The whole country was mourning Xiao Wang's departure, and Dachu Newspaper and other newspapers mourned at the same time.
In late winter, he personally wrote a report and explained all the contributions Xiao Wang had made in the newspaper. He also published many beautiful poems in memory of him.
There were also people who wrote biographies specifically for Xiao Wang. As long as they didn't distort the facts or write random things to attract attention, Chu Xingchen didn't care. Xiao Wang deserved it.
There was also a story about the relationship between the Queen and Xiao Jun, but Chu Xingchen was silent and ignored it.
Xiao Wang is already dead, there is no need to deny those feelings anymore.
Xiao Wang was truly affectionate towards her and even gave his life for her.
I'm just afraid that Zhou Buyan won't mind.
But how could Zhou Buyan mind? Xiao Wang was trying to save His Majesty. Death was like a lamp going out. It would be outrageous for him to mind.
In later generations, many people have studied and evaluated Chu Xingchen, the legendary queen of Chu. She had a magnificent life, created countless miracles, unified the three kingdoms, and ushered in a prosperous age.
Of course, she is also very emotional.
When the queen was young, her favorite person was Xie Ziqing. Later, when she found out that Xie Ziqing had someone else in her heart, she decisively pulled away.
Xie Ziqing could only be regarded as a passer-by in the Queen's life and did not leave many traces.
Although Xie Ziqing later wrote many travel notes, he never forgot the Queen, but the Queen had already kicked him out of the palace.
Those who are most closely involved with the Queen are the four gentlemen, and they all have their own stories.
Shen Cangzhu, Shen Jun, was originally a strong candidate for the emperor's husband, but later he left the palace.
There are many stories that the Queen and Shen Cangzhu and Shen Shoufu had to tell among the people.
Lingzhou Lingjun was also recorded in history, although he later left the palace and had a biological son.
However, there are also many stories circulated among the people that the Queen and the Protector General had to tell.
But the ones that have been spread the most, that are most interesting to everyone, and worthy of study and the most recognized ones are the emperor Zhou Buyan and the noble prince Xiao Wang.
One is that His Majesty only had one royal husband for decades to come, and he fell in love with his husband Zhou Buyan for the rest of his life.
There is no doubt about the affection between the two of them, as evidenced by countless daily records and records.
The other one is your noble Lord Xiao Wang.
The most beautiful and noble Lord Xiao Wang died young in order to save His Majesty, making countless people burst into tears.
The Queen of Dachu never forgot him, and their story is known to countless people.
Everyone in Feng'an City knows that outside of holidays, the palace will have two special fireworks every year.
One was Xiao Wang's birthday, which was his unique birthday gift promised by the Queen.
During her lifetime, the Queen never forgot it.
Everyone in Feng'an City knows that this is Xiao Jun's unique gift. Every March 24th, everyone will wait to see the fireworks.
That day was not only Xiao Wang's birthday, but also a day that many people in Feng'an City were looking forward to.
It has become their habit to invite family, friends, and beloved girls to climb up and watch the fireworks together.
After Xiao Guijun's death, the Queen never forgot him.
Every year on this day, fireworks still bloom.
And as the fireworks get better and better, they become more and more lively.
After knowing their habits, the Queen would also set them off specially in Feng'an City.
This is unique to Xiao Guijun, and even the birthdays of the Queen and the Royal Husband are not as lively.
It's just that after Xiao Guijun's death, there was another fireworks event on Xiao Guijun's death anniversary.
That was the last thing the Queen gave him, his unique tribute.
Xiao Guijun's life was like fireworks, extremely splendid. Although his life was short, it amazed everyone and made people unforgettable forever.
Xiao Wang's death is a pain for the people of Chu and everyone.
In such grief, Chu Xingchen ordered a ruthless investigation of Qi's spies.
Anyone found to be related to Xiao Wang's death will be killed without mercy!
But there was not much progress. Some people were identified, but there were very few of them.
It was as if so many situations suddenly appeared before and everything that led to Xiao Wangshen's death was an illusion.
The investigation of the incident reached a deadlock until Lu Qiu discovered anomalies on the bodies of the Imperial Guards and Qiu Lai.
He actually peeled off a layer of human skin on their faces.
There is no flaw in the face, no matter how many people have checked it, no abnormality has been found.
It was Lu Qiu who noticed clearly and said that it didn't feel right to the touch. In addition, he looked at the imperial guard with a slightly crooked mouth and found it awkward, so he studied it carefully.
Finally, with his superb skills, the thin human skin was torn off from their faces bit by bit.
The human skin was stuck to the original face. It took Lu Qiu five hours to tear off the human skin without damaging it completely.
Those who originally thought it was impossible were shocked when they saw the human skin being torn off, and when they saw completely unfamiliar faces revealed under those familiar faces.
When the human skin that caused so much chaos and showed no flaws was placed in front of Chu Xingchen, Chu Xingchen closed his eyes.
"So there wasn't that much betrayal at all. They didn't betray Da Chu. They were killed and skinned, replacing the imperial guards and Qiu Lai."
"yes."
"Look for their bodies first, find them as soon as possible, and after a thorough investigation, if there is no problem, they will be buried generously and they should be compensated."
After Chu Xingchen gave the instructions, he asked about the face change.
"Is there any precedent for human skin before?" This kind of thing should only exist in legends.
"Yes." Lu Qiu gave an affirmative answer.
"Fifteen years ago, some people said they could change their faces, and there were many cases of people being stripped of their faces. But then the murderer was caught, and such cases disappeared. I didn't expect that they would happen again."
And he is still among the spies of Qi State.
Chu Xingchen took the file handed over by Lu Qiu and looked at the cases from more than ten years ago.
In a county town, five skinned corpses suddenly appeared. The corpses were discovered accidentally, which alarmed the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple went to investigate the case to find the murderer. They searched for three months, but could not find it.
to the suspect.
The case fell into a dilemma, and local people had different opinions, and it caused a certain amount of panic.
Dali Temple was once said to be incompetent, and almost gave in to the situation, but fortunately it was stopped later.
This case has also become unsolved.
A year later, a local squire came to the Yamen to report that their son wanted to kill them and that a demon lived in his body.
The Yamen went to arrest his son, and the unsolved skinning case suddenly took a turn for the better.
It turns out that this country squire's son went on a long trip a year ago, and when he came back, he changed a bit.
The man has lost weight, and there are abnormalities everywhere. He used to study poetry and books very hard, but suddenly he doesn't like reading and just wants to be happy and happy.
In the past, he and his wife had nothing to do with each other, but after that, not only did they not let the maid off, they also liked to go to brothels.
My tastes and preferences have changed. I am impatient with my parents' preaching. I am also impatient with my only son, and I almost kicked him to death.
In this situation, we have to suspect that my son has been replaced, but his face is exactly the same, even the mole on his chin is exactly the same.
They didn't know why they had the same face, why it had changed so much, and they thought they were possessed by some monster.
I even hired a master to perform rituals before, but it was useless. Such behavior angered my sons, and in the end I even wanted to kill them.
Later, after the Yamen caught him, they found out through verification that apart from his face, the son couldn't tell much about him, and he couldn't even remember what happened when he was a child.
His mother was greatly irritated and went to scratch his face, but finally figured out the situation.
After detailed investigation and bold assumptions, a layer of human skin was finally peeled off the son's face.
After the human skin is removed, the so-called son is a complete stranger.
