The Choice Queen's

TCQ 65: Instructions

“Your Majesty, Consort Su, ah, Miss Su died by suicide in Cold Palace,” Wang Bi reported after a bodyguard told her at the gate.

Nangong Zirui who was discussing the matter of transferring the Su Family's treasure to the royal treasury with Mo Wei was instantly stunned. Mo Wei who had only learned of Su Min's matter from Nangong Zirui a moment ago was stunned. Su Min killed himself?

“Your Majesty, it seems that he cannot bear to suffer so would rather die.”

Nangong Zirui sighed. Although she gave way to Su Min, the woman would not appreciate it. Nangong Zirui had wanted Su Min to feel how miserable she was in the Cold Palace, so Nangong Zirui had given her the punishment of exile. She did not expect Su Min to choose to die so quickly, even ahead of her father who was still imprisoned.

“Don't tell this to the Stakeholder of the Sword,” said Nangong Zirui.

“Why?” Mo Wei asked out of curiosity.

“With that temperament of hers, she will definitely come to me and ask why Su Min killed herself.”

“What His Majesty suspects his death was not a deliberate suicide?”

“Hasimmon. If he intends to commit suicide, then that night he will do so, not having to wait until he is exiled to the Cold Palace.”

He had a belief that Su Min's death was not a death solely due to suicide. There are many possibilities.

Su Ren led Jinchuan his way, many people did not like him. It could be, someone who had once suffered from it took advantage of the situation of the fall of the Su Family and attacked Su Min for revenge.

“Where is the body now?” nangong Zirui asked Wang Bi.

“Have been sent to the Bureau of Civilization, Your Excellency.”

“Mo Wei, come with me.”

Then the three men went to the Bureau of Investigation. Su Min's already stiff body was covered in a white cloth.

There was a pungent smell once they arrived at the storage room of his corpse. The Bureau of Civil Service officers removed the white covering, revealing the condition of Su Min's body.

There's a sharp incision in the left wrist, right in the main vein. In addition to the rips and bruises on the head, the rest of the limbs showed no signs of torture. It's just that when the Bureau of Crime officers opened Su Min's body mouth, a pungent smell poured out like a foul smell and carrion.

“Didn't he kill himself? Why is his mouth so rotten?” mo Wei asked. He was surprised because Su Min's dead mouth could give off a very foul smell.

“Master, when found, Miss Su was already in lifeless condition with blood rushing down from her wrist. But when the autopsy was performed, we found something else that might have been the main cause of Miss Su's suicide, ” the officer explained.

Nangong Zirui had the officer explain.

“Your Majesty, we found a toxic substance inside Miss Su's body. The poison damaged his heart, lungs, and vocal cords. That's why his mouth smelled foul because the poison in the vocal cords spread to the oral cavity.”

“What poison?” asked Nangong Zirui.

“Answer, Your Grace. Purple Grass Poison. People who are exposed to this poison will suffer greatly every time they use emotions. The damaged vocal cords also made them unable to scream for help. In the end, the person will die because his heart and lungs are destroyed without being able to ask for help.”

Mo Wei shuddered in horror after the officer explained about the poison. Apparently, someone can be so cruel in killing. Eliminating lives by torturing to the point of forcing suicide was a very cruel method compared to executing with a sword.

He thought, how much grudge does the perpetrator have to torture Su Min to such an extent?

Nangong Zirui only gave a small nod. Cruelty like this, was an ordinary sight to him. Life in the palace is like this.

Every time you step, there will always be a danger that is ready to befall anytime and anywhere. This way of killing, can only be done by someone who has good planning.

“Your Highness, we also found another clue when we first arrived at Cold Palace,”.

“Say!”

“Nona Su wrote the word ‘jing’ on the floor with her blood. In addition, we also found a bottle of poison that was not far from where Miss Su.”'s body was

“Let the Supreme Court investigate. If the Sword Starter comes asking you guys, say that the word hint written by Su Min is ‘shen’, not ‘jing’.”

Despite not knowing the purpose of his King, the officer said, “We carry out the order, Your Majesty.”

