How dare she turn the tables and drag the Prince into it! Does she really think she's some kind of elder? She's just someone's concubine. The Princess is here, and she dares to call herself the mistress of the household? That's incredibly disrespectful to the Princess. She may be in charge of the household, but as for the mistress of the household…
Her eyes darted around, a strange light flashing in them. Just now, Consort Li and that head maid were clearly having an affair; their exchange of glances must have been a secret communication. Could this corpse really be related to Consort Li?
"Mother! Heng'er is so scared! How could there be an unidentified female corpse in the house? According to Consort Li, the Prince values peace and tranquility, so our Prince's Mansion should be a harmonious and warm place. Now, a female corpse has appeared. Isn't this a slap in the face to the Prince? Although you are no longer in charge of the household, you are still the mistress of the house, the rightful mistress of the Prince's Mansion. You can't just let this happen. You must investigate it thoroughly and give the Prince's Mansion a peaceful environment. Mother, you are the mistress of the Prince's Mansion, you will definitely do it, right?" Luo Zhiheng spoke with righteous indignation, her eyes filled with obvious admiration and filial piety.
The princess's lips twitched. She wanted to say, "Child, you overestimate your mother," but she also wanted to say, "This child doesn't seem stupid, so why is he so foolish at crucial moments?" Although she was a princess, she had no power or influence whatsoever. How could she possibly fight against Consort Li? How could she restore peace and tranquility to the royal residence? Anyone with eyes could see that Consort Li had supposedly disrupted the peace and tranquility of the royal residence.
Although she was pleased that Luo Zhiheng had protected her at this crucial moment, the Princess was powerless to change the situation. Even knowing that the corpse was definitely related to Consort Li, she couldn't just get involved. Consort Li had already given the Princess a warning and a show of force today. She knew the secret that the woman in the palace was pregnant with a prince, and she had to give Consort Li even more leeway. She understood Consort Li's meaning: if she resisted or opposed her again, she would surely become the unborn prince's sacrifice.
Consort Li is such a vicious woman. Two completely unrelated people and two separate incidents, yet if she wanted to, she, a princess consort, could very well become a scapegoat. She isn't afraid of death or suppression, but she still has Yun He. Her only fear is that this heartless woman, Consort Li, will extend her vicious hand to her son.
So the princess could only gently pat Luo Zhiheng's hand, not daring to look into Luo Zhiheng's bright eyes, and after glancing at Consort Li, she lowered her head and gave a bitter smile.
Luo Zhiheng didn't understand why the princess would react this way. She had already paved a way for the princess with her words. This was a good opportunity to make a contribution and establish prestige. If handled well, the princess could regain an important position in the palace through this corpse, and justice could be served for the woman who died mysteriously.
But the princess's words were clearly a rejection. Narrowing her eyes, Luo Zhiheng noticed the princess had just glanced at Consort Li. Her mind raced; there must be something fishy going on between these two. While the princess was very accommodating to Consort Li, she certainly wasn't afraid of her, at least not before today. But after just a brief exchange this morning, the princess's attitude towards Consort Li had changed completely.
It seems she hasn't fully grasped the situation between the Princess and Consort Li this morning. Of course, she's still an outsider in this palace; who would tell her the truth? But since the Princess has something difficult to say, she can't bypass the Princess and take over the matter.
Luo Zhiheng's face instantly changed, returning to a sweet and obedient expression, and she no longer mentioned the corpse. She couldn't do anything she wasn't confident about, nor would she be arrogant enough to think she was capable of anything. In this ruthless royal palace, she had to know when to advance and when to retreat in order to save her life.
Consort Li's face had already turned pale with anger from Luo Zhiheng's words. Seeing Luo Zhiheng actually laughing again, she clenched her fists. She had never felt so humiliated; she wanted nothing more than to tear Luo Zhiheng apart!
Among the crowd, some astute individuals looked at Luo Zhiheng as if she were an idiot. Was this little princess out of her mind? How dare she speak to Consort Li like that? It was an open secret that Consort Li was the mistress of the palace, yet Luo Zhiheng had completely absolved Consort Li of any responsibility, elevating the almost-retired princess to a high position. She was either insane or a complete fool!
Just wait for Consort Li's furious retaliation!
