Hou Jiawei brought everyone to the Hou family's cemetery. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was still faintly orange.
The cemetery was located on a barren mountain in the suburbs, and it was usually deserted.
After the Hou family's servants found the cemetery, they began to dig with hoes one by one. Soon, they had all carried the Hou family's young miss 'coffin up.
Due to the erosion of the rain in July and August, the surface of the coffin had begun to rot. Hou Jiawei pried open the coffin forcefully. The moment he opened the coffin, a cloud of green smoke suddenly rose from the wooden coffin.
After the green smoke dissipated, everyone dared to move forward.
"Look!" At this moment, Situ Qing Yu pointed at the bones in the coffin.
There was a set of white bones lying in the coffin. The teeth of the bones had fallen off, and there seemed to be something moving in the two black holes in the eye sockets.
"This corpse is clearly not the Hou family's young miss's!”After Situ Qingyu finished looking at the skeleton, he said,"It's obvious that the Hou family's young lady's corpse has been easily swapped!”
" Ah!" Everyone was speechless.
Du Penhong looked at the bones in the coffin, his heart filled with doubt.
If this skeleton did not belong to the Hou family's young miss, then whose was it?
Situ Qingyu clearly sensed everyone's doubts and explained,"Everyone, look at the head of this skeleton. The bones of the teeth were soft and the bones had already corroded and turned dark yellow. From the looks of it, this skeleton should be a forty-year-old woman, not a young woman!”
" And…" He pointed at the foot of the skeleton and continued,""The bones in the left leg of the corpse are obviously bent. Therefore, from these signs, it could be concluded that this corpse did not belong to the Hou family's young miss!”
"If that's the case, then where was my sister's corpse placed?”Hou Jiawei clenched his fist and smashed it heavily on the surface of the coffin. With a loud bang, the coffin immediately shattered into pieces!
"It's with the murderer!" Situ Qingyu took out a plain handkerchief and gently wiped the place where she had touched the skeleton just now.
After Situ Qing Yu finished investigating the scene, Du Pian Hong suddenly remembered the agreement between him and Sheng Ming Hao. Therefore, she pretended to be unwell and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone.
As she anxiously ran on the way to the Holy Palace, she realized that the Holy Palace was different from usual today.
From the moment she climbed over the palace wall, there was no one guarding her.
Hence, Du Pian Hong walked to the place where he had agreed to meet Sheng Ming Hao.
She pushed open the door and found that Sheng Minghao had not arrived in advance, so she found a quiet place to sit down.
At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of autumn cicadas could be heard.
"There is a beauty in the southern country, beautiful like peaches and plums. In the morning I travel to the north bank of the river, and in the evening I sleep at the edge of the river."
"The world is so vulgar, who has white teeth? It is difficult to rely on glory for a long time.”At this moment, a man's clear voice rang out from outside the room. Du Penhong was startled, and his intuition told him that the Sage Emperor had arrived.
Following that, a melodious zither sound rang out leisurely, and it sounded like large and small jade beads falling onto the jade plate.
Du Penhong stood up and walked out of the door, following the sound of the zither until he arrived at the "Elegant Pavilion" in the imperial garden.
She recalled that the first time she met the Sage Emperor was also like this!
"Sheng Minghao?" After the music stopped, she walked into the Elegant Pavilion and shouted.
"Sheng Minghao?" She repeated again, waiting for Sheng Minghao's reply.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in the darkness, causing Du Penhong to cower involuntarily.
" Pianpian…" Without warning, Sheng Minghao's voice rang in Du Panhong's ears. At some point, this person had quietly arrived beside Du Paihong.
Sheng Minghao bent down and wrapped his arms around Du Pianhong's waist, leaning his head on Du Pianhong's shoulder.
He blew a breath of hot air teasingly, causing Du Penhong's entire body to stiffen.
"When are you?" Just as she was about to speak, Sheng Minghao blocked her lips. Then, she felt something warm and slippery reach in.
" Uh…" Du Penhong struggled. He felt that Sheng Minghao's rudeness was against etiquette. Therefore, she kept hitting Sheng Minghao's chest, trying to escape as soon as she had the chance.
After a kiss, Sheng Minghao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. The moonlight shone on his face, adding a bit of seductiveness to his handsome face.
"What are you trying to do? How could you molest me like this!”Du Pian Hong was so angry that he kept punching Sheng Ming Hao, but he didn't care about it and directly swung his fist.
There seemed to be thousands of grievances in her heart, and she only wanted her to quickly vent them!
Recently, there were too many troubles that were suppressing her!
Miss Hou, Big Brother, Du Xiaojiu…
Everything was so unbelievable, and everything made her heart ache!!
However, Sheng Minghao still had to come and offend her when she was most troubled!
She was really furious!
Sheng Minghao quietly approached Du Penhong and pulled her into his arms. He gently patted Du Penhong's back, comforting her like he was comforting a child.
"How's my zither?" Sheng Minghao said gently, his eyes flashing with anticipation as he eagerly waited for Du Pian Hong's reply.
"Very good!" Du Shanhong replied. He then looked at Sheng Minghao," But I didn't hear the music at that time!”
Sheng Minghao lowered his head in disappointment.
At this moment, Du Shanhong's sharp eyes noticed Sheng Minghao's bandaged hands. He quickly grabbed his hands and asked,""What's going on?"
Sheng Minghao only smiled bitterly, then turned his back and said desolately,""Sigh…As expected, even if you practice hard for a whole day, you still can't reach his level!”
Him? Who was he?
Could he be referring to the Sage Emperor?
"Tell me, who are you?" Du Penhong gulped nervously as he waited quietly for the other party's reply.
"If I said I was the Sage Emperor, would you believe me?”Sheng Minghao turned around and smiled bitterly.
Du Shanhong shook his head, obviously not planning to let Sheng Minghao off.
"I've heard the Sage Emperor play the zither before, and I'm certain that it wasn't you!”
"Is that so?" Sheng Minghao looked at Du Pianhong sadly, then turned his back." Pianpian, are you willing to come with me to a place?"”After saying that, he stepped into the top floor of the Elegant Pavilion.
Du Shanhong followed closely behind Sheng Minghao, step by step…
Because she felt that Sheng Minghao was going to tell her the truth that she didn't know!!
