Chapter 1180: Chapter 1176: Leng Shuqing Suddenly Bursts In
Wang Yun was startled by her touch, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, yet at that moment, she was exceptionally alert.
Before Su Yingxue left, she smiled and said to her, “No one can kill the thoughts in your mind, but the steps you take are for you to decide! However, by the emperor’s side… I can tell you definitely, you cannot reach there.” @@novelbin@@
The position next to Chu Yihan had already been taken by her.
No one else could reach it.
Seeing that Wang Yun was somewhat unconventional, which she admired, she did not want to be too harsh on her, but she had to give the warnings and reminders that were due.
Wang Yun stood there, stunned, and before she could even feel embarrassed, she was completely subdued by Su Yingxue’s aura.
She was just a maid in the palace, wasn’t she?
But why, seeing Su Yingxue standing next to Chu Yihan, did it seem so fitting, making her feel like they were a perfect match?
Chu Yihan did not reject her; even when he turned his head, he would lower it and smile at her.
“One, two, three, lift!”
With the hard shouts of the bailiffs, the deeply buried coffin was raised, made of the finest fir wood. It had been buried for some time and yet was not decayed, though the body inside already smelled terribly.
Chu Yihan ordered Wang Jingzhi to transport the body back to Yangzhou Prefecture, placed it in the morgue, and then used insect repellent medicine to first clean up Wang Weiran’s corpse.
Su Yingxue put on her examination attire, wore a mask, and then entered the morgue with Chu Yihan.
Outside the door, Wang Yun also wanted to enter; she wished to take another look at her father, but Wang Jingzhi said, “This maid will personally examine the body, and with the emperor present, outsiders must not disturb.”
Even he, the Prefect of Yangzhou, dared not enter, so Wang Yun nodded and naturally dared not say anything else.
In the morgue, Su Yingxue had just begun the examination; there were several bruises on Wang Weiran’s body, results of someone beating him. Before she even opened her mouth to tell Chu Yihan, someone outside shouted loudly:
“The empress arrives—”
“The empress?” Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, “Imperial Consort Leng has come?”
A hint of coldness appeared in Chu Yihan’s eyes and brows, “Ridiculous!”
Su Yingxue’s work didn’t stop as she teased Chu Yihan, “The emperor truly is captivating. Earlier, Wang Yun harbored admiration for Your Majesty, and now, the Imperial Consort has come looking for you. Perhaps she’s worried since Your Majesty didn’t return last night?”
“Su Yingxue, do you still want to examine the body tonight?” Chu Yihan glared fiercely at her.
Su Yingxue blurted out, “Of course I do, but if not examining the body, what else can the emperor have me do?”
“I can fix you!” Chu Yihan pinched her face hard, then asked her to change out of her clothes and come out with him to meet Leng Shuqing first.
Now, Leng Shuqing, assuming the role of the empress, had arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture, and it wouldn’t be proper for him, the emperor, not to meet her.
Su Yingxue struggled from Chu Yihan’s grasp, “To meet the ’empress,’ you can go by yourself, Your Majesty. Why drag me along? I still have to examine the body!”
She was now a maid, not the empress; she didn’t need to follow Chu Yihan’s every step!
She could finish her own work first. The sooner the examination was done, the sooner the cause of Wang Weiran’s death would be determined!
Chu Yihan gripped her hand, pulled her into his arms directly, “Give me a chance to meet the ’empress’ alone? Think again, I do not permit it!”
“Hey, Chu Yihan!”
Su Yingxue, left with no choice, was taken by Chu Yihan to meet the ’empress’, and it was purportedly to serve him and the empress.
What do you think?