Luo Zhiheng affectionately took the princess's arm and said in a charming and cute way, "Mother, since we can't help here, let's go back. It's bad luck for the dead to be here."
The princess had long wanted to leave this place. Luo Zhiheng had been too obvious in trying to save face for her, but she had refused without saying a word. On the one hand, she felt sorry for Luo Zhiheng's protection, and on the other hand, she didn't want to continue being with Consort Li. So she smiled and said, "Alright, let's go back. When we get back, Mother will teach Yunhe a lesson and see if he still dares to be so ignorant and bully you."
Luo Zhiheng quickly waved her hands, looking anxious, seemingly genuinely afraid that the Princess would scold Mu Yunhe. She pleaded protectively with Mu Yunhe, "Please, Mother, don't be like that. There must be a reason why the Young Prince doesn't want me in the room. He's not feeling well, so it's understandable that he's upset. I'm his wife; if I don't understand and tolerate him, how sad he'll be. So, if he'll feel comfortable sleeping somewhere else, then I don't mind. As long as the Young Prince is happy, that's all that matters. Please, Mother, don't blame the Young Prince, okay?"
"Excellent! How could it not be good! I've never seen such a gentle and lovely girl, so devoted to her husband." The princess looked at Luo Zhiheng with such loving eyes that even the sunlight seemed unable to match her affection at that moment. Luo Zhiheng's words truly touched the princess's heart.
Sensible, well-behaved, obedient, and kind, most importantly, she always kept Mu Yunhe in her heart, protecting and tolerating him in every way. How could a mother not love such a girl? Especially since this mother was the mother of the man she was protecting and tolerating. So even though she knew that Luo Zhiheng's behavior was somewhat insincere, the princess couldn't help but feel happy.
The princess looked at her differently, patted her hand, and said lovingly, "You mustn't spoil his bad habits. It will break your heart if you suffer any grievances, Zongrang. Don't worry, as long as your mother is here, I will never let Yunhe bully you again."
Luo Zhiheng's eyes seemed to redden, and she lowered her head shyly. From her gentle profile, she looked like a child secretly delighted to receive the affection of an elder. But no one saw the glint of mischief in her lowered eyes.
Was she truly protecting Mu Yunhe? Of course not! She was using a strategy of strategic retreat. In front of the woman's mother, she needed to appear magnanimous, tolerant, protective, and even indulgent towards Mu Yunhe. No mother wants to see her son suffer at the hands of his wife. Only in this way could she truly and gradually win over the princess's heart. She didn't need a high position, but at least the princess could lend a hand when she needed help.
This could be considered a form of reciprocity. In the precarious situation of the Prince's mansion, Luo Zhiheng had to scheme every step of the way to ensure her survival and longevity. She knew the Princess Consort was not a woman without cunning, but she wasn't afraid. As long as she and Mu Yunhe remained comrades-in-arms, the Princess Consort had to stand with her on the same side.
Consort Li became anxious as she watched Luo Zhiheng and the Princess leave hand in hand. However, she couldn't think of a good way to cause trouble for Luo Zhiheng. Just as Consort Li was feeling frustrated, Hua Kai suddenly spoke up in a low voice.
Hua Kai had been observing Luo Zhiheng's actions and Consort Li's expression. Seeing that they both clearly wanted to kill each other but were struggling to find a way, she could only wait. Now, seeing that Luo Zhiheng seemed to have truly given up on pursuing the corpse, Hua Kai tensed up anxiously.
The master has given orders that Luo Zhiheng must not be allowed a single day of peace in the Prince's mansion. She must be made to suffer constantly and face endless trouble. Ideally, the people in the mansion should be made enemies of Luo Zhiheng, isolating her and making it impossible for her to move an inch, torturing her to death.
Moreover, this corpse was a 'grand gift' that the master had prepared for Luo Zhiheng long ago, and it had been waiting in this pond for a long time. However, it was definitely not meant to be used here at this time. If Luo Zhiheng hadn't suddenly disappeared and those damned guys hadn't come here and she hadn't been able to stop them, then this corpse would have been used on Luo Zhiheng later.
But now that this lead has been exposed, it must be fully utilized, otherwise it would be a waste. If this corpse can be used to incite Luo Zhiheng and Consort Li to fight, regardless of who wins in the end, these two are destined to become mortal enemies. Consort Li's methods, schemes, connections, and wealth are all quite formidable, though of course, she is far inferior to her master, but using Consort Li to deal with Luo Zhiheng would surely be an outcome her master desires.
