Qiao Tianchang looked at Nangong Che with a sneer: "What do you mean? In the palace, there are about twenty maids in each palace, but in the palace where Lingguo is locked, there are less than ten maids left. This general is very curious. Where did the remaining ten maids go?"
Nangong Che's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at the scholar next to him. The scholar's brows also wrinkled slightly.
"We don't know about this. I wonder how the general knew about it." When Nangong Che didn't know how to answer, Nangong Yue looked up at her and asked lightly.
"That's right, how did you know? Could it be that you were spying on us?" Nangong Che followed Nangong Che after hearing Nangong Yue's words.
Qiao Tianchang glanced at Nangong Che silently, and then his eyes fell on Nangong Yue. This princess was indeed the most beloved princess of Emperor Ling.
"Bring it with you." Qiao Tianchang said with a calm expression.
Soon, Leian and Nanyu brought in a corpse, and that corpse was that of a palace maid.
Seeing the body riddled with holes, Xiao Qifeng frowned tightly, and his eyes fell on Qiao Tianchang: "What's going on with Tianchang?"
"Yesterday I took Mengyao to the back mountain for hunting and found it on the mountain." Qiao Tianchang looked at Xiao Qifeng with a calm look in his eyes.
Seeing Qiao Tianchang like this, Xiao Qifeng was a little confused and didn't understand what he wanted to do.
In the end, Xiao Qifeng remained silent and watched the development of things quietly.
"You take a corpse found in the back mountain and say it was done by us. General Qiao, you are going too far." Nangong Che looked at Qiao Tianchang with a very ugly face.
However, the scholars around him frowned. Did they discover something
"Why is Prince Nangong so anxious? Let's listen to Wu Zuo tell us about the cause of her death." Qiao Tianchang looked at Nangong Che with unclear meaning.
Rather than saying that Qiao Tianchang was looking at Nangong Che, it was better to say that his eyes were on the scholar.
The scholar's scalp felt numb due to Qiao Tianchang's eyes. Not even Xiao Qifeng could make her feel like this.
Wu Zuo arrived soon and inspected the corpse on the ground.
Finally, he said: "Your Majesty, this maid has many scars on her body. In addition, there are skin flakes and blood stains on her fingernails. She left scratches on her body during her lifetime. Not only that, this maid's body is full of scars." It's a small insect." As he spoke, Wuzuo opened the hand on her exposed arm. The moment he opened it, the small insect inside came out and ran to the side quickly.
Seeing those bugs, Nanyu quickly opened the wine jar in his hand and poured it on the bugs. Then he took out a fire stick, lit it and threw it on the bugs soaked in wine.
Then, the insects made a piercing cry, and at the same time, the body of the palace maid was instantly eaten by the insects, and not even the skeleton was left. After that, the insects rushed towards the fire one after another. , followed by bursts of piercing screams and pungent odor.
When all the bugs were burned out, the scholar spat out a mouthful of blood with a look of pain on his face.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Tianchang had an evil smile on his lips: "What's wrong with this gentleman?"
Nanyu glanced at the scholar and said calmly: "He was bitten by a poisonous insect."
By this time, Xiao Qifeng would be a huge fool if he still didn't understand.
Looking at Nangong Che and the others coldly: "I really hope that Prince Nangong can explain to me what is going on, infecting my maid's body with worms?"
"This... this is nonsense. This prince is just like this because he was injured before and the old injury recurred." Nangong Che knew that if he admitted such a thing, no one knew what would happen.
However, Xiao Qifeng was not the kind of person who would be beguiled by his words.
He glanced at Nangong Che and the others coldly: "It seems that if we don't figure things out now, I'm afraid I'll have trouble sleeping and eating. Someone will come to the palace to search for me, and I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over and give this gentleman a good look. , is it because he was injured and the old injury relapsed?"
