Yanmenchun

Chapter 28

Zheng Cuicui was walking back and forth in the wing room. Just now the Eighth Princess sent eunuchs to arrest Shen Tuchan and told her to wait here. She was anxious and excited. The Eighth Princess said that Shen Tuchan died here today. There is also a way to ruin Shen Tuchan's reputation after his death.

Zheng Cuicui's maid was waiting outside. As soon as she turned around, she was strangled by the neck. Before she could speak, a wet handkerchief covered her mouth and nose. She stared at Shen Tuchan with wide eyes. Just as she was about to struggle, Shen Tuchan slashed at the back of her neck with a knife, and the maid rolled her eyes and passed out.

Zheng Cuicui was anxiously pacing the room when Shen Tuchan pushed the door in. When she saw Shen Tuchan was about to taunt, Shen Tuchan closed the door behind her backhand.

Zheng Cuicui's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt bad, and said nervously, "What are you doing?"

Shen Tuchan walked towards her with a smile and said, "Miss Zheng, why did I warn you last time? Did you forget?"

Zheng Cuicui recalled it subconsciously, her voice tensed: "Why are you here alone? You"

Seeing that she was getting more and more nervous, Shen Tuchan even started to look at the door. She went up and suppressed Zheng Cuicui, and pushed her to the ground. Zheng Cuicui started shouting for help. They all thought that Shen Tuchan would die today. Undoubtedly, after choosing such a remote place, now she has experienced the feeling of screaming for nothing. Shen Tuchan covered her mouth and nose with the wet handkerchief, and Zheng Cuicui stared wide-eyed, watching in horror. looking at her.

Shen Tuchan was almost riding on Zheng Cuicui's waist and abdomen, holding Zheng Cuicui's two wrists with one hand, and covering her mouth and nose with the wet handkerchief with the other hand.

Zheng Cuicui whimpered non-stop, kicking her legs wildly, she couldn't help but twist Shen Tuchan, and she couldn't control the tears in her eyes.

Shen Tuchan exerted all her strength and said: "Miss Zheng, I said, if you come again, you will give me your life, and I will do what I say!"

Shen Tuchan paused for a moment, her eyes seemed to be frozen with frost, and said again: "Your maid has already been brought down by me, don't worry, remember to find the eighth princess for revenge."

Zheng Cuicui's physical strength gradually increased, and the whites of his eyes began to roll out.

Shen Tuchan covered her for a while, and she didn't get up until she was out of breath.

When Princess Baoqing came back, Shen Tuchan really stood there and waited for her.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Tuchan, and her maid followed her panting.

Seeing her like this, Shen Tuchan understood: "Isn't Prince Qin looking for you?"

Princess Baoqing checked Shen Tuchan up and down and said: "I didn't see Qin Wenyu at all, the little eunuch took me a long way, and finally locked me in a study room, my first reaction was that they wanted to kill you , It took a lot of effort to break open the window and get out! Are you okay?"

Although she checked left and right to make sure that Shen Tuchan was fine, she still couldn't help asking.

Shen Tuchan smiled and said: "It's okay, the eighth princess asked you when I went back, and you just said that you were with me all the time, and you didn't part for a moment."

Princess Baoqing was startled, and opened her mouth to ask, Shen Tuchan nodded at her: "Princess, you just need to say that we are together."

Princess Baoqing nodded, and then glanced at her maid, who immediately tried to calm her breathing and stood up straight.

At the banquet, the eighth princess was talking next to Qin Wenyu. She didn't know what Qin Wenyu said, so she laughed shyly.

She was happy, but when she looked up and saw Shen Tuchan coming back with Princess Baoqing, the smile instantly froze on her face, making her expression ferocious.

The eighth princess put away the stiff expression on her face very restrainedly, turned her head and said to her maid: "The princess and the others are back, go and see, why hasn't Miss Zheng come back yet? Maybe she got lost!"

The maid went away.

Shen Tuchan took a look and then turned to talk to Huo Xiangxiang.

But after a while, the maid ran back in a panic, panicking as she ran, laughter and laughter everywhere at the banquet, she was pale, she bit her lips tightly and walked to the eighth princess, whispering something to the eighth princess.

Shen Tuchan watched the eighth princess stand up abruptly from a distance, and said sharply, "What did you say?!"

The banquet was silent for a while, everyone looked at the eighth princess, the maid fell to the ground in fright, and said tremblingly: "Miss Zheng, Miss Zheng died in the wing room."

The noble ladies on the field panicked suddenly, and one of them stood up suddenly in fright and brought down a few wine cups. The field was in chaos, and the male guests were also talking about it.

Qin Wenyu and the eighth princess glanced at Shen Tuchan's side almost subconsciously, and Qin Wenyu's gaze moved away quickly.

The eighth princess scolded the maid with a gloomy face: "What nonsense! Lead the way! In broad daylight, there must be ghosts!"

The men who were old with the Duke of Ming's mansion in the male guest's seat got up one after another, and the bold woman in the female guest's seat also followed, Shen Tuchan got up and looked at Princess Baoqing and Huo Xiangxiang and said: "Let's go and have a look too. "

A group of people came to the wing room in a mighty manner, the door of the wing room was locked, and the door was quiet, the maid scrambled up and pushed the door open.

The eighth princess walked in the front, and as soon as she reached the door, she could see Zheng Cuicui leaning on the ground in a very twisted posture. She held her neck with one hand, and grabbed the wrist of that hand with the other, as if I strangled myself.

Everyone was terrified, and the maid said again: "Servant, I tried to breathe just now, and I am already dead."

The Eighth Princess had a look of rage on her face: "Go and call the imperial physician! Go and report to Jingdu Wei! Is it possible that a human being can strangle himself to death!"

Princess Baoqing sneered at the side: "I still have to report to the Duke of Ming's Mansion. Ms. Zheng will come to the banquet properly, and Sister Eighth Emperor will always give an explanation to the Duke of Ming's Mansion."

The eighth princess suddenly turned her head to look at Princess Baoqing and Shentuchan: "Miss Shentu! Baoqing, did you meet Miss Zheng when you came out just now?"

The owner of Baoqing County mocked: "Sister Bahuang, you are crazy! The direction of changing clothes is not here, this is your princess mansion. Miss Zheng died in such a remote house for no reason. You can't check it out carefully. Is it time to interrogate me? I want to question you, and even if we are invited over, our safety cannot be guaranteed!"

The eighth princess's face was livid, and her expression was indescribably wonderful.

A few eunuchs over there have brought the imperial physician and people from Jingdu Wei. The imperial physician is the imperial physician prepared by the princess mansion. He first asked the eighth princess to be safe before going forward to check Zheng Cuicui.

Zheng Cuicui died of suffocation, but there were no traces on his face. He checked left and right several times, but there was no clue. Finally, he found some traces around Zheng Cuicui's mouth, which seemed to be traces of water or makeup. He leaned over and smelled it, then took out something to scratch.

Everyone watched this scene nervously, and the little chief of Jingdu Wei felt even more nervous now. A noble girl died in the princess mansion inexplicably, no matter how you look at it, it is a big case.

The imperial physician got up and retreated from the room, and the chief of the Jingdu Guard also went up to check, and finally the imperial physician knelt down and said: "Miss Zheng died of suffocation, it cannot be ruled out that she died of external suffocation or sudden difficulty in breathing due to physical discomfort. .”
