Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 21: Justice for the Dead

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liu walking in with the support of Luhua.

Yan Ciwan, Wei Lansheng and Gao Dahai stood up together.

Zhao Fu crossed his arms and saluted: "Madam."

When Liu saw Yan Ciwan with red eyes, she walked over and gently patted the back of Yan Ciwan's hand to comfort him. Then she looked at Wei Lansheng and Gao Dahai who were standing next to her and spoke frankly.

"I have heard about your identities and purpose. Nine days ago, Lan Ying asked me for a ten-day leave to visit her family, saying that she wanted to go back to her hometown to pay respects to her parents. After that, she left the palace and there was no news from me. I thought she was on her way back, but I didn't know she had been killed."

At this point, Liu sighed softly, feeling very regretful.

Wei Lansheng listened carefully and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Madam, for telling me."

Liu continued, "My second mother accidentally fell and was injured. As she is a girl, it is inconvenient for outsiders to touch her. I treated her. I used to be a female doctor in the palace and I have a basic understanding of medicine. Unfortunately, I could only save her life, but she suffered from amnesia. If Wei Fazuo suspects that what I said is false, you can ask a doctor to come and give her a follow-up examination."

Gao Dahai was very nervous. He was afraid that the stubborn Wei Lansheng would really go to see someone for a follow-up visit.

Fortunately, although Wei Lansheng is stubborn, he is not completely brainless.

"I have heard that Madam comes from a family of doctors, so her medical skills must be good. She often gives out alms and medicines at the Taoist temple to help the poor people. The people respect her very much, and her character is beyond doubt. Since Madam said that Chao Er Niang has lost her memory, I believe what she said, and there is no need to ask anyone to see Chao Er Niang again."

"Wei Fazuo, you are too kind." Liu returned to the main topic, "Lan Ying lost both her parents when she was young, and her fate was already unfortunate. Now she was brutally murdered by a villain. This makes me extremely sad. I hope the government can find out the truth as soon as possible, catch the real murderer, and give justice to the deceased."

Wei Lansheng solemnly promised: "I will do my best to investigate this case!"

Liu asked again: "Where is Lan Ying's body now?"

"In the autopsy room of the government office."

"Please take good care of Lan Ying's body. I want to bury her properly after the case is over."

"Yes."

Wei Lansheng asked a few more questions about Lan Ying, and Liu answered them one by one. Then Wei Lansheng took Gao Dahai and left.

Chaofu personally saw them out.

After everyone left, Liu glanced at Luhua, who understood and immediately went to guard outside the door.

Only Yan Ciwan and Liu were left in the room.

Liu looked at Yan Ciwan deeply.

Yan Ciwan asked in confusion: "Madam, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Just now you deliberately exposed your flaws in front of outsiders so that Wei Fazuo would notice that something was wrong with you. Ning Ci, what do you want to do?"

Yan Ciwan was stunned when he didn't expect the other party to reveal the truth in one sentence.

But Yan Ciwan did not panic. Although the other party knew her little thoughts, he not only did not expose her in public, but also helped her cover up. This was enough to show that the other party had no ill will towards her.

There was no one around at the moment, so Yan Ciwan had no scruples and spoke frankly.

"I don't want to stay in the palace anymore. I plan to leave now, but the army commander will not let me go easily. I have no choice but to do this. Now Wei Fazuo has noticed that something is wrong with me. I'm sure the government will find out soon that I'm not the real Chao Lu. It's useless for me to stay in the palace. It's better to let me leave now."

Liu already knew that Ning Ci had offended Chao Yuanzhi and Chao Yue today.

She guessed, "You asked Luhua to invite me here just now, is it for this matter?"

Yan Ciwan nodded slightly and responded.

"Well, it was you who asked me to stay and pretend to be Chaolu. Now that I'm leaving, I should naturally say hello to you. I also want to ask Madam to help with some travel expenses."
