203 The Cause of Shen Heng’s Death
Yin Ling had a huge reaction, but Nie Yin only sized up Shen Heng’s corpse, which had already stood up, calmly.

Yin Ling tried his best to adjust his breathing so that he didn’t look too panicked.

Even Yin Ling, who had seen many bloody and eerie scenes, had never seen such a scene before!

Fortunately, Shen Heng didn’t have many hideous wounds on his body when he died and looked like he had died in his sleep.

However, compared to the first day they discovered the corpse, Shen Heng’s entire body was much redder, and he looked extremely terrifying.

If a person who had been dead for a few days suddenly stood up, any normal person would be shocked!

Yin Ling tried his best to compose himself, but his gaze was fixed on Nie Yin’s back.

What exactly did Nie Yin do?

What was he planning to do?

Nie Yin suddenly stared at a spot on Shen Heng’s body and moved the porcelain bottle forward.

Before Yin Ling could react, a red shadow darted out of Shen Heng’s open mouth.

The red shadow instantly disappeared into the porcelain bottle.

“What, what is that?” Yin Ling tried his best to suppress his surprise, but he couldn’t help but stutter.

Nie Yin didn’t respond. Instead, he took out a small bag of powder and poured it into the porcelain bottle.

After a while, the porcelain bottle immediately emitted a faint pink smoke.

The pungent smell of the smoke made Yin Ling cover his mouth and nose.

It wasn’t until the smoke gradually disappeared that Nie Yin poured out the contents of the porcelain bottle.

Yin Ling immediately went forward to see what was in the porcelain bottle.

Nie Yin didn’t hide it from Yin Ling as he poured the item on a piece of white cloth.

A charred piece the size of a finger was poured out. The moment the thing was poured out, it emitted a faint fragrance.

“What is this?” Yin Ling couldn’t help but ask.

Nie Yin took a small branch from the potted plant on the table and fiddled with it as he replied, “This insect’s name is Chi Mo and it feeds on the Nie family’s special Gu poison. This insect likes to eat all sorts of poisonous things and the more poisonous something is, the more excited it will be.”

“This charred thing is the black bug from just now?” Yin Ling frowned at it with disgust.

“Yes! It smelled the remaining poison on Shen Heng’s body, so it was very excited,” Nie Yin continued.

“Are you saying that Shen Heng was poisoned to death?”

“Then he must have consumed poison after killing the Princess!” Yin Ling said firmly.

Nie Yin frowned tightly with a strange expression.

“Why did you kill this insect just now?” Yin Ling stared at the charred insect. Thinking of the insect’s previous appearance, he felt even more disgusted.

Nie Yin pursed his lips. He didn’t answer Yin Ling’s question and only asked, “Where’s the princess’s corpse? I want to see the princess’s corpse!”

“The queen won’t allow it!” Yin Ling replied without thinking.

Nie Yin ignored Yin Ling and walked out quickly.

After Yin Ling turned around and glanced at Shen Heng’s corpse, which was still standing on the spot, he couldn’t help but shiver and immediately followed Nie Yin out.

Nie Yin was very nervous.

Obviously, Shen Heng had died from the poison he had poisoned Wen Qiong with.

However, Shen Heng had already consumed Chi Mo’s egg. Even if he was slightly poisoned, it was impossible for him to die just like that!

Unless, he consumed a large dose of poison, which would directly poison the egg and cause him to die from poisoning.

If that was the case, could it be that Wen Qiong killed Shen Heng?

Then how did Wen Qiong die?

Was Wen Qiong’s corpse also like this?

He needed to verify the cause of Wen Qiong’s death urgently and see if there were any traces left on her body.

Nie Yin walked very quickly, but because of his injuries, he staggered a few times and almost fell.

Yin Ling walked forward impatiently, grabbed Nie Yin’s arm, and helped him out of Wen Qiong’s palace.

Outside the palace, a few palace servants were waiting.

“Lord Yin Ling! Young Master Nie!” When they saw the two of them come out, the palace servants immediately bowed and greeted them.

Before the palace servants could get up, Nie Yin and Yin Ling had already disappeared in front of them.
