After transmigrating into a mermaid, I will monopolize three thousand favors

However, Cong Lu's condition did not improve.

Three days later, Cong Ji woke up early in the morning, and heard Qin Xiao report: "A female corpse was found in Jinyun Pond. After identification, it should be Fang Yun."

Fang Yun...

Wen Qi woke up suddenly and looked at Cong Ji: "Can I go with Your Majesty?"

Cong Ji shook his head and said, "No."

Wen Qi insisted: "I want to go with His Majesty."

Even though he knew that the current self was useless to Cong Ji, he still hoped that he could be helpful to Cong Ji.

Cong Ji sighed: "It's up to you."

One person and one shark quickly dressed and washed, and left the Danquan Hall together.

Wen Qi's feet were still unable to walk like ordinary people, staggering, Cong Ji simply hugged Wen Qi horizontally, performed lightness kung fu, and went straight to Jinyun Pool.

Jinyun Lake is located in a remote place, few people set foot there, it is not far from the Leng Palace, and currently there are no concubines living in the Leng Palace.

Hong Yu was crying for Fang Yun, but when Cong Ji glanced at her, she tried her best to stop crying.

Cong Ji put down Wen Qi, and saw the horrific female corpse at a glance, so he quickly reached out and covered Wen Qi's eyes.

Wen Qi understood that Cong Ji's move was because he was afraid that the female corpse would frighten him. In fact, he had seen the corpse once, which was his own corpse after he was strangled to death by his mother and his soul floated out of his body.

Now, even though he hasn't seen the female corpse yet, the smell of the corpse is penetrating into his nostrils, making him retch, one can imagine how horrific the condition of the female corpse is.

But now that he has made up his mind to assist Cong Ji to become a prosperous Mingjun, it is impossible to hide under Cong Ji's wings forever.

Therefore, he opened his lips and said: "Your Majesty, let go."

"No." Cong Ji was afraid that Wen Qi would have a nightmare, so he refused, and then went to look at the female corpse carefully. The female corpse's appearance was vaguely discernible, and it was indeed Fang Yun. No wonder Fang Yun could not be found, but it turned out that Fang Yun was already dead.

Fang Yun's body has been sinking for a long time, and it was not until today that the body was full of water that it finally floated up.

He then asked the doctor who was doing the autopsy, "What is the cause of death?"

Wu Zuo respectfully said: "Your Majesty, according to my preliminary judgment, the cause of death was drowning."

Drowning to death, Fang Yun was silenced, committed suicide in fear of crime, or fell into the water by slipping?

Cong Ji thought about it, and then asked Wu Zuo to confirm: "Is there any trace of struggle? Is there someone else's flesh embedded in the nail?"

Wu wrote a report: "There are no traces of struggle, and there is no other person's flesh embedded in the nails. Since the body was soaked in water for more than two days after death, it is impossible to tell whether there was someone else's flesh embedded in the nails when he fell into the water. This Jinyun Lake It is connected to the underground water veins, and there are fish in it, even if there are other people's flesh embedded in the nails, once it falls into the pool, it cannot be found."

Cong Ji ordered: "You dissect Fang Yun in detail, and if there is anything suspicious, report it to me immediately."

Afterwards, he greeted Qin Xiao who was beside him: "Who found Fang Yun's body?"

Qin Xiao signaled a servant nearby to come forward. The servant lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this servant is in charge of cleaning this place. I came here today and suddenly found this female corpse. I immediately reported it to Commander Qin."

Cong Ji nodded, indicating that he knew, and said to Qin Xiao, "You can try again."

There are many doubts about Fang Yun's matter, Fang Yun is dead, and we can only hope for Lu Zhu'er.

It wasn't until the guards carried Fang Yun's body away that Cong Ji put down his right hand that covered Wen Qi's eyes.

Wen Qi couldn't adapt to the light for a while, blinked, and was carried back to Danquan Hall by Cong Ji.

Cong Ji put Wen Qi on the soft couch, and said: "I have to go to court, and Mr. Yu will come soon, so you should work hard."

Wen Qi was just inconvenient to disobey Cong Ji's orders in public, so he let Cong Ji cover his eyes, and when he saw that Cong Ji was about to leave, he grabbed Cong Ji's sleeves and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, I I'm an adult, and I don't need His Majesty to protect me carefully."

"I know you are an adult, but Wen Qi, my expectation for you is not to become a criminal officer. You don't have to force yourself to look at the corpse." Cong Ji rubbed Wen Qi's hair, and then came out. Danquan Hall.

After he came down to court, he passed the minister of Dali Temple, Shen Xinyi, to the Sizheng Hall, and told the story of Fang Yun, and then said: "You will be fully responsible for this matter, and you must investigate to find out. The princess is currently suffering from repeated illnesses. You try not to disturb the princess."

Shen Xin said awkwardly: "According to what His Majesty just said, the princess is obviously the key to this case."

Cong Ji ordered: "I know your difficulties, you should first investigate the real cause of Fang Yun's death."

Shen Xinyi was the number one scholar handpicked by him in the year he succeeded to the throne, and he was also a confidant whom he single-handedly selected, so he could safely hand over cases that might involve the death of his mother to Shen Xinyi.

Shen Xinyi asked Cong Ji for instructions: "Can Concubine Zhao be handed over to my minister for investigation?"

To investigate the cause of Fang Yun's death, it is necessary to investigate Concubine Zhao, Cong Ji nodded: "Just one thing, you have to keep it in mind, unless the evidence of Concubine Zhao's crime is convincing, you don't want to punish her."

