Shengjing Noble

Chapter 297: Pampered

So she turned around without saying a word and returned to the room where the body was stored and closed the door.

Fu Wuyang, who was hiding in the tree, frowned when he saw this, thinking, if she was scared, shouldn't she run outside? Why did she hide back in the house?

Could it be that he thought there was an assassin?

Thinking of this, he immediately jumped down from the tree and walked to the door to listen to the noise inside.

But after waiting for a while, there was no sound from inside.

Now he lost his patience and pushed the door open a little.

Looking inside in the dim moonlight, the room was pitch black. There was no human figure except for the corpse covered with white cloth lying on the bed.

This is strange!

Fu Wuyang's heart tightened and he immediately opened the door and walked in.

There were only many wooden beds in the square room, and there was open space under the beds, so it was impossible to hide people there. Therefore, if Su Lanyin was here, he would be able to spot her at a glance.

But looking around, are there any extra people?

Su Lanyin seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. She walked into the room and disappeared.

This was so strange, he walked to the window to check, they were all locked from the inside, so if someone escaped from here, they would definitely be opened.

So, she didn't leave and is still in this room?

What about that person?

Could it be that he was taken away by a ghost?

Fu Wuyang also wanted to be an atheist, but this situation made him feel cold.

"Su Lanyin? Where... where are you?"

He asked tentatively, but all he got in response was dead silence.

A sudden gust of wind blew and made the door bang.

Fu Wuyang felt his scalp tingling. He turned around and was about to walk out, but when he passed by a wooden bed, his clothes were grabbed tightly.

His body stiffened for a moment and he looked back, only to see a slender hand reaching out from under the white cloth. The hand looked particularly pale in the darkness and it was tightly grasping his clothes.

"what!"

He frowned and was furious. Just as he was about to tear the clothes off, he saw the white cloth stand up little by little.

At this moment, his heart almost jumped into his throat and he was about to scream.

There was a figure under the white cloth. As he sat up, the white cloth slid down little by little. The first thing that came out was a head of long black hair, which was spread out and covered his face.

"..."

Fu Wuyang froze in place, unable to utter a single word, only his lips trembled slightly.

The next moment, the "ghost" suddenly let out a shrill scream at him!

"what--"

Fu Wuyang was startled and was about to turn around to run when suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

He lowered his raised foot, turned around and grabbed the "ghost's" arm, then unceremoniously lifted her long hair that was covering her face.

Sure enough, it was Su Lanyin's face full of a smirk.

"Hahahahahaha..."

She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter, holding her stomach with one hand.

Fu Wuyang looked at her expressionlessly, his level of speechlessness reaching its lowest point.

"Have you laughed enough?" he asked through gritted teeth.

Su Lanyin laughed non-stop, and finally stopped when she got a stitch in the side.

"Your Highness... I didn't expect you were really afraid of ghosts, hahaha... You only have this little courage, and you still want to scare me? This is really ridiculous, hahaha..."

She laughed and patted his shoulder, thinking it was all so funny.

The famous King Xiaoyao is actually afraid of ghosts?

If this gets out, there may not be anyone who believes it!

But it's really funny!

Fu Wuyang could no longer bear it. He had lived for more than 20 years and no one had ever dared to laugh at him like this.

"Have you had enough of the trouble? You came here to do business, not to make fun of me! Be careful or I'll charge you with treason!"

Su Lanyin immediately pursed her lips and dared not laugh anymore, but her face still turned red.

After all, the contrast was too great, and it was really difficult for her to hold back her laughter!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Who would have thought that you would be so easily frightened? But if you were afraid, why did you follow me?" she asked curiously.

"Who said I was scared?" He was too proud to admit it and said angrily, "I followed you here because I was worried that you would be in danger. Who knew you would act so mysteriously? It's so abominable!"

"Weren't you the one who played tricks first?"

Her question left Fu Wuyang speechless.

"Uh... I haven't asked you yet. After searching for such a long time, what have you found?" He was anxious to change the subject.

When Su Lanyin heard this, she immediately forgot what had just happened and jumped off the bed.

She took out the wrapped handkerchief from her sleeve and when she opened it a choking stench came out.

He frowned and covered his nose to check, and found a pool of dry yellow substance on the handkerchief.

"what is this?"

"Excrement." Su Lanyin replied.

Fu Wuyang was even more disgusted after hearing this: "What are you doing with this! Did you... dig it out?"

Su Lanyin looked disapproving: "I can't do a cesarean section on her without permission, so I have to find another way."

"Then you can't either... this is disgusting!"

He lived a life of luxury, so naturally he couldn't accept such dirty things.

Su Lanyin said, "Don't worry, I didn't scratch it. It was on her underwear. I scraped some off and planned to go back and study it."

"Study what?"

"Study what kind of poison is in these excrement."

"How do you know there's poison here?"

"I checked Miss Muzi's body that morning. Her face was blue, and there were signs of bleeding from her nose and ears. There was some vomit at the corners of her mouth. I thought she had severe abdominal pain at night and must have vomited something. Of course, if she vomited, she must have diarrhea, so I took a sample."

"Does this prove that she was poisoned?"

"From the appearance of the body, the skin, lips and nails are blue and purple. These are all signs of poisoning. In order to further confirm it, we have to take it back for a careful examination."

"You have worked hard to help Kang Chenxi prove her innocence."

"It's not all for him. Doesn't the prince want to return to Shengjing as soon as possible?"

"Of course I do."

"Let's go."

Su Lanyin pulled him out, and just as one foot stepped out of the threshold, suddenly a cold light appeared in the darkness.

In a flash, Fu Wuyang pulled Su Lanyin back into his arms almost like lightning.

He chopped down with his sword, but missed.

The two of them then saw clearly that there was a man in black lying in ambush at the door!

"There are assassins!"

Both of them became nervous, but more confused.

They hid their identities so well, yet they were found by the prince's men so quickly?

Before he had time to think, the assassins swarmed over with swords in hand.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang joined forces to meet the enemy.

What surprised them again was that the level of these assassins was far inferior to those previous desperadoes.

Within just a few moves, the group of men in black were knocked to the ground by the two men. Seeing that they were no match for them, they turned around and fled in all directions.
