Luo pursed her lips and tightened her hands hidden under her sleeves. She said, "His Royal Highness, of course, has His Highness's plans. Everyone in the Yulou girl is dead, so why would she do such an inhumane thing?"
Shen Fengxu said calmly: "Stop talking, either let me take Shen Yulou's body away today, or don't leave."
The chamberlains immediately looked at each other, and one of them hurriedly said: "Mr. Minhe, please don't embarrass us slaves. We are all following orders. His Royal Highness asked the slaves to take the body out, and the slaves have to obey." .”
Luo Shi frowned and said to the servants: "You should leave quickly."
As if they had received amnesty, the chamberlains were about to leave with their straw mats, but Shen Fengxu stepped forward and stopped in front of the chamberlains: "Stop! I don't care whose orders you are following, Shen Yulou is Dong Ningbo I will definitely take the people from the government back!"
Shen Fengxu's tone was very domineering, with an air of no doubt, which momentarily made the servants freeze on the spot.
Ming Shu stood aside and looked at Shen Fengxu, with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.
After Shen Fengxu said that, he turned to look at Luo, with cold eyes, and said: "Princess, what are your intentions in letting them take Shen Yulou away in such a hurry? Or is it that the Crown Princess already knows that they are dragging her away?" It’s not Shen Yulou who is here at all? It’s just to help His Royal Highness cover it up!”
Shen Fengxu never believed that Shen Yulou would commit suicide. Shen Yulou would definitely try his best to save himself. He would never sit back and wait for death or risk his own life.
However, the Crown Prince Ming Cheng and the Crown Princess Luo Shi insisted on taking away Shen Yulou's body. I'm afraid they had something hidden, and Shen Fengxu was determined to find out.
In the past, Shen Fengxu might not have dared to go against the crown prince so blatantly, but now she is the Queen Mother's personally appointed Duke of Minhe County, the adopted daughter of Princess Ning, and with Ming Shu by her side, she naturally has nothing to fear. of.
Luo was left speechless by Shen Feng's questioning. She hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Minhe, when I came to Qin Tianjian, I have been with you all the time. I have never been to any place at all. Could it be that I What else can I do?"
"That's impossible to say." Shen Fengxu didn't give Luo any face at all. She said coldly, "Does the Crown Princess know my eldest sister better than I do? The person in this straw mat will definitely not be my eldest sister. If today If you don't let me see clearly, don't even think about leaving."
Ming Shu also stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say that Shen Yulou cannot be taken away, right?"
At this time, Ming Yan stood aside, slightly silent.
Luo Shi was anxious for a moment. He turned his head and saw that Ming Yan was silent. Thinking about the relationship between Ming Yan and Shen Yulou, he asked Ming Yan for help and said: "Your Highness, Miss Yulou sacrificed her life for the sake of her family and country, how can she accept it?" Such humiliation? Please give Minhe Junjun some advice."
If Ming Yan really loved Shen Yulou with all his heart, he would not be willing to let others do such a thing.
Ke Mingyan showed hesitation on his face.
He did like Shen Yulou, but it was only because of that face that brought disaster to the country and the people. He more or less hoped to find out what happened today. If it were just him, he would naturally not want to have more trouble with Ming Cheng. , but now that Shen Fengxu is here, there is no need for him to come forward in person.
So after hesitating for a while, Ming Yan said: "Miss Yulou is the eldest sister of Minhe Junjun. It is natural for Minhe Junjun to make this request. The Crown Princess should not stop it."
Luo: "..."
Why is this different from what she imagined? Shouldn't Ming Yan try his best to protect Shen Yulou?
Chen Fengxu smiled slightly: "Princess, is there anything else you want to say?"
Luo knew that Shen Fengxu would not give up if he could not see the person in the straw mat, but Luo also knew clearly that if Shen Fengxu was allowed to see what happened, something big might happen.
After a moment of hesitation, Luo Shi immediately spoke and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. In that case, I will let the prince come and make a decision."
As she spoke, she turned around and ordered people to invite the prince.
Shen Fengxu's eyes were cold. Whether it was the prince or someone else, she had to see it in person today. If Shen Yulou was really dead, she would also personally inspect Shen Yulou's body.
"Jun Minhe, this is the palace after all. It's cold and gloomy in the corridor, so why don't we go out first and talk about it later." Luo suggested, "I've already sent people to invite the prince. It won't be too late to discuss it when the prince comes."
