"Yes." Xi Mengyao nodded, she was very brave, and was not someone who was afraid at all.
The smell inside the memorial hall was even stronger. She pinched her nose as she walked over, pushing open the door and taking a careful look inside.
Only then did he realize that the only person inside was the princess of a foreign country.
It seemed that they were not as strong as the rest, who had placed the princess' corpse together with the rest of the people.
However, this was still a simple and crude place.
As she thought about it, she continued walking. Only now did she realize that it was very cold inside.
When she took a look inside, she noticed that the temperature was very low because there was a lot of ice inside. Furthermore, the interior was completely clean and did not have the previous stink.
It seems that the flavors... It should be outside...
She only took a glance at the corpses and wanted to go over, but the guards kept looking at her, their faces full of surprise. They were afraid that if she went over to take a look, the guards would be ready to scream.
She didn't know what these people were thinking, so she could only helplessly follow them outside.
After a while, she realized that there were other corpses here too. However, all of them had already been taken out.
Both of them were in a shabby little yard at the back.
That was where the rotten stench came from.
Xi Mengyao frowned, she held her nose and looked around. They were all dressed very poorly, and looked like they belonged to the poor. She did not say anything as she turned around and left.
Once he left the courtyard, he saw Song Chongjing with his hands behind his back looking at her, and through her shoulder, he saw the corpses of ordinary people.
He frowned as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only shake his head. He then sighed and said, "I just don't know. What is he trying to do?"
"Who cares what he does." When Xi Mengyao heard this, she felt displeased.
She knew that he was talking about Song Qian.
The man had been planning something behind the scenes, something she didn't like. The reason was just like Sima Zhao's heart. Song Chongjing asked this question not because he did not know, but because he knew.
However, he didn't want to deal with it at all.
"Let's set up another room and move them in." Song Chongjing turned his head and instructed.
This was originally an unequal era. Even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, in the end, she still could not directly say that she would bring out the princess and let her bask in the sunlight.
As she thought about it, she suddenly realized that it was a bit strange.
She turned her head to look around, only to ask the guard, "Do you see the Guardian in here?"
Generally speaking, a manor would have a guardian.
Most of them were old men.
However, the one that they had just captured didn't look like one either. The old man was plump and his legs were swift. Normally, people who weren't in a difficult situation wouldn't end up here.
"None …" The guards shook their heads.
Song Chongjing also noticed this problem. Previously, when he came, he clearly heard someone saying that there was someone guarding this place.
Unexpectedly, while they were talking, two old men who supported each other came in through the back door while trembling.
Upon seeing so many people in the room, they were shocked as well.
They just stood there, and it was as if they were greatly shocked. After standing there for a while, an old granny who was beside them finally passed by, and stretched out her hand towards Xi Mengyao while trembling, and asked doubtfully: "You guys … "Is he a human or a ghost …"
"We are naturally humans." Xi Mengyao said as she walked over and grabbed the old lady's hand.
The old man subconsciously tried to avoid her, but only after sensing the temperature did she stop and calm down. "Oh, so it's a human."
"What, why do you think we're not human?" Xi Mengyao asked indifferently at this time.
Hearing her say this, the old lady lowered her head, grabbed Xi Mengyao's hand, and confirmed once again that she was indeed human. She then sighed and said: "There's a ghost here, it's only been recently started.
As she spoke, she pulled the old man over.
"Here, we have always kept some nameless corpses flat. I don't know why such a noble person came to our place recently, but it must have been her soul that was uneasy …" "Love, look at how this mess is going …"
As she spoke, she raised her head again.
"If you have anything to do with her, then quickly take this person away!" She looked at Xi Mengyao again.
However, Xi Mengyao did not know what to say. She turned and looked at Song Chongjing, and retreated a step: "I'll leave it to you to decide."
Unexpectedly, after the two elders heard this, they looked at Song Chongjing in surprise: "You … Are you the Prince? "
Song Chongjing did not understand and only nodded his head.
Unexpectedly, the two old men only looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
Song Chongjing waited. Seeing that they did not seem to want to speak, he then sighed and turned to the guard, "Bring the princess to the small garden behind the palace and park there. Since the Emperor has ordered me to investigate this case, This King can't just let it go like this. "
The guards quickly picked up the corpse and left.
However, Xi Mengyao only looked at the two old men with suspicion. Ever since she found out that Song Chongjing was the Duke, the two of them looked at each other, as if they were communicating with each other.
However, from beginning to end, they did not say a single word …
Only after the princess left did the two elders come over to give her a big bow.
Three bows.
Such a big gift was somewhat unbearable for Xi Mengyao, but she didn't move, and only looked at the two old men. After seeing them bow, they walked over and grabbed Xi Mengyao's hand.
"Since he's the prince, then you're the princess?"
Xi Mengyao nodded.
The old granny didn't know why, but she suddenly smiled. Then she opened her mouth and used her finger to stroke her palm a few times.
Xi Mengyao only felt that her palm was cold, but could not see anything.
She was extremely puzzled, but at this moment, that person let go of her hand. Then, he just smiled, "Then this commoner will … "Then I'll send the prince off …"
"Just what kind of place is this, everyone's strange …" Xi Mengyao said to herself.
Song Chongjing quietly came behind her. He had been watching his all this while, but he was not clear about Xi Mengyao's intentions, nor did she walk over without permission.
Seeing her strange expression, he asked, "Do they have a problem?"
Xi Mengyao watched the back of the person who was supporting him as she left, but she only shook her head and said, "Let's wait and see."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the room.
After leaving the memorial hall, she walked around the courtyard as if she was taking a stroll. She pretended to pass by a corner and when no one was looking, she secretly took out a porcelain bottle and sprinkled some light green liquid on top of it.
