Chapter 99

"My lord, something has happened." There was a hint of panic in Mengji's anxious cry.

"What happened?" Feng Yuan's deep voice came from the room after falling asleep for less than half an hour.

"There is news from Linghua Temple that Master Wangchen is too dead."

When the sleepy-eyed Feng Yuan heard this, he suddenly woke up, with a chilly air lingering all over his body.He didn't even wear shoes, stepped on the ground with bare feet and ran to the door, opened the door, grabbed Mengji's collar, "What did you say?"

Mengji closed his eyes and spit out a few words.

"My lord, please forgive me."

"You're talking nonsense." Feng Yuan couldn't control his emotions, and punched Meng Ji.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Mengji's mouth, and he stood aside with his head bowed.He has been by the prince's side since he was a child, and he knows that although the prince doesn't visit his mistress often, he always misses her in his heart.

"Ah Yuan." Su Xi's voice sounded.

This time Meng Jixue was smart, and the first time he got the news, he was worried that his prince would not be able to accept this fact, so he sent someone to invite Su Xi over.He knew very well that as long as Miss Su was with his prince, he would be able to survive.

"Xi'er, concubine mother is gone. She finally left me cruelly and left this world."

At this time, Feng Yuan is like a lone wolf who has lost a loved one, with fragility in his grief.

"A Yuan, I know you are very sad. But what you should do now is cheer up and go to Linghua Temple to see your mother and concubine one last time." Su Xi walked over, held Feng Yuan's face in his hands, forcing him to look at her.When the sadness and fragility in Feng Yuan's eyes came into view, at this moment, Su Xi's heart ached.

As for Feng Yuan, she saw the strength in Su Xi's eyes.

"Xi'er, you're right, I'm going to see Concubine Mu for the last time." Even if it was a corpse that couldn't speak.

"I go with you."

"I'm going to harness the carriage." Mengji said.

The gorgeous morning sun rose from the horizon, and a carriage was speeding along the official road outside the city.

In Linghua Temple, it was still that simple meditation room. Master Wangchen was wearing a gray Taoist robe and a gray Taoist hat, lying quietly on the bed.

"Mother Concubine, why did you leave so suddenly?" Feng Yuan pushed the door in, walked to the bed, looked at Master Wangchen's body, his eyes were moist, and he couldn't control his sobs.

Su Xi patted Feng Yuan's shoulder, "A Yuan, I want to check the body of the teacher, is that okay?"

The last time I saw him at Linghua Temple, Su Xi felt that Mrs. Wangchen had no desire to die.Suddenly, there may be other reasons.

After a moment of silence, Feng Yuan moved away, his voice slightly hoarse, "Xi'er, please." He also suspected the death of the concubine mother.

"rest assured."

Su Xi stepped forward and began to perform an autopsy for Mrs. Wangchen.

The morning sun shines in through the window lattice, casting a mottled halo of light.

Su Xi cleaned her hands, and showed a solemn face, "Master Wangchen did not die naturally. There is a residual drug smell in her body, and her fatal wound..."

At this point, Su Xi paused, and looked at Feng Yuan worriedly, as if he couldn't bear to say it.

"What is the fatal injury?" Feng Yuan asked eagerly.

"The fatal injury was on the top of the head. When Master Wangchen was too comatose, he was directly stabbed to death by a long needle in his brain. It was impossible to tell from the outside." At this moment, Su Xi was glad that he proposed an autopsy.

"Meng Ji, go and call Ci Xin over." Feng Yuan calmed down, and his cold voice was chilling to the bone.

"Yes."

After half a stick of incense, Mengji walked in with his head down, "My lord, Master Compassionate is too missing."

"Send someone to look for it."

Half an hour later, Mengji walked in again with a heavy face.

"My lord, Master Compassionate has been found. He died, and his body is in the back mountain of Linghua Temple."

"I'll go and have a look." Su Xi suggested.

"Well, let's go." Feng Yuan nodded.

