Before he even entered the door, his nose smelled an extremely thick stench of blood.
The Crown Prince pushed the door open and saw Miss Wang, who had died with her eyes wide open.
"What's going on?"
The Crown Prince was enraged. He had planned everything. Why did Miss Wang die here?
"Have you confirmed the identity of that skinless corpse?"
Apart from Miss Wang's body, there was a pool of dark red blood on the ground.
What was more disgusting was that there was a woman's hair and perhaps some human skin mixed in the blood …
"There is a piece of clothing in this room that does not belong to Miss Wang. The guards identified it and found that it belongs to Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state. "
The Crown Prince's body trembled when he heard the guard's report.
The body found in the pool was obviously Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state.
Lin Mengya was ruthless!
Lin Mengya quietly took out an analgesic pill from the box and drank it with the wine.
Before she entered the room, she and Baisu quickly treated her injured hand.
She did not feel much earlier, but now her hand was in so much pain that she could not bear it any longer.
"Master, let's leave now. Your injury …"
Baisu's heart ached as she looked at her master, who was trying hard to bear the pain, but her face was pale.
"No, if we leave now, people will suspect us. But they don't have any solid evidence, so no one will know that we have anything to do with this. "
Lin Mengya hid her injured hand under her wide sleeves and tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, her bones and tendons were not injured, otherwise her hand would have been crippled.
Soon, the Crown Prince returned to the main hall of Chun 'en Palace.
He looked into Lin Mengya's eyes and realized that there was not a single flaw on her face.
Could it be that she had brought some helpers with her?
Otherwise, how could Ming Yue and Miss Wang die so tragically?
Or could it be that she was like Ming Yue, concealing her strength?
For the first time, the proud and arrogant Crown Prince felt a tinge of fear towards that beautiful woman.
"What happened, my son?"
The Empress was in charge of the main hall, so it would not be chaotic for a while.
Seeing that the Crown Prince was in a dilemma, the Empress casually turned her eyes to Lin Mengya.
It was just a glance, and it did not attract any attention at all.
The spy she had planted around the Crown Prince said that the Crown Prince wanted Lin Mengya dead.
So, she secretly gave the Crown Prince a push.
But now, it seemed that the Crown Prince's side was not the winner.
"Mother, a female corpse was found in the Clear Ripple Pond in the Imperial Garden. Her identity has been verified. She might be Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state. "
The Crown Prince's words instantly caused a huge uproar in the Chun 'en Hall.
Long Tianhao's eyes were fixed on Lin Mengya.
Ming Yue had wanted to harm Mengya for a long time.
Therefore, when the Crown Prince said that the person who died was Ming Yue, he felt that his princess must have something to do with it.
But, so what?
As long as he was here, he would be able to ensure her safety.
"What? My Yue Er is dead! Crown Prince, is what you said true?! "
King Ming looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief. Ming Yue, why did she die?
The Crown Prince knew that it was difficult to explain. Ming Yue was not Hu Lunan, she was the real princess of King Ming.
Moreover, she had been tortured to death in such a way.
"Now, it's just a suspicion. But … but the corpse has no skin, so we can't confirm her identity. "
A corpse without skin? The confirmed rumor instantly caused an uproar in the Chun 'en Hall.
"Who did it?"
King Ming took a deep breath and looked coldly at the Crown Prince.
Although they knew that Ming Yue had colluded with the Crown Prince, the Long Family had always been good at getting rid of the donkey when it was no longer of use.
"We don't know the details yet, but I've ordered the imperial guards to investigate. I believe that we will know soon whether it was Princess Ming Yue. "
The Crown Prince's face darkened, but he felt that Lin Mengya did not seem to be the one who killed this person.
After thinking about it, Lin Mengya was just a delicate girl.
Moreover, although her maidservant was skilled in martial arts, she was no match for Ming Yue.
It would not be easy for her to escape from Ming Yue, let alone skin Ming Yue and kill her.
Apart from her, who else would have such a deep grudge against Ming Yue?
"Fine, if this person is not Yue 'er, then I will let it go. But if it is Yue' er, the Crown Prince and the Queen will have to give me an explanation!"
King Ming had come with sincerity this time.
Unexpectedly, he had lost a son and a daughter.
King Ming was really angry, and even the Crown Prince and the Queen had to be careful when dealing with him.
"Don't worry, King Ming. If the person is really Princess Ming Yue, we will give you an explanation."
The Crown Prince could only try to appease King Ming. After all, if the person who died was really Princess Ming Yue, King Ming would be furious.
