The queen of the end times is reborn and goes crazy, her whole family is burned to death

"Your Highness! Found it."

The Second Prince's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and he leaned forward impatiently to look around. "Where is it? Where is the body?"

He had never been so anxious to find the so-called "evidence" as he was at this moment, and his impatience was almost overflowing.

"Your Highness, it's on the barren mountain."

The Second Prince glared at Yan Wanwan viciously, a look that seemed to tear a hole through her. "Let's go! Take this prince with you immediately."

After saying this, he rode away at lightning speed, taking the lead and rushing towards the barren mountain.

Sure enough, just a hundred meters up the mountain, they saw a body leaning against a tree trunk, motionless. Upon closer inspection, they found that the deceased was the man sent undercover by Marquis Changxin.

The Second Prince, as if grasping at a lifeline, was so excited that he was almost frantic. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Look, now that the body has been found, you still dare to deny the murder?"

Qin Yu was not in a hurry. He was the first to approach the body and examine it carefully.

After a moment, his brows knitted slightly, and his voice was filled with warning: "Second Prince, don't be anxious. Take a closer look. This man didn't die from a sword or other sharp blade, but from exhaustion."

"How could this be?" The second prince widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Your Highness, look! This corpse has no scars on its body. However, its face is as pale as paper, and cadaver spots are visible on the lower parts of its body. Its limbs are stiff and difficult to bend. These are all signs of exhaustion."

Qin Yu extended his finger, pointing to the various features of the corpse one by one. Each word was like a hammer, deafening. "So, he most likely took his own life, and was definitely not murdered."

The second prince was full of suspicion and immediately ordered his guards to go forward and check, but in the end they came to the same conclusion.

Yan Wanwan gently wiped away the nonexistent tears, a look of sympathy on her face as she spoke, "This man is a farmer from our village who made a mistake. I expelled him from the village yesterday. I never imagined that, just to stay in the village, he would secretly hide out in the desolate mountains and work himself to death. Why would he do such a thing? There are many ways to make a living outside the village, but once he dies, everything is gone."

The Second Prince looked as if he had seen a ghost. If he had not known what Marquis Changxin had said beforehand, he would have been deceived by her words.

"Second Prince, have you found any other bodies?"

The Second Prince opened his eyes wide, his gaze full of warning, as if asking her what else she wanted to say.

Yan Wanwan said tactfully, "If you don't have any other evidence, then there's no need for me to go to the Dali Temple, right?"

The Second Prince was immediately enraged, but he had no way to deal with her, so he could only vent his anger on the guards beside him, "What a bunch of losers."

After saying that, he walked away.

Yan Wanwan sneered inwardly as she watched the Second Prince leave. Corpse? No, she had brought the seeds of the apocalypse. They would even eat zombies, let alone the corpses of living people. They had already been cleaned up by the surrounding plants.

"I'm so sorry. They turned our wedding day into a mess and filled it with chaos and turmoil."

Yan Wanwan felt genuine guilt when she faced Qin Yu. Although she and Qin Yu didn't have a deep emotional connection, marriage was considered a crucial life event in the eyes of the ancients, and now it had been ruined because of her.

Qin Yu just smiled slightly and said softly: "It's okay, it's our own business."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly asked, "Where did you hide those corpses outside Zhuangzi?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in a puzzled manner, "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

"Last night, after receiving the news, I hurried here. I saw with my own eyes the farmers brandishing their swords, hacking those people to pieces one by one. The bodies were scattered outside the village. But when I returned, the bodies had disappeared. Didn't you take them into the village and bury them?"

Qin Yu looked at Yan Wanwan's wary eyes and quickly explained, "Leaving a corpse on the manor is a hidden danger after all. Tell me, and I will help you deal with it properly."

After all, Marquis Changxin suffered heavy losses this time, so he will definitely not give up easily.

Yan Wanwan put on a mysterious smile and said softly, "Don't worry! Everything has been handled cleanly."

Although Qin Yu was full of doubts, he nodded slightly when he saw her so confident look.

He knew very well that Yan Wanwan was always very intelligent. Since she had said so, she must have her own unique way to deal with it properly.

"Okay, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me." Qin Yu's voice was low and steady.

"Thank you in advance!" Yan Wanwan was in a very good mood at the moment and invited him enthusiastically: "Would you like to take a look around?"

Qin Yu looked around, and saw nothing but endless barren mountains. After a moment's thought, he said, "Then let's take a walk."

Seeing that pit after pit had been dug on the barren hill, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you planning to plant trees?"

"Well, I want to plant some herbs. It's such a shame to leave such a vast mountain area like this."

Yan Wanwan raised her head slightly and looked at the barren mountain, her eyes full of longing.

"Do you need me to help you find some manpower?" Qin Yu asked with concern.

"No need, I've already found someone, a nearby villager."

Yan Wanwan waved her hand, then her expression became slightly more serious. She asked, "I'd like to trouble you with something. Could I borrow your identity as the general's wife to help with something? For example, building roads or repairing houses."

Qin Yu stared at her deeply, his face straightening as he said in a deep voice, "You are the general's wife, not just a borrowed identity. You can do this kind of thing freely without telling me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanwan laughed happily, "It's better to tell you about this matter, so that you don't cause you unnecessary trouble because of me."

He was puzzled. It was just building a road and a house. What kind of trouble could it be?

At this moment, he still didn't understand the significance of Yan Wanwan's words. A year later, the reality was just as she predicted. Troubles came one after another, and the difficulty was far beyond his imagination.

The lights came on and the candles flickered in the inner halls of the imperial palace.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, his face as calm as water, but he could not hide the trace of fatigue and worry in the depths of his eyes.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince sat on either side of the table. The Second Prince's face flushed red as he angrily raged, "Father, Yan Wanwan is truly cunning! She must have heard something beforehand and secretly instructed her men to hide the body. I beg you to allow me to lead the Imperial Guards to conduct a thorough investigation. We will surely recover the body and reveal the truth about this matter!"

After saying that, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to eat Yan Wanwan alive.

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the second prince. Looking at his angry and reckless appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, sighing in his heart that this boy still lacked experience and acted too impetuously.

He coughed lightly, then turned his gaze to the Crown Prince and asked slowly, "Prince, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Upon hearing his father's inquiry, the Crown Prince's expression froze. He then straightened his body and said in a deep voice, "Father, I believe the Marquis of Changxin's words are unlikely to be true. If there really was a murder at the General's wife's manor, how could they have hidden the body so perfectly, leaving not even a trace? This is illogical and unreasonable."

The Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze penetrating, as if he saw through everything. "Oh? So, the Crown Prince thinks the Marquis of Changxin is slandering the General's wife?"

The Crown Prince paused for a moment, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he were weighing his words. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Father, I dare not jump to conclusions. However, Marquis Changxin and General Qin have always been at odds. Whether this is a case of personal revenge is unclear."

The emperor smiled meaningfully, his expression concealing a profound meaning. "Yes, they have been harboring grudges for a long time. But don't forget that this matter involves Qin Yu."

When the prince heard this, he was stunned and looked confused.

What exactly did the Emperor mean by this? Was he suspecting that General Qin, in order to exonerate his fiancée, Yan Wanwan, would risk destroying the body?
