164. What A Miserable Death?

Mo Yanzhi did not understand what Han Tingxuan meant.

"What?" What exercise?

Han Tingxuan said solemnly, "Yanzhi, you are starting to show. The baby will grow bigger and bigger. You should spend more time walking, which will help when you give birth."

"I know this," Mo Yanzhi smiled. "Hubby, don't worry. I know, but I have kept it in mind."

Han Tingxuan sat down on the bed with Mo Yanzhi in his arms.

"Yanzhi, what a relief that you know. By the way, do you know how often difficult birth occurs to a pregnant she-man? “

Mo Yanzhi paused for a moment and said, "There are a lot of she-man who die in childbirth every year."

“What?!” Han Tingxuan was startled. "Then…"

Mo Yanzhi smiled. "Hubby, don't worry. Those she-men who were in difficult childbirth were mostly physically unhealthy. There's no problem with someone like me."

Han Tingxuan was still worried. "We will get a good midwife for you."

"Actually…" Mo Yanzhi hesitated and said, "Actually, Male wife Liu is very experienced in delivering baby. He has delivered many children.”

"Male wife Liu?" Han Tingxuan was stunned. "Who?"

"The one who works for our shop, Liu Chen's daddy," reminded Mo Yanzhi.

Now Han Tingxuan remembered who Male wife Liu was. It had been a long time since he had thought of State of Yong. Even though he would still think of it when he met Yun Shen.

However, when he was alone, he rarely thought of that place.

The wheeled plough was now used throughout the whole country. The farmers were deeply grateful to the Emperor's kindness, because e price of the wheeled plough was really not expensive.

"Male wife Liu? How do you know?"

Mo Yanzhi smiled. "We once talked about it. However, he did not know our identity. If people knew that I am Mo Yanzhi, the consequence would be terrible.”

Han Tingxuan thought for a moment and said, "We will have a lot of time before you are due. I'll send people to investigate and test Liu's personality!"

"Good. This is a good idea," said Mo Yanzhi.

After making a decision, they dropped this topic. However, they still needed to look for more midwives for the sake of safety.

If Male wife Liu turned out to be untrustworthy, they had to get an alternative one.

Then, with Han Tingxuan's help, Mo Yanzhi took a shower and went to bed.

That night, Han Tingxuan was suddenly woken up. Han Tingxuan was about to make a sound but his mouth was covered.

Han Tingxuan opened his eyes and found that it was Shadow Two.

Shadow Two only woke him because he did not want to wake Mo Yanzhi.

Hence, Han Tingxuan relaxed and signaled that he got the hint.

Shadow Two let go of his hand and pressed Mo Yanzhi's acupoints.

Han Tingxuan frowned. He didn't know if it was good for the child!

"Don't worry. I just put him in sleep. It only lasts for a quarter of an hour. It's no harm to his body," Shadow Two explained as he understood Han Tingxuan's concerns.

Han Tingxuan sat up and looked at Shadow Two. "What happened?"

"Liu Yong died and his body was damaged. The reason was that a handkerchief was set on fire and Liu Yog was burnt to death in front of everyone. Mang people tried to use water to put out the fire, but the fire couldn't be put out. Liu Yong was burned to death.”

Han Tingxuan almost cried out in shock. "What?!"

Shadow Two lowered his head.

Han Tingxuan really had a strong feel of fear. On that day, if he hadn't instinctively been extra careful to make Liu Yong keep the handkerchief, as a way of luring the person behind the scene…

If Mo Yanzhi still kept the handkerchief…

Han Tingxuan started to sweat!

"Take me to see Liu Yong's body," said Han Tingxuan immediately.

Shadow Two was shocked and asked, "Are you going there in person? But his majesty… "

Han Tingxuan took a deep breath. "I can't hide it from him eventually. You don't want the Emperor to know because Liu Yong died strangely, right? Don't worry, I know why the water can't be put out.”

Shadow Two was shocked. "What?! You know why?”

That's right. The reason why Shadow Two secretly told Han Tingxuan alone was because he was afraid that Liu Yong's death would be involved in a ghost story or sorts. So he did not want to alarm the emperor, because Mo Yanzhi was pregnant now.

Therefore, he told Han Tingxuan first. At least, before they came up with a plan, it would be better that Mo Yanzhi did not know about it.

But what did Han Tingxuan say? He actually knew why water couldn’t be put out? Was it true?

"How many people were there when Liu Yong died?" Han Tingxuan asked.

Shadow Two fell silent and said, "Many."

"If that's the case, we can't waste any moment now. Let's go quickly. By the way, wake Yanzhi up.”

Han Tingxuan was too calm. Shadow Two saw a hope and therefore, immediately untouched Mo Yanzhi's acupoints.

Mo Yanzhi immediately woke up. His expression turned cold and glared the bedside with sharp eyes. Obviously, he knew it the moment he was put into sleep.

Shadow Two lowered his head and said, "My mistake!"

