Chapter 326 Death
Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing both held their breath and leaned over to listen.
But at this moment, a shrill scream was heard outside the bedroom door.
"Murder! Someone's dead!"
"Hurry, run for your life, another one is dead!"
"Don't step on me, don't step on me, I'm here to report the news!"
"What's going on? Help, Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"..."
Hearing the noise coming from outside the hall, the two could no longer sit still.
"What's happening outside?!"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
Feixing opened the door and saw the bodies of two palace maids lying at the door.
One of them was clearly the one who had just been serving beside the Queen Mother!
There was blood on the corners of the two men's mouths, and the rest of the palace servants who were waiting outside all fled in panic.
While fleeing in fear, two eunuchs tripped and fell to the ground. They were now being trampled by the crowd, their faces covered in bruises, and it looked like they were only breathing their last few breaths.
Lu Xuan quickly called out to Sang Luo, "Quick, rescue those two East Palace eunuchs and ask them what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Jiang Xing also ordered Fei Xing, "Catch the two people who escaped and bring them in. I want to ask what happened to the two palace maids who died!"
Feixing and Sangluo immediately walked towards the crowd.
The chaos outside had not yet resolved when suddenly, Nanny Yu, who had been staying in the hall, exclaimed again.
"what--"
Lu Xuan immediately turned around to look, and then her pupils trembled and her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
"Mother!"
The heartbeat was amplified at this moment, as if a cowhide drum exploded and hit my chest.
When Jiang Xing heard Lu Xuan's heart-wrenching and broken scream, he turned around, his rationality was blown to pieces, and the blood in his body seemed to flow backwards.
"Mother!"
Both of them ran towards the Queen Mother at high speed.
Nanny Yu had difficulty walking, so she walked slowly, but she followed closely.
Lu Xuan checked the empress dowager's breath and saw her face was as pale as paper.
She looked at Jiang Xing at a loss, her hands shaking violently, her eyes suddenly filled with emotions, "Yunce, what should I do? Mother has passed away!"
Jiang Xing listened to Lu Xuan's words in disbelief, his face instantly turned pale and his mind went blank.
He looked at the empress dowager who had closed her eyes, and took two steps back in a daze, like a mindless puppet.
"A Xuan, you, stop messing around, you must have made a mistake..."
Lu Xuan's tears fell, and he covered his mouth and sobbed softly.
The corners of Jiang Xing's eyes turned scarlet instantly.
"boom!"
A powerful punch slammed down on the brocade couch.
With this punch, there was a "crack" sound and one of the pillars on the couch shattered into pieces.
As if finally coming to his senses, he clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with suppressed hatred, and a storm surged: "I should have thought of this earlier! Another attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
The back of Jiang Xing's hand immediately started to ooze blood because of the heavy punch. Lu Xuan took a look and signaled him not to do anything to hurt him.
She also felt hatred in her heart.
I just had a mother who treated me so well, why did she pass away before I could even say anything?
Her nose felt sore and tears poured down like a waterfall, and she couldn't hold them back at all.
The two were immersed in heart-wrenching sorrow when suddenly, the empress dowager's body trembled slightly.
Her soul left her body.
Lu Xuan wiped away her tears and subconsciously took out the golden hairpin.
They all thought that if all the palace people were driven out, and the Cining Palace's sleeping quarters had trusted people in charge, they should be airtight.
Unexpectedly, the enemy was able to kill with such precision before they could obtain crucial information. Such a terrifying thing, how did they do it?!
But no matter what, she also knew that even a fly in the Cining Palace was a spy, and she could no longer trust them.
Therefore, she did not say anything, but directly chanted the spell and quickly took in the empress dowager's soul.
Jiang Yuanfeng activated the Qiankun Five Qi Formation for Song Chuchu. Fortunately, she still has the opportunity to collect the empress dowager's soul and slowly find an opportunity to find out the truth from the empress dowager.
There was trouble in the bedroom, so Jiang Xing ordered Feixing to stop caring about the situation outside the palace and quickly closed the palace door.
"The Queen Mother's death will not be disclosed to the public for the time being. Pei Fan is standing outside. If he knew the situation, my brother would definitely intervene quickly. It would be even more difficult for us to find the truth!"
