Herb Family [Rebirth]

"Dead?!" Bai Heng and Lu Qi were also taken aback when they heard the words.

But the two quickly calmed down, and Lu Qi told the servant girl: "Call everyone in Yiyuan back. From now on, you are not allowed to walk around at will, and don't talk too much." The servant girl took the order and left.

After the maid left, Bai Heng said softly, "What do you think, third brother?"

Lu Qi tapped his fingers on the table, and after pondering for a while, he said in a low voice: "It's not easy to die, but it's going to die in the yard next door. If it's not for us, I don't believe it."

"Well, before we moved in, there was no one in the courtyard next door." Bai Heng nodded, just like Lu Qi thought, he always felt that this matter was not that simple.

As early as the first day they lived in Yiyuan, they asked the maid about who lived around them. It wasn't because they were out of curiosity, but because they wanted to have confidence in their hearts and not offend the nobles in the palace.

As a result of inquiring, the maids clearly said that there is only one yard next to Yiyuan, but that yard is empty.

People died in the now empty yard.

Both Lu Qi and Bai Heng felt that there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands manipulating all this behind the scenes.

From the poison on the son to the death in the yard next door...Bai Heng thought a little deeper, could it be that they came to the capital from Tongcheng because of someone's plan?

Bai Heng felt a little flustered in his heart. In his previous life, he had never been exposed to these things, and he didn't care about the situation in Beijing at all, so now he really felt a sense of frustration that he was struggling.

He thought he was reborn, and even if he had the upper hand, he realized that he was still too naive.

It's just that now is not the time to be upset, Bai Heng cheered up and discussed with Lu Qi how to proceed next. ...

On the other hand, the news of the death in the yard next to Yiyuan naturally reached the ears of the princess and the concubine.

The concubine immediately sent someone to check in the yard, but there was no movement from the concubine.

After the mother in charge of the concubine brought people to the courtyard, she found that the door of the Yiyuan courtyard next door was closed, no one was in or out, and the courtyard was very quiet, which was different from the noise and chaos they expected.

The mother in charge trembled when she saw this, but she didn't expect those two brats to be so capable and able to control a whole yard of servants.

Furthermore, someone died in the nearby yard, and those two little ghosts were so calm. She felt faintly alert, and planned to go back and report to the princess, but she must not underestimate those two little ghosts.

The mother in charge withdrew her mind and led the people into the small courtyard.

The yard next to Yiyuan has no name, even Yiyuan was named by King Su because Bai Heng and Lu Qi moved in.

Yiyuan and the unnamed small courtyard next to it were originally reserved for the prince's staff or family members of diners, but the emperor was afraid of King Su, so King Su dared to take in his staff or diners in the open.

Not to mention leaving the family members of the staff in the palace. Doesn't this mean giving the emperor a handle and a hostage in vain?

Therefore, these two courtyards were left empty, and no one lived in them for many years, until Bai Heng and Lu Qi moved in.

Even Yiyuan can only be lived in after a lot of tidying up, and the yard next to Yiyuan is naturally even more desolate and unpopular.

After the mother in charge led the people into the courtyard, she saw a female corpse floating on the water in the lotus pond in the center of the courtyard.

Even the bun was messed up, and the black hair was scattered on the water, shaking slightly with the waves, as if it had life force.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasped. The mother in charge held back her fear, ordered a few servants at random and said, "Go, get him and see who it is."

The servants who were pointed out all shivered in unison, spit secretly, gritted their teeth and walked over.

The servants used long bamboo poles to reach the female corpse to the edge of the pool, and then worked together to lift the female corpse up.The body of the female corpse looks slender, but because the clothes on her body have absorbed water and become thick, it took a lot of effort for the servants to carry the corpse up.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the servants saw the face of the corpse, they couldn't help but exclaim.

When the steward's mother heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "Shut up! Why are you arguing?!" The servants immediately shut their mouths when they heard the words, but they couldn't hide their astonishment.

When the mother in charge saw this, she couldn't help but thumped in her heart. She settled down, took a deep breath secretly, clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly, and walked towards the corpse.

The servants behind her also followed. They walked to the corpse and took a closer look. Although the corpse was swollen from soaking in the water, they could still tell who it was from the outline.

It was unexpectedly a concubine, Lian Ji, who was favored by the prince for a while.

The steward's mother's pupils shrank, and she yelled inwardly that it was not good. A few days ago, the concubine called Lian Ji to her and punished her, and this matter even came to King Su.

At that time, the princess wanted to get rid of this bitch so as not to be an eyesore, but she was persuaded by her mother, but who knew that Lian Ji died in this yard.

The mother in charge didn't dare to call the shots, so she could only order everyone to put the corpse in place first, and at the same time strictly forbid anyone to enter and leave the yard, and the people present were not allowed to leak any information.

