The princess does not have a bridal chamber

Chapter 188

"He's dead? Where is he?" Shangguan Chen asked anxiously, frowning.

"It's, it's in the well in the back garden." The house slave had already been frightened, and his speech was a little slurred.

"Take me there quickly!" Seeing his frightened look, Shangguan Chen said without bothering to ask further questions.

After trotting along with the slave, Shangguan Chen smelled a stench as soon as he entered the back garden.

He frowned unconsciously.

A large group of people had already surrounded the well, and when they saw Shangguan Chen coming, they exploded with a loud bang.

"What's going on, who is the deceased?" Shangguan Chen walked forward quickly, and before he saw the corpse, he was already getting a headache from the strong stench of corpses.

Hua Rongrong had already heard about the incident in the back garden, so she also followed the prince at this time.

"Go back to the lord, this corpse has been severely decomposed, and it is impossible to recognize who it is." A slightly older nanny knelt on the ground and said. Was extremely frightened.

Huarongrong also tentatively moved forward, the monstrous stench made Huarongrong almost faint several times, Huarongrong had no choice but to hold her breath, and rushed over with the oxygen remaining in her lungs. Only then did I see the female corpse that had been soaked and swollen all over.

Now that he had reached this state, it was no wonder that the nun couldn't recognize who the deceased was.

Hastily glanced at it, deeply remembering the characteristics of the deceased's clothing, Hua Rongrong quickly backed out, let go of the hand covering her mouth, took a few deep breaths, and then looked at Shangguan Chen: "Look at that clothing, it is our palace The servant girl in the palace, as long as you find out which servant girl disappeared in the palace some time ago, won’t you be able to confirm who the dead person is.”

"Bold, you are a kitchen maid, you don't stay in your kitchen honestly, what are you doing here in the back garden?" The elderly nun said angrily when she heard Hua Rongrong's words.

Originally, the back garden was under her jurisdiction, but now that such a big incident happened, I was worried and anxious. This useless princess is still causing trouble here, for fear that the prince will not think of punishing himself?

"Let her continue talking." Shangguanchen stood more than ten meters away from the mouth of the well, looked at Huarongrong with a deep expression, and said solemnly.

Hua Rongrong received Shangguan Chen's signal, so she didn't care about it as much as the nanny, but turned to look at the nanny: "I don't know why the nanny found this corpse so late, judging by the degree of decay of the female corpse, it must have been dead for a while. It's time."

The mother glared at Hua Rongrong resentfully, then hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shangguan Chen: "My lord, the well in the back garden was originally used to water the flowers and plants in the garden. In addition, it was summer, and there was a lot of rain, so I seldom watered it. It was also the servant girl who smelled the stench in the well recently, and it was getting worse. Only then did the old slave notice that something was wrong, and ordered the slave to salvage it. Who knew it would happen? A rotting corpse will be brought up."

Shangguan Chen nodded slightly, and did not mean to blame the nanny, but only asked: "Then, has there ever been a maid missing in the palace?"

Mammy frowned slightly, and recalled: "No, although there are many maids in the palace, they are not missing. I don't know. As for why this female corpse was put on maid's clothes and lay dead in the deep well, old slave It's really puzzling."

As he said that, he kowtowed deeply again: "I hope the prince will calm down, the old slave is incompetent."

"Then is there any maid who asks for leave?" Hua Rongrong frowned deeply, thinking carefully about the tragic appearance of the female corpse, she asked tentatively.

While speaking, she met the nanny's displeased gaze again, but at this time Hua Rongrong didn't care so much, even if she offended this nanny, she had to find out exactly who this girl offended, and she ended up with Such a miserable end.

Shangguan Chen looked a little leisurely at this time, playing with a fan in his hand, his long and narrow eyes stared straight at Hua Rongrong not far away, and there was not a flash of light.

"Didn't you hear what the concubine asked you? Why don't you hurry up and answer truthfully!" Shangguan Chen said slowly, noticing the nun's dissatisfaction with Hua Rongrong.

The mother was shocked when she heard the words, although she didn't understand why the prince called Huarongrong the princess at this time, she hurriedly turned her knees and knelt down to Huarongrong: "Back to the princess, there was a servant girl who came to ask for leave a while ago. , said that the old mother in the family fell ill and wanted to go home to serve, so the old slave granted her leave."

Hua Rongrong looked at Shang Guanchen in surprise, although she didn't understand why he suddenly said that she was the princess, but she couldn't care less now.

"How old is the girl who asked for leave? Take a closer look at this female corpse, is it that girl?" Hua Rongrong asked hastily.

"This..." The nanny hesitated with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"What's wrong?" Hua Rongrong frowned slightly when she saw the nanny's appearance.

"Back to Wangfei, you just saw the appearance of the female corpse, it was already swollen and rotten, you can't recognize the appearance at all, this old slave really can't determine the identity of the female corpse." The mammy lowered her head slightly and said.

Besides, the appearance of that female corpse was so terrifying and disgusting that people would definitely not want to take another look at it after seeing it for the first time.

