Chapter 240: Tang Muqin Destroys the Body and Conceals Evide

hought, "Why don't you take me to meet your mother"Zhang Jin, upon hearing this, was startled and raised his head to look at Qing Xuan.I thought I must have misheard.Zhang Jin: "Your Highness, what di..."Husband!"

Seeing that Nan Gong Ye was injured, Qing Xuan forgot to even put on her shoes and rushed straight from the bed to Nan Gong Ye's face.

Qingxuan carefully examined the wounds on Nangong Ye's face.

Seeing that Nangong Ye's injuries were not serious, Qing Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Qingxuan: "It's not a deep wound, just a superficial one."

Seeing his wife so nervous, Nangong Ye raised his hand to caress Qingxuan's tightly stretched little face.

Nangong Ye: "Xuan'er, I don't mind."

Nan Gong Ye didn't touch anything, but when he raised his hand, Qing Xuan saw that the gauze bandage on his backpack was full of blood.

Qingxuan: "Husband, your hand!"

Qing Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed.

What did Nangong Ye go out to do

Her heart rose to her throat with worry again.

Nan Gong Ye's hand was bandaged where the wound had been. It was an injury he had inflicted on himself, matching Qing Xuan's wound so that they would both bear the same pain.

Qingxuan hurriedly grasped Nangong Ye's hand, preparing to carefully remove the gauze from his hand.

Originally, the injury on her hand hadn't healed yet. It was just the careful removal of the gauze that caused pain in her own back of her hand.

Qing Xuan unconsciously frowned.

She didn't cry out in pain, but just from that frown, Nangong Ye could sense her discomfort.

Nan Gong Ye used his blood-stained hands to grasp Qing Xuan's hand, who was about to continue removing the gauze from him.

Nangong Ye: "Xuan'er, don't panic. The blood on this cloth is not mine."

Isn't that his blood

Qingxuan was stunned.

Whose blood is that

Could it be that Nangong Ye silenced Xu Shi'rui yesterday by taking her life after serving her noodles

Qingxuan just had that thought, and she immediately shook her head, dismissing it.

She was just being impulsive in a moment of panic. It's impossible that NanGong Ye would personally go to kill Mian Shou, he would send the Yun Jian Ge guards to do it if he had to. Besides, Mian Shou didn't even need to be killed; as long as they weren't found by the palace guards, they would be safe.

It seemed as if he could guess what she was thinking. Nangong Ye said, “Yesterday evening Xu Shirui had already died in her bed, and those two masked figures were the dark guards from Yun Jiang Pavilion. They disappeared directly, leaving Tang Muqin frightened and at a loss. In the end, do you know what Tang Muqin did”

Qingxuan, seeing that the blood on Nangong Ye's back wasn't his own, was no longer so nervous.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Tang Muqin set fire to the side courtyard, destroying all evidence In that case, even if Xu Shiru went missing, she would have disappeared within the palace and had nothing to do with her."

Nan Gong Ye gave a slight nod in response.

Seeing that Nangong Ye wasn't surprised, he must have anticipated that Tang Muqin might do something like this when he was planning to kill Xu Shini with his bare hands.

If Tang Muqin hadn't destroyed the body, even if the palace guards investigated and found Yunjiang Pavilion, they wouldn't have found any clues.

If she directly disposed of the body, then there would be nothing to investigate.

Xu Shirui's death became even more bizarre than the red rain falling from the sky.

Qingxuan: "When I was at Yun'an Pavilion yesterday, I saw Tang Muqin seemed indecisive and I thought she wouldn't be capable of such a bold and ruthless act. Unexpectedly, she chose to destroy the body."

Nan Gong Ye: "Destroying the body and covering up traces was not Tang Muqin's idea."

Qingxuan: "Not Tang Muqin's idea Then..."

Qingxuan shifted her thoughts: "But what about the grandmother's feelings"

Nan Gong Ye's thin lips curled slightly. “My wife is indeed exceptionally intelligent. You guessed right. Although Tang Muqin is indecisive, she is not only licentious but also foolish. However, the old nurse by her side is a bold and ruthless person. That's why this morning, all people heard was that a remote courtyard in Nanshan had suffered water damage yesterday.”

Such an ending for Xu Shirui is better to handle than Qingxuan had anticipated.

She turned her gaze back to Nangong Ye's face, her voice laced with concern. "Husband, what happened to the wound on your face and the blood on your hands"an will be unhappy and refuse to treat him. As a result, the emperor doesn't plan to stop Meifei from giving Ji Qingxuan the Nine Profound Pear Flower Needle anymore.Jiang Fei's eyes shifted, the empe...
