After Xiaolan's body was recovered, it was placed on the cold stone slab.
Yi Fangfei couldn't believe it. A living being that was jumping around just before the victory banquet had turned into a cold, silent corpse just two hours later.
She walked over tremblingly and squatted down next to Xiaolan's body, trembling all over as she looked at the painful face that seemed to have suffered a huge blow during her lifetime, and the big bright eyes that she had always praised for their beauty.
It was filled with resentment, sadness, and a hint of chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Xiaolan, are you going to die with your eyes closed? Who is it, who is so cruel, that they drown you alive in this lotus pond? Xiaolan, you must have tried hard to cry out and struggled desperately on the line of death, but I
But I didn't hear anything, and I didn't realize that you had been away from me for a long time.
I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I'm sorry, you can blame me, you can resent me, it's me, my master who is too incompetent and failed to protect you.
However, please rest assured, I will definitely help you find your murderer, definitely! Yi Fangfei stretched out her hand and tremblingly covered Xiaolan's widened eyes.
Xiaolan's eyes were closed, and she was lying there peacefully, just like when she first saw her, with a trace of rouge pink on her fair cheeks.
"Fei'er——" Wu Fengying hugged Yi Fangfei, whose hands and feet were cold. He looked at her with a pale face, holding on tightly to stay strong and calm. There was a hint of sadness in his ice-purple eyes.
, he was worried about her.
The three sage kings Wu Fengxuan, the fourth prince Wu Fengao, the sixth prince Wu Fengling, the eighth prince Wu Fenghuang, and the ninth prince Wu Fengyu all came over after hearing the news. They stood there with different expressions.
"Sister, don't be sad. Sister Xiaolan is so kind. Uncle Fairy must have recruited her to be a fairy." Wu Fengyu came over and took Yifangfei's hand. His eyes were bright and clear, as clear as a piece of fine wine.
Pure beautiful jade.
Yi Fangfei twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and squeezed out a faint arc.
Um--
She responded and closed her pupils slightly, fearing that the hot water droplets in her eyes would fall down at any time. So she tried hard to control it, and suddenly opened her pupils, and her eyes were clear and clear.
She smiled.
At this moment, she suddenly smiled lightly like a pear blossom in full bloom. A faint smile floated on her rosy pink lips. Her eyes were full of light and she rubbed Wu Fengyu's forehead. "Xiaoyu, you
It's quite right, if a kind person leaves, God will make her an angel, an angel of love." However, if a vicious person leaves, then the frying pan in hell is waiting for that person to taste it.
.
She didn't say these words because she didn't want the kind and simple Wu Fengyu to be infected with the dark atmosphere. She supported Wu Fengying's shoulders and stood up slowly.
She looked at the princes who came with a faint smile. "Wanrou is fine, let the third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, ninth brother, and eighth prince worry about it." Turning around, she looked at a palace prince with a soft look and a smile.
The eunuch inside. "My father-in-law, could you please send a few people to carry the body of my maid back to Prince Rui's Mansion. After all, this princess is having a fight with her master and servant. For the sake of friendship, I can't let her body stay there forever."
Here, so I’m sorry to trouble my father-in-law, I hope she can rest well in her own home.”
"Please don't worry, Princess Rui. I'm going to find a few people right now." The father-in-law took the order and called for people. Soon, several eunuchs came together and put Xiaolan's body on a carriage and left it from the palace.
The side door was lifted out.
Yi Fangfei looked at everything with a calm expression.
"Third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, ninth brother, and the eighth prince. Wanrou also has to deal with the death of the maid Xiaolan, so we can't stay here for a long time. Rong Wanrou is rude, so I will leave now." She was elegant and polite.
farewell.
"Seventh younger sister, I cherish you so much!" Wu Fengling's beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled slightly, and he sighed.
"If you need help with anything, just go to Prince Qing's Mansion to find your fourth brother." Wu Feng'ao's thick eyebrows were raised slightly, his dark and deep pupils were gleaming with light, he pulled Wu Fengyu's hand over and held his hand.
At your side.
"The same goes for Third Brother. Whenever Wanrou needs help, just tell Third Brother." The Third Sage King Wu Feng showed off his gentle black pupils, full of soft light.
The eighth prince, Wu Fenghuang, said nothing. His beautiful red phoenix eyes were calm and deep. His face was indifferent, but his hands hidden under his sleeves were shaking slightly.
Yi Fangfei calmly glanced at their faces, gently knelt down and said: "Wanrou thanks everyone for your kindness. But there is no need to make a fuss about a girl's funeral and trouble all brothers and sisters. Don't worry, Wanrou will take care of it herself.
"Yes." She bowed and looked back at Wu Fengying.
"Wu, Fei'er is very tired, let's go home."
Wu Fengying hugged her shoulders and looked at her distressedly. "Well - let's go home."
Their figures hugging each other, in the cold moonlight, the shadows were stretched very long, their backs were slightly cool, but there was an invisible power.
