Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 184 The Prince's Merit

Hibiscus Garden.

Hongdou also thought of this. She silently asked Huangye with her eyes. Huangye nodded. Hongdou decisively stabbed Huangye's dagger into the killer's heart again, and the killer died immediately.

Now the problem is to deal with the killer's body. If the family knows about it, it will be easy to handle. Just find a car and dump the body in the deep mountains and forests. No one will think of it. However, Huang Ye is afraid that the family will be frightened, so it will be a bit troublesome to take the body away.

Huang Ye and Hong Dou rolled up the killer, whose blood was all over the floor, in a quilt and stuffed him under the bed. Fortunately, the killer was thin enough, otherwise he would not have been able to fit in. The two of them fetched some water and cleaned the room. In order to cover up the smell of blood, Huang Ye lit some incense. When they finished everything, it was almost dawn.

Huang Ye hugged the prince who was still guarding the windowsill in his arms: "Tonight, thanks to the prince, he discovered the killer and informed us, and then took the opportunity to sneak attack the killer, so that we have the opportunity to kill him. The prince is simply our lucky star."

The prince stuck out his neck proudly, looking at Hongdou with his little eyes, as if to say, "You always say I'm a useless foodie, now you know how powerful I am, right?"

Hongdou looked at its particularly anthropomorphic expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could only compliment it against her will: "Prince is awesome."

The prince was happy. It was not easy to get praise from this vicious girl. If it wasn't disgusting, she would have wanted to peck out the killer's other eye.

Seeing that it was still dark, Huang Ye asked Hongdou to go back to the house and rest for a while. When the sun rose, there were still many things waiting for her, and she had to think carefully about how to deal with the body.

When Huang Ye woke up, it was already bright. The maids and servants had already gotten up and were doing their jobs. Ruyi knocked on the door gently and asked Huang Ye if he wanted to get up and wash up now.

Huang Ye could not have imagined that she could sleep so soundly with a dead body hidden under the bed, and she did not feel any fear at all, and even slept better than usual.

"Get up." She responded to Ruyi and ordered, "Call Hongdou in. I have something to ask her."

Ruyi took the basin from the little girl. The hot water in the basin was for the young lady to wash. The little girl turned around and knocked on Hongdou's door again.

After Huang Ye finished washing, Hongdou also came over. Seeing Ruyi combing the young lady's hair, she didn't say anything, but just waited quietly.

"Sister, are we having beef noodles this morning?" The bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Hong Ge'er strode in and asked impatiently. He didn't eat all morning yesterday, and he felt like he hadn't eaten for many days.

"I thought you had gotten up a long time ago... Eh..." Hong Ge'er exclaimed: "Ruyi, go out first, I have something to say to your young lady." The expression on his face was not good, and Ruyi went out obediently.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" He grabbed Huang Ye's hand and pulled her up to check.

Huang Ye didn't expect that her second brother would come to her bedroom. Although she and Hongdou had cleaned up the blood and burned incense, the smell of blood was still there. Girls like Ruyi and the others couldn't smell it, but Hongger was different. As a warrior, he could smell the blood as soon as he came in. He instinctively felt that something must have happened.

"Second brother, sit down and listen to me." Looking at his face that was cruel due to worry, Huang Ye knew that he could not hide it from him, so he told him everything that happened last night.

"How dare you hide such a big thing? What can I say to you?" Hong Ge'er broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. Although he was not at the scene, it took the three of them, plus the poison, to deal with the killer. One can imagine how thrilling the scene was at that time.

"I'm just afraid that grandpa and the others will worry if they find out. They are all scholars and have never seen anything like this in their lives, so I don't want them to know." Huang Ye pulled his second brother's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"The killer's body is still under the bed. I thought of asking Hongdou to notify Qingyuer and ask him to find Xiao Zhao and find a way to get a carriage with a secret compartment to transport the killer out of the city and bury him in a hidden place. This matter involves Wuyou Pavilion, and if we are not careful, there will be endless troubles."

"My Qingsangju is very spacious, so why don't we bury him here to avoid the trouble of transporting him away," said Hong Ge'er.

"No." Huang Ye disagreed. If such a person was buried in the mansion, wouldn't it be very uncomfortable if people knew about it in the future? Moreover, burying him in the mansion was also an unstable factor. Now the timing was just right. There were too many people going in and out of the city during the New Year in the capital, and most vehicles were allowed to pass without inspection. It should be no problem for Xiao Zhao to secretly send the person out of the city. Then let Qing Yuer send someone to cover him. If something really happened, we can deal with it after the person ran away.

"Then do as you say." Hong Ge'er trusts his sister blindly. If his sister says it's okay, then it must be okay.

The family had breakfast in Huang Ye's garden. Everyone was discussing excitedly about going out to pay New Year's greetings today. Everything was the same as before. The three ladies in the family went back to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings after dinner. Huang Ye could not go out and had to stay at home to guard the door.

Huang Ye had asked Hongdou to tell Uncle Chen long ago that if someone came to take some things out, they should not be stopped in the front yard. Uncle Chen did not doubt it and just did what the young lady asked him to do.

An inconspicuous carriage covered with a green cloth sail drove in from the gate. The mansion was busy today, so it was normal for carriages to come in and out. With Uncle Chen's instructions, no one stopped the carriage from coming in, and it drove directly into Huang Ye's Hibiscus Garden.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage. Huang Ye was already waiting in the yard. He nodded when he saw him. Huang Ye gave all the maids and servants in the yard a holiday. Now only Hongdou and Ludou were left. There were some things Huang Ye didn't want to hide from Ludou. After all, she was the one who was going to accompany her into the palace. It would be good for her to know the dangers around her earlier and have more awareness of prevention.
