Chapter 1048 If you protect yourself, you protect me
Xia Baoer was shocked and wanted to ask who it was.
From the side came the urgent shouts of the imperial guards: "Hurry! I heard that the third prince drowned, tell General Wei that we should go over and help!"
In a blink of an eye, she saw a column of imperial guards running away along the palace road over there.
Looking in the direction, it seems to be the Taiye Pool in the palace.
Youlian said hurriedly: "The third prince always wants to bully you. I followed him because I was afraid that he would do bad things. Who knows, I happened to see Lu Dongliu kill him! Just last night!"
Xia Baoer's expression changed and suddenly became serious.
"You Lian, find a place to hide, and be careful about showing up in front of Lu Dongliu these days."
He must be crazy. He even killed Xia Yuancheng, the puppet he planted. Maybe he will do something even more terrifying next.
Youlian nodded: "I will protect you!"
Xia Baoer was moved in his heart.
She took the initiative to place a kiss between Youlian's eyebrows: "No, if you protect yourself, you are protecting me, okay?"
This action is the favorite among small fish.
Youlian remembered her words deeply.
The two parted ways, and Xia Baoer was about to walk towards Taiye Pond in a hurry.
A gentle call came from behind——
"Baoer."
Xia Baoer looked back and saw Gong Yufei, wearing a black robe and crane clothes, walking towards her with a smile.
His handsome and long eyebrows were full of love for her.
"Where are you going? You're leaving in such a hurry?" Gong Yufei came closer and wiped the sweat from her forehead with his fingertips.
Xia Baoer whispered: "Brother Afei, Xia Yuancheng was killed by Lu Dongliu! Lu Dongliu faked his drowning, and now Xia Yuancheng is floating in the Taiye Pond. I am going to take a look."
Gong Yufei paused with his fingertips.
His cold brows gradually furrowed, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll go with you."
When the two arrived at Taiye Pond together, General Xiang Wei had already led the guards to fish out the body.
A crowd of people surrounded Xia Yuancheng, whose face was already covered with a white cloth. When Princess Xiangwei and the Imperial Preceptor arrived, she quickly blocked them from getting any closer.
"Princess, National Preceptor, don't look at it. It's bloated and a bit ugly. It will scare you."
Xia Baoer seemed a little scared. She stood by Gong Yufei's sleeves and stood behind him.
"Uncle Xiang Wei, my third brother...how long have you been dead?"
Xiang Wei sighed: "I took a preliminary look and it should be more than four hours, but the specific time should be checked and confirmed by the operator."
Almost afternoon, it seems that Youlian is right, it is last night.
Xia Baoer didn't speak anymore, Gong Yufei's eyes were deep and he looked at the white cloth without saying a word.
Xiang Wei cupped his hands and said, "I still need to report this matter to Your Majesty, so I will take my leave."
Xia Baoer nodded.
Xiang Wei took the imperial guards and left carrying a stretcher.
After he left, Xia Baoer hurriedly asked: "Brother Afei, do you see anything wrong?"
Gong Yufei frowned deeply: "Xia Yuancheng has no soul."
"What does this mean?"
"Usually, after death, the soul will not leave the body for twelve hours, and has to wait for the Yin official to pick it up. During this time, it can't go anywhere except near the body. But just now, I couldn't sense the location of Xia Yuancheng's soul. ”
Xia Baoer's dark eyes were filled with a hint of seriousness.
"Did Lu Dongliu do it?"
Gong Yufei nodded: "If nothing else happens, he should be captured."
Both of them were a little confused.
Xia Yuancheng was Lu Dongliu's puppet. Lu Dongliu killed him and took his soul away. What did he want to do?
The little girl lowered her black eyelashes and thought carefully.
Seeing this, Gong Yufei shook her palm, tried to comfort her, and said warmly: "Don't worry about this, leave the rest to me."
