Double-faced prince and concubine

Chapter 200 Fishing Out the Rotten Corpse

She stretched out her hand to shake the hanging wheel for fetching water. She felt that something was wrong. When she loosened her hand, the bucket hanging in the middle fell quickly and made a "bang" sound when it hit the water surface, shaking the upper shelf.

"Ah—" Xia Yue'er screamed, threw away the knife in her hand, and backed away repeatedly.

That night, the image of following the figure of the butterfly to the abandoned well suddenly popped up in her mind, followed by the horrifying memory of her falling into the well.

Princess Yue went crazy again?She went mad again?

A group of people looked at Xia Yueer's weird behavior and became suspicious.

Qingqiu took the opportunity to rush over, picked up the knife that Xia Yueer had thrown away, handed it to a servant to hold it, and then went to pull Xia Yueer away from the mouth of the well.

"Colorful butterfly! The colorful butterfly is inside—the colorful butterfly is in the well—" Xia Yueer exclaimed.

All the memories of that night were restored, Xia Yue'er was still terrified, as if she was still in the abandoned well.

"Ruixuan, where are you - come and save me, I don't want to stay in this well - help - is there anyone, help -"

He helped the maids to hug her, and finally supported Xia Yue'er, since she didn't want to stay in Ziyun Pavilion, Fang Siyuan asked the maids to send her back to Tingfang Garden.

In desperation, Doctor Yan gave her another needle to make her fall asleep first.

Yao's mother also arrived at Tingfangyuan. After Xia Yue'er fell asleep, she went crazy when she thought of Leng Lingxue going to see Xia Yue'er. She asked Qingqiu, "What did Miss Lingxue say to Princess Yue?" talk?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Qingqiu became angry and repeated everything Leng Lingxue said to Yao's mother.

After listening to Qingqiu's words, Yao's mother sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable."

Fang Siyuan heard Xia Yueer suddenly call Caidie's name, thinking about it carefully, that day Caidie disappeared for a day, Princess Yue fell asleep early in the evening, and passed out outside Tingfang Garden the next day, there must be something wrong known things.

In the evening, Zhongli Ruixuan came back.

Fang Siyuan reported everything that happened from morning to now, and heard Fang Siyuan mention that Xia Yueer said that the butterfly was in the well, and that she should not stay in the well. Others heard that Princess Yue was insane. But Ruixuan remembered what Xiaosheng had said to him in the Cuizhu Bazaar, and immediately ordered to salvage all the wells in Prince Rui's mansion, not to miss any of the abandoned ones and the dry ones.

Fang Siyuan assigned the servants and the guards to go down to the well to check immediately. When it was dark, a rotten female corpse and two shoes were fished out from the abandoned well in the garden behind Youlan Garden.

"Miss, Caidie's body was picked up, what should I do?"

In Youlan Garden, Cao'er asked Qiao Yunshu in panic.

Qiao Yunshu was extremely calm: "There is no proof of death, what are you afraid of!"

Beside the abandoned well, a torch has already been lit.

The female corpse has rotted beyond recognition, but judging by the jewelry she is wearing, she can be sure that it is a butterfly.

Zhongli Ruixuan walked over, picked up the shoes next to the corpse, and knew at a glance that they were Xia Yueer's shoes.

"I just want to ask at this moment, how is Princess Rui? Have you found out the real culprit who trapped her in the abandoned well?"

If Zhongli Ruixuan rang the flute sound again, it can be inferred that Xia Yue'er was trapped in the well, and happened to be rescued by the flute sound, and sent back to Tingfang Garden.

Who trapped Xia Yue'er in the well?How did Xiao Sheng come to Prince Rui's residence?What happened to Caidie's corpse?

"Hei Hu, go to the green bamboo market and find Xiao Sheng!" Zhongli Ruixuan ordered immediately.

After ordering Caidie's funeral to be handled properly, Zhongli Ruixuan turned around and went to listen to Fangyuan to ask Xia Yueer what she remembered.

Just as he was about to walk out of the garden, Zhongli Ruixuan suddenly bent down and picked up a shoe among the flowers.

"Whose shoe is this?" Zhongli Ruixuan raised the shoe and asked.

Some people shook their heads to express that they didn't know, while some people looked familiar and said that it looked like a butterfly.

Zhongli Ruixuan looked at the shoes and guessed that Cai Die was murdered and then threw her body into the abandoned well.

But what does this have to do with Xia Yue'er?

Xia Yue'er woke up, but she still hadn't forgotten what happened in the abandoned well, thinking about it made her heart shudder.

"Princess Yue, you're awake!" Qing Qiu stood by the bed, not daring to leave for a moment, and when she saw Xia Yue'er opened her eyes, she stood up.

Li Chunhua also asked attentively: "Princess Yue, are you hungry? It's time for dinner."

Xia Yue'er opened her confused eyes, looked at Li Chunhua, then at Qingqiu, then at the lights in the room, and asked in confusion, "It's time for dinner? Is it dark?"

"Yes. Concubine Yue, you are still injured, just eat in the room. I will bring the food in." Li Chunhua said, turned and left the room.

"Water...water..." Xia Yue'er wanted to talk about the well, but when she thought of being dropped into the well, her whole body trembled and her tongue tied up.

"Does Princess Yue want to drink water? I'll bring it right away!"

Qingqiu mistakenly thought that Xia Yueer wanted to drink water, and the tea in the room was cold, thinking that Xia Yueer should not drink cold water at this time, she turned around and went out to pour hot water.

"Qing Qiu—don't go—" Xia Yue'er was afraid, she sat up and called Qing Qiu to a stop.

Qingqiu turned around and said, "Princess Yue, I'll bring you some water."

Xia Yue'er quickly said: "No, no, no—I don't want water, don't go, don't leave me alone, I'm afraid..."

Qingqiu had no choice but to stay with her in the room, and asked her if she remembered something, related to the well?

Xia Yue'er nodded repeatedly, with a look of horror.

"Princess Yue, don't be afraid, Qing Qiu is here." Qing Qiu sat on the edge of the bed and held Xia Yue'er's hand.

Feeling warm in the palm of her hand, Xia Yue'er was not so scared anymore, she held onto Qingqiu's hand tightly and never let go.

"Princess Yue, what do you remember?" Qing Qiu asked again.

"Colorful butterfly...water well..." Xia Yueer took a long time before uttering a few words.

Qing Qiu comforted her for a long time before Xia Yue'er relaxed all over, threw herself on Qing Qiu, and burst into tears: "Qing Qiu, I almost died, and I almost lost sight of you..."

Outside the room, Li Chunhua brought food, saw Zhongli Ruixuan standing at the door, and called out: "My lord..."

Zhongli Ruixuan waved his hand, signaling her to keep quiet and not to go in yet.

I don't know if Xia Yue'er will overreact when she sees him, so Zhongli Ruixuan didn't go in immediately, but just stood outside the room and listened.

Under Qing Qiu's patient questioning, Xia Yue'er said intermittently: "That night, the ghost of Cai Die came to me...and asked me to do her a favor..."

The whole thing happened, that night when Caidie disappeared, both Qingqiu and Li Chunhua were called by Fang Siyuan to question her, the ghost of Caidie came to her and led her to the abandoned well, saying that she was killed by someone, Asked her to go down to accompany her, and then she felt as if someone strangled her neck, and then fell into the well, and found a dead body inside, and finally climbed to the top, but found that the mouth of the well was covered, and no one came no matter how much she shouted save her.
