"Then please ask King Jing to conduct an autopsy in person." Xiaozhu cupped his hands beside him, his voice cold.
Eunuch Tong stared at her from the side, with a sinister smile on his face, and his voice was as thin as a woman's: "This girl looks so familiar."
Xiaozhu smiled coldly and ignored him.
"Your Majesty, let's go and do an autopsy. If the princess dies, then we will meet a ghost alive!" Eunuch Tong swept away the dust and said to Liu Huo.
"Please." Liu Fan said calmly, leading them to the carriage where the woman's body was parked.
"Jing Wang, please look carefully. If there are any slanders after the princess is buried, it will be the prince's fault." Xiao Zhu opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Liu Huo to get on the carriage to check. Just as Liu Huo was about to step up, Xiao Zhu was cold again.
He said: "The princess has been dead for many days, and her bones cannot rest in peace. My lord, please be careful of evil spirits invading your body."
Liuhuo couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, then sneered: "I am a prince, how can a mere evil influence attack me?" He cheered up, got into the carriage, reached out and lifted the brocade quilt covering the woman's body, and took a look.
Then he frowned.
"It seems like it's really her." The young father-in-law who followed him was equally confused.
Liuhuo stretched out his hand, touched the face of the corpse, then touched her behind the ear, and whispered: "It's not a human skin mask. That's strange. Could it be that he died later?" He looked back at Eunuch Tong, Eunuch Tong.
I can't explain why.
"My lord, are you sure?" Xiaozhu urged him coldly from outside the carriage.
Liu Huo was unwilling to give in, and bravely took out the corpse's hand from the brocade quilt, and touched the pulse point of her wrist. After a while, she finally shook her head in disappointment: "It's really dead."
"Your Majesty, let's go back." Eunuch Tong helped Liu Huo get out of the carriage.
Liu Fan stood not far from the carriage, still looking calm, and asked: "Brother Emperor, are you satisfied?"
Liu Huo was speechless, and he and Eunuch Tong got on their horses, took his men and horses and turned away, heading towards the imperial capital.
Watching them walk away, Liu Fan finally couldn't hold it any longer, grabbed Xiao Zhu and used voice transmission to enter the secret and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiaozhu smiled slightly and answered via voice transmission: "Your Highness forgot to cheat his death."
"But how did you find Lianyi?" Liu Fan was surprised.
"We met the master. This method was the master's idea. The master brought Lianyi here to take poison and lay her in the coffin. At night, the master will come and steal her secretly." Xiaozhu answered.
Liu Fan nodded slightly, feeling a stone fall in his heart.
As drums and drums played in the cemetery, Luo Lianyi's body was carried into the cemetery. She was dressed in a princess costume and covered with flowers. The mage gathered around her and chanted sutras for salvation. After dark, she was moved into the coffin by the mage. When the coffin was closed,
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the cold cemetery was filled with waves of pine trees. The night was dim and the lights were dim. The mages couldn't help but look at each other.
Another gust of cold wind blew by. Everyone present was tilted by the cold wind and covered their eyes with their sleeves. After hearing the coffin bang, the wind stopped instantly and the surroundings were so quiet as if nothing happened.
"What's going on?" someone asked in horror.
"The coffin closed on its own."
"Hurry up and take her to the mausoleum for burial. Maybe the princess is angry."
The wizards gathered around the coffin and muttered some words, then hurriedly carried it to the mausoleum.
At this moment, Luo Lianyi was already in Mu Shi's arms, a few miles away from the cemetery, heading to Sanqing Taoist Temple. Liu Fan and Xiao Zhu did not dare to leave in a hurry, and stayed patiently waiting at the cemetery for half the night. After everything was settled,
Then he dismissed his attendants and hurried back to the Taoist temple.
They used Qinggong and arrived at the evening of the second day after a three-day journey. When Liu Fan ran into the Taoist temple, Luo Lianyi was leaning on the corridor and looking at him from a distance.
"Lianyi!" Liu Fan suddenly felt a sense of separation. He rushed over, ignoring his master and Xiaozhu, and hugged Luo Lianyi tightly in his arms.
When Mu Shi and Xiao Zhu faced them, they both hesitated to speak and looked worried.
After dinner, everyone sat together and wanted to talk, but they were all preoccupied. After a while of silence, they each went back to their rooms to rest, but everyone couldn't sleep.
Lu Fan's mind was filled with the image of his father, and the image of Luo Lianyi lying in a coffin while pretending to be dead. It was complicated, chaotic, and full of melancholy. He simply got up and walked outside, leaning on the railing and looking at the lights in Luo Lianyi's room.
Luo Lianyi didn't sleep either. She was so confused about her future that she couldn't think anymore. She could only focus on the pile of books on martial arts moves given to her by Taoist Master Mu Shi, hoping that one day they would come in handy and help him.
Xiaozhu stood in front of the window, looking at the prince standing by the railing from a distance, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, he didn't know how long it had passed, he remained motionless, and so did she. The snow was falling heavily, silently.
His breath was flying, and he saw that the pile on the railing was getting thicker and thicker. Xiaozhu finally walked to the door, opened it and walked out.
"Your Highness." She walked up behind him quietly.
Liu Fan seemed to wake up from his meditation and looked back at her.
"You haven't had a good rest these days, go back to your room." Xiaozhu said softly.
Liu Fan glanced at Luo Lianyi again and said, "Go over and let her go to bed early."
"Yes." Xiaozhu agreed. She watched Liu Fan enter the house and walk to Luo Lianyi's room.
"Princess." She called her softly from outside the door.
"Xiao Zhu? Come in quickly." Luo Lianyi heard Xiao Zhu's voice and quickly put down the book, jumped out of bed and ran over to open the door. Xiao Zhu looked back at Liu Fan and ducked into the room.
"Are you having a hard time these days?" Xiao Zhu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Luo Lianyi and asked.
Luo Lianyi smiled slightly and nodded.
"Do you understand my worries now?" Xiaozhu asked.
Luo Lianyi pondered and sighed heavily. "Now that things have happened, where should I go?"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince turns against the Emperor for you, is framed by King Jing, and loses everything he owns, even his life, will you feel guilty and painful?" Xiaozhu's voice was a little cold.
Luo Lianyi lowered her head, feeling confused. If he lost everything for her, of course she would feel guilty and painful. She didn't want him to be like this.
"If the emperor throws away the foundation of Xiling for generations and puts the people of Xiling in dire straits for you, will you feel guilty and painful?" Xiaozhu continued to ask, his eyes a bit aggressive.
Luo Lianyi looked at her and didn't understand what she wanted to do. Her situation was not what she wanted. Everything was caused by traveling here in a daze and then being forced. Now she can't escape, has nowhere to hide, and can't survive.
Life, death or death, even if she pressed her again, what could she do?
"Xiao Zhu, it seems that the only choice I have is death." She pulled out the dagger Xiao Zhu gave her from her boot and handed it to Xiao Zhu. Since there is no way out, just let it disappear. She closed her eyes,
Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. She actually thought about leaving and wandering around the world alone. With her medical skills, she thought she could support herself, but the cinnabar between her eyebrows might reveal her identity at any time. She didn't even leave.
