Pretty Consort: Prince, Don’t Run away - C152
After sprinkling everything down, Xi Mengyao immediately turned and left.
The guards had moved the princess’s body to a small garden behind the palace. It had once been a deserted training ground in a remote area of the forest.
Someone had planted a tree in it, and it had now grown into a small forest.
There was a wooden house for the watchers to rest, and when the guards placed the corpses there, they shrank back their necks.
After all, although they were the guards of the Prince’s Mansion, only a few of them had ever seen a dead person.
Seeing this, they were all scared. After a few of them sighed, one of them shrunk his neck and said, “I don’t know what’s going on. He said that the prince really doesn’t like this job, so why did he bring her back?”
“Hey, this princess is truly strange. Look at her appearance. She’s much heavier than normal females.” The other person was quite bold. As he spoke, he also turned around to take a look.
The princess was dressed extravagantly and had already changed into the fashionable clothes worn by the ladies of the capital. Her clothes were made of the same materials, all of them refined. The flowers were embroidered with some gold and silver pieces.
However, it seemed to be a bit old and worn out now.
The satin had been dyed red with fresh blood, and the background color of the patterns couldn’t be seen. It was truly a mess.
The other person listened and also looked down at her slender wrist. It should be riddled with scars. He could not help but sigh. “Pitiful.”
While this person was talking, someone suddenly made a sound of surprise.
His voice startled the people around him. He turned around and asked in surprise, “What are you doing?”
His voice trembled a bit. Recently, strange things had been happening all over the place. Although there were some things that he wasn’t allowed to say, they all knew about it. It had left quite a shadow in their hearts.
When that person saw that he was scared, he shook his head and quickly replied, “Nothing, I just thought it was strange. Look, isn’t this guy a little thin? ”
“Since she’s a princess, it’s only natural that she has a good figure …” And he’s from the forest, so where are we? “” He’s from the forest.
The other wanted to leave, didn’t even want to look.
That person shook his head and said, “No, I think so. “Look at this hand, it should be the hand of a princess, why do you think it’s injured …”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, footsteps could be heard from outside.
The two of them immediately turned their heads warily, they did not want others to not see, but Xi Mengyao’s voice had already travelled over, “Is that so?”
As she spoke, she walked over to take a closer look.
The person’s arm had a light purple ring on it. It should have been tied up by someone. However, from the looks of it … It did seem a little strange.
Just as she was about to say something, Song Chongjing came over from outside and stood at the door without coming in: “What are you looking at?”
Right now, the princess’ clothes were still tattered, so he couldn’t casually go over to take a look.
At this moment, the butler at the side also silently followed.
Xi Mengyao saw that he was smiling: “Butler is free today, so I won’t be entertaining your esteemed guests. Those two are probably still locked up right now, I hope I didn’t see how they were feeling?”
Hearing her mocking words, the butler was so angry that he didn’t say anything for a long time.
However, he was unable to say anything. He had already asked those two men yesterday. The two men’s mouths were tightly shut. He knew that he had been tricked, but he could not say anything.
Not to mention him, even under Song Chongjing and the others’ interrogation, the two of them could not utter a single word.
He also knew that he had been set up by someone this time. Although he was a little biased in his heart, he was unable to explain himself in the end. He could only shake his head and pay his respects as he said, “Good morning, Princess.”
Xi Mengyao could not be bothered with him, upon seeing Song Chongjing, she said: “Don’t you feel that there is something strange about this man?”
As she spoke, she moved to poke the man’s wrist.
However, Song Chongjing berated her, “What is with this? Is this the body of a princess after all?
The two countries had a good relationship, and as for the matter of the princess, he would need some letters to pass on. A few days later, this official arrived and took a look at the princess’ injury.
“You haven’t even figured out whether this is a princess or not, and you’re already saying such words. Aren’t you afraid of getting slapped in the face when the time comes?” Xi Mengyao said with a smile that was not a smile.
“What do you mean?” Song Chongjing was a little doubtful when he heard this.
“The guard said it just now. Look at his delicate body. It seems he isn’t a princess who lives like a prince. Moreover, the princess has been through a disaster for no reason. It looks like he is unusually calm.”
She was talking about the Third Prince Palace.
Now, not to mention being calm, they were basically ignoring him. There wasn’t even a single person who came over to pay their respects.
She had heard that after the princess left, her status in the manor wasn’t low, so why did she look like she was being ignored? No matter how she looked at it, something didn’t seem right.
After Song Chongjing heard this, he frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, “Maybe they just did not want to blow the matter.”
“You don’t want to cause a scene?” Xi Mengyao was almost laughing out loud: “Are you lying to yourself, or what?”
She said, and then turned to look at Lu Ming: “Do you think that is possible?”
Lu Ming shook his head, he was quiet for a while, and then said: “According to this subordinate’s point of view, it is impossible, they might not be making a big deal out of it. If it is not chaos, then what is it? If we can drag the king into it, then they will not care about anything else. ”
“Take a look.” Xi Mengyao spread his hands.
Song Chongjing remained silent, then looked at Xi Mengyao: “If you have any ideas, then just say them.”
He knew that Xi Mengyao never spoke nonsense, and now, he probably had his own thoughts.
After Xi Mengyao heard it, she nodded her head and said: “I’m saying, since this corpse is here, why don’t we waste more time to examine it to determine if it’s real or fake.”
“An autopsy?”
When Song Chongjing Chenjin heard this, he did not react at first. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized something, shook his head and said: “To see who has been examined, there is no coroner in the city now.”
“What?”
Xi Mengyao felt it was strange, why were men and women in the coroner’s office?
Today, the people here were not exactly isolated. People were already dead, so how could there be such a division?
She was a little doubtful and turned to look at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming thought that they were all young misses, and did not understand the situation with the people below them, thus he explained: “If it was an ordinary family, they would not have so many rules, but today, they are not ordinary people, so they need to be careful.”
If something were to happen to the princess, it would be a matter of two countries, and one couldn’t be careless.
Xi Mengyao also nodded.
At this time, Lu Ming looked at Song Chongjing and said: “Maybe … Is that why? “