But Shen Fengxu rejected Luo's proposal: "No, just wait here. Tonight is the New Year's Eve banquet, and the palace door will not release the key, so there is no need to rush out."
Luo Shi wanted to argue, but then she thought about it. Shen Fengxu was now the Lord of Minhe County, and she had Mingshu supporting her. If Shen Fengxu insisted on doing this, she couldn't change anything, so she could only keep silent.
So in the corridor, several people stood waiting for the prince to come.
The servants were uneasy, each holding a corner of the straw mat and looking at each other. However, since the corridor was full of nobles from the capital, they had no choice but to wait silently.
Shen Fengxu and Mingshu stood on one side. Shen Fengxu's eyes were on the straw mat from beginning to end, never leaving for a moment.
Mingshu couldn't help but ask: "Do you really think there is something fishy about Shen Yulou's death?"
Shen Fengxu nodded and said very confidently: "Of course I know who Shen Yulou is. She can die, but she will never commit suicide, let alone commit suicide in such an obscure way in a prison."
How to fake death in prison?
Ming Shu didn't know, but seeing Shen Fengxu's behavior, he believed it a little bit and said, "Then we can tell the difference when the prince comes later."
Hearing this, Chen Fengxu sighed deeply.
"What's wrong? The little girl seems to be in a bad mood?" Ming Shu blinked.
Chen Fengxu glanced at him, emphasized the pronunciation of the words and said, "I am Lord Minhe, not some little girl."
Mingshu waved his hand indifferently: "Absolutely."
Shen Fengxu: "..."
She turned her head, looked in the direction of the straw mat again, and asked vaguely: "Don't you have any clues about the previous case?"
The dead appeared in midsummer, but now it is New Year's Eve, and except for very little news, there is no progress.
"No." Ming Shu said with a thoughtful look on his face, "But there have been no similar deaths recently. I think the murderer has stopped or fled the capital."
Shen Fengxu stopped talking and only looked in the direction of the straw mat. She was afraid that others would take advantage of this time to do something, so she kept her gaze there without leaving it for a moment.
Seeing Shen Fengxu acting like this, Ming Shu stopped talking.
There was silence in the long and deep corridor, except for the cold wind that kept bringing a chill, making people feel chilly in their hearts.
Chen Fengxu tightened his sleeves slightly.
Mingshu looked at Shen Fengxu and asked, "Do you feel cold?"
Shen Fengxu shook his head: "It's acceptable."
"You can go back first and I'll check it out for you." Ming Shu said softly, "Don't get cold."
There was a hint of concern in his tone.
Chen Fengxu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ming Shu, as if he suddenly realized something, and said, "His Royal Highness, why are you here?"
This question was probably too baffling, and Mingshu was a little confused. He said, "Didn't I come with you? What's wrong?"
"No, it's just..." Shen Fengxu said, stopped again, paused, and continued, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I want to check this matter myself."
Somehow, his tone suddenly became a little more alienated, as if he was staying away from Ming Shu. But as the words fell, Chen Fengxu tightened his sleeves.
She just suddenly remembered that now she had nothing to do with Ming Shuben. In this life, she was no longer Prince Ning's concubine, and Ming Shuben did not need to appear here to help her.
But Mingshu is still here.
She didn't think Mingshu liked her. It was probably because she was Princess Ning's adopted daughter and the reigning Minhe County Lord, so Mingshu did this.
Shen Fengxu: "..."
What is she thinking!
The top priority now is obviously to check whether Shen Yulou faked his death!
Ming Shu probably didn't notice the slight changes in Shen Fengxu, and just said: "That's fine, let's take a look later."
After that, there was another moment of silence.
Until not long after, a chamberlain said: "The prince has arrived!"
Shen Fengxu raised his eyes and saw Prince Ming Cheng, dressed in black clothes, walking in. His body was decorated with silver patterns, and his whole person exuded a cool aura.
He glanced around and saw the straw mats on the ground and several people standing in the corridor. He didn't speak for now, but waved to Luo Shi. Seeing this, Luo Shi stepped forward.
Ming Cheng held Luo Shi's hand, turned around and asked her softly: "Long'er, what happened?"
He called Luo's maiden name, his voice gentle and low, which seemed to have endless affection, which made people feel at ease.
