MTL - Jade Without Fragrance-Chapter 246 Shocked
Chapter 246 Shocking
The person who walked in was Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jinlinwei.
Chen Mu's mouth could not be pried open for a long time, and the master of disguise has not been found yet. Today, although the official gap is not as constant as it was some time ago, in fact, it is light and dark, and Jin Linwei in civilian clothes is everywhere to pay attention to abnormal situations.
The movement of Wuweizhai was not small, and it was reported by Jinlin Guardian to Cheng Maoming who happened to be here.
"Is the prince too?" Among the group of people, Cheng Maoming saw Qi Shuo at a glance.
Qi Shuo felt slightly relieved when he saw Cheng Maoming.
There is a scene of Jinlin guard guarding, at least it will not be worse.
In fact, the people who drank in the lobby were either rich or expensive, and they were all very winking, so only two of them drank too much and wanted to leave, while the others waited wisely.
If the accident upstairs is really the prince, the one who makes a fuss to leave is asking for trouble.
"Why do you kick people——" The person who was kicked struggled to remember, but was hurriedly stopped by his companions, "Stop making trouble, Jin Linwei!"
The three words "Jin Linwei" were like a hangover medicine, which immediately made the man regain most of his senses, and huddled behind his companions and did not dare to say a word.
Cheng Maoming approached Qi Shuo and asked in a low voice, "Does the prince know what happened?"
The subordinates reported that it seemed that something happened to the prince, so to be cautious, I would ask more questions.
"Someone on the second floor has been calling your Highness." Qi Shuo didn't say it too firmly.
Cheng Maoming was stunned, nodded and quickly walked up to the second floor.
At this moment, a terrified cry came from the private room: "Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up!"
These shouts made one's scalp tingle, and even the guard who was at the entrance of the stairs couldn't help but look at the situation.
Cheng Maoming strode over and saw the situation in the room clearly, as if struck by lightning.
The prince was lying in Wen Feng's arms, his face was purple and blue, his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he was clearly out of breath!
Prince died?
Cheng Maoming's brain was buzzing and he couldn't think at all.
"Doctor, doctor, think of a way! He is the prince, he is the prince!" Han Baocheng grabbed the doctor's shirt and looked completely lost.
Other people are not much better, either begging the doctor to save people, or crying in a daze. When the doctor knew the identity of the deceased, his bones softened, and he was speechless.
Those guards held their knives at Han Baocheng and the others for a while, and at the outside for a while, their expressions tensed as if the bowstrings were stretched to the limit. A slight movement could make them break their senses and slash at people with their knives.
Cheng Maoming was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and suddenly turned around to see that Qi Shuo, who had come up at an unknown time, suddenly relaxed.
Qi Shuo sighed in his heart when he saw the prince's appearance, and reminded softly: "Captain, you should report it as soon as possible. The prince died unexpectedly. Maybe the suspect is among the people in the restaurant. The longer it drags on, the less conducive to the investigation."
Cheng Maoming came to his senses completely: "The prince is right."
He immediately ordered his subordinates to call more people, and he brought a guard from the East Palace hurriedly into the palace.
Reporting the death of the prince to the emperor was undoubtedly a thankless task, but Cheng Maoming had to do it.
Who let him catch up, if he doesn't do anything, it will be even worse in the future.
Emperor Tai'an was taking a nap when he heard that Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jinlinwei, had an urgent request, and suddenly his eyelids twitched wildly.
It’s been quiet for a few days, what happened?
After passing this thought, Emperor Tai'an met Cheng Maoming in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"What's the matter with Cheng Qing?" Seeing Cheng Maoming's pale face, Emperor Tai'an knew he was right.
Cheng Maoming subconsciously glanced at the guards of the East Palace who were kneeling on the side.
Emperor Tai'an followed his gaze, his heartbeat suddenly stagnated, and panic for no reason swept the emperor who was quite deep in the city at this moment, causing his complexion to change.
Cheng Maoming pressed his forehead to the ground, not daring to see Emperor Tai'an's reaction, sobbing: "Your Majesty, something happened to the prince—"
"What happened to the prince?" Emperor Tai'an stood up unconsciously.
"When Wei Chen rushed over, the crown prince was already dead, so he came to the palace for the first time. I haven't had time to ask about the specific situation..."
Emperor Tai'an shook his body, his eyes fixed on the guard: "Are you the guard following the prince?"
The guards said yes.
"Tell me, what's wrong with the prince!" Emperor Tai'an asked in a hiss, completely disregarding maintaining the imperial bearing.
"Da, the doctor said... Your Highness is poisoned..." The guard buried his head, trembling.
"Poisoned?" Emperor Tai'an's face was pale and his eyes were full of disbelief, "How could the prince be poisoned?"
Cheng Maoming bit his head and said, "Reporting to the emperor, His Highness had an accident in a restaurant called Wuweizhai."
As soon as he heard that the prince had an accident outside the palace, Emperor Tai'an grabbed the teacup on the dragon case and smashed it at the guard: "Tell me what you know, or I will kill your nine clans!"
The guard was hit in the head by a teacup, and blood flowed down his forehead, but he dared not even wipe it, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness greeted Concubine Jing and returned to the East Palace, thinking that today is a holiday, I sent someone to Yang Xiu. The writers sent a message to a small gathering at Wuweizhai... We stayed outside the elegant room. All the food and drinks brought by the staff had been tried, and they were sure that there was no problem before they brought it in. Later, I suddenly heard a cry for help. , after rushing in, I found that His Royal Highness was in his arms and couldn't breathe, and soon, there was no response..."
Listening to the guard's description, Emperor Tai'an's face became more and more ugly, and his heart seemed to be immersed in an ice cave.
His fourth son, the Crown Prince of Da Zhou... is dead?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Isn't he the Son of Heaven, the dragon qi protects the body, and Hong Fu Qi Tian, why does this happen?
A sullen breath rushed up, causing Emperor Tai'an to cough.
"Your Majesty—" Liu Chuan's voice trembled as he tapped Emperor Tai'an on the back.
The **** who has accompanied Emperor Tai'an for many years is full of fear at this moment.
The death of the crown prince is a major event in which half the sky has fallen, and what is even more frightening is that there is no other prince...
The thought of flashed by, Liu Chuan didn't dare to think about it at all, and put his full attention on Emperor Tai'an.
After a quick cough, Emperor Tai'an looked old all of a sudden: "Cheng Maoming."
"We are here."
"I hand over this matter to Jinlinwei and the Ministry of Punishment, and make sure to check it out." When he said this, Emperor Tai'an gritted his teeth.
He will slash the people who murdered the prince with thousands of swords and kill his nine clans!
"Wei minister leads the order." Cheng Maoming bowed and retreated, taking away the guard of the East Palace.
Emperor Tai'an sat quietly, motionless.
Liu Chuan summoned the courage several times to try to comfort him, but he couldn't.
Wuweizhai was soon surrounded by officials from all walks of life, and not even a fly could get out.
Jin Linwei and the people from the Punishment Department have all arrived. The first thing to ask is the guards and Han Baocheng who are following the prince. As for the other drinkers and people in the restaurant, they are all under control, except Qi Shuo and Lin Hao.
Cheng Maoming took the initiative to invite Qi Shuo and the two of them to sit in, and the Minister of Punishment thought that Prince Jing's son was doing his best to track down the murder of Princess Yuliu, so it was not surprising to Cheng Maoming.
The elegant room of the restaurant became a temporary interrogation room, and the interrogation officially began.
