After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 127 Sorrow

Yan Mobai ignored him and stared at the hairpin in his hand.

It’s Ning Miao’s!

It was the double-butterfly pearl and jade hairpin that Ning Miao often wore!

So, this body is......

Do not!

It can't be her.

He has sent Chi Feng to take her there. If he fails to catch up with her, Chi Feng will come back to report.

Chi Feng didn't come back, which meant that she had been sent back home safely.

So, it must not be her.

Even though he thought this, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

His gaze slowly shifted from the hairpin in his hand to the corpse in front of him.

His hair was burnt off, his face was charred, and his upper body clothes were burnt so that nothing could be seen, but it was clearly visible that he had been stabbed in the heart.

It was very deep, probably a fatal wound.

His gaze slowly moved down and landed on the corpse's hand.

The burnt hand seemed to be holding something.

He took her hand and pried it apart with trembling hands, and saw a half-burned hairpin. His pupils shrank violently again.

It was the sandalwood carved hairpin he gave to Ning Miao!

If the double butterfly pearl and jade hairpin I just mentioned was bought on the market, others might also have it, but this one......

This one was custom-made by him, and there is only one in the world!

There was a buzzing in his ears and his vision went blank, and he fell to the ground.

Liu Yongning and Yu Wen were both startled, and one on each side was ready to support him: "Master Yan."

Yan Mobai seemed not to hear anything. He stared at the charred corpse in front of him with bloodshot eyes, clutching a hairpin in one hand, his whole body trembling slightly.

Liu Yongning and Yu Wen were both frightened by his appearance.

The two looked at each other, and Yu Wen asked carefully again: "Master Yan, do you know the deceased?"

Yan Mobai seemed not to hear.

Yu Wen called out twice more: "Master Yan, Master Yan..."

Yan Mobai came back to his senses with a pale face, his eyes turned around empty, and his voice was hoarse: "She is my...my...eldest sister-in-law."

Yu Wen and Liu Yongning were both shocked.

The two looked at each other again, and Yu Wen stepped out to report to Emperor Zhaoqing.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yan said the deceased was his eldest sister-in-law."

The words came like thunder out of the blue, exploding in everyone's ears and shocking the entire audience.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis’s Mansion?

Many people remembered the woman who brought rouge to the palace banquet today.

The queen was even more shocked: "She..."

How could she be in Haitang Palace? How could she die here?

Emperor Zhaoqing frowned and walked towards the darkroom.

Naturally, the others hurriedly followed behind.

As soon as the group arrived at the door, they heard Yan Mobai's sudden shrill roar: "Don't come in!"

That roar sounded like that of a wounded beast.

Everyone was shocked, including Emperor Zhaoqing.

His feet stopped at the door.

But the door had been burned and was wide open. Even if he didn't come in, he could still see the scene in the darkroom from the door.

He saw the woman's charred body with her legs bent and her lower limbs spread wide open. He saw Yan Mobai taking off his outer robe and covering the lower half of the corpse with it.

Only then did he step in.

Everyone followed along.

Although the lower half of the corpse was covered by the black robe, everyone was still shocked when they saw the upper half of the corpse.

It was unrecognizable and horrific.

What is even more terrifying is Yan Mobai.

His eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, as if his eyeballs had been punctured and were full of blood. His face was as pale as paper, with veins bulging on his forehead, his facial features distorted, and he looked extremely hideous.

Emperor Zhaoqing was a little frightened by his appearance.

No one dared to come forward or say a word.

Everyone stood there watching, including Emperor Zhaoqing.

Looking at Yan Mobai kneeling beside the charred corpse, watching him hand the two hairpins in his hand to Liu Yongning who was nearby like a puppet.

Liu Yongning quickly took it.

This is the evidence at the scene.

Seeing Yan Mobai helping the charred upper body of the corpse sit up, Yu Wen thought he was going to start the autopsy and immediately squatted down to help.

But he was waved away by Yan Mobai.

Yu Wen was knocked to the ground again.

Yu Wen was speechless and looked at Emperor Zhaoqing.

Seeing that Emperor Zhaoqing didn't say anything, he could only get up silently and didn't dare to help again.

Everyone continued to watch as Yan Mobai checked the charred corpse's back.

Because it was lying flat on the ground when it was burned, even though the front was completely burnt, there were still some places on the back that were not burned, and there was even some clothing left.

Everyone watched as Yan Mobai tore off the clothes with trembling hands and threw them aside, and watched him lower his eyes to take a closer look at the charred corpse's back.

Because he frowned and lowered his head, no one could see the expression on his face or the changing emotions in his eyes.

He looked at it for a while and suddenly put the charred corpse back on the ground and raised his head.

Everyone thought he was going to look at the burnt beams above his head, but the next moment they realized that was not the case. He was looking up at the sky with his eyes closed.

Yes, eyes closed.

You can see his rolling Adam's apple and the blue veins on his neck.

No one knows what kind of mental journey he has gone through, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Everyone just felt that they had never seen him so emotional.

Fortunately, everyone knows that it was his sister-in-law who died. If people didn’t know, they would have thought that it was someone very important to him who died.

It seems that the rumors cannot be fully trusted.

Rumor has it that he is not close to any of his relatives in the mansion, and even regards them as enemies. Now it seems that he still cares about his brothers and sisters very much, and even his eldest brother's wife cares so much about him.

Prince Ning glanced at Emperor Zhaoqing, then looked at everyone's reactions and frowned slightly.

He stepped forward, gently patted Yan Mobai's shoulder, and squeezed it as a reminder: "My condolences."

Yan Mobai slowly opened his eyes.

The scarlet in his eyes had faded, leaving only a hint of red in the corners of his eyes.

He propped himself up from the ground. Maybe it was because his feet were numb from kneeling for too long, or because his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, but his legs went limp and he almost fell.

Fortunately, Prince Ning, who was standing beside him, was quick to catch him and prevent him from falling.

"Please check it, my two lords. I am a relative and should avoid suspicion." Yan Mobai said in a hoarse voice.

Liu Yongning and Yu Wen nodded, squatted down and began to examine the body.

Meanwhile, Prince Kang regained consciousness under the stimulation of the imperial physician's silver needles.

"Your Highness, you are awake." The imperial physician said happily.

Shu Fei hurried forward and asked him with red eyes: "Li'er, what happened? How did you become like this?"

His memories slowly returned, and King Kang suddenly sat up with a start.

He was actually plotted against by that woman Ning Miao!

He grabbed Shu Fei's hand and said, "Where's Ning Miao? Where's Ling Ling?"

Shu Fei shook her head with tears in her eyes.

King Kang frowned, his face was in pain, but he didn't care. He just threw off the quilt and got off the bed, put on his shoes, and without even bothering to take them off, he could not wait to leave the side hall.

Seeing the palace servants kneeling in the yard, he felt a little confused.

Not knowing what had happened, but not bothering to ask, he went straight to the darkroom.

He was horrified to see the darkroom in such a mess, obviously having been in a fire.

He walked into the darkroom with unsteady steps and found that it was full of people, including his father.

"Father..."

Before he could even say anything, he saw a figure walking towards him quickly. The man in black clothes was Yan Mobai.

He rushed straight to him and punched him in the face.