Someone killed him in another way. Su Min is so smart, even to death he can still make people have trouble finding out who the killer is.

But since he wrote down the clues, it meant that the culprit was extremely dangerous. If it was just an ordinary servant, then he couldn't possibly write down a clue.

Nangong Zirui twisted his brain, thinking of the possible culprit. But if only based on the instructions said ‘jing’, when is the case revealed?

“Your Highness, why did His Majesty direct the word ‘shen’ to the Sword Stakeholder?” asked Mo Wei who was curious about the reason the King changed the direction of the clue.

Nangong Zirui just chuckled and he looked innocent at all.

“The person who provoked Su Min to the point of making him attack Xiao Feng was Shen Lihua. Let him collect the debt in his own way.”

“So, Your Majesty wants the Stakeholder of the Sword to think Miss Su wrote down the word ‘shen’ as a hint of the person who has spread fire and provoked it? Meanwhile, if the Stakeholder of the Sword trusted him, he would focus on finding the calculations to the Queen. Teaching a Queen a lesson requires careful planning and the Sword Bearer will be busy thinking about it. If he is busy, then His Majesty could use the opportunity to investigate his original clue!”

“Therefore, you must not do something that makes him suspicious,” said Nangong Zirui.

Mo Wei nodded excitedly. When he was given a heavy duty, he complained despite still carrying it out. When given a light task, he also complained and said that the King had half-intention in assigning it. Now that he was given another assignment, he was even so excited.

Mo Wei was indeed strange. If he was working for someone else, he might have been fired many times. But out of everyone there, only Nangong Zirui understood him and Mo Wei was very obedient to him. Whatever task is given must be carried out even though he often complains and protests.

Nangong Zirui took something from the closet. It was a long, flexible and shiny sword. When she showed it to Mo Wei, Mo Wei was immediately startled and her forehead wrinkled.

“Your Highness, what did Your Majesty take this girdle sword for?”

“Give this to Xiao Feng. Xingyu's sword was too heavy and he couldn't use it at high speed during an emergency. This sword is lighter and easier to disguise.”

Nangong Zirui reflected on his previous experience. Li Fengran seemed to have trouble using Xingyu Sword when fighting the assassins. He also did not spry and put it anywhere until Su Min had a chance to injure him.

If using a girdle sword, besides being lighter, it is also more practical. This sword can be tucked in the waist and the woman can carry it anywhere, and can remove it whenever needed.

Mo Wei's eyes twinkled. “What part of me is there too, Your Majesty? I want a new sword too! The sword you gave me was used a long time ago and I don't want to damage it.”

“Your sword is still good. What to replace it for?”

“So, no my part?”

Mo Wei's eyes dimmed as she realized there was no part of it. His heart was sad again. The king again chose love! If the Stakeholder Sword is given a new sword, then he should also get a new one. The king is unfair!

“If I knew, I wouldn't be here. Huh, Your Majesty favoritism again,” grunted as he turned to the side avoiding Nangong Zirui's gaze.

Nangong Zirui held back his laughter. This guard is getting more impatient and more difficult to control himself. He then took another sword from the closet, which was very nice and very sharp. Perhaps it was a sword made by the most skilled craftsmen.

“Already. Take this,” he said. He threw the sword at Mo Wei.

“Your Highness, there really is my part too?”

“If you don't want to, give it back to me.”

“Which items have been given where can be taken again. This is a gift from Your Majesty, I am certainly very happy to receive it. Your Majesty the best!”

Look at that expression! Just a moment ago he put on an annoyed and still grumbling face, protesting against Nangong Zirui's favoritism and unfairness. Now that he had received the same gift, his face immediately turned happy and his mouth became good at praising!

Nangong Zirui just rubbed it. There's no way he's just giving one. After all, before Li Fengran came, Mo Wei was a confidant who had been by his side for a dozen years. He also noticed his bodyguards, only that he had trouble showing his expression.

“So, do you still think I'm favoritism and unfair?”

“No, no. I mispronounced. His Majesty is so kind-hearted, Mo Wei as a subordinate is very grateful.”

“Stop that compliment. Now give this to the Sword Stakeholder.”

“Good, Your Highness.”
