602 You Have to Stay Away From Prince Rui (1)
Princess Ming An was dead!
Shen Miao was stunned. Luo Tan was incoherent, but Shen Miao understood most of it. Without a doubt, the death of Princess Ming An was definitely Xie Jingxing’s doing. As for the two men mentioned, Shen Miao almost immediately thought of the Xie brothers. As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but gasp. She had to admit that Xie Jingxing was indeed a ruthless person. Putting Princess Ming An and the Xie brothers together in such a scandalous way would divert the focus of the people from the fact that they were killed to the affair between Princess Ming An and the Xie brothers.
It was true that all of this might have been done by the murderer, but compared to a boring case, such a scandalous case was easier for the people to remember and talk about. No matter what, even if Huangfu Hao or Emperor Wen Hui used force to suppress the rumors or came forward to clarify, no one would believe it. As a princess of a country, Princess Ming An ended up like a brothel girl, naked in front of everyone. If this matter was spread to the State of Qin, the royal family would be humiliated.
Xie Jingxing was indeed not merciful.
As for the Xie brothers, Shen Miao lost in a deep thought. Perhaps Huangfu Hao would be furious, but he couldn’t find evidence to prove that the Xie brothers really forced Princess Ming An to do anything, because the Xie brothers were also dead. It was impossible for Huangfu Hao to take it out on the Marquis of Lin’an, because he had lost two sons in a row, which was tragic enough.
Seeing that Shen Miao was deep in thought, Luo Tan couldn’t help but ask, “Cousin, did you guess something? Who do you think is behind this? Why is the murderer so bold?”
Shen Miao smiled. “I’m not a detective. If you want to know the outcome, wait until the judicial office solves the case.”
“No matter what,” Luo Tan was an outspoken person. She said, “I don’t pity her at all. That princess is arrogant and domineering, and I heard that she’s very vengeful. If she’s still alive, she might find fault with you one day. I wonder which hero is helping the people get rid of evil.” Luo Tan rubbed her palms together, as if she wanted to befriend that person.
“Speaking of which,” Luo Tan continued, “When you were kidnapped previously, I went to ask Prince Rui for help. When you’re free, don’t forget to go and thank him.”
Shen Miao nodded.
Luo Tan patted her shoulder and saw Jingzhe walk in. She smiled and said, “Miss Luo, Imperial Physician Gao is here to take your pulse.”
Luo Tan’s expression instantly changed. She immediately stood up and said to Shen Miao, “Cousin, I gotta go. Think about Princess Ming An’s case. Tell me about it if you figure out anything!” With that, she ran away.
Shen Miao looked at Luo Tan’s back and sighed, her eyes gradually darkening.
Xie Jingxing had caused such a huge commotion. The revenge was taken and the anger was vented. However, after all, she was the princess of a country, and many people were involved. Would this matter rest peacefully? Shen Miao didn’t think so.
…
The people of the government quickly chased away the commoners around Lake Wanli and put the three ice cubes down. As soon as Huangfu Hao saw Princess Ming An’s corpse, he flew into a rage. Even Emperor Wen Hui was terrified by his anger.