For her mistress's sake, Hua Kai once again risked suspicion, timidly speaking into Consort Li's ear. Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of being overheard, but due to her nervousness, it rose and fell, making it difficult to hear: "Mistress, this servant looks at this corpse, she... she looks a bit like... like Consort Li..."
As soon as Hua Kai spoke, the entire pond fell silent, deathly still!
Even the princess stopped in her tracks, turning back in disbelief to look at Hua Kai. Luo Zhiheng, bewildered, could only stop as well, but her gaze sharpened for a moment, as if she could see right through people, as she looked at Hua Kai. 15397188
It's her again! Why is this girl everywhere? Isn't she Consort Li's person? Then why was she in her courtyard before? It's said that this girl left the courtyard last night…
Luo Zhiheng reverted to her innocent and harmless white rabbit appearance, but she had a plan in mind.
Consort Li's face was very ugly, and she said in a fierce voice, "What nonsense are you talking about! Didn't Consort Li elope with someone? The Prince even gave an order to capture Consort Li and bring her back to be executed. This matter was dropped because Consort Li could not be found, and the Prince also gave a death order that no one is allowed to mention this woman again. Who gave you the audacity to mention that slut again!"
Consort Li was so furious because the name Li Ji also made her heart tremble. She never expected that the name of the person she disliked would be spoken by the maid she favored. Consort Li wished she could tear Hua Kai's mouth apart.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die! This servant must have been seeing things! This servant was wrong! Please forgive me, mistress!" In front of Consort Li, Hua Kai was like a cowardly lackey, showing none of the arrogance she displayed in front of Luo Zhiheng. She knelt on the ground, kowtowing forcefully and begging for mercy.
But the more she did this, the more suspicious it seemed, as if she was trying her best to cover something up for Consort Li.
"Shut up! What are you howling about? Guards, slap this audacious slut twenty times! Let's see who dares to gossip like this again!" Consort Li said fiercely, showing no mercy.
The pear blossoms, with tears streaming down their faces, looked pitiful, yet she knelt there obediently, letting someone slap her mouth repeatedly with a two-inch-wide ruler. Her eyes were full of submission and guilt, but not fear or hatred, as if she were still a loyal maidservant to Consort Li.
Seeing Hua Kai like this, Consort Li felt slightly relieved. After all, she was a maid she had personally trained. Although a bit clumsy, she was truly loyal to her. However, this didn't excuse her from being punished for her sharp tongue. Consort Li then turned her sharp gaze to her trusted head maid beside her, her gaze cold, as if questioning her: Where exactly did you dispose of that vile woman's corpse? Was that corpse really Consort Li?
The head maid was already trembling with anger at Hua Kai's words. Seeing Consort Li's questioning gaze, she trembled even more, harboring intense hatred for Hua Kai. Consort Li was suspicious and would punish anyone who misbehaved. The head maid quickly shook her head, too nervous to speak properly; her eyes were red. But her expression was firm: "Your Highness, you really did dispose of Consort Li's body properly and bury it in the wilderness. This body definitely isn't Consort Li's."
Consort Li was flustered, but considering that the prince was not at home and she held power, she had nothing to fear. Moreover, she still trusted her maid's ability to handle things, so she did not punish the head maid.
But Consort Li couldn't help but look at the corpse's face. Half of the already rotting face was still relatively intact. Consort Li didn't know what she saw, but her pupils constricted, and despite the sweltering summer heat, she felt a chill run through her. She abruptly turned her head and glared fiercely at her head maid, her expression filled with intense hatred. But the head maid looked completely bewildered. Consort Li nearly vomited blood in anger!
"From now on, no one is allowed to mention the name Li Ji again. Dispose of this corpse quickly, lest its bad luck cause trouble for the men on the battlefield." This matter must be concealed and dealt with as soon as possible. Consort Li waved her hand, intending to suppress the matter, not even bothering to investigate the identity of the corpse.
She didn't want to, and even wanted to, cover up the matter as soon as possible, but Luo Zhiheng's interest was piqued, or rather, her interest in suppressing Consort Li was piqued.