Jiang Xing gave orders to Fei Xing and Sang Luo at the door, and both of them understood the criticality and urgency of the moment.
The death of the Empress Dowager is a big deal, and that’s compounded by the lies he told to the palace maids today about wanting to get some treasure.
Now that the prophecy has come true, if it were to spread out, the spit from all over the world would flood Prince Jin's Palace.
Lu Xuan immediately went forward to check the empress dowager's body, with Nanny Yu helping him.
However, to their surprise, after a cup of tea and several people inspecting back and forth for a long time, there was no sign of harm on the empress dowager's body.
She couldn't help but look at Aunt Yu: "Aunt, I didn't find any signs of harm on the Queen Mother. I also removed the poison curse on her just now, and I didn't use any of the induction left by the mysterious magic.
In such a short time, even if poison was used, the residual power of my spell would not have penetrated the Queen Mother's body. You were the one who made the first scream, and you were the one who alerted our mother to her situation. So, can you tell me how she died?"
Nanny Yu had long been moved by the Queen Mother's true love for Lu Xuan, so she felt heartbroken when she hastily accepted her death.
"Young lady, my attention was also drawn to the sound outside the palace. When I turned around, I saw the Empress Dowager's eyes rolled back, and she was about to breathe her last. I was so shocked that I screamed immediately."
She took a deep breath, but tears still glistened in her eyes from the previous emotion.
Lu Xuan lowered his eyes, a hint of loss flashed across his face.
She should have guessed this answer long ago.
Both he and the prince were lured out by the other party using a feint to the east and a detour to the west, let alone Nanny Yu who was entering the palace for the first time?
Sighing, she said, "That's right. I originally wanted Madam to come and recognize Jiang Yuanfeng today, but I didn't expect to witness such a cruel scene."
After she finished speaking, Nanny Yu's eyes suddenly fixed.
She had been staying by the Queen Mother's side, helping Lu Xuan examine her body. At this moment, she suddenly saw the key.
"Girl, please look!"
Nanny Yu excitedly pointed at a small black spot on the Queen Mother's temple, "It's here! Someone shot a long needle into Nanny Yu's temple!"
Lu Xuan followed the direction of Nanny Yu's finger, then reached out and touched the empress dowager's acupuncture point, and his limbs instantly felt cold.
There really was a long needle hidden in the Queen Mother's temple! If you weren't paying attention, you'd think it was just a mole!
She looked at Aunt Yu in shock, "Aunt, how did you find out? Also, this hall is airtight, who put this long needle in there and when?!"
All of this was so confusing and unbelievable that she held her breath, desperately trying to find an answer.
Seeing the long needle in the Queen Mother's temple, Jiang Xing's whole body quickly condensed into a murderous aura. He curled the corners of his mouth sinisterly, and his voice was filled with wind and snow: "He actually inserted a needle into the Queen Mother's brain in front of me, without anyone noticing. I want to see whether he is a human or a ghost!"
The long needle was bent in Jiang Xing's hand, and with a "click", it broke into two pieces in an instant.
Nanny Yu pursed her lips tightly, her eyes moving quickly and faintly as if searching for something in her memory.
After a while, she seemed to have thought of something, and her body trembled a little: "I think, I know two ways to make people die in such a situation!"
"What?!" Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan said in unison.
"First, it's the invisibility spell!" Nanny Yu's eyes were blazing. "In this room, the Empress Dowager's position is not near the window, so using a bow and arrow should not be possible. If it was a martial arts expert hidden in the room, he should have been found when we first came in to check. This is impossible. Besides, there is only the third possibility. If it was Jiang Yuanfeng, he might be able to do it with the invisibility spell!"
Everyone agreed with what he said, but Lu Xuan rejected it immediately.
"The day before yesterday, he instructed Song Chuchu to seize my body. At that critical moment, my consciousness was forced to fly out of my body. I found him by following my mind power and attacked him. He even vomited blood.
But I felt at the time that he seemed to have been seriously injured. Normally, he couldn't use the invisibility spell in such a physical condition."
Nanny Yu frowned and thought, "Then there is only one possibility left!"
