Chapter 440: Remembering some childhood events

Upon hearing these words, Taifu Lu said angrily: "Quickly, hold her down, seal her mouth, and don't allow her to speak anymore."

Qinglongwei and Ape rushed in and were about to hold her down, but saw Princess Qing raising the dagger and stabbing her in the heart.

There was a ferocious smile on her face. After she fell to the ground, her ferocious face turned into horror. She tried hard to hold her head up to see the sharp pain coming from her chest.

"Help...save me, save me." She stretched out her hand towards Ape, and the horror of dying enveloped her. The blindness was gone, and everything she felt and saw was real.

Blood seeped out, quickly turning his clothes red. The sour stench all over his body was mixed with the fishy smell of blood. The pupils of his wide-open eyes began to dilate, and gradually, his breathing stopped.

Taifu Lu and two officials were watching this scene outside. Although they found it strange, Princess Qing might have gone crazy early. Otherwise, why would she have acted so weirdly and viciously during these days?

Taifu Lu calmed down and said to the two officials: "Except for what I saw and heard today, except for the imperial statement, not a single word is allowed to be revealed to the outside world. Do you understand?"

The two officials were obviously frightened. After listening to Taifu's stern instructions, they nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I understand."

Tai Fu Lu said to A Pei: "I have completed the investigation. Please report back to the Crown Princess. The matter will be reported to the Holy Majesty truthfully."

"Thank you!" Appei watched them leave. After that, he searched for the seal from Princess Qing, then picked up her finger and pressed her fingerprint on a piece of white paper.

The Crown Princess said that what was promised to Lu Liangyuan must always be fulfilled.

She went back to report to the Crown Princess first, leaving the Qinglong Guard to deal with Princess Qing's funeral.

Leng Xiao asked her to quickly send He Lishu out of the palace and into the hands of Lin Zimo, so that he could make it public immediately before the news of Princess Qing's death came out.

In any case, the emperor would definitely not announce the suicide of Princess Qing to the public right away. He would probably order someone to suppress the news and only tell the public that she was ill and that she would die after being "sick" for a few days. Everything was natural.

Taifu Lu took the two investigating officials to the imperial study room to meet him.

Everything that happened in Cai Ling Palace, including what Princess Qing said before she committed suicide, Taifu Lu reported every word truthfully.

After the emperor heard this, his face became extremely scary and fierce. He had treated them sincerely, but he didn't expect that they would not be treated the same way at all. Before they died, mother and daughter only complained about his fault.

After a moment of silence, the emperor ordered as Leng Xiao expected, announcing that Princess Qing was seriously ill.

Taifu Lu asked: "Since the murder of the prince was revealed in the morning, will it be announced truthfully?"

The emperor said with a gloomy face: "She said that she originally wanted to kill the crown prince, but unexpectedly the prince accidentally ate it."

"Yes!" Master Lu followed the order and led the officials to exit.

The crime of murdering the crown princess is different from that of murdering the prince. He can't let the world know that the daughter he raised has the intention to murder the prince.

But even murdering the crown princess is enough to prevent her from receiving the honor of a princess after her death.

Nangong Yitian didn't know about Princess Qing's suicide until he returned to Zhanyue Residence. He paused for a moment and didn't say anything.

Leng Xiao looked at his face and said, "Remember what happened when you were a teenager?"

Nangong Yitian reached out and hugged her, "Some memories suddenly flashed through, but they are not important. People change when they change."

"She had to die, and you know why."

"I know." Nangong Yitian reached out and stroked her hair, hugged her tighter and tried not to touch her abdomen, "I was also wrong about what happened back then."
