My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 158 Who is the murderer?



Chapter 158 Who is the murderer?

The guard walked to the front of the courtyard and saw the guard on duty at the gate. He called out, "Is the prince not up yet?"

The guard whose acupoints were pressed winked frantically, his eyeballs rolling around, indicating that he couldn't move at all.

"Answer my question." Seeing that the person on duty didn't say anything while he was speaking, the guard immediately became dissatisfied and his tone became even harsher.

The guards whose acupoints were pressed: "..."

The guard became a little impatient. He stepped forward and pushed the man aside, preparing to go in to take a look at the situation. He thought to himself that the prince's guards were becoming more and more outrageous. He must report this matter to the prince so that the prince could punish these people.

However, just as he took a step, he saw the guard he had pushed away fell straight to the ground.

He turned around and realized something was wrong. He quickly grabbed the arm of the person on the ground and found that he had been acupunctured.

He quickly untied the guard's acupuncture points, "What's going on?"

"Guard Wu, last night, a ghost broke in here and pressed the acupoints on all of us." The man had been holding it in all night, his body was a little stiff, and he couldn't speak smoothly.

"What? Not good!" The man realized that something was wrong and quickly ran towards Wu Tiancheng's room.

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a smell of blood. When he ran inside, he saw the ground was in a mess. Wu Tiancheng was lying naked on the ground, covered with wounds.

"Prince, Prince." The guard was terribly frightened by Wu Tiancheng's appearance. He stretched out his trembling hand and placed it on Wu Tiancheng's philtrum. Feeling the faint breath, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone come, someone come quickly." He wanted to pick up Wu Tiancheng and put him on the bed, but looking at the wounds all over his body, he didn't know where to start for a moment.

When Prince Dingyuan received the news and rushed over, Wu Tiancheng had already been placed on the bed, covered with a thin blanket.

He lifted the blanket and saw his precious son lying on it, his body covered with bloody wounds. The blood on most of the wounds had already coagulated, which made him look even more horrible.

"What on earth is going on?!" Prince Dingyuan's eyes were blazing with anger as he stared at everything in front of him in disbelief.

"Where's the doctor? Hurry up and find him!"

"Your Highness, the doctor is here." The guard whose acupoints were unblocked first reacted long ago. He grabbed the doctor by the back of his collar and ran in carrying him.

"Quick, hurry and see the prince."

They didn't bring a doctor with them on this trip, so the guard went to the pharmacy outside to find a doctor.

The doctor was held by the collar almost all the way, his feet were in the air, his eyes were rolled back, and the guards let go.

The doctor fell to the ground helplessly. Not only could he not treat anyone's illness, he himself was having trouble breathing.

"What are you still standing there for? If you don't get up and get treated, I'll kill you right away."

"Yes, yes." Looking at the group of ferocious people in front of him, the doctor forced himself to steady his breathing and got up from the ground tremblingly.

When I saw the person on the bed, I was shocked.

He first grabbed Wu Tiancheng's wrist, and made sure that he was still alive, which made him feel relieved.

"Gentlemen, this patient's condition is very serious. I am limited in my ability and I am afraid I am unable to help. Please find a doctor with better medical skills."

The doctor looked helpless.

"Take this king's token and go to the palace to ask the imperial physician to come over, quickly."

King Dingyuan originally wanted to order someone to kill the doctor in front of him, but when he thought that this was the capital, not Yicheng which he ruled, he suppressed his anger and signaled the guards to take the doctor away.

King Dingyuan personally checked the situation in the room and found the exhausted aphrodisiac incense in the incense burner next to it.

There was also a pile of ashes next to the table, and two prostitutes wearing aphrodisiac perfume.

"Find out who dared to attack my son!"

Countless figures flashed through King Dingyuan's mind, but he denied them one by one.

No, he came to Beijing quietly and kept the news secret so not many people would know about it.

Moreover, even if these people had a grudge against him, they would not do such a thing and attack his son as soon as he returned to the capital.

"Come here, has the prince made enemies with anyone or had any conflicts recently?" King Dingyuan looked at the guards who usually protected his son.

"In reply to the prince, something happened between the prince and two girls at Fuguang Temple yesterday. The two girls brought guards with powerful martial arts skills. They knocked the subordinate to the ground and then left."

The leading guard clasped his fists in response.

"With guards with strong martial arts skills? Can you find out whose family they are from?" King Dingyuan put his hands behind his back with a serious face. He quickly found the key point from the guards' words.

"I have sent people to investigate, but there is no result yet."

"Let's investigate further and find out who was so bold as to attack the son of my Prince Dingyuan last night."

"Your Highness, I found a sachet that looks suspicious." A man who was inspecting the room found something at the corner of the table and handed it to Prince Dingyuan.

Prince Dingyuan took the sachet and examined it carefully in his hand.

The sachet is embroidered with an eagle, and the embroidery is exquisite, which is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.

The fabric used to make the sachets is floating brocade, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Check, this must be what the murderer left behind." King Dingyuan threw the thing to the person next to him.

Wu Tiancheng had no habit of using sachets. The two women in the room were prostitutes, so it was impossible for them to own such a sachet. Apart from them, the murderer could only be the owner of the sachet.

Moreover, this person must be of very noble status.

In the general's mansion, An Qingqian stayed in her room, opened the book on the table, but could not concentrate on reading.

The maid who came in to serve was from the courtyard, her name was Xiaoyan.

"Miss, are you a little tired? Do you want to take a rest? Let me help you in." Xiaoyan saw that An Qingqian looked unhappy and spoke with concern.

"No need, you can go down." An Qingqian waved his hand.

After sending Xiaoyan away, An Qingqian took out a rosewood hairpin and a jade pendant from the dressing table.

The rosewood hairpin was given to her by Shi Qiuwu when he prayed for blessings at Fuguang Temple yesterday. The jade pendant was given to her by Shi Qiuwu when they parted this morning.

According to Shi Qiuwu, this is his personal jade pendant, which is almost equivalent to him.

If you encounter any problems, you can just take this jade pendant to the Tianshanglairen Restaurant.