"Has anyone else in the mansion asked for leave?" Hua Rongrong asked again, frowning deeply.

"Back to the princess, that's not true. In the past two months, only the laundry maid Ruyi has asked for leave, and there are not a few other maidservants." said the nanny.

Shangguanchen had been standing in the distance looking at Hua Rongrong who was serious and focused. A smile flashed across his mouth at some point. This Hua Rongrong was different from what he had imagined. No surprises.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what Li Fei said, who is right and who is wrong, has been redefined in Shangguanchen's mind, but the beautiful man with strong martial arts who hovers beside Huarongrong, every time Shangguanchen thinks of it, he always thinks of it. It was as uncomfortable as eating flies.

"Since the princess is quite concerned about this matter, let the princess handle this matter herself." Shangguan Chen lost his mind and listened to Hua Rongrong's analysis in the back garden. Shaking his fan, he left.

After walking far away, Shangguan Chen recruited a right-hand assistant and ordered: "Go and find out who the man who appeared next to the princess is!"

"Yes." The assistant took the order and left immediately.

"Laundry maid?" Hua Rongrong fell into deep thought, and then said: "The body has been soaked like this, I'm afraid there will be no clues on the right, you can find a place to bury her properly, and then send some money to her family."

Mammy hurriedly kowtowed: "This old slave takes orders."

The servants and maidservants gathered around gradually dispersed, and Hua Rongrong's situation had also changed in an instant.

From then on, the content of the conversation among the servants was no longer about how cruel and ruthless the princess was, but about the kindness of the princess.

If there are still people in the palace who speak ill of the princess, they will definitely be refuted: Did you see the princess set fire?Did you see the princess bullying others?The princess is kind-hearted, how could she do such a thing?

Hua Rongrong was in the center of the storm of public opinion, and she didn't show anything unusual. This Shangguanchen's inconsistent approach was really hard to see through.

Hua Rongrong simply didn't bother to look at it anymore, she just did her own thing well.

It was getting late, Hua Rongrong went back to the kitchen after asking the nanny.

The adult's nanny had already known what happened in the back garden, she never thought that Huarongrong would return to the kitchen, and when she saw Huarongrong's figure from afar, she hurriedly greeted her with a flattering face.

"Wangfei, your lord has a lot of people, so you will definitely not be as knowledgeable as the old slave. In the past, the old slave didn't have eyes and offended the princess. I hope the princess will not be offended."

"It's all because I didn't do well in the past, what the nanny taught me." Hua Rongrong glanced at the nanny who was beside her, and said calmly.

Hua Rongrong was filled with loathing for someone like her who followed the wind.

The nun was shocked when she heard the words, she knew that Hua Rongrong was holding her breath, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Hua Rongrong, and kowtowed.

"The old slave was wrong, and I dare not do it again."

In the blink of an eye, there were large blood marks on Mammy's forehead.

"Okay, get up quickly." Hua Rongrong bent slightly, helped the nanny up, and said.

"The old slave dare not!" The nun in charge buried her head even lower, cursing Hua Rongrong secretly in her heart, what a vixen, even though she has been relegated to the kitchen, she can still be favored by the prince and promoted to princess again.

"Since Mammy really doesn't want to get up, then continue to kneel, I can't force it." Hua Rongrong didn't show politeness to her, and after she finished speaking, she ignored Mammy in charge and walked towards the kitchen.

"This..." Mammy didn't expect Hua Rongrong to say that, and now she knelt on the ground and got up, and it was extremely embarrassing.

"Congratulations, Sister Wangfei." Concubine Li led a group of maidservants, just in time to see the embarrassment of the nurse in charge, and said in a charming voice.

"Concubine Li congratulations, I don't know why I am so happy?" Hua Rongrong turned her head, feeling almost annoyed by Concubine Li to death.

This shit stirrer, why is she everywhere!

"Sister Wangfei has changed from a maidservant to a princess again, isn't that something to celebrate?" Concubine Li laughed.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the nanny in charge who was kneeling on the ground: "It's just that this shelf is quite fast. The prince has never liked such a woman. Sister Wangfei should not get carried away."

There was a sneer on Hua Rongrong's face, she pretended to be puzzled and said: "Concubine Li has a clear understanding of Wang Ye's preferences, but it is a pity that Wang Ye doesn't seem to like you too much, so far, she is just a side concubine. .”

"You!" Concubine Li was so anxious that she couldn't speak for a while.

Everyone in the whole house knows that her inability to be promoted to princess is the pain in her heart, and it is a scar that no one can touch. angry.

"Okay, if you have time to find fault with me, why don't you go back and continue to study the prince's preferences, maybe you won the prince's favor that day, so I will promote you as the princess." Hua Rongrong sneered.

Concubine Li slumped in front of Hua Rongrong, her face flushed with anger, she snorted coldly after a while, and said to the servants: "Let's go!"

Hua Rongrong didn't keep her, so she knew that Concubine Li was going to complain to the prince, so she didn't care.

He walked briskly back to the simple room, lay down on the bed after washing up, and prepared to fall asleep.

Tomorrow, I still have a lot of things to do...