She saw the interaction between Consort Li and the head maid clearly. There must be something between Consort Li and that Consort Li. Even her own maid said that the corpse looked like Consort Li. So who is this corpse? If Consort Li were truly open and honest, would she have disposed of the corpse in such a way that she would destroy the evidence?
"Wait!" Luo Zhiheng stepped forward like a shooting star, blocking the path of several servants who were about to carry away the corpse.
Luo Zhiheng had gotten involved again, and for some reason, Consort Li's eyelids started twitching wildly. She felt a sense of fear, as if something was gripping her heart. She remained calm on the surface, but her gaze was sharp and threatening: "What are you doing? I'm handling matters in the Prince's residence. This is none of your business."
Before Luo Zhiheng could speak, the Princess Consort miraculously spoke up, her gentle tone concealing immense power: "Consort Li, please watch your words. She is, after all, my daughter-in-law. Who are you to dare to boss around the young Princess Consort of the Prince's residence!"
Luo Zhiheng's large eyes narrowed like a cat's, and she smiled at the princess with a gentle and touched expression, like a child being protected by an elder, showing a kind of dependence on the princess. But in her heart, she knew that the princess was not entirely trying to help her. The princess probably also saw through Consort Li's shady dealings with the corpse and wanted to use this opportunity to find something to use against Consort Li.
I really thought the princess was a person without ambition, but when it comes to the crucial moment, she is just as decisive as ever.
Consort Li's expression suddenly turned strange, a sinister and indescribable smile playing on her lips: "Is Your Highness scolding me? I'm truly terrified. But what can I do? The Prince entrusted this household to me, so my word is law! If Your Highness truly believes that I, as an elder managing this entire family, don't even have the right to say a few words to a junior, then you can certainly go to the palace and petition the Emperor. Anyway, the Prince isn't home right now, and Your Highness is the wife bestowed upon him by the Emperor; Your Highness is very capable of seeking justice from the Emperor!"
The princess's expression changed, and her steps toward Luo Zhiheng, or rather, toward the corpse, froze. She clenched her fists. That vile woman! She had used that woman from the palace to pressure her again! This was a warning to her.
She glanced at Luo Zhiheng standing beside the corpse. What a pity! This was a great opportunity to seize on Consort Li's weakness and make her lose the prince's trust, but now she dared not make any rash moves.
Luo Zhiheng observed their brief exchange with a cold eye and concluded that Consort Li had something on the Princess and that Consort Li did not want the Princess to see the corpse. Did that mean that Consort Li also realized that the corpse was unusual?
"Consort Li's words are a bit presumptuous. The Princess Consort is the head of the household, and naturally, she doesn't need Consort Li to remind or arrange what she should do. Your Highness is being improper in this regard. Yes, you are now in charge of this Prince's residence, but that's all you are doing. Has the Prince said that you are now the Princess Consort of this household? If he has, how come no one knows? It's clear that the Princess Consort is still the Princess Consort. Even if the Princess Consort is no longer willing to manage the household, and you have made great contributions, you still need to remember your limits, don't you?" Luo Zhiheng said with a smile.
Seeing that Consort Li was about to speak, she calmly interrupted, saying, "Furthermore, a corpse was inexplicably discovered in the Prince's mansion. The kind and benevolent Princess wants to find out the truth and give the deceased a proper burial, rather than letting the dead become a wandering ghost. Why is Consort Li obstructing such a good cause? Didn't Consort Li say that the Prince's backyard is peaceful and serene? How can a backyard be peaceful and serene with a corpse lying there? Therefore, I think we should find out the identity of this deceased and the cause of death as soon as possible, so that everyone can have peace and tranquility, and avoid future panic. Everyone will worry that they will die mysteriously and be disposed of arbitrarily by their master, won't they?"
Her slow and deliberate words miraculously resonated with the servants. In their lives, their lives were worthless; they were always careful when their masters beat, scolded, or killed them at will. But they also cherished their own lives. If one day they were to suffer the same fate as the deceased, they would certainly hope that someone could help them seek justice, at least restore their identities, and prevent them from becoming wandering ghosts.
Perhaps it was because they shared the same feelings, or perhaps it was because Luo Zhiheng's words were too inflammatory, but dozens of servants looked at Consort Li in unison, their eyes filled with pleading, and also with a kind of cruel malice in their shared grief, as if they would do something if Consort Li did not agree to find out the identity of the deceased and give him a grave.
