When Ye Lan heard this, he hurriedly pulled Concubine Tang towards her courtyard.

Along the way, both of them were silent and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

It was not until they turned into Concubine Tang's courtyard and the two of them closed the door that Ye Lan's face no longer showed any sadness, but even a bit of joy.

"She's gone, Shuangshuang, she's gone!"

After hearing this, Ye Lan hugged Concubine Tang excitedly.

"So what? Without her, there will be the next princess. As long as you don't have a principal wife, the emperor will always arrange one for you." Concubine Tang curled her lips, obviously not interested in what Ye Lan heard.

"Silly Shuangshuang, as long as you have a child, the day you give birth to the child successfully will be the day I ask my father for a title. I will make you my princess, my legal wife, and we will stay together until we grow old."

Ye Lanting was even imagining their future.

"Then...when the prince returns from the palace, I have something to tell you."

Concubine Tang patted Ye Lanting on the back and reminded him, "It's time for the prince to go to the palace now."

Ye Lan lowered his head and kissed Concubine Tang on the forehead, then said, "Be good and stay in the yard until I come back."

On the other side, Liucheng and Liulu, who were crying in grief in front of the corpse, stopped crying a little when they saw Ye Lanting's leaving back, and their loud crying turned into soft sobbing.

Their red and swollen eyes were filled with tears as they stared blankly at the cold corpse on the ground.

When most people had left, Chu Qingyao's body was also wrapped up.

"You, where are you going to put the princess's body?" Liu Cheng asked with red eyes.

"Miss Liucheng, of course it should be put where it belongs. The prince has entered the palace, and soon the people in the palace will come to arrange everything. What we have to do now is to tidy up this place first. You don't want the princess to lie alone in the ruins, do you?"

The elderly eunuch spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Liu Cheng nodded slightly, and then she said, "Father-in-law is right. I'll trouble you then."

After saying that, she stood aside and stopped talking.

At this time, Liu Lu couldn't help but remind him: "Eunuch, please be merciful and be gentle, don't hurt the princess."

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, and she was actually a little nervous.

"Okay, okay, how can you say she is our princess? Although she has been here for such a short time, she is still a legitimate master. Don't worry! The prince will not ignore you. Now that this place is burned down, why don't you two girls go to the back yard tonight?"

After the eunuch said this, he ordered other eunuchs to carry the corpse.

"Don't we need to accompany the princess?" Liu Cheng asked with some confusion. After all, she was not familiar with the rules here, but it was always right to ask one more question.

"You don't need it now. You will be busy once the mourning hall is set up! Just take a good rest tonight!"

Liucheng and Liulv looked at each other, but still left reluctantly.

When they stepped into the backyard, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, two black shadows appeared quietly like ghosts.

One of them said, "The eldest lady has ordered that you two leave with us."

The person who spoke was Wen Yan. As he spoke, he pointed at the thick beam above the ground.

Looking in the direction he pointed, I could clearly see two bodies hanging there alone.

Liucheng's reaction was relatively calm. He just frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the two corpses.

Liu Lu, who was standing aside, was already frightened to the point of having a pale face and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

When she saw the charred body just now, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to look at it for another second.

The two corpses in front of her at this moment were so lifelike, as if they would come back to life at any time, which made her almost unable to suppress her inner fear and she screamed on the spot.

"But, but they..." Liu Lu stuttered and wanted to say something, but because she was too frightened, she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

Seeing this, Wen Yan quickly explained: "Don't worry, the two of you, the source of these corpses is absolutely normal and legal. Moreover, they are all carefully disguised through special means, and no one will notice anything unusual."

Wen Ding, who was standing nearby, also quickly agreed, "That's right, the young lady is always thorough in her work and will make sure that nothing goes wrong."

Hearing the two people's assurances, Liucheng felt a little relieved.

In fact, she had long been tired of this palace, which was full of intrigues and all kinds of despicable plots. It would be best if she could get away from this place as soon as possible.

So, she nodded slightly and said softly, "Thank you very much, both of you."

"Okay! Since you have no objection to this, let's set off quickly while the mansion is in chaos!"

Wen Yan raised his head and looked at the two corpses hanging high again, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Obviously, he was quite satisfied with his masterpiece.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Liu Lu felt that the surroundings were gloomy and her heart was filled with fear. She didn't dare to raise her head at all. She just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.

As she spoke, she hurried forward, as if something terrible was chasing her from behind.

Then Liucheng grabbed her hand.

"How can you be so sure that they will allow us to stay here overnight?" Liucheng pulled Liulu while looking at the two people in front of him puzzledly, secretly marveling at their ingenuity.

You know, in this situation, it is not easy to accurately predict these details.

"This is the only place behind the princess's main courtyard that is vacant and uninhabited, and it is not far from the main courtyard. You are the princess's personal maids, and now that something has happened, the servants will naturally not easily send you to other distant places. Besides, Prince Yihe is busy going to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, so how can he care about your whereabouts? As for the people below, of course, they will try to save trouble and effort, and arrange it in any way that is convenient!"

Wen Yan explained patiently, and then handed the bag he was carrying to them.

"Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't throw away the clothes you are wearing. Take them with you." He continued.

"That's right, don't leave anything behind that may cause trouble." Wen Ding on the side also quickly echoed.

Wen Yan carefully prepared two sets of black night clothes for them. In this dark night, wearing such clothes and leaving quietly was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.
