Oil (1)
As for this missing persons case!
After investigating for two months, it was indeed a thorny problem.
Apart from the naked corpse, there was nothing else that mattered.
Was this piece of white cloth related to this case?
Ji Yunshu gathered her thoughts and looked at Jing Rong's chest. She asked, "Is your Highness's injury better?"
"Are you concerned about this prince?"
"Your Highness was injured to save me. How can I not be concerned?"
Jing Rong felt warmth in his heart. He raised his hand and patted his chest. "It's just a small injury. It won't kill you."
"…"
It was obviously a caring sentence, but Jing Rong's reply had a different meaning.
Jing Rong continued, "Put aside the case for now. Although time is pressing, your health is the most important thing. This prince's injury doesn't matter, but your injury must be taken care of. As for other matters, I will send someone to investigate."
"Other matters? What does your Highness mean? "
"The incident in Liang Mountain happened only a few hours ago. Do you think you can get away scot-free after injuring our people?"
"So …"
"In short, you don't need to worry about this matter. Recuperating is the most important thing. Don't leave a lasting illness. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to bear children in the future."
Wait …
Bear children?
Yes, Ji Yunshu was sure she didn't hear wrong.
Her eyes twitched and her neck tightened. She averted her gaze. "Your Highness, please watch your words."
Jing Rong didn't care. Instead, he was confused. "Why should I watch my words? You and I slept in each other's embrace. This is an indisputable fact. Since ancient times, a woman's chastity is the most important thing. This prince slept with you and kissed you naked. In the past, no one would be willing to marry you. Shouldn't you be laughing at this prince's humiliation? "
Hey, hey, hey!
You're a little arrogant!
If Ji Yunshu still had a trace of guilt and gratitude towards him, it was all gone.
It was said that the princes of ancient times were cold and arrogant. They cherished their words like gold and didn't even lust for women.
Unfortunately, Jing Rong was different.
Perhaps his chromosomes had changed when he was still an embryo.
Yes, that must be it!
Catching sight of Ji Yunshu's disdainful and helpless expression, Jing Rong smirked.
"This King said something wrong?"
No, no, no, you're always right.
Black lines appeared on her forehead. She stood up and looked at the plum tree in the courtyard that was swaying in the cold wind. "I will forget what happened last night. I also hope that Wangye can forget it. After all, before I entered the capital, I told Wangye that you are a Wangye and I am just a commoner."
"You don't have to remind This King again."
Jing Rong got up and took a step towards her.
But …
She took a step back, once again widening the distance between them. "Your Highness, since you've promised me, you should abide by it."
"What if I go back on my word?"
"Then I will leave the capital immediately."
She wasn't joking!
Jing Rong looked at her resolute expression and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He endured it with great difficulty, but a trace of bitterness gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He asked her, "It seems that in this world, only you can threaten this prince."
"…"
She quietly took another step back and averted her gaze. She was afraid that the indescribable emotion in her eyes would leak out and be seen by Jing Rong.
Seeing her like this, Jing Rong's heart sank.
"Why are you standing so far away? This King already said that I won't eat you. You are still injured, so sit down properly. "
As he spoke, Jing Rong took two steps forward and reached out to grab her arm, but Ji Yunshu had no choice but to take a few more steps back.
Although her speed was fast enough, the piece of white cloth in her hand was tightly grabbed by Jing Rong.
She panicked and loosened her grip. The white cloth fell from her fingertips and fell into Jing Rong's hand. The next moment, Jing Rong unexpectedly loosened his grip. The white cloth was blown away by the wind and fell into the nearby water wheel pond.
"Ah!"
Ji Yunshu was shocked. What if it was evidence and it got wet?
But it was too late!
The white cloth accurately fell into the water.
Jing Rong was also anxious. Just as he was about to pick up the white cloth, he was stopped by Ji Yunshu.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"Something's wrong!" She frowned and stared at the layer of oil floating on the water.
Seeing her like this, Jing Rong said, "Could it be that there's a problem with the oil?"
She nodded. Her face was filled with disgust and her brows were knitted together.
"I think I know how the murderer smuggled the victim out of the city."
Jing Rong was confused and didn't have time to react. Ji Yunshu immediately entered the room and came out with a sandalwood box.
She was very anxious. "I want to go to the Li Mansion immediately."
"Alright."
Jing Rong didn't ask any questions. He immediately ordered people to prepare a carriage and rushed to the Li Mansion.
On the way, Ji Yunshu told Jing Rong everything she had said to Li Shiyan.
At this moment, the Li Mansion was covered with white satin. Shuiqing's body had been brought back to the Li Mansion on the same day and would be buried the next day.
The servants of the mansion immediately went to inform Madame Jiang.
When Madame Jiang came out, her complexion looked a bit better. When she saw Jing Rong, she wanted to greet him, but she was stopped.
"No need. I came this time because I have an important matter to handle."
"Important matter? Did you find the murderer? "Madame Jiang's voice was hoarse.
Ji Yunshu stepped forward and explained the reason. "Madame Jiang, I know that Shuiqing will be buried tomorrow, but the situation is urgent. I hope you can allow me to examine Shuiqing's body again."
"No!"
The person who spoke was Li Zhao.
He quickly stepped forward with a fierce expression. His eyes were still filled with hatred when he looked at Ji Yunshu.
He firmly said, "I won't agree. Shuiqing's hands were chopped off and her stomach was cut open. Don't tell me you still don't think it's enough? Do you really want to dismember her into five pieces before you are satisfied? "
I'm wrongly accused!
Shuiqing's stomach was cut open by that heartless bastard. It had nothing to do with me, Ji Yunshu!
Since this mess had been thrown to her, she would have to take care of it.
I'm really wrongly accused!
However, she was too lazy to explain.
She only said, "Young Master Li, Shuiqing was killed. Don't you want to find the murderer? I just want to take a piece of her flesh to verify it. I don't want to damage her body. " “
"No! I said no means no!" Li Zhao's face turned red.
Jing Rong wasn't a wishy-washy person. He said to Madame Jiang, "Madame Jiang, although this Prince can't use my authority to order you, if you really don't want to find the murderer, then forget it."
Madame Jiang hesitated.
Li Zhao, who was standing at the side, quickly pulled her and said, "Big Sister, you can't agree!"
"Shuiqing is already dead. If we can't find the murderer, what's the use of keeping her body?" Madame Jiang sighed. She looked at Ji Yunshu and nodded. "The body is in the backyard. Come with me."
"Big Sister …"
Madame Jiang ignored Li Zhao's obstruction and led the way. She brought Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong to the funeral hall in the backyard.
