There, on the clean and empty pink bed, a corpse with a strange face had somehow appeared. There was a wound on its throat, from which scarlet blood was spurting out, staining the bed.
Ning Yan'er had to bite her red lips tightly to suppress the fear in her heart.
A Bi's face instantly turned pale. It took her a long time to find her voice in the fear. "Princess..."
Ning Yan'er trembled and pushed A Bi forward. She tried to keep her voice calm. "Go and take a look!"
Seeing this, A Bi couldn't help swallowing her saliva. But she had to tremble forward. When she saw the man's face, she was shocked. She trembled and reached out her hands to feel for his breath. "Princess, he's dead..."
This man was none other than Li Si! Why did he die here? She told Ning Yan'er the identity of this man nervously and then stepped aside. When her eyes swept over the strange expression on the corpse, her heart trembled inexplicably, and she quickly looked away.
Ning Yan'er seemed to understand something. Her eyes instantly turned cold. She clenched her delicate hands tightly. How on earth did Liu Rumei get better? Was she really worth your protection like this? "Dispose of the body!"
Liu Rumei, just you wait!
A Bi's heart trembled. She quickly bowed respectfully. "Yes."
Ning Yan'er turned around and walked out of the room. Looking at the boundless night, her eyes were filled with coldness.
...
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Liu Rumei opened her eyes. Suddenly, she was startled by the black figure that appeared in front of her.
When she took a closer look, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly put on her coat and got up. "When did you come, Your Highness?"
Mo Liandi opened the window and said casually, "An hour ago."
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned. Looking at Sixi standing respectfully aside, she couldn't help rubbing her forehead. "Sixi, why didn't you wake me up when the prince came?"
Sixi felt extremely innocent. When she came in early this morning, the prince was already there. How could she know when the prince came? However, judging from the situation, he probably came very early.
"I'm wrong, mistress."
Mo Liandi glanced at her faintly and said indifferently, "It was I who told her not to wake you up. You've been tired these days. How about taking a few days off in the mansion?"
Now this case was becoming more and more complicated. The only clues were Mu Dan and Yan Hong. Mu Dan was from the Flower Mansion, which was extremely complex. Even though he was protecting her, there were always some people who didn't know their place. As for Yan Hong, what information could be obtained from a crazy woman?
Since Mo Yun asked Mo Litian to assist Xue Zhan in handling this matter, why not let them worry about it!
But Liu Rumei shook her head. "I can't feel at ease until those more than twenty people are found. If the murderer isn't caught, I'm afraid more women will suffer. This matter can't be delayed. Although I'm just a woman and can't do much, there must be something I can do."
As a coroner, she naturally knew her limits. But this case was right in front of her. If she ignored it, she was afraid she would feel uneasy.
Mo Liandi expected that she would refuse. He couldn't help sighing deeply. "I'll let Ye Zhe follow you."
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned and quickly shook her head. "No..."
"The forces behind the Flower Mansion are complex. Even with the protection of the Crown Prince, it may be difficult to deal with. If you insist on investigating this case, let Ye Zhe follow you. Otherwise, just stay in the mansion obediently."
Even a cornered rabbit will bite. The Flower Mansion had a close relationship with those people. It was probably not easy to investigate.
"I have important matters to attend to these days. Ye Zhe will stay with you just in case."
Looking at Mo Liandi's cold eyes, Liu Rumei had no choice but to nod helplessly. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing her aloof manner, Mo Liandi couldn't help frowning slightly. "Take good care of yourself. I'll take Yun Xi and Yun Li away. I'll return them to you in two months."
Mentioning the brothers Yun Xi and Yun Li, Liu Rumei also smiled. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind instruction."
Since she came here, she had just realized that in ancient times, power was supreme and human lives were taken casually. If one didn't have the ability to protect oneself, it would be difficult to gain a foothold.
Mo Liandi shook his head. "It's okay. I have important matters to attend to and won't be in the mansion these days. Ye Zhe will follow you. If there's anything, ask him to investigate. Don't take risks."
Liu Rumei felt a little warm in her heart. She gave a charming smile. "I understand."
Seeing her charming smile, the corner of Mo Liandi's mouth also curled up slightly. "Wait for me to come back. I'll give you a surprise."
Liu Rumei looked at the faint smile on Mo Liandi's mouth. For a moment, she was a little dazed. She couldn't help sighing secretly in her heart. This man was really born with unique advantages!
"Okay."
The smile in Mo Liandi's eyes deepened a bit. He believed she would like it.
Thinking of this, the joy in his heart deepened even more. He immediately turned around and left.
After Mo Liandi left, Liu Rumei lazily stretched. She changed her clothes, washed up in a hurry, and was about to go to the yamen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she smelled a fragrance of food. Her empty stomach was growling now.
"Miss Liu, the prince ordered you to have breakfast before going."
Liu Rumei shifted her gaze from the delicious food and saw Ye Zhe standing aside with a cold look on his face, which made people feel in awe.
Sixi couldn't help pouting and quietly took a step behind Liu Rumei. Thinking that this man would follow Miss Liu for the next few days, she was not happy...
Liu Rumei smiled. "Thank you, Guard Ye."
It was really kind of him to go to the Wanbaozhai to buy these snacks.
Ye Zhe paused for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "These were specially bought by the prince."
Thinking that the prince had guarded Miss Liu all night last night and went to the Wanbaozhai to buy snacks as soon as it was dawn, he still felt a little surprised.
Sixi pursed her lips and her eyes were full of smiles. "The prince is really good to Miss Liu."
Miss Liu must be the only one who could enjoy such treatment!
Hearing this, the pastry in Liu Rumei's mouth instantly tasted different. Mo Liandi...
"Let's eat together. I can't finish so much. We can't waste it."
Seeing this, Sixi subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Without thinking, she reached out her hand. Unexpectedly, her hand was grabbed by a sudden hand.
Then a cold voice came. "Please enjoy your meal slowly, Miss Liu. We've already eaten."
Sixi looked at Ye Zhe who had appeared beside her. Her small mouth was instantly pursed tightly. He was lying. She hadn't eaten yet. After standing with the prince for a whole morning, she was already hungry.
But when she looked up and saw Ye Zhe's cold gaze, she had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She just felt that the pastries on the table were waving to her...
Sure enough, as long as this blockhead was around, she couldn't have a peaceful time!
