herself.

At this time, Mrs. Yao said with a smile: "Prince Concubine, Miss Xiao is right, then Mingye Lake is indeed a good view. Today, Mrs. Tian and I also went for a walk by the lake."

Mrs. Tian agreed and followed Mrs. Yao's suggestion: "Princess Shizi, I have an idea. Why don't we have a spring banquet at Mingye Lake tomorrow?"

When she said this, the ladies and girls around all lit up and whispered. Since I came out to play, of course I wanted to make some tricks to make it fun.

Mrs. Yao looked around the crowd for half a circle, and continued: "When the time comes, let the boys come back with some game, and the girls will..." The girls are only responsible for eating, and it seems that there is something missing. Mrs. Yao didn't think of her idea for a while.

Nangong Yue thought about it, Madam Yao's idea was a blind date feast in the final analysis, but it was not as elegant as the eldest Princess Yuncheng's feast. But this is the southern border, and the southern border should naturally have the characteristics of the southern border.

This idea is actually good. She was worried that she didn't know how to find a chance to show Xiao Fei, but now the opportunity came to her.

The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched, she glanced at Xiao Fei quickly, and then suggested with a smile: "It's better to let the girls and the young masters cooperate to go hunting together, even if they live up to the name of this spring hunt." Saying that, she looked at Mrs. Yao, "Mrs. Yao, let's prepare the lucky draw and wait for it to be eaten."

The last sentence made many ladies laugh, and one of them immediately echoed boldly: "Prince Concubine Shi is right. We are usually busy at our own house like a spinning top. It's rare to come out, and it's our turn to be good. Take a break."

For a time, ladies and gentlemen, you responded with every word I said, and my heart was moved.

Those girls also have shining eyes, most of them are a little shy, but they are more looking forward to it.

In this lively and lively atmosphere, the time and place of the Spring Banquet were fixed, and the night gradually deepened...

After the banquet was over, the female relatives retreated one after another. The night was quiet, and everyone fell into a deep sleep. Only the bright moon and the stars in the sky looked at the few people who were running all the way below.

Under the leadership of Wang Huwei, Xiao Yi and his party galloped all the way in the direction of Luo Yue City.

After running with all his strength for more than two hours, Wang Huwei raised his voice and said, "My lord, Shizi, Houye, it's just a mile ahead."

Under the darkness of the night, the surrounding area is dark, and their luck is not bad. Tonight, the moon and stars are sparse, and the moonlight illuminates the way forward for them, but it is still difficult to recognize where they are at the moment, but, for Wang Huwei. Yan, this area is deeply engraved in his heart like a knife...

Everyone clamped the horse's belly and galloped the horse faster.

"Ta Tata..."

In less than a quarter of an hour, a looming fire was seen in front of him, and it became clearer and clearer. A bonfire was burning on the roadside, like a bright light in the sea. Beside the bonfire, there was a black lacquered flat roof. The carriage, there were two men standing beside the carriage, one was Feng Weiwei, and the other was Laolu, the coachman.

Although they are waiting here, there is nothing to do, but how dare the two of them have a rest, and how can they have the mood to rest, they have been counting the hours and waiting for the news from King Zhennan, but after waiting and waiting, counting the time, I always feel that Wang Huwei should have come back, but no one has come...

While the two of them were waiting anxiously, they finally heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, getting closer and louder... Soon they saw more than a dozen people rushing here with torches and horses. , headed by the King of Zhennan, the eldest son, Xiao Yi, and—

An Yi Hou!

Feng Huwei was astonished in his heart: Why did the Marquis of Anyi come with him. This matter is also a family affair of Zhennan Wangfu... Or is it that this matter is not that simple? !

Under Feng Huwei's astonished gaze, King Zhennan and his party had already reached a few feet away, and they all turned over and dismounted.

Feng Huwei and the groom took two steps forward tremblingly, clasped their fists and saluted: "I have seen the prince, the prince, the prince."

King Zhennan didn't even look at the two of them, his eyes fell directly on the carriage behind him. At this moment, he felt regretful, angry, and mixed with a little sadness.

"Aunt Mei...but in the car?" King Zhennan's voice was a little dry.

Feng Huwei became even more nervous, and replied, "Yes, my lord. My subordinates dare not touch Concubine Mei's body without permission."

Aunt Mei is the woman of King Zhennan, even if it is a corpse, it is not something that these men can touch at will. Fortunately, the weather has not been too hot recently, otherwise Feng Huwei really worried that the corpse would emit a corpse odor after being kept for a long time.

King Zhennan asked Feng and Wang guards in a deep voice, "You two tell me the story of what happened again to this king!"