A faint crimson color appeared on Luo's face. She lowered her head and said, "Mr. Minhe is determined to take away the body of Miss Yulou."
But somehow, the ending is tinged with sadness.
They were separated as husband and wife, but in front of outsiders, they were always so harmonious and loving. Only at such times would Ming Cheng be so gentle to her.
Luo Shi really admired Ming Cheng.
She knew that Ming Cheng didn't like her at all, but for show, he didn't even have any concubines in the East Palace. Even though Ming Cheng disliked her and disliked her, he always pretended to be in love with her.
But……
She still loves Ming Cheng.
After hearing Luo's words, Ming Cheng looked at Shen Fengxu, looked him up and down, and then asked with a smile: "Why is Lord Minhe like this?"
"My eldest sister will never commit suicide." Shen Fengxu didn't hide anything and said straight to the point, "The person in this straw mat cannot be my eldest sister. What does His Highness the Crown Prince want?"
Ming Cheng had a look of surprise on his face: "Why...why did the commander say this? Shen Yulou committed suicide in the prison. The prison is so powerful. Is there anyone who can cheat in it?"
Shen Fengxu's tone was calm: "Others can't do it, but His Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to do it."
This sentence is already very dangerous.
Even Ming Yan looked at Shen Fengxu with a bit of hesitation in his eyes. He suddenly regretted that he was in trouble with Shen Fengxu. It was naturally difficult to get along with such a person.
Ming Cheng's face also darkened: "Jun Minhe, what do you mean by this?"
There was a sense of danger in his tone, and as he spoke, the air around him seemed to become a bit colder, with a breathtaking chill.
Mingshu stepped forward, smiled slightly, and said, "Not only Lord Minhe thinks so, I think so too. Your Highness, what do you think?"
He blocked Shen Fengxu behind him and looked at Ming Cheng calmly and leisurely, not afraid of Ming Cheng.
After looking at each other, Ming Cheng also smiled, and the condensation in the air seemed to disappear in an instant.
There is no benefit in going against Ming Shu.
Mingshu was the eldest son of Prince Ning and was not qualified to compete for the throne, but he could suddenly change the situation, so Mingcheng quickly gave in.
Without any hesitation, he said: "Since my cousin is suspicious, let's take a look."
With that said, he said to the chamberlains who were dragging the straw mats: "Hurry up and lift the straw mats."
Shen Fengxu was slightly surprised.
She never thought that Ming Cheng would give in so neatly, but she didn't think that Ming Shu had such power.
But now is not the time to think about that.
The servants lifted up the straw mat as instructed, and the person lying on it was undoubtedly Shen Yulou.
At this time, that delicate and beautiful face had no expression at all. It was just lying there, as pale as a piece of white paper, and the whole person was quiet and silent.
Shen Fengxu couldn't help but fell silent.
When Ming Yan saw Shen Yulou's body, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He was originally targeting Shen Fengxu for Shen Yulou, but he didn't expect that in the end, Shen Yulou became a witch who brought disaster to the country.
Mingshu gently tugged on Shen Fengxu's sleeves and said, "Little girl, what do you say now?"
Chen Fengxu shook his head and stepped forward.
Ming Cheng frowned: "Jun Minhe, if you do something to a dead person, wouldn't it be beneath your dignity?"
But Shen Fengxu ignored him, and instead walked to Shen Yulou's body and examined it carefully. Shen Yulou's body was completely cold, with no temperature, no breathing, and no heartbeat. It looked like he was dead. .
But Shen Fengxu always felt uneasy in his heart.
She knows Shen Yulou best.
It is absolutely impossible for Shen Yulou to commit suicide!
But now Shen Yulou's body is lying here, and there is absolutely no possibility of fraud.
Ming Cheng's tone was calm: "Master Minhe, do you have anything else to say? There is absolutely no way anyone can cheat in the prison."
Luo Shi also nodded in agreement: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wanted to bury the girl from Yulou, but Min and Junjun misunderstood it."
At this point, Shen Fengxu had no choice but to come back and salute Ming Cheng: "It was Min He who was reckless. Min He is also concerned about the safety of the eldest sister, and hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive him."
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no need to delay here." Ming Cheng nodded slightly, took Luo's hand, and said, "Let's go back early."
Luo Shi smiled slightly at Chen Fengxu: "Mr. Minhe, it's getting late. Go back and rest soon."
After saying that, he and Ming Cheng left together.