This was entirely a psychological suggestion. Luo Zhiheng was skilled in manipulation and was delighted to have subtly strengthened her team, putting pressure on Consort Li. If Consort Li agreed, she would suffer no loss; if Consort Li refused, she would offend a group of servants, and Luo Zhiheng would benefit in the same way!
Consort Li felt pressured by the gazes of the group, but she truly couldn't allow anyone to examine the corpse, as she already knew who it belonged to. She vehemently refused, employing both threats and inducements, attempting to intimidate the servants and then offer them some rewards. However, the servants remained unmoved, subtly developing a dislike and resistance towards Consort Li's words.
Seeing that the time was right, Luo Zhiheng's tone changed abruptly, no longer soft and pitiful, but with an irresistible forcefulness. She commanded the servant who was most furious about the matter with great magnanimity: "You, go to the yamen immediately to report the case and bring the coroner. Consort Li may not care about this, but I, Luo Zhiheng, will. I will definitely give everyone an explanation and will not let anyone die in vain!"
The dejected and gloomy spirits of the crowd were immediately lifted!
All eyes turned to the woman standing by the pool, her cool face bearing a faint smile. But this smile was no longer innocent and lovely; instead, it revealed an arrogant and domineering air. Her bright and resolute gaze seemed to find a crack in the hearts of those who were angry, and a surge of warmth and emotion rippled through them, rising and falling with her flowing hair and skirt.
Believe in her! That was the cry from the hearts of the servants who were oppressed to the point of exhaustion and despair at that moment!
The eunuch who had been pointed at rubbed his eyes hard, bowed to Luo Zhiheng, and ran away.
"Halt! Anyone who dares to leave this palace today will be killed without mercy!" Consort Li shouted fiercely when she saw that someone actually obeyed Luo Zhiheng's words and left.
The entire pond was silent, and even the little eunuch froze.
As the wind blew by, Luo Zhiheng's slow, soothing voice carried a calming power. Xiao Ran, resolute yet disdainful, said, "Just go ahead. I'll catch the sky if it falls. If Consort Li dares to kill without mercy, Luo Zhiheng will be there to protect you."
Rumble! Everyone felt as if those soft words had boundless power flowing into their hearts, and their gazes toward Luo Zhiheng were now filled with a hint of respect!
One more chapter today! Oh my gosh, Hua Sha added a thousand words today! Please give this adorable Hua Sha a reward! Throw your recommendation votes and comments at her! Begging you!
091 Sharp-tongued! The Princess strikes back! A mysterious master!
Updated: 2013-06-08 14:08:04 Word Count: 3285
Under the sunlight, the girl who was all smiles just a moment ago now seemed like an invincible, alluring demon. Her fiery red dress looked like a magnificent, blood-red feast in the sunlight. She still smiled, but her smile was now tinged with a vague, ruthless arrogance. In her unintentional upturn of her lips, there was also a kind of ruthless and roguish spirit, like a bandit who grabs his prey and won't let go, wanting to torture and maim it to death.
Consort Li felt a chill run down her spine. She had underestimated her! She had underestimated her after all! This Luo Zhiheng was born to be her nemesis!
Consort Li wasn't stupid; she had already realized that she had been tricked by that little slut Luo Zhiheng! Luo Zhiheng had subtly used her nervousness to intimidate and suppress her, but she had managed to gain the support of the servants through this very tactic.
In her eyes, these servants were nothing more than worthless lowly maids. She could kill them or sell them off as she pleased, and who would dare to object? Their lives were in her hands; she was their master.
But just now, because of Luo Zhiheng's instigation, these foolish servants had actually begun to show signs of rebellion against her! This was truly despicable. Luo Zhiheng had actually used these servants to render her helpless for a moment. Consort Li wasn't invincible, nor was she a martial arts master; she was wary of a group of menacing servants. Normally, these people were disunited, each acting independently, which didn't frighten Consort Li, but today they were unusually united. Just thinking about the way they had looked at her earlier terrified Consort Li!
However, at this moment, Consort Li couldn't care less about anything else. She could put the servants' affairs aside for now; she'd skin them alive later. But today, she absolutely couldn't let the officials get involved. The Prince cherished his reputation above all else. If this scandal were discovered, not only would the Prince's mansion look bad, but she, as the head of the household, would also be implicated. Most importantly, Luo Zhiheng didn't even need to understand the situation. If the Prince knew that the corpse before him was Li Ji, her standing in his eyes would plummet, and she might never have another chance to rise again. That was something she couldn't buy back even with a hundred excellent sons.
