Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor

27. Bloodstains (2)

Yu Qingya followed the line of sight and saw the dull and inconspicuous blood stains on the ground, and her eyebrows immediately jolted.

She wanted to ruin the encounter between Yu Qingjia and the Prince of Langya, but it didn’t mean she wanted to expose his whereabouts. Yu Qingjia also seemed to be frightened, and her face was pale. Her eyes seemed to be looking at the closet.

Yu Qingya understood immediately, she thought something was wrong, and was about to say something to divert her gaze, but unexpectedly Murong Xu had already seen it. Murong Xu snorted coldly, and immediately strode to the closet, avoiding the wooden door with a single blow.

The wooden door cracked open with a sound, but there was no one inside. This wardrobe is so big that it is impossible for officials to miss it when they come in to search. This place has been turned over and over several times, and the clothes inside have been turned into a mess, but there are indeed no people.

Murong Xu thought to himself, could he have guessed wrong?

He frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly caught something inconspicuous. He took a step back, measured the width of the wardrobe with his eyes, then sneered. He then knocked on the wall of the closet with the scabbard.

The accompanying officers and soldiers also understood immediately when they heard the crisp sound of “Dong Dong Dong”.

Without Murong Xu saying anything, they immediately rushed forward, holding swords in their hands, and pried open the closet wall as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

When the entire plank was removed and the wall of the closet fell down, the officers and soldiers couldn’t help taking a step back collectively, they were shouting and clenched the swords tightly in their hands.

The wooden plank hit the ground with a bang, but the backside was still empty except for some fine dust.

Murong Xu hurriedly took a step forward, and the scene in front of him was already incomprehensible. He thought that Murong Yan was hiding in the interlayer of the closet, but now that the interlayer has been pried open, and there is a wall behind it instead, there is really no place for anyone to hide.

Murong Xu even knocked on the wall with a knife, the echo was thick and dull, and the wall was obviously solid. He was puzzled even more, but Yu Qingjia seemed to be unable to tolerate it anymore, and completely erupted,

“All of you! Get out!”

It’s no wonder that Yu Qingjia was so angry, because under the interlayer, there were some clothes that were inconvenient for women to show the others, such as a woman’s blood-stained menstrual belt.

No matter how thick-skinned Murong Xu was, he was too embarrassed to flip through the woman’s clothes which were stained with menstrual blood. He turned his head immediately and coughed. At this moment, he could understand why Yu Qingjia behaved strangely earlier.

It turned out that she was on her monthly period, no wonder there was blood on the ground, no wonder she was stammering and refused to answer when he asked about the blood. After all, it’s not good to display this kind of thing openly, and since the maid hadn’t washed the clothes yet, Yu Qingjia hid the blood-stained menstrual belt in the interlayer of the closet, but unexpectedly, it was dragged out in public.

A person like Murong Xu who indulged in romance felt a little sorry, Yu Qingjia lowered her face, and coldly ordered the servant girl to drive them all away, but Murong Xu didn’t have anything to say.

The place that should have been looked for has already been turned over several times, and now there is no movement, so he’s probably not in Yu Qingjia’s courtyard. Murong Xu was ashamed, so while ordering his subordinates to evacuate and search in the next courtyard, he smiled shyly at Yu Qingjia,

“Because I wasn’t thinking carefully today, I unconsciously offended the lady. This Prince will come to apologize in person tomorrow. In fact, if your body is not convenient, you could have told me earlier, otherwise why would I misunderstand and let those reckless men outside see the intimate belongings of the lady.”

Yu Qingjia’s face had completely turned cold, and she didn’t say anything, she just slammed the door shut in front of Murong Xu’s face.

‘Well, the beauty is angry.’

Murong Xu smiled outside the door, and suddenly changed the subject, and said,

“It’s getting late, so I won’t bother you anymore. See you tomorrow, Yu Beauty.”

Murong Xu led the people out, and after walking out of Yu Qingjia’s yard. He turned around and looked at the dark courtyard wall, he shook his head while chuckling.

“The fourth young lady of the Yu family?”