Afterwards, the mother in charge hurriedly left the small courtyard alone, and returned to the main courtyard of the princess.

The princess had been waiting for her mother's reply, but seeing her panicked look, she frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Princess, it's not good, the one who died is..." The mother in charge whispered a few words next to the concubine's ear, and the concubine was shocked when she heard it, "Are you sure? Did you read it correctly?"

The mother in charge shook her head. Although the princess felt relieved, she was also a little puzzled, "Why did she die there?"

Looking at Wang Hao's expression, the mother in charge knew that Wang Hao didn't take Lian Ji's death seriously, so she said anxiously: "Wang Hao, my lord blushed because of Lian Ji and you a while ago, if now I know that Lian Ji is dead, How can I get angry."

"Why, is it possible that he can still blame Lian Ji's death on my head?" The princess twitched her lips mockingly.

"Princess, don't forget that bitch from Rulanju." Mom lowered her voice and said eagerly.

After hearing this, the princess was slightly taken aback, that's right, Ru Lanju's side concubine Xia has always ignored herself because of being favored, and what happened to Lian Ji a few days ago, wasn't it just that she was soliciting rumors in front of the prince?

Now if she heard that Lian Ji was dead, she would definitely try to throw sewage on herself.

Thinking of this, the concubine started to get nervous, and she hurriedly told the mother in charge: "Take care of the funeral quickly, don't let anyone see the body, just say that the dead is a poor servant girl."

"Yes, but the old slave brought people there before, and those people saw the corpse." The mother in charge couldn't help but regret now, she was too timid to bring many people there.

"It's all dealt with." Wang Hao said without any hesitation, waving her hand.

The mother in charge shrank her pupils when she heard the words, she could only grit her teeth in response, and quickly stepped back to deal with the follow-up. ...

Rulanju

Concubine Xia was lying on the soft couch, listening to the report from her confidant maid, she sat up after listening and frowned and asked, "Can't you get in?"

"Yes, Mrs. Yao who was in front of the princess went there early and sealed the courtyard. The inside and outside are tightly guarded, and slaves cannot enter." The servant girl replied in a low voice.

"Which one has no one seen before?" Side Concubine Xia asked again.

"No, it was a sweeping girl in Yiyuan who found the body at first. That girl was so young that she was terrified when she saw a dead person. How dare she go forward to confirm it."

"Well, you go and ask, is there any yard in the mansion that is missing people." Concubine Xia narrowed her eyes and said.

"Yes." The servant girl agreed, and then backed out.

After the servant girl left, Concubine Xia still frowned, she hated that she was one step too late and let Wangfei's people take the lead. It would be great if she could know who died. ...

King Su came to Shizi's courtyard early in the morning.

Some time ago, after Bai Heng looked at the prince's legs and feet, he prescribed a lot of medicines. King Su sent his confidant to fetch the medicine himself, and when he came back, he asked his confidant to cook the medicine himself.

After the prince drank for a few days, his complexion improved obviously, which reassured King Su a lot.

At the same time, he had a new evaluation of Bai Heng's medical skills.

Seeing King Su coming, the prince showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Father is here, have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"Not yet, let's use it together with you." King Su said, walking in front of Shi Zi, carefully looking at the other party's face, very happy that the other party's complexion is better today than yesterday.

The father and son chatted and laughed for a while, and the breakfast was ready. After the two had finished their breakfast, when King Su was staring at his son drinking medicine, Mo Shu walked in, leaned into King Su's ear and whispered a few words .

King Su frowned after hearing this, and said, "Understood, just let people stare, let them go." Mo Shu nodded in response, and backed out again.

After the ink book was withdrawn, Shizi asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, but someone died in the mansion." King Su said lightly.

"Oh? Who is it?" The prince put down the medicine bowl after drinking the medicine, took the teacup handed over by King Su, took a sip of the tea to dilute the bitterness in his mouth, and then asked again.

"Lian Ji." Su Wang said lightly.

The prince paused, obviously a little surprised, Su Wang continued: "The concubine's people have passed away, and the yard has been sealed off, and the servants are strictly prohibited from talking about it."

"Where did you die?" Shizi asked again.

"In the yard next to Yiyuan."

"Yiyuan?" The crown prince raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile on his face, King Su sighed when he saw this, "You can rest easy and recuperate, and those ghost tricks in the mansion can be ignored."

"How can we not care about it? People can die next to Yiyuan today, and people can die in Yiyuan tomorrow. Is this going to Bai Heng and Lu Qi?" The prince said coldly with his expression restrained.

"Maybe, maybe not, anyway, I'm here, so you don't have to think too much." King Su said softly, reaching out his hand to caress the crown of Prince Fu's head.
