Chapter 370: Can't Hide, Can Only Face It
The people from the government office dug a little deeper but still did not find the body.
"My Lords, I swear that I really buried the person here. Could it be that someone else stole the body?" Shen Chengjing said hurriedly.
"No need to dig, the body is no longer here, take Shen Chengjing back to the government office first."
The group quickly returned to the government office.
When Lord Jin heard the news, he was immediately overwhelmed.
The case has been investigated clearly, so how come the body disappeared?
"First notify the prince's mansion that the body is missing, and then send people to search the nearby area, and try to find the whereabouts of the body as soon as possible." Lord Jin ordered in a deep voice.
……
As soon as the news from the government office reached the Prince's Mansion.
The emperor also received the same news.
"The body is missing?" The emperor was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, the coroner at the government office confirmed that there were bloodstains in the soil, and quite a lot of it, which means that Shen Chengjing did bury the person there. Shen Chengjing couldn't stand the interrogation and would never dare to lie again. Could it be that someone really stole the body?" Chao Sihai had this thought.
"What if Ji Qingyuan didn't die?" the emperor asked back.
Chao Sihai was shocked, "This... This is also possible! Your Majesty is wise, I didn't even think of this."
"This matter is not as simple as it seems. It's interesting. I also want to know where Ji Qingyuan is."
The relationship between Ji Chuhe and Ji Qingyuan is like fire and water.
Ji Chuhe suddenly looked for Ji Qingyuan's whereabouts, which was suspicious in itself.
He guessed that Ji Chuhe would definitely take further action next.
……
Just after noon, Ji Chuhe entered the palace to pay homage to the queen.
The queen ordered all the concubines in the harem to move to her palace.
When Ji Qingyuan heard the news, she felt nervous.
She hadn't received any news from outside the palace, and didn't know how the matter had progressed, but Ji Chuhe suddenly entered the palace and the Queen even summoned her. It was obvious that Ji Chuhe came for her!
This happened too fast!
If she claims to be sick and doesn't go out, can she escape for a while?
But, I managed to avoid it this time, but what about next time?
How long will she hide?
Ji Qingyuan prepared herself mentally for a long time before tidying up her appearance and walking towards the Queen's palace.
Along the way, she met some concubines and newly entered palace beauties and listened to their discussions.
"Why did the Queen suddenly summon all of us to her palace? Is there something urgent?"
"I heard that the Crown Prince's wife came to the palace to pay a visit to the Queen, and she brought some spices from her shop to give to us."
"Aren't they just some spices? Can't you just let the eunuchs deliver them to the palaces? It's such a big shelf, and we have to go and get them all." Cao Yun'er looked impatient.
Now, she has been favored and granted the title of concubine. As long as she becomes pregnant with the royal heir, she will surely be directly granted the title of consort.
She didn't take a prince's wife seriously.
Especially, the Crown Prince's wife is in a hostile relationship with the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, just like her.
"It seems that because there are so many flavors, the Crown Prince's wife and the Queen may want us to choose the flavor we like."
"Tsk, who cares!" Cao Yuner sneered.
However, she didn't dare not go. After all, she had just been favored by the Queen and her position was not stable enough. She still had to consider the Queen's face.
Ji Qingyuan followed these people and came to the Queen's palace.
Some people have already arrived and are choosing around a round table.
There were several boxes of spices on the table, with all kinds of flavors.
At this moment, the Queen's palace was filled with fragrance, making people want to breathe in a few more breaths of the sweet air.
"After choosing the spices, go get an incense bell." The queen said to everyone with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, and thank you, Madam Crown Prince, for the spices." Someone immediately expressed their gratitude.
The spices sent by Ji Chuhe and the incense bells given by the Queen were made of gold and were exquisitely crafted.
Even the concubines in the harem were very happy to receive such gifts.
Cao Yuner walked in, followed by all the newly entered palace beauties, and Ji Qingyuan was among them.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." Cao Yun'er led everyone to pay respect to the Queen.
"No need to be so polite. Just go and pick the spices and incense bells." The queen responded kindly.
Cao Yuner was naturally the first one chosen among these people. Although the queen did not say to choose according to status, no one dared to compete with Cao Yuner for the limelight.
I saw her picking and choosing, and she didn't even want any of the last spice.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want these spices. I just received Your Majesty's favor. If I get pregnant with a dragon heir, I'm afraid these spices will affect him."
As soon as Cao Yuner finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned.
Those who had just finished choosing looked at the incense bells in their hands with a troubled look on their faces.
If Cao Yun'er hadn't said that, they wouldn't have thought that spices should not be used indiscriminately.
There are still some that I haven’t chosen, and I’m thinking about what excuses I can use to reject them.
It is impossible for Cao Yuner to attack Ji Chuhe directly, but she can embarrass Ji Chuhe.
After she said this, the Queen's face became a little embarrassed.
"Princess Cao, the Crown Prince's wife has also thought of what you said. After all, these are for the nobles in the palace, and there must not be any mistakes. I have asked the imperial physician to check these spices, and they do not contain anything that is harmful to the fetus." The Queen explained.
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt relieved.
These were all brought by Ji Chuhe. How could things sent into the palace not be inspected?
Otherwise, what if someone relies on this thing for everything?
"Her Majesty is in charge of all six palaces, and everything is impeccable. I was just a little worried just now, not questioning her. Please don't take Yun'er's issue with her." Cao Yun'er responded quickly.
"You have just entered the palace, so there are some procedures that you don't understand yet. It's okay, you will understand them slowly in the future." The queen responded softly.
"I don't like spices. I prefer the scent of fresh flowers. However, the incense bell given by the Queen is so exquisite. I will just pick one." Cao Yun'er passed over the spices and picked an incense bell.
Once she had finished picking, the rest of the people dared to continue picking.
She thought that if she didn't want it, others would follow her example and not want it.
As a result, the next people all picked spices and incense bells in an orderly manner.
She immediately looked at Ji Qingyuan, warning her with her eyes not to take the spices.
They are in the same group. The eldest princess was confined by Ji Chuhe and lost all her face. Would Concubine Yue dare to betray her master? Now, she and Concubine Yue are the most favored in the harem. It's okay for the two of them to join forces to embarrass Ji Chuhe!
Ji Qingyuan was cursing Cao Yuner in her heart.
Cao Yuner was so blatant, it was impossible for her to reduce her presence!
Ji Chuhe's gaze also fell on Ji Qingyuan. He suddenly stood up excitedly and rushed directly to Ji Qingyuan!
