Going to the memorial hall?
A naked corpse?
A naked corpse with its face peeled off?
Just imagining it made his stomach churn non-stop.
Although the capital was big, there were countless strange things that happened, but this kind of case? This was unprecedented.
Although Jing Rong was shocked, he did not panic. What kind of world had he not seen before?
His expression darkened as he said, "The Capital Governor sent you here to inform me of this matter. Is this case related to the missing girls case?"
The man nodded repeatedly. "Yes, but the Capital Governor only suspects it, so he ordered this lowly one to inform Your Highness." He glanced at Ji Yunshu. "He also instructed me to inform Teacher Ji that the Emperor has given full authority over this case to Teacher Ji. He also requested that Your Highness and Teacher Ji go over."
In any case, the Capital Governor felt that this hot potato should be thrown as far away as possible.
However, Ji Yunshu was thinking that if it was really related to the missing girls case, then it came too quickly.
Jing Rong glanced at her, as if asking for her opinion.
She nodded.
Jing Rong then asked the man, "Where is the corpse now?"
"It has already been sent to the memorial hall."
"Mm. Tell the Capital Governor that this Prince will go with Teacher Ji in a moment."
"Yes."
The man bowed and ran away.
It was probably because he had been holding it in for a long time that he wanted to go out and vomit.
"Do you want to bring something with you?" Jing Rong asked.
This man had already grasped her tricks so well.
Ji Yunshu nodded. "Then, Your Highness, please wait for me for a moment."
"It's fine. Take your time."
'Take my time? Do you want me to wait for the corpse to decompose before going? '
Ji Yunshu secretly rolled her eyes at him. Then, she looked at Wei Yi, who was carrying a pile of objects not far away. She pulled him back to the East Courtyard.
She quickly took out a sandalwood box and rolled up a piece of paper. She also took a pair of gloves.
Wei Yi placed all the strange objects on the table. He put his hands on his hips and counted them happily.
"Shu 'er, can I bring all these home?"
"Why did you bring it home?"
"Because we don't have these at home."
Yes, these strange objects did not exist in Jinjiang.
"I want to bring some presents back for Xiaomi, Hua, Xiaodou, Uncle Fu, Yue 'er, and the wet nurse. Oh right, and Tie Zhu, Xiao Dan, Ah Bao, and Big Brother Jing from the kitchen. They are very good to me, so I promised them that I would bring them gifts when I reach the capital. Mother said that one must not go back on one's words. Shu' er, I'll bring them all back, okay?"
In fact, Ji Yunshu knew that Jinjiang was probably just a memory of Wei Yi.
He had a father and a mother.
But what about her?
There was nothing!
He took a deep breath and pulled his thoughts away from the dark clouds that were clouding his mind.
"Wei Yi, we might not be able to …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Wei Yi interrupted her.
"By the way, I also have something for Shu 'er."
As he spoke, he excitedly took out a box from his sleeve.
He raised it with both hands and handed it over to Ji Yunshu.
There was a very pure smile on her face.
"What's inside?"
"It's …"
"Wei Yi, I have to go out right now. Stay here and wait for me, okay?"
Wei Yi's hand that was holding the box immediately slumped down in disappointment. He muttered softly, "Does Shu 'er not like my present?"
"Of course not. No matter what you give me, I like it. I just want to see it when I come back."
Wei Yi quickly pulled her back.
"Shu 'er, where are you going? Don't leave me behind. "
"I don't want to leave you behind."
"But you went out with Big Brother yesterday and didn't care about me. I waited for you for a long time and went to sleep because I was too tired. Now, you can't leave me behind. Can you take me with you?"
He grabbed Ji Yunshu's arm tightly.
But she wasn't going to play, she was going to see the corpse. Naturally, she couldn't bring Wei Yi along.
Thus, she became serious. "Wei Yi, do you listen to me?"
He nodded.
"Good. You stay here and wait for me to come back."
He shook his head.
"Wei Yi!" She called out to him sternly.
He lowered his head, as if he knew that she was angry. His hands slowly left her arm and he took a step back.
He said in a low voice, "Okay, but promise me that you won't leave me behind."
She reached out and caressed his head. She smiled and nodded firmly.
After leaving the East Courtyard, Jing Rong had already prepared a carriage for her.
The memorial hall was located in the south of the city. It was quite a distance from here. She didn't know how to ride a horse. It seemed that Jing Rong was taking care of her.
Jing Rong was already on the horse. He glanced at Lang Po and Lang Po opened the curtain.
"Teacher Ji, get in the carriage."
Based on her previous habits, she always walked to the memorial hall. Wouldn't it be too much to take a carriage?
She steadied her expression and looked at Jing Rong.
Hey, hey, hey, we're not going on patrol. Is it really okay to make such a scene?
Jing Rong understood her thoughts. He kicked his horse and walked two steps forward.
"The capital is a hundred times bigger than Jinjiang. This Prince doesn't mind if you want to walk there."
"When did I say that I wanted to walk there?"
"Then why aren't you getting in?"
"I …"
Fine, she admitted defeat.
She lowered her eyes and got in.
She glared at Jing Rong before lowering the curtain. Jing Rong still didn't understand what she meant.
This carriage was a little too extravagant.
She wasn't used to this kind of treatment. Those who didn't know would think that she was Princess Rong.
She didn't know if Jing Rong did it on purpose or not.
Moreover, this luxurious carriage was heading towards the memorial hall in the south of the city.
She shook her head. Forget it.
Just as the carriage started moving, the curtain was suddenly lifted and a person quickly entered. Before Ji Yunshu could react, that person was already sitting beside her.
"I'll go with you!"
Her voice was sharp and clear.
Jing Xuan raised her chin. Her eyes seemed to be smiling. When she looked at Ji Yunshu, she was a little overbearing.
"Princess? Why are you here? "
"Why can't I be here? I … I came to find Imperial Brother, not you. I heard that you were going to investigate the missing girls case, so I came with you. "
Ji Yunshu indifferently said, "Princess, please leave. Investigating a case isn't a game."
Hearing this, Jing Xuan was very unhappy.
