After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

The day Shen Zhaoyan had the accident was a sunny day.

He was originally in his study handling Yunmeng Prefecture affairs when someone from the Qi family came and said that Old Madam Qi was dying.

Madam Qi had been very kind to Empress Xihe, and the Empress had always respected her. After Empress Xihe passed away, the old lady traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to visit the young Shen Zhaoyan.

Therefore, this old lady holds a very important position in Shen Zhaoyan's heart.

He immediately took his men to the Qi family.

When we arrived at the Qi family, the atmosphere was gloomy and sad.

A young lady said, "The old lady is dying. Your Majesty, please go in and take a look."

Shen Zhaoyan didn't think much about it and went in alone.

The old lady in the room was already on her deathbed. The young woman walked over and knelt beside the bed and said, "Old lady, the prince is here."

The old lady turned her head with difficulty, and Shen Zhaoyan quickly walked over and held her hand, "I'm here..."

The old lady's eyes lit up a little, she opened her mouth but no sound came out, she looked at him with an anxious and painful expression, and tried hard to open her mouth.

Shen Zhaoyan lowered his head and put his ear close to her mouth, "You talk, I'm listening..."

"Go...go..."

The woman kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped up, covered Shen Zhaoyan's mouth with a handkerchief, and stabbed his neck with a silver needle.

Shen Zhaoyan's attention was all on the old lady. He had no time to resist and slowly fell down.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

The old lady waved her hands around, gurgled a few times in her throat, her eyes gradually became dull and she died with her eyes wide open.

The woman closed her eyes with her hands and said, "Rest in peace."

The people outside waited and waited, and until it got dark, there was still no movement in the room.

Mu Qing, the sword-wielding guard who came with us today, looked up at the sky and felt something was wrong.

I walked to the door and knocked, but after waiting for a while no one came to open the door and there was no movement.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

After calling out twice with no response, Mu Qing reached out to push the door, but it wouldn't open; it was locked from the inside.

With a "bang", he kicked the door open. The room was empty. There was no one except the old lady lying on the bed, already dead.

"Something has happened to the prince. Surround the Qi Mansion and search it!"

He and his men searched the room thoroughly but found nothing.

Yunze and Bai Zhu received the news and brought people to control everyone in Qi Mansion.

The Qi family was confused and cried out their innocence.

Master Qi said in disbelief, "How could he disappear? We have no second thoughts about you, my Lord."

The Qi family is a scholarly family that never participates in political struggles and has no ambitions. From the perspective of interests and relationships, they have no conflicts with Shen Zhaoyan, and they even have a deep connection with him.

Plus, the old lady was dying, so everyone let down their guard, and something unexpected happened.

Yunze Muqing and his men searched the entire Qi Mansion, but found no trace of Shen Zhaoyan. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Lu Zhengliu looked towards the old lady's room and said decisively, "The news of the prince's disappearance must be kept secret. If anyone dares to leak the news, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Madam Qi was still able to hold on and immediately expressed her opinion, "I will manage the people in the mansion and will never let them talk nonsense."

He sneered, "The prince has disappeared from the mansion, which means that the mansion has become a sieve and cannot be trusted at all."

It is certain that the Qi family has no ill will towards Shen Zhaoyan. Even after the incident, all the members of the Qi family are here together.

It can only mean that there was a problem of infiltration in the mansion.

Lu Zhengliu said to Chen Bi, "I'll leave the servants in the mansion to you. You're more adept at the affairs of the backyard."

When Qi Jingzhou came back, all the people in the Qi Mansion had been controlled. His fourth brother Qi Yichen was kneeling on the ground with a knife on his neck.

"Tell me the truth about where the Fourth Young Master's wife has gone. She and the Prince are the only ones in the room. The Prince's disappearance is definitely related to her."

"Wu'er is innocent. There must be a misunderstanding. She would never do such a thing!"

Qi Jingzhou said sarcastically, "I have already reminded you that there is something wrong with that woman, but you are still stubborn and stubborn."

After he met her, he was obsessed with her like a lost soul. He even went against his family for her, went on a hunger strike and mutilated himself, and he would not marry anyone else but her.

Qi's father and mother finally compromised, thinking that as long as he liked the loving couple, that was enough.

In the two years since she got married, the fourth lady has been gentle and beautiful, respectful to her elders and tolerant to her servants. She has a harmonious relationship with Qi Yichen and has won praise from everyone.

He was the only one who never liked this fourth sister-in-law. He felt that she gave people a strange feeling, like a perfect fake person.

The ones who disappeared this time were her and the two maids beside her. As for the two senior maids in the old lady's room, they were found unconscious and thrown in a corner.

Madam Qi said regretfully, "I woke up today because I was not feeling well and could not get out of bed, so I handed the matters in the old lady's room to her."

Chen Bi quickly interrogated everyone and pieced together the confessions he got, "There is definitely something wrong with this fourth lady."

Lu Zhengliu immediately led people to the fourth lady’s parents’ home.

Bai Shu stood up suddenly and said to Qing Mu, "Go back to the mansion and see if Qi Luo is still here."

Everyone in the Qi family looked solemn, and Qi Yi was hit hard. He said in a trance, "Wu'er is innocent. She must have been captured by the bad guys."

Chen Bi looked up at the night sky. Until now, Ghost Blade, who was always hidden in the dark and inseparable from Shen Zhaoyan, and was once ranked first on the killer list, has not appeared.

He must have sensed something was wrong and chased after him. After searching the Qi Mansion, there was no one there, which could only mean that the person had escaped.

She said confidently, "There must be something wrong with the old lady's room."

Madam Qi immediately said, "A month ago, there was a fire in the courtyard where the old lady lived. So she was moved here..."

After a while, Lu Zhengliu and Qingmu came back, both of them looked unhappy.

Lu Zhengliu said, "The small courtyard is deserted. The parents of this fourth lady have disappeared."

Qing Mu also said, "Qiluo went to the clinic today and never came back home."

Bai Zhu slammed the table, "Sure enough, that witch is missing too. This must have been premeditated and has something to do with that witch."

"Immediately send someone to seal the city gates, dispatch all secret guards to look for the prince's whereabouts, and send a message to all our spies and tell them to pay attention and report immediately if they find any trace of the prince."

Lu Zhengliu issued orders one by one, remaining very calm.

The fact that he would carefully plot to take the person away at least shows that his life is not in danger for the time being, and what he needs to do is to stabilize the overall situation.

He said to Shen Bi, "Complete the interrogation and investigation of all the servants of the Qi family as soon as possible, and arrest those who are not right. The old lady's funeral will be held in three days at the latest."

The last journey of an old lady should be a peaceful one.

Bai Zhu said worriedly, "I don't know if his body can handle it. I'll have someone send a message to Xiao Ningning as fast as possible."
