Was she trying to back out?
Uncle Zhang's smile remained undiminished. "The princess did promise the Princess Anning to investigate the case. However, yesterday, Lord Bai kicked the princess and the Princess Anning out of his mansion, clearly unwilling to let others interfere. Since the Princess Anning failed to handle this matter properly, why drag our princess to face rejection?"
Hearing this, Ning Yan'er's eyes flashed with a cold glint. She had originally thought that by bringing Liu Rumei out today, persuading her gently, crying, threatening, and luring her, she could make her insist on interfering in this case.
In this way, Bai Hanfei's grudge against Liu Rumei would surely deepen. Coupled with Lady Bai, she didn't believe that Liu Rumei could get away successfully!
However, she didn't expect that before her plan was put into action, Liu Rumei had already returned to the mansion of the Prince of Guoa. Now, even trying to see her was blocked by many.
"It was Yan'er who was impolite. But Yan'er still wants to see Miss Liu. It was Yan'er who didn't handle yesterday's matter properly, which made Miss Liu lose face. Yan'er should apologize to her in person."
By this time, how could she be willing to give up?
The position of the princess of the Prince of Guoa should be hers!
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang couldn't help frowning slightly. He only thought the Princess Anning was quite annoying. "Why does the princess have to interfere in this matter forcefully and make everyone unhappy?"
Ning Yan'er sighed deeply. "After all, she is Yan'er's aunt. How could Yan'er ignore it?"
Uncle Zhang sneered inwardly. If the prince hadn't already investigated this matter clearly, he might really have been deceived by the Princess Anning.
"It's not that this old servant doesn't want to help you. It's just that the prince has given an order not to disturb the princess. The princess didn't eat all day yesterday because she was investigating this case and looking for clues in the morgue. The princess has done more than enough. Please forgive me, Princess Anning!"
After saying that, he didn't say any more. He immediately closed the door and left.
Ning Yan'er looked at the closed door. Her eyes were full of coldness. She bit her red lips tightly and was silent for a long time. Finally, she flung her sleeves and left!
After getting into the carriage, A Bi noticed that Ning Yan'er's palms were covered with wounds. She couldn't help being shocked. "Princess, you..."
Ning Yan'er's face was full of malice. "Go back!"
It seemed that she still had to ask her father to interfere in this matter!
A Bi nodded respectfully, told the coachman outside, took the wound medicine beside her, and carefully bandaged her.
Liu Rumei was bored in the West Garden, her face full of unhappiness. Seeing this, Sixi could only sigh helplessly.
Mo Liandi, however, was in a good mood. He followed Liu Rumei closely, almost driving her crazy.
As the sun was setting, Liu Rumei was thinking about how to leave the mansion of the Prince of Guoa when an imperial edict suddenly arrived.
Liu Rumei subconsciously looked at Mo Liandi. Remembering what he had said before, she couldn't help frowning. Did he already know?
There was a smile in Mo Liandi's eyes. He said softly, "Rumei, wait here in the West Garden for a while. When this king comes back, I'll take you out."
Liu Rumei was happy to be idle and too lazy to receive the imperial edict and perform the ceremony, so she didn't refuse.
However, her heart was full of doubts. Mo Yun wished he could get rid of Mo Liandi completely. Why would he let him go so easily this time? Or had Mo Litian also come out?
However, she soon got the answer. In the south of the Yangtze River, there was a sudden heavy rain. Fortunately, Mo Liandi had made preparations in advance, so no great disaster had occurred. All the officials in the court had submitted memorials to show their praise.
Although Mo Yun was extremely reluctant, he still considered the overall situation. Offseting merits against demerits, he could only release Mo Liandi.
Liu Rumei looked at the man in front of her. For a moment, her heart was full of complex emotions. Mo Liandi's talent was truly amazing. It was no exaggeration to say that he was extremely talented. Maybe even if she hadn't come here, it would only be a matter of time before Mo Yun stepped down and Mo Liandi ascended the throne.
There was a smile on Mo Liandi's face. He said softly, "Rumei, where do you want to go? This king will accompany you."
Liu Rumei pursed her lips but didn't say a word. She left directly.
Seeing that Liu Rumei didn't say a word, Mo Liandi couldn't help frowning. It seemed that he had really angered her this time.
However, there was no sign of repentance in his heart. He still stepped forward with a smile and held her soft hands. "Rumei, do you still want to investigate this case?"
Liu Rumei still pursed her lips and didn't say a word. She tried hard to break free from Mo Liandi's hands, but it was in vain. She could only glare at Mo Liandi angrily and said indifferently, "Your Highness, men and women should keep a proper distance."
Mo Liandi hooked his lips and smiled. He said leisurely, "This is true. However, Rumei will be this king's princess in the future, so you don't have to be so restrained!"
Seeing that Liu Rumei's face became a little colder, Mo Liandi quickly said, "Rumei, do you want to know where the body is now?"
Liu Rumei stopped and frowned. "You found it?"
Seeing that Liu Rumei's face finally softened, Mo Liandi couldn't help sighing deeply. He was extremely depressed. Wasn't he, the majestic Prince of Guoa, as important as a corpse?
Although he thought so in his heart, there was no sign of it on his face. He said indifferently, "It took some effort, but it wasn't completely without clues. The body is now in the Bai family's mansion!"
Why Bai Hanfei had hidden the body in his own mansion, he hadn't found out yet. But since Bai Hanfei had gone to so much trouble, he naturally had to give him some face and spend some time investigating.
Liu Rumei frowned tightly. "The Bai family? Did Lady Bai do it?"
Mo Liandi immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "It was Bai Hanfei. The day after burying the woman, he ordered someone to secretly dig her out. However, this king doesn't know where he hid her yet!"
But he was sure that Bai Hanfei must have hidden the body in the Bai mansion.
"Bai Hanfei? Why did he do that? Isn't it said that the dead should be buried in peace?"
Did Lian Rui's body hide some unspeakable secret?
Liu Rumei was even more puzzled.
Mo Liandi was equally curious. "This king doesn't know either. But since he went to so much trouble, it means he wants to cover up something!"
Liu Rumei nodded and frowned. "It would be great if we could go to the Bai mansion to investigate!"
Seeing this, Mo Liandi couldn't help shaking his head and said indifferently, "There will always be someone who will give us a chance!"
Since Ning Yan'er had come today, it meant that she didn't want to give up easily. Therefore, she would surely find another opportunity to let Rumei investigate the case!
Liu Rumei soon thought of Ning Yan'er. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. "Is Your Highness referring to the Princess Anning?"
Mo Liandi hooked his lips and smiled. "Exactly."
