And when Li Qingmo threatened Jin Ke, Chu Tianyi did not take the opportunity to suppress him.

Chu Tianyi did not answer Qing Yuan directly, but said calmly: "If Jin Ke is really dead, Qing Yuan will wait for Jin Yuguo and Xi Chu to besiege him at the same time."

Qingyuan has never been threatened like this.

Her eyes sharpened, "Is Xi Chu trying to take advantage of the situation?"

Do you want to take advantage of the conflict between the Blue Bird and the Golden Feather Country to take over the Blue Bird Country in one fell swoop?

Xichu really has a big appetite!
After Chu Tianyi finished speaking, he left.

Qingyuan took a deep breath and looked at Jingzhi: "Cha, remember, Jin Ke will never die because of Qingniao."

Everyone believed that Jin Ke was bound to die.

The only thing Qingyuan can do now is to change the cause of Jin Ke's death and never start a war with Jin Yu Country.

Because once that happens, Xichu will also take action.

Dongyue is also watching with eager eyes.

"Jingzhi, this battle must not be fought. Once it starts, the blue bird will definitely be divided among the three countries."

Jing Zhi's face was heavy, "Wei Chen understands."

Nan Xi went to see the boat they salvaged.

"The bottom of the boat is broken."

Wen Ying and Li Beimu were also on the side.

"Such a big gap looks like it was broken by gravity, it doesn't look like an accident." Li Beimu said, "Is there really a water ghost?"

Wen Ying let out a 'heh': "I'm afraid he's just pretending to be a ghost."

Nan Xi nodded: "I also think it's man-made."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Zhi walked over.

"Princess Regent, my people have brought over the bodies of people who were killed by water ghosts before. Can you please come and take a look?"

She said 'please', but her tone was not polite at all.

Li Beimu: "You also know that when you call my imperial aunt 'Princess Regent', you should know that she is not someone you can control at will. Qingniao takes herself too seriously."

How could his imperial aunt be commanded by anyone?
Jing Zhi's face wasn't very pretty, but the situation was urgent and there really was no time to waste.

So, Jing Zhi bowed his hands towards Nan Xi again and said, "I beg the Princess Regent to help us with the autopsy."

Nan Xi was quite interested in this water ghost, so he didn't take Qiao anymore, nodded, and followed Jing Zhi.

The corpses were placed not far away. There were two in total. It was said that they were two brothers. They were just going to buy goods when the accident happened. The hundreds of taels of silver notes and broken silver they originally carried were missing.

"Where were their bodies found?" Nan Xi asked.

Didn’t I say they were all missing before?
Why was the body suddenly found?
Jing Zhi said: "I found it while salvaging the ship."

What a coincidence.

Li Qingmo put on gloves for Nan Xi: "Both of the corpses were eaten by fish in the water, and they are bloody and bloody. Nan'er can just watch from the side. You tell me, I will do it."

Nan Xi: "..."

[Then why are you wearing gloves for me? 】

Li Qingmo chuckled: "I know you can't help it. My hands will be dirty by then and I won't be able to help you put it on."

Qing Yuan's face turned dark as she asked, "Prince Regent, can we start?"

Li Qingmo didn't even look at Qing Yuan and squatted down next to the corpse.

Xia Rui wanted to help, but as soon as he stepped forward, he was pulled back by Lan Jue.

"Why don't you have a long memory?" Lan Jue said in a tone of hatred. Only then did Xia Rui react, and subconsciously took two steps back, never saying anything about helping with the autopsy.

Nan Xi looked at the corpse and commanded, while Li Qingmo was responsible for the operation. There was always a tacit understanding between the two that others could not understand.

Sometimes Nan Xi doesn't need to be too straightforward. Even if the two of them look at each other, Li Qingmo will understand what she wants to do.

The cause of death was found for both bodies.

Died by digging out the heart.

"Are there really water ghosts?" Someone asked again.

Su Fuying looked disdainfully and looked at Qingyuan: "Does the Queen really want to attribute all this to ghosts?"

Qingyuan had never been so aggrieved even when she was the princess.

She never thought that she would face such a situation after taking the throne. Anyone would dare to mess with her.

Nan Xi said: "Although these two people died after their hearts were ripped out, their wounds were smooth. It was obvious that they were caused by sharp weapons. They couldn't be water ghosts."

After a pause, she added: "Moreover, their hearts were directly ripped out while they were still alive."

"Tore out the hearts alive?" Li Beimu looked down at the two corpses again, as if he could feel their pain.

"What a hatred this must be."

Wen Ying has never seen such a cruel case.

"Either the murderer has a deep hatred for them, or he is really cruel and bloodthirsty, but why did he have to take away the heart? Where did the heart that was taken away go?"

Qingyuan is now very anxious to know the truth of the case.

"Jingzhi, go find out if they had any grudges with anyone before they were alive?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Jingzhi went to investigate, the Bluebird clan members who followed them out of Orchid City were discussing frequently.

"It must be the water ghost. The water ghost is looking for a substitute."

"I've also heard that ghosts who drown in water must find many substitutes before they can be reincarnated as they wish."

"We are so close to the water now, will we become the next target of the water ghost?"

"It's too dangerous here, we'd better leave first."

After leaving Orchid City, Qingfu was not around, so they regarded Qingci as their leader, and everyone looked at her.

Qingci thought for a while, then stood up and walked towards Qingyuan.

"Queen, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Qingyuan was already in a bad mood, so she snorted softly when she heard this, "Isn't that what you want to say? Since you want to say it, don't ask me whether I should say it or not. I don't have the time or energy to deal with you now."

Qingci looked embarrassed, but he had to mention it: "Actually, when we were in Youlan City, our ancestors left a saying. It is said that we were cursed because we were looking for treasures. As long as we leave Youlan City, we will be punished. , now that this water ghost kills people, will it be God’s punishment for us?”

Qingyuan frowned and scolded sternly: "Why didn't you tell me about such a thing earlier?"

Su Fuying sneered from the side: "The Queen really doesn't believe in any curse, does she? Or does she want to use the so-called curse to deal with us?"

Qingyuan glanced over with stern eyes: "Su Xiang!"

She took a deep breath and said, "As for the death of the eldest prince, I, the Blue Bird, will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. Before that, please don't get too involved in our internal affairs, the Blue Bird."

She classified this as an internal matter, which meant she was really angry.

Su Fuying said nothing more, looking towards the river from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chu Tianyi didn't know when he came to his side, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.

"Prime Minister Su." Chu Tianyi asked: "Prime Minister Su was very worried about the safety of the eldest prince all the way. Why did he not refute the eldest prince's proposal to part ways with you on the return trip? "
