Chapter 480 She's Dead

"Nanshi!"

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked and angry: "Chu Yanluo, let her go!"

Chu Yanluo shouted, "Back off! If you take another step forward, I will kill her now!"

"Okay, I won't go forward. You take the scissors away first! She's bleeding a lot. She's going to die!"

"You only saw her bleeding, right? You couldn't see me bleeding?"

Chu Yanluo sneered: "Give me the antidote!"

"Let Nanshi go first!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? After you let Liu Nanshi go, will you still save me? You wish I would die! Give me the antidote, quickly!"

As Chu Yanluo spoke, he stabbed Liu Nanshi again.

Liu Nanshi screamed in pain: "Give it to her quickly!"

Xiao Qingyuan felt so distressed that he did not hesitate any longer. He took out a medicine bottle and threw it at Chu Yanluo.

Chu Yanluo took the medicine bottle, opened it, tilted his head back and poured the medicine into his mouth.

But before she could swallow it, Xiao Qingyuan rushed over, snatched the scissors from her hand, and stabbed them hard into her neck.

"Ho-"

Chu Yanluo covered his neck and made a painful sound.

She looked at Xiao Qingyuan in disbelief: "You...you are so cruel..."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her with disgust in his eyes: "You deserve to die for daring to touch Nan Shi! To tell you the truth, I don't have the antidote at all. The antidote is in Qingxi's hands. The medicine I gave you just now is also poison!"

Chu Yanluo already felt the severe pain coming from his internal organs, this pain even overwhelmed the pain in his neck.

She looked at Xiao Qingyuan with resentment: "I was already poisoned, and you still wanted to poison me! Two kinds of poisons are enough to kill me, but you still stabbed me. It shows how much you want me to die. I am really... blind to fall for you!"

"I was blind and was deceived by a vicious woman like you! Fortunately, I woke up in time."

After Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, he picked up Liu Nanshi, walked down the bridge without looking back, and left.

Chu Yanluo's vision had become very blurry. She was filled with hatred, but it was of no avail.

Xiao Qingyuan was determined to let her die, and she had no way to survive.

She died on this bridge in her previous life, and in this life, she died on this bridge again. Is this place her curse?

The night passed.

The next day, the rain stopped.

The rising sun illuminates the entire earth. The air after the rain is particularly fresh, and even the leaves are washed to be exceptionally bright and green.

Shen Wantang was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Dujuan and Qiyu were combing her hair, while Shuxiang was carefully drawing her eyebrows and applying black eyebrow paint.

Qin Xin walked in quickly from outside: "Crown Princess!"

"what happened?"

"Aunt Chu is dead!"

Shen Wantang was startled, and the maids all stopped moving. They all turned around and looked at Qin Xin in shock: "What?! How could it be..."

Qin Xin said very quickly: "Mrs. Chu was found dead on the bridge early this morning, bleeding from all seven orifices, with a hole in her neck!"

"After someone reported the case to the authorities, the government sent a coroner to perform an autopsy. They said that Aunt Chu was poisoned by two kinds of poisons. One was the chronic poison, the blood-sucking vine, and the other was the deadly poison, which could kill people instantly!"

"Then the coroner also said that the wound on Aunt Chu's neck was also fatal. Even without those two poisons, she would have died!"

Du Juan and the others felt their scalps tingling after hearing this and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Du Juan frowned: "How many people did Aunt Chu offend? Why did three people kill her?"

Qi Yu pondered: "It may not be three people, maybe more, maybe less."

Shuxiang's face turned slightly pale. "Although she deserved it, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly heard that she died so tragically. Who would hate her so much? Was it the Yu family who did it?"

Shen Wantang was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained her composure: "It shouldn't be the Yu family. If the Yu family caught her, they would just send her to jail. They wouldn't do it themselves and get involved in a murder case for nothing."

The Yu family is about to have a crown princess, and they cannot kill anyone at this time, because what the crown prince wants is an obedient dog, not an executioner.

Qin Xin added, "Princess, I have heard a little piece of news."

Shen Wantang was very interested: "What gossip?"

"I heard that Miss Liu disappeared for a while last night, and was injured when she returned home. However, the Liu family kept this matter a secret, and the door has been closed today, and no outsiders are allowed to visit. If the Liu family had not sent someone to look for Miss Liu last night and was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, this gossip would probably not have been spread!"

After Shen Wantang heard this, she had a rough guess in her mind. She asked Qin Xin, "Where is the prince? Is he in the mansion?"

"He's not here. He went out last night and hasn't come back yet."

Shen Wantang nodded. Now she was sure that Chu Yanluo’s death must be related to Xiao Qingyuan and Liu Nanshi.

What a pity. She thought that if she let Chu Yanluo go, she could still torment Xiao Qingyuan, but she didn't expect that she would be killed so soon.

The poison in Chu Yanluo's body had probably been injected long ago, but she didn't notice it. If the dosage of the blood-sucking vine was small, there would be no symptoms within five days, and the nosebleed would only start after five days.

Just as Shen Wantang was thinking, Madam Chai hurried in and said, "Princess, Lord Lu from the Ministry of Justice is here. He wants to ask you something about Concubine Chu."

Seeing her tense face, Shen Wantang couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Chu was originally the prince's concubine. I am the mistress of the house. It is normal for her to ask me questions after she died. I think it is just a routine matter for Lord Lu. Don't be nervous."

"Yes."

After Shen Wantang had packed up, she went to the flower hall in the front yard and met Lu Qiying.

"Lord Lu."

"Lu has met the Crown Princess."

"Master Lu, you are too polite. Please take a seat. Dujuan, serve the tea."

Dujuan immediately went to pour tea for Lu Qiying.

Lu Qiying didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Princess, we are already acquaintances, so I'll be frank. I came here this time because of the murder of Chu Yanluo."

"Yes, I have heard about her story, Lord Lu, please feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

"Then I will respectfully obey your orders."

Lu Qiying coughed lightly, his expression becoming serious: "How is the relationship between the Crown Prince's Consort and Chu Yanluo? Are they jealous of each other?"

"I am the wife and she is the concubine. Our relationship is just like the most common one between a mistress and a concubine. We live under the same roof and sometimes there are frictions. But I don't bother to be jealous."

"I heard that Chu Yanluo held the Crown Prince's Consort hostage yesterday?"

"Yes."

"The wound on the Crown Princess' neck was caused by Chu Yanluo?"

"Yes."

"Does the Crown Prince know that Chu Yanluo was stabbed in the neck with scissors before she died?"

"heard."

"Then the Crown Prince's Consort, do you know that the location of the wound on Chu Yanluo's neck is exactly the same as the Crown Prince's Consort's! This can't be a coincidence, right?"
