The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 358

Chapter 358: Are You Talking to Me

Such a scene made one shudder.

The people of the Zhou family, regardless of gender, were all brought into the courtyard and gathered together. Even Prince Consort Zhou was the same!

Only Princess Luo Shu, after all, was a member of the royal family. At that moment, she still had some dignity remaining.

“The Crown Prince is so swift and decisive. I should find out what crime the Zhou family has committed!” The princess spoke righteously at that moment.

“Since Aunt has asked, then follow me to take a look. I believe that after a while, you’d also think that the Zhou family’s crimes are extremely unforgivable,” The Crown Prince treated Princess Luo Shu the same as before.

At that moment, he had already sent people to the pool in the back garden to salvage.

The hydraulic workers dived into the depths of the pool to investigate. Several people updated the situation one after another.

After getting to the surface, they said respectfully, “There’s an old coffin at the bottom of the pool. There are large rocks on top of it, and the surrounding area is covered by iron chains. It will be difficult to retrieve the coffin for the time being. In addition, there are 19 wooden boxes placed around the coffin. There are crushed stones and bones in the boxes. Fortunately, there are no iron chains around them. In less than two hours, we will be able to fish them out first.”

Princess Luo Shu was extremely shocked.

“Coffin?! How could there be a coffin?!” Princess Luo Shu exclaimed in shock.

She took a step back, her face deathly pale, as if she had suffered quite a bit of shock.

The Crown Prince glanced at the Imperial Aunt with his side eye, “It seems that the Zhou family not only harmed people’s lives, but also concealed it from Aunt. All these years, Prince Consort Zhou has probably pretended to be in love with you.”

Princess Luo Shu’s body tensed up, and her gaze was fixed on the bottom of the water.

The hydraulic workers continued to work.

The Crown Prince seemed to be acting on a whim. The guests that he wanted to send off were all invited to the back garden to sit and watch.

To everyone, this was no different from watching an execution.

After a short while, a shabby wooden box was pulled out from the bottom of the water. Once the wooden box came ashore, almost all of it fell apart. Green-furred stones and a set of bones appeared in front of everyone.

When the little girls saw that, they were so scared that they closed their eyes and did not dare to look.

The coroner went forward and gave a simple check, “Your Highness, this skeleton should be a 16 or 17 year old woman.”

The Crown Prince gave a short response.

Not long after, another box appeared.

It was still… skeleton of a young woman.

One after another, in less than two hours, 19 boxes were lifted and placed in front of everyone.

At that moment, some of the guests at the back had already fainted from fear.

The Crown Prince still acted as if he did not see anything. He only asked someone to invite the doctor over, but he was not willing to let everyone leave.

The Crown Prince’s expression remained the same. He even occasionally sneered. As a member of the criminal division, Xie Pinggang was naturally very solemn at that moment. He observed the characteristics of these bones and tried to find some clues.

Not to mention the people behind him, even Xie Qiao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that.

As soon as the corpses appeared, some of the ghouls that had been pressed under the water had also floated up.

However, these ghouls were not very powerful. After they came out, they were like floating in the air, drifting about casually.

After floating for a while, they finally followed behind the Crown Prince, as if they had smelled something delicious.

There were quite a number of ghouls around the Crown Prince anyway, so it was not a big deal to have a few more.

However, there was a ghoul in high spirits.

At that moment, it was right beside her.

It was also the same one who had warned her in the house.

“You’re really lucky. Just as you were targeted, the Crown Prince tied up the bad guy. You definitely won’t die, I’m relieved,” the ghoul was still muttering softly.

As it spoke, sorrow came from within, “It can finally end. But, what should I do? I don’t know where to go…”

“Follow me for now,” Xie Qiao whispered.

The ghoul was stunned and looked at her, “Are you talking to me?!”
