FULL NOVELXO Chapter 37
The Vanished Soul
In the bedroom.
Princess Fenghe’s corpse had been dealt with. The blood on her body had been cleaned and placed on the bed.
The ground, the table, and the blood book remained the same. The scene was well protected.
The Crown Prince stood at the side and looked at the dead Princess Fenghe expressionlessly. He was very angry. Although he had easily suppressed Feng Zhengyi and the others outside just now, he was actually under great pressure.
He could not solve this case and investigate this matter.
It was calm now. There was no storm in the court. The censors were wilting like frosted eggplants. When the time came, their combat strength would break through the horizon. The storm that erupted would be even stronger than before.
If that was the case, there was only one way left. A body check! Only then could he get out of this storm and turn passive into active.
Clothes were not that easy to take off. He was the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the heir to the throne. When the storm had just risen, it had been verified by a secret technique in the palace. The Grand Tutor verified it again. If there was a third time, it would be a fatal blow to his prestige and ability!
This path could not be taken no matter what.
“You have a lead?”
Zhang Ronghua stepped forward and sized her up. She did not look poisoned. The wound on her right wrist did not look like it had been cut by someone else. His thoughts raced. Was it really suicide?
He didn’t believe it!
It had been confirmed that the Crown Prince was a man. This matter was clearly a trap. The mastermind was making a move.
Thinking of this, he secretly used his Clear Spirit Eyes to seriously check her corpse again.
“Where’s the soul?”
This Eye Technique had already been cultivated to the Technique Close to the Dao Realm. It was powerful and had never failed. The Crown Prince’s time did not count. He had the protection of the Great Xia Kingdom’s Dynasty Fate.
No matter how strong the secret technique was, it could not compare to the Dynasty Fate Dragon Qi.
She was only the princess of a small country, not in the Nanman Kingdom. Taking a step back, even in the Nanman Kingdom, the fate of a small country could not stop it. Moreover, she was dead, like a naked beauty.
The mysteries of the soul were invisible to the naked eye.
For those with weak physiques, their souls would quickly dissipate after death. For those with powerful physiques or fates, their souls would exist for a period of time after death.
If she was a Soul Master, she could still reincarnate.
Although she was a woman, she was still the princess of a country. From the time of her death, it was no more than four hours. She should not dissipate in such a short period of time.
Even if it dissipated, there would be a trace of soul aura left on her body.
But now it was clean. The corpse was a corpse. There was no aura of a soul. It was as if her soul had been sucked out or there was none at all.
If he had wondered just now if the mastermind had attacked, he was now completely confident that they had already attacked.
He inadvertently glanced at Crown Prince Fengyi and Feng Zhengyi.
His heart shrank.
The former actually did not have a soul, but he was still alive. Where had his soul gone? There was only one explanation. The real Crown Prince Fengyi was already dead! The person in front of him was an impostor or a corpse with someone else’s soul hidden in his body. No wonder he had refused to speak when facing the Crown Prince’s threat just now. He would rather risk the Nanman Kingdom than apologize. Everything made sense.
Only an outsider wouldn’t care if they died, let alone if the country was destroyed.
The latter’s soul was with him and he had not been swapped. His identity was innocent.
With an answer, he retracted his Clear Spirit Eyes and shook his head. “No!”
Without batting an eyelid, he signaled to the Crown Prince. After interacting with him for so long, the Crown Prince knew him very well and knew what he meant. There were too many people to talk about.
He looked at Lu Zhantang and ordered, “Lock down this place. Without my orders, no one is allowed to leave!” contemporary romance
Crown Prince Fengyi pointed at him angrily. “You want to imprison us here?”
Bang!
The Crown Prince kicked him to the ground and said coldly, “Watch your status. If you dare to treat me like this again, it won’t be as simple as a kick!”
He left with his men.
They left the Qinghua Hall.
Pei Caihua bade farewell and left. He still had to return to the palace to report. The Crown Prince asked him to tell his father that he would arrive later.
He desperately wanted to know what clues Zhang Ronghua had found, but he was still on the way. If someone heard him and alerted them, it would complicate things and make it even harder to solve the case.
He suppressed this thought and returned to the East Palace.
Xuanhe Hall.
Qing’er and Shuang’er guarded the hall door. Zheng Fugui and the others were around. Even if someone wanted to approach, they could not.
“What did you find?”
“Princess Fenghe was a living dead!”
The Crown Prince frowned in confusion. Zhang Ronghua did not ask him to wait long. He continued, “Crown Prince Fengyi was also dead. Their souls were long gone.”
He explained his guess.
After hearing this, the Crown Prince looked shocked. He was really shocked. He did not expect the mastermind to set up such a huge trap and kill them without a word.
No wonder Crown Prince Fengyi’s performance was abnormal. He ignored the safety of the Nanman Kingdom and provoked him one after another. Before this, he thought that Crown Prince Fengyi’s heart ached for his sister and that was why he was like this.
Now that he looked at it, including the deaths of Princess Fenghe and what he had just done, it looked like the mastermind’s method of forcing him to do a physical examination and prove himself.
At this moment, the hall door opened. Qing’er entered and closed the hall door. She walked over quickly and muttered a few words in the Crown Prince’s ear before waiting at the side.
“The people I arranged previously also found some clues. When they first checked into Qinghua Hall, they smelled like special elk. It was faint and almost undetectable, but I still found it from something else.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Split up. Bring Zheng Fugui in disguise and hide in the Qinghua Hall. I have a feeling that since they chose to attack, they won’t stop! Today’s matter was suppressed by me. If there are no follow-up methods, Princess Fenghe will have put on this show for nothing. Keep an eye on the Crown Prince. He should make a move in the near future. I’ll continue to order people to investigate and track the fragrance of the elk.”
Zhang Ronghua agreed. Just as he turned to leave, the Crown Prince’s voice sounded again. “Be careful!”
He turned around.
“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!”
When the hall door closed, Qing’er couldn’t wait to ask, “Does Your Highness have any clues?”
“Yes.”
A cold light flickered in his eyes, containing terrifying killing intent. “I want to completely eliminate him this time!”
He gave the order.
“Follow me into the palace!”
…
They changed into plain clothes.
Although Zheng Fugui was simple-minded, he knew the seriousness of the matter. He only brought his eyes and not his mouth. If his cousin did not speak, he would not ask a word.
Zheng Ronghua bought some disguise materials. They were very common and could be obtained with some money.
He led his cousin to a dead end and met his puzzled gaze. He mixed the things and disguised him. Then he disguised himself with an ordinary face.
“Cousin, you have such skills?”
