The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

The moon was hanging in the sky, the shadows of flowers were everywhere, and there was an occasional breeze, which brought a faint fragrance from afar. Yan Sinian held Xiao Ba's hand, and the two of them strolled along the path in the garden of Li's mansion.

Xiao Ba felt that there was an indescribable gentleness in Yan Sinian tonight, as if something had changed.

She secretly glanced at Yan Sinian, then again, and again, but still found nothing different. She could only say that it was a mysterious feeling.

"Does it look good?" Yan Si turned his eyes and looked at Xiao Ba beside him, with a charming smile on his lips.

Gently rub Xiaoba's tender little hand in the palm of your hand.

Of course, I will hold your hand and let you and I walk side by side, regardless of the difference between the superior and the inferior, the master and the servant.

Xiao Ba was immediately fascinated, "It looks good!" He nodded his head gently and slowly approached Yan Sinian.

In the past, Xiao Ba had too much trust in Yan Sinian but not enough closeness to him. However, tonight, Yan Sinian made Xiao Ba want to go up to him, touch him, and stick to him.

There was a gentle smile in Yan Sinian's eyes as he waited for Xiao Ba to approach.

Just when their lips were about to touch, a person quickly appeared on the other side of the pond.

Although his martial arts skills were as silent as a ghost, he still startled a pair of mandarin ducks.

When Xiao Ba looked over, he saw a man who threw the person he was carrying on his shoulders into the pond, then turned around and left quickly.

Because Yan Sinian had his back to the pond, he only saw a figure.

Yan Sinian did not make any movement, and even his expression did not change. This kind of murder, robbery, and destruction of the body was nothing new to him.

Xiao Ba narrowed his cat eyes.

The one thrown into the pond...

Xiao Ba waved his little hand and a vine flowed down the bank of the pond into the water.

In just a moment, Xiao Ba used vines to drag a person out of the pond.

Xiao Ba frowned slightly as she looked at Shiliu Niang, whose neck was broken on the ground.

The little girl who had eaten braised beef with him during the day was thrown into the pond with her eyes open.

Unexpectedly, the life and death in this world now has some of the feeling of the end of the world, and it is still uncertain.

Yan Sinian saw Xiao Ba's expression and asked, "Know him?"

Xiao Ba nodded slightly, and before Xiao Ba could speak, Yan Sinian reacted.

"That Sixteenth Lady?" Although it was a question, there was certainty in Yan Sinian's tone.

"The move was very neat, and he was killed instantly. It looked like he fell into the water and broke his neck."

Xiao Ba bent down to look at the wound on Shiliu Niang's neck.

Just then, a scream broke the silence in the garden in the middle of the night.

There were two night watchmen, one holding a lantern high, and the other dropping a wooden clapper in his hand to the ground.

"Killed...!"

Soon, the back garden of Li's mansion was full of people.

Also because the prince moved into the Li Mansion, all the masters of the Li family, from top to bottom, moved back into the mansion tonight. Even the prince consort Li Zhigong, who had lived in the academy all year round, came back.

Tonight, he naturally had to find his younger brother, Li Zhishen, the current head of the Li family, to discuss the prince and the court, as well as some matters concerning their Li Mansion.

The two men had just finished talking and were saying goodbye outside the yard when they heard shouting.

So they all rushed over as soon as possible.

Because he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the back garden, he hurriedly gave orders, leaving only some young masters who came rushing over after hearing the noise, and stopped all the female relatives from coming back.

Li Zhigong and Li Zhishen knelt in front of Yan Sinian, and the young masters of the Li family knelt at a distance behind them.

Yan Sinian stood by the pond with his hands behind his back, not saying anything or calling out. He just let Xiao Ba stand behind him and slowly turned the jade token in his hand.

The atmosphere gradually became heavier, and the voices around them became quieter and quieter. The less Yan Sinian spoke, the more pressure the Li family felt.

"Your Highness, I wonder what happened here?"

In the end, Li Zhishen couldn't stand the pressure and secretly poked his brother to ask.

Li Zhigong also felt that kneeling in the garden in the middle of the night was not a good idea. Besides, even if you were the prince, you could just tell him what you wanted to say. There was no need to scare him like this.

"I want to know, too." Yan Sinian's voice was calm without any disturbance.

"Get up!" He raised his hand to signal everyone in the Li family to get up. Yan Sinian took Xiao Ba and walked a few steps to the side so that they could see the corpse on the ground more clearly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After standing up, Li Zhishen took the lantern from the servant beside him and went forward with his brother to check.

"I was just relaxing under the moonlight when I heard someone fall into the water. I didn't want anyone to rescue me, but when I looked up, I found a body dumped in front of me. Your house really has good rules."

The last sentence is the key point. After hearing it, the Li brothers wanted to kneel down again, but were stopped by Yan Sinian.

"Should we recognize the person first?"

The Li brothers looked at the corpse on the ground. First of all, they could tell from the clothes that this was not a maid or servant.

The two brothers looked at each other and walked forward to see the person on the ground. Then they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was not their daughter or granddaughter.

Looking at this unfamiliar girl, Li Zhigong asked the steward to identify her and find out the identity of the deceased no matter what.

Li Zhishen already had some guesses. After all, as the head of the family, he knew that the princess had invited several young ladies from Yiyuan to stay in the mansion.

This should be one of them, a girl from the Li clan.

Just as he expected, a steward in the inner courtyard recognized Shiliu Niang at a glance.

She was less than ten years old and was his cousin in terms of seniority, but she was strangled to death and her body was thrown in front of the prince.

The meat is rotting in the pot and the broken arm is hidden in the sleeve. The most important thing is to get the prince away first.

As expected of two brothers, they both made the decision at the same time.

Li Zhishen smiled and said to Yan Sinian: "I am sorry that you frightened your Highness. It is my fault for not managing my family properly. Please do not blame me. I will investigate this matter and give you an explanation. However, this place is so messy now. Please move on."

"Yes! It's cold this night. Your Highness should go back early to avoid catching a cold." Li Zhigong also advised.

Yan Sinian looked at Xiao Ba beside him.

I just met a little girl during the day who made me feel a little touched, but now she has become a cold corpse. I can't do anything for her, but I can still take revenge.

Yan Sinian did not see the person who dumped the body, but Xiao Ba did. Although she did not recognize him and only had a vague image of him, with Xiao Ba's ability, she would definitely be able to recognize him if she saw him again.

Xiao Ba whispered to Yan Sinian her idea of ​​finding the person who dumped the body. She didn't know if her doing so would cause him more trouble. If there was trouble, she would find him quietly and kill him quietly.
