Nalan Yan raised her eyes to look at Duan Tianze and Duan Izuyun, both of them were silent, thinking that the two of them had never paid attention to the affairs of the Queen Mother.

"Since I put all the things on the Queen Mother, I haven't been to see the Queen Mother, and I'm ashamed to say that I don't know anything about the things used by the Queen Mother." Duan Izumo opened his mouth first, and there was a sense of guilt in his words.

Duan Tianze did the same, and said: "This king is also ashamed of the queen mother."

He is even more so, he will no longer go to the Queen Mother's Palace since his birthday, and even if he enters the palace, he will see Duan Izumo, so they are all responsible for being a child.

"Now is not the time to blame yourself, but to find out what the rouge used by the Queen Mother is, and when did it start to be used, the people around the Queen Mother must know that today when I was diagnosing the Queen Mother, I found a palace maid, who seems inconspicuous, but always looks at me and the prince from time to time, there must be something wrong with this person." Nalan Yan interrupted the thoughts of the two of them, she couldn't bear these children's affections, and the most important thing had not been resolved.

As soon as Duan Izumo heard that Nalan Yan had a clue here, he immediately looked at Nalan Yan, stood up and prepared to leave, and said, "Since that's the case, then don't take it, just now you found out why you didn't say it."

"There must still be someone at the door, if you capture the palace maid, wouldn't it be a startling snake, and it will be even more difficult to catch the murderer at that time." Nalan Yan was also ready to go with Duan Izumo.

The three of them didn't say much, when they went to the queen mother's palace, the queen mother had already rested, and Ling'er at the door was standing, for fear that the queen mother needed something, and when she saw the emperor turn back again, she wanted to tell the queen mother, but after thinking about it, she still didn't do it, but she walked up to the three of them and said: "Your Majesty, the prince, Miss Yan'er."

"Go and gather all the people in the palace here." Duan Izumo immediately ordered to go down.

Since it was the emperor who spoke, Ling'er didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly gathered all the people in the queen mother's palace together, and then stood in front of the servants and said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the people in the palace are already here."

With that, Ling'er stepped aside and watched what the three of them were going to do.

Before Nalan Yan could wait for Duan Izumo to speak, she had already locked on to the dark and nervous palace maid, the palace maid looked very nervous, and she didn't dare to look up at the emperor, Nalan Yan walked in front of everyone one by one, and didn't stop until she walked in front of this palace maid, standing still and looking at the palace maid carefully.

"What's your name?" Nalan Yan asked.

The palace maid was nervous and speechless, but Ling'er said for her: "This is the queen mother's combed hair palace maid named Yulian."

"Yulian, is it? I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous. Nalan Yan hooked the corners of her mouth and stared at Yulian even more tightly.

Yulian pounced on her knees on the ground, just trembling, but she didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, it's her." Nalan Yan didn't say anything more to her, and pointed to Yulian and walked to Duan Tianze's side.

Duan Tianze really didn't notice the difference between this palace maid, I have to say that Nalan Yan observed so carefully, and she could still notice the movements of this palace maid when she was so nervous.

Duan Izumo snorted lightly, shouted out the guards, and took the palace maid named Yulian under Ling'er's nose and took her all the way to his palace.

This matter was still Nalan Yan told him that he was going to leave the Queen Mother's palace, for fear that this matter would reach the ears of the Queen Mother and make the Queen Mother unhappy, and the Queen Mother would not be able to move these days.

Yulian was afraid that she didn't expect to be discovered, and she didn't dare to speak until she was taken to the emperor's palace.

"You've been discovered, aren't you going to say it? Or is the person behind you too powerful to be more useful than what I say? Duan Izumo slapped the table and looked at Yulian kneeling in the hall viciously.

Yulian's body trembled, almost didn't come out of breath, she slowly raised her head to look at the three of them, the faces of the three of them were all iron-blue, and she trembled and said, "The slave doesn't know ......."

