Qin Junyu repeated what Ah Falcon had recounted, and Nian Su Su already understood the whole story.

She sighed, "Actually, when we fell down the mountain, I saw that it was her who pushed me, and I also saw His Highness jumping down. But I didn't expect...she..." She stopped talking.

During the five days she and Qin Junyu were trapped in the cave, she had thought of countless possible outcomes for Luo Yuanxiang, but she never expected that she would be pushed down the mountain right after she was pushed down the mountain.

Luo Yuanxiang deserved to die, but the news was too sudden and Nian Susu couldn't digest it for a while.

Qin Junyu held her hand tightly and said, "The coroner's autopsy results are out."

"So you and Master Xiao went out to see the coroner?"

"Ah."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the place where the bodies were kept.

Qin Junyu suggested that Nian Susu and Xiao Yunzheng stay outside while he and Xiao Jianting went in, but neither of them was willing.

The coroner had been waiting for a long time and couldn't help but smile when he saw them.

Few people would give a gold ingot right away, so of course he had to serve such a generous and wealthy young man well.

Xiao Jianting glanced inside and asked him, "How is it? Do you know the cause of death?"

The coroner replied: "After the autopsy, five of the deceased's ribs were broken, one of which pierced into the lung, and one pierced into the heart. The fatal injury was that the heart was pierced and he died. In addition, the deceased's internal organs were almost all ruptured, and there was not a single intact bone in his limbs."

After all, he still fell to death.

"No signs of poisoning were found, right?" Xiao Jianting asked again.

"No." The coroner answered readily.

Xiao Jianting waved his hand with a sullen face, "Okay, you go down first."

After the coroner left, he looked at Qin Junyu, "Ah Yu, it seems that he had planned to push Luo Yuanxiang off the cliff long ago, creating the illusion that the three of you fell off the mountain by mistake."

Xiao Jianting was furious and said happily, "But he didn't expect that you and Miss Nian would survive."

"Him?" Xiao Yunzheng was puzzled. "Prince Ren...?"

Neither of them denied it, so that's it.

Xiao Yunzheng was so angry that her teeth itched. "After all, he and Brother Yu are uncle and nephew, and Lingling has never done anything to hurt him. How could he be so vicious and want to take your lives!"

Nian Susu sighed meaningfully, "This is just the beginning. Even if he fails this time, he will definitely not give up."

Since Qin Zehai had planned to kill Luo Yuanxiang to silence her, the other people involved must have been cleared out, and there would be no evidence. Even if they knew that it was Qin Zehai who did it, they would have no way to bring him to justice.

To be on the safe side, several people went into the house to check the body to make sure that the person lying there was indeed Luo Yuanxiang.

Nian Susu was already weak, and when he smelled the blood, he felt nauseous and came out first because he couldn't stand it.

The wind blew, and the smell on her body faded a lot. She pulled her cloak tightly around her and waited for the three men to come out.

Half a minute later, they came out. They all looked unhappy, especially Xiao Yunzheng, who rushed to the wall and started vomiting while holding onto it.

Xiao Jianting suppressed his nausea and asked, "What should we do with the body?"

Qin Junyu pulled Nian Susu into his arms, pulled the wide fox cloak for her, and walked out with his arm around her shoulders.

"Send it to Prince Ren's residence."

Nian Susu looked up at him. His eyes were cold, and revealed some anger and hatred. In fact, he rarely showed such emotions in front of her. Just like at this moment, when he lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes seemed to contain a pool of spring water, full of tenderness and sweetness that could not be melted.

She smiled and said, "I'm tired and want to sleep."

He smiled indulgently, "Okay, let's go home."

Luo Yuanxiang's body was sent to Qin Zehai's temporary residence that night.

Qin Zehai didn't know yet that Qin Junyu and Nian Susu had escaped death. From his perspective, they had already died at the bottom of Jiuyun Mountain.

He was so happy tonight that he couldn't control himself and drank a few more glasses. Now his head was groggy and his steps were unsteady. He walked towards the bedroom with one deep step and one shallow step.

The biting winter night wind made him shiver, but it didn't sober him up.

Qin Zehai pushed the door open in a daze, burped and closed the door again. He sniffed and seemed to smell blood, but did not think much about it. He walked towards the bed with a smug smile on his face.

The quilt was spread out and bulged, as if someone was lying on the bed.

Qin Zehai thought he was dazzled, so he walked forward and pulled back the quilt.

What he saw was a disemboweled human body with bloody intestines piled together, and next to it were unnamed organs, a mess of blood and flesh. His lake blue bed sheet was dyed red, and it looked like the person had died not long ago.

When Qin Zehai saw the face of the corpse, he was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

Luo Yuanxiang's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she lay there peacefully. Her face and her body were completely in a different picture.

"Ah——" a scream of fear resounded through the sky.

Qin Zehai rolled and crawled back to the door.

What lingered in his mind was Luo Yuanxiang's deathly pale face and bloody intestines.

The bed was just a few steps away from him, and the strong smell of blood spread throughout the room, filling his nose and every pore.

His shouting just now successfully attracted the guards.

Qin Zehai was helped up and was shocked to find that his lower body was wet.

"Quick! Take the dirty stuff out and bury it!"

“Don’t let anyone see you!”

He gave a few anxious instructions and then limped away.

After cleaning up the matter, Qin Zehai left Yuhang overnight.

When Nian Susu heard Axuan tell this story, he laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. Even the serious Qin Junyu couldn't help laughing.

After breakfast, Magistrate Zhang came, with the intention of rescheduling the day for going up the mountain. This time, he refused to let the two go alone.

Qin Junyu had no objection. After all, there was a previous experience, and County Magistrate Zhang must have been quite frightened.

Nian Susu did not object, but Qin Zehai had already left Yuhang, and without anyone to trip him up, it should not be difficult for them to go up the mountain.

In order to be able to return to Shengjing before the New Year, they set the date for their second trip up the mountain five days later.

Li Yaoyuan still made two sachets to give to them.

Xiao Jianting and County Magistrate Zhang each brought ten people to escort them up the mountain. This time Qin Junyu did not refuse.

The group set off in a mighty procession.

This time the way up the mountain is much easier than last time.

The ten people in front led the way, and the ten people at the back provided cover. Qin Junyu and Nian Susu were tightly protected in the middle. Any slight disturbance around them would make them tense up and prepare for battle. Once bitten by a snake, one will fear the rope for ten years.

The two parties were very relaxed because they knew that the person who wanted to harm them had left.

Coming to the steep slope at the foot of the mountain again, Nian Susu was very emotional. She looked down and saw the mountain was covered in fog and she couldn't see the bottom at all. She couldn't bear to think about how Qin Junyu had the courage to jump down at that time.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Junyu suddenly appeared behind her.
