Chapter 314 Damaged Corpse

Jun Jiuning was stunned for a moment before answering: "Yes."

Qiuyue waved out, and several palace maids came in with washing items to serve Jun Jiuning to get up.

Jun Jiuning still felt a little awkward after having such a long time since I enjoyed the days of having clothes to reach out and food to open my mouth.

Now that I have returned to the palace, I naturally can no longer wear the simple civilian clothes. Jun Jiuning wore a complicated palace outfit, and her head was like a flower basket, covered with gold and jade jewelry.

She turned back to the former noble princess, but this made her feel mixed.

Jun Jiuning sighed and said, "You will prepare later. I will go to pay my respects to my father. By the way, I will send someone to the prince to ask what kind of order the father had given to King Ning."

Qiuyue nodded and went out.

After Jun Jiuning had breakfast, he planned to go to Zhengtai Hall to wait for Emperor Wen to come to court. Before she could reach the door, Yunhe blew in like a gust of wind and hurriedly said to Jun Jiuning: "Princess! No! King Ning is dead in the prison!"

Jun Jiuning widened her eyes: "What did you say?!"

Yunhe wiped the sweat from his head and shouted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has passed, please go over and take a look! It is said that Your Highness Ning... was poisoned to death by Lord Mu Yun!"

Jun Jiuning's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

But she quickly realized that it was not that simple, so she shouted: "Wen Fei!"

Wen Fei flashed over and said, "What are the princess's instructions?"

Jun Jiuning pursed his lips, his expression could not hide his panic, but his emotions had stabilized, and he even had the energy to think about how to deal with it: "Go and take Tao Ran from Xie's mansion and look at King Ning's body. Mu Yun is good at poisoning and medicine. Maybe this is his plan to deceive us."

Wen Fei closed his hands together and clasped his fists and replied: "Yes!"

"Yunhe, take us over and have a look!"

Yunhe nodded: "Your Highness the Crown Prince did not allow Prince Ning's body to be moved, so he invited all the coroners from Dali Temple to have an autopsy."

Jun Jiuning said "yes" and said that he knew: "This is natural."

However, the corpse does not represent anything. She had pretended to die at the beginning. Maybe Mu Yun wanted to use this trick to deceive them, but in fact he was conspiring to do something secretly.

Jun Jiuning sat in a sedan chair, urging him to hurry up while sorting out the whole thing in his mind.

It’s so strange that Mu Yun suddenly came back this time. What exactly did he want to do?!

But when Jun Jiuning arrived at the prison, Jun Qingli and Mu Yun were already outside the gate of the cell.

Jun Qingli looked unlucky, while Mu Yun still looked faint, and he could not see any impact on him by King Ning's death.

Jun Jiuning quickly got out of the sedan chair and asked, "Why are you out? Where is Uncle Wang Ning's body?"

Jun Qingli frowned and said, "I just got a coroner and the body of Uncle Ning Wang... exploded."

Jun Jiuning widened her eyes in surprise, and then she realized that whether it was the master or the slave present, there was more or less blood on her body.

"Why is this happening?!" Jun Jiuning asked quickly, "Are you injured?"

Jun Qingli shook his head with a slow expression: "I'm fine, but his body was blown up strangely, and the coroner couldn't tell why he exploded. Judging from the traces on the scene, no one could find that gunpowder was placed in his body."

The people around him looked a little disappointed and uneasy.

Jun Jiuning looked around and suddenly asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"

She stared at a palace maid and asked, "You said, why do you look at me like this?"

The palace maid fought with her two stern fights, and when she asked her sternly, she immediately knelt down: "I... I just heard that King Ning called for an injustice all night last night, and was so angry that she exploded during the coroner's autopsy..."

"Absurd!" Jun Qingli suddenly angrily rebuked, "The matter has not been found out yet, you dare to talk nonsense!"

Jun Jiuning looked cold, "Isn't it clear? Didn't it be said that King Ning was poisoned to death? Didn't someone visit King Ning last night?"

Mu Yun glanced at her and explained to herself: "Your Highness the Princess is a clear example. I did come to advise King Ning last night on the order of the emperor, and I did bring some food to King Ning, but King Ning did not eat it. Although I was indeed the last person to see King Ning, I would be conspiring to murder the royal family... I cannot bear this guilt."

Jun Jiuning sneered: "Whether you did is not something you can explain clearly with just a touch of your mouth! Please detain him for me first!"

At this time, the prison head suddenly stood up and said, "Princess, the emperor had an order last night. Lord Mu did come with the order, and-"

His voice suddenly lowered a little: "The emperor said, please don't make things difficult for Lord Mu."

"What?!" Jun Jiuning raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Jun Qingli.

Jun Qingli pressed Jun Jiuning's shoulder with one hand, and when she turned around, she shook her head at Jun Jiuning, signaling her not to be impatient.

"We can ask our father again in the future."

Mu Yun smiled and bowed, saying, "I should not stay here for too long. I should say goodbye to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess first, and go to Zhengtai Hall to report to the emperor."

After saying that, he wanted to walk out, but Jun Qingli reached out to stop him.

The two met with eyes, and Jun Qingli narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mu Yun, with suspicion and warning in his expression: "King Ning had a very good personal relationship with Lord Mu before, but why is his body gone now? No tears are shed by Lord Mu."

Mu Yun slowly and firmly pushed away the hand that was blocking him in front of him, and smiled: "Your Highness, the man will not cry easily, let alone the fact that King Ning plots to rebel. I will not be unable to distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and treacherous."

Jun Jiuning looked at his far away back and frowned and said, "Qingli, is your father trying to protect him?"

Jun Qingli's face looked ugly, and she had guessed the reason why Emperor Wen did this: "My father asked Mu Yun to take action, but he did it so hard that he could not find any traces. It seemed that he would never suffer from the future, but in fact it caused countless troubles!"

Jun Jiuning also said strangely: "Father is not so anxious, but so reckless..."

Jun Qingli pulled her wrist and hurried towards the direction of Zhengtai Hall: "I have an ominous premonition."

Jun Jiuning was staggered by him, barely stood firm and followed his steps: "What's wrong?"

Jun Qingli looked at the stacked palace walls and the winding palace roads in front of him and whispered: "I have reminded my father a long time ago that Mu Yun must not be trusted. My father must have listened to it, but judging from his words and deeds yesterday, he still seems to value Mu Yun very much. There must be something strange about this."
