Chapter 325
The atmosphere in the house was extremely tense, as if an invisible storm was brewing.
Shangguan Ziling was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened. Her hand unconsciously clenched the bloody dagger. Blood dripped down the blade, blooming into beautiful blood flowers on the cold floor.
Yun Canghai's once friendly but now cold face kept flashing before her eyes. Her heart was filled with confusion and pain. She didn't understand why it turned out like this? ?
Suddenly, the noise outside the house broke the brief silence.
A group of people dressed in official uniforms rushed in, their faces full of seriousness and tension.
Shangguan Ziling hadn't reacted yet. She was holding Yun Canghai's head in her hand and hadn't recovered from the shock. At this moment, the door was opened and Shuntian Prefecture Governor Pang Bowu walked in with the yamen runners. When the people heard that there were clues about the beheading case, they followed them.
What they saw was Shangguan Ziling holding a dagger in one hand and a human head in the other. The scene was terrifyingly quiet.
However, someone outside shouted, "Ah! The murderer, she is the murderer."
The little fat man in the space said anxiously: "Master, throw away the head!"
Shangguan Ziling came to her senses and her heart sank. This was a conspiracy against her.
Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath and looked around, and sure enough, the man in black and the woman were gone.
Shangguan Ziling looked down at Yun Canghai's head, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said heavily: "Master Pang, it is not what you see."
Pang Bo Wuyu bowed and said seriously: "Regent Princess, please go to Shuntian Prefecture to explain."
Shangguan Ziling frowned and said: "Let me say it again, Uncle Yun, I didn't kill him."
Only then did Pang Boxu see clearly that the head in Shangguan Ziling's hand was that of General Yun "Yun Canghai", and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Pang Bowu immediately said: "Go to the General's Mansion to notify them."
Shangguan Ziling looked at the people at the gate, pointing at her, and knew that something might be wrong. She wanted to leave in a hurry, but now she was afraid it would be difficult for her to escape.
Yun Youyou squeezed in from the crowd and saw her father's head being held in Shangguan Ziling's hand. She was stunned for a moment. Tears suddenly flowed out and she murmured, "Dad."
Shangguan Ziling immediately put down the head in her hand and stammered: "Youyou, sister-in-law, that, it's not what you see, it's not me".
Yun Youyou looked at Shangguan Ziling coldly and said, "It's not you? Then why is my father's head in your hand? If I wasn't bored, I would have asked Lu'er to accompany me out for a walk. I heard there are clues to the beheading case here, so I came here to see it with my own eyes. Do you still want to hide it from me?"
Shangguan Ziling felt that she really had no way to explain herself and was extremely aggrieved. Was this the purpose of those men in black?
"It's her! She is the murderer in the beheading case. Look at the head in her hand." Someone in the crowd suddenly pointed at Shangguan Ziling and shouted.
This voice was like a sharp knife, piercing Shangguan Ziling's heart again. Shangguan Ziling could not help but take a few steps back, feeling heavy-hearted.
"You misunderstood, I..." Shangguan Ziling wanted to explain, but her voice was choked in her throat and could not come out.
"Master Pang, please believe me, I really didn't..." Shangguan Ziling's voice was filled with anxiety, "It's not me..."
"Princess," Pang Bowu interrupted her, "The government handles cases with great care, and requires evidence. Please, Princess Regent, please follow me!"
Suddenly, Yun Youyou rushed to Shangguan Ziling like crazy, grabbed her clothes, shook her, and shouted loudly: "Why, why did you kill my father?"
Shangguan Ziling said: "No, Youyou, calm down, you are still pregnant, listen to my explanation."
"I hate you, I hate you, Shangguan Ziling, I hate you!" Yun Youyou yelled loudly, and then a loud slap fell on Shangguan Ziling's face. Shangguan Ziling was slapped hard.
Shangguan Ziling's body stiffened. This was the first time she was slapped in public.
The little fat boy was shocked and said, "Master, are you okay?"
Yun Youyou slapped someone and her stomach started to hurt. Her face turned paler and her body was shaking. Lu'er hurried forward to support Yun Youyou and said, "Madam, what happened to you? Don't get excited and take care of yourself."
Yun Youyou said in pain: "Lu'er, help me go back to find a doctor, my stomach hurts."
When Lu'er heard this, she became anxious, "Princess Regent, please take a look at our young lady. The child she is carrying is your Shangguan family's child!"
As soon as Shangguan Ziling saw Yun Youyou, she knew she was having a miscarriage. She stretched out her hand, but Yun Youyou slapped it away and said, "I don't want you to see it, Lu'er, help me go see a doctor."
Lu'er had no choice but to help Yun Youyou leave.
Shangguan Ziling wanted to step forward to stop Yun Youyou, but was stopped by Pang Boyu. Shangguan Ziling said coldly: "Get out of the way."
Pang Bowu said respectfully: "I'm sorry, I can't do that. Please come with me, Princess."
Shangguan Ziling put down the head, leaped up, and landed next to Yun Youyou. She took out the spiritual spring water and forced her to drink it.
Yun Youyou was very uncooperative and kept struggling. Lu'er said, "Lord Pang, why don't you stop the Regent Princess? My young lady is pregnant. If anything happens to her, not only the Shangguan Mansion, but even the General's Mansion will not give up."
Pang Boxu felt a little overwhelmed and stepped forward and said, "Princess, please stop it now."
"Get out of the way, I'm saving her."
Pang Boyu shook his head and asked the bailiffs to separate them by force.
Yun Youyou was in tears. She took one look at her father's body and suddenly her eyes went dark and she fainted.
"Young Madam," Lu'er said anxiously.
Everyone saw that Shangguan Ziling forced Yun Youyou to drink something, which caused Yun Youyou to faint, and they all accused Shangguan Ziling of being vicious.
Shangguan Ziling had a gloomy face and wanted to continue diagnosing Yun Youyou, but was stopped by the yamen runners.
Pang Bowu said sternly: "Princess, please come with me and don't force me to attack you."
The little fat man in the space shouted: "These idiots have misunderstood the master. Master, these bailiffs are no match for you. If you leave, they can't do anything to you."
