Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

Only Su Jiajia stood aside, looking at Suning angrily.

The thoughts in my mind were like undercurrents, all centered around how to set a trap for Suning in a clever way.

There was a calculating light in her eyes. She seemed to have seen that Suning had unknowingly stepped into this trap.

The feeling of being in control of everything made her feel an indescribable excitement.

But despite the excitement, Su Jiajia also knew the danger of this game.

Any negligence could turn her from hunter into prey.

And Concubine Yao, who was standing not far from her, also looked at Su Jiajia with the same eyes.

Just as the banquet was about to end, the lively atmosphere was suddenly broken by a panicked, breathless intruder. The guard stumbled into the center of the hall, fell to his knees with a thud, and his voice was obviously trembling.

"Report——!" The guard's shout echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the guard, who looked as pale as paper.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he had experienced something terrible.

"Qi... Qi Jiang State Commander, Wanyan Shuo's body has appeared!"

The guard's words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present.

The emperor's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes became sharp and solemn.

He straightened up and asked in a deep and powerful voice:

"What did you say? Wanyan Shuo's body? Where was it found?"

The guard raised his head tremblingly, pointed outside the hall with a shaking hand, and stammered:

"Just... just outside the back door of the palace, Your Majesty..."

The emperor's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He slapped the armrest hard, stood up, and said sternly:

"Take me to see it!"

When Concubine Yao heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her face. She thought to herself:

Is this some kind of political conspiracy? Why did Wanyan Shuo's body appear here?

A series of questions came to her mind, but she didn't say much, just quietly followed the emperor to check the situation.

When they arrived at the back door of the palace, the scene before them made everyone gasp.

Wanyan Shuo's body was seen lying on the ground, his face was distorted and his eyes were wide open, as if he had experienced extremely painful torture before his death.

There was a pungent smell around the corpse, which was disgusting.

The emperor squatted down and carefully examined Wanyan Shuo's body.

He found that the dead man's skin was a strange purple-blue color.

Moreover, his body was covered with densely packed tiny wounds, as if he had been pierced by countless sharp objects.

"What exactly is going on?"

The emperor murmured to himself.

Yaopin said softly:

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. We must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause further disputes between the two countries."

The emperor nodded in agreement. He turned to the guards around him and ordered:

"No one is allowed to leave. At the same time, send people to investigate the cause of Wanyan Shuo's death. The truth must be uncovered!"?

As the second prince in the court, Gu Peng also looked solemn at this moment.

"Father,"

Gu Peng bowed and stepped out.

"This matter is of great importance. I request your permission to personally inspect it."

The emperor nodded and motioned for Gu Peng to go.

At this time, Gu Yuan also stood up. As Gu Peng's brother, he also held a seat in the court.

"Father, I am willing to go with you to assist in the investigation."

Gu Yuan's eyes were firm and his face was full of dedication to justice.

The emperor pondered for a moment and then agreed to Gu Yuan's request.

At the same time, Suning also stood up.

"Your Majesty, Suning is willing to go with you. Perhaps we can find some different clues from a female perspective."

Suning spoke in a steady tone, his eyes revealing wisdom and courage.

The emperor ordered his men to carry away the body first and keep the scene intact. Then the group returned to the palace in a grand procession.

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed, looking deep in thought.

Gu Peng, Gu Yuan and Su Ning knelt in front of the emperor with solemn expressions, waiting for the emperor's decision.

The atmosphere in the hall was so solemn that one could hear a pin drop.

Finally, the emperor slowly raised his head and glanced at the three people one by one.

His eyes were deep, as if they could see through all appearances and reach people's hearts.

The three of them couldn't help but feel awe under the emperor's gaze, but it also strengthened their determination.

"Gu Peng, Gu Yuan, and Su Ning, since the three of you have this wish,

I will allow you to go and examine the body."

The emperor's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall.

Gu Peng and the others were delighted when they heard this, but they did not dare to show it at all.

"I will live up to your expectations and do my best to find out the truth!"

Gu Peng, on behalf of the three people, kowtowed respectfully to express his gratitude.

The emperor nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Go ahead. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling the three to leave.

Gu Peng, Gu Yuan and Su Ning kowtowed again, then slowly stood up and left the hall.

As night fell, the hazy moonlight enveloped the Prince of Qin's Palace.

Gu Peng stood outside Gu Yuan's door with a solemn expression, as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.

He knocked gently on the door.

Gu Yuan opened the door and saw that it was Gu Peng. He looked a little puzzled:

"Brother, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Gu Peng frowned and said in a low voice:

"Gu Yuan, I have something to tell you. We are going to perform an autopsy tonight."

When Gu Yuan heard this, his face suddenly changed and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Although he was brave and fearless on the battlefield, and never flinched in the face of blood and flesh flying everywhere, life and death were intertwined,

But the dead bodies in the morgue made him feel an inexplicable fear.

The cold, silent and lifeless atmosphere seemed to be able to devour one's soul.

When Gu Yuan thought of that place, he felt a chill rising up his spine, making him tremble involuntarily.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the fear in his heart.

Try to fight this discomfort with strong will.

Gu Yuan swallowed his saliva, and with a slightly trembling voice, he said with forced calmness:

"Brother, can I not go? Besides, why do we have to go at night? I...I am really afraid of the dead in the morgue."

His eyes revealed deep fear and helplessness, as if he could no longer bear such pressure.

Gu Peng looked at Gu Yuan, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder and said firmly:

"Yumo, we need to perform the autopsy as quickly as possible. We need to prevent others from tampering with the body. This operation is very important and we must find out the truth."

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Peng's determined eyes and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to my second brother. Let's go find out together!"

Su Qianqian had just returned to her room when Gu Yuan and Gu Peng followed her and knocked on her door.

"Are you going to perform an autopsy?" Su Qianqian said impatiently, her tone full of excitement and anticipation.

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng smiled at each other and said, "Yes, we have to go earlier, the sooner the better, in case someone tampers with the corpse."

"Okay, let's go now." Su Qianqian said.

The three of them immediately set off for the autopsy room, and Ye Hanxing followed them all the way, he just wanted to protect Su Qianqian.

After a while, they arrived at the morgue.

Su Qianqian walked in impatiently, and a pungent smell hit her face.

But she seemed unaware of it and walked straight towards the corpse that was waiting for her.

She knew that she would have to use her wisdom and observation skills to uncover the secrets behind the corpse.

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng stood aside, looking at Su Qianqian's focused expression, they couldn't help but secretly admire her.
