204 The Cause of the princess’s Death
“Queen, there’s something fishy about Shen Heng’s death. Please allow me to check the princess’s… corpse!” Nie Yin said after a pause.

When the queen heard Nie Yin’s words, her expression darkened. “Nie Yin, don’t think you can still be so bold and presumptuous in front of me now!”

Nie Yin didn’t want to explain further. It was more important to confirm if Wen Qiong’s corpse was as he had expected.

“Queen, this matter concerns the true cause of the princess’s death! Please allow it!” Nie Yin bowed and begged sincerely.

The queen’s expression changed slightly, as if she was hesitating about something.

The moment she discovered the princess’s death, the queen gathered all the Spiritual Doctors in the palace to investigate the princess’s death.

However, none of those trash could find the real cause of her death.

In order to prevent the matter from being leaked, she temporarily locked those Spiritual Doctors in the palace.

After she sent someone to the Nie family to summon Nie Yin to the palace and found out that Nie Yin had been out for a few days and had not returned to the residence, this deepened her suspicion that Nie Yin had plotted to harm Wen Qiong.

Because of this, as soon as she heard that Nie Yin had returned to the residence, she was in a hurry to summon him.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Nie Yin’s weak appearance, the queen suspected that the murderer was actually someone else!

It had been a few days since the incident happened, but despite being filled with anger, she actually didn’t know who to take revenge on!

The more indignant the queen was, the more she wanted to vent her anger.

Finally, she grabbed the handle of the chair fiercely and shouted, “I can give you a day to tell me who the murderer is!”

After obtaining the queen’s approval, Nie Yin immediately followed the palace servants’ guidance to the place where the corpse was stored.

Wen Qiong’s corpse was placed in a huge igloo.

When he was a few meters away from the igloo, he could already feel the bone-chilling coldness.

Nie Yin was already injured, and the coldness was so intense that he could barely breathe.

Yin Ling, who had been instructed by the queen to follow Nie Yin closely, sneered when he saw this. “Young Master Nie, seems like your body really can’t take it anymore!”

Ignoring Yin Ling’s sarcasm, Nie Yin tried his best to suppress the invasion of the cold air.

After the palace servant led Nie Yin outside the igloo, he immediately bowed before leaving.

As Nie Yin glanced at the huge stone door in front of him, he didn’t bother pretending anymore and said to Yin Ling, “Yin Ling, please open this stone door.”

After Yin Ling glanced at Nie Yin silently, he pushed the stone door with one hand.

The huge stone door creaked and slowly opened.

Yin Ling turned around and gestured for Nie Yin to walk in.

A cold air rushed out of the igloo through the crack in the door, making Nie Yin shiver.

Nie Yin immediately took out a porcelain bottle and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Then, his face gradually turned red, and his disheveled appearance from the cold disappeared.

Yin Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn’t say anything.

Nie Yin walked past Yin Ling and strode into the igloo.

Perhaps because the temperature in the igloo was too low, the strong smell of blood was concealed and didn’t permeate outside.

However, when he walked into the igloo, the thick stench immediately entered Nie Yin’s nose.

He frowned as he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve before quickly walking to Wen Qiong’s corpse.

Wen Qiong was lying in an ice coffin, surrounded by artifacts made of ice.

Her corpse showed no signs of decay, but her bluish-pale skin showed that there was almost no blood left in her body.

Nie Yin approached Wen Qiong’s corpse and bent down. Just as he was about to reach out to touch the corpse, Yin Ling grabbed his arm.

“What are you doing?” Yin Ling asked coldly, his expression filled with vigilance.

Nie Yin slowly straightened up and shook off Yin Ling’s hand. “The queen allowed me to investigate the cause of the princess’s death. Do you have any objections?”

Yin Ling’s expression turned even colder. “The queen allowed you to investigate the cause of the princess’s death, but she didn’t allow you to desecrate the princess’s body!”

Nie Yin gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to kick the bastard in front of him away.

“How can I find out the cause of death without checking her body?” Nie Yin was also angry. “Or are you afraid that I’ll find out about something?”
