Chapter 1002 Corpse
In just one afternoon, three more maids died in the back garden of Prince Rong's mansion, and they all died for no reason.
Prince Rong ordered the secret guards to dispose of the maid's body secretly, and issued a gag order to everyone in Prince Rong's house to prevent this matter from being spread.
The servants of Prince Rong's Mansion verbally agreed, but they felt uneasy in their hearts. Moreover, no one dared to go to the back garden casually anymore. Even when passing by, everyone would try to avoid that place.
That place suddenly became a forbidden area in Prince Rong's palace, and no one dared to enter.
And that night, something incredible happened in the prison.
The jailers in the entire sky prison seemed to have taken ecstasy, and they actually personally released the two prisoners who had just been captured by the emperor's men a few days ago.
Not only that, they also changed the two prisoners into clean clothes, applied medicine to their wounds, ate a good meal, and then called a carriage and sent them off as if they were sending off an uncle.
Three hours after they left, it was daybreak, and the jailers in the sky prison collectively woke up at the moment the sun came up.
But they couldn't recall the memory of the previous night at all.
When they saw that there were no more prisoners in the sky jail, they realized that someone had robbed the prisoner and hurriedly reported it to the superiors.
At the same time, at one quarter in the morning, the secret guards of Prince Rong's Mansion were secretly disposing of two female corpses. The corpses were exactly the same as those of the maid who died the previous afternoon.
"Stop..."
Two secret guards were each carrying a corpse, trying to go to a remote small courtyard in the north. No one lived in that courtyard, and there was a dry well in it that was pressed by a stone mill. The previous corpses had been thrown into it. There.
Unexpectedly, before the body was thrown away, it was seen by Rong San who had gotten up early to practice martial arts.
Rong San came over and looked at the female corpse in their hands, his face changed, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has issued a gag order, please don't ask any more questions." A secret guard boldly replied.
Rong San looked coldly and kicked the secret guard, "Tell me, how did these two maids die?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Another secret guard knelt down on one knee and wanted to plead for the kicked secret guard, but when Rong San glared at him coldly, he was so frightened that he kept silent and dared not speak.
Rong San hummed, "If you don't say yes, then well, send these two corpses to the Yamen. There is a murder case in Prince Rong's Mansion. How can you not report it to the government?"
"Your Majesty, this..." The two secret guards were embarrassed, "The prince has ordered his subordinates to secretly dispose of these two corpses."
"What does my father mean?" Rong San's face was solemn, and he suddenly asked, "How many maids died in the mansion?"
"This..." The secret guard hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Three people died yesterday afternoon, and these two died in the early morning."
"How did you die?"
"My subordinates don't know either." The secret guard answered truthfully this time.
They really didn't know that these maids died silently. They didn't know that one of the maids was dead until they received the prince's order to carry the bodies.
Rong San's heart suddenly felt as heavy as a big stone.
He squatted down and carefully inspected the two corpses. There were no injuries at all on the corpses, nor were they poisoned. There were no strangulation marks on the necks.
It wasn't poisoning, strangulation, or suffocation.
No cause of death could be found, but the person died.
Rong San was confused.
He frowned and looked at the two corpses for a while, but still couldn't find the cause of death. He had to order the two secret guards to send the bodies away first, and then went to the place where the secret guards said the maid died.
Yesterday afternoon, the three maids all died in the back garden. Although they were not in the same place, they were not far away. As for the two maids in the early morning, one was the maid on night duty in the kitchen, and the other was the little maid on night duty in the prince's yard.
The two maids died in different places, but the cause of death was the same, and the time of death was only a quarter of an hour apart.
This is too weird.
The more Rong San investigated, the more weird it felt, just like...Gao Royi gave him a weird feeling.
Rong San thought about it and turned to the courtyard where Gao Royi lived.
In the past few days, because of the weird feeling Gao Roy gave him, he didn't want to see her and deliberately avoided her, so he slept in the study room all the time.
But today he discovered that it seems that ever since Gao Royi moved into Prince Rong's Mansion, there have been frequent deaths in Prince Rong's Mansion.
And the strange thing is that the ones who died were all the little maids who were getting married.
The previous deaths were all in the same manner, which prevented him from finding out the murderer.
As for the maids who died in the past few days, although the circumstances of death were different from those before, they still died mysteriously and the murderer could not be found.
To talk about a sudden illness is simply impossible. How could so many maids at such a young age die suddenly from a sudden illness in a short period of time.
If the feng shui of Prince Rong's mansion is not good, then it won't be the maid who dies, but the people of the Rong family.
Rong San thought about many reasons, but none of them were valid. The only explanation was that something strange was provoked in Prince Rong's palace.
And this weird thing only appeared after Gao Royi moved into Prince Rong's Mansion.
Rong thought twice about this and doubted Gao Royi's identity.
Unfortunately, it will take at least two months for the secret guards he sent to Jiangnan to investigate Gao Royi's identity.
As murders occurred one after another in Prince Rong's mansion, this matter became urgent and needed to be resolved. Otherwise, in less than two months, all the little maids in Prince Rong's mansion will be dead.
"The Crown Princess, the Crown Prince is here."
Before Rong San could get closer, the little maid guarding outside the door reported to the room.
When Rong San opened the door and walked in, he saw Gao Roy sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.
Gao Royi didn't seem to like having a maid wait on her. She was the only one in the room. She washed, combed, and dressed herself, and she didn't need a maid to wait on her.
Her little maid usually stays outside the door.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
After Gao Royi inserted the last hairpin, she stood up, walked over, and poured a cup of tea for Rong San herself.
Then, with a careful look on his face, he asked, "I just ordered the kitchen to make a pot of stewed pigeon soup. Do you want the prince to stay and drink with me?"
"That's fine, I haven't had breakfast yet." Rong San glanced around the room and found nothing suspicious, so he focused on Gao Royi.
Gao Royi looked very happy, with a hint of shyness on her face, and said with a blushing face, "Then I will tell the maid to bring the prince's breakfast here."
Seeing that Rong San had no objection, she called the maid in and gave her some instructions.
After the maid went out, Gao Royi sat opposite Rong San, her cheeks were slightly red and she said, "I went to Prince An's Mansion yesterday to pay homage to Mrs. Chu, and I also met Princess Chu Yu and Princess Chu."
