Yipin Farmer's Wife

Chapter 542 The Portrait of the Princess (3)
What they want is not a concubine who can only make money, but also a concubine who is mature in all aspects and will grow up.

In fact, they also know that asking Han Chulan like this is very heavy for Han Chulan. After all, she is only a small peasant girl. Even if there are some places that are a little weird, if you put too much burden on her at once, she will not be able to bear it. normal.

Han Chulan wanted to touch something from the deceased that could prove his identity.It's a pity that she touched the whole body of the deceased, but she couldn't find anything that could prove the identity of the deceased.

"The tunnels in the palace are used for escape, but there is a dead body here, which has been dead for many years, probably at least ten years. Who is he? No one will notice if you lose a person? Or someone outside the palace?" Han Chulan murmured. "The tunnel is located in such a hidden place. The study definitely belongs to the King of Chu. There is not even a single person in the vicinity of the study. Tsk, my sister is not a case solver. Why do you let me encounter such a thing?"

Han Chulan cursed in a low voice.

I feel that I have been playing a different role since I entered the imperial capital.

Touch the clothes of the deceased, they belong to brocade clothes and satin, the clothes are so good, the status must not be low.

"Could it be that the king of Chu killed someone, so he hid the corpse in the tunnel, and he was afraid that others would find out, so he didn't allow anyone to approach the study room? There is a portrait of his mother and concubine hanging in the study room. It's probably a false cover, used to confuse others, Chu Wang's real intention must be to cover up the death of the deceased. I'm sorry, sir. I want to find out your identity and seek justice for you. I can only strip your clothes. I think someone will recognize you. fully clothed."

After Han Chulan finished talking to herself, she immediately took off the dead man's clothes.

Xingyue still stood aside and watched.

Han Chulan only took off the robe of the deceased, and tried not to destroy the bones of the deceased as much as possible. This poor man died in this dark tunnel. It is estimated that his relatives have not found his body yet, or they do not know yet. He is dead.

After taking off the robe of the deceased, Han Chulan took another piece of fabric from Xingyue's hand, and covered the bones of the deceased with the cloth. She wanted to leave while holding the robe of the deceased, as if thinking of something As if, she listened intently outside, and there was no movement, so she said to Xingyue in a low voice: "We can't just let him lay his dead body here again, we have to bury him, otherwise the King of Chu will know about this person's death." If someone finds out, even the bones will be destroyed. When we prove the identity of the deceased, it will be difficult to deal with the dead without bones. Xingyue, you can carry a sharp weapon with you. Find a corner here to kill him. bury the bones first."

"Only a pocket knife."

Xingyue took out the small knife she carried with her.

Han Chulan wanted to take the knife, but Xingyue said, "Let the subordinates come down."

Han Chulan didn't compete with her, but took a golden hairpin from her head. Basically, there were two hairpins stuck in her bun, one gold and one wooden.That wooden hairpin was Ye Qianze's first gift to her, and she always put the wooden hairpin in her hair no matter what time of day it was.

Xingyue used a knife, and Han Chulan used a gold hairpin to manually dig a hole in the corner.

Ye Chen who was outside the tunnel opened the door of the study and walked into the study. A servant reported outside the house that Uncle Yuan Guo came to visit. He quickly looked around the study and then listened intently. He couldn't hear any movement. There was no one, and it was the first time Yuan Que came to visit on his own initiative, so he immediately closed the door of the study, turned around and left.

Yuan Que came at the right time, otherwise Han Chulan wouldn't have had so much time to dig a hole to bury the dead.

Without good tools, the two men dug a very shallow pit, buried a pair of bones in it, and the soil could only submerge the bones.

After simply burying the dead, the master and servant left along the exit of the tunnel.

In the hall, Ye Chen and Yuan Que sat down as guests, Ye Chen ordered his servants to serve the best tea immediately, and said to Yuan Que with a smile: "Uncle Guo, please drink tea."

The concubine ordered someone to look for him, saying that a distinguished guest was coming, but she didn't say what kind of distinguished guest it was.As soon as he returned to the mansion, he habitually went to his study first, before thinking of turning around to ask the concubine where the distinguished guests were, and the servants came to report Yuan Guojiu's visit, and Ye Chen thought it was Yuan Que who was coming.I am slightly glad that I am still back.

Usually he couldn't invite Yuan Que, but today Yuan Que took the initiative to visit. Ye Chen was very happy on the surface, but he was guessing Yuan Que's intention in his heart.

He has not forgotten Master Duan's death.

Lord Duan was lurking in the Great Star Dynasty with him, but now Lord Duan died at the hands of Yuan Que because of carrying out the task he ordered.It was not Mr. Duan who was killed by Yuan Que himself, but the evidence that Mr. Duan attacked Han Chulan was provided by Yuan Que. Mr. Duan's martial arts was abolished by Yuan Que, which means he was killed by Yuan Que.

"Yuan Que took the liberty to come to visit, and I hope the prince will forgive me."

Whoever they want to visit, they always send a post to the host's house first, so that the host's family can make preparations first, so as not to be presumptuous.

Yuan Que didn't send the post, because the concubine sent someone to find Ye Chen first, and Yuan Que came by coincidence, so Ye Chen thought that Yuan Que sent the post first.Hearing what Yuan Que said, he smiled: "Uncle Guo is serious, it is my king's honor to be able to come."

Picking up the tea, Yuan Que took a sip gracefully and praised, "Good tea."

Ye Chen said with a smile: "This is the best Longjing, my favorite. If Uncle Guo thinks it's delicious, I can ask someone to make some for Uncle Guo to bring back to his house to taste slowly."

Yuan Que smiled gently, "The prince probably doesn't have much tea, so how could Yuan Que dare to take the favor of the prince."

"It's just some tea leaves. I'm afraid that Uncle Guo will look down on you."

Yuan Que had a warm expression on his face, "Then Yuan Que is not welcome. Here, Yuan Que thanked the prince first." Han Chulan likes to drink famous tea, and just gave it to Han Chulan.

"Father...Uncle Yuan Guo? Xing Ning was rude, Xing Ning met Uncle Guo."

Xing Ning, who suddenly bumped in, seemed to be looking for Ye Chen, but actually came for Yuan Que.

Seeing Yuan Que, Xing Ning restrained his mind and blessed Chao Yuan Que.Yuan Que didn't even look at her, and when she came in, he drank his tea lightly, and when Xingning saluted him, he said politely: "Princess Xingning really broke Yuan, How dare Yuan Mou accept the gift from the princess." He said so, but sat there without moving, really receiving the gift from Xingning.

Yechen knew what his daughter was thinking, but he pretended to reprimand him: "Xingning, you're getting worse and worse, don't you know that my father is seeing a guest, you bumped in indiscriminately, and taught Uncle Guo a joke, why don't you go back quickly?" Down."

"Father, my daughter is just...ahem..."

Xingning coughed lightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he kept staring at Yuan Que.