"Luo Zhiheng, who gave you the audacity to give orders here! Do you have no respect for your elders?" Consort Li was furious and embarrassed.
Luo Zhiheng suddenly switched back to her smiling face, but with a hint of roguish smirk: "My father gave me the courage, and I respect my elders, but you're not my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is right here, so what kind of elder are you? Of course, seeing how hard you've worked to manage this household for my mother, I can still consider you an elder, but please be mindful of the attitude and demeanor an elder should have, okay?"
That little bitch, how dare she call her petty?
Consort Li's eyes widened. Since they couldn't catch the person who went to find the officials, they should dispose of the corpse immediately. Consort Li pointed at her confidante and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and lift that unlucky thing up and throw it out!"
"Consort Li, are you getting old and hard of hearing? Didn't you hear me already sending someone to find a coroner? We need to investigate the cause of this person's death, otherwise next time someone in Consort Li's household might die mysteriously. Aren't you condoning murderers? What good will this do you? Didn't you say the Prince prefers a peaceful and tranquil place? If you condone murderers committing crimes in the Prince's mansion like this, everyone in the mansion will be in a state of panic. How can there be the peace and tranquility that the Prince likes?" Luo Zhiheng's small mouth rattled off a string of words, both accusations and sarcasm, further fueling Consort Li's arrogance, but also leaving Consort Li speechless.
Was Consort Li arrogant? Of course she was. But now Luo Zhiheng had arrived. This girl, who never played by the rules and always wore a smiling face, was captivating when she smiled, and chilling when she was assertive. She embodied arrogance with her words, a hundred times more arrogant than Consort Li, an arrogance that disregarded the consequences, an arrogance that seemed fearless—that was true arrogance!
"This is a matter for the Prince's residence, and it's none of your business. The right and responsibility the Prince has given you is to manage the young Prince. You'd better not force me to convict you of any crime that hinders my handling of matters," Consort Li threatened.
For a moment, Luo Zhiheng was frightened. She looked at the Princess, then at Consort Li, and said with her head held high, "You can't! You have no right to do this."
"What did you say?" Consort Li's voice became shrill when she heard that her rights had been denied.
Luo Zhiheng smiled and said slowly, "I said you have no right... to decide anything in the Prince's mansion on your own. Because the Prince clearly explained before he left that this family, the entire Prince's mansion, is supervised and jointly managed by the Princess. No matter what happens, without the Princess's approval, you, Consort Li, have no right to make decisions on your own. Do you understand, Consort Li?"
Consort Li's face went from pale to ashen, as if her life had turned black and white from that moment on. She trembled with rage; how could she have forgotten the Prince's damned instructions before he left? Consort Li didn't take the Prince's words seriously at all, and she believed the Princess wouldn't dare to boss her around again, so she quickly forgot about it. Luo Zhiheng's mention was tantamount to reminding everyone else who had also forgotten. 15397188 (The last line appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another text.)
This time, the way people looked at the princess was different; it carried doubt and surprise, but also a hint of respect. 12.
The princess keenly noticed the change in the group's gazes. She was pleased with Luo Zhiheng's thoughtfulness and quick wit, but even more surprised by her eloquence and composure in the face of adversity. She had already embarrassed the child once; this time, she absolutely could not allow Luo Zhiheng to lose face again.
“We cannot disobey His Highness’s orders. Although I do not want to get involved in the steward’s affairs, since this is His Highness’s order, I, as his wife, must cooperate.” The princess stated that she had also seen through the situation and knew what these servants wanted. Could she not win their hearts?
So he coldly said to Consort Li, "Since Heng'er wants to get involved in this matter, then we, as elders, should show the demeanor and tolerance of elders. You keep saying you are Heng'er's elder, but look at your attitude! I've taken charge of this matter. We will definitely get to the bottom of this. No matter who the deceased is, the Prince's Mansion will provide a proper burial. If the coroner finds that it was a premeditated murder, then the Prince's Mansion will definitely pursue the matter to the end, bring the wicked person to justice, and serve as a warning to others!"
