Chapter 97 - Chapter 97 097. Couple vs Play
In the end, she still could not hold it in. After entering the courtyard, she walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side and said in a low voice, "Princess, didn't we check Yuan Er's room yesterday?
Liu Ruo Qing stopped in her tracks, and looked straight into her eyes. Perhaps it was because of her guilt, but when Liu's met Liu Ruo Qing's sharp gaze, she subconsciously avoided her eyes.
"Wang …. "Princess …"
"When did I say that the murder scene was in Miss Shen's room?"
Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows at the nervous and uneasy Liu's, and asked a question in reply.
The corners of Liu's's mouth stiffened. The muscles on her well-maintained face twitched slightly as she said stiffly: "Yuan … Yuan Er's body was found in her room, so naturally … "Of course I'm here..."
"Humph!"
Liu Ruo Qing snorted coldly, interrupting the Liu's's words, "Women's opinion, the murderer will not move the corpse after killing the person?"
Her intentionally revealed a annoying and sharp expression, causing Liu's to feel a tinge of fear. Especially when she specifically emphasized "move the corpse", it made Liu's almost fall down on the spot.
"Turn... Moving bodies? "
"Since Mrs. Shen is so curious, follow me in and you'll know. Why ask so much?"
Liu Ruo Qing once again let out a cold laugh from the tip of her nose, and when she retracted his gaze, she actually unintentionally met Yan Yuan's gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat as she thought about how she woke up in bed in the morning. Her ears were inexplicably hot.
He hurriedly withdrew his gaze from Yan Yuan's face and moved it elsewhere.
With a feigned calmness, he calmed his slightly faster heartbeat and walked towards the flower garden that he had already inspected last night.
Seeing Liu Ruo Qing walking towards the flower garden, the Liu's's body trembled even more violently. Even Shen Chong, who had walked to her side, had noticed.
"What's wrong, ma'am? Why are you shaking so badly?"
"No …." "It's fine, the weather is a bit cold today, and I'm wearing less clothes."
"Why don't you go back to your room? I'll be here."
"Alright …"
Liu's was just about to make an excuse to leave, but she was naturally satisfied with what Shen Chong had said. However, she was stopped by Liu Ruo Qing's voice that came from the flower garden.
"How can the Mrs. Shen leave?"
She turned around with a faint smile on her face. Although it was a smile, to Liu's, that smile looked extremely strange.
"Mrs. Shen, you are the mother of Miss Shen's entire body. Don't you want to personally see This wangfei bringing honor to her?"
"This …"
Liu's did not dare to say more, afraid that Liu Ruo Qing would see through her weakness.
She had a nagging feeling that Crown Princess Jing was looking at her too fiercely, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.
In the end, Shen Chong's heart still ached for his wife. He hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Esteemed wangfei, my wife is only a little cold. She wants to go back and put on some clothes before coming over."
"Is it cold?"
Liu Ruo Qing's lips curled up, and the corner of her mouth carried a faint sense of ridicule. When she thought about how Liu's was the culprit who killed Shen Yuan, a ball of fire wanted to spew out.
"It just so happens that This wangfei feels that it's very hot, let me borrow this fur coat to wear."
She took off the fur cloak that Xiao Yue had given her in the morning and handed it over to Liu's.
The Liu's was clearly terrified, he quickly waved his hands and refused, "No, no, how would this humble woman dare to wear an imperial concubine's clothes?"
It's very hot, Mrs. Shen will wear these clothes, I'll just treat it as keeping them for me, after all, they might become colder later on, it'll be troublesome to dress up like this, back and forth. "Su Yun said in a low voice.
The way Liu Ruo Qing spoke made even Shen Chong, who was standing beside the Liu's, feel that something was off, as if the Crown Princess Jing was targeting his wife.
However, due to his status, he didn't dare to ask.
Since Liu Ruo Qing had already said this much, how could Liu's dare to reject? Naturally, she accepted it with fear and trepidation.
"You're welcome."
Liu Ruo Qing looked at her and smiled meaningfully. She then walked to the flower garden and pretended to be here for the first time as she looked at the flower garden carefully.
The instant he raised his eyes, he once again bumped into Yan Yuan's deep eyes that had an unknown meaning. The smile that hung at the corner of his mouth stiffened slightly, and his expression returned to normal in a panic.
After taking in a deep breath, she walked over to one of the plants in front of her with a calm expression. After that, she displayed a shocked expression and shouted: "Prince, Master Wei, come over and take a look."
Yan Yuan and Wei Jin then walked over, only to see Yan Yuan cooperating extremely well as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing and asked: "What is this?"
"Traces of people being dragged."
Liu Ruo Qing said as she pulled Wei Jin over, "Master Wei, come take a look, is it?"
"Yes, it was indeed a trail of someone being dragged."
Wei Jin took a glance, and immediately nodded. Then, he said: "Looks like after Miss Shen was killed here, she was dragged into her room, and arranged to commit suicide."
"Master Wei is really smart."
Liu Ruo Qing didn't hold back and stuck out her thumb, praising him.
Being praised so highly by the Crown Princess Jing, Wei Jin was naturally a little proud. He immediately continued: "Since Miss Shen was killed here, then we must be able to find some other clues."
At this moment, other than Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing, no one noticed that Liu's was so scared that her face had already lost all color. Standing beside Shen Chong, it seemed like he would fall anytime.
"I'll wait for This wangfei to look for it."
She then pretended to look around the flower garden. Under the Liu's's fearful eyes, she picked up the chicken bone grass vine that she had placed at the side of the garden yesterday. A trace of doubt appeared on her face, "Strange."
"What's wrong, Love Consort? What's strange?"
Yan Yuan walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side and asked.
"There isn't any chicken bone grass growing in this garden, so why is there a chicken bone grass vine here?"
She passed the chicken bone grass to Yan Yuan, who took it with a smile, and suddenly looked at her with a smile.
He lightly placed the chicken bone grass onto Liu Ruo Qing's neck and said, "This vine is quite resilient. In the future, if Love Consort is not obedient, I can use this to punish you."
Although the two of them seemed to be flirting, they were secretly guiding the Liu's's reaction.
"Prince, you did remind me just now, that this vine definitely did not appear here for no reason. The coroner found out that Miss Shen suffocated to death, but if she died here, then the white silk must have been stained with dirt, but the white silk was extremely clean. That is to say, the one who strangled Miss Shen was most likely not Bai Ling, but …"
