On the way back to the capital, the people from Xiao Wangfu encountered an ambush, while the crown prince and others were also attacked by a crazy black bear, so they didn’t see the signal for help sent by Xiao Wangfu.
In the end, the big black bear was killed by Prince Wen and his guards. Although the crown prince and others were not injured, they were extremely terrified. They didn’t dare to stay any longer and wanted to leave. However, when they wanted to leave, they found out that they could not find the master of the mansion, Princess Fushou Zhang!
At this moment, a loud *bang* suddenly sounded from the south yard… …
“Imperial Aunt?” The Crown Prince’s face was very ugly. He seemed to be thinking something bad happened. He ran towards the Anning Courtyard like crazy.
Did something happen?
Xiao Zian and Prince Wen looked at each other, and then they quickly followed behind the crown prince, regardless of whether they looked embarrassing or not.
The Crown Prince was very familiar with the south yard, he arrived at Anning Courtyard after walking a few steps. And when he saw the scene in the Anning Courtyard, he was shocked.
“How could this happen?” Xiao Zian and Prince Wen came over a little late and then stood on the Crown Prince’s side while looking at the courtyard that fell into ruins.
In the end, they were fortunate. They cannot deceive themselves in this matter.
“Is Imperial Aunt inside?” Prince Wen pointed his finger to the pile of ruins, tentatively.
“No!” The Crown Prince reacted, then turned and shouted: “Someone come, come here, dig out…”
The Crown Prince said it was impossible, but he didn’t think so inside his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let people dig the ruins.
The guards hurried over and saw the collapsed Anning Courtyard. Their faces turned pale in fright: “This, this is… …”
“Its the bear. I’ve seen bear blood and bear footprints. The big black bear came in here.” The smart guard came forward and found the traces near the Anning Courtyard, and pushed all the blame on the violent big black bear.
No one can blame him. The situation was really bad now. If something bad happens to Princess Fushou Zhang and they can’t find the reason, they will be miserable.
“Hurry up and dig! You, you, and you go and look for the eldest princess.” The Crown Prince’s lips trembled as he spoke. At any rate, he was able to stabilize his emotion and didn’t make any inappropriate actions.
“Imperial Brother, Zian and I are going to look for people.” Now that things became like this, Prince Wen and Xiao Zian cannot have the heart to leave.
A group of people looked for the whereabouts of Princess Fushou Zhang like crazy. Xiao Zian was worried about Lin Chujiu’s safety and quietly ordered people to investigate Lin Chujiu’s whereabouts.
The south yard was very large, and most of the people were digging the ruins. Prince Wen and Xiao Zian led people to search separately. After searching for the hours, they still didn’t see even Princess Fushou Zhang’s shadow.
The two returned to the Anning Courtyard without success. From a distance, they heard the crown prince’s angry and frightened voice: “Imperial Aunt, this is impossible, impossible, this can’t be Imperial Aunt… …”
The two didn’t need to ask to know that Princess Fushou Zhang died in the Anning Courtyard.
“Things have become troublesome.” Xiao Zian and Prince Wen ran into the Anning Courtyard. In there, they saw the Crown Prince half-kneeling beside a woman in red, with her face down. But judging from her figure and dress, she was undoubtedly Princess Fushou Zhang.
“What happened? Imperial Aunt is dead?” Prince Wen came in and took a glance. His eyes fell on the female corpse.
“Is this Imperial Aunt? Turn it over and take a look.” Although the figure and the dress were very similar, to make things sure, Prince Wen asked the guards to turn over the corpse to reveal the appearance.
However, the guards haven’t moved, the Crown Prince yelled: “No, no, don’t turn it over…” While speaking, the Crown Prince grabbed his chest and threw up on the side. As if he was extremely terrified.
