I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 254 Revenge for the Husband

The house was hung with red lanterns, and the gates were wide open.

In front of the bridal cabinet, Tian Qing lay in a pool of blood, her right fist clenched. Lu Mingyang sat on the ground, stunned, her blood soaking beneath her crimson dress. Tian's mother lay on top of him, wailing.

Soon, people from Jingzhao Yin, Dali Temple, and Chengyang Marquis's Mansion rushed over. Jingzhao Yin was summoned by the person who reported the incident to the authorities, and Dali Temple somehow got the news.

The troubled Jingzhao Yin saw the Dali Temple Minister and humbly asked the Dali Temple to perform an autopsy. Unusually, the Dali Temple Minister did not refuse and ordered the bailiffs to do the work.

The bailiffs came forward to hold up Tian's mother, who was nearly fainting from crying, and to investigate the cause of death. The Dali Temple official came forward to take notes. She glanced at the Lu siblings, who were guarding the door, unable to enter, and asked Lu Mingyang, "When did the fourth lady discover the deceased?"

Lu Mingyang looked up, his face pale. "My husband was coughing up blood, so I went out to get a doctor. I didn't expect to see this when I came back."

The Dali Temple Secretary looked at the servants outside the door and asked in confusion, "Today is your wedding night. Why would the Fourth Young Lady go and ask for the doctor herself?"

Lu Mingyang said, "My husband didn't want to worry my mother-in-law, so he didn't alert anyone else."

Mother Tian's eyes suddenly widened in grief. She looked at Lu Mingyang and rushed over frantically, "You jinx! Return my son's life to me."

The sound of slapping hit Lu Mingyang. Outside the door, Lu Mingze wanted to go forward, but Lu Mingyuan stopped him. Just as he was about to go in, a black shadow floated past him.

Chu Mingzheng pulled Tian's mother away, picked up the woman on the ground, and held her in his arms.

Mother Tian fell to the ground, watching this scene, and cursed madly: "You two dogs, give me back my son's life."

Immediately, two yamen runners came forward and arrested Tian's mother and took her away.

The coroner opened the deceased's right hand, took out a jade belt buckle, and hurriedly presented it to the Dali Temple Minister: "Sir, please take a look."

Lu Mingyang looked in the direction of the voice and his head exploded.

It is Chu Mingzheng’s jade belt buckle.

At the beginning, the Queen Mother ordered the Imperial Clothing Bureau to make clothes for Prince Ningyuan. She did everything herself and personally selected the finest jade materials to make the jade belt. Everyone in the Imperial Clothing Bureau knew about it.

Lu Mingyang let out a whimpering laugh, pushed away the man who was giving her warmth, and asked coldly, "Where were you just now?"

"Great..."

"Where are you, I ask?"

With an angry roar, Lu Mingyang pulled out the silver plum blossom hairpin on his head and inserted it into the unprotected chest.

"Your Highness!" Everyone was shocked.

Pei Mian rushed in, supported Chu Mingzheng, and angrily said, "Jingzhao Yin, why don't you arrest the murderer quickly?"

"Yes!" Jingzhao Yin stepped into the room tremblingly.

"Wait!"

Feeling dizzy, Chu Mingzheng looked in astonishment at the woman who wanted him dead. Their eyes met, and Lu Mingyang looked away in hatred, turning around and kneeling.

"Sir, I am suing Prince Ningyuan for murdering my husband. I beg you to seek justice for me."

The Jingzhao Yin trembled with fear and pointed to the Dali Temple official standing beside him, pleading, "Wang... Oh, no, Miss Lu, please don't kneel before me. The Dali Temple official is here, you must seek justice from him."

Lu Mingyang knelt and moved, leaning forward and kowtowed, saying loudly again, "I beg you, sir, to uphold justice for me and apprehend the murderer, Prince Ningyuan."

Seeing the resolute back, Chu Mingzheng's blood rushed up, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you must hold on." It was just a silver hairpin. How deep could it have pierced to hurt someone so badly?

The silver hairpin was very close to his heart, so Pei Mian didn't dare to move. He picked up Chu Mingzheng and gently placed him on the bed, then ordered someone to call a doctor. Lu Mingze left early.

"Stop talking nonsense," the Dali Temple official said in a pretentious tone, then asked, "Are you sure the jade belt buckle belongs to His Royal Highness Prince Ningyuan?"

Lu Mingyang stood up straight and said resolutely, "I am sure."

"What a joke!" Pei Mian said angrily, "With your highness's skills, killing people is a piece of cake. Even if I kill you all, there won't be a trace left."

The Grand Court official bowed and said, "Whether it is right or not, Your Majesty will make the final decision. I will only enforce the law impartially and report the case to Your Majesty."

After saying that, he took everyone from the Dali Temple away.

Tian's mother cried and refused to let anyone take her son with them, and chased after him.

Jingzhao Yin retreated silently and slipped out.

Lu Mingyuan went in and helped his sister up, saying in a panic, "Yang'er, don't worry. The murderer can't be His Highness."

"I saw someone!" Lu Mingyang said with a smile, "When I came back, I saw a familiar figure in the alley, but I didn't react at the time."

Lu Mingyuan was stunned. She had only guessed at first, but now she was even more confused.

Not long after, Lu Mingze brought Leng Lingfeng.

Leng Lingfeng looked at Lu Mingyang in surprise, sat down beside the bed, sealed Chu Mingzheng's heart meridian with a silver needle, and pulled out the hairpin. Lu Mingyang glanced at him and walked out silently.

When the moon is full, people have no soul.
