Chapter 269 Ten Corpses

When the last corpse was brought in, you could almost see the bones... A total of ten corpses were arranged in order and placed in the hall. Each corpse was covered with a brand new white cloth. But some corpses were too rotten, even if Even after covering it with a white cloth, it still couldn't hide the stench of the corpse. Concubine Zhao's face turned pale, and she was so sick that she almost vomited. She pinched the veil, covered the corner of her mouth, lowered her head and vomited a few times. She unconsciously He held the emperor's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

Not only was she horrified, but the emperor's face was also full of shock. He opened his mouth and looked at this scene in disbelief. There were ten corpses in total. This was the first time he had seen such a shocking scene... He never knew that his harem There were so many corpses hidden inside? The emperor looked at Xiao Tingyan with an ugly expression: "Where did you find these corpses?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Tingyan's eyes: "Back to my brother, I was pulled out from the bottom of the lake... From the beginning, I felt something was wrong. So I sent someone to carefully survey the lake..." " Who knows, first a corpse was found, and then more and more corpses were found, led by this corpse. Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I also asked the emperor to send someone to conduct an autopsy immediately... This should be the largest corpse hiding case since the founding of the Southern Prefecture. If this corpse hiding case is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid it will cause unrest among the subjects of the Southern Prefecture..." Zhou Tong recovered from the shock, and he quickly knelt down. He took the initiative to ask for help: "Your Majesty, please ask me to summon the couple to the palace immediately for an autopsy. This matter should be done sooner rather than later..." Xiao Xuanrui felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his eyes were full of fear. Even though he had seen Jiu before. Wan Yun's army was bleeding like a river, but now that he saw so many rotting corpses placed in Qiongyu Palace, he still found it incredible. Su Zheng almost fainted from fright. He looked at the one closest to him The corpse shouted in horror: "Ah, I saw it. The neck of this corpse has the same strangulation marks as Xue'er. Is it possible that these corpses were all killed by Yun Luan?"

As soon as he said this, he immediately elicited a sneer from Xiao Tingyan. "Master Su really praised Aluan... The number of times Aluan has entered the palace can be counted on one finger. According to my understanding, the last time she entered the palace was almost When she was ten years old, how could a ten-year-old girl kill several adult palace maids?"

Su Zheng opened his mouth and was speechless. He suddenly realized something and suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Tingyan: "Yes, so...the appearance of these ten corpses fully shows that the person who killed Xue'er may be the one who killed Xue'er." It’s not Yun Luan, but someone else?”

Su Zheng could think of this, and others naturally thought of it too. But they just wanted to pretend to be confused. Xiao Tingyan raised his eyebrows and said with a noncommittal smile: "Master Su is not that stupid... But now, there is no proof. If there is evidence, we still need to ask the autopsy to come over as soon as possible."

The emperor's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly. He naturally knew that this matter was of great importance, and if it was not handled well, big trouble might happen. He did not delay any longer, and even asked Zhou Tong to invite the Dali Temple. All the workers came over to conduct an autopsy. Concubine Zhao couldn't bear such a horrific scene, and she asked with a trembling voice to go back to the palace. Seeing that she was really frightened, the emperor quickly agreed, and immediately asked Xiao Xuanrui to send her back to Feiyue Palace. Concubine Zhao's legs, They were almost all soft. She was supported by Xiao Xuanrui and walked out of the palace. Their mother and son returned to Feiyue Palace. Concubine Zhao turned pale and asked everyone to leave. Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the entire hall. Concubine Zhao Holding Xiao Xuanrui's hand tightly, he asked in a trembling voice: "Rui'er, do those ten dead bodies have anything to do with you?"

Xiao Xuanrui shook his head slowly without hesitation: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with me. Including Su Xiaoxue's death tonight, it has nothing to do with me."

A stone in Zhao Guifei's heart completely fell to the ground. Her eyes were full of fear, and her body was shaking slightly uncontrollably. "As long as it has nothing to do with you..." "We can't be involved in this matter, Rui'er will do it from now on." "First of all, please don't care about this anymore. Don't even do anything to add insult to injury to Yun Luan..." "I really didn't expect that Xiao Tingyan was so powerful and could dig out so many dead bodies from the bottom of the lake. If I Gong's guess is correct, these ten corpses are definitely related to Su Xiaoxue's death."

Xiao Xuanrui frowned: "Mother, you are talking about this, who did it? Killed so many people in the palace and were not discovered for such a long time? Such blatant killing of human lives... is really shocking. fear."

Concubine Zhao eased her nervousness. She kept taking deep breaths and gradually regained her composure. She was silent for a long time, and then she slowly said: "I also want to know... what happens next, we will observe in secret. Just a little, this fire cannot burn us no matter what."

Xiao Xuanrui nodded solemnly. Concubine Shu was also scared to death, and Liu Yanran was even colder. Seeing Concubine Zhao get off easily, she immediately tugged on Concubine Shu's sleeves and whispered a reminder One sentence: "Aunt, please also ask the emperor to allow us to leave."

"The rancid smell here is so unpleasant. I don't want to stay here anymore..." Concubine Shu had this intention, so she nodded quickly. She pretended to be scared and her eyes were red, and she looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty... …I am so scared, can you please let me leave this place too?”

The emperor's eyes were completely blank. He had just looked at Concubine Zhao's tender eyes and replied calmly: "These are all dead bodies. They won't fake corpses to harm you. What are you afraid of?"