Su Xi followed Meng Ji to the back mountain of Linghua Temple.

In the back mountain, the wind is cold and the weeds are shaking.

The body of Master Compassionate Lie in the yellow grass.

Su Xi stepped forward to check, and there was a very obvious pinch mark on Master Compassionate's neck.Although the pinch marks were deep, they were not fatal.After careful inspection, it was found that the death of Mrs. Compassionate Heart was the same as that of Mrs. Wangchen, both of whom were stabbed to death with a long needle on the top of the head.It appears that the murderer is the same person.

"Meng Ji, find some people to carry the body of Master Compassionate back to Linghua Temple and bury it properly."

After confessing, Su Xi returned to the meditation room and told Feng Yuan what he had discovered.

"I see. Don't worry about this matter. I will find someone to investigate."

Afterwards, Feng Yuan cheered up and began to arrange for Mrs. Wangchen's funeral.

Because Mrs. Wang Chen is already a monk, and it is not appropriate to make a fuss about the affairs behind her, Feng Yuan decided to keep it simple.

After staying in Linghua Temple for three days, they found a place of geomantic omen to bury Mrs. Wangchen, and then they went down the mountain.

When going down the mountain, Feng Yuan took nothing but two long needles.These two long needles were sucked out by Su Xi from the heads of Mr. Wangchen and Mrs. Compassion respectively with magnets.

"Mother Concubine, the child will definitely find the murderer and avenge you." Feng Yuan looked down at the long needle wrapped in a cloth towel in his hand, and a cold light flashed across his dark eyes.

Back at Prince Rui's Mansion, just as he was about to sit down and have a rest, Eunuch Li who was beside Emperor Qin personally came to invite him into the palace.

Royal study.

"My son has seen the father." When Feng Yuan arrived, besides Emperor Qin sitting behind the dragon case, there was Zhang Changwu, the deputy commander of the Habayashi Army standing at the bottom of the imperial room.

Zhang Changwu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, three-dimensional features, and a tall and stylish figure. He can tell the background of a general at a glance.

"I don't know what's important for Father Xuan Erchen?" Feng Yuan lowered his head and said.

"Third son, I have decided to send you and General Zhang to search for the treasures of the previous dynasty." Emperor Qin opened the door and said three things.

"I'm not feeling well recently, I'm afraid it's not suitable." Feng Yuan politely refused.He has no interest in drudgery such as treasure hunting.What's more, he still has to investigate the death of his mother and concubine.

"It's up to you to hunt for the treasure. Apart from you, I don't worry about your other brothers going." Emperor Qin said.

"Why?" Feng Yuan wondered, in the eyes of his father, he had such a high trust value, how could he, as the person involved, not know.

"They are one by one. Apart from spending time and drinking, none of them are reliable in doing business." Emperor Qin said bluntly.Originally, there was still Yu'er fighting for a little bit, but now she has become disabled.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qin couldn't help but sigh.

"But..." Feng Yuan didn't have the slightest idea of ​​going on a treasure hunt.Even if he was going to hunt for treasure, he only wanted to go with Xi'er.He likes to see Xi'er's eyes sparkle every time he sees a treasure.

"You want to resist the decree?" Emperor Qin frowned slightly, not angry but mighty.

"I don't dare." It's not that I don't want to.

"Since that's the case, the treasure hunt is settled. You go back and make some preparations, and leave Beijing with General Zhang in three days."

"My son knows." Feng Yuan reluctantly agreed.

After leaving the palace and returning home, it was already sunset.

At the horizon of the sky, the clouds were smudged crimson by the sunset.

"Xi'er, I may have to leave Beijing for a while." Feng Yuan picked up the thousand-mile sound transmission conch and spoke to Su Xi.

"What a coincidence. Bai Yan sent the news that I have to go back to Youyue Palace to deal with some matters, and I will leave Beijing tomorrow." Su Xi's Qingyue voice flowed out from the other end like a spring.
