C148 The smell of a dungeon

"How did you know about this?"

With a thought, Baili Jinxiu sensed that something was unusual about this matter.

Logically speaking, this was the marriage of the only direct descendant of the second house in Jiang Mansion, so it was naturally not a small matter.

His grandmother from the Grandfather was still alive, and the relationship between his grandmother and the Empress Dowager was not ordinary. Gong Yuyun had been raised by the empress dowager since young, but rarely came out to see guests.

When the empress dowager wanted to go and pray, she would immediately take Gong Yuyun, the successor, away. Logically speaking, a man like Gong Yuyun should already be married.

However, this was strange.

Gong Yuyun was the orphan of the empress dowager's youngest son, and was his cousin to Gong Xiaoxuan and the others.

But the imperial concubine was the empress dowager's niece, and Gong Xiaoche was the empress dowager's most beloved grandson. Otherwise, how could the empress dowager, who was a friend of his grandmother, betroth him to Gong Xiaoche?

It was because the empress dowager doted on Gong Xiaoche and her own Grandfather had not yet resigned from her position. In the imperial court, she could be said to be the strongest official amongst the group of officials and was one of the most important officials below ten thousand people.

At that time, Jiang Ge had not yet been born and she was still Grandfather's only granddaughter. Even if it was his granddaughter, he was still the best candidate for the marriage.

So, he was bestowed marriage with Gong Xiaoche just like that.

And according to the news that Baili Jinxiu had gotten from the Grandpa Mu, the relationship between the Empress and the empress dowager could be seen from many places.

The empress dowager favored imperial concubines and was more willing to let Emperor favor her.

But Gong Yuyun was the closest to the empress dowager. Under such circumstances, how could the empress who didn't get along with the empress dowager want to propose marriage to Jiang Ge?

"Did Grandmother come to the palace to tell me about this?"

If it was his grandmother who entered the palace, the empress dowager might have specifically ordered her to speak up.

Jiang Ge said shyly, "No, it was when my mother entered the palace."

Baili Jinxiu's heart thumped. Can she tell Jiang Ge that she smelled a conspiracy?

When Baili Jinxiu went back to listen to his mother, he felt that this matter was even more strange.

At night, Baili Jinxiu could only listen to the baby's incessant chatter in his mind. In addition to what had happened with Jiang Ge, he was still unable to sit still.

They directly rushed towards the Prince An Palace. The way she was dressed up now was also painted on, so the guards could recognize her.

"Is the Prince here?"

Just as Baili Jinxiu stood at the door and asked the guards, he saw Gong Xiaoxuan walk out. Behind him followed He Sheng and a few others.

Upon seeing Baili Jinxiu, He Sheng and the others greeted him respectfully.

"Nice to meet you, Miss."

"Hello everyone, are you going out?" Baili Jinxiu asked curiously, but did not dare to take a glance at Gong Xiaoxuan.

Afraid that if she looked once, Gong Xiaoxuan would ask her if she wanted to get married?

Heavens, the shadow left on her that night was too big.

"Miss, do you want to go with us? Prince is going to the army camp now. "

He Sheng gave Baili Jinxiu a meaningful glance, and Baili Jinxiu immediately understood what he meant.

The military camp. That dungeon was in the military camp. So, did something happen to them?

Baili Jinxiu immediately nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, "Alright, I will go with you. "Prepare the horses for me."

Gong Xiaoxuan looked at Baili Jinxiu who had been looking down on him this whole time, and frowned his heroic eyebrows, "It's good that you and I will ride the same horse."

"Prince, this isn't appropriate, is it? I can ride a good horse myself. "

Baili Jinxiu patted his chest as he promised, but felt the space in front of him sway, as he was lifted up.

Damn, his martial arts skills are not as good as Gong Xiaoxuan's, what if he can't beat him? Online, urgent.

He Sheng saw his own Prince leading his Miss Baili on his horse, so he didn't waste any more time. After getting on his horse, they left the city overnight.

When Baili Jinxiu arrived at the camp and was brought to the dungeon by Gong Xiaoxuan, Baili Jinxiu was shocked to discover that there were a lot of criminals in the dungeon.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too straightforward, He Sheng explained.

"The people that you and Prince captured last time were also imprisoned here."

Baili Jinxiu looked at the people locked up in the dungeon and could no longer see their appearances clearly. He asked in shock: "These people are the men in black who attacked your Prince that night?"

He Sheng nodded, but he felt his legs go numb.

Oh my god! That night, the men in black who looked like martial artists were all transformed into ghosts and human beings in a very short period of time after they had taken off their masks.

Looks like the method of interrogating in this dungeon is really incredible.

"Miss, the most recent problem is that the two spies that were no longer interrogated survived.

However, these men in black were just like the spies who had died, all of them looking like they were dead.

Before they died, there were no traces of them. It was all in the span of a single night, so they died just like that. The corpses are all lying around, is Miss going to take a look? "

When Baili Jinxiu heard this, the smile on his face immediately became serious.

"Another person died in this dungeon? But those two spies are fine? "

"Yes." He Sheng nodded and led Baili Jinxiu to the morgue.

Raising the body that was covered up, Baili Jinxiu took a look at them one by one.

Baili Jinxiu carefully examined all the corpses, there were eight new corpses, and the symptoms of these corpses were exactly the same as the previous ones, it seemed like they were all poisoned.

"Take me to see the rest." There was a strict seriousness on Baili Jinxiu's face.

Gong Xiaoxuan nodded, and then led Baili Jinxiu into the dungeon.

Just as he entered, Baili Jinxiu smelled the unpleasant odor from the dungeon. This time, the taste was even worse.

"What's with the smell?" Baili Jinxiu asked, because he was not as clear as He Sheng and the rest on the terrain here, Baili Jinxiu did not mind to ask them directly.

He Sheng took a whiff, but shook his head and asked suspiciously, "Miss, what smell are you talking about?"

Baili Jinxiu's footsteps paused, he had already asked He Sheng about this smell before, and He Sheng had also said that he had asked someone to check it out, so how could he not know what it was.

"Can't you smell it? Is there a smell in this dungeon?"

Baili Jinxiu was a doctor and a Poison Doctor, her nose could even be called a dog nose. As long as there was something with smell, it would not be able to escape her nose.

He Sheng shook his head, looking at the other hidden guards behind him, the others shook their heads as well.

Baili Jinxiu looked at Gong Xiaoxuan in disbelief: "What about you?"
