Chapter 10 Death of Concubine Liu

Concubine Liu died suddenly.

Indeed, Concubine Liu had been dead for more than a month, but even the prison department that specifically worked for the emperor had not yet found out how she died. It was really ridiculous.

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes and glanced at Liu Yin, who died with his eyes open, and Shen Lianyu, who was kneeling and trembling beside him.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Your Majesty, are we sure we want to hold this meeting on the street?"

King Huai naturally didn't want to be treated like a monkey by a group of people, so he immediately ordered people to take Shen Lianyu away. He didn't plan to kill her. He didn't wait for Gu Junqing, but walked ahead and entered a restaurant not far away.

Only Liu Yin's body was left lying on the street.

Although the people on the street were afraid, when they saw Liu Yin's body, the long-accumulated resentment in their hearts finally erupted.

Even though they didn't dare to go forward, they still threw eggs one by one. In short, they threw anything they had that could be thrown at the attacker.

When Minister Liu heard the news, he took people to look for Liu Yin's body. When he saw the pile of garbage on Liu Yin's dead body, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the street and almost fainted.

He just ordered the servants and guards to clean up. Smelling the stench, Liu Fengjing almost wanted to throw this legitimate son into a mass grave to feed the dogs.

Gu Junqing and King Huai sat in the box on the second floor and watched it all in silence.

King Huai sneered:

"Oh! Minister Liu is no better than this."

Gu Junqing picked up the teacup and drank tea without responding.

King Huai didn't expect her to answer. He glanced at Gu Junqing and smiled:

"General Gu is lucky that he is a general, otherwise with such beauty, I am sure that Liu Yin would have snatched you away on the street today." Indeed, with Gu Junqing's grace and elegance, only the current emperor Qi Yunjin can compare with her, and it is difficult for others to rival her.

Thanks to his noble status and the fact that he has been killing enemies on the battlefield for many years, he has a decisive and murderous temperament. People who see him dare not approach him and can only watch from afar, except for those who are extremely bold.

When Gu Junqing heard this, she also understood that King Huai was mocking her for having a feminine appearance. She remained calm, but her words made King Huai sigh that the generals on the battlefield were indeed very thick-skinned.

She only said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

King Huai was speechless.

He didn't want to talk too much with her, so he went straight to the point: "General Gu, what did you mean by what you said about Concubine Liu? Could it be that even the prison warden who works for the emperor couldn't find out something, but you are right just by your words?"

Gu Junqing put down the teacup and glanced out the window. He saw a group of people rushing over from afar. They were wearing the same dark red slim-fitting robes and swords on their waists. The team was neat and orderly, and the momentum was extraordinary. Speaking of the prison warden, the prison warden's people appeared.

"I really don't know how Concubine Liu died, but I do have some clues. Of course, I got these clues unintentionally."

Gu Junqing didn't say how he knew it accidentally, and continued:

"Before her death, Concubine Liu went to the outskirts of the capital and said that the pear blossoms there were very beautiful, especially the century-old pear tree. She wanted to go and see it, and the prince knew about it and agreed."

When King Huai heard this, he frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you go to the outskirts of the capital to investigate? Maybe Concubine Liu heard something and was silenced?"

This sentence was like a thunderclap, and King Huai was somewhat shocked. Who was so bold as to kill him? !

Therefore, King Huai looked at her suspiciously: "Are you telling the truth? Silencing? Who is so brave as to kill my people?"

Gu Junqing heard this and said, "It's up to His Majesty to decide whether to believe it or not. Of course, these are just my one-sided words. If His Majesty doesn't believe it, I naturally have no choice."

They really did not pay attention to this clue. After all, there was no connection between the two things. They just thought that Concubine Liu might have died of some hidden illness, or died of poisoning, or was assassinated.

Died by silencing?

This is a very good idea. If it is true, it will not only solve King Huai's doubts, but also give an explanation to Anyang Marquis Liu Yanqing.

Concubine Liu was the younger sister of Anyang Marquis Liu Yanqing, and her maiden name was Liu Anan.

Having said this, the two fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of Shen Lianyu's suppressed sobs being heard.

After a while, the prison warden came up.

They are here to take Prince Huai to meet the Emperor.

King Huai had guessed it long ago, and he showed no resistance or other emotions. He stood up calmly and glanced at Gu Junqing who was still sitting and drinking tea, and Shen Lianyu who was kneeling on the ground.

He snorted, "Gu Junqing, it's a pity that you don't have a woman by your side. This woman is the concubine daughter that the Shen family doesn't want anymore. I haven't touched her yet, but now that I don't like her very much, I'll give her to you. But please don't be polite to me and take her."

Gu Junqing was stunned, a hint of something unclear flashed in his eyes, he stood up and bowed: "Since Your Majesty said so, I have no choice but to obey your command."

King Huai left, and behind him were only the guards he had brought with him and the prison warden's men.

Watching the group of people leaving in a mighty manner, Gu Junqing waved his sleeves without even looking at Shen Lianyu who was kneeling on the ground, trying to suppress her joy. He tilted his head to look out the window, not looking below, but at the opposite side.

Because someone in the restaurant opposite was also looking at him.

It was Ji Zuoxiang, Ji Rang, who greeted her at the last banquet.

He smiled warmly and raised the wine glass in his hand as if to toast himself. Without waiting for her to do anything, he drank the wine and seemed very happy.

It was as if he was discussing something with King Huai and he was just watching a good show from the other side. It was really unexpected.

Gu Junqing did not stay long. He called the waiter, put the silver on the table, and left with Shen Lianyu.

Shen Lianyu is a useful person.

What's more, everything is in my plan, so I don't feel so bad.

Liu Mansion——

"What the hell is going on? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the young master?! What are you guys doing for a living?!"

In the front hall, Liu Fengjing was getting angry. After he finished speaking, he picked up a teacup with boiling hot tea in it and threw it on the ground. The boiling hot water splashed on the servants who were kneeling on the ground and shivering. They endured the pain and lowered their heads again and again. They were almost shaking like quails.

A brave man, who was also the leader of the servants, knelt half a step forward, still lowered his head, saluted with shaking hands, and told the truth:

"Master... Young Master, we can't stop him..."

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of slapping rang out in the front hall, and the kneeling people trembled again.

Including the wife of the Minister, Chen Yunyi, who rushed to the front hall of Liu's mansion after hearing the news, and was also Liu Yin's biological mother.

My mother's family is from the famous Chen Mansion in Da Qi, and my father is also a famous Confucian scholar in Da Qi. How many children from rich and poor families want to become his disciples.

It can be seen from this that Chen Yunyi has a noble status.
