Chapter 72 Corpse
Jiang Sushang muttered: "I really like you."

"I think you've been with me all the time."

"I don't want to be separated from you."

"I don't want to marry the King of Huainan."

"I only want you."

……

Zhao Guannan did not expect that Jiang Sushang would become a talker after being drunk.

Zhao Guannan used Shancun's sobriety to send Jiang Suchhang back to the room.

He sat on the ground, and Jiang Sushang lay on the bed with a flushed face. It was undeniable that the emperor brother and sister had really guessed his thoughts.

He observes etiquette and will not bully Jiang Sushang into not being sober and performing the rites of Zhou Gong when the wedding is not held.

Jiang Sushang slept soundly, and Zhao Guannan was fascinated by what he saw. He could not help but have wild thoughts.

You are my princess, so a kiss shouldn’t be considered indecent!

Zhao Guannan approached Jiang Sushang, forgetting the strict etiquette he had insisted on for many years.

"Bang!"

Beilu knocked Zhao Guannan unconscious with a knife, and he knew that Zhao Guannan's mind was not pure.

Zhao Guannan's courtyard was next door to Jiang Sushang's. When Beilu resisted him, he threw him back into the courtyard.

The alchemy book was being sorted in the room. When he went out and saw Zhao Guannan in the courtyard, he quickly helped Zhao Guannan back to the house.

Beilu returned to Jiang Sushang's room to keep watch. Not long after, a maid brought sobering soup. In fact, it was to check whether Zhao Guannan and Jiang Sushang were sleeping together.

The maid put down the sobering soup and withdrew.

Beilu fed Jiang Suchang to drink the hangover soup. The sour and bitter soup made Jiang Sushi shut up and refused to drink it.

Beilu took a sip of the decoction, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he swallowed the hangover decoction.

If he took advantage of the opportunity to give medicine, he would undoubtedly be taking advantage of others' danger just like Zhao Guannan.

Before, Jiang Sushang was drugged and his condition was critical, so he had to offend him. Now that Jiang Sushang is sleeping peacefully, he should not act recklessly.

Beilu turned off the light and stayed by Jiang Sushang's bed.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep since he said that to Jiang Suchang. He wanted to go to Jiang Mansion to visit Jiang Suchang, but he found that Lan Shi and Shan'er had been assigned errands, and Jiang Suchang was not in the house. Give him a bad gut feeling.

Sneaking into the palace and going straight to Jiang Sushang's yard, he saw that Zhao Guannan wanted to do something wrong with Jiang Sushang.

Fortunately, he arrived in time. Beilu leaned against Jiang Sushang's bed and fell asleep listening to her breathing.

Heavy rain is coming at night, which is a good time to sleep peacefully.

Beilu was awakened by Zhao Guannan's cry in the early morning, and Jiang Sushang was also awakened.

She rubbed her eyes and felt a familiar figure flash past.

"Who is outside?" Jiang Sushang asked.

No one answered her outside, so she got off the bed, lit the candlestick, and walked out.

Jiang Sushang saw a moon-white figure outside and said, "Zhao Guannan, this is my room. It would be too rude of you to come here uninvited."

"Jiang Sushang, go back to your room and stay." Zhao Guannan shouted.

His original intention was to see if Jiang Sushang was okay.

Jiang Sushang had already appeared behind him. When she saw a bloody corpse lying on the ground, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhao Guannan thought Jiang Sushang would be more or less scared, but she held the candlestick as if nothing had happened, and wanted to get closer and look at the body. "It's the consort." Zhao Guannan frowned and asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Jiang Sushang knelt down, put the candlestick aside, and turned the body over.

Murong Zhiyou's body came into view before her eyes. She didn't see Murong Zhiyou during the meal. Did he die at that time?

The water next to Murong Zhiyou's body covered the ground. It must have moved into her house after the rain.

"I was drunk, and your voice woke me up." Jiang Sushang looked around: "Strange, why is there no one keeping vigil in this palace?"

Zhao Guannan didn't dare to say that his imperial brother deliberately kept people away from him in order to do good things for him!

"We must find the Prince Consort." The guard's voice sounded: "You go to Mr. Guannan's courtyard, and the others will follow me to Miss Jiang's courtyard."

Zhao Guannan quickly blew out the candlestick, took Jiang Sushang's hand, and walked into the house.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Sushang asked in a low voice.

"He is not only His Majesty's royal consort, but also the concubine of the Murong family of An Guohou. If you and I don't want to be implicated, we must not know about this."

Not long after, the guard's voice came from outside.

"Miss Jiang, are you awake?" The guard did not dare to enter the room easily.

"Consort, consort...you...you..." Ping Zhaoyang's sad voice sounded from outside.

"Jiang Sushang, it's his fault that the consort offended you, how could you kill someone!" Ping Zhaoyang walked straight in, intending to open the curtain.

Zhao Guannan opened the curtain and said in a calm tone: "What's wrong? Your Highness the Princess."

Ping Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment, then said: "You...Jiang Sushang is my emperor's younger brother's princess, you..."

"I have nothing else to do with her. Princess, please don't taint someone's innocence." Zhao Guannan got up from the bed, "Miss Jiang is still hungover and has no idea what happened."

Jiang Sushang was pretending to be asleep. Zhao Guannan said this. Who would believe that there was nothing else going on between them?
However, when the princess saw them sleeping together, she would not be willing to let Yu Wenhuai wear this cuckold. The marriage would be canceled in private.

Jiang Sushang was happy because she hadn't written to Yu Wenhuai yet!It was a good thing that the marriage was settled like this.

However, who put Murong Zhiyou’s body in her room?
In addition, Zhao Guannan did not speak like a monarch or a minister to Princess Ping Zhaoyang, and there was no respect in his words. This made Jiang Sushang doubtful about Zhao Guannan's identity.

After Zhao Guannan left, Jiang Sushang sat up.

Zhao Guannan's idea is not wrong. She cannot be suspected of murdering Yuwen Zhiyou. It would be bad if King Ling'an directly convicts Princess Ping Zhaoyang in order to give her an explanation.

The baby's case has not yet been investigated, and now there is another murder case.

What a headache!

"Only the maid who brought sobering soup has entered the room." Beilu's voice suddenly sounded. He had been by Jiang Sushang's side. He knew clearly when someone came in, even if he was asleep.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that Beilu remained silent, Jiang Sushang changed his words and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I've been with you all the time. Except for the maid who brought the soup and medicine came before it rained, only Zhao Guannan came in after it rained." The body was brought in when these two people were the only ones there.

Jiang Suchhang thought of the water stains on the body, which was clearly moved into the house after the rain.

Could it be that Zhao Guannan brought the body in and then pretended to find it, asking her to cooperate with him and serve as a mutual alibi witness.

But why did Zhao Guannan kill Murong Zhiyou?

"I don't know what happened to Sister Lan Shi. She is no longer in the palace. Please look for her for me."

"Lan Shi is in the Jiang Mansion. The Jiang Mansion is buying wedding items and seems to be planning to hold a wedding."

"Is my brother getting married?"

strangeness!Why didn't you tell her about such a happy event?
