C27 The Death of Xin Ziyao(part II)

Gu Qing Li pondered as he walked. Since when did Xiao Yi Xiu become so benevolent? He had actually sent Xin Ziyao off with a piece of paper? Even though Ling Yue'er died, he didn't receive the slightest bit of mercy.

Gabriella asked cautiously, "Lady Li Yue, do you think that the Concubine Xin will do something else?"

"She?" Gu Qingli shook her head after thinking for a while. Xiao Yixiu wouldn't give her the chance to have any more thoughts. Although there was a letter for her to recuperate from, when she returned home, she would lose face for her family, and her days would not be good.

Wrong... She had neglected to notice that Xin Ziyao was the empress's man. The moment the empress found out about her accident in front of Xiao Yi Xiu, she would suspect that he had been exposed. In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, the empress would definitely not allow a person who lost to her to continue living!

This was why Xiao Yixiu had suddenly shown mercy!

After coming to this conclusion, she smiled coldly. How could she think of Xiao Yixiu as being merciful when he didn't make a move but instead tried to kill him with a knife?

Early the next morning, Gu Qingli was awoken by Yu Ying's voice. "What? Did Xin Wei's wife hang herself? "

She was sure that Yu Ying had purposely raised her voice so that she could hear. This little girl was usually gentle and never spoke loudly.

Yu Li was also very surprised. "Why?"

Jinshu's low voice sounded, "Last night, Madam Jia took Miss Li Yue to catch the traitor … Xin Wenjie was crippled and had to accept a letter of rest. It seems like she doesn't have the face to see anyone, right? "

"Bring this wangfei to take a look." As she listened to their gossip, Gu Qingli quickly finished dressing and washing up, then stood by the door.

Yu Li was shocked and immediately went silent. Recently, she had not dared to disrespect the princess, but the princess still looked at her with such a cold and frightening gaze.

Jin Zhui coughed lightly. "Your servant has heard of wangfei's illness …"

"Afraid of infection? "Stay away from this wangfei."

Jin Shu looked at this princess who had never been pampered since she entered the sect with disdain.

Yu Ying lightly pulled on her sleeve. "This servant will go with the wangfei."

Although Jin Shu was unwilling, she also followed behind Yu Ying and Gu Qing Li to see Xin Zi Yao.

The remaining Qin Zai Sang, Yue Li He, and Jiang Shiyu all cried loudly.

The rabbit died and the fox mourned. It hadn't been long since Ling Yue'er died. Xin Ziyao hanged herself as well. When they thought about their own destinies, their moods probably weren't that much better.

However, when they saw the princess consort coming over, the three of them were stunned and stopped crying. They stood far away from her, bowing as they pleased. It was obvious that the rumours of pulmonary tuberculosis had entered their ears as well.

"Go and lift the white cloth."

Yuli was stunned, while Jinshu stood far away, covering his mouth and nose with a look of disdain.

Yu Ying was about to take a step forward when she was pulled back by Gu Qing Li. She said coldly, "Yu Li, you go."

Yu Li was stunned. "Why would I …"

"You're this wangfei's concubine. Don't disappoint this wangfei's trust."

Jade pear swallowed a mouthful of saliva and unwillingly lifted the white cloth with trembling hands.

As she screamed miserably, she took a big step back. Finally, the state of Xin Ziyao's death revealed itself.

The person who was strangled to death was extremely terrifying. Other than his neck being covered in purplish black blood, there was also someone whose tongue would grow out of his body and not be able to retract. This was how Xin Ziyao was now. Her face was swollen purple, her tongue hanging out of her mouth, and even her eyes were wide open.

"Uncover them all!"

Gu Qingli's stern voice scared Yu Li so much that she trembled and raised her head to look at her.

"Did you hear that?"

Jade Pear could not help but turn pale. He closed his eyes and grabbed a corner of the white cloth, forcefully lifted it up and ran away.

Gu Qing Li bent down and carefully examined the various parts of the corpse. She even lifted Xin Zi Yao's lower jaw and undid her collar to examine the corpse. Then she tried to open her tightly clenched hands, but was stopped by the fact that the corpse had started to stiffen.

When all the women in the room saw her appearance, they sucked in a breath of cold air. They hadn't thought that the wangfei would be so bold.

"Did you see anything?" Xiao Yi Xiu's pleasant voice slowly rang out, containing a hint of coldness within.

No one knew when he had arrived.

Gu Qingli suddenly raised her head and swept a glance over him. "So what if you can see? So what if you can't see anything?"

"You don't think she hanged herself, do you? Otherwise, we can carefully examine it? " He clenched his fist and coughed lightly. Then, he walked closer step by step.

Jinshu quickly said, "Your majesty, you are a metal body, don't get too close."

However, Xiao Yi Xiu pushed her away as if he didn't care about her concerns.

Jin Shu pushed him back a step, looking a little wronged.

Gu Qing Li lowered his head and caressed the corpse's neck, saying: "The bruise marks are behind, and the local skin appears to be like parchment, which was created by dragging the corpse backwards with a strong and hard rope. The other bruise mark ascends, and although it partially overlaps with the ligature mark, you can still see the soft furrow mark, which is caused by the long period of time one hung on the beam with white silk after death."

"So, Xin Ziyao should be strangled first, before pretending to hang herself?"

"That's right."

Gu Qing Li ordered Yu Li to remove her shoes and socks, and Yu Li almost cried. But under her fierce gaze, she trembled as she did as she was told.

Gu Qingli unceremoniously lifted her skirt up to her knees, pointed at the purplish-red patch on the lower half of the corpse, and said: "The deposition of corpse spots, means that the corpse was indeed hanged up by someone as soon as it died, and only then would it fall on the lower half of the body, and only spread out. The time of death counts … It should be around midnight last night. "

Xiao Yi Xiu lightly clapped his hands and said calmly, "Your analysis makes sense. Continue."

"The corpse's hands are clenched tightly. I believe there are still some traces left inside — because the corpse can't be broken open now, it should be able to be examined after twelve hours."

"What do you think?"

"If someone strangled her to death, she would certainly resist. The most common action is to subconsciously grab the rope around her neck. She might scratch her palm, or leave some rope fibers between her fingernails. She might even pull something out of the killer's clothes during the process of scratching …"

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. "Seal off this room and let everyone leave. We'll come back for an autopsy in the afternoon. "Although Xin Ziyao has tarnished her family's reputation and insulted women, she still deserves to die. Someone actually dares to blatantly kill someone in this prince's mansion —"

He slowly turned his gaze in a circle, and everyone who saw him could not help but feel a chill seep into their bones.

Jiang Shiyu timidly opened her mouth, "Wang …" Master, can't we stay with elder sister? "

"I can. Accompany her to death."

Jiang Shiyu immediately kept quiet.

Everyone left, with Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li leading the way.

When he reached the fork in the road, he suddenly stopped and turned around. Gu Qing Li was lost in thought as she thought about the corpse, and her forehead almost hit his nose. She couldn't help but stare blankly.

The distance between them was so close that Xiao Yi Xiu's aura could not help but remind her of the dubious distance between them that night. For some reason, her ears started to turn red.

Xiao Yixiu stared at her, his expression calm, but the suspicious pinkish tinge on his white and round earlobes betrayed her feelings.

He suddenly felt that … This King's consort is rather interesting.
