Since the princess died, there was no need to reconcile, and the grand reception ceremony ended hastily.
According to the description of the guards, the princess originally went in to dress up and prepare for the audience, but for some reason she did not come out for an hour. There was no sound in the room, and no one answered the door. Everyone immediately realized that something was wrong and rushed in.
However, it was too late. The princess had been lying in a pool of blood and died for a long time. Her death was extremely miserable, her neck was almost cut off, and her once beautiful face was mutilated with blood and flesh.
Dahonglu Temple Minister in charge of the diplomatic corps said in disbelief: "How is this possible! The embassy is guarded by the Forbidden Army, and they are on duty for 12 hours without blinking an eye. Not to mention assassins, even mosquitoes fly. Don’t let one in!”
He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you hear anything while you were standing outside?"
The accompanying guard shook his head: "There's no movement at all!"
Minister of Honglu Temple: "Where are the maids serving there?"
Guard: "When we entered, those maids had already been beaten unconscious and fell to the ground."
[Hey, if you only kill the princess but not the maid, is this because you have a personal grudge against the princess? 】
Zhong Liyan said angrily: "Hey, then this assassin is quite kind."
The envoy who had been worried felt something was wrong when he heard this: "My lord, what do you mean by this?!"
Zhong Liyan glanced at him and said: "According to the imperial guards guarding the embassy, from the time you entered the embassy, there were no other people inside.
"And since your princess entered that room this morning, the doors and windows have not been opened from beginning to end! Tell me where the assassin got in? Could it be that he turned into a mosquito and flew in?
"In addition, the assassin only killed the princess and not the maid. Isn't the truth obvious? This is a farce directed and performed by you! Why not kill the maid, because the maid is the murderer!
"It's hard to kill him, so I pretended to knock him out!"
The envoy's eyes almost popped out when he heard what Zhong Liyan said. He was so angry that he yelled several times, and then said: "Absurd! It's absolutely ridiculous! Then tell me why we do this!"
Zhong Liyan: "How do I know what medicine you sell in your gourd! What should I do if I have a bad stomach?"
The envoy of Dai Viet was almost angry to death by these words. He pointed at Zhong Liyan and said, "You fart!"
Zhong Liyan snorted coldly: "You start to curse people when you can't produce any evidence. Your country's envoy really opened my eyes!"
Dai Viet envoy: "You!!!"
"You are such a slanderer!!!"
Zhong Liyan: "Do you dare to swear that you didn't have any other thoughts in sending the princess to you!?"
This question was caught off guard, and the Dai Viet envoy felt guilty for a moment. He was embarrassed and wanted to hide it, but everyone had already seen it.
[Hey, it turns out that he really has evil intentions! 】
Zhong Liyan: "As expected! I knew you had bad intentions, but now that the plan has been discovered, you still haven't resorted to it!!!"
The Dai Viet envoy gritted his teeth, seeing that nothing he could say at this moment would help, and finally told the whole story.
It turns out that when Dai Viet came this time, in addition to paying tribute, he also had a special request, that is, he wanted Chu Moyuan to help them arrest a wanted person.
[...joint law enforcement? 】
Coincidentally, the princess they brought this time was this man's sister.
After listening to his explanation, everyone said: "..."
Zhong Liyan: “This is simply unreasonable!!!”
Envoy: "..."
He knew he was in the wrong, so he no longer talked back to Zhong Liyan, but said: "To be honest with His Majesty the Emperor, that man is the son of Prince Qi Le of our country. He wanted to be executed for committing a serious crime, but unexpectedly he escaped from prison and ran away on the day of execution." Got it!
"My king was furious, but after searching all over the country, he could not be found. Finally, we found out that he had actually come to Daliang..."
The envoy couldn't raise his head in embarrassment, and then said: "In taking the daughter of Prince Qi Le as the princess, I did have some thoughts to lure the sinner out, but she is indeed the most beautiful woman in Dai Viet! This point The envoy did not lie!"
【Prince Qile...】
[Isn’t that the hero’s father? ? ? 】
[Is the male protagonist you want? ? ? 】
Shen Zhizhi was dumbfounded, feeling that she could no longer understand the plot. The male protagonist in the book was obviously the most favored prince in Dai Viet, so why did everything turn out the other way around in the end? ? ?
However, before Shen Zhizhi had finished being confused, the envoy presented a portrait and said, "The name of the person in this painting is Wei Shengye, and he is the son of Prince Qile that the envoy just mentioned."
【……】
Shen Zhizhi fell silent because the male lead was called Wei Shengyu.
She later realized that she might have misunderstood. When she heard about Prince Qi Le, she subconsciously thought that he only had one son, the male protagonist. But in fact, in addition to the prince's low reputation, he should have many sons, but in the book It's just not mentioned...
Since it's not mentioned in the book... he should be a cannon fodder or a passerby, right?
Shen Zhizhi groaned, then lowered her head to look at the unfolded portrait of her uncle, and then saw a face that was as beautiful as a country.
Shen Zhizhi: "..."
She took back what she just said, with such an indistinguishable androgynous beautiful face, she was definitely not a cannon fodder passerby!
At this moment, Shen Zhizhi's desire to see the male protagonist reached its peak.
Just one of his younger brothers is so good-looking, and his sister...oh no, it’s his younger brother who is also the most beautiful woman in Dai Viet, so how good-looking does the male protagonist have to be?
However, the next moment, Shen Zhizhi's face fell. Alas, it's useless no matter how good-looking she is, she is a bad person.
After the Dai Viet envoy explained the whole story clearly, the suspicion was indeed reduced a lot, but Zhong Liyan still had a bad look on him.
At this time, the results of the autopsy came out.
The deceased was a female, aged approximately 14 to 18 years old. The time of death was initially determined to be at noon yesterday.
"This, this, this, how is this possible!"
When the envoy from Dai Viet heard that Zuo said that the death time of the deceased was initially determined to be yesterday at noon, he was completely frightened.
"The princess was clearly alive and well at noon yesterday! I clearly saw the princess this morning! Could it be that she saw a ghost!?"
【……? 】
[How dare their emperor send him out with such a brain? 】
Shen Zhizhi was extremely confused.
[It’s not even said that the gender of the corpse is female. Even if the gender of the corpse is male like your princess, it died yesterday, and your princess is still alive today. Doesn’t that mean that this is not your princess? 】
[What’s more, the body was disfigured! 】
[How on earth did you come to this damn conclusion! 】
At this time, the envoy also came back to his senses and trembled: "Is it possible... that the deceased is not our princess?"
