His Majesty remained silent from beginning to end.
Only now did he glance at the two of them and stood up: "Let's go."
"Since the body has been found, come with me to take a look."
His Majesty stood up and strode towards the door without paying any attention to the expressions of the Empress Dowager and others.
Shen Fu naturally followed suit.
She had never been worried from the beginning. She sent people to guard the front and back gates of Ronghua Palace, making sure that Rong Qi's body was inside Ronghua Palace.
As long as the body is there, there is no need to worry about not finding it.
When Chen Fu stood up, she did not forget to lower her head and said to Rong Fei: "Sister Rong Fei, let's take a look together?"
Concubine Rong was kneeling on the ground, her expression had already changed. From the moment the guard entered the room, her expression became gloomier and gloomier.
Now after hearing what Shen Fu said, she couldn’t help but collapsed to the ground.
"Your Majesty." Nanny Qin hurried forward to help the person.
Rong Fei's hand was on Nanny Qin's wrist, but her eyes were looking towards the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager also looked unhappy. She had been able to keep her composure just now, but now she couldn't keep her composure at all.
It was obvious that someone had hidden the body, but it was found even though it was so secretive.
As long as Rong Qi's body is found, this matter will not be done anymore.
The Queen Mother held the nanny's hand with her eyes closed.
Sighed deeply.
It’s not that she didn’t try hard, but she was afraid that Rong Fei really couldn’t be saved today.
******
The body was hidden in the backyard. When Chen Fu and others arrived, the guards had already fished the body out.
Rong Qi's body was just laid on the ground. She had been thrown into the lake before, and her body was already emitting a rotten smell.
Now when it was fished out of the dry well, flies and insects were flying everywhere and a fishy smell immediately spread out.
For a moment, people were afraid to get close.
The guards who had salvaged the body had dismal expressions on their faces. The entire dry well was filled with the smell of a rotting corpse, and they were all soaked from having gone into the water.
When several people arrived and saw this scene, they stopped involuntarily.
Shen Fu had prepared in advance and was very willing to accept it.
However, His Majesty, who was standing aside, looked at the corpse on the ground, and the coldness between his brows deepened.
"Rong Fei, is this what you mean by leaving the palace?"
Rong Fei had just sworn solemnly that Rong Qi had left the palace, and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her guilt.
But she never expected that in the blink of an eye, she would see Rong Qi's corpse on the ground.
The words that were spoken were now returned to him intactly by His Majesty.
Rong Fei seemed to have her mouth sealed, kneeling at the feet of everyone: "My concubine... My concubine..."
"I don't know, Your Majesty, I don't know."
Rong Fei cried and stretched out her hands, desperately grabbing the hem of Your Majesty's clothes: "Your Majesty, I did not harm my sister in front of you."
She used to call him Rong Qi all the time, but now in front of His Majesty, she called him sister intimately.
"She, she is my biological sister, and she shares the same blood with me. Even if I am cruel, I will never think of killing her."
Even if the person is found, we cannot be sure that she was the one who killed him.
Rong Fei dared not admit it. She made incoherent excuses, wishing to put all the blame on Shen Fu.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't kill that man. I can guarantee it." Rong Fei grabbed the corner of Your Majesty's clothes with her fingertips.
"No matter how cruel I am, I will never kill my own sister." Rong Fei knelt at the feet of His Majesty and swore solemnly.
"I think what Sister Rongfei said is right." Chen Fu looked at Rongfei who was racking her brains, bit her lips lightly and stepped forward and said:
"Sister Rong Fei is Rong Qi's biological sister after all. They have a deep sisterly bond. How could she lay hands on her own biological sister?"
The more Shen Fu said this, the more Xiao Yu's brows furrowed.
He couldn't help but think of how her so-called elder sister bullied Chen Fu when she first entered the palace.
It has only been a short time now, but Shen Fu has already forgotten it.
Rong Fei only cried a few tears, and Shen Fu completely forgot the humiliation that Shen Qingru had inflicted on her.
If I hadn't discovered it early, I and Shen Fu would have missed each other for the rest of my life.
When Chen Fu mentioned it, Xiao Yu would naturally think of what happened before.
The more she spoke, the worse Xiao Yu's impression of Rong Fei became.
Anyone who does not care about the feelings between brothers and blood ties is really not worthy of being a human being.
But how could Rong Fei know what the Emperor was thinking now?
Seeing that His Majesty remained silent, she thought there was still hope for a turnaround.
"Rong Qi might have really fallen into the well and drowned." Concubine Rong racked her brains to distance herself from this matter.
Even at this point, she's still not honest.
Shen Fu looked at Concubine Rong and couldn't help but sneer.
He is really facing death, but he still doesn't repent.
"Your Majesty, maybe Concubine Rong really is unaware of the situation." Chen Fu continued to add fuel to the fire.
She knew the Emperor too well, and said the same thing, which made the Emperor even more suspicious.
But unfortunately, Concubine Rong didn’t know.
She knelt on the ground and nodded in response to Shen Fu's question. Although she didn't know why the bitch Shen Fu had the heart to help her, she had no other choice at this moment.
"Perhaps, perhaps she fell into the water and drowned."
After Rong Fei finished speaking, Shen Fu couldn't help but remain silent.
She didn't say anything, but the guard beside her came forward with cold sweat: "Your Highness, I have already examined the body."
"There were marks of beating on the head of the body. The wound was on the head. He was not drowned."
The guards were stained with the smell and did not dare to approach, but their words were sonorous and powerful: "When the servants found the body, it was tied with stones and sank into the well water."
"If the embroidered shoes on the corpse had not floated up, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find the body."
By the time the guards had finished speaking, the hint had been made clear enough.
"Sister Rong Fei, this is your palace. You are the only one in the entire palace who can do so many things in your palace and even throw the corpse into the water."
Chen Fu asked calmly, but Concubine Rong was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
Her hands and feet were shaking with anger, and at this moment all her hopes seemed to be shattered.
"You bitch, shut up!" Rong Fei said, gritting her teeth and adding, "It's all your fault. You've always wanted to frame me."
"Perhaps you were the one who killed Rong Qi and sent her body to me!" She clearly threw the body into the lotus pond.
As long as the cause of Rong Qi's death is concealed and time is long enough, Rong Qi's body will rot in that pile of lotus leaves.
If someone hadn't dug it out, how would she be where she is today?
Rong Fei's hands trembled: "It's you, it must be you, it was you who brought the corpse to the door of this palace!"
"You bitch, you just want to frame me!"
Rong Fei gritted her teeth tightly. After cursing, she still wanted to throw herself into His Majesty's arms: "Your Majesty, this is my wish."
"It was Chen Fu who framed me. Your Majesty, please make the decision for me, Your Majesty."
Rong Fei stepped forward and grabbed the hem of His Majesty's clothes, but Xiao Yu raised his foot and kicked her away: "You are so stubborn!"
"Ah!" Rong Fei was kicked away and her face hit the bluestone slab hard.
All the bones in his body seemed to be broken, making a few snapping sounds.
She was not even in a trance when she fell face first onto the ground, with her trembling hands supporting her sides.
