Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
30. The Death of Zhao Yunting

He came here with something important, so his disturbance should not be considered a nuisance at all!

After she finished explaining, Princess Li Hua looked at Xueyun with an angry look, which seemed to imply: Look, I can find a doctor who works wonders for Ah Chen. Can you? You are just rubbish!

But he gasped as soon as he met Bai Xueyun's gaze.

At this moment, Chen was already dressed and got out of bed. He glanced at Princess Li Hua emotionlessly, saying: "Thank you for your kind gesture, but I don't think it's necessary. You can go."

"A Chen!" Princess Li Hua refused to leave. Because Diq had an attempt to track down Dr.'s student. Lian, she definitely would not give up so easily. “Ah Chen, your illness will be cured. I promise I'll find a doctor who can cure you, even if it means I have to search the whole country. Trust me, you'll be fine. Would you please not give up?"

He held his breath and fixed his gaze on Chen, his eyes misty and red.

"I'm fine." Chen coughed weakly as he said. His eyelashes twitched, and he looked weak. “I know about my own condition. I guess I don't need your help."

“Ah Chen, please come with me. What if Dr. Lian can really help?"

Leaning on the bedpost casually, Xueyun sneered, "Daughter Li Hua, don't you understand? The prince doesn't want anything to do with you. You better just go. Don't worry, as his empress, I will take good care of the prince. You don't have to worry."

The words Xueyun had just said were like sharp blades piercing into Princess Li Hua's heart. He glanced at Xueyun angrily before turning to look at Chen dejectedly: "Ah Chen, is ...is that what you mean?"

Xueyun looked at Chen with a smile. Chen tilted his head to glance at Xueyun before he suddenly smiled, saying in a gentle tone that had never happened before: "My Empress read my mind."

Princess Li Hua almost fainted from hearing that: "Ah Chen, I .. I don't like you anymore!"

With that, he ran away crying.

Xueyun did not feel guilty at all. Moreover, she imitated Princess Li Hua's tone, saying: "Ah Chen, I don't like you anymore!"

But the next moment, Chen pressed Xueyun onto the bedpost, her face grim, her eyes lit up with anger. "Never say that you don't like me, even if it's a joke."

Xueyun chuckled and kissed Chen before she said in a seductive tone, "Ah Chen, I like you. My feelings for you will last forever."

Chen lowered his head to kiss Xueyun's lips. Meanwhile, he placed his hand on Xueyun's waist, saying in a hoarse voice, "How about we continue?"

Xueyun looked at Chen and spun around with Chen in her arms. The next moment, he was on top of Chen and replied in the same hoarse voice: "Of course."

With that, he bent down and closed his lips with a kiss.

However, it is a catastrophe that they will not be able to have intimacy today. As soon as their lips came into contact with each other, Ju's high-pitched voice came from outside, "prince, madam Ting has died!"

Chen and Xueyun stopped at the same time before they immediately got out of bed, "What happened?"

Xueyun helped Chen to the door, which had returned to a "weak" state in an instant, and Chen asked Ju's servant. Servant Ju immediately replied, "Mrs Ting' body was found by her own servant. The maid said that it was a routine schedule for Madam Ting to practice swordsmanship in the morning every day, but she did not see Madam Ting this morning. At first, she thought her master was just sleeping, but when she realized something was wrong and pushed the door open, she saw Madame Ting's corpse on the ground."

Chen frowned, "Let's go and take a look."

"Yes." Yeah."

Zhao Yunting stayed at the Black Lily residence to the west of the mansion. As Xueyun and Chen rushed over, Zhao Yunting's servants roared loudly beside the corpse.

Upon seeing Chen step inside, the servant crawled up and knelt before him "prince, please establish justice for my nyonyaku. "

Xueyun supported Chen to sit on the chair before she walked over to Zhao Yunting's corpse.

The waiter spread out his hands immediately to guard in front of Zhao Yunting and looked at Xueyun vigilantly, saying: “What do you want? Don't come any closer!"

His gaze fixed on Xueyun was filled with intense hostility, as if he was looking at an enemy.

"Take him away." Instead of wasting time conferring with him, Xueyun ordered the other servants to pull him out before he crouched down beside Zhao Yunting and skillfully inspected the corpse.

The body was lying horizontally on his back, and a livor mortis had appeared, most of which was spread across his face and the front of his arms. Xueyun raised her neck to inspect her backside specifically, but she did not find any livor mortis there.

Zhao Yunting died with her eyes open, which seemed to show how much she did not want to leave this world, and there were red spots in the whites of her eyes.

His lips were so dark that it seemed as if they were painted black. His face, which showed no signs of the masculine demeanor he had, was pale and covered with livor mortis.

Xueyun pulled her hand back and turned her head to look at the servant held at the side, asking: "When did you find the corpse? Have you ever moved it?"

The servant pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyes filled with intense hatred. As far as he was concerned, what Xueyun had just done to the body was an absolute humiliation.

The waiter wasn't the only one who thought so. They could not understand why he was lifting up the clothes of a dead woman and pressing down on her skin. Although he used a handkerchief to avoid direct contact, it still looked creepy.

Therefore, everyone looked at Xueyun with a strange look. Chen was the only one sitting there without the slightest bit of emotional fluctuation.

Ignoring the gazes from others, Xueyun approached the maid and repeated her question: "Have you ever touched or moved a body?" He emphasized his tone and directed his gaze at the servant aggressively.

The waiter remained silent.

"If you really want to seek justice for Madame Ting, you better be honest with me." Xueyun changed strategy.

"really?" The waiter finally broke his silence, his tone hating and sneering, "Are you not the killer?"

After hearing that, Xueyun finally understood why the servant would look at her with so much hatred. He sneered and said: "What makes you think I killed him?"

“The girl has been living here for two years, and nothing has happened to her before. Why did he die shortly after you got married and lived here? If you're not the killer, who else can do it?" The female servant was probably already prepared to join Zhao Yunting on the way to heaven, so she questioned Xueyun aggressively, despite the fact that she was just a humble servant, xueyun was an honorable empress.

Xueyun did not know whether to laugh or cry after hearing that. The waiter jumped to the conclusion that he was a murderer based solely on that?

"prince, he killed my mistress, you must uphold justice!"  The waiter suddenly broke free and knelt before Chen, pleading and crying sadly.

Author's note :

Livor mortis is one of the signs of death, which is the precipitation of blood to the lower part of the body, causing a red-purple color in the skin. Because the heart no longer pumps blood, heavy red blood cells settle under the serum due to the gravity of the earth.

If you still do not understand, please find an explanation on the internet.
