Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 742 Strange Death
"Dead?" Rong Jiu frowned, and asked again, "Suicide?"

"There is only a strangle mark on his neck. On the surface, it looks like he committed suicide, but it is also possible that someone stunned him and hung him up." Shen Cheng's eyes were dark, and his voice was faint, "However, the one who shot this time is very It might be Xiao Yu."

Rong Jiu was startled: "Isn't it Prime Minister Xiao?"

"Prime Minister Xiao seems to have made no major movements in recent days. On the contrary, Xiao Yu, the first time Xiao Jue's body was exposed, she stood under the tower for a whole day, and did not leave until the curfew."

"I didn't expect it to be her."

Shen Cheng could hear a slight fluctuation in her tone, and asked, "What's wrong?"

There was some emotion in Rong Jiu's tone, as if he sighed: "I thought Xiao Yu was different from the rest of the Xiao family, but I didn't expect that she would be relentless and regard human life as worthless."

"She is always from the Xiao family," Shen Cheng said with hidden worry in his eyes, "Prime Minister Xiao can't just let go of the pain of bereavement, he must be planning bigger things, now, there is another Xiao Yu, the Xiao family If you don't get rid of it for a day, it will be hard for your husband to be safe for a day."

"Now I'm afraid that the Xiao family will not move. If the Xiao family makes a move, we will have a chance to bring it down. Prime Minister Xiao is silent now, so we have no way to attack."

"If you force him to take action, then you will be put in a dangerous situation. It is not a last resort. My husband does not want you to use yourself as bait."

"Ah."

In the past few days, Shen Cheng always had some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and within two days, something major happened, it was just that something happened in the palace.

Eunuch Zhao came to the princess mansion in a panic: "Princess, something serious happened?"

Rong Jiu was developing a perfume, and asked casually, "What happened?"

Eunuch Zhao saw that she was developing the perfume, so he said anxiously, "What happened to your perfume?"

"My perfume?" Rong Jiu finally raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, "Yuyanfang hasn't opened yet, so what does it have to do with perfume?"

Eunuch Zhao explained: "The concubine Jia used the princess's perfume and turned into a bone."

Rong Jiu's eyes widened in shock: "My perfume is not poison. How could it turn into bones after using it? I don't make many perfumes. I only gave it to Princess Yunxiao and Princess Pingyang, as well as Concubine Shu and Jia. Where did the concubine get her perfume?"

"After Concubine Shu used the princess's perfume, the other empresses in the palace frequently asked about Concubine Jia and Concubine Shu getting close, Concubine Shu gave her a bottle. Concubine Jia has been using it every day for the past few days. Everyone in the palace knows that this morning, her maid saw that she hadn't gotten up until noon, so she went into the bedroom to call her, but there was only a bone on the bed."

"Isn't Concubine Shu all right? How can you be sure that Concubine Jia's death is related to perfume?"

"The perfume is gone, and Concubine Jia's death is so weird. The Empress Dowager believes that Concubine Shu was the one who murdered Concubine Jia, and she has been imprisoned in Fuqu Palace. This case is being thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple. Lord Shen is in the palace now, and Concubine Jia is now in the palace." Turned into a bone, unable to confirm the identity, His Majesty invited the princess into the palace to restore the appearance of Concubine Jia."

It is indeed very strange to suddenly turn into a white bone overnight.

It seems that Empress Dowager Xiao made a move on Concubine Shu.

Rong Jiu asked: "Concubine Shu is under house arrest, who is in charge of the harem now?"

"It's Concubine Jing." Eunuch Zhao said, "Concubine Jing is the daughter of the second wife of the side branch of the Xiao family. After Empress Xiao was abolished, the Empress Dowager relied heavily on her."
