Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 224 The Corpse Is Missing

She just wanted to spend the last night with Zichan peacefully and peacefully.

Zhu Zichan finally stopped crying and making trouble, and he should have accepted this fact.

Time continued to pass bit by bit, and soon it was midnight. At this moment, there was a sound from the cell door, and the cell door creaked and was knocked open.

Zhu Zichan turned around suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

She stared at the door, and sure enough, she saw a person walking slowly from the door with a lantern in his hand. His footsteps were very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone. It was stepping on Zhu Zichan's heart.

Step by step, finally, she saw him, the man covered his face, walked up to her and finally stood still.

Zhu Zichan suddenly stood up from the ground as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, leaned on the railing of the cell, and looked at the man eagerly.

The man stretched out his hand and opened it slowly, holding a small porcelain bottle there. He stretched his hand into the cell door and said in a low voice:

"Where is the King Ji's request?"

Zhu Zichan hurriedly reached out to grab the porcelain bottle, but the man suddenly clenched his hand tightly.

Zhu Zichan had no choice but to take out a gold plate from his bosom and hand it to the man.

The man took it, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, then opened his hand holding the porcelain bottle, and said:
"Eat it, and you will feel as if you are dead. You don't need me to teach you the next thing?"

"Well, I know how to do it?"

Zhu Zichan nodded.

"His Royal Highness Ji said, leave the city and never come back, otherwise, your life and death will have nothing to do with him!"

After speaking, the man turned and left.

Zhu Zichan suddenly became happy, she happily opened the porcelain bottle, and poured the contents into her mouth.

After eating, he just turned his head and said to Second Aunt:
"Mother, after I fake my death, you must remember to yell!"

The second aunt had been watching this scene silently, and now she nodded.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and my second sister!"

Zhu Zichan said again.

"No! Cicada..."

Second Aunt shook her head, and just wanted to persuade her, but before she finished speaking, Zhu Zichan was on the verge of collapse.

She hastily stretched out her hands to help her, put her body on the firewood to sleep well, then touched her breath, but it was gone.

"Chan'er, Chaner..."

The second aunt cried twice, tears pouring out, she stroked her face, over and over again...

After a while, she suddenly smiled again, and whispered to her:

"Cicada, mother knows that what mother says is useless, but mother still wants to say, if you can escape this disaster, after you go out, you will fly away and never come back again! Although yesterday, mother still wanted to Let you take revenge, but today, mother figured it out, instead of living with hatred for the rest of her life, rather than letting you gamble with your life, mother would rather you live an ordinary life! Unfortunately, mother realized it too late! Chaner, but I hope that after this catastrophe, you can also figure it out, and mother will bless you in the sky!"

After speaking, Second Auntie began to cry loudly.

"My daughter, my woman! Come on, come and see, what's wrong with my daughter?"

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Howling?"

As soon as she cried, the jailer at the door immediately ran over and asked.

"My cicada was fine just now, but after being whipped by you, she became a little listless, no, she stopped breathing after a while, sir, you have to give me an explanation !..."

The second aunt cried loudly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The jailer was startled when he heard the words. Although the two men were said to be death row prisoners, abuse of lynching is also a crime. Therefore, he still felt a little guilty.

I said angrily.

After speaking, he opened the cell door, stretched out his hand and probed under Zhu Zichan's nose, and sure enough he was not breathing.

This shock frightened him a lot, but within a short while, he shouted loudly:

"This female prisoner died of a serious illness, but you, a woman, came here to spew blood. If you dare to talk nonsense again, her fate will be yours!"

Hearing the words, Second Aunt pretended to be scared, and stepped aside, but began to cry.

The jailer didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said to the outside:

"Brother, a prisoner died here, come and help!"

"Oh, good!"

Hearing the words, the jailer at the door hurried over, and the two rolled Zhu Zichan up with a broken mat, and carried them outside...

Second Aunt watched Zhu Zichan leave for a while, like a statue, without moving.

The next day was the day when the second aunt was beheaded. Zhu Ziyi came to Dongli Garden early in the morning.

"Zixin, do you want to go and see how that wicked woman got her decapitated body?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Ziyi asked Zhu Zixin.

"I still won't go! I already sent their mother and daughter off yesterday."

Zhu Zixin said.

"Oh, if you don't go, I won't go either."

Zhu Ziyi heard the words, nodded, and said:

"Girls, look at that, I'm a little scared!"

Zhu Zixin smiled at him, but did not answer.

"Miss, ma'am..."

At this time, Xiaocui came back from the outside, screaming all the way.

"what happened?"

Zhu Zixin asked.

"I heard that Zhu Zichan suddenly fell ill and died in the cell yesterday! The second aunt was beheaded today! This servant just felt that something was wrong at this time, so I came back to tell you."

