Chapter 114 Want to Leave
"I don't know either. I really didn't expect that. When I passed by, the woman on the ground was covered in blood."
When he said this, the chief steward turned pale with fear. It can be seen that although he is in charge of the entire Prince Jing's Mansion, he has never seen such scenes of murder.
Xu Qingyin had never seen anything like this before. As a modern person, she had never even seen a dead person, yet she could actually see someone being killed...
Still in Prince Jing's Mansion, she suddenly felt unwell. She didn't want to stay in Prince Jing's Mansion for another second, but she was really curious about what was going on.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, as a prince who leads troops in battle every day, the security of the palace should be very good, right? How could you kill a living person so easily?"
Chu Qingyin's voice was shaking when she spoke. Lu Yan could clearly feel that the girl next to him was frightened and her legs were weak. He quickly stood up and supported her. For the first time, she felt him in her arms, but she could feel that her whole body was trembling.
"The protection of Prince Jing's Mansion is absolutely flawless, but don't be afraid. I'm here and I will definitely not let him hurt you."
Lu Yan's voice was extremely gentle when he spoke to Xu Qingyin. He turned to look at the chief steward and began to ask questions.
"Has anyone unusual come to our palace these past two days?"
Seeing that this was a bit like calling for an accusation, the chief steward was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly:
"It's impossible. All of us gatekeepers are dedicated to our duties. Not even a mosquito has come here. As for an assassin coming here and killing the women in our palace so easily, that's absolutely impossible. They live in the middle of the palace. If they wanted to kill someone, there would be so many people between them."
Lu Yan was lost in thought, and Chu Qingyin thought of a reason:
"Since it's impossible for someone to come from outside, then maybe they're inside the palace? Could there be any spies inside your palace?"
When saying this, Lu Yan also shook his head completely.
Although he was not favored in normal times, the people in the palace were all selected by his mother personally. Although the imperial concubine was all-powerful in the capital, it was impossible for her to extend her hand to Prince Jing's palace.
So he was able to ensure that everyone in the palace was fine. That was strange. How did Chun Xing die?
"I'm going to go take a look now. Do you want to come with me? I'm afraid the scene is a bit bloody and you can't handle it. If you're bored, you can just walk around my place and take a look."
"No, I want to go with you."
Although he was really scared, he still wanted to see this scene. After all, it was his first time seeing the legendary murder.
Xu Qingyin held Lu Yan's sleeve tightly. Lu Yan looked at her hand, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
"Okay, since you want to go and see it, I'll accompany you. If you're scared, just hold on to my hand. It's okay."
Since Prince Jing's Mansion was very large, each of these women had her own house. If we compare it to modern times, each of them would have three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and even a small garden. So they lived in very good conditions.
But after hearing that Chun Xing was killed, many people flocked here.
The other four women were all crying here, tears streaming down their faces.
"How is it possible? How could he die so easily? Even though I hate him on a daily basis, isn't this Prince Jing's mansion? How could he kill so many people?"
Dongxue was shivering. He remembered that Chunxing wanted Prince Jing to come and accompany him at the beginning, but seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Jing didn't want to pay attention to them during this period, he had become much more obedient.
How could he die so accidentally so soon?
This is a human life. Prince Jing’s Mansion is so big and there are so many guards. How could they kill someone so easily?
"Yes, this is His Royal Highness Prince Jing of Prince Jing's Mansion. He is so beautiful. He is the God of War of our entire Yunjin. How could he let someone die so easily?"
Seeing Lu Yan and Xu Qingyin come in, they immediately knelt at Lu Yan's feet as if they had found a lifeline.
"Your Highness, Prince Jing, there has been a murder in the palace. You must protect us. We don't bother you much on weekdays. If you find us annoying, you can send us away, but please don't let us die here."
At the beginning, they wanted to pounce on Lu Yan like hungry wolves, but at this time a murder occurred in Prince Jing's Mansion, and they no longer wanted to stay here for a moment, otherwise they would be afraid every day.
The woman who had argued with them a while ago was now lying on the ground covered in blood. As a lady from a noble family, when had she ever seen such a scene? They were so scared that they dared not speak.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, it was all my fault before. I will never bother you again. Your Highness, please spare our lives..."
Lu Yan: ...
Even he himself didn't know what was going on. What was the point of them all kneeling at his feet and begging for mercy? Although he often killed people in secret, at least he hadn't reached the point of killing people indiscriminately like now.
Xu Qingyin was just immersed in the fear of seeing the dead man on the ground, but now seeing these women kneeling at Lu Yan's feet and begging for mercy, she suddenly found it a little funny.
I never thought that the great God of War would encounter such confusion one day.
"This murder case naturally has nothing to do with me, but since it happened in my Prince Jing's mansion, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly. If you want to leave on your own, I would also be happy to do so. However, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened in the mansion."
When Lu Yan saw these people on the ground, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. If there was nothing wrong with the servants in the palace, and no one came from outside the palace, then the person who killed Chun Xing might be among them.
After all, this group of people were gathered by my mother herself. Although my mother might have selected them specially for me, most of the people in the palace have been old people who have been employed for more than ten years. There is no way she would kill them.
"Please, Your Highness, Prince Jing, please, Your Highness, I can't stay here for a moment. Please let us go, I'm scared to death."
The person who said this was Qiuyu. His eyes looked swollen from crying, and there were some marks on his hands as if he had been beaten.
I don't know why these things happened, but she is now determined to leave. It seems that she is really scared.
