Chapter 118 Suspicion
This emergency patrol actually went wrong - a female body was found in a small forest about a mile away from where Zhu Shilang lived.

After being identified by the nearby ministers and family members, they recognized that she was Miss Zhu's personal maid.

"Hey, it's the little maid from the Zhu family. The young lady from the Zhu family was born well, and so is that maid!"

"When the master and servant came out, they looked like a pair of sisters."

"No, they are two people as green as green onions."

"The two of them happily went out together this morning, saying they were going to pick flowers."

"A sin!"

……

Originally, there was only an almost fatal incident in Zhu Shilang's family, but now, before the young lady can save a life from the King of Hell, the maid has gone first.

The maid suddenly died in the woods, and the young lady drowned herself. No matter how you look at it, there seems to be a close connection between them.

"How come we didn't find anyone on patrol this morning?" Ning Zhao was furious.

Of course, during this trip to the palace, it was just a pretense to escape the heat; as a result, the heat was only moderate, but the anger became even greater.

"The forest is not big. It is full of low trees and there is no one there on weekdays. The people under my command use it as a place to defecate..." The voice of the commander of the imperial army was a little weak.

It was also a coincidence that one of his men couldn't bear it anymore and went directly into the woods to deal with it.

The girl's body was then seen.

If it weren't for this coincidence, it would have taken several days for this girl's body to be discovered.

"There are so many people in the palace, but there are still people who can kill people without knowing it," Ning Zhao sneered, "You have to wait until the knife is placed on my neck before you know that a thief has sneaked in, right?! "

"You deserve to die for your humble position!" The commander of the Imperial Army knelt down directly.

Ning Zhao said angrily: "What's the use of you being dead now? Why don't you go and check for me!"

The commander of the imperial army responded and left.

Ning Zhaoyou was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back and muttered: "These wastes..."

Yun Yuwei stretched out his hand to push him down on his seat, and softly comforted him: "When we find out what the problem is, it's not too late for you to get angry."

Ning Zhao held her hand with his backhand, as if trying to calm down his emotions.

"Ning Zhao," Yun Yu slightly watched him calm down before adding, "I want to borrow the Black Shadow Guard again."

"You use it, you use it," Ning Zhao glanced at her, "What's the word 'borrowing' about?"

Yun Yuwei didn't argue with him, but said solemnly, "The Zhu family probably has something going on."

"Do you doubt that Zhu Li directed and acted on his own?" Ning Zhao thought about Zhu Li who usually looked at the honest and strict husband in the court, and couldn't help but shook his head, "Zhu Li's descendants have never taken concubines despite hardships, and they only have such a daughter. , there is no reason for him to take his daughter’s life.”

Yun Yu nodded slightly: "This is natural."

"I think," she said quietly, "something happened to the Zhu family."

Something happened to the Zhu family, which caused the attitude towards Miss Zhu to change. That's why Miss Zhu was so angry that she wanted to use three feet of white silk to kill herself.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wang Defu walked in, looking a little unhappy.

"Say!" Ning Zhao was impatient.

"We just performed an autopsy on the maid of the Zhu family." Wang Defu said with a sad face. If the imperial concubine hadn't said so, all the news about the Zhu family would have been reported. He really didn't want to come here at this time to cause trouble.

"Say." Yun Yu sat up straight for a moment.

Wang Defu lowered his head and sighed: "That girl was tortured to death, and she has... lost her innocence."

Yun Yuwei suddenly stood up, and she suddenly thought of Miss Zhu's scars that could not be concealed, and her fingers with turned nails... Such vicious behavior suddenly reminded her of a person.

Yun Yuwei looked at Ning Zhao with a pale face.

Ning Zhao looked at her ugly face and naturally thought of the same person as her.

"Send someone to check Yang Hongcheng," Ning Zhao said solemnly, "see where he has been and what he has done today."

The two were silent for a while.

After a long time, Yun Yu whispered softly: "If it is really him, can you kill him?"

Ning Zhao was silent for a moment and said with difficulty: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Yun Yuwei suddenly closed her eyes. After a while, she slowly said: "Is this the end of Qingyin's injustice? Is this the end of the lives he caused?"

"Of course not." Ning Zhao let out a long breath, his eyes cold and sinister, "It's just not the time yet."

No one in Annan Palace can escape.

"I left a secret guard by Yun Lan's side." Yun Yuwei thought of another thing when mentioning Annan Palace, "I'm afraid Princess Qingning really likes Yun Lan. It's just that Yun Lan is stubborn, so I'm afraid she won't agree. She has a good face. Princess Qingning is probably just a child with a temper and will not really hurt Yunlan, but King Annan..."

She is not sure.

"It should have been like this a long time ago," Ning Zhao nodded, "I was negligent before."

The two fell into silence again.

Not long after, two pieces of news came.

First, Miss Zhu's life was out of danger, but she was still unconscious; second, Yang Hongcheng actually appeared outside the woods where the Zhu's maid died suddenly in the morning.

Sure enough it was Yang Hongcheng!

The two looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

It's just... there's no evidence.

Miss Zhu was still in a coma at this time, so of course she couldn't testify; even if she woke up, I'm afraid that with Zhu Shilang's rigid and strict character, she would never be allowed to really testify.

"He's too courageous!" Yun Yu's eyes flashed coldly, "I should have killed him directly a few days ago!"

Why bother disguising the wound poked by the golden hairpin as an arrow wound?
He should be shot directly in the chest and let him die completely, so that nothing like today would happen!

"Yu Wei." Ning Zhao called her softly.

"It's only been a few days, and he actually dared to kill someone," Yun Yu sneered slightly, "With his audacious temperament, I'm afraid he will do it again!"

"Do we have to sacrifice another life for him to catch his evidence?!" Yun Yu said angrily.

Ning Zhao also fell into deep thought.

After King Annan arrived at the palace, he was careless, thinking that with Qin Zhen here he could sit back and relax; now it seems that he has to keep an eye on King Annan's family twelve hours a day.

"It's not impossible to catch him with evidence," Ning Zhao said in a cold voice, "If you put me in a urn, he will definitely be fooled."

"You want..." Yun Yuwei noticed Ning Zhao's intention, shook his head, and said flatly, "No!"

It's too dangerous. Yang Hongcheng is crazy. The honey trap certainly works for him, but it's also too dangerous.

If a girl's reputation and life were compromised for the sake of Yang Hongcheng, it would be too much of a loss.

"There are also secret guards..."

"I've thought of a way." Yun Yuwei suddenly interrupted Ning Zhao.
