Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Yun Chang turned her head and looked at the female corpse on the ground, she was silent for a moment, feeling something was wrong, when she first learned that the prison was on fire, she thought it was aimed at her, Ning Huajing had just entered the prison , and the fire started, the timing was really too coincidental.

It was only now that it was discovered that Xia Houjing had just died in this prison. If it was just to kill Ning Huajing, the price he paid would be too high.

Yun Chang frowned, and her eyes fell on King Jing who had never spoken. The identity of King Jing was only known to the people the day before yesterday. It was also the day before yesterday that Xia Huanyu and his father issued the alliance edict. A fire broke out, and Xia Houjing, the prince of the Xia Kingdom, died in the prison.

This is really an excellent plan to kill two birds with one stone. Both she and Prince Jing have been trapped in this storm. If she makes a wrong step, her reputation may be ruined.

The room where Xia Houjing was imprisoned was not far from Huajing's. It took a few steps to arrive. Unlike the fake Ning Huajing's corpse, Xia Houjing was lying on his stomach, face down, and his face was tightly pressed against the ground. Because he was not lying on the bedding, his face on the ground seemed to be Emperor Ning frowned as if he hadn't been burned, and asked someone to turn the corpse over.

Xia Houjing's face was hardly burned at all, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was full of pain, and the rest of his face was scorched black. The hair was also burned to almost nothing. Yun Chang took a look and knew that this person was the real Xia Houjing. Even with the best human skin masks, slight marks can be seen around the hairline, but this corpse has never seen a trace of masked hair even though the hair has been burned to the brim. trace.

Xia Houjing is real, but Ning Huajing is fake. What is the murderer's plan? Yun Chang frowned, only feeling a little confused.

Xia Huanyu had already been brought in, and when he saw Xia Houjing's body, he paused for a while before saying, "It's Jing'er." His face was a little pale.

Emperor Ning nodded, "This matter happened in the prison of Ningguo. I will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible and give Prince Xia an explanation."

Seeing Xia Huanyu staring at the corpse for a long time, Yunshang knelt down and touched Xia Houjing's face. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly stood up. She couldn't stand still for a while, staggered two steps, and then stopped. Stepping forward, he raised his eyes and said, "Jing'er's body is put here first, let the assistant come and check it out. If the check is over, please ask the emperor to let you know, so I can ask someone to take him back."

Emperor Ning let out a "hmm" and paused for a while before raising his eyes to look at Prince Jing, "The smell of tung oil in the prison is too strong today, please send His Majesty Xia back first."

King Jing paused when he heard the words, raised his eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, then turned to look at Yunshang, Yunshang knew that he was worried about him, so he quickly said, "I will go back to the palace with my father later, Go ahead."

Only then did Prince Jing nod his head, and accompanied Xia Huanyu out of the dungeon.

"When will Wu Zuo come?" Emperor Ning said indifferently, no joy or anger could be seen on his face.

Dali Temple Minister hurriedly said, "I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon."

It's just that it took almost half an hour right away. Yun Chang walked around the prison alone, but felt a little strange. The smell of tung oil was too strong. Since she came here with Emperor Ning Almost an hour has passed, but it seems that the smell has not faded at all. Logically speaking, although the sky prison is very strong, there is no need for so much tung oil. Moreover, so much tung oil, whether it is bought or transported, is really too eye-catching.

When Yunshang went back, Wu Zuo was already there, and he had already inspected Xia Houjing's body.

"Death by suffocation, not by burning." Wu Zuo took the veil and wiped his hands and said softly.

Yun Chang's eyes fell on Xia Houjing's face, and he frowned, "Just now his body was upside down, and it was very close to the ground, maybe he wanted to prevent himself from being choked by the smoke, so Bury your face on the ground, get too close and suffocate?"

Wu Zuo shook his head, "The tung oil ignites and the smoke is quite heavy and slightly poisonous. Even if he puts his face on the ground, there will still be gaps. It is impossible not to inhale any smoke."

"So, Xia Houjing was killed first, and then the fire started?" Yun Shang frowned. If this is the case, then the main target of the murderer should be Xia Houjing. It can also be said that the main target is also Luo Luo. Speak softly.

Wu Zuo nodded, and followed Emperor Ning to Ning Huajing's cell.

When he arrived in front of the female corpse, Wu Zuo looked down for a moment, then asked softly, "I heard that Princess Huajing is pregnant?"

"Yes, she is about four or five months pregnant, and the details are not very clear." Yun Chang said softly. She also checked it just now, but the lower abdomen of the female corpse was indeed a little swollen, so she didn't look much at that time.

"This female corpse is not pregnant. If it is as the princess said, it should not be Princess Huajing." The woman said in a low voice, then opened the female corpse's mouth with her hand to look at it, checked her eyes and ears, and said, "It's burnt." dead."

