“The prince, the prince has died!”
Mo Qingli and Mo Qinghan both paused at the same time, simultaneously saying: “Which prince?”
Could it have been Feng Qingjue, that idiot? Mo Qingli thought to this point, then looked behind her to glance at Feng Chenling. If it really was Feng Qingjue, then he would definitely be extremely distressed.
While Mo Qinghan could only think about that devastatingly beautiful Xiaoyao Yunshang. It it was him, then this would really be too upsetting!
Feng Chening staggered back a step, thinking back to when Feng Qingjue had told him that he would be leaving for two days. This was already the third day, and yet he hadn’t returned yet.
Could it be…
Feng Chenling ran to the bodyguard, grabbing her arm. “You… the thing you’re talking about, which… which prince was, was the one who died?”
The bodyguard hadn’t expected that the Sixth Princess’s consort would react so quickly, blanking out for a long moment. Not until Mo Qingli swooped over and returned Feng Chenling to her arms, glaring at the bodygard, did the bodyguard finally realize what had happened.
Thinking back to how the two princesses in front of her had been quarrelling over this consort, the bodyguard felt shivers trail down her spine. She had made the deadly mistake of allowing to consort to grab her! She was finished! The bodyguard felt her neck prickling—this time she would really need to move away as quickly as possible!
“Speak, who was it?” Mo Qingli hugged Feng Chenling, on one hand comforting him, while also staring coldly at the kneeling bodyguard.
“It was… it was the Xiaoyao Dynasty’s Fourth Prince.”
The fourth prince?
“Xiaoyao Yunbo!”
“Responding to the Sixth Princess, it was indeed Xiaoyao Yunbo.” The bodyguard kowtowed onto the ground, her entire body trembling, half-fearing that with a single mistake her head would be removed from her neck.
Feeling the person in her arms release a breath of relief, Mo Qingli’s heart relaxed as well. Coldly, she asked, “How did he die?”
“Responding to the Sixth Princess, it was because of excessive blood loss.”
“Excessive blood loss?” Mo Qingli furrowed her eyebrows, thinking for a moment. “This princess seems to remember that this Xiaoyao Dynasty’s Fourth Prince was married to Second Eldest Sister, wasn’t it?”
“Responding to the Sixth Princess, three days ago, the Xiaoyao Fourth Prince was indeed married to the Second Princess as her prince consort.” The bodyguard remained on the floor, responding deferentially as she prayed that her head wouldn’t be separated from her neck.
This was really too strange.
Since this Xiaoyao Yunbo had been married off to the Second Princess as her prince consort, then how had he come to die of excessive blood loss then?
“Do you know any more details?”
The bodyguard hesitated. Slowly she raised her head to look upwards, staring into Mo Qingli’s chilly black eyes. At meeting them her entire body shivered, and she immediately retreated her head as she started to recount what she knew. “Responding to the Sixth Princess, it appears that… that the Second Princess had the Xiaoyao Prince’s genitals were cut off, which is why, which is why he died of blood loss.”
“It… appears to be?” Mo Qingli’s tone was unsatisfied.
The bodyguard’s body began to tremble even more. “This… this bodyguard accidentally heard it from some of the Xiaoyao Fourth Prince’s retainers.” In order to prove that she was telling the truth, and to keep her head on her shoulders, she decided to tell a secret. “The matter of the Xiaoyao Fourth Princess, not only did the Second Princess not call a royal doctor, but she planned to bury the body himself. If it wasn’t for General Li finding out, then perhaps no one would have suspected that the Fourth Prince hadn’t mysteriously disappeared, but died instead.”
Mo Qingli’s delicate eyebrows wrinkled together. It looked like none of the women in this place were easy to deal with.
Huh? Mo Qingli looked around at the surroundings. Where had Mo Qinghan gone?
