Chapter 286 Tuoba Jun Appears

"Is this true? I'll go over and take a look now."

After hearing the servant's report, Song Qingwan immediately stood up and rushed to Song Changwei and Zhong Xuemei's home.

Chunya did mention the matter of asking the Zhong family for Lanxiang to be given to her by the family, and Song Qingwan did take it to heart.

She had planned to go to the Zhong Mansion to negotiate with Grand Tutor Zhong after the emperor's funeral was over, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen before she could take action.

Song Qingwan and Chunya hurried out of the palace. At this time, Song Changwei was already waiting at the door. When he saw Song Qingwan coming, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Master, you are here."

"Where is the body?"

"It's in the backyard. Changwei will take you to see it right away."

"move!"

The group went straight to the backyard, where Zhong Xuemei was sitting on the ground crying.

Lanxiang grew up with her since childhood. She was a maid chosen by her mother herself when she was still alive. The two were master and servant in name, but in reality they were as close as sisters.

Zhong Xuemei thought that she had escaped from the Zhong family, and the next step would be to take Lanxiang in, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was a cold corpse.

"You guys please invite the lady inside. It's too bloody here."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servants came forward and helped Zhong Xuemei up, almost half-carrying her back to her bedroom.

Song Changwei looked at his weak wife with concern. He wanted to follow her to take care of her, but he had to stop.

"Master, can you tell the cause of death?"

"It needs to be carefully examined. Just find a room and carry the body in. I won't need you to do anything else."

"Yes, master."

Song Changwei took charge personally and led two servants to carry the wooden box into the nearest room, and Song Qingwan followed in.

"Okay, put it here and you guys can get out."

"Can you... do this alone?"

"It's okay, don't go too far, I'll call you if there's anything."

"Yes, Changwei understands."

After receiving the order, Song Changwei bowed and retreated, closing the door. At this time, only Song Qingwan was left in the room.

Chunya stood guard outside the door to prevent others from entering and disturbing them, while Song Changwei quickly walked towards Zhong Xuemei's bedroom to comfort his wife.

Song Qingwan first took a pair of scissors and cut off the clothes of the corpse. She found that Lanxiang had no external injuries on her body, but there were some very unusual bruises on her skin, which were very scary.

"Is this girl talking about internal injuries? But what kind of person can beat a person to death without leaving any external injuries?"

Song Qingwan felt very puzzled. She was very sure that the girl had either died of poisoning or been beaten to death.

But if an ordinary person beats another living person to death, there will be more or less external injuries, so it can be concluded that the person who killed Lanxiang was not an ordinary person, but someone with martial arts skills, and should have very powerful internal strength.

Song Qingwan doesn't know martial arts, so naturally she doesn't understand these things. Everything is just her guess and needs further verification.

She took out a scalpel and carefully cut open the abdomen of the corpse. As expected...

Song Qingwan gasped after seeing the situation inside. The girl's internal organs were damaged and her entire abdominal cavity was full of blood.

In other words, the girl's internal organs were shattered by someone all over her body when she was alive, and she died in great pain, so she looked so hideous.

“It’s so cruel.”

Song Qingwan checked Lanxiang's limbs again and found the same condition. There were no external injuries, and the strange shapes were probably caused by the force exerted during the dying struggle.

This is very strange. Lanxiang is just an ordinary maid, and Master Zhong’s family has never heard of such a powerful person. Master Zhong himself can only use some hidden weapons to hurt people.

Who could it be? With such powerful martial arts, he used such heavy hands on a weak maid...

Song Qingwan really couldn't figure it out.

After reaching the conclusion, Song Qingwan carefully sewed up the corpse's abdomen, and then asked Chunya to find a clean piece of clothing for Lanxiang to wear.

People in ancient times attached great importance to decency. The girl's death was already tragic enough. If she were to be buried in such a miserable way, Song Qingwan would really feel a little bit reluctant.

This proposal naturally received the support of Zhong Xuemei. She took out her most expensive piece of clothing and gave it to Lanxiang to wear before burying her.

Only after doing all this did Song Qingwan return to the palace. When she got home, she went straight back to her bedroom.

Song Qingwan couldn't figure out all this. First, what was the identity of such a powerful person? What was his relationship with the Zhong family?

And then, what was Master Zhong's intention in sending Lanxiang's body here? All of this is worth pondering.

"If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it!"

Song Qingwan decided to go to the Zhong family tonight to find out what kind of monsters are going on.

She did what she said. When it gradually darkened, Song Qingwan changed into a black nightgown and a pair of thin-soled shoes, said hello to Chunya, and went out.

Soon Song Qingwan arrived near the Zhong family. She first walked around the courtyard wall of the Zhong family and found that there seemed to be a lot more security personnel inside, and there were obviously more guards than before, which indicated that something was indeed happening in the Zhong family.

However, all this did not pose a problem for Song Qingwan. With the help of the space, she directly entered the Zhong family, and then quietly walked along the wall to the courtyard of Grand Tutor Zhong.

Song Qingwan had a difficult time walking along the way because these guards kept patrolling back and forth and looked very vigilant. If Song Qingwan didn't have the help of the space, she would definitely have been discovered.

"so close!"

Song Qingwan patted her chest in fear and put her ear close to Master Zhong's door.

At first, there was no sound in the room, which made Song Qingwan a little disappointed. Could it be that she was overthinking? Just when Song Qingwan wanted to look somewhere else, she suddenly heard a cold snort from the room.

"The Third Prince is really destroying his bridges after crossing them by doing this."

Song Qingwan was shocked and immediately understood that the Third Prince could not be referring to Zhao Huaijin. So there was only one possibility: Tuoba Jun actually came to the Great Sage Capital and hid in the Zhong family. This was really big news!

Just as Song Qingwan was thinking, another voice came from inside.

The voice sounded very attractive, but the accent was a bit awkward. Song Qingwan concluded that this person should be Tuoba Jun.

"Master Zhong, please don't forget how you climbed to this position. If it weren't for the help of my Dongyue country, you would probably still be just a fifth-rank official living in a corner."

Tuoba Jun's voice was steady, but it revealed a hint of disdain. This tone made Master Zhong feel very uncomfortable, so he slammed the table and stood up.

"Things are different now! Your poisoning plan has been discovered. All the following actions will depend on the Zhong family. You'd better understand this!"

"You think too highly of yourself. You are not the only one in the Zhong family who wants to rise to the top in the Great Saint Dynasty."