Murong Xu had a playful expression on his face. He thought that she was simply like a domesticated cat with beautiful fur, but he didn’t expect her to stretch out her claws at people. She would even lie to him saying that she was the fourth young lady of the Yu family.

What fourth young lady of the Yu family? She is obviously much more interesting than that lady in the red cloak.

Sure enough, she was a poppy. Murong Xu originally thought that it was simply the crowd’s flattery, or the Yu family themselves spreading such a rumor, but now it seems that the Yu beauty who was as beautiful as a poppy was true to its name.

Yinzhu watched helplessly as Yu Qingjia drove the Prince and his entourage out of her courtyard, and then slammed the door vigorously in front of their faces. Yinzhu’s heart was pounding like a little rabbit, and she was frozen stiff in place for a while, not knowing what to do.

After Murong Xu left, the room fell into silence. Yu Qingya really thought that Prince Langya was hiding in the closet, but now it turned out to be a false alarm. While she was relieved, she also felt reluctant.

She walked and looked around the courtyard repeatedly, ‘Where could he possibly hide in such a huge area?’

Could it be that she and the system guessed wrong, and that the Prince of Langya really did not hide inside the Yu family mansion today? Or even worse, that the person who assassinated Liao Zheng was not Prince Langya himself?

Yu Qingjia silently watched Yu Qingya wandering around her courtyard aimlessly, there seemed to be a smile in her eyes, but in an instant it turned into a little girl’s impatience out of shame and anger,

“Fourth sister, what are you still looking for?”

“Nothing.”

Yu Qingya reluctantly looked away, she felt unwilling, so she quickly walked to Yu Qingjia’s bed, and pressed it by pretending to lean over to pick up a few things. After testing with her own hands, she also confirmed that there was no one hiding under the quilt.

This is a bit strange, could it be that Prince Langya is really not here?

Yu Qingya thought that Prince Langya had been hiding safely under the strict surveillance of the emperor for the past two and a half years, and that he would be able to unify the world with one command in the future, which shows that he has a lot of capable subordinates under him.

Based on this theory alone, if it was just killing a traitor, Prince Langya himself doesn’t necessarily need to go out and do it in person. So the most likely scenario was, that the assassination of Liao Zheng today was done by his Suicide soldiers.

Yu Qingya consciously thought of this truth, and the irritability in her heart gradually subsided. In this case, her plan had to be adjusted accordingly. Yu Qingjia did not hide an outsider, so it will not be easy for her to go to Yu Laojun to tell on her. It seems that this matter needs to be further discussed later.

“Fourth Sister.”

Yu Qingya was in a daze when she heard Yu Qingjia call her again. She finally came back to her senses, when she saw Yu Qingjia and the maid of the second household were looking at her strangely,

“Fourth sister, what are you looking for?”

Yu Qingya suddenly realized her current action. She was sitting on her cousin’s bed while pressing her hand on the other party’s bedding. This behavior looks very suspicious, no wonder Yu Qingjia and the young maid were looking at her with the eyes that seemed to have seen a monster. Yu Qingya hurriedly stood up, her right hand maskingly stroked the broken hair around her ear,

“Nothing, it’s just that I learned that the sixth sister’s little days had come, and I’m worried that the sixth sister’s quilt is so thin and that you might get cold at night.”

Yu Qingjia smiled and looked at her,

“I feel grateful for the fourth sister. Then Fourth Sister, Do you want to take a look again?”

There is nothing else to see. Prince Yingchuan himself went through it all once, and she went through it again just now, Yu Qingjia really can’t find a place to hide someone in this courtyard. She knew that it was just a false alarm, so she gathered her cloak and smiled,

“It’s good that the sixth sister is fine, I am also worried about her, that’s why I made a special trip to come here. Since the Sixth Sister is fine, I, as the elder sister, felt relieved. It’s getting late, so we should rest. I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Take care, Fourth Sister.”

Yu Qingjia sent the person away and watched Yu Qingya and Hongluan walk away before turning around and closing the door. Yu Qingya walked in the night breeze for a while and suddenly halted her steps,

“Something’s not right.”

No, there was a flaw in Yu Qingjia’s rhetoric.
