The Empress Wants a Divorce Every Day

Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Head-to-Head Confrontation

Feng Qing paused here, raised her hand, and pointed at the lighter strangulation mark.

”As for the latter strangulation mark, since the person had died, the blood stopped flowing, so the mark is lighter. Furthermore, look at her tongue; it was forcibly pulled out, and the hyoid bone is fractured. The person who attacked her must know martial arts.”

After speaking, Feng Qing looked at Nan Feng and said, ”Do you think that someone with martial arts under my command harmed her? Or that I know martial arts?”

These words were sarcastic. If Feng Qing had someone with martial arts under her, they would have long fled instead of needing to climb walls to escape.

After hearing this, Nan Feng knew they had wronged Feng Qing and instinctively said, ”Princess Consort, I...”

Feng Qing was not interested in listening to him; she currently had no goodwill towards the people of the Regent Prince Mansion.

”Alright, let’s head back, lest your master waits too long.”

The two of them left the room and walked all the way to the Purple Bamboo Pavilion. Once inside the room,

Nan Feng reported to Rong Ling, ”Caiyun was strangled to death first and then hung up. Also, her hyoid bone was fractured.”

The murderer, to disguise the death as a suicide by hanging, pulled out Caiyun’s tongue after her death, forcibly breaking the hyoid bone.

Such a method could only be executed by someone skilled in martial arts.

In the room, Rong Ling was filled with a cold fury. What did this mean? It suggested that, besides Caiyun, there were other spies within the Regent Prince Mansion; otherwise, no one could easily enter the Regent Prince Mansion.

Rong Ling exuded a chilling aura, his face stern, his phoenix eyes filled with gloom.

Just then, Feng Qing’s cold mocking voice sounded, ”Prince, you might as well send someone to check whether I had left alone before, or to see if any of my subordinates know martial arts.”

Rong Ling’s expression turned worse. Feng Qing had stayed here before; although she later went to the East Wing, she couldn’t leave, as there were guards posted all around. Her words were clearly mocking him.

Rong Ling, though he knew Feng Qing was innocent, couldn’t help but feel anger building due to the series of events and Feng Qing’s cold sarcasm.

He raised his eyes, coldly glaring at Feng Qing, and sneered, ”Maybe someone is cooperating with you.”

Feng Qing’s face darkened, and she rudely retorted, ”Then you should hurry up and find that person. I’m waiting for him to testify against me.”

No one testified against her, so it was difficult to convict her.

Rong Ling’s face turned even darker, and in the room, Caiyun’s parents had already fainted from crying.

Rong Ling instructed someone to take them out and ordered Nan Feng to bring the doctor from the mansion to treat these two and their son.

Nan Feng called someone to take them away and instructed others to deal with the matter. He then returned to the room, where Rong Ling and Feng Qing faced off coldly, like enemies.

Nan Feng watched with a headache.

Just then, Nan Xuan returned from Huguo Temple with medicinal herbs.

Nan Feng immediately called for Divine Doctor Zhang to come over. Divine Doctor Zhang arrived to guide someone in preparing the medicine, while others waited in the room. Once a bowl of medicinal decoction was ready and brought in, everyone stared at it intently.

Rong Ling instructed Nan Feng to bring it over.

Nan Feng hesitated, ”Prince, this?”

If there was something wrong with the medicine, the Prince could die instantly.

Everyone in the room became tense. Feng Qing was thoroughly exasperated; it was just a bowl of medicine—was it really worth getting so worked up over?

She stepped forward, took the bowl, sipped it, then looked at everyone in the room and said, ”Alright, now can it be drunk?”

Once Feng Qing spoke, Rong Ling’s face darkened as he ordered in a low voice, ”Bring it over...”