The Crown Prince exchanged an obscure look with the Queen.
Even if the person who died was Ming Yue, he could not say it directly.
Lin Mengya sat quietly in her seat, enjoying the wine in front of her.
At the end of the day, Ming Yue died because she and the Crown Prince had underestimated her power.
Fortunately, she had never revealed her poison skills in front of others.
Those who knew about it were all trustworthy people, so the Crown Prince and Ming Yue had only treated her as an ordinary opponent.
This time, there would be a good show to watch.
A skinless corpse had appeared in the Imperial Garden.
In an instant, there was a huge uproar in the Chun En Hall.
Everyone's face was filled with fear. This was the palace. Who had the guts to do that?
"Your Highness, Concubine De invites you to sit with her."
The people's hearts were in turmoil because of this bloody incident.
Concubine De was not confident, and the only thing she could do was to protect her son and daughter-in-law under her wing.
"Ya 'er, did you meet anyone when you went out?"
She held Lin Mengya's hand and placed her by her side.
Concubine De still had a lingering fear. Lin Mengya had gone out for a while, and now that she thought about it, it was a close call.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya shook her head and said,
"I was just resting in the side hall, and Baisu came with me, but I didn't see anyone."
However, Concubine De's sharp eyes saw Lin Mengya's hands hanging down.
Without batting an eyelid, Lin Mengya pulled up Lin Mengya's hands and pulled back her sleeves, only to find that her hands were tied with white bandages.
A sense of bewilderment flashed across his mind, and he looked at Lin Mengya with some doubt in his eyes.
"I see, I didn't expect something like this to happen in the palace. It has not been peaceful recently. "
Concubine De looked gloomy. What happened to Madame Wang in Prince Yu's Mansion was already horrifying.
Now, there was an even more serious one. Even though she had experienced many ups and downs, she still felt that these bloody and strange incidents were not a good sign.
"You're right, mother."
Lin Mengya and Concubine De did not attract any attention.
Long Tianhao was the only one who noticed Lin Mengya's abnormality.
Even if she was covered with rouge and makeup, her face was still a little too pale.
It was true that many people in the main hall had turned pale with fright. However, Lin Mengya did not look like a timid person.
What exactly happened?
"Whether it's Princess Ming Yue or not, I will give King Ming an explanation. It's getting late, you should all disperse."
The Empress already had an answer in her mind.
Unexpectedly, King Ming's children were all killed by Lin Mengya.
She was afraid that King Ming would fight with Lin Mengya to the death.
For the first time, she took Lin Mengya seriously.
She did not expect Lin Mengya to have such means. She had underestimated the daughter of the Lin family.
"Mother, we haven't found out who the murderer is. It doesn't seem good to let everyone go."
The Crown Prince couldn't wait to find out who this person was, but the Empress paid more attention to the overall situation than him.
If all the members of the royal family were detained in the palace in the name of investigating the case.
At that time, it would probably cause an even greater backlash.
"Don't worry about it. Every family's relatives will be staying in the capital for a while. If there's a need, you can summon them at any time."
Most people agreed with the Queen's words.
The Crown Prince had no choice but to obey the Queen's order.
"Concubine De, you stay. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Stay and catch up with me. "
The Queen suddenly turned to Concubine De, which made Lin Mengya's heart skip a beat.
What was the Queen up to by keeping Concubine De here?
"Yes, I will."
Concubine De looked a little reluctant and embarrassed.
It was the Queen who had driven her out of the palace. Now that something had happened, the Queen had strangely asked her to stay.
At that moment, some of the quick-witted people looked thoughtful.
Could this have something to do with Concubine De?
"Ya 'er, go back with Yu' er. I'll go back on my own after talking to the Queen. "
Concubine De patted her daughter-in-law's hand to tell Lin Mengya not to worry.
Long Tianhao strode to Lin Mengya's side and nodded at his mother.
The Queen would not be so kind, but he had to agree if she wanted to plot against his mother.
Lin Mengya followed Long Tianhao out of the Chun 'en Palace, looking back three times.
Most of the people were in a hurry.
Even Lin Mengya looked like she had something on her mind.
The eunuchs led the distinguished guests out of the palace in a small sedan chair.
Sitting in her own horse carriage, Lin Mengya felt a little heavy in her heart.
Could it be that the Queen and the Crown Prince had suspected her?
Could it be that they were trying to force her to give in by detaining Concubine De?
If that was the case, the two of them were too stupid.
