C358 Two Wills

Yun Xi died without any warning.

Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen were stunned. Logically speaking, someone with Yun Xi's personality would not commit suicide.

Perhaps she did not commit suicide in the first place.

Her first reaction was that the old man killed Yun Xi and denied it.

Yesterday, when the old man left the residence, Yun Xi was still fine. He could not have snuck in in in the middle of the night, right?

He checked the corpse.

Mu Ruqing carefully looked at the wound on Yun Xi's neck and said with certainty, "If he killed her, it is only possible that he knocked her out before hanging her up. Can all the guards in the Imperial Residence be trusted?"

"Of course." Yu Longchen was certain that every guard in the mansion was carefully selected and trained by him. "It could only be servant girl. One servant girl is not strong enough."

"What if she really committed suicide?" After walking around for a while, he still came back. servant girl of the mansion? Consort Long still wanted to use her and would not kill her. She really could not think of anyone else. It was even more impossible to kill someone from outside the Imperial Residence.

"Let's first find the Imperial Court's Yin to report the case. After all, she is the princess of a country. At that time, just say that she committed suicide." Yu Longchen frowned. He could not be said to be sad, but thinking about it carefully, he actually felt a little comfortable.

"Then why did she commit suicide? Going to the Emperor's place, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain." Mu Ruqing frowned. She died cleanly, but it made it difficult for them to deal with this matter.

"I am here." Yu Longchen put his arm around Mu Ruqing's shoulder and walked out of the room.

The guard could not carry the body. When he passed the yard door, something fell down.

Lingyue was behind them. She picked it up and chased after Mu Ruqing.

It was a letter and now, it should be expressed in a will more appropriately.

A will.

I know that I am guilty and cannot be doted on by the Royal Highness. I have plotted against the Princess and sister many times. I am indebted to the favor of the Eldest Sister and the Royal Highness and have been forgiven many times. Yesterday, I failed and pushed this servant, Zhi-er, into the lake. I feel guilty in my heart and have no face to live in this world anymore.

These few words were not convincing at all. Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen were sure that Yun Xi was killed by someone.

"Changxu, guard the Imperial Residence well. In these few days, no one is allowed to leave the Imperial Residence. Unless there is an order from me and the Princess." Yu Longchen instructed, "Report this suicide note to the public. Just say that Lateral Consort Yun committed suicide. Only then can this matter be understood more quickly. We can't find any other excuses in Yunmeng Country either. "

" Yes. " Changxu left.

Mu Ruqing was still holding the letter in her hand. She looked at Yu Longchen and joked, "Your Royal Highness, don't you feel sorry for him? After all, I have loved it."

"What is there to feel heartache about?" Yu Longchen held Mu Ruqing's hand and said seriously, "What does the princess want me to feel sorry for? It's not like I killed her."

... "" Mu Ruqing did not know what expression to put on. What he said made sense.

"This is what happened. How can Royal Father investigate and find a flower?" Yu Longchen raised his eyebrows, looking like a hooligan.

"Is this really that simple? Leaving such a will behind, isn't it to make us suspect and continue investigating?" Mu Ruqing did not want to interfere, but it seemed like she had no choice but to intervene...

The case was reported to the Yin of the capital's Zhaofu, so naturally, it would be reported to the Emperor.

The next day, Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing were both called into the Palace.

Yu Longchen went to the Rising Sun Hall and Mu Ruqing was called over by Consort Long.

In Chao Yang Hall, Lord Mayor and Minister of Justice were both there.

"This son greets Royal Father!" Yu Longchen bowed.

There was no joy on the emperor's face. He frowned even more deeply. "No matter how much you don't like her, she is still Yun Meng's princess."

"Royal Father thought her death was caused by my son?" Yu Longchen and the emperor never had a proper conversation. If one were to say that he was very respectful to the Emperor, now, Yu Longchen... He no longer had the mood to be respectful to the Emperor.

"Take a look yourself! This is Yun Xi's will that was handed over in the morning!" The Emperor was slightly angry and threw the letter in his hand in front of Yu Longchen.

Yu Longchen did not move and continued to kneel. The Emperor did not let him get up.

"What's wrong? You don't dare to look?" The Emperor lowered his aura and coughed after he finished speaking.

"It's not that I don't dare to, but that there's no need to look." Yu Longchen didn't even raise his head, "Even if she committed suicide, Yunmeng Country wouldn't be able to find a reason to blame me."

"Then why did she commit suicide? Don't you know? Cough cough!" The Emperor covered his mouth and coughed.

The officials present were so scared that they knelt down.

"Yes." Only then did Yu Longchen raise his head and look at the Emperor. Different from the Imperial Court, he seemed to be even older, "Yun Xi persecuted the Princess and the child in her womb many times. She died and this son does not feel pity."

"That suicide note said that you did not recognize her and your child, and the wangfei even ordered to abort the child. Is that true?" The Emperor raised his hand, and only then did the kneeling official stand up.

At first, the Emperor said that there was Yun Xi's will, and Yu Longchen thought that the Emperor was lying to him. Now, it seemed that Yun Xi had left two completely different wills on her. The one yesterday was deliberately dropped for the two of them to read.

"Speak! There is such a thing!" The Emperor slammed the table and coughed a few times in anger. This child just did not let people worry.

"No." Yu Longchen looked at the content of the letter with disdain, "Could it be that Royal Father thinks that my son is that kind of person?"

"Then tell Zhen what is the content of Yun Xi's will?" The Emperor asked.

Yu Longchen looked around.

The Emperor said in a deep voice, "My dear minister, please withdraw."

"This lowly subject will retire!" Lord Mayor and Minister of Justice did not say a word. Indeed, they did not have the right to speak. The Emperor was asking King Chu, how could they have the right to speak?

"Royal Father knows that this subject has never touched Yun Xi." The people in the hall all withdrew, and only then did Yu Longchen say, "Because of this, how can this son not recognize? The princess ordered the abduction of the child."

The Emperor accepted this information and the anger in his heart was even greater than before. "Are you serious?"

"This son does not dare to lie to Royal Father." Yu Longchen had nothing to hide about this matter. "She was the one who aborted the child. I know that she was Princess Yun Meng. I didn't want to take her life, so I didn't tell anyone about it. However, if I wronged the Princess because of this, this son will not agree. "

" Got it. " The Emperor's anger this time was directed at Yun Xi. To a man with a high position, the most intolerable thing was for a woman to cheat on him! He lightly coughed twice, "This Yun Xi really did such filthy things!"

Yu Longchen lowered his head.

"I have wronged you!" The next second, the Emperor's heart ached for Yu Longchen, "Zhen will give the decree to send Yun Xi's coffin back to Yun Meng. Such a woman is not worthy of entering the Imperial Cemetery and the Ancestral Shrine!"

"Thank you Royal Father for your graciousness."

"Enough, enough. This child, Zhen knows very well what kind of temper you have." The Emperor said that he did not love Yu Longchen. Every action was for Yu Longchen's sake and for his own good.

"As for the Princess..." Yu Longchen was worried about Mu Ruqing, who was called over by Consort Long.

"Nothing. Consort Long just asked a few questions." The Emperor propped up his thigh and wanted to stand up. It seemed very tiring.

Yu Longchen saw it and quickly ran up.

"Go and pick her up." Only then did the Emperor smile. He had been waiting for this kind of support for a long time.

"Thank you, Royal Father." This was the first time Yu Longchen was grateful to the Emperor.

The Emperor waved his hand and Gao Mao came in to help him walk away.