Yun Chang fell silent, frowning slightly, since he came here for Xia Houjing, why did he rescue Ning Huajing after killing Xia Houjing? Who is this person...

Emperor Ning's complexion was also not very good, he waved his hand and said, "Young Master of Dali Temple will follow me back to the palace."

The Minister of Dali Temple responded quickly, and followed Emperor Ning out of the prison. Yun Shang still rode with Emperor Ning, and the Minister of Dali Temple followed behind on horseback.

"Based on what Chang'er saw, where should we start the investigation?" Emperor Ning frowned when he got into the carriage, and asked softly.

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Tung oil."

Seeing Emperor Ning raised his eyes to look at him, Yunshang said quietly, "In ordinary people's homes, tung oil is considered an extremely luxurious item, and they don't buy too much, but families with a little wealth In the portal, the smell of tung oil is really not pleasant, so the lamp oil used is all scented. Xia Houjing was imprisoned by accident, and it was also an accident that Huangjie was imprisoned. I want to buy it in such a short period of time. With so much tung oil, there is no doubt that there will be no trace left behind. Although this trace may be intentional, it can still be regarded as a clue."

Emperor Ning didn't speak, Yun Chang thought for a while, and then continued, "There are still guards and jailers in the prison who need to be investigated. The lock of Huangjie's cell is intact. There is only one explanation, that person I have the key on me. The only people who have the key are the jailers and guards, and if not they must be the ones who took the key from them."

Emperor Ning nodded, "There are many traps in this prison, but judging from the situation at the scene, those traps have not been triggered, and this matter has to be investigated."

Yun Chang responded, but her brows did not relax, Emperor Ning sighed, "But you are worrying and whispering?"

"Yeah." Yun Shang replied softly, silent for a while, but suddenly laughed, "I have been being calculated since I returned to the palace, judging from my experience of being calculated this day, I am afraid that the next There is a lot of evidence, a lot of evidence that is not good for the prince. The current status of the prince is really embarrassing..."

Yun Chang murmured, but it was difficult for her to say what she said later in front of Emperor Ning. Prince Jing is now Prince Jing of the Ning Kingdom, but Emperor Ning will definitely not give him real power anymore, and the officials in the DPRK and China who have made good friends with him before may have to weigh it. He is also the son of Xia Huanyu, but he has not yet returned to Xia Kingdom, and his identity has not been announced to the world. Something happened at this time, but it almost pushed Prince Jing into a desperate situation.

Yun Shang knew that according to the rules, she was also suspected, so she must not participate in the discussion. He didn't force it, went back to Jinxiu Palace and greeted Concubine Jin, then left the palace again.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, he hurriedly ordered the hidden guards to start an investigation, and he himself also asked people to find some materials about the construction of the Dali Temple's prison, and also found the files of the criminals detained in the Dali Temple.

It was already afternoon when King Jing returned to the mansion. Seeing him enter the house, Yunshang put down the file in his hand, walked up to King Jing and asked, "Are you all right?"

King Jing shook his head, and took Yun Shang's hand, "What's the matter? What did Wu Zuo say?"

Yun Chang was stunned for a while, what Wu Zuo said, his hidden guard must have known about it, it was impossible not to tell him, but why? As soon as his expression changed, he sat on the soft couch with Prince Jing and said, "Wu Zuo said that Xia Houjing died of suffocation, and was burned after death. And that female corpse is not Ning Huajing..."

Prince Jing gave a "hmm" and said slowly, "Since the female corpse is not Ning Huajing, it's easy for someone to check the identity of the female corpse. I heard earlier that there were a total of eighteen people imprisoned in the prison. Eighteen people are all dead, but a female corpse suddenly appeared, if you go and check it, you will be able to find it."

Yun Chang agreed, but she forgot about it just now.

Yun Chang then told Prince Jing in detail the direction she wanted to start to investigate. King Jing nodded after hearing this, and did not speak again.

The two were silent for a while, and Prince Jing glanced at the file on the table before saying, "Are you looking at the file in the prison?"

Yun Chang nodded, "I want to see who built the mechanism of the sky prison, and who were imprisoned in the sky prison." He is also very familiar with the organs in the sky prison.

"The builder of the organ in the prison..." Prince Jing frowned, "I heard that he is an extremely famous person, but he doesn't seem to be from Ningguo."

Not from Ningguo? Yun Chang frowned, not understanding what this had to do with this matter.

"By the way, after you left earlier, I found that the amount of tung oil used was a bit large, and the smell lingered for a long time. I always felt a little strange. You can accompany me to the sky prison to have a look later." Yun Chang said softly.

Prince Jing nodded his head, remained silent for a while, and then said calmly, "When this matter is over, you can go to Xia Kingdom with me."\u003c
