His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 190: Lin Zhou - Han Xiang's Letters 1

Yao Ling felt a headache coming, because this matter involved the three kingdom ah~ Yao Ling could feel that they would be in big trouble soon if they didn't handle this case carefully.

Their plan didn't involve killing Han Xiang because of the ugly aftermath, but they still ended up in trouble.

Yao Ying and Lin Jian quickly came inside the room when they received the sad and shocking news.

All of them were waiting for Yao Ling's autopsy result with an uneasy feeling all the time.

Yao Ling confirmed that the blood letter was indeed written by Han Xiang.

Han Xiang bit her own index finger and the wound was still there, but the blood had dried up.

The wound matched Han Xiang's teeth mark.

This letter was a hot potato to all of them...

General Hu knew that he was at disadvantage at Lin Zhou, because it wasn't his own kingdom and he couldn't dispatch his men to seek help.

It would attract too much attention and he didn't want to risk that.

Besides, after reading his own letter, he felt like he owed the princess. She didn't have to give him a way out and yet, she did.

She remembered him even before she took her last breath.

He could only seek help from Yao Ling's party and go along with them, after all, he still didn't want to reveal his identity.

However, judging from how Yao Ling did the autopsy to Han Xiang's corpse, he couldn't conceal his identity and Han Xiang's for long anymore.

If he knew that they already knew about his identity from the start, he would probably vomit blood.

He disguised himself for nothing ah~.

Yao Ling gave Xiao Yu a vial and told her to make Xiao Fang smell it, so it would make her wake up.

She knew Xiao Yu would do her job well, thus, she didn't pay more attention to them.

After that, Yao Ling carefully took a look at Han Xiang's body at the inner chamber of the room and she didn't let the men come in, because she wanted to protect Han Xiang's last dignity.

She wasn't going to let them see her body.

General Hu was against it at first, because he didn't know whether he could trust Yao Ling with this matter.

Yao Ling merely said, "It's up to Hu Gong Zi, but to get more clues, it's better if we do the autopsy as soon as possible. If other people find out about this, I reckon this matter will be taken to the local magistrate."

Yao Ling didn't try to push General Hu to let her check the body even though she was desperate.

She maintained her calmness despite her agitation.

The more she looked indifferent, the more General Hu would believe that she was a neutral party and wouldn't sabotage the result.

After a few moments of contemplation, General Hu nodded his agreement and let Yao Ling do the autopsy.

He couldn't let this matter spread out before he found out the truth and if this involved the local magistrate, this matter would blow out of proportion and he couldn't risk that.

His life was on the line, after all.

Yao Ling found out that Han Xiang was drinking a poison as her suicide method and she searched for the trace, trying to find out where the poison came from.
