The punishment proposed by the emperor after the defeat was not systematically given at all.

The system said that if the mission fails, the host will wait to be sucked dry by the Red Umbrella Gu.

If the truth can't be investigated, Tao Mi'er will not have a chance to bear the punishment from the emperor.

It's just that Peach Mi'er deserves to swear, but in fact, she doesn't have a clue at all - where should she start investigating?

Kneeling on the ground and taking care of her matter, Tao Mi'er, who was thankful for her kindness, was "escorted" back to Afang Palace by Li Mao with three Royal Forest Army guards.

"Thank you, Master Lee." Tao Mi'er looked up at the plaque of Afang Palace, turned around and nodded slightly to Li Mao in thanks. Li Mao did not let people surround her along the way, but followed her not far away, as if they were really just escorting her back to the palace on the orders of the emperor.

"It should." Li Mao bowed his hand slightly, and then stood straight in place: "The minister is waiting outside the gate of Afang Palace, and if the master of the pet concubine has any orders, just send someone out to tell the minister." ”

Tao Mi'er knew Li Mao's scruples, nodded her head and went directly into Afang Palace after she knew - she had better think about how to investigate the truth.

It's a pity that Peach Mill thought about it in bed for a long time, but she didn't come up with a clue. She also knew that she would never get an answer to her thoughts.

But...... You have to have a clue to find clues.

"631631, is there really no other prompt in the system?" Peach Mill had a sad face, this task was a little more difficult for her.

It turns out that although 631631 doesn't have a good attitude towards Taomier, its essence is kind and soft-hearted.

"The host can take advantage of the system's rewards, and I remember that the system has sent you tips." As soon as 631631 opened his mouth, he gave a great hint to Peach Mill.

Hearing this, Tao Mi'er immediately recited the system silently.

"631631's so unkind, just remind me now." Momier complained casually when she took out the bag.

"Obviously stupid human, you didn't ask." 631631 decisively fried the hair. Why does its host always love to complain?

Tao Mi'er was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”

"For the sake of your sincere apology, the great intelligent system will not care about you." 631631 didn't really bother with Peach Mill.

After getting along for so long, the relationship between Tao Mier and 631631 has been greatly enhanced. Nowadays 631631 the "stupid humans" in their mouths are more intimate.

There are many ways to express feelings in the world, 631631 it's just more awkward.

With excitement, Peach Millet slowly opened the bag.

There was a small note inside, and the word "cold palace" was written in beautiful willow font on the note.

Peach Mi'er had a flash of inspiration, and felt as if she had caught something.

Generally speaking, there are no more than two kinds of women in the cold palace, one is one who has lost all ambition and is discouraged; The other is that not long after entering, the ambition is still there.

The first emperor came out of the queen mother and concubine Shu, and there was not a single woman left in the harem, and if you go further, it is estimated that there are few people alive, let alone those who are ambitious.

The range narrowed in an instant.

"Double." Tao Mi'er doesn't know much about the old things in the palace, and she only knows a few things that have been uploaded more on the surface. As for which palace concubine was defeated and left the scene, the people around her would not mention it, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

Therefore, at this time, you should find a qualified palace maid to ask one or two.

"What does the master command?" Shuangshuang put down the teapot in his hand and walked to Tao Mi'er.

Tao Mi'er didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Do you know which concubine has been sent to the cold palace since the emperor ascended the throne?" ”

Shuangshuang was not ambiguous, and after listening to Tao Mi'er's words, he blessed himself and said, "The slave and maid happen to know something." The three who were beaten into the cold palace, the first was Concubine Min who intended to murder the queen, and the second was a talented person who lost his honor in front of the emperor, and the last master had an intersection with her, it was Zhao Changyi. ”

Tao Mi'er probably knew Zhao Changyi's temperament, so she skipped Zhao Changyi directly: "Let's talk about the temperament of the first two." ”

She has preliminarily set the objects of suspicion as Concubine Min and highly talented people.

"When Concubine Min didn't enter the cold palace, the slave maid was still a little palace maid who had just been assigned to the Shang Pharmacy, so I didn't know much, I only knew that Concubine Min was already delirious when she was beaten into the cold palace." Shuangshuang didn't hide anything, and told everything he knew, "As for the highly talented person, the people in the palace who know her say that she is a kind and scheming person. ”

Neither sounds like they have a motive to take revenge on society. But the possibility that they pretend not to be pretentious cannot be ruled out. Peach Mill waved her hand to back down, frowning in thought.

In the end, Peach Honey decided to check them all out.

"Biqing, come out with me." Tao Mier now likes to go out with Biqing more and more. Not only because Biqing protects her, but also because she is very positive.

Momier knew that Biqing was an ambitious one. But she also gradually changed her concept, no matter what kind of palace maids they are, as long as they are used properly, they can play their role. Like Lolan, she never found a chance to pass the time, but she learned to use Lolan to spread false news to the outside.

Li Mao is a good courtier who is loyal to his duties. As soon as Tao Mi'er saw his tall back at the door of Afang Palace.