Shen Xin cupped her hands and said, "This minister takes orders, so I will leave now."

Cong Ji began to review the memorials, and at noon, he left the Sizheng Hall to see Cong Lu.

Cong Lu happened to be awake, and when she saw him, she called him affectionately: "Brother."

Cong Lu would sometimes call him "brother" and sometimes "brother Huang".

Usually when he was more sober, Cong Lu would call him "Emperor Brother" out of rules.

Cong Ji stared at Cong Lu and said, "Luzhuer, are you feeling better?"

Cong Lu smiled and said, "It's much better."

Cong Ji was afraid that Cong Lu would have a splitting headache like last time, so he didn't dare to ask about the female ghost in white, but asked concerned: "Can you have lunch?"

Cong Lu asked instead: "I remember my brother was looking for the female ghost in white. How is she?"

"The female ghost in white clothes you mentioned, that is, Fang Yun, was found drowned this morning. The specific circumstances are not known yet." Seeing that Cong Lu seemed to be in good spirits, Cong Ji asked tentatively, "Are you..."

Cong Lu shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember anything, and every time I think about the past, I feel a splitting headache."

"You don't need to apologize to me. It's all my fault. I failed to protect you." Cong Jifu asked again, "Can you have lunch?"

"Brother didn't feel sorry for me, so don't blame yourself. I woke up not long ago, and I didn't have time for lunch." Cong Lu invited, "If brother hasn't had lunch, can you eat it with me?"

Cong Ji naturally agreed, but he heard Cong Lu again and said, "Where is sister-in-law? Brother, let's invite sister-in-law to have lunch together."

He corrected: "Wen Qi is not your sister-in-law."

Cong Lu winked and said: "Brother, isn't he shy?"

Cong Ji said helplessly: "Wen Qi is really not your sister-in-law. First, Wen Qi is not a woman; second, Wen Qi is not a broken sleeve."

Cong Lu was very confused: "If that's the case, why is my brother so close to his sister-in-law?"

Cong Ji was confused when he heard the words: Why am I so close to Wen Qi?By the way, it's because of my bloodthirsty desire. Since I stayed at the Danquan Temple overnight, the frequency of bloodthirsty desire has become less and less.Why does Wen Qi want to be so close to me?At first it was out of flattery, but later it should be out of habit.

He thought it through, and since Cong Lu didn't know that he was suffering from bloodlust, he said mysteriously, "I won't tell you."

"Brother is really stingy." Cong Lu said dissatisfiedly, "Brother must invite his sister-in-law to have lunch with me today, otherwise, I won't have lunch, and I will feel sorry for my brother when I am hungry."

Cong Ji had no choice but to compromise: "All right."

After saying that, he went to pick up Wen Qi himself, and seeing Wen Qi eating lunch alone, he asked, "Where is the master?"

Wen Qi put down the bamboo chopsticks and replied: "Mr. Yu's daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby girl not long ago. As soon as he got the news, he rushed back to hold his granddaughter."

Cong Ji couldn't help feeling envious: granddaughter... I will never have a wife in my life, let alone a granddaughter.

Seeing this, Wen Qi said clearly: "If your majesty wants a granddaughter, just go to visit the concubine."

Cong Jifa asked: "Aren't you unwilling to see my concubine? Why are you so generous now?"

"It's His Majesty's job to spread branches and leaves for the Cong family. Even if Wen Qi doesn't want to, he can't stop it." Wen Qi understands that he has no right to make Cong Ji die.

"I have no plans to continue Cong's bloodline." Cong Ji turned and said, "Luzhuer invites you to have lunch together, would you like it?"

Wen Qi was overjoyed and puzzled, "Why did the princess invite me to have lunch together?"

Cong Ji said apologetically: "She recognizes you as her sister-in-law, and she insists on having lunch with you, so don't mind."

"It's okay." Wen Qi didn't resent being recognized by Cong Lu as his sister-in-law, but just laughed it off, "I'd like to have lunch with the princess."

Cong Ji sent Wen Qi's lunch to Bailu Hall with his servant, and he went to Bailu Hall with Wen Qi in his arms.

Cong Lu was sitting on a low stool, so as not to scare Wen Qi, she put on a veil deliberately.

Seeing Cong Ji hugging Wen Qi, she teased, "Brother and sister-in-law are really close."

Wen Qi pretended not to hear it, and after being put down by Cong Ji, he said respectfully: "Wen Qi pays homage to the princess."

"Sister-in-law is being polite." Cong Lu stood up, "Lu Zhuer has seen sister-in-law."

When they were young, lunch was delivered, and the two chatted and laughed together while having lunch.

After lunch, Cong Ji carried Wen Qi to the Sizheng Hall, while Cong Lu went to bed.

She has lived in a daze for eight years, and she can no longer let herself go on like this.

After that, she closed her eyes and forced herself to recall what happened when she was three or four years old. Her brother had already said that the female ghost in white was called Fang Yun, and she was Princess Zhao's personal maid. Why did she recognize Fang Yun as a white-clothed ghost? female ghost?

Even though it was something she experienced personally, she couldn't remember it at all. The frames after frames were all blurry and fleeting, she couldn't grasp it at all, and the headache was as fast as lightning. After capturing her, she couldn't resist at all, she was sweating all over, frowned, and said desperately: "Xue Juan, hurry up and invite Imperial Physician Liu..."

Before the words fell to the ground, she had already fainted.

Her last sliver of consciousness was: Why am I so incompetent?