"What? Sudden illness and death? Is there such a thing? Where is the body, does anyone know?"

Zhu Zixin asked.

"I heard that he was carried to a random graveyard outside the city overnight!"

Xiao Cui said.

"Go, have a look."

Zhu Zixin felt a little strange when he heard the words, and hurried to the door, saying.

"Zixin, I'll go with you."

Zhu Ziyi followed behind her, talking as he walked.

"it is good!"

Zhu Zixin nodded.

"I'll go as well."

Behind him, Colin hurriedly followed and said.He speaks well in the Central Plains now.It sounds weird, but it's not bad.

"it is good!"

Zhu Zixin then nodded.

Coming back this time, Zhu Jing was much more tolerant to her. Firstly, because her status is not only that of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but also has an additional status, that is, Princess Yihe, who is on an equal footing with Zhu Jing's prepared Marquis. Secondly, now that Zhu Jing has figured everything out, he owes her a lot in his heart, so he naturally treats her much better than before.

A few people went out, hurried on their horses, and soon arrived at the random graveyard in the suburbs.

It was a mass grave that occupied a large area, and the burials were all unclaimed and headless corpses, so it was very desolate.

Due to the overgrown weeds and dense trees, as soon as you walk in, you can feel the temperature suddenly drop.

After they walked a few steps, Zhu Zixin tripped over something and nearly fell down. When he looked down, it turned out to be a skeleton!
Startled, she took a few steps back.

It seems that this place is indeed like a place where the dead are often thrown in the prison.

Looking around, Zhu Zixin found that the place is still very big, so he said to everyone:

"Everyone split up to find!"

After speaking, she headed east first.

Ke Lin and Zhu Ziyi went west and north.

However, after searching for a long time, Zhu Zixin never saw Zhu Zichan's body.

At this time, Zhu Ziyi ran over from the other side and said:

"no!"

After a while, Colin also ran over and said:
"No."

"In this way, there must be something strange about this matter!"

Zhu Zixin thought for a while and said.

"You mean, someone saved Zhu Zichan?"

Zhu Ziyi was puzzled.

"It's possible! But, who has such a great ability to rescue someone from the death row? Why, the rumors also say, is she dead?"

Zhu Zixin nodded, but also felt that there were some things he couldn't figure out, so he said.

"Perhaps the corpse was taken away by wild beasts!"

At this time, Zhu Ziyi said.

Zhu Zixin neither denied nor agreed, but walked out thoughtfully.

As soon as he returned to Dongli Garden, he saw Nan Gongxi sitting at the stone table in the yard drinking tea uninvited.

I saw him wearing thick black clothes, with a tall and tall figure, sitting there holding a cup of tea, he was so handsome that he was not like a human being.Zhu Zixin blushed for some reason.

"Miss, you are back!"

Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaocui found Zhu Zixin, and ran to her from Nangongxi's side and said.

"Well, Your Royal Highness, you are here!"

Zhu Zixin nodded, calmed his thoughts, and came over to greet him.

"Zixin, I really can't do anything about you. I told you not to call me that, but you just don't listen."

Nangong Xi said.

"Heh... Even so, this is the capital city, so you should be careful when you speak. If someone with a heart thinks that I'm disrespectful to you, if it is heard by someone with a heart, you will be taken advantage of again!"

Zhu Zixin smiled slightly.

"Make a fuss out of a molehill! Who else in the Marquis Mansion will oppose you?"

Nangong Xi disagreed.

"That's right, those who opposed me were beheaded today! But, does His Royal Highness know about Zhu Zichan's sudden death last night?"

Zhu Zixin asked.

"Ah."

Nangong Xi nodded and continued:
"I heard! I think she committed suicide because she couldn't think about it."

"The prince thinks so too?"

Zhu Zixin asked.

"if not?"

Nangong Xi asked back.

"I heard that her body was thrown into a mass grave in the suburbs, so I went to look for it, but I couldn't find it."

Zhu Zixin said.

"This……"

After thinking about it, Nangong Xi said:

"Maybe it was taken away by something. You know, that place is so desolate. It is very possible that there are a few wolves, leopards and so on!"

"Now that you have said so, what can I say, I hope!"

Zhu Zixin nodded and said, but still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Okay, don't you even ask why I came to you?"

At this time, Nangong Xi stood up and asked.

"Huh? Why?"

Zhu Zixin looked up at him, with some doubts in his heart, when did the prince come to her because of something?
However, upon seeing this, he couldn't help being confused by the light in his eyes, and turned his head away hastily, Zhu Zixin didn't know when to go, so he didn't dare to meet his gaze.
