"Princess Wan Hua, you've already lost a round. If you don't answer, it means you've lost!”A general shouted, and the other generals laughed along.
Feng Wanhua was ashamed and angry, her beautiful eyes already filled with tears.
Ouyang Xu couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud. Murong Yan 'er had long since collapsed from laughing so hard that she had lost her image.
When the Grand Empress Dowager saw that her niece was humiliated, she was abnormally angry and stood up." Qiyun Zinuo, you are impudent. This is the Imperial Palace, how can you behave atrociously here!”
Yuan Zinuo looked coldly at the Grand Empress Dowager," Grand Empress Dowager, I made a bet with Princess Wan Hua. Everyone can testify. Now that Princess Wan Hua can't afford to lose, how did it become me acting atrociously?”
"That's right. So that's all the number one talented woman in the capital is!”The few generals wouldn't stop until they trampled Feng Wanhua under their feet today and followed suit.
"Grand Empress Dowager, it's my daughter's skill that is inferior to others. It's not Miss Qi Yun's fault, this official will take her back first!”Feng Jinmo stood up and came to Feng Wanhua's side, protecting her in his arms.
Her father had already stood up, so the Empress Dowager could not say anything more and could only give up.
Feng Wanhua naturally didn't dare to stay here anymore, and Feng Jinmo left dejectedly. Because of this, the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet suddenly became a hot topic.
Ouyang Xu claimed that he was tired and left the banquet. Before he left, he gave Yuan Zinuo a look.
Yuan Zinuo took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and left the banquet. When she arrived at Zhengyang Palace, Little Li stood at the door with a mysterious expression and a sly smile.
When they entered the bedroom, red candles were lit everywhere, creating a romantic atmosphere. Ouyang Xu stood by the bed in loose white pajamas. His black hair was all over his shoulders, and there was a faint smile on his lips. His black eyes were filled with faint tenderness, and he looked charming and charming under the pink candlelight. The air was filled with a faint sweet fragrance, like the fragrance of Lanruo, which added a sense of warmth.
"Emperor, this servant was ordered to send poison wine to Consort De, but who knew that Consort De had already hanged herself!”Little Li was Ouyang Xu's confidant and knew a thing or two about Ouyang Xu's plan. He had come to report anxiously when he found out that Consort De was dead.
Ouyang Xu and Yuan Zinuo no longer had the mood to continue and sat up.
"You rest first, I'll go take a look!" Ouyang Xu picked up the clothes on the ground and handed them to Yuan Zinuo before putting on his own clothes.
"I'll go with you!" Yuan Zinuo quickly put on her clothes." I know some simple autopsy techniques. I might be able to help!”
"Alright then!" Ouyang Xu held Yuan Zinuo's hand and quickly arrived at Ming De Palace. Because of the seriousness of the matter, Little Li did not dare to expand the matter. Currently, there was no one else in there other than Consort De's personal palace maids.
Consort De lay quietly on the bed. Her death was very peaceful, and her entire palace dress was neat and tidy, as if she had long been prepared to die.
Yuan Zinuo walked to Consort De's side and lifted her neck. A red mark with a slight bruise was particularly obvious on her neck." Who discovered Consort De first?"”
"It's this servant!" Yan 'er stood out, looking like she was still in fear.
"Did she look up or down when she died?”Yuan Zinuo flipped over Consort De's neck and touched the back of her neck.
"Yes, it's raising its head!" Yan 'er was still trembling as she spoke. It was obvious that she was quite frightened.
"Then when did you find out?”Yuan Zinuo already had a clue in her heart as she turned around to look at Yan 'er.
"After the Emperor left this afternoon, Consort De Niangniang locked herself in the room and did not eat dinner. Later, when it was dark, Niangniang did not let anyone light the lamp. This servant waited outside until Lord Li brought people to bestow poison wine. This servant knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, so this servant boldly pushed open the door. When I came in, I found that Niangniang had committed suicide!”Yan 'er kept her head down, and her expression could not be seen.
"All of you can leave!" Ouyang Xu dismissed everyone and came to Yuan Zinuo's side. He looked at Consort De who was lying peacefully on the bed and frowned deeply." What did you find?"”
