Seeing that Gu Qingxue was looking at him curiously, Judge Wu muttered to himself for a moment before saying, “I just feel that these people came too quickly. It seems that they followed us all the way from Jing City. So many of them had followed him all the way here, so they must have come on horses or in carriages. However, after I dealt with the corpses yesterday, I brought my men to investigate, but they didn’t find the carriage they came in. It was as if these assassins had appeared out of thin air, which made me feel a little strange.”
They were in the middle of nowhere, and the assassins would need a carriage to catch up with them.
“However, I’ve also heard that some assassins will erase their traces before they make a move. Perhaps they took care of it themselves… I hope I’m just overthinking it. ” Judge Wu did not want to give Gu Qingxue too much pressure, so he smiled. “Fortunately, we’ll be able to reach the imperial consort’s tomb this evening. Qingxue, when do you want to open the coffin and perform the autopsy? ‘
Gu Qingxue picked up the teacup on the table. After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, she leisurely spat out two words, “It’s tonight,”
Shocked by Gu Qingxue’s words, Judge Wu asked in surprise, “Why are you in such a hurry?”
Gu Qingxue nodded, then drank the tea in her cup with an indifferent expression. “I can’t help but be anxious. Someone is already eyeing our lives. In order to prevent any accidents, we should hurry.
“It’s been hard on you. As someone who’s actually being hunted down, so I think you must be very afraid. You should rest and wait until the afternoon, then it’ll be my turn to rest. Only then will I have the energy to open the coffin and perform the autopsy at night.” Judge Wu couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the dark circles under Gu Qingxue’s eyes.
Gu Qingxue was indeed tired, so she did not reject the Judge Wu’s good intentions. She nodded in agreement, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
It was also that night that the news of Gu Qingxue and her group being assassinated spread to the Regent King’s residence like a gust of wind.
The atmosphere in the study room was tense.
Rong Zhan sat in front of the desk, and the murderous aura around him made Liu Yi and Ji Yan shiver at the same time. Both of them could not lift their heads under immense pressure.
Rong Zhan raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table, and coldly forced out two words, “Who is it?”
“If there are no accidents, then that consort in the inner palace… Back then, it was also she and Beauty Yin who got pregnant together. Later, mother gave birth to a princess.” Ji Yan lowered his head and said weakly.
Liu Yi cupped his hands and reminded Rong Zhan, “Master, I don’t think the other party will let this matter go so easily. Moreover, the consort’s family will not allow Miss Gu to continue her investigation. They will definitely kill her.”
Rong Zhan was so angry that he laughed, and the cold aura around him was suffocating. “Pass down my order. Prepare the carriage in fifteen minutes and head to the imperial consort’s tomb.”
When Liu Yi and Ji Yan heard this, they looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
They knew very well that this was against the rules, but they could not say a word to refute it.
His Royal Highness had already decided to go to the Imperial concubine’s tomb. Even if the emperor tried to stop him, he could not.
“Yes.” Liu Yi and Ji Yan agreed at the same time. They turned around and walked out of the study at the same time. Before they could get far, they saw a beautiful figure walking over.
“Your Royal Highness.” Qu Lianyu had a shy expression on her face. She was wearing a long pink-white dress, a white cloak, and a soft rabbit fur collar around her neck, which made her small face look even more lively and lovely..
