The dead branches and waste soil that were originally buried in the well were turned up, and two black eye holes were facing King Lu directly.

Prince Lu's eyes were fixed and his mind was blank.

What is that?

Erniu saw King Lu sticking his head out without moving, and barked.

It found something strange, why didn't this person react at all?

The barking of the dog immediately woke up Prince Lu, and he reacted almost instantly to what it was.

In shock, Prince Lu staggered and fell into the well. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the well with one hand.

"Erniu, help me!" In a hurry, King Lu asked for help without caring whether Erniu could understand him or not.

Erniu rushed over and bit the wrist of King Lu that was clinging to the edge of the well.

If Erniu hadn't said that, King Lu would have been able to climb up quickly with just a little effort. But now the outcome is obvious: the big guy fell down neatly.

A horrible scream came: "Help!"

Yu Jin, who had rushed over, paused and shouted, "Fifth Brother, are you in the well?"

The King of Qin and his companions who came running over after hearing the screams were startled and asked, "Did the fifth brother fall into the well?"

Only the Prince of Xiang was trembling with his lips, unable to utter a single sound, his face as pale as a ghost.

How could this happen? How could this happen?

A terrible cry came from the bottom of the well: "Is there no one alive up there? Get me up there quickly!"

The brotherhood is so thin, these bastards have all come over, but they can only shout.

Hearing the King of Lu's shout, the King of Xiang woke up as if from a dream, and shouted to the servants who followed him: "Hurry up and pull the King of Lu up!"

He remembered that he had instructed his men to fill up the well. Maybe Lao Wu just fell down and didn't find Cui Mingyue's body - King Xiang thought with a glimmer of hope.

Soon, several servants worked together to pull Prince Lu up.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Prince Lu, who was sitting on the ground, coughed violently. His complexion was not much better than Prince Xiang's.

The King of Qin stepped forward and said with concern: "Fifth brother, are you okay?"

The King of Shu stood aside and shook his head secretly.

No wonder Lao Wu was bullied by his sister-in-law and couldn't even raise his head. He chased Erniu so hard that he fell into the well and couldn't climb out. He was too useless.

The King of Lu, who was despised by the King of Shu, wanted to move away from the well. As he moved, one of his hand bones fell off his body.

Looking at the dry bones fallen on the ground and then at King Lu, everyone's face changed drastically.

The King of Lu could not help but grin at the King of Qin: "Brother, do you think I am okay?"

King Qin stared at the lonely palm bone in silence.

King Lu was so aggrieved that he almost cried: "There was a skeleton in the well, and when I fell in, I bumped into that skull... Bah, bah, it really disgusts me..."

Of course he had seen dead people, but he had never seen a skeleton, let alone thought that one day he would have such close contact with a skeleton - whenever he thought of the scene just now, King Lu wanted to disregard his dignity as a man and burst into tears.

"Fifth brother, are you saying... there's a dead person in the well?" The King of Shu was the first to react. He glanced at the King of Xiang, who had a miserable expression on his face, and strode to the mouth of the well to look inside.

The skull with empty eye holes at the bottom of the well stared at him silently.

The King of Shu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and quickly looked away.

The King of Qi seemed unconvinced and followed closely to see what was happening in the well. When he saw the situation clearly, he was immediately frozen.

The King of Shu looked at the King of Xiang and asked meaningfully, "Do you know that there is a dead person in the well?"

The King of Xiang shuddered and flatly denied: "Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense. How would I know there is a dead person in the well?"

"Then what about the dry bones in the well?" The King of Shu asked, not wanting to miss the opportunity to strike back at the King of Xiang.

It is obvious that the Eighth Brother is in cahoots with the Fourth Brother, who is his fiercest enemy. Now that he has the chance to strike him, he certainly cannot let it go easily.

The King of Xiang tried hard to keep calm and said, "Who knows? There are so many people in the palace, and there is no mistress to supervise them. Maybe some evil servant killed someone and hid the body in the waste well..."

The King of Xiang's panic was suppressed as his reason returned.

Cui Mingyue has become a pile of bones. As long as he refuses to admit it, who will know that the bones in the well are the long-missing Miss Cui?

Yes, as long as he doesn’t admit it, no one can do anything to him!

Prince Xiang straightened his back subconsciously.

"Since a corpse was found in the well, let's report it to the police." A cold voice came.

The King of Xiang was startled, and quickly looked at the person who spoke, and said firmly: "No!"

Yu Jin was surprised: "There's a murder case, why can't we report it?"

The King of Xiang sneered: "Seventh brother, it's easy for you to say that. A corpse was found in the abandoned well of the King of Xiang's mansion. Will it sound good if it gets out? I can't afford to lose face like this!"

Yu Jin was even more surprised: "Could it be that for my eighth brother, face is more important than the truth?"

The King of Xiang paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "Seventh brother, don't be so careless. If this happened in your house, would you report it to the police?"

Not to mention the royal family, it is not uncommon for a few people to die in a year among wealthy and idle families, but I heard that which family has reported the case?

Who knew that Yu Jian nodded without hesitation: "Yes, if we don't find the murderer, what will we do if he does evil again in the future? When your sister-in-law's elder sister encountered a frightened horse on the way to burn incense, your sister-in-law went straight to report it. Eighth brother is still a man, how can he not be as clear-headed as a woman?"

The Prince of Xiang was very anxious because of Yu Jin's pressure, and he refused to give in: "That's your Yan Palace's business. You don't care about your reputation, but I do. I will find a way to find the evil servant, but I can't report it to the police!"

Yu Jin smiled softly: "Eighth brother refuses to report the case, is it because he feels guilty?"

"Whoever feels guilty, if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

The King of Shu was happy to add insult to injury and advised: "Eighth brother, I think what Seventh brother said makes sense. The truth is more important than face."

Prince Lu was even more supportive: "I don't care. I have been hated so much today, I can't just let it go. If Eighth Brother is unwilling to report the case, I will tell Father."

Judging from the way Old Eight was making sobs, the person in the well might be one of those beautiful maids or handsome servants, who was killed by Old Eight.

Hiss——I thought it would be enough to tie with Lao Ba, is there still a chance to step on Lao Ba under my feet?

King Lu was so excited at the thought that he forgot to settle the score with the big dog that caused him to fall.

At this time, Erniu seemed to be forgotten by everyone. He sat in the corner, wagging his tail boredly.

Seeing that Yu Jin, the King of Lu and the King of Shu all advocated reporting the matter to the authorities and some even wanted to report it to Emperor Jingming, the King of Xiang lost the courage to persist.

If he refuses to agree, he will probably not be able to clear himself of suspicion.

Thinking about how Cui Mingyue was killed and handled cleanly, the King of Xiang finally nodded.

Let’s investigate. Cui Mingyue has now rotted into a pile of bones. He doesn’t believe that Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zhen Shicheng can find out anything!

Seeing the Xiang prince nod, Yu Jin glanced at the Xiang prince's mansion servant closest to him and said calmly, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear that your prince wanted to report to the authorities?"

The servant was startled, bowed and ran away quickly.
