C114 Part1

....

The Hall was silent, and the court lady waved a large feather fan, fanning out the cool breeze.

Qin Ruo frowned and asked,

"Didn't Master Shen just say that Lin Shu's fatal injury was a stabbing?

That Miss Rong is just a young lady, so how can she have such Martial Arts?

How did Lin Yu conclude that Miss Rong was the murderer who killed her brother?"

Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows slightly,

"Miss Lin Yu indeed has no evidence to prove that Miss Rong was the murderer of her brother, but she thinks Miss Rong is the murderer."

"This is too arbitrary."

Ruyi said.

"The Prefect of Yizhou Prefecture couldn't also detect who the murderer of this case was, so Miss Lin Yu took her brother's body to the Capital to file a complaint, right?"

Murong Ci felt that the case was quite paradoxical.

"Because Miss Rong is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the Capital, she wants to sue Miss Rong."

He said with a frown.

"Can you find Miss Rong with just one surname?"

Qin Ruo curled her lips.

"I have already ordered to go down and screen out the list or people with the surname Rong in the entire Capital.

I believe there will be results soon."

Shen Zhiyan smiled.

"Where will Miss Lin Yu stay during this period?"

Murong Ci asked.

"I let her live in the backyard of the Dali Temple temporarily.

She's short on silver, and the Dali Temple is just short on personnel for chores.

So I will let her help in the kitchen and clean the room."

His thoughtful face was quite appreciative,

"Miss Lin is a good girl with quick hands and feet, and she works hard without complaining."

He had long seen that Miss Lin Yu had a pure-hearted, flexible and tough temperament, and she was an unyielding and unforgiving person.

Therefore, he will help Lin Yu.

Having said so, Shen Zhiyan sat down to eat fresh fruits.

At this time, an attendant rushed in, with a slightly flustered expression,

"Your Highness, there is news from the Princess' Palace, Jinghong Hall, that there is something wrong with the Princess and the Consort Husband."

Murong Ci was shocked,

"What happened?"

The servant replied:

"This subordinate doesn't know the details, but just heard other Palace people mention it, and immediately returned to report to Your Highness."

Shen Zhiyan frowned in surprise,

"Why is the Consort Husband in the Princess' Palace?"

She stood up and said,

"Come with me to the Jinghong Hall and take a look."

The two hurried to the Jinghong Hall.

The Guards and the Palace staff stood in rows in front of the Hall.

Some were whispering, and some looked at the Hall anxiously.

Seeing the Prince arriving, the Guards and Palace people bowed and saluted,

"Greetings, Your Royal Highness and Lord Shen."

Murong Ci glanced at the Hall, and asked coldly,

"Where is the attendant in charge here?"

A servant in his twenties came out, bowed his head and said:

"This servant is the person in charge of the Jinghong Hall."

Seeing that the servant was trembling with fright, she asked displeasedly:

"Since I heard the Princess has something wrong, shouldn't you be there to serve her?"

"The Princess doesn't like we servants to serve her in the Palace, only her close Court Lady, Yuan Xiu is allowed to serve the Princess closely."

The servant replied tremblingly.

"You useless things!"

Murong Ci angrily scolded.

"What happened?"

Shen Zhiyan asked with a frown.

"About half an hour ago, Young Master Gong came to visit the Princess.

The Princess was in a good mood and asked the servants and other Palace staff to send in food to cool off the heat, and then the servants withdrew.

Only Yuan Xiu was waiting in the Hall."

The servant replied,

" After a few minutes, this servant saw Yuan Xiu coming out, as if to go to the hut.

As soon as Yuan Xiu came back, we heard a terrible scream from the Sleeping Hall."

"Who was screaming?"

Murong Ci looked at Shen Zhiyan suspiciously.

'It shouldn't be Zhaohua, right?'

"What we heard was the voice of the Consort Husband."

The servant's complexion changed slightly, and he looked irritated and frightened.

"We heard the cry, worried about the Princess, so we rushed in, but we saw... "

"Saw what?"

she asked angrily.

"We rushed into the Sleeping Hall and saw..."

He swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with fear,

"We saw Young Master Gong sitting on the floor in the Sleeping Hall, blood dripping..."

Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci looked at each other and rushed in immediately.
