Chapter 549 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3] 53

Chapter 549 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](53)

Zhenbei Palace.

Wei Changce, who had been kneeling in the snow for a day and a night, finally gained the wavering of Princess Wei.

She opened the door angrily and looked angrily at Wei Changce, whose shoulders were covered with snow.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Wei Changce's lips were turned purple from the cold, but he still clenched his fists hard and forced himself to gather his energy.

"Mom, I want to know, what happened to Mei'er?"

He still clearly remembers what Bai Yuming said at the palace banquet that night.

He couldn't sleep all night after returning.

There is always a thought in my heart shouting:

Meier is not dead, she is still alive.

But no matter how much he investigated these days, he still couldn't find out the slightest bit about her.

He doesn't understand.

If they were alive, how could anyone have no news at all?

He came to beg the princess because he was desperate.

"Mom, even if she is really dead, I still want to know where she is buried."

Wei Changce's voice was extremely low, but it was particularly loud in the vast snow.

His lowered eyes also revealed extraordinary perseverance.

The snow fell harder, threatening to swallow him up.

Princess Wei stood in the corridor, her angry look a little more moved.

Finally, she let out a long sigh.

"It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. That's all. I'll take you there and let you give up."

She turned and walked towards the back door.

Wei Changce also stood up and followed.

His numb knees were trembling, and he endured the cold, fearing that if he lost his mind, he would never find the trace of the princess again.

Princess Wei walked along the snow path to the back hill.

The Wei family has been in the army for generations, and countless soldiers in the Zhenbei Army die every year.

Those unknown corpses that had no family to look for were buried here by the Wei family, so they had a place to go.

Heavy snow has covered most of the hills, and many tombs are blurred in the snowy sky.

There was only a small grave mound, and the snow on it had been shoveled clean, as if it had just been piled up, and the soil was brand new.

Princess Wei pointed to the unnamed monument and said, "This is that girl's tomb. Now, you should be worried, right?"

Wei Changce stood in front of the grave and remained silent for a long time.

Princess Wei's cold voice sounded in his ears.

"After this year, the eldest princess's illness may be better. I will go to the Ministry of Ceremonies and ask them to renegotiate your marriage with the eldest princess. This time, you must pack your mind and prepare to marry the eldest princess. Those irrelevant things

Don’t think about any important people or things.”

Princess Wei's words contained a tone of command that brooked no resistance.

She took one last look at her son, tightened her cloak, turned and walked down the mountain.

The snow gradually stopped and the cold wind became lighter, but Wei Changce's body couldn't stop shaking.

He raised his already frozen hand and brushed away the fine snow on the nameless monument little by little, his eyes cold.

He just wants the truth.

Perhaps thinking of something, his hand holding the nameless monument tightened suddenly, and in the next second he pulled the entire monument up from the snow.

He used this wooden tablet to dig out the grave soil bit by bit.

The clouds have cleared and the fog has dispersed. It is already afternoon and the snow has melted quite a bit.

Most of the accumulated grave soil had been dug up by Wei Changce, revealing the dark coffin.

Wei Changce's feet collapsed, and he held on to the wooden monument and gasped for air.

Half of the previous eagerness turned into uneasiness.

He was afraid that there was a truth under this dark coffin that he didn't want to accept.

After calming down, he reached out his hand to the cold coffin.

With a force, the coffin lid was pushed open, and the miserable scene inside was exposed to his sight.

Wei Changce gritted his teeth and simply opened the entire coffin. Immediately afterwards, the sad body was exposed in the air.

The once beautiful face was now reduced to bones, completely unrecognizable.

His eyes lingered on the bones inch by inch.

Not an inch missing, not a centimeter missing.

This corpse's body shape is completely consistent with Mei'er's in every aspect.

Wei Changce's feet suddenly lost strength and he knelt directly among the graves.

But the moment he lowered his head, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly refocused.

He carefully looked at the bones in front of him, and finally discovered something suspicious.

It is indeed possible for an ordinary corpse to turn into bones in three or four months.

But it's winter now, and the rate of corpse decomposition is much slower than in other seasons.

It took just over three months of hard work to turn it into such clean bones.

As if to prove his suspicion, he hurriedly opened the lid of the coffin he had just lifted.

The nails on the coffin lid are usually driven in by carpenters, and it is generally difficult to open them easily without the aid of external objects.

But just now he pushed it away with just a little force.

There must be a problem in the meantime.

As expected, the rivets on the lid of the coffin were only weak and ineffective at fixing it.

Perhaps his mother had expected that he would open the coffin for an autopsy, so she deliberately did not secure the coffin and deliberately found a female corpse that had the exact same body shape as Meier.

After realizing this, Wei Changce cried with joy, and tears streaked down his frozen face.

Meier is indeed not dead.

But how could Bai Yuming know about Meier?

What on earth did he want to tell him?

After hastily restoring the tomb, Chang Ce hurried down the mountain.

Xi Feng was already waiting for him at the intersection. After seeing his figure, he immediately handed over a black fox cloak.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything all day. Go back to your room with your subordinates and have some hot food to warm up."

Wei Changce reached out and took the cloak and put it on his body, his eyes were bright and dark.

"No need, follow me to the palace. I have important matters to deal with."

He wants to see Liu Qiqi.

He wanted to ask her face to face what the truth was.



Guangming Palace.

After examination, the imperial doctor confirmed that the third princess and the second prince were poisoned by the same poison, and the source of the poison was the same red bean cake they had eaten.

After learning this result, Bai Yan was shocked.

"How is this possible? This red bean cake was made by Miss Liu herself. How could it be poisonous? Besides, Miss Liu is the most kind-hearted person. How could she poison me and the emperor?"

Bai Yuming watched her performance quietly without saying a word, only playing with a pair of blue and white porcelain cups on the table.

Hearing this, the eunuch who had previously identified Qing Lian spoke up.

"Princess, you know people but don't know their hearts. Miss Liu is now pregnant with the emperor's heir. For the future of her unborn child, she will definitely harm you and the Second Prince."

"You said just now that this red bean cake was made by Miss Liu herself and was given to her by herself. There was no manipulation in the process. Isn't this a definite fact?"

"If there is no complete evidence, how can it be a definite fact?"

A cold male voice suddenly sounded outside the palace door.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Wei Changce stepped in with his arms wrapped in wind and snow.

He was dressed in a black cloak and a golden crown on his head. He was full of youthful spirit, but also full of intimidation.

With just one sound, the originally restless crowd suddenly fell silent.
