If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 512 This is the result 1

Fu Jinyuan was a light sleeper to begin with, and when he heard a scream, he sat up suddenly.

Without waiting for the guards outside to speak, he rushed out of the interrogation room and came to the cell where Lu Qiufeng was imprisoned.

Lu Qiufeng sat cross-legged with his back to the prison door, his spine straight. From his back, one could not tell that he was dead.

When you walk closer, you'll see a pool of thick, sticky blood on the dirty ground.

He thrust a piece of the splinter into his neck, and all the blood drained from his body.

Fu Jinyuan stared at the wound on his neck. The knife was so accurate and fierce that it took a determination to die to stab him.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?" Fu Jinyuan's every word was filled with anger.

Wu Yang looked grim. "Your Highness, we were all staring at him. He has been in this position since he came in. We thought he was..."

"Your Highness, here is a blood letter he left behind." Gao Jian exclaimed.

Lu Qiufeng confessed in a blood letter all the crimes he had committed. He was the one who controlled and instigated everything, including bribing the prefect and the salt commissioner. He had killed many girls over the years and was planning to sell poisonous salt to the Western Regions.

All of this was his fault. He knew how serious his sins were, so he chose to commit suicide.

Fu Jinyuan looked at the letter written in blood, his chest heaving violently.

"Gao Jian, check his wounds to see if he committed suicide or was murdered." Fu Jinyuan ordered.

"Yes."

Gao Jian called two coroners who were good at examining corpses to carefully examine Lu Qiufeng's wounds and other injuries on her body.

"Your Highness, in addition to the fatal wound on her neck, Lu Qiufeng's fingers were also bitten, and her chest must have been hit hard."

There was a sound of hurried running.

Fu Jinyuan raised his eyes and looked at Guan Jin who was breathing heavily.

"Your Highness, Madam Lu is dead..." Guan Jin said this, and then he fell silent when he saw Lu Qiufeng lying lifeless on the ground.

"How did he die?" Fu Jinyuan asked in a deep voice.

Guan Jin: "He committed suicide by hanging himself."

Fu Jinyuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Send someone to protect Lu Rucheng and others, don't let them die too."

"Take care of this place." He strode out of the cell.

He had never been so depressed, so disheartened that he didn't want to say a word.

Holding Lu Qiufeng's confession letter tightly in his hand, he felt no joy at all.

In order to cover up for the person behind her, Lu Qiufeng would rather write a confession. Old Madam Lu would rather hang herself than live a decent and glorious life. This shows how powerful the person behind her is.

The answer was about to come out in his mind, but Fu Jinyuan still found it hard to believe.

He didn't want to believe it either.

Before he knew it, he had returned to where Shen Suian was.

I heard her voice giving orders to the servants.

"These are things Chao Ge'er will play with on the road. Don't put them at the bottom so they are easier to get."

"The prince's trunk is in the carriage in front."

"..."

Fu Jinyuan's heart, which had been soaked in ice water, gradually warmed up. His eyes fell on Shen Suian. In the sunlight, her face was as white as jade, with a faint blush, like peach blossoms blooming in spring. Her eyes were bright and clear, and when she saw him, they sparkled with a dazzling light.

"Husband, you're back!" Shen Suian came forward.

His face was full of heartache, "It's only been two days since I last saw you, how come you look haggard again?"

She pulled him into the house and told the maid, "Go prepare hot water for the prince to take a bath. Also, prepare braised pork and braised beef in soy sauce for the prince."

After entering the house, Fu Jinyuan held her tightly in his arms and took a deep breath into her neck.

Shen Sui'an didn't say anything, but just let him hold him quietly.

The moment she saw him appear just now, she realized that he was in a bad mood.

After being married to him for so many years, this was the first time she saw him look like this.

It's as if all hope is lost and there's no will to fight anymore.

Something must have happened to him.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Jinyuan finally calmed down.

After he washed away his tiredness, he lay down on the couch, holding Shen Sui'an with one hand, and whispered to her.

"Hong Shanhai was killed by me, and Lu Qiufeng was killed by someone else."

"I have replaced the entire prison with my own people. There was only a short period of time when I let the other party sneak in disguised as a servant."

"Lv Qiufeng pleaded guilty to everything."

So even if he knew that there must be someone behind Lu Qiufeng, he had no evidence.

"Is it her?" Fu Jinyuan asked in a hoarse voice.

Shen Suian couldn't give him an answer.

"Who are you looking for?" Fu Jinyuan asked again.

"Yi Lanxin, the first female official of the Southern Dynasty." Shen Sui'an whispered, "However, she was not found, and she may have left Salt Lake City."

On the day the mirage was broken, Salt Lake City was in chaos and no one noticed that a woman had anything to do with the mirage, so it was not surprising that she was able to find a way to leave Salt Lake City.

Fu Jinyuan sat up straight, "The Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting appeared in Salt Lake City?"

Shen Sui'an held his hand and said, "This does not mean that the mirage has anything to do with the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, do you want to write a letter to the Queen Mother? Just doubting and guessing in your heart will only deepen the misunderstanding."

"I will send a secret letter back to inform the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of everything that happened in Salt Lake City," said Fu Jinyuan.

He was never one to evade the situation. What happened in Salt Lake City, with so many lives lost, could not be covered up.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "My grandmother and I will go to Suzhou tomorrow. Please come back as soon as you have resolved the matter."

Fu Jinyuan stroked her temples, "Okay."

The next day, Shen Sui'an set out with the Empress Dowager, and she took Ruan Zhaoxia with her.

Zhao Jiuling stood behind Fu Jinyuan and saw him off. His eyes were only on Chao Ge'er, and he did not look at Ruan Zhaoxia who had been winking at him.

Shen Sui'an saw this scene and whispered a few words to Zhao Jiuling.

"Help the prince deal with those girls and follow his instructions."

Originally, she wanted to take Zhao Jiuling to Suzhou, but Fu Jinyuan needed his help with something. Some merchants had tampered with their accounts, and Zhao Jiuling had a photographic memory, so it was easier for him to find the flaws than for them.

"Okay." Zhao Jiuling nodded.

Fu Jinyuan said, "Be careful on the road and don't stop for too long."

"Yeah, you too." Shen Sui'an's eyes were gentle. She was only worried about his mood.

"I'm fine now." He whispered. He was just angry for a moment, but he would be fine once he figured it out.

Chao Ge'er was jumping around in his wet nurse's arms, and when he saw Fu Jinyuan coming, he reached out to hug him.

He is getting stronger and stronger now, and likes to be carried on someone's shoulders. Since his wet nurse is not strong enough, Chao Ge'er likes to ask Fu Jinyuan to carry him on his shoulders the most.

Fu Jinyuan took him over, let his son sit on his shoulders, and walked back and forth a few times.

Chao Ge'er laughed happily.

"Okay, let's go." Shen Sui'an held his son in his arms.

"Daddy will be back soon." Fu Jinyuan rubbed Chao Ge'er's head with tenderness in his eyes.

Chao Ge'er was reluctant to leave, as he hadn't played enough.

"Daddy...Daddy..." He called out Daddy clearly for the first time.

Fu Jinyuan was overjoyed and kissed him on the face, "Hey! Good son."
