Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 662 Killed
In the early spring of the 43rd year of the Fengtian Dynasty, the envoys who came to the frontier fortress country to make peace, were blocked in Jingling City for more than half a month because of heavy snow blocking the mountains.

When he left Jingling City on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month and was about to set off, the sixth princess Karqin, who had come to marry him, disappeared.

On the morning of the second day of Karqin's disappearance, his body was found in a courtyard near the imperial city.And this courtyard house is next door to Shizi Mansion.

It is said that when she was found, the sixth princess Karqin didn't have any scars on her body, and even her clothes didn't have any irregularities.

But the person who found her body said that the moment he saw the body, he saw someone jumping from the wall of the courtyard and disappearing into the Prince's Mansion.

When Ka Fulian saw her sister's body, she fainted immediately.The body of the sixth princess was placed in the palace by her brother-in-law Feng Junxi, a mourning hall was set up, and she was put in a coffin.

After an unknown amount of time, Kafulian woke up Yoyo, and said in a shrill voice, "I want to seek revenge from them!"

Feng Junxi glanced at her, raised his hand, and touched her sleeping point directly.Looking at the maidservant next to her, she frowned: "Stay here carefully, I will send the princess to the palace first, and come back later!"

Karqin, the sixth princess of the frontier country, was suddenly killed in a courtyard next to the Prince's Mansion without any wounds on her body.A group of envoys from the frontier country entered the palace for several days and asked Emperor Fengkang to give them an explanation.

They even threatened that if they couldn't give a reasonable explanation and hand over the murderer, they would force their troops to attack Jingling City.

For a moment, the situation between the frontier country and the Fengtian Dynasty became tense.

At the same time, Xiliu Kingdom, which had been in civil strife, suddenly raised troops to invade at this time.This time, they did not approach Nanjun directly, but detoured through the swamp and attacked Wancheng in the southeast.

Wancheng is thousands of miles away from Nanjun.

The army of the Xiliu Kingdom came fiercely, and the defenders of Wancheng were caught off guard, but within three days, Wancheng fell and became the city of the army of the Xiliu Kingdom.

This matter was reported back to Jingling City, and the ministers in the court heard it, and everyone was shocked.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to delay sending troops!" A minister said.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Xiliu Kingdom's military strength is not strong recently. The dispatch of troops to Wancheng this time must be just a shocking move. As long as people are carefully guarded, there is no need to send troops in large numbers. More attention should be paid to the The bombing of the sixth princess of the frontier country."

"That's right, Your Majesty, I also think that the bombing of the sixth princess of the frontier country is the key point to prevent the frontier country from sending troops."

"Wancheng must be taken back, but the northwest border has to be guarded by a large army! If the frontier country sends troops, our country will suffer from the enemy!"

"Your Majesty, the two adults are right. Xiliu Kingdom has been in civil strife for more than half a year, even if it is now forcibly capturing Wancheng."

"But according to their current power, it is absolutely impossible to conquer Lancang City after Wancheng! We only need to increase our strength in Lancang City, and rely on the natural danger of Lancang City, we can be safe for a while."

"Now the sixth princess of the frontier country died in a courtyard outside the Shizi mansion. It is urgent to find the real culprit and give an explanation to the envoy of the frontier country!" the minister said respectfully.

Feng Jiuyou, who was sitting high, frowned slightly, looked at the ministers with a gloomy and unfathomable expression: "Any other opinions?"

Zixu stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I feel that the ministers are reasonable. As for the death of the sixth princess, it is indeed necessary to investigate strictly and give the frontier country a reasonable explanation."

"If there is a war with the frontier country, even if the Xiliu country's military strength is still weak, it's hard to say. They don't want a piece of the pie."

General Yang Muzhong stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have been guarding the northwest border, and the dog is still in the northwest camp. Even if the frontier country sends troops rashly, we can resist for a while. But if the frontier country sends troops on the basis of the six princesses, it will still fight against the west. It will become a fact that the exile countries join forces and face the enemy behind their backs."

"Yes, yes!" the ministers murmured.

At this time, the envoys from the frontier fortress country had just left the court hall, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs were present in the court hall.Feng Jiuyou looked at them whispering to each other, sighing and anxious at the same time, frowning slightly.

"What do you ministers say about the death of Karqin in the frontier country?" After a while, Feng Jiuyou frowned and asked.

A minister stood up: "Your Majesty, since someone saw someone entering the Shizi Mansion, and the sixth princess died in the courtyard outside the Shizi Mansion..."

Speaking of this, the minister paused for a moment, glanced at Feng Jiuyou who was sitting high, and couldn't help but lower his voice a lot: "This minister thinks, we can let you do an autopsy first to find out the cause of the sixth princess Karqin's death."

"At the same time, people can search the courtyard and Shizi Mansion, maybe they can find clues."

Another minister stood up and said respectfully: "I feel that since someone saw someone entering the Shizi's Mansion from the courtyard that day, they can find out the ID card of that person and ask!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I also feel that I need to find out the identity card of that person first and ask. Shizi's Mansion is the mansion of King Pingnan, without sufficient evidence, how can I search the mansion at will?" Another minister said respectfully .

Feng Changxi, who had been standing in front of him without speaking, smiled slightly at this time, and said calmly: "Since someone saw that person enter the Prince's Mansion, now is an extraordinary period, I feel that everyone should not worry about my identity, and find out the truth." Violence is the top priority."

"My lord?" Some ministers hesitated slightly.

Zixu glanced at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Feng Changxi: "Since King Pingnan nodded, I feel that I can let Wu conduct an autopsy to find out the cause of death. At the same time, let people investigate, and at the same time find that person's evidence." Come out and testify!"

Feng Jiuyou listened with a low voice: "In this case, this matter will be handled by Dali Temple! Within three days, we must find out the real culprit!"

A minister stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

It took three days to find out the real culprit, and they were still hunting around, how could they find out?But now time is running out, if the real culprit can't be found, I'm afraid the frontier country will go to war.

"According to my decree, step up the defense of the gates of the Mausoleum City. All convoys entering and exiting Jingling City must be searched seriously, and no suspicious things are allowed to be missed!"

There was a trace of coldness in Feng Jiuyou's eyes, and Feng Jiuyou said coldly: "At the same time, no one from the frontier country is allowed to leave Jingling City without my order! Their every move is closely monitored, and anyone who has a pigeon to send a message , intercept and kill all the way!"

Before the real culprit is found out, the news of the death of the sixth princess in the frontier country must not be let go.

"All of this must be done in secret! No one can see anything unusual!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Feng Jiuyou glanced at them, and said coldly: "Retire!"

Zixu walked at the back, Feng Jiuyou glanced at those ministers, then at Feng Changxi who was heading towards Renshou Palace, looked at Zixu and said, "Zixu, you go to Shizi Mansion yourself!"

Zixu nodded and quickly backed out.

Feng Jiuyou looked at the sky full of clouds, the sky was fine today, but the speed and method of those people's actions were really beyond their expectations.

"Your Majesty, should we go to the Imperial Study Room, or go back to Jiuyou Palace?" Liuyan asked respectfully.

Feng Jiuyou loosened her frown: "Go back to Jiuyou Palace! The Empress didn't ask about these things, so there's no need to mention them. If you ask, tell the truth!"