Mo Yanzhi said coldly, "Fifty whips. Your punishment."

"Yes!"

Then, Mo Yanzh said softly to Han Tingxuan. "Hubby, what happened?"

Han Tingxuan was still immersed in his male wife's cool and domineering behavior.

His male wife was so cool just now! So handsome!

Compared to him, Han Tingxuan was not cool at all.

"Hubby?" Seeing Han Tingxuan's blank face and his strange gaze, Mo Yanzhi couldn't help but gave him a little push.

"Ahem! Ahem!" Han Tingxuan finally came back to his senses. "Yanzhi, something happened to Liu Yong. I'll go and see him."

"Liu Yong?" Mo Yanzhi was stunned and immediately remembered. "Is there a problem with the handkerchief?"

Han Tingxuan nodded. "Mmm. There is a problem with the handkerchief. But the handkerchief might not be the only reason to burn him to death. I might know how it worked. I plan to go and see it now. In addition, I need to comfort those people who saw it.”

Mo Yanzhi was also shocked. "What? Fire? "

"Yes," said Han Tingxuan helplessly. "Liu Yong was burned to death by the fire."

Mo Yanzhi pursed his lips. "Just him?"

"Not just him. There must be more. So the water can't be put out.”

Mo Yanzhi was silent, "You know what's going on?"

"I probably know, but I need to go to the scene."

"Okay, bring more people," Mo Yanzhi finally agreed.

Han Tingxuan smiled. "Don't worry. You don't need to show up. You’d better rest for a while."

Mo Yanzhi nodded. He knew that he shouldn’t show up in public.

Then, Han Tingxuan and Shadow Two left.

In the army, everyone was gathered together in fear.

Although the guards said that an official was coming for the case and ordered that no one was allowed to discuss it, they were still discussing it because it was too strange.

"What happened to Captain Liu? Why did he die so miserably?”

"What kind of strange fire is that? Could it be… "

"What do you want to say?"

"I… I don't know…"

"Ghost fire! It's Ghost fire! It must be ghost fire! Only ghost fire can't be put out!”

"Oh my God, did Captain Liu offend a ghost?"

"I think so. Otherwise, why was he… "

"This is terrible. We were together with Captain Liu last moment, but now…"

"This place is too dangerous. Can… can we still stay?"

"…"

Gong Yue was the first one to handle this matter. He was Liu Yong's superior.

He had already done some work here, but this matter was too big! Everyone was very wary of ghosts.

Although he told the people not to discuss it, he couldn't stop the public from talking.

Now, this matter had already spread over guard camp!

Gong Yue did not look very well. In fact, he also felt a little scared.

At this moment, Han Tingxuan arrived. Behind him was a squad of guards. Shadow was blending the guards in disguise of an ordinary guard.

Gong Yue was shocked when he saw Han Tingxuan.

"Good day, your highness."

Han Tingxuan waved his hand. "Alright, get up. Where's the body?"

Han Tingxuan got right to the point so that he could resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

Gong Yue hurriedly said, "Please come with me."

When Gong Yue and Han Tingxuan arrived at the camp where Liu Yong's body was located, Gong Yue was about to dismiss all unrelated people, Han Tingxuan said, "No need. Open the door and gather every witness here."

Actually, there were dozens of witnesses at the time. Gong Yue was shocked when he heard Han Tingxuan's words. Was he going to investigate the case under a public occasion? If he couldn't find out anything, what would Han Tingxuan do?

Not only was Prince Chen’s husband unable to give the case a closure, but also the crowd would probably be even more panicked!

Gong Yue wanted to stop him, but Han Tingxuan had already given out his order without consulting anyone’s opinion. Besides, he had already started to check the body.

Gong Yue gritted his teeth and had to follow Han Tingxuan's orders.

Dozens of witnesses were gathered very soon.

Their faces were very pale. Obviously they were shocked.

They were the first witnessed to discover Liu Yong's abnormality. The fire was not a big one at first. It looked like a handkerchief was on fire.

Then, Liu Yong immediately pulled the handkerchief out of his chest pocket and wanted to throw it away. But he could not get rid of the fiery handkerchief. In the next instant, the flames grew, and Liu Yong's upper body was burning.

They were frightened. Someone was quick enough to put it out with water.

To their surprises, the fire grew bigger and bigger. They poured a whole bucket of water to put it out but the fire did not die. And the fire still didn’t go out no matter how much water they used.

They watched Liu Yong screaming and burning to death!

Han Tingxuan looked away from the corpse and turned to those who had entered.

"Look at each other carefully. Did you see Captain Liu burning with your own eyes? Are you sure these are all and no one missing?”

Han Tingxuan's words shocked everyone. They were very surprised. Then they looked at each other and tried very hard to remember.

"Make sure that no one is missing. This is very important. Think and think harder. How many people there were back then? Are those people all here?!”

Han Tingxuan's tone was stern and serious. Suddenly, everyone started to remember.