The two guards responded respectfully, and then pointed to a big tree on the side of the road. When they got to the back, the little maid Lancao explained how the assassin rushed into the carriage and stabbed Aunt Mei to death...

King Zhennan's face was sinking like water, his suspicious eyes swept towards Xiao Yi again, and then he waved his arms and said, "Search around for this king to see if there are any clues?!"

"Yes, my lord." The accompanying guards hurriedly clasped their fists in unison, and then dispersed.

King Zhennan, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were left standing aside, no one spoke, only the sound of bonfires and torches burning, and the sound of guards searching around, they even even the big tree where the assassin lurked. never let go...

After a while, the guards came one after another, and they came to report, but they all found nothing.

King Zhennan's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that the two assassins really came and went without a trace?

Thinking about it, King Zhennan looked around, his eyes fell on the black lacquered flat-top carriage, and his eyes sank. No, he couldn't believe that the assassin didn't leave a clue!

King Zhennan strode towards the carriage, several guards beside him hurriedly followed, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai glanced at each other, and the two followed.

The groom respectfully opened the curtains of the carriage, and the smell of blood mixed with the faint smell of corpse rushed to his face. King Zhennan couldn't help but frown deeply, and at a glance, he saw Aunt Mei lying in a pool of blood.

At this moment, the blood flowing on the carriage had turned dark red, and Concubine Mei's pink-purple robe had been stained red by the blood, which was shocking. Her face was pale, and she was no longer as rosy as she was in her lifetime. Her once radiant black pupils had long since lost their former brilliance and had become as turbid as a dead fish. Before his death, he suffered great pain, and it seemed that he had great grievances that he wanted to appeal.

King Zhennan was heartbroken when he saw that the concubine who used to be nephrite and warm and fragrant and the child in her womb had just lost two lives and turned into cold corpses.

He got into the carriage, covered her dead eyes, and was about to go down again, but suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eyes.

This is……

King Zhennan narrowed his eyes, and impatiently grabbed Concubine Mei's right hand, which was half below him, and saw her pale and cold Su holding a golden token tightly in her hand.

The token is engraved with complex patterns, with an eagle head mark and three words in the middle:

Bixiao Hall.

These three words stuck in the eyes of King Zhennan like needles.

His pupils shrank, and his angry eyes shot at Xiao Yi. If eyes could kill, Xiao Yi would have been slashed by a thousand swords.

"Nizi! What else do you have to say?!"

King Zhennan got off the horse and threw the token in his hand on the ground.

With a "clang" sound, the brass token fell to the ground and shook a few times, making a crisp sound.

All the guards' eyes fell on the token and took a deep breath. This token is the token of the bodyguard of Bixiaotang. Aunt Mei held this token tightly before she died, doesn't it mean...

The guards didn't dare to think about it any longer, they were all silent.

In the face of King Zhennan's thunderous anger, Xiao Yi was still careless, glanced at the token on the ground, and said, "Father, it's just killing a weak woman, and leaving evidence, father is too small for me, Bi Are you from Xiaotang?"

Xiao Yi's words were sarcastic, but they were also true.

The guards around listened to it, and they agreed with it, but these words could not be said in front of King Zhennan.

"Nizi, the evidence is conclusive, you still want to argue!"

King Zhennan's heart is getting stronger and stronger, like a volcano about to erupt. He had known for a long time that this rebel didn't take himself seriously, especially after the rebel's victories and the growing prestige in the southern border, he became even more domineering.

Xiao Yi looked at King Zhennan with a half-smile, and said lightly: "Since the father doesn't believe me, just ask Zu Zuo to come over."

Do it? ! King Zhennan was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed like a knife.

The ugliness cannot be made public. If this is called Zu Zuo, wouldn't it be impossible to hide it?

In other words, it is not a private matter of the palace, but a murder case!

When he thought that the family affairs of the palace had become a topic of conversation in Luoyue city after tea and dinner, King Zhennan's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water, and he said, "No way..." This idiot is shameless, and the palace of Zhennan has to be ashamed!

Xiao Yi did not shy away from looking directly at King Zhennan, and the eyes of the father and son collided again, filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Father, my son considers himself to be upright and upright. Today I just want to find out the truth and return my son's innocence." As Xiao Yi said, he deliberately looked at Guan Yubai and said, "Master Hou, come and judge. , This prince wants to find out the real murderer, is it wrong?"

Bullshit! What a joke! King Zhennan was about to roar, but was grabbed by Guan Yubai.

"Your Highness." Guan Yubai's voice was gentle and gentle, with the power to soothe people's hearts, "I thought that human life is at stake, and the clues point directly to the prince, which is even more important, so it's better to find out."

