Chapter 50: The murder happened in the royal palace
When Xiao Qi woke up in the morning, she leaned on Changxi's arms, and when Changxi was dressing her, she suddenly sat up.
The little hand didn't know what to pinch, and the little face was covered with a layer of regret.
Changxi looked at her serious little appearance, a little funny, and asked softly:
"Princess, are you thinking about what to eat this morning? The slaves and maids are all ready, and they are all the princess's favorite food. ”
Xiao Qi rarely didn't look like a greedy insect this time, but Changxi served her to wash and eat.
As soon as Xiao Qi sat down at the dining table, Mrs. Wu's personal maid hurriedly ran over.
"Princess...... Princess...... Something happened to my wife......"
Changxi frowned and reprimanded:
"What a big dog, I didn't see that the princess was having breakfast, so flustered and rude, which rule is it!"
Changxi has recently studied with the housekeeper, and the rules of the princes and nobles have almost been learned.
knows that by the princess's side, a first-class maid like her must stand up for the princess.
Mrs. Wu's maid was also really frightened, and she couldn't care about Changxi's reprimand, and knelt on the ground in a panic and begged for mercy:
"The princess forgives her sins, something really happened, my master and she...... She's dead......"
The maid's words were changed, Changxi's eyes widened in surprise, only Xiao Qimian was not surprised, only looked at the maid, and said in a crisp voice:
"You should go to the housekeeper and report it to the prince."
The maid is also the six gods and no owner, when she is at home, the affairs of the inner courtyard are in charge of the master's mother, forgetting that the princess is young, and it is useless to tell her.
"Yes, the slave will go to the housekeeper."
The maid hurriedly ran out, and Xiao Qi looked at her back thoughtfully.
Changxi was frightened, why did the person who was fine last night die?
Seeing Xiao Qi in a daze, he thought she was scared, so he patted her and said:
"The princess is not afraid, Changxi is here."
Xiao Qi put down the cake in his hand at this time, clapped his hands, grabbed Changxi's clothes and jumped off the stool.
"Changxi, which courtyard does Mrs. Wu live in, lead the way, I'll go over and take a look."
Changxi looked at the princess in disbelief, "Princess, Mrs. Wu's side...... Well, let's not go, let's wait for the prince to deal with it. ”
Xiao Qi didn't listen, he ran out by himself, Changxi dared to delay anywhere, and hurriedly chased after him.
When he arrived at Mrs. Wu's courtyard, Xiao Qi looked at the layout of the courtyard, was silent and did not speak, and entered the room.
There were four maids beside Mrs. Wu, and now two of them were crying in the house, and when they saw the princess coming, they all asked for peace.
Xiao Qi was not afraid, he wanted to go to the bedside, but was pulled by Changxi.
"Princess, don't come near ......"
Changxi was afraid of scaring her.
Xiao Qi didn't care, walked over, and when he was on the side of the couch, he saw Mrs. Wu lying calmly on the bed, her clothes were all faded, and there were obvious traces of men and women having a happy time.
What killed her was a large patch of blood on the bedding that flowed down the bed to the ground.
Blood flowed from between her feet, and looking at the blood-infested area, she hadn't been moved.
There was even a smile on the corner of her mouth, her face was pale without a trace of blood, her lips were white, as if she had been dead for a long time, if not, she thought she was just asleep.
Changxi was so frightened next to him that his face turned pale, but Xiao Qi was still standing at the head of the bed, watching quietly.
The housekeeper had already found someone to return to the prince after knowing this, and Mrs. Wu's other maid had entrusted someone from the outer courtyard to send a letter to Mrs. Wu's mother's house.
Cui Yu was discussing in the court, and he didn't come as fast as Mrs. Wu's mother's house.
When she saw Mrs. Wu die so naked, Mrs. Wu's mother didn't mention it in one breath and fainted.
After waking up, she hid her face and cried, saying that Cui Yu had killed her daughter.