"She didn't commit suicide!" Yuan Zinuo pointed at Consort De's neck." If she really hung herself, her tongue would have stuck out and her eyes would have popped out after she died. However, she looked very peaceful. Also, the person who hung herself had her head lowered after she died, not raised. This means that she was hung up again after she died! " Look..." Yuan Zinuo pointed at Consort De's face." Her face is black and blue, which means she died from suffocation. According to my speculation, she should have been strangled from behind and then hung up. Moreover, this person is someone she is familiar with. He strangled her when she was unprepared!”
"Yes!" Ouyang Xu looked at Yuan Zinuo strangely." Why are you so sure that it's someone you're familiar with?”
Yuan Zinuo lifted Consort De's hand." If a normal person was strangled to death by a stranger, they would resist. The most direct reaction would be to use their hands to grab the rope around their neck. Her nails were so long, so there must be scratches on her neck. However, there were no scratches on her neck, which meant that the person who strangled her was someone she was familiar with. That's why she didn't resist, because she knew that resisting was useless!”
"Then who could it be?" Ouyang Xu stared at Yuan Zinuo doubtfully, hoping that Yuan Zinuo could give him some suggestions.
Yuan Zinuo shrugged." I only analyzed some possibilities based on the condition of the corpse, but I'm not a god. How could I know who the murderer is?”
"Ghost Shadow!" Ouyang Xu turned around and shouted at the dark. A black shadow appeared and knelt respectfully in front of him." Bring all the palace maids in Ming De Palace to be properly interrogated! Send someone to inform Ming Hong of this matter!"
"Yes, sir!" Phantom received the order and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Can big brother accept it?" Yuan Zinuo looked at Ouyang Xu worriedly. Even if Ming Hong did not like Dongfang Caiwei, she was pregnant with his child after all. Would Ming Hong be able to accept such a baffling death?
"He must accept it!" Ouyang Xu knew what Yuan Zinuo was worried about, but as the only surviving child of the Yu Family, there were some things that he had to face.
"Actually, Dongfang Caiwei is very pitiful. She fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved, and her family treated her as an abandoned child. Death might really be a release for her!”Yuan Zinuo stood up and sighed lightly. She turned around to look at Ouyang Xu." I'm tired, so I'll go home first!”
"I'll send you off!" Ouyang Xu knew that Yuan Zinuo was sad about Consort De's death, so he went forward to help Yuan Zinuo out of Ming De Palace.
"I'll go back by myself. You still have many things to deal with!”Yuan Zinuo rejected Ouyang Xu's escort. It was not that she was unwilling, but she needed to be alone for a while. There were some problems that she needed to think about properly.
"I'm worried about you alone!" Too many things had happened recently, and he was afraid that those people would point the spearhead at Yuan Zinuo.
"With my current ability, if there's still someone who can do anything to me, it's useless for you to follow me. Don't worry, I'm no longer the Yu Zi Nuo of the past!”After a year of cultivation, her current ability was already unmatched in the entire Hanyu Empire. Even Ouyang Xu was probably not her match.
Ouyang Xu shook his head, his large hand wrapped around Yuan Zinuo's waist." Even if my ability can't protect you, I still hope that I can die in front of you!”Without waiting for Yuan Zinuo to nod, Ouyang Xu carried her and flew up, blending into the darkness.
At this moment, Yuan Zinuo was shocked. Dying in front of her? Ouyang Xu had already completely abandoned the dignity of an emperor. He had thrown away all his worries and only existed for her. Yuan Zinuo hugged Ouyang Xu's neck tightly. His side profile was just inches away. She could feel his breathing and heartbeat. She could also feel the warmth and strength of the hands that were hugging her. She had nothing else to ask for in this life to be able to obtain his love.
After a few leaps, the two of them had already landed on Yuan Zinuo's Phoenix Return Pavilion.
"Ouyang Xu, marry me!" Yuan Zinuo was still nestled in Ouyang Xu's embrace, unwilling to come down. She leaned against Ouyang Xu's chest and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat, feeling that everything had become so beautiful. No matter how many thorns were ahead, with such a person accompanying you, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Ouyang Xu stopped in his tracks and stood there in a daze. His black eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise. He slowly lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, and his tone was a little excited.”
