C6 The Death of the Deputy General

Ning Wanqing touched Yuniang's thumb and index finger. Although her hands were well maintained, the cocoon between the thumb and index finger could not fool people.

Yuniang lowered her head and did not speak. She only saw fine beads of sweat appear on her forehead. Ning Wanqing stood up, "You are really smart. Using this kind of method to murder the Crown Prince, to frame Prince Qing'an and take away all of you. It is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. Let me guess your purpose."

Ning Wanqing smiled and touched her chin. "With this method, the Ji Kingdom will definitely fall into chaos. Then which country's chaos is most beneficial to them? It must be the other countries. " Don't you know the origin of this golden bracelet? Then let me tell you, the patterns on this golden bracelet... It comes from South Chu, and it is a kind of flower in South Chu. "It's called Gesang. You must be a masterpiece of South Chu."

The Crown Prince's brows tightened. He had almost fallen for the evil scheme of South Chu.

After Ning Wanqing's explanation, the matter was finally revealed.

The woman on the ground stopped crying at some point. After hearing her words, she suddenly said in a deep voice, "Miss is so smart!" Her tone had completely changed.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning Wanqing. Her eyes were full of ruthlessness. She actually dared to destroy her plan. Yuniang suddenly got up and pulled out a short sword from her sleeve. She was caught off guard and attacked Ning Wanqing.

Ning Wanqing was not prepared and widened her eyes. Seeing that the short sword was getting closer and closer, Qu Sifeng by the side quickly used the sheath to block that person's short sword.

He reached out and pulled Ning Wanqing to the side.

Ning Wanqing was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat. She thought she was going to die again.

Qu Sifeng revealed a concerned expression, "Are you okay?"

Yuniang saw that she was not able to kill Ning Wanqing. She bit her lips and suddenly turned to stab the Crown Prince. Qu Sifeng hurriedly went to stop her. Yuniang was not Qu Sifeng's match at all. She was a spy trained by South Chu and mainly relied on her attractiveness. Martial arts was just a trick to protect herself. In just a few moves, she was forced to kneel on the ground by Qu Sifeng.

The Crown Prince was about to step forward and interrogate her.

However, Yuniang pursed her lips and her face changed. She actually bit her own tongue and committed suicide.

The Crown Prince reached out and pinched Yuniang's chin, but it was already too late.

Ning Wanqing looked at the woman lying on the ground and her heart was a little heavy. So quickly, there was no life left. This was the first time she saw someone die in front of her.

On the way back, there were only her and Qu Sifeng. Qu Sifeng looked at her and suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

She understood. Although she had helped Prince Qing'an get rid of the suspicion and prevent His Majesty from punishing him, she still had to return to Qing'an Prefecture and listen to his punishment. Qu Sifeng wanted to take her away, but he was powerless.

When she saw Prince Qing'an, his attire was no longer as unruly and violent as the last time, but the purple color of his noble aura still revealed his natural nobility.

He rubbed his chin and looked at Ning Wanqing who was walking towards him with great interest.

"Although your status is low, this king thinks that you have some ability and can barely save this king's life. I am willing to accept you as my concubine. In the future, wealth and wealth are not something that can be compared with now."

He did not plan to discuss this matter with her at all, but as soon as he finished speaking, she raised her head and refused, "No! I refuse!"

Qu Sifeng turned pale with fright. Just as he was about to help, he heard her say, "Although Your Royal Highness does not care about this servant's identity, this servant is worried that after Your Royal Highness's favor is known, this servant will think that Your Royal Highness is not that noble, but that everyone can fantasize about it."

"So what?" He revealed an indifferent expression.

Ning Wanqing still wanted to try, but Qu Sifeng said, "You can leave now. I need to talk to the prince alone."

"Your Royal Highness, this lowly subject thinks that this woman is too smart and is not suitable to stay in the Imperial Residence."

"What do you mean?" He frowned and was somewhat displeased.

"Is Your Highness not afraid that the matter of the late princess will be exposed because of her?"

Prince Qing'an squinted his eyes and revealed a trace of danger. "Qu Sifeng, you have to take responsibility for what you said."

"I am just thinking about your highness. Your highness should understand that I am being honest, right?" He hit the iron while it was hot. "Besides, this woman is not beautiful. Why don't you let me take care of her? She will not be a problem for Your Highness."

The matter of the late princess was Prince Qing'an's weakness. Qu Sifeng caught his weakness and naturally got his permission very quickly.

After bidding farewell to Prince Qing'an, he turned around and walked towards the door. Ning Wanqing was already mentally prepared to stay. Suddenly, she heard him say, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

Suddenly, her eyes turned hot and her heart started beating wildly. Qu Sifeng's image in her heart became bigger. She finally understood a little. Why did ancient women always have the thought of "giving themselves to each other when they were saved?

However, before she and Qu Sifeng could return to his mansion, a piece of news came halfway.

"Master, master is in trouble! Vice General Xue is out, something happened!"

He rushed to the scene and realized that Vice General Xue had long since stopped breathing. Qu Sifeng hurriedly drew up a report and reported to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to investigate the cause of Xue Yong's death.

Soon, news came from the Imperial Court. They sent an official from the Punishment Court to investigate where Xue Yong had died.

"Greetings, Ninth Prince." After waiting here for more than four hours, although Qu Sifeng had told Ning Wanqing some basic etiquette, he did not expect it to be Ninth Prince who came to investigate.

Everyone bowed at the same time. Ning Wanqing's actions were slower by half a beat and easily attracted Ninth Prince's attention. However, she only took a glance out of the corner of her eye and felt strange.

"Where is she?" He was never concerned about trifles. He only cared about cases in his heart. His efficiency in handling cases was well-known in the neighboring countries.

Qu Sifeng personally led the way. Ning Wanqing was not familiar with the place. Other than following him, she had no other choice. "The door was originally locked from the inside and could not be opened. The guards felt it was strange. When they forced the door open, they saw that Vice General Xue had already..."

At the scene, because Ninth Prince was present, no one dared to say anything about the rules. Naturally, no one dared to block Ning Wanqing outside the door. She also saw Xue Yong who was lying on the ground.

The corpse looked like it had just died. Ning Wanqing carefully touched the wrist of the corpse and found that the corpse had not turned cold. This confirmed her thoughts.

Ninth Prince and Ruan Ange put on special gloves and coat. They were similar to the equipment used for modern forensic examinations. He squatted down and was ready to take a closer look. He turned his head and saw Ning Wanqing. "Please leave."

About half an hour later, Ruan Ange pushed the door open and came out. "Does he have any enemies?"

Qu Sifeng shook his head. "Deputy General Xue is a righteous man. He can't have any enemies."

"But there is not a single wound on his body. It does not seem like he was poisoned. Moreover, there are people coming and going in and out of the restaurant. Even if something happened not long ago, the investigation was like a needle in a haystack."
