Chapter 618 The Crown Prince Always Wants to Do Something Bad to Me 29
【If we didn’t have a chance to meet in the previous life, we will meet again in the next life.】
Looking at this line of poem, Nanzhi subconsciously thought of the drop of liquid that hit her face that night.
Now, it seemed to be hot again, burning her heart to the point of discomfort.
She didn't want to read on, so she rolled up the scroll, but didn't put it back into the cabinet. Instead, she held it in one hand and walked out of the dark room silently.
In the past, she would have taken away the priceless night pearl, but at this moment, she only took away a worthless painting.
……
The prince's body needed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but no one expected that the moment the coffin was placed in the mausoleum, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing all the people carrying the coffin so hard that they broke out in a sweat and knelt down.
This scene was so strange that everyone looked terrified.
The Imperial Observatory was standing by and was also shocked when he saw this scene. He took out a tortoise shell used for divination and after doing some divination, he looked at the copper coins that fell out of it and his face changed drastically.
The emperor frowned when he saw that he looked unhappy. "What's going on?"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory glanced at the princes standing beside him, then walked up to the emperor and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the hexagrams show that there is a hidden story behind the Crown Prince's death. Among the princes present, there is a murderer who murdered the Crown Prince. If the murderer is not removed, the Crown Prince will not be buried in the imperial mausoleum."
Hearing this, the emperor's expression suddenly changed.
He glanced at all the princes present, frightening them all to their knees.
"Father, I did not murder the Crown Prince!"
"Neither do I!"
All the princes were crying out for injustice.
Chu Ning also shouted, and glanced towards the Imperial Observatory calmly. The Imperial Observatory was his people, and it was Chu Ning who asked him to calculate that Li Qiurou and Chu Yi's horoscopes were suitable, wanting to kill three birds with one stone.
He knew about Li Qiurou and Shi Xiangming, so he specially arranged a maid to be by her side, hoping that Li Qiurou would elope with Shi Xiangming before the marriage. This would not only make Chu Rui lose the support of the Li family, and the Li family lose Chu Rui's protection, but also make Chu Yi lose face.
Although the plan changed later, Chu Yi's death was a good result.
But he couldn't figure out what was going on with the Imperial Observatory today. Was it trying to threaten him by doing this?
No one could withstand the emperor's wrath. When all the princes wanted to prove their innocence, the Imperial Observatory said, "Your Majesty, there is actually a very simple way to find out who harmed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
He leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the emperor's expression slightly restrained. Although he felt it was a bit absurd, Chu Yi's death was indeed sudden, so he decided to give it a try.
He called Chu Rui first, "Take King Rui away."
When Chu Rui heard the emperor calling him Chu Rui, he was so scared that he thought the Imperial Observatory had said that he was the murderer, and he hurriedly explained to the emperor.
"Father, I am not your son..."
The emperor glared at him and said, "Take him away. If you say another word, you will be confined for a year!"
Chu Rui didn't dare to speak and was taken away by the guards in a dusty state.
Chu Ning looked at this scene and thought that the Imperial Observatory wanted to take this opportunity to help him get rid of Chu Rui. Just when he was happy, he didn't want to hear the Imperial Observatory say: "Carry the coffin!"
The coffin bearers tried to lift it again, but found that it was still impossible; it was too heavy to lift at all.
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Observatory shook his head at the emperor.
The emperor asked another prince to leave.
So, I called several people, but it still didn't work.
Chu Ning slowly realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Until he was called, he was taken to stand with the other princes nearly a hundred meters away from the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. He thought he would be like the other princes, but when he arrived, he saw the coffin being lifted up from afar.
The emperor turned around and looked at him coldly.
Looking at the guards rushing towards him, Chu Ning finally understood.
He was accused of being the murderer.
Chu Ning was surrounded by guards. The other princes were called to watch the ceremony, but he just stood there, watching from afar as the coffin was brought into the imperial mausoleum.
Chu Ning didn't expect that even after Chu Yi's death, he would still be plotting against him.
He thought quickly in his mind. He wanted to expose the Imperial Observatory, but the Imperial Observatory had a connection with him before, and once he said it out, it would be like exposing himself.
Chu Ning didn't expect Chu Yi's plan to be so vicious that he couldn't even prove his innocence.
However, as long as there is no evidence that he had previously murdered Chu Yi, he still has a way to protect himself.
But Chu Ning never expected that while he was surrounded by guards, someone had already reported to the Lord Tingwei who was in charge of the prison all the evidence and witnesses, including the fact that the former leader of Wuhui Sect gave him the Lingxi horn, that he had asked some gangsters to insult Li Qiurou, and the beauty pageant and the assassination on Chang Street.
When the Chief Justice rushed to the imperial mausoleum to arrest people, he happened to meet the emperor and others coming out of the imperial mausoleum.
The Chief Justice reported every detail of the matter to the emperor. After hearing it, the emperor's face turned completely dark.
"Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly!"
This unexpected change disrupted all of Chu Ning's plans. He didn't know how to argue with the emperor and was taken away by the court judge.
The emperor was almost angry to death when he thought about what the chief justice said.
He never thought that this matter would be related to Chu Ning.
After everyone left, the imperial tomb became quiet, with paper money all over the floor, a sealed entrance, and guards silently standing by. Everything seemed to have been settled.
Nanzhi pressed the acupoints of all the guards and wandered around the imperial mausoleum for several circles, but could not find the entrance to go down.
She became irritated and blew the whistle hanging around her neck.
Soon, other disciples of Wuhui Sect came from all directions.
She ordered coldly, "Go find the entrance!"
All the disciples started looking for it in a hurry.
But after searching everywhere, I couldn't find a safe entrance.
One of them came to Nanzhi and reported: "Master, as far as I know, since ancient times, once someone is buried in the imperial mausoleum, the entrance will be sealed. Unless it is destroyed, no one can enter."
"What will happen inside after the destruction?"
"There will definitely be damage inside, but we can't be sure to what extent."
Nanzhi was silent.
"Master, why are you looking for the entrance? Is the Lingxi Horn inside?"
“It’s not a rhinoceros horn.”
"That is……"
Nanzhi curled the corners of her lips, "...It is a very valuable night-shining pearl."
When the disciple heard this, his eyes brightened.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, Nanzhi fed him a pill.
Nanzhi looked at him coldly, "I fed you a poison. You have to take the antidote once every six months. If you dare to tell anyone about this or come to see me secretly, you will die from the poison."
The disciple was scared half to death.
Fortunately, not only he took the poison, but the other disciples did too.
Nanzhi said expressionlessly: "Get lost."
So the disciple left in a hurry.
After they left, the world became completely silent.
Nanzhi stroked the cold stone door in front of him and thought of his first meeting with Chu Yi.
His hands were colder than stone.
It was so cold that she felt uncomfortable.
She said slowly: "Chu Yi, I'll give you the rhinoceros horn, come out and eat it quickly."