As soon as she stepped into Prince Rui's Mansion and entered Yuhe Pavilion, Yi Fangfei couldn't help but stumbled on her feet.
Wu Fengying had hugged her tightly for a long time. His ice-purple eyes were filled with water, and he looked directly into her eyes and into her heart.
"Fei'er, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry. If you cry, you will feel better." He patted her shoulder, and the gentle water in his eyes surged up.
Yi Fangfei looked at him intently. Suddenly, she choked silently and fell on his chest. At this moment, her tears were like broken pearls, flowing down and covering her entire face.
"Wu, it was my carelessness that harmed her, it was me who harmed her, it was me who harmed her." She finally took off her smiling disguise, crying that she was not careful enough or protective enough, so she let her go.
People around her were harmed.
"Fei'er, it wasn't you who killed her. The person who killed her was the person who viciously attacked her. Did you know that? So don't blame yourself too much. If Xiaolan knew something secretly, she would definitely not want to see you like this.
She looks like that." Wu Fengying stroked her pale face distressedly. "What we have to do now is to help her find the murderer who harmed her and let her walk peacefully on the road to hell. This is the best thing for her.
Payback, isn’t it?”
"Yes, Wu is right, I will definitely help her find the murderer. I must catch the murderer before she gets there, and bring him to Xiaolan's memorial tablet to confess his guilt. I will do it right away.
Let’s go find Beibei and discuss it with them. Let’s go now.” Yi Fangfei raised her sleeves and wiped away the tears from her eyes.
Wu Fengying pulled her back into his arms with pity.
"Fei'er, you are already very tired today, take a rest for a while. Leave the rest to Wu. I believe Wu, Wu will definitely do it for you, okay?"
His soft tone and gentle eyes were like water, paying attention to her and worrying about her.
"Fog--" Yi Fangfei looked into his purple swirling world, as if she was obsessed with his gentle eyes and could not be released for a long time. She nodded involuntarily and leaned on his shoulder meekly.
Well, maybe she also needs time to rest. She hasn't relaxed for a long time and she is tired. She believes that Wu will do it for her. She should trust Wu.
Wu Fengying patted her shoulder gently, relaxing her mood.
Slowly, her tense and stiff body gradually softened, and her eyes seemed to be soaked in the blur of rain and mist. Gradually, her pupils closed.
The slightly curled eyelashes were trembling, and the water was like dewdrops in the morning, and there was a rich luster floating on the eyelashes. I don't know when, she fell into a deep sleep in his arms.
Wu Fengying gently picked her up and slowly placed her on the bed.
He carefully took off her embroidered shoes and moved slowly.
The warm silk quilt gently covered her body. With soft eyebrows, he lowered his head and placed a compassionate kiss on her smooth and plump forehead.
Mayfair, sleep well.
Turning around, he stepped out and quietly closed the door.
The study room in Prince Rui's Mansion was brightly lit. He opened the door and saw Li Beibei, Hua Chuanzi, and Ye Xiangzi coming up to them.
"Fangfei, is she okay now?" Li Beibei was the first to ask.
"She was tired and just fell asleep." Wu Fengying said in a low voice.
They breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
"Thank you this time. It seems that because you were by her side, her recovery time was much faster than before." Ye Xiangzi patted Wu Fengying's shoulder gratefully.
Wu Fengying looked at them puzzled.
"Fang Fei, despite her seemingly indifferent appearance, is always prone to emotional fluctuations when it comes to the people around her. When we were on a mission, one of her partners was shot and killed on the spot by gangsters.
, and she was less than 0.5 meters away from her partner. After returning that time, she locked herself in the room and was depressed for seven days before she recovered. Later, when she went on a mission again, she insisted on going on missions alone.
Let the organization send anyone to team up with her." After Hua Po Cocoon's words, she paused. "Actually, she was worried that a second partner would die in front of her, so she would rather work harder alone than need a partner.
.”
Wu Fengying didn't quite understand some of the words in Hua Poyu's words, but he roughly understood the meaning. "Then you--"
"The same goes for us. In times of danger, she will never allow us to intervene. However, it seems a bit difficult to prevent us from intervening, because everyone is curious. My specialty is Beibei.
How can you not be tempted when investigating a murder case?" She smiled and took out a torn piece of gauze cloth from her sleeve and waved it in front of Wu Fengying's eyes.
"Look, this is evidence within a hundred meters of the murder scene. I think, judging from the scraps of cloth hanging on the sharp rocks and the blood stains, someone must have stayed on the road where Leng Cui Palace passed by.
"It's just that the situation was urgent and the other party didn't know what he saw, so he rushed into the bushes and hit the sharp rocks." Li Beibei wrapped the evidence in a piece of white silk and handed it to Wu Fengying's hands. "
What happens next depends on your ability. After all, for the palace, it is always easier for us people than you to move."
The three of them blinked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, left Wu Fengying with an encouraging smile, and walked out of the study one after another.