"Please also ask Master Li to go to the cold palace with me." Tao Mi'er stopped three steps away and spoke to Li Mao from a distance.

Li Mao looked up at the sky, and hesitated a little: "Master Pet Ji, it's already late for you to see the sky." ”

Tao Mi'er smiled slightly: "It's just a trip, it doesn't take too much time." ”

The system doesn't give much time, and she has to cherish every minute and every second.

"Yes." Li Mao gave up his hand and followed behind Tao Mi'er with three other guards of the Royal Forest Army.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Is it strange that Lord Li is suddenly going to the Cold Palace?" Before Tao Mi'er stepped into the cold palace, she suddenly asked Li Mao a question.

Li Mao can be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he was also assigned by the emperor, so he must have a certain ability, and Tao Mi'er thinks that he may be able to use him later.

"The pet Ji thinks that the person who raised the Red Umbrella Gu is in the cold palace." Li Mao replied

"Exactly." Mommy nodded.

While the two were talking, Bi Qing had already asked where Concubine Min and Gao Cai lived, and Tao Mi'er thought about it and went to the nearest Concubine Min's residence first

"Master, be careful, Concubine Min has madness." Biqing reminded Tao Mi'er as she pushed open the old wooden door.

"Is there something wrong?" It was normal for Concubine Min to be sitting by the window when she was not ill, and the bright light from outside penetrated through the open window into the gloomy room, illuminating her bright face.

"Concubine Min, excuse me." Although Concubine Min was beaten into the cold palace, her rank was still a concubine, and Tao Mi'er still had to salute when she saw her. "Concubine Min doesn't know that someone in the harem has raised a red umbrella Gu. I hope the lady has a convenient ......."

Concubine Min has a very hearty personality, and before Tao Mi'er finished speaking, she laughed and said, "Okay, let's search it." I don't have any secrets here now. ”

This sentence is generous and sad, implying the sorrow of a palace concubine after she is down.

"Offended!" Li Mao shouted angrily and began to search this room that seemed to be visible at a glance.

When Tao Mi'er saw Concubine Min's down-and-out and generous behavior, she knew that there would definitely be no result - even if the murderer was really Concubine Min, she had already dealt with the evidence.

Li Mao quickly rummaged through the room, but all Tao Mi'er saw was Concubine Min's downfall, and her task of finding the truth did not make any progress. Concubine Min has nothing here.

Disappointed, she took her leave and turned to the residence of the talented man.

Gao Cai was already waiting at the door, and as soon as she saw Tao Mi'er, she saluted and said, "The concubine has heard about it, please let Master Li do it directly." ”

Another one with a clear conscience.

Tao Mi'er frowned, since the word "cold palace" was written on the bag, then there should be no mistake.

What was she not thinking of?

The Red Umbrella Gu has an obvious drawback. The female Gu can't be too far away from its owner, and it's as delicate as a red umbrella Gu, and it's impossible to bury it underground.

It is no exaggeration to say that the person who raises the Red Umbrella Gu has to hold the parasitic umbrella of the Red Umbrella Gu in his hand almost all the time.

Peach Mill looked around the environment of the cold palace, hoping to find something different. She didn't believe it, and the trip was in vain.

When Li Mao once again didn't find anything that could be found, several guards of the Royal Forest Army looked at Tao Mi'er with a little suspicion in their eyes-they suspected that Tao Mi'er was just tossing them around.

Tao Mi'er pursed her lips and asked to take a stroll around the cold palace.

Li Mao, as a courtier, was temporarily assigned to Tao Mi'er by the emperor, so he naturally had no objection. As long as Tao Mi'er is in the name of investigation, no matter how much he tosses, Li Mao can't help but do it. This represented his absolute submission to the emperor.

The environment in the cold palace is really bad, and it is especially depressed in autumn. The weeds were yellow and haggard, and the fallen leaves were piled up on the ground and no one cleaned them.

Most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the cold palace are lazy.

The eaves were covered with cobwebs and dust, and in some places the corrobed eaves had collapsed.

Tao Mi'er sighed, no wonder once she was beaten into the cold palace, she would lose her ambitions, and she couldn't even guarantee the quality of life, who was in the mood to pursue something else?

She walked around the cold palace, but still found nothing.

Just as he was about to leave, a view that should belong to the cold palace flashed in the corner of his eye. Momel took two steps back, stood in her place, and reached out to pull the half-open window open.

Unlike the dilapidated and gray outside, the resplendor inside almost blinded Tao Mi'er's eyes—she had been to Concubine Ning's palace before, but it was far less gorgeous than the furnishings inside.

"Whose residence is this?"

The author has something to say: blowing the air conditioner too hard, the author has a fever today, and he is holding on a little bit, it's really not good, let's do it today.

The author's writing is not enough to code a profound and wonderful suspense plot, so the truth of the Red Umbrella Gu incident will soon be revealed. Don't expect too much of the twists and turns~
