Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 257 Wearing small shoes secretly, sleeping with a corpse (5)
Yun Wanqin propped herself up, took advantage of the moonlight coming in from the skylight and windows and the lights from the guards downstairs when they were on patrol, and scanned the room, but there was no one there.

For some reason, she still felt a little cold in her heart, like a long icicle under the eaves in winter. After melting, it fell drop by drop on the skin and penetrated into the bone suddenly.

She was worried, and got out of bed to check the door, it was locked well, and then she came back and glanced at Cao Ning'er, Lin Ruonan, and Han Xiangxiang who were on the bunk.

Patting her chest, her tension relaxed, maybe she was overwhelmed.

After two tossings in one night, Yun Wanqin finally felt drowsy, and after a while, she closed her eyelids and fell asleep.

The next day, because she slept the last, Yun Wanqin woke up the latest among the others.

The sweet drowsiness has not completely dissipated, Yun Wanqin's eyelids loosened a bit, although they haven't opened yet, they can already feel the hazy skylight coming in from the skylight.

Aunt Zheng should come to urge you to get up and wash up, right?
Turning over, Yun Wanqin was exhausted after a sleep, swept away, just rubbed her sleepy eyes, a woman's shrill cry came from her ear: "Ah-ah-dead-dead -"

The woman's young and delicate voice was right in front of her ears, not far away, full of fear and collapse, and immediately there was another burst of wailing.

Yun Wanqin shivered, no drowsiness at all, sat up and looked, and saw Cao Ning'er who woke up first and slept next to Lin Ruonan was still wearing thin silk pajamas, and her hair that hadn't been combed in time was loose. Supporting both sides of the bed with her hands, she stepped back, her face was pale with fright, and the scream came from her mouth.

And Han Xiangxiang woke up a little earlier than Yun Wanqin, and after seeing clearly the situation on the bunk, he was so frightened that he couldn't even yell out, "Ah—" before he could yell out, in a panic, one of them didn't know what to do. Carefully fell off the bed, and shrank into the corner regardless of the pain of the fall, shaking with hands and feet, trembling all over.

Without saying a word, Yun Wanqin threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed, and ran to the only person in the room who was not moving.

Lin Ruonan was covered with a quilt, as if he was still sleeping. The quilt was not wrinkled or messed up, and there was almost nothing unusual, except for his face.

But on that face, the eyes were round and round, the eyeballs were about to bulge out, there were bloodshots from the corners of the eyes, and the lips were dark purple.

With a horrific look of dying, it's no wonder that Cao Ning'er and Han Xiangxiang were so scared out of their wits!

Yun Wanqin held her heart beating wildly, stretched out a finger, put it under Lin Ruonan's nose, without breathing, her throat was dry, but she did not hesitate: "She has passed away, please inform Aunt Zheng immediately."

Hearing this, Cao Ning'er and Han Xiangxiang screamed at the top of their throats, desperately got off the bed and backed away. They didn't know how long Lin Ruonan had been dead. They thought they might sleep with a dead body overnight, so how could they not be afraid?
At this moment, the four maidservants in the green gauze cupboard outside the door had heard the panic inside and rushed in. Seeing this situation, they also shouted into a ball.

The two servant girls of the Lin family rushed forward and burst into tears: "Miss...Miss...what's the matter...why did this happen suddenly..."

Although this Lin Ruonan was not likable, and she targeted her all the way, Yun Wanqin was not happy about her strange death. Obviously, Lin Ruonan died abnormally.

what happened!

"Don't touch her." Yun Wanqin stopped her sharply when she saw that the Lin family's servant girl was about to jump on her young lady and pull Lin Ruonan's clothes, "If he kills her, be careful to destroy the evidence!"

Having said that, the maid of the Lin family immediately shrank back, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

The others were trembling all over, terrified.

he killed?

How could someone murder Miss Lin?

They are traveling with Yujia, and they are heavily guarded. Who would have the guts to sneak into the house and try to murder them!
At this moment, Zheng Huaqiu was called over, and he saw that although his face was pale, he was old-fashioned, and immediately shouted at the eunuch behind him: "Notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

In less than half a cup of tea, an official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came, accompanied by two servants dressed as palace guards. When they saw the scene inside the house, they were shocked and asked Zheng Huaqiu to take the ladies and maidservants out for inspection. After looking at the scene, he ordered his subordinates to wrap Lin Ruonan's body in a white cloth and carry it out.

But Yun Wanqin, Cao Ning'er, and Han Xiangxiang were placed in another room, and after drinking two sips of hot tea, they calmed down a little.

Just at this moment, the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over, glanced at the three women, and said, "Please Miss Yun, Miss Cao, and Miss Han to go downstairs with the officials, and the adults from the Punishment Department Want to meet you guys."

As soon as the words came out, Cao Ning'er and Han Xiangxiang panicked again: "What, where are you going? Why did the people from the Punishment Department want to see us? It has nothing to do with us..."

Yun Wanqin comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, we live in the same room with Miss Lin, it should be the Ministry of Internal Affairs who asked us to ask us about yesterday's situation as usual, just tell us straight."

The two felt relieved, and went out together with Yun Wanqin.

Zheng Huaqiu was relieved to see that Yun Wanqin was calm, although she was frightened but her thoughts were not confused, but she was still not at ease thinking about it. After all, these ladies were all brought by themselves, so they hurried downstairs, intending to find someone to find out Looking at the situation over there, as soon as he got downstairs, he almost bumped into a handsome young guard.

The man's eyes were bright, and he grabbed her by the wrist: "Aunt Zheng, I heard that the departure time will be postponed, and something happened to you. What's the matter?"

Zheng Huaqiu saw that it was Qin Wang Shiting's personal servant, hurriedly saluted, panted, and told the whole story.

Shi Yaoan's face changed when he heard this: "Where are the ladies now?"

"People from the Department of Punishment and Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs invited him over, probably for questioning."

Shi Yaoan turned his head and strode towards the north of the post house.

The tall and tall houses with Zhuwa green eaves in the north are magnificent and magnificent, and are the places where the royal relatives live.

The young guards entered the gorgeous inner hall like the wind, and opened the curtain to enter the inner room. From time to time, people along the road bowed and greeted: "Master Shi."

Xiahou Shiting always got up early, and he was going to set off this morning, even before the rooster crowed, he got up, washed and washed, tied up his hair crown, played chess in front of the window, and made fun of himself, waiting to go on the road.

In the magnificent wing room, the earth dragon is burning vigorously, and the gold and copper incense burner with crane mouth in the center exudes a refreshing fragrance.

The man was dressed in a white fine satin gown, a fur with a fox fur collar and a golden python pattern on the outside, and a golden yellow belt around his waist. His well-defined face was slightly lowered, and his deep eyes were staring at the unresolved eyes. The chess game was played, and beside him was Rui Zhi who took care of the diet and daily life.
