Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Chapter 618 Murder

As the lake water gradually relieved her high fever, Baili Yue's complexion returned to normal, but she was still not awake.

After confirming that the effect of the medicine had worn off, Rong Mingxuan carried her ashore and covered her body with a robe.

The two men walked through the palace wetly, leaving a trail of water.

The maid was stunned when she saw them: "Princess! How could this happen?"

Rong Mingxuan placed Baili Yue on the bed. The old nanny rushed over after hearing the news and looked at the scene in surprise.

"General Rong..."

Rong Mingxuan said calmly: "When I was walking by the lake, I found someone fell into the water. It turned out to be the Thirteenth Princess."

"Quickly ask the imperial physician to come and treat the princess!" The old nanny hurriedly ordered the servants to ask for the imperial physician.

After a long search, everyone finally found the princess, but heard that she had fallen into the water. Fortunately, General Rong was there and rescued the princess in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The old lady recalled all this and felt a pang of fear in her heart.

At this time, Rong Mingxuan glanced at Baili Yue, realized that it was not appropriate for him to stay for long, and stood up to leave.

"General Rong, please stay."

The old maid stopped him with a heavy face and said, "Did you see why the princess fell into the water? Did someone deliberately harm the princess?"

Rong Mingxuan shook his head gently: "There is no one else around."

In order to avoid being seen, Rong Mingxuan deliberately chose a remote lakeside location for his operation.

The old maid said gratefully: "If it weren't for General Rong's help today, the princess would not have survived. I will report this to the emperor right away."

Rong Mingxuan did not stop him. He knew that this matter could not be concealed, and the scene of him returning to the hall wet had already spread.

As long as the drug incident is not discovered.

On the other hand, Ye Yu slowly opened her eyes and felt severe pain in her neck and numbness all over her body.

She found herself lying on the ground outside the room, looking confused. After a while, she remembered that she had come here to change her clothes and was brought here by a palace maid.

Just as she was about to enter the room, her vision suddenly went dark, followed by a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness.

"Did I faint?" Ye Yu stood up with difficulty, her body stiff and sore.

She looked around but didn't see anyone. "Where is the maid who brought me here? Why is there no one here?"

She became suspicious and immediately checked to see if any of her belongings were missing.

After confirming that everything was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Since the item wasn't lost, what happened? Where did the maid go?"

Ye Yu was very angry and decided to find the palace maid to ask for an explanation.

However, she was unfamiliar with the trail and soon lost her way.

"Where is the Imperial Garden? Why can't I find even a palace maid?"

She unknowingly walked into a fork in the road and came to a remote place.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone here?"

Ye Yu shouted loudly without caring about her image. She was lost in this huge palace alone and couldn't find the way back to the Imperial Garden.

At this moment, a pink corner of clothes flashed from behind the rockery.

Those were the clothes of a palace maid. Ye Yu frowned and raised her voice: "You, come out for a moment!"

However, there was dead silence behind the rockery, and no response.

Ye Yu was burning with anger. As a young lady of the Su family, how dare a little palace maid ignore her?

She walked over angrily, ready to give him a severe scolding.

But when she walked around the rockery, the scene before her almost scared her to death - a palace maid was lying quietly on the ground, surrounded by blood, and her horrible face seemed to be telling of endless pain.

Ye Yu was terrified and took a few steps back, then screamed: "Ghost, there is a ghost!"

Her voice was shaky and filled with fear.

In a panic, she tried to flee the scene, but accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, with blood on her hands. She looked at her bloody hands, trembling all over, and screamed in despair again.

Ye Yu screamed and crawled out of that terrible place, and accidentally broke into the imperial garden.

Her scream attracted everyone's attention. The surrounding ladies from noble families all looked at her strangely.

"How disgraceful it is to behave like this in front of the imperial concubine."

"Ghost... there is a ghost!"

Ye Yu spoke incoherently, repeating these two words over and over, and she was in extreme panic.

When everyone saw her disheveled appearance and the blood on her hands, they all showed expressions of disgust and unconsciously took a few steps back.

"What's going on? Why is there blood?" someone asked curiously.

Not far away, Ye Yunzi heard the noise and walked over quickly. Seeing Ye Yu's body covered in blood, she couldn't help but frown.

Ji Xinying nervously held onto Ye Yunzi's arm and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where did the blood come from?"

At this time, Ye Yu was still in shock, and said intermittently: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost..."

When Concubine Zhao heard about the unusual movement, she sent a nanny to find out what had happened.

When the nanny saw the blood on Ye Yu's body, she was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Miss Ye, what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?"

Nanny Gui realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly returned to report to Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao immediately ordered Ye Yu to be brought before her to inquire about the details.

Facing the bloody smell emanating from Ye Yu, Concubine Zhao covered her mouth and nose and comforted her: "Miss Ye, don't be afraid, tell me what happened."

Ye Yu was still in extreme fear and could only mutter to herself, "There is a ghost."

After being reminded by Aunt Gui, Ye Yu came back to her senses and said tremblingly: "I saw a palace maid, her whole body was covered in blood, and her head was smashed!"

Upon learning of this, Concubine Zhao's face suddenly changed, and she immediately sent someone to check behind the rockery that Ye Yu pointed out.

At the same time, the ladies around heard the news and were extremely panicked. They whispered to each other: "Someone died! How did he die? Was it murder?"

Concubine Zhao knew that this matter was of great importance and that the truth must be found out as soon as possible to calm everyone and prevent the situation from getting worse.

Ye Yunzi's heart sank, thinking that if something happened to the Thirteenth Princess, the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing Ji Xinying hugging her arms tightly in fear, Ye Yunzi patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Soon, Nanny Gui brought back a horrifying news from behind the rockery: a palace maid was found there with severe head injuries, apparently killed by self-inflicted injuries using stones.

This scene made everyone who witnessed it vomit uncontrollably, and everyone was extremely shocked and confused by this bizarre incident.

When Concubine Zhao heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy.

At the same time, a palace maid approached Baili Yan quietly and whispered something in his ear, causing his face to suddenly turn pale.

"What did you say? There's no one in the room?" Baili Yan's heart beat faster and cold sweat soaked his back.
