Chapter 212 212. Mei Rui is Dead
"Merry is dead."

"what?"

Liu Xinning's complexion changed drastically, and she couldn't help standing up.

Didn't the people behind the scenes let Mei Rui wait for the news to listen to the arrangement?Why is it so sudden now?
"How did he die? Where's the dark guard? Didn't the dark guard keep watching? What did he say?"

Liu Xinning's barrage of questions made Chun Nuan more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"The prince is waiting in the main hall of the front yard. He brought the hidden guard to plead guilty, and said that he would explain to you personally."

After Chunnuan finished speaking, thinking of Xiao Muze's calm face, he suddenly felt a chill.

How could the extremely plain expression be more frightening than the furious expression?
Liu Xinning heard Xiao Muze came to tell him personally, tried to calm down, and then went to see him in the main hall of the front yard.

In the main courtyard of the front yard, a black figure was kneeling dejectedly.

After hearing footsteps, he looked up at Liu Xinning, and kowtowed deeply.

Liu Xinning paused, looked at the dark red on the dark guard's black clothes, and asked, "Punishment?"

"Yes, the subordinate did not do well, and has been punished according to the rules. Now I am here to plead guilty to the princess, and ask the princess to punish me again."

The dark guard said in a low voice, with obvious annoyance in his cold voice.

"It's not easy for an outsider to meddle in the rules of your house. But since you have already been punished, that's all."

Liu Xinning said calmly.

As an outsider, she is naturally not good at intervening in other people's houses to discipline the servants.

After all, nothing is perfect without rules.She intervened without authorization today, and Xiao Muze will not be able to control other people in the future.

"Please punish the princess." The hidden guard continued.

"I don't need to punish you. I'll tell your master later, and you can go to the medicine."

After Liu Xinning finished speaking, she walked towards the main hall.

She knew that with the level of Xiao Muze's secret guard, there must be a reason for not being able to save Mei Rui.

Therefore, she naturally will not punish her anymore.

In the main hall, Xiao Muze was contemplating.However, when he heard Liu Xinning's footsteps, he immediately stood up somewhat awkwardly.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, the secret guard has failed his duty."

"I see. Since you have punished the hidden guard, let him go to the medicine. Loyal people, you should treat him better."

After hearing Liu Xinning's words, Xiao Muze immediately asked Chun Nuan to inform the dark guard to leave to take medicine.

"What's going on exactly? Mei Rui only agreed to lure out the person behind the scenes yesterday. Why did he die today?" Liu Xinning asked.

It turned out that after Chunnuan went to tell Mei Rui about the family yesterday, Mei Rui burst into tears.

Although she said it fiercely, she still has feelings for her biological mother and brother.

Mei Rui is usually smart, how could she not know that it was because of her that her family died?
Especially after hearing Liu Xinning's arrangements for her family's funeral, she immediately expressed her opinion to Chun Nuan, saying that she would definitely help Liu Xinning to investigate the people behind the scenes.

Although Mei Rui also meant to save her own life, but in the end, she really planned to do things for Liu Xinning.

"Listen to me."

Xiao Muze told all the news he had learned from the hidden guard.

Mei Rui was given a holiday by Liu Xinning today, so she naturally had to go to visit the graves of her relatives first.

The servants of the Princess' Mansion died, and they were all buried in a cemetery outside the capital.Therefore, when Mei Rui went to pay a memorial service, she had to leave the city.

Although Liu Xinning didn't send anyone to follow, Xiao Muze's hidden guards were always watching.

Mei Rui arrived at the cemetery, and when she finished offering the tribute, she was secretly sad, but a carrier pigeon came.

Seeing the carrier pigeon, not only Mei Rui was nervous, but also the hidden guard was watching closely.

They all thought that someone behind the scenes was going to activate Mei Rui, so the hidden guard dared not act, for fear of attracting attention.

However, after Mei Rui took the note from the carrier pigeon's foot and read it, she didn't move for a long time.

At first, the dark guard thought that Mei Rui hadn't read the news, but later he was worried that Mei Rui's mind would change again.

So, after checking that there was no one around, he went to Mei Rui.

In the end, Mei Rui was found dead with a note in her hand.

The dark guard originally wanted to read the note, but in the blink of an eye, he found the dead carrier pigeon not far away.

He was alert and didn't dare to make a move.I just picked the note with my sword, and found that there was no word on it.

Therefore, the dark guard became more and more suspicious.Later, he called Ling Shiwu to check it out.

Sure enough, not only the note, but also the body of the carrier pigeon was covered with poison.

The purpose of this is obvious, not only to poison Mei Rui to death, but also to worry that someone will follow the carrier pigeons and find them.

Therefore, the pigeons were simply poisoned to death.

"That's not right. If the pigeons are covered with poison, aren't they afraid that the pigeons will be poisoned to death before they even reach their destination?"

Chun Nuan, who was listening next to her, blurted out again.

"Of course it's the same as in Xian'an County. It's the kind of poison that happens at regular intervals." Liu Xinning answered Chun Nuan's question casually.

"How long did it take for the dark guards to find out that Mei Rui was dead?"

"A moment or so."

"So, did Meirui get the letter and poisoned it a moment later? The person who poisoned him shouldn't be far away. After all, the pigeon also has the poison on it. If it's far away, I'm afraid it won't Can you control the time?" Liu Xinning murmured.

"Fifteen said that the person who poisoned put two different poisons on the note and the pigeon. The poison on the note was poisonous immediately. Therefore, Mei Rui was poisoned and died soon after touching the note. And the poison on the pigeon’s body is not released immediately. The pigeon may fly a longer distance. However, there is no way to determine where it is.”

After listening to Liu Xinning's analysis, Xiao Muze talked about Ling Shiwu's judgment.

"It doesn't make sense to be sure."

Liu Xinning sighed.

Now, all witnesses are dead and all leads are broken.The person behind is completely hidden.

"It's just that Mei Rui was overly sad, and died of heart and lung injuries. Let her be buried with her family."

After a long time, Liu Xinning sighed and told Chun Nuan.

Mei Rui is a child of the family, and her body deed is in her hands.Now, all you need to do is go to the government office to report.

This rhetoric makes sense, and the people in the government office must not be idle, so they have to come to check carefully.

"Yes."

Chun Nuan made the arrangements.

Since it was a heart and lung injury, it naturally had to meet the characteristics.

"Don't worry. I asked the people from Wenfeng Pavilion to check the news."

Xiao Muze looked at the dazed Liu Xinning, and quickly comforted her.

Although there may not be any news from Wenfeng Pavilion soon, but it can make Liu Xinning less anxious, right?
"it is good."

Liu Xinning smiled wryly.

She wanted to tell Xiao Muze that Wenfeng Pavilion should investigate the Fifth Prince.But I was worried that speaking rashly would arouse suspicion.

However, if she doesn't find out who is behind it, she really can't sleep or eat.
