Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 380

Emperor Ning smiled again. "Well, well, shang'er, I haven't rewarded you enough. You are going to move the imperial palace to your mansion, and there is no reward for you now. I'll owe you one, and you can ask me for anything you want when you get something."

"That would be great. Thank you, father" Yun Shang squinted her eyes and smiled. When she turned around, she saw Jing Kui standing in the hall. Next to him was a young man with a good-looking face. The man was surprised to see her, but he quickly put it away.

"The grand councilor Jing must have known that you have met the assassins, so he came here specially to inquire about you." Yun Shang smiled, but didn't plan to leave.

Seeing that emperor Ning didn't blame her, the imperial commander thought for a moment and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, we found something in the grand councilor's mansion... It is Meng Jieyu's corpse."

Emperor Ning's hand holding the chessboard paused, but he didn't say anything. He slowly separated the chess pieces from the chessboard and put it into the jars.

Yun Shang seemed to be surprised. "Meng Jieyu's body? Didn't Meng Jieyu kill herself in the palace? Why was the body in Grand councilor Jing's mansion? Where did you find it?"

The imperial commander took another careful look at emperor Ning and answered, "Your highness, we found it in the wall in Mister Jing's yard." Emperor Ning nodded his head slightly, "did you call someone to make an autopsy of the corpse? Are you sure it's Meng Jieyu's corpse? "

The imperial commander instantly answered, "I'm in a hurry to report, so I've told the other master to keep watch on the coroner and let him examine the body. I'm sure it won't be long before we get the result."

Emperor Ning nodded his head, "Okay, so let's wait and see." But he didn't let anyone give Jing Kui a seat. Jing Kui's face turned even paler, and he said softly, "Your Majesty, someone is wronging me this time. I also have no idea why Meng Jieyu's body was in the grand councilor's mansion."

After putting all the chess pieces away, Emperor Ning calmly took the handkerchief from master Zheng and wiped his hands then said. "Whether you are wronged or what, we'll soon know the result."

About half an hour later, the leader of the imperial city's guard team came in and reported gently, "Your Majesty, the coroner has identified the body. She was indeed Meng Jieyu. Besides, Meng Jieyu had been pregnant for about two months when she died."

Emperor Ning nodded his head. He turned to look at Jing Kui. After looking at him for a long time, he said, "after Meng Jieyu died a few days ago, I had someone to search her room, and I found something in the palace where she lived. Lord Zheng, bring it to the grand Councilor Jing and Mr. Jing to have a look."
