“I don’t know. Doctor Shen doesn’t know how it happened either. He was fine and suddenly stopped breathing. His body has already turned cold.” The person who reported spoke anxiously, not noticing that there was a carriage blocking their Great General’s path.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not stay still anymore. They came out, but they only stood on the shaft of the carriage and did not come down.
Only then did Duan Huai realize that two children were sitting in the carriage, one big and one small. However, he couldn’t care less at the moment who they were. He had to hurry back to the manor to check on Prince Yi. However, before he could turn the horse around, he saw one of the two people who had driven the carriage take out a token and raise it high. “When you see His Highness the Crown Prince, kneel!”
Duan Huai was even more shocked. He focused his gaze and saw that it was the Eastern Palace’s token. He hurriedly got off his horse and bowed. “I, Duan Huai, pay my respects to Your Highness!”
He quickly kneeled on the ground, although his eyes looked like they were looking at the ground, he wasn’t looking at it. He was panicking and moving around uneasily.
Why was the Crown Prince here?
That girl next to him must be the girl Prince Yi mentioned!
Just now, although his servant did not directly mention Prince Yi, he directly mentioned Doctor Shen… Even if the Crown Prince did not know about Prince Yi, he would definitely know that it was his men who had kidnapped Doctor Shen!
The Crown Prince and the girl’s appearance here must be motifs! It was very likely that they had come here to find Doctor Shen. They must have heard that Doctor Shen was in his residence even earlier!
Duan Huai was even more uneasy and at a loss.
After a while, only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan come down from the carriage.
“Lead the way.” Xue Yan only said.
Duan Huai was not a fool since he was able to become the Northern General. He immediately understood and led the way in an extremely respectful and uneasy manner.
The people guarding the gate had already heard that the person who had come was the Crown Prince. They all knelt on the ground and trembled.
Very soon, the people in the Great General’s Estate also learned that His Highness the Crown Prince had arrived. Without waiting for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to enter, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to take a peek.
He went straight to the remote courtyard in the backyard.
“This child’s death is too strange. He was fine just now, but he is now gone. There’s no wound, no poison, nothing. It’s as if he fell asleep.” Doctor Shen hurriedly came up and said in a panic.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also looked at Prince Yi, who was lying on the table, as if he was asleep. He may have looked like he was at peace, but his body was stone cold. He was dead. But it was really strange, just like Doctor Shen said. He didn’t say anything suddenly. There were no wounds or poison. He had clearly recovered much better than yesterday. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have died so suddenly.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. Xue Yan’s gears were turning. He never thought that the first corpse he would see in his life would be Prince Yi’s.
All these things came to his mind, and he naturally had mixed feelings.
Jiang Yue only frowned slightly. No matter how she thought about it, she still felt that this matter was strange.
They had originally wanted to find Duan Huai openly and let him know in advance. They wanted to see if they could lure out the two mysterious masked men and capture them all in one fell swoop. Now that he is dead, how else will they lure the two men out?
