After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 210 Please mourn for your highness

Putting the pigeon on the table beside him, Yan Mobai deftly took out the rolled note from the small bamboo tube.

Unfold.

When he saw the black words on the paper, his pupils narrowed.

Ning Miao didn't even bother to wipe himself off, and kept looking at him: "Was it sent by Guard Red and Guard Blue?"

"Yeah, it's from Chifeng."

"What's the matter?"

"It is said that Princess Ning was watching a play at Nianchu Liyuan at night. The beam in the private room suddenly broke, and the private room collapsed. Princess Ning died."

Ning Miao was shocked.

Princess Ning was crushed to death?

Yuan Lan's smiling face appeared in front of me.

This was too sudden.

"Was it man-made or an accident?" Ning Miao asked.

Yan Mobai put away the note: "Preliminary opinion is that it was an accident. It is said that the beam has been eaten away by termites."

Ning Miao pursed her lips.

Yan Mobai came to the couch, pulled the quilt around her, wrapped her tighter, then leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips.

"I'm going down the mountain."

Ning Miao nodded.

She knew that given his relationship with Prince Ning, he should be there as soon as possible when something so big happened.

Moreover, Princess Ning is not an ordinary person. Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, the Dali Temple will definitely intervene in the investigation.

Yan Mobai looked at her deeply, stood up, walked to the table, picked up the human skin mask on the table, quickly put it on his face, and quickly walked out of the room.

The door was closed, the footsteps disappeared, and the night in the mountains returned to silence.

Ning Miao sat on the couch, wrapped in the quilt, in a daze.

-

It was already mid-morning when Yan Mobai rode back to the capital.

He first went to a secluded place, changed into his own clothes, and then rode straight to the scene of the accident, Nianchu Liyuan.

The opera house has been closed and many people are cleaning up the collapsed site.

He went to the person in charge to find out about the situation and learned that Song Xiao had brought people from the Dali Temple to investigate the scene.

The broken beam that was eaten by termites had also been taken to the Dali Temple.

At that time, there were only Princess Ning and her personal maid Hanxiang in the private room. Princess Ning was hit on the head and died on the spot, while Hanxiang was crushed by the collapsed bricks and stones and was also seriously injured.

Yan Mobai went to the scene to check it out again.

Nothing was found.

He returned to the Dali Temple.

Song Xiao reported to him the findings in detail.

Including their autopsy, on-site investigation, interrogation of Hanxiang, and investigation of other people who were present at the time.

"So, it was indeed an accident?" Yan Mobai asked.

Song Xiao nodded: "It was indeed an accident."

Yan Mobai went to Prince Ning's Mansion.

The Ning Wang Mansion was already covered in white mourning, and a mourning hall had been set up.

In the mourning hall, he saw Prince Ning.

Prince Ning knelt beside the coffin of Princess Ning in a daze, his head leaning against the coffin, his hair was disheveled, his face was haggard, his eyes were red, and his clothes were covered in dust and dirt.

Song Xiao said that after the accident, Prince Ning quickly went to the Pear Garden after learning the news. Then, like a madman, he joined everyone in searching for Princess Ning among the collapsed bricks and stones. When he saw the body of Princess Ning, he hugged her in his arms and cried sadly.

Yan Mobai pursed his lips slightly, walked forward, paid his respects to the coffin, and then came to Prince Ning.

"Your Highness."

King Ning raised his eyes in a daze and looked at him with red eyes.

It seemed to take a while before I recognized him.

He spoke in a hoarse voice: "You are here."

"I was out on some official business yesterday, and I heard the bad news when I came back early in the morning. I have already talked to Shaoqing Song about the situation, and he said it was an accident." Yan Mobai looked at him and said.

Prince Ning's tears immediately flowed out, but he said nothing.

Yan Mobai pursed his lips and said, "God is jealous of beauty. Please accept my condolences, Your Highness."

Prince Ning's eyes were red as he shook his head: "It's too sudden. I can't accept it..."

"I always thought we had a long time to live, but who knew... I didn't even have a child with her..."

Yan Mobai looked at him.

After a moment of silence, he reached out to help him: "Your Highness, the ground is cold."

Prince Ning pushed his hand away: "It's okay."

Seeing that he was determined, Yan Mobai did not force him.

People came to pay their respects one after another, and Yan Mobai left the mourning hall.

He went to see Ning Wangfei's maid Hanxiang, who was lying on the couch with multiple injuries.

The result of the question was similar to what Song Xiao told him.

Princess Ning went to Nianchu Liyuan to listen to opera on a whim. The private room she sat in was also chosen on the spur of the moment after she arrived at the Liyuan. There was no human intervention involved.

-

When Yan Mobai returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Chi Feng and Lan Ying reported some details of the incident to him.

After learning the news last night, they both went to the scene.

What I saw was basically the same as what Song Xiao said.

Yan Mobai said nothing and asked the two to prepare water for bathing.

Sitting in the bathtub, his whole body wrapped in hot water, Yan Mobai leaned his head on the edge of the tub and slightly closed his eyes.

He recalled some things from his childhood.

He recalled the time when he was sold to a dog fighting arena by his mother and he tried to escape but was beaten by the people in the arena until he was almost dead.

He recalled his first meeting with King Ning.

He was fighting with several vicious dogs. He was covered in wounds and exhausted. However, the dogs became more manic and their fighting power increased greatly when they smelled the blood on him.

Just when he thought he was going to die at the hands of these vicious dogs, King Ning appeared.

Prince Ning's guards fired several darts, and several vicious dogs that pounced on him were killed on the spot.

Prince Ning stood on the viewing platform. Despite his small stature, he had a strong aura. He pointed at him and said loudly, "How much does he cost? This prince wants to redeem him!"

At that moment, he felt that the childish voice was the most beautiful sound in the world.

That year, he was five years old and Prince Ning was seven years old.

-

Five days later, Princess Ning's funeral was held.

Prince Ning gave her a grand funeral with the highest standards.

At the funeral, Yan Mobai saw the Yuan brothers and sisters who had rushed back from the border, all of them looking exhausted and haggard.

After the funeral, Yan Mobai was returning home when his car was stopped by someone on the way.

It’s Yuan Ziyan.

"I would like to invite Lord Yan to have a cup of tea. Would you do me the honor?" Yuan Ziyan stood outside the carriage, neither humble nor arrogant.

Yan Mobai knew why she came, so he said nothing and got off the carriage.

The two went to a teahouse nearby.

The aroma of tea wafted in the air as they sat facing each other.

Yuan Ziyan took a sip of tea from the cup and looked at Yan Mobai.

"At that time, I helped you to act in front of Madam Ning and accepted your sister and brother-in-law's matchmaking for us. I said that you owed me a favor. I wonder if you still remember it?"

Yan Mobai nodded: "Of course I remember."

"Now, I want you to repay this favor." Yuan Ziyan said.

Yan Mobai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his eyes to drink tea: "I wonder if Miss Yuan has any instructions?"

"Please tell me the truth, sir. How did my sister die?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

Yan Mobai's hand holding the cup paused slightly.

He raised his eyes and said, "Do you suspect there is something else behind the death of Princess Ning?"

"No, I just want to know if it was really an accident. I believe you, sir, and want to hear you tell me in person." Yuan Ziyan stared into his eyes.
