Ning Shu wiped the sweat from her forehead and sincerely greeted the person in the coffin, "Forgive me for offending you, Imperial Concubine Qi. Imperial Concubine Qi is magnanimous, surely you won't stoop to my level and fuss over minor matters?"
Then, she carefully listened and waited. As expected, she didn't hear any response from Imperial Concubine Qi. Thus, she began to work with a clear conscience.
After a person died, they wouldn't look good. Even if this person was once the most beautiful and alluring Imperial Concubine Qi, when she closed her eyes that couldn't be opened again, she couldn't escape the unchanging rule of time. It was only because of her status as an imperial concubine that her corpse was smeared with fragrant oil and herbs that she was able to decay slower than ordinary people. However, even so, it was nothing more than a gorgeous, defeated, self-deceiving, dead flesh that emitted a faint stench from the fragrance. In essence, it was no different from a wild dog that died in a smelly ditch in the suburbs.
A person's death was like an extinguished lamp.
Ning Shu pushed open the coffin lid with difficulty and looked at Imperial Concubine Qi, who was wrapped in a gorgeous robe and didn't seem to have any injuries. She silently said, "Forgive me." Wearing a pair of transparent gloves made from pig urine, she carefully undid the resplendent robe of the person in the coffin.
Two hours later.
A huge drop of sweat fell to the ground. Ning Shu withdrew her hand and closed her eyes. She held her breath for a short while and exhaled a long breath.
Sure enough, it was as she had guessed.
This case was the easiest to investigate in the world, but also the most difficult to solve, because it had already jumped out of its own body. It brought a bug, a corpse, and a flower through the long river that had been flowing for twenty-five years, trying to uncover the great secret that was hidden at the bottom of the river. It was related to three generations of people.
And all she relied on was her mouth. To confront the world was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
As difficult as ascending to the heavens, but she still had to give it a try.
Unknowingly, Tian Fang had already shown the dawn of a fish belly and was urging her to leave quickly. Ning Shu came back to her senses and quickly restored her vision to its original state. She prepared to turn and leave. Suddenly, a series of muffled sounds tore open a hole in the deathly silence and approached with murderous intent. Clang, clang, clang, clang. The sound of the scabbard rubbing against the copper buckle bag could be heard.
Ning Shu's heart trembled. She subconsciously hid in the tunnel, but it was too late! It was too late!
When the door was pushed open angrily, Ning Shu closed her eyes tightly.
The person who came was dressed in a set of bronze armor and a scarlet cloak. Even in the dim light of dawn, it was enough to hurt people's eyes. His eyes were cold, just like the armor he wore, and there was a bloodthirsty mockery in them. After looking around the room, he smiled.
Oh no, it was Xiao Yunyi.
Ning Shu's heart was clenched tightly by an invisible hand, and it was about to explode at any time.
She still remembered a few days ago when she broke free from his grasp and he left in a huff. His cold words were: "Scram, Ning Shu. Don't ever appear in front of me again. Otherwise, I'll take your life."
Now that their friendship had been completely severed, she believed that he could do it. Because if she lived, he would suffer.
The tall and thin young prince, who had unknowingly cultivated the unique temperament of a tyrant, signaled to the guard behind him with an indifferent look, and the door behind him slammed shut.
He lifted his heels and patrolled the old mourning hall step by step.
He said, "Ning Shu, you're here, aren't you?"
"I received a report from my subordinates that someone barged into the mass grave and messed up the pile of corpses. I guessed it must be you. You can't wait to investigate the case and clear your sweetheart's name? Ha, you're really affectionate. Shu 'er, stop hiding. You're already sixteen and you're still playing hide-and-seek with me like when we were young. Stop fooling around and come out. Be good. "
