Chapter 179 The Death and Life of King Qin
When Mo Sangqing left Qianjiu Inn to go to the Imperial Palace, in Prince Rui's Mansion, King Qi covered his nose and looked at the coffin in front of him, his brows furrowed and he asked, "Is this big brother?"

Although the corpse in the coffin was soaked in a thick layer of lime, the corpse was rotten and incomplete. Half of the head was missing, and half of the remaining face was swollen and covered with a layer of yellow corpse. Wax, certainly can not see the original colors.

Prince Rui stood beside King Qi, and said: "I don't know, I can't see it."

"The servants around the corpse of Prince Qin have all identified them, they are all the guards of Prince Qin," the steward of Prince Rui's mansion who was kneeling on the ground said, "This corpse has Prince Qin's prince Long Pei on it, and Prince Qin is also on his hand. The usual sword."

The dragon-shaped jade pendant that is only available to the princes of Jin Dynasty, the son of King Qin is now placed in the coffin, so both King Qi and Prince Rui can see it.

Suppressing the nausea caused by the rotting corpse, King Qi wrapped his hands in a handkerchief and took out the jade pendant from the coffin. The jade pendant was made of white jade and was carefully carved into the shape of a flying dragon. Because of the prince's jade pendant, the dragon's claws were not the emperor's five. Claws, but four claws.King Qi carefully looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and said to Prince Rui: "This is the prince's pendant, that's right. Big brother has scars on this piece, do you see it?" King Qi pointed to an inconspicuous pattern on the jade pendant and told Prince Rui Look, "Brother made a mistake when he was young, and his father took this jade pendant and slapped it on his head, so there was a crack on his piece. After the head of the elder brother recovered, there was also a scar."

Speaking of childhood, Qi Wang shook his head and smiled, and said: "That time, everyone in the palace will be beaten into a fool by the father, and Concubine Zheng almost lost her eyes from crying."

"And this matter?" Prince Rui said in a low voice, "No one told me about it."

"You were just born that year," King Qi put the jade pendant back into the coffin, and said, "It's not a matter of having a long face, who would say that?"

Prince Rui looked at the remaining half of the head of the corpse.

"On the missing side," King Qi said, "it looks like the elder brother in terms of figure."

Prince Rui's gaze stopped at the place where the corpse had been burned, then he turned his head and asked the manager, "Have all the corpses been burned, or is it just this one?"

The person in charge said: "They have been burned. It may be that the murderer set fire to destroy the body after the murder, but it may have encountered heavy rain afterwards, so the murderer did not burn the body. The servant has inquired about the time when Prince Qin was killed. , It has been raining heavily for several days at Short Songgang.”

"Short pine hill?" King Qi said, "You mean that King Qin died in the pine forest?"

"Short Pine Hill is an earthy hillside," Prince Rui said, "There is a small road over this hillside, which allows eldest brother to bypass Tongling Pass and directly enter Gyeonggi. There is no pine forest there, it's just a name."

"Even if this group of assassins comes to him, will he detour around Short Songgang?" King Qi asked.

Prince Rui bowed his head and remained silent, of course not.

"Then this, is this the body of eldest brother?" King Qi asked Prince Rui this question again.

The body can be identified through the figure, clothing, and accompanying objects, but Prince Rui looked at the rotting corpse in front of him and asked himself, is this the corpse of King Qin?

"He, he has no reason to fake death, right?" King Qi whispered after a while: "He doesn't have to."

"What if he believes that someone in the court wants to kill him?" Prince Rui whispered.

King Qi was speechless.

"If he is still alive, what will he do?" Prince Rui took the sword in the coffin into his hand.

King Qi said with some difficulty, "What can he do?"

Prince Rui pulled out the sword, the candlelight was reflected by the sword, and hurt King Qi's eyes.

"He wants to seize the throne?" Qi Wang said: "Impossible, his mother and concubine, his wife and children are all in the capital, how dare he?"

"If the wife dies, she can remarry; if the children are gone, she can have another child." Prince Rui looked at the long sword in his hand, "As for the mother and concubine, Zheng Guifei has always hoped that he will become a dragon, and she will not hesitate to pay any price. , so knowing that she has become an obstacle for her son to become emperor, what will she do?"

"Kill herself," King Qi said.

King Qin's sword made a "clang" sound in Prince Rui's hand, the long sword was put back into its sheath, and the light of the sword shrank, only then did King Qi feel that his eyes felt better.

Prince Rui stared at the corpse in the coffin, and said to the manager: "You step back."

"Yes," the person in charge knew that he had heard a lot of things he shouldn't have heard, and after hearing what Prince Rui told him to step down, the person in charge felt that he could live again, so he hurriedly got up from the ground and retreated.

"Is this frankly him?" King Qi asked urgently, "Does he have a birthmark? Let's, let's let Princess Qin take a look?"

"After Princess Qin has seen it, how do you know that she will tell us the truth?" Prince Rui said, "If Prince Qin is not dead, who will she tell the news first?"

"Tell who?" King Qi's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he couldn't think of anything.

"She will tell Concubine Zheng, so that the Zheng family will become King Qin's right-hand man again," Prince Rui said, "And after Concubine Zheng has killed Concubine Qin and the children of King Qin, she will kill herself."

King Qi slammed his fist on the coffin.

Prince Rui only stared at the rotten corpse in front of him. The corpse was rotten badly, but there were spices and agglomerated lime in the coffin to suppress the smell, so the smell from the corpse was as bad as the two princes. within the tolerance range.

"Maybe, maybe we are scaring ourselves?" King Qi touched his hand that hurt from being smashed, and said to Prince Rui: "This is King Qin, he died in that short Songgang."

"Half of the face is missing, this person should die on the spot," Prince Rui said, "Second brother, tell me, if the wound on his head is fatal, what about the wound on his chest and ribs?" thing?"

King Qi looked at the corpse in the coffin again, staring blankly.

The brocade clothes wrapped around King Qin's body had been stripped away. There were many wounds on the body, but the wounds on the chest and under the ribs were the most serious. They looked like fatal wounds.

"Maybe he was besieged at that time," King Qi said, "It's not surprising that there were several fatal wounds on his body at the same time."

"Big brother's martial arts are not good," Prince Rui said, "It is not necessary to kill him like this."

King Qi's cheeks trembled, "So, King Qin is still alive?"

"No, he's dead." Prince Rui put King Qin's sword back into the coffin.

"Then what do you say these are?"

"I mean, even if he appears there again in the future, that person won't be our imperial brother, King Qin is dead." Prince Rui looked at King Qi and said, "Second Brother, do you understand what I mean?"

King Qi understood that even if King Qin was still alive, the royal family would treat the eldest son of Emperor Xingyuan as dead.

"It's better for him to die," Prince Rui whispered again.

"The person who harmed him can only be Duke Hu, or the Fu family," King Qi was able to struggle a little more, and said, "Now that the father and son of the Fu family are dead, that woman, Concubine Fu, is a living dead. You should know that we avenged him."

"So he came back?" Prince Rui laughed, "Second brother, do you really think so?"
