The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

When the news from the back garden came, Princess Jinshan did not want to show up. Although she was a princess, she was also a female member of the family, an elder, and had some age. Even if she did not show up, Crown Prince Yan Sinian would not be able to find fault with her.

However, the servants reported that someone close to the prince saw the murderer, and the prince sent someone to report to the authorities, saying that they wanted to find the murderer and suspected that the man was an assassin... When the news came, the eldest princess became restless.

She didn't want to bring Nanny Cui over, but Nanny Cui swore that the other party must not have seen what she looked like. There was a whole pond between them, so how could she see her face?

Princess Jinshan also suspected that Yan Sinian was taking advantage of the situation to investigate their Li Mansion. Not to mention the secrets in their mansion, there was even someone from Prince Kang's Mansion living in the wing room of her courtyard.

In fact, no matter what, Prince Kang was her brother, so it was normal for Yan Sinian to find someone from Prince Kang's mansion here. But she still felt guilty, so she rushed to the garden.

Except for Yan Sinian who was sitting still, after everyone else greeted each other, Princess Jinshan also sat down nearby.

There was an awkward silence at the scene.

What broke the silence was a short exclamation from Nanny Cui.

Xiao Ba had stood in front of her without her knowing. The two were less than a step apart. Because Xiao Ba was more than a head shorter than Nanny Cui, Nanny Cui was startled when she accidentally lowered her head and met his big eyes.

"It's her." A sweet voice rang out in the garden. Xiao Ba pointed at Madam Cui and looked at Yan Sinian, with questions in his eyes - [Can I kill her?]

After hearing what Xiao Ba said, Princess Jinshan quickly scolded her, "Ridiculous! Aunt Cui is an old lady by my side, and she has been serving me all night. How could she be the murderer?"

Yan Sinian called Xiao Ba back to his side, held her hand, glanced at the princess nonchalantly and said, "No one has mentioned the word 'murderer' yet. Aunt is too anxious."

The eldest princess was choked and embarrassed, but others, especially the Li brothers, were shocked.

It seems that the murderer should be Matron Cui. Although the reason is still unknown, there is no place for them in the Li family to speak here, so just listen.

The Li brothers shrank back at the same time.

At this time, the housekeeper of Li's house came in to report that the local prefect and governor had all arrived.

Originally, due to the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yan Sinian, all the local officials, both big and small, were on high alert.

During the two days that the prince stayed in Li's mansion, they were extremely busy, fearing that something might go wrong.

Now that they heard that Li Mansion had reported to the police that someone had committed a crime in front of the prince, they naturally rushed over in a hurry.

Three shifts of yamen runners, legal advisors, coroners, and the entire hall.

The sound of singing announcements came from not far away.

"Report, the neck is blue and purple, and there are no other external injuries on the body; Report, the cervical vertebrae were pinched, and the handprints on the neck are evidence; Report, there is no water in the mouth and nose, the body was thrown into the water after death..."

Maybe because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting nearby, those people used all their abilities and conducted a very detailed investigation.

Finally, the murderer left a palm print on Sixteen's neck.

"Let's compare!" Yan Sinian pointed at Nanny Cui and gestured coldly.

Princess Jinshan glanced at Nanny Cui. Although she hated her for not being able to accomplish anything, she still had to speak to Yan Sinian, "Your Highness, Nanny Cui is my person. You are treating her as a suspect. Isn't that a slap in my face? Besides, this Sixteenth Lady was originally a member of my Li family. Now that she has met with an unexpected event, it is also my Li family's business."

"The princess thinks I am meddling in other people's business!" The dissatisfaction in Yan Sinian's tone made everyone in the garden feel a chill in their hearts.

Xiao Ba looked at this and then looked at that.

Turning back, he whispered to Xiao Jiu beside him, "Didn't you say that a life must be paid with a life? Now that we know that the old woman is the murderer of the little girl, shouldn't we just kill her? Why are you still making such a fuss?"

"There must be evidence and a legitimate reason." Xiaojiu also responded to Xiaoba in a low voice.

"I saw her throw the little girl into the water, but that doesn't count?"

Xiaojiu gently shook his head at Xiaoba.

They both thought their voices were not loud, but the garden was too quiet and most of what they said could be heard.

"It's unfair!" Nanny Cui suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Yan Sinian and Princess Jinshan.

"How could I kill Shiliu Niang for no reason when I have no grudge against her? Miss Yun said she saw me, but there is such a big pond between us. How could Miss Yun see the face of the person on the other side? And what evidence do you have to prove that it was me on the other side? I am really wronged!"

"What's more..." Aunt Cui raised her right hand with tears on her face. Her ring finger and little finger on her right hand were bent very unnaturally.

"I was injured a while ago and can't even straighten my fingers. That palm print can't possibly be mine."

Aunt Cui saw that the princess wanted to protect her. As long as they didn't compare the palm prints, no one could convict her. Thinking of the banknotes Yingniang had just secretly given her, it didn't matter if she was missing two fingers. With that money, she could live a rich life wherever she went.

At this time, someone came forward to check Aunt Cui's fingers, and indeed two of them were broken, but the person did not say that the two broken fingers were just broken.

The prince will return to the capital sooner or later, and these little people like them still have to live here, so it’s better to say less and make fewer mistakes.

Seeing that she had not been exposed, Aunt Cui was very proud. She looked up at the two people sitting there and cursed, "I am really not the murderer, otherwise I will be struck by lightning."

Looking at Nanny Cui's face full of grievance and tears, if Princess Jinshan didn't know the truth, she would have thought that she was wronged.

"Otherwise, Your Highness, please check other people." Just when Princess Jinshan wanted to ease the atmosphere.

With a "click" sound, a white light flashed in front of everyone.

When he came to his senses, he saw that Aunt Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, had been chopped into charcoal.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be unable to breathe, and screams filled the entire garden.

I don’t know when the stars and the moon in the sky disappeared, and dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.

"God's punishment! This is God's punishment!" As the raindrops fell, everyone in the Li family shouted and fled in all directions.

Yan Sinian looked at Princess Jinshan and said, "Aunt, people should not swear casually. After all, we are in the presence of God, don't you agree?"

The eldest princess was so frightened that she collapsed on her chair and couldn't even open her mouth to reply to him.

Xiao Ba, who was being dragged away by Yan Sinian, casually removed the supernatural power he had just used. He muttered, "It's already solved, why bother with so much trouble."

The only thing that answered her was Yan Sinian's slightly raised lips.
