Prince Rui was startled: "Pull it up and take a look."
I don't know where this corpse came from.
There was always a unique charm about Xiao Cunyu. The earlier incidents with the orphanage and the prince consort seemed like she had stumbled upon secrets, but each incident had a significant impact...
It was just a simple corpse and was quickly pulled up.
The clothes on his body were so tattered that only rags remained, wrapped around the corpse. A lot of green moss had grown on the gray bones. He must have been dead for a long time. When the guards were pulling the corpse, the biggest obstacle was the surrounding water plants. The water plants were quite tough. If someone who was not good at swimming fell in, they would definitely have no chance of survival if they were entangled.
Xiao Cunyu squatted in front of the corpse and began to clean the bones.
He carried several clean handkerchiefs with him and wiped the moss off the handkerchief. If he had enough tools, he might have polished it to make it shiny.
This has been done before. There were ghosts who died in bad looks and were afraid that their corpses would scare their relatives, so they came to her house and asked her for help. After touching so many corpses, she naturally didn't feel disgusted.
However, the two princesses who actually saw this scene were dumbfounded.
The third princess's hair stood on end. "How could you touch something like this? Xiao Qilang! Those are human bones!"
Prince Rui didn't care, and even admired Xiao Cunyu's boldness. "Seventh Prince Xiao, do you know the origin of this corpse?"
"This?" Xiao Cunyu glanced at the corpse, then said calmly, "It must be someone who fell into the water. Don't worry, Your Highness. The security in the capital is good, and there aren't that many shocking cases. I've found quite a few bodies like this in the past few days. You can have them carried back to my house later. I'll post their characteristics one by one, and some people will come to identify the bodies. If not, I'll do the good of burying them all. But don't worry, I've also told Lord Zong about this matter, and he'll have the people from the government keep an eye on it and won't do anything rash."
Prince Rui felt inexplicably angry.
Why aren't there so many cases here? This Xiao Cunyu might be deliberately fooling him.
"Third brother... I, I don't want to marry him. Look at him, his hands are full of dirt. I feel sick and smell bad when I get half an inch close to him!" Princess Baoyi and Prince Rui said.
"The emperor has already granted the marriage, so how can you decide whether to marry or not? Xiao Qilang has a clean family background, and his grandfather is the renowned General Xiao. The second princess can't even ask for this marriage!" Prince Rui scolded in a low voice.
Even if Xiao Cunyu does something bad, the Xiao family's background cannot be underestimated!
"Third brother! Originally I didn't mind that he had no achievements, but now... how can I marry him? He prefers to spend his days drinking and having sex! This habit is so terrible!" Princess Baoyi resisted more and more and tried to act coquettishly, hoping that her dear brother would understand her feelings.
"It's you who should marry and it's you who shouldn't marry! Baoyi, do you think the emperor will listen to your excuses?!" Prince Rui said coldly.
Princess Baoyi felt cold all over.
So what to do...
Princess Baoyi was anxious and angry. Feeling Le Yi's sneer, she clenched her hands a little tighter.
Didn't Le Yi want to snatch this marriage from her?!
If word got out that Le Yi was having an affair with the future Third Prince Consort, how could Xiao Cunyu still be qualified to marry her? Furthermore, Father would definitely not assign such a man to Second Sister, preventing Fourth Brother from gaining the support of the Xiao Family. It would even make Father dislike Second Sister for being ignorant, killing three birds with one stone!
only……
Princess Baoyi looked at Le Yi's defensive look and felt that it was a difficult situation.
