Chapter 1450: Chapter 1449 She is!
Ruji was one of the people in Chu Minghao’s back courtyard.
Chu Qianli didn’t know if Ruji was carrying Chu Minghao’s child.
People from the Prince Residence also came.
The current master of the Prince Residence was Chu Feiyan.
At this moment, Chu Feiyan was in the backyard directing everyone in cleaning up the aftermath.
Upon seeing Chu Feiyan, Xi Jiu felt a bit surprised.
In just one day she had transformed from a timid and helpless little wretch into the commanding and authoritative figure now standing among the crowd.
It was as if she had completely matured in just a day’s time.
"Commandery Princess Feiyan." Chu Qianli also saw her and quickly approached with Feng Yexuan’s support.
Chu Feiyan couldn’t help but let her gaze linger on Feng Yexuan for a moment.
Even though she knew she no longer had the right to dream of being with him, the magnetic presence of Prince Yexuan always captured one’s attention.
But she finally forced herself to reluctantly pull her gaze away from Feng Yexuan.
Chu Feiyan looked at Chu Qianli, expressionless as she slightly inclined her body: "Greetings, Princess."
"Commandery Princess Feiyan, is there any news of Ruji?" Chu Qianli asked urgently.
Chu Feiyan was somewhat taken aback. She also knew about Ruji?
However, Ruji was the favorite concubine of her brother the whole year, so it wasn’t difficult to find this out.
"For now, there’s no news of Ruji." But as Chu Feiyan spoke, her eyes showed a hint of gloom and sorrow.
In the backyard, there were six unidentifiable corpses; whether one of them belonged to Ruji, no one knew.
"Madam, madam... sob, sob, sob! Madam, you died such a horrible death!"
Suddenly, a maid rushed in from outside, ran to one of the corpses, knelt down, and wept loudly.
Chu Qianli and Chu Feiyan exchanged glances.
Chu Qianli gently pushed Feng Yexuan aside and slowly walked over with Chu Feiyan.
"She’s burned like this, unrecognizable, turned to charcoal. Why do you say she is Ruji?" Chu Feiyan asked, puzzled.
The maid, her face smeared with tears and snot, looked up at the two wanting to pay respects but was again overcome with grief, unable to speak.
It was uncertain how much time passed, but the maid finally hoarsely said: "Greetings, Princess, greetings, Commandery Princess, she... she is my mistress, sob sob sob..."
"Who is your mistress?" Chu Qianli frowned.
Some thoughts had flashed across her mind.
But on her face, she remained unshaken.
"Responding, responding to the Princess, my mistress is... Lady Ru."
Ruji!
Chu Feiyan immediately crouched down and grasped her shoulders: "You say she is Ruji? How can you be certain she is Ruji?"
The clothes were completely burned away, and an adult’s height had shrunk to a child’s stature, showing how severely the corpse had been burned!
At this point, how could anyone recognize her?
"My lady... sob sob sob! My lady has a gold collar specially made for her by the Crown Prince on her neck, sob sob sob... Commandery Princess, look! This gold collar can’t be removed, sob sob, she is the lady in question! Sob sob sob..."
A careful inspection of the neck of the corpse did reveal a very fine object.
Xi Jiu understood and gently picked at it with his sword: "Princess, it is indeed a gold collar!"
Chu Qianli’s legs gave way.
Feng Yexuan stepped forward swiftly, holding her tightly: "You promised not to be upset! If you can’t stay calm, this prince will take you back to rest!"
