After Duke Dingguo finished speaking, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve and ordered the guards guarding the mourning hall, "Open the coffin."
The four guards suppressed the fear in their hearts and stepped forward to open the coffin.
The coffin was opened, and Duke Dingguo stumbled forward.
He held the coffin on his left hand and looked at his son lying quietly in the coffin with a look of grief on his face, "Son, don't worry, your father will avenge you."
Shang Tian subconsciously glanced inside the coffin, and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
Inside the coffin, the prince Dingguo, who had been dead for at least three days, still looked as if he was asleep.
"This is?"
It stands to reason that after two days of death, body spots will appear.
But the prince Dingguo, let alone the spots on his body, even his skin has not turned pale.
The lips are still bloody.
If he wasn't lying in the coffin and his chest didn't rise and fall, people would definitely think that he was asleep.
Duke Dingguo threw the small bottle in his hand to Shang Tian: "This is corpse poison. It can protect the dead body from decaying within a year."
"Open the cork and let the bug crawl into Miss Shang's mouth."
Shangtian raised his hand to catch the bottle.
Without hesitation, he gently pinched Shang Ruyan's chin, pointed the mouth of the bottle at her mouth, and opened the cork.
A fiery red, spider-like insect crawled into Shang Ruyan's mouth.
The next moment, under Shang Tian's fingertips, Shang Ruyan's slightly cool and stiff skin gradually became warm and soft.
Shangtian's eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief.
He carefully reached out his hand and touched Shang Ruyan's face.
The touch under your fingers is warm, soft and smooth.
"This..." Shang Tian looked at Duke Ding with hope.
"Corpse Gu can wake up their bodies as if they were alive." Duke Dingguo said with sad eyes, "But it can't wake them up."
Shang Tian's eyes flashed with loss and sadness, and he caressed Shang Ruyan's little face with nostalgia.
After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at Duke Dingguo, "Where is your adopted daughter?"
Hearing Shang Tian mention Su Mu Yao, the sadness in Duke Ding's eyes instantly turned to anger, "I don't know where that bitch has gone. If I find her, I will cut her into pieces!"
Shang Tian also had sinister eyes: "The poison in Yan'er's body was caused by Su Muyao!"
Duke Dingguo: "Where did that bitch learn all the poison skills? There are also poison skills, it's really hard to guard against!"
Shang Tian narrowed his eyes: "Wait until the secret ceremony between the two children is completed, and then we will try our best to find her."
Duke Dingguo nodded.
What he didn't notice was that a maid in the mansion had a weird smile in her lowered eyes when she came in with a fruit offering.
She put the offerings away, quietly retreated, and left Dingguo's mansion.
At this time, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of War and her maid came out to buy things.
She lowered her head, as if she accidentally bumped into the lady, "Ah, madam, I'm sorry..."
She apologized in a panic, and inadvertently passed her hand across the back of the hand of the Minister of War.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of War only felt an itch on the back of her hand. When she lowered her eyes and looked down, she didn't notice anything unusual.
Just pretend it was accidentally scratched by her nails.
She took a step back and said calmly, "It doesn't matter."
After saying that, he took the maid and walked aside.
Shortly after she left, the maid who came out of Duke Dingguo's mansion raised her eyes and looked at her back with a subtle smile on her lips.
She slowly lowered her eyes and glanced at her fingertips.
The figure disappeared into the crowd.
...
The next day, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of War dressed up early in the morning and took her maid into the palace.
She and Liu Wanyue are close friends. Yesterday, she received a letter from Liu Wanyue, asking her to come to the palace to taste sweet-scented osmanthus wine.
Xianqing Hall, pavilion in the lake.
Liu Wanyue poured a cup of osmanthus nectar to Madam Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "Try the osmanthus nectar recipe invented by Tang'er."
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of War took it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The third prince's concubine is really a wonderful person."
"I had the honor to meet her yesterday. She is really more beautiful than her mother. She and the Third Prince are a match made in heaven."
Mentioning Su Ruotang, Liu Wanyue's eyebrows flashed with a gentle smile, "That girl is indeed excellent."
The Minister of War had just woken up to speak when his eyes suddenly froze.
After just one breath, the look in her eyes returned.
If you look closely, the look in his eyes is cold and vicious, as if he is a different person.
She stood up with a smile and walked behind Liu Wanyue.
Liu Wanyue just thought she was going to feed the fish and turned her head away with a smile.
The next moment, there was a pain in my neck.
She looked at Madam Shangshu of the Ministry of War in disbelief and fell softly on the table.
At this time, there was no one in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Mrs. Secretary of the Ministry of War's fingertips moved from the back of Liu Wanyue's neck to her cheek.
Her movements were slightly stiff, and her expression was slightly strange, "Liu Wanyue... without His Majesty's favor, can the Liu family and the Tan family still protect Su Ruotang and Mo Ronyan?"
Her light tone, slightly stiff, quickly dissipated in the wind.
Then, she pulled down the curtain in the pavilion and left the pavilion.
When she saw the palace attendants of Xianqing Palace, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is resting in the pavilion. She asked you not to disturb her."
"When your Majesty comes, just tell him that your Majesty is in the pavilion."
"Yes, madam." Everyone in the palace knew her, and they didn't have any doubts when they heard what she said.
Mrs. Shangshu watched the palace people leave and walked in another direction.
When she passed by a young eunuch, she suddenly shouted, "Little Dengzi."
Xiao Dengzi looked at her subconsciously: "Madam, what's the matter?"
He is the apprentice of Gao Hai, the chief eunuch, and was sent by His Majesty to the Xianqing Palace to serve Concubine Wan.
He is also the eunuch supervisor of Xianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty is looking for you, come with me." Mrs. Shangshu smiled slightly and looked directly into Xiao Dengzi's eyes.
The moment he met her eyes, Xiao Dengzi's pupils shrank suddenly, "Insect..."
