I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 45: Corpse by the lake.

"Probably." Jiang Xue also indicated with her eyes.

After finishing breakfast, Ronglian instructed the smart maid in the mansion to take the two of them out.

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi were drowsy in the carriage. Zhu Feng was watching them so sleepy and was puzzled. Didn't these two ladies go to bed early? Why did they look so tired?

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi almost fell out due to the impact. Zhu Feng hurriedly grabbed them.

Jiang Xue dazedly lifted the car curtain and looked over, yawning and asking, "Are we there yet?"

Yuan Er looked at the crowd in front of her and frowned as she looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Miss, there are a lot of people in front."

Jiang Xue looked over and saw a lot of people gathered in front of her. Pei Zhijin was surrounded in the middle and no one knew what he was doing.

"Why is Lord Pei here?" Lin Yiyi poked her head out at some point and said while looking ahead.

Jiang Xue jumped off the carriage and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Lin Yiyi jumped down and said, "Let's go."

The two walked towards the crowd, Zhu Feng and Yuan Er followed behind them. The crowd was very noisy and noisy. Jiang Xue and Lin Yi Yi vaguely heard that someone was dead. When they squeezed into the crowd, they were stunned. Why was Yu Er's body here?

The two looked at each other. When Wang Ziyan saw that it was Lin Yiyi, he immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Yiyi. "Miss Yiyi, you will have nightmares if you see this."

Lin Yiyi immediately pretended to be scared and nodded.

"But don't be afraid, Miss Yiyi. I'm here."

Jiang Xue walked towards Yu'er's body with her hands on her chest. Pei Zhijin looked up at Jiang Xue and asked, "Why are you here?"

"My grandmother insisted on having someone take me here to cruise around the lake." Jiang Xue said as she looked at Yu'er's body. The body was obviously swollen from being soaked in the water, and it looked like it had been soaked all night.

He looked up at Pei Zhijin and asked, "Why is Yu'er's body here?"

Pei Zhijin said calmly: "I received a report this morning that someone was killed by the lake."

Jiang Xue said puzzledly: "This should be the responsibility of the government, right? Does the Jinyiwei also take care of this?"

Pei Zhijin said nothing, and ordered people to cover Yu'er's body. Then he looked at you, Jiang Xue, and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said casually, "I dare to dissect dead people, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Pei Zhijin was slightly stunned. He carefully examined what Jiang Xue had just said and asked, "Have you ever dissected a dead body?"

Jiang Xue realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She looked around randomly and said, "Well... my master taught me."

"Then Miss Jiang is really courageous."

"I am over-flattered."

Pei Zhijin looked at the coroner beside him and asked, "What did the examination reveal?"

The coroner quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Sir, this woman was first poisoned, then stabbed in the vitals by a sword, and finally thrown into the lake."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue silently stepped back, not knowing who threw Yu'er's body into the lake. While thinking about it, she stood beside Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi looked at Jiang Xue and whispered, "What should we do now?"

Jiang Xue shook her head slightly to indicate that everything was fine.

Pei Zhijin ordered his men to carry Yu'er's body back, and then had them disperse. Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi happily and said, "Miss Yiyi, how come you have lost weight after not seeing you for a few days?"

Lin Yiyi smiled with her hands covering her mouth, looking like a beautiful girl from a small family, totally different from the chivalrous woman with murderous intent last night.

"Thank you for your concern, young marquis."

"Miss Yiyi, you can call me Zi Yan. Calling me young marquis would sound a bit strange." Wang Ziyan lowered his head slightly and looked at Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi looked at Wang Ziyan awkwardly, "Then I'll just call you Master."

Prince Yan: ".....It's all Miss Yiyiyi's idea."

Lin Yiyi lowered her head and smiled slightly: "Young Master, you seem to have become a lot rounder recently."

Wang Ziyan: "......" Then he turned to look at A Tong beside him and said: "Have I gained weight recently?"

Atong looked left and right, scratched his head and said, "No."

When Wang Ziyan turned around, Lin Yiyi had already walked away. Wang Ziyan quickly chased after her, "Miss Yiyi, where are you going?"

Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue were the only ones left by the lake. Seeing Jiang Xue standing in front of him as if nothing had happened, he said, "Your injury..."

Jiang Xue waved her arms and said, "It's all fine now."

Pei Zhijin nodded, and when he was about to speak again, a gentle voice came from not far away, "Master Pei."

Jiang Xue looked over and saw Han Qingqing walking towards Pei Zhijin in simple clothes.

Pei Zhijin looked at Han Qingqing with some surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

Han Qingqing nodded slightly towards Jiang Xue, and then looked at Pei Zhijin with a pair of affectionate eyes and said, "I kept Lord Pei waiting for a long time last night. When I heard that Lord Pei was here, I came here to apologize."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's okay now." Han Qingqing nodded with a slight smile.

Jiang Xue felt like she was standing here like a 100,000-volt light bulb, so she quickly said, "Uh, that...you guys chat first, I'm leaving first."

"Where are you going?" Pei Zhijin asked.

Jiang Xue frowned and tilted her head slightly in confusion, "Of course I went shopping."

Pei Zhijin wanted Jiang Xue to stay, but he couldn't say the words, so he could only nod slightly.

Jiang Xue said silently "It's incomprehensible" and turned away.

Han Qingqing and Pei Zhijin stood by the lake. A breeze blew gently, and Han Qingqing coughed twice.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Han Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she said, "I know you came to me yesterday to find out about Qingye, so I woke up early this morning and rushed to find you without delay."

"Go ahead." Pei Zhijin stood upright by the lake with his hands behind his back.

"Qing Ye did come to Anzhou, but he left before you came to Anzhou."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know." Han Qingqing shook her head slightly and said, "Qing Ye comes and goes without a trace. Unless he wants to expose his whereabouts, few people can get any information about him."

Pei Zhijin nodded slightly and said, "The people from Fengyun Tower are not making things difficult for you, right?"

"No." Han Qingqing looked at Pei Zhijin gratefully, "Thanks to your protection over the years, otherwise I wouldn't have such a comfortable life."

"I was just entrusted by someone."

Han Qingqing's expression changed slightly, and then she lowered her eyes and said with some disappointment: "When do you plan to take me back to the capital?"

"You want to go back to the capital?" Pei Zhijin asked in surprise.

Han Qingqing lowered her head and said, "I want to go see him."

Pei Zhijin knew who Han Qingqing was talking about, his eyes dimmed, and he said softly: "He definitely doesn't want you to return to the capital."

"I know, but I miss him." Han Qingqing said with tears in her eyes.

In the end, Pei Zhijin softened his heart and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will have someone send you back."

Han Qingqing bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master Pei."