King Zhennan's lips pursed into a straight line, and Marquis Anyi said that he was in charge, but the reputation of the palace... That's all, since even this ruthless rebel doesn't care about his own reputation, what's he afraid of!

King Zhennan sneered at Xiao Yi: "Check! If you don't find out today, this king will not give up!"

The words in his voice were sonorous and powerful, as if ice slag was about to fall out.

Xiao Yi's face was indifferent, but Zhu Xing, who was beside him, couldn't help feeling distressed for his eldest son. Listening to the prince's tone, he clearly knew in his heart that this was what the eldest son did. The so-called "father and son" have no basic trust. Hey, fortunately, Shi Ziye, Shizi Concubine, and Fang's grandfather...will have their own flesh and blood in the future!

Xiao Yi directly instructed: "Zhu Xing, you go to Luoyue City and ask Zu Zuo to come over. Also, since Aunt Mei is pregnant, go and ask a woman to come over."

"Yes, Lord Shizi." Zhu Xing respectfully accepted the order, and then mounted his horse and left. Zhu Xing left, but the atmosphere was more solemn, and it was about to explode.

Time passed by little by little, and it seemed particularly long. After more than half an hour, Zhu Xing and the others finally came back, bringing back a middle-aged man with a goatee and a carriage with a green hood. A pale, embarrassed woman.

Both Zuzuo and Wen Po were a little trembling. After they stepped forward to salute King Zhennan and Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi immediately ordered that Zuzuo to go for an autopsy.

On the way here, Zuo Zuo had already heard Zhu Xing say that this corpse was the concubine of King Zhennan. He glanced at King Zhennan in fear, and saw that although his face was sinking like water, he did not object, so he bowed his head and got into the carriage.

What followed was a moment of silence, except for the rustling sound of Zuzuo playing with the corpse.

Even if Concubine Mei died, she was still the woman of King Zhennan. Zuo Zuo didn't dare to examine her in depth. She simply checked her mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, as well as the fatal wound on her chest... Even a layman could tell that this was the case. With a knife piercing the heart, the moment the murder weapon was pulled out, the deceased stopped breathing and died instantly.

Zuo Zuo got out of the carriage in a short while, and cautiously and cautiously told King Zhennan and Xiao Yi: "Your Highness, Shizi, the fatal wound is on the left chest. The person who came here is ruthless, and he will kill Concubine Mei with one knife. Look at the wound, The murder weapon should be a long knife, and the time of the deceased's murder is about from Yinshi to Maoshi..."

"That's all?" King Zhennan still frowned. What Zuzuo said, Wang Huwei and Lancao had already reported to him. If Zuzuo saw it, it would be vain. There was no further clues or evidence at all.

Seeing that King Zhennan saw the cold sweat on his forehead, he could only say, "Your Highness, forgive Xiao Xiao's incompetence." This meant that he could only find out these things.

At this time, Xiao Yiman casually said to the woman on the side: "Wen Po, the deceased is pregnant, you can go and show this son whether she is pregnant with a boy or a girl?" After a pause, he looked at Zhen Zhen. King Nan, said slowly, "Let my father think I'm going to harm my 'young brother'." He raised his voice meaningfully.

"Shame!" The corner of King Zhennan's mouth twitched, and he finally couldn't help it. He scolded angrily, "Reverse... Do you think that the face of the palace is not enough?"

Both Zuo Zuo and Wen Po swallowed their saliva, and until this moment, they finally knew what was going on. It turned out to be a private affair of the palace...

This matter involves Grandpa Shi, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle.

Both Zuo Zuo and Wen Po feel that they are really unlucky, as if there are two mountains on their backs, one is the King of Zhennan, and the other is Xiao Yi, the eldest son.

Granny Wen looked at Zhennan Wang and his son in embarrassment and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Why are you standing still? Why don't you go test it soon?" Xiao Yi said impatiently.

Anyway, I lost my face today because I lost my face, and King Zhennan didn't want to pay attention to it anymore, so he stood aside coldly.

Seeing that the son-in-law was so reckless, Mrs. Zhennan had no objection and could only take orders. She whispered to the maid Lancao Aunt Mei's belly for a few months, and Lancao answered truthfully.

It's just over two months? !

Granny Wen's head was so big, she just sighed in her heart: "Hey, how can I test this!"

She took the maid Lancao and got on the carriage...

The surroundings became quiet again, and it was not until after a cup of tea that Granny Wen got off the carriage. Her expression was extremely complicated.

"My lord, Shizi," Madam Wen walked in front of the crowd, bent her knees a little stiffly, and glanced at King Zhennan's face again, and then replied, "This Aunt Mei is not pregnant."