"You say you don't know? So many people don't know what we're going to do, and why do you seem to know and now you're denying it here? Nalan Yan slowly approached Yulian step by step, "Look at what you are facing now, it is the emperor, a person who can punish your nine clans with his mouth open and closed, please know who you should listen to and what to do." ”

Under the persecution of such a powerful Nalan Yan, Yulian didn't dare to hide it anymore, and it was a major matter that violated the family motto and ancestors of the Nine Clans, and she couldn't afford it.

"The slave said, the slave said." Yulian's eyes could no longer see the three of them clearly, and she was invaded by tears, how could she be a little palace maid worthy of the emperor's words.

"Let me ask you, when did the Queen Mother's rouge change, aren't you her maid who combs her hair? I think I will also take care of the Queen Mother's rouge gouache and the like. Nalan Yan asked.

Yulian trembled and said: "Yes, the slave maid did help the Queen Mother to observe the things of the fat powder, and it was half a year ago to change the fat powder, and the slave and maid introduced the rouge she used now to the Queen Mother, and the mother liked to use it until now."

"Introduction, how can I listen to you and say that the rouge was prepared by yourself? I advise you to be honest and don't think you can fool me. Nalan Yan listened to what Yulian said, she was very puzzled, and her temper became a little.

"No, no, no, the slave doesn't dare, things have to start after the state banquet, Mrs. Su suddenly entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said that Su Min's skin was very good, saying that the two would be similar in age next year, but he was already in his prime, and said that Xu was trapping himself in the palace, so he lost his spirit. I only listened to Mrs. Su's words, except that she often used a kind of rouge to apply to her face. ”

The Queen Mother was naturally curious when she heard this, so she immediately asked Mrs. Su where she got the rouge, and Mrs. Su told the Queen Mother a place, saying that there was a place where this rouge was sold, but Su Min's name had to be said. The Queen Mother really cared about her appearance, so she sent slaves and maids out of the palace to buy rouge for the Queen Mother. ”

The slave and maid followed the place Mrs. Su said and found a shop, but the whole store was in tatters, there was no store that Mrs. Su said to sell rouge, the slave and maid did not know what to do, a lady dressed in wealth came out of the alley, pulled the slave and maid, and took out a box of rouge from the sleeve, the fragrance was abnormal, and the slave said that the original store was not open, and the rouge sold in the store she opened was no different from this store, so that the slave and maid could rest assured to take it. The slave maid was also afraid that she would not be able to explain to the Queen Mother, so she returned to the palace with the mood of giving it a try and returned to the Queen Mother. ”

"After returning to the palace, the queen mother didn't say anything, she just took the rouge and used it, I don't know if the lady was right, after using the rouge, she was too thick and really young, and even rewarded the slave and maid with a lot of things, and the slave and maid were greedy for money for a while, so they didn't say much."

Yulian told everything that happened at that time in one breath, and her heart was more relaxed.

Nalan Yan then asked, "Then let me ask you, does the Queen Mother often use this rouge?"

Yulian nodded: "This rouge is only used by the Queen Mother when she attends the banquet, and she uses it a lot."

"Isn't it a time for a banquet to be held in a time of great event? Doesn't the emperor know? Nalan Yan turned her head to look at Duan Izumo.

Duan Izuyun's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said slowly: "Yes, in the past few years, I have handed over state affairs to the Queen Mother, and many large and small banquets have also been attended by the Queen Mother on my behalf."

He was embarrassed to say such a thing, and now that he thought about it, what he did was really unfilial, and he was really ashamed to hand over such a tiring thing to his mother, and he was running away from all this.

Nalan Yan just shook her head, she couldn't intervene in the affairs of the Queen Mother's family, and all she could do now was to continue to look for the real culprit.

She looked at Yulian again, and said, "You did a good job today, and finally give you another chance to atone for your sins, now take us to find the woman who sold you rouge, I think you have been there more than once to buy rouge."

Yulian nodded immediately, and as soon as she heard that she had a chance to live, she immediately agreed.

Duan Izuyun originally wanted to go out with Nalan Yan and Duan Tianze, but Nalan Yan only said that the emperor's departure from the palace would only cause a commotion, but it would not be good for arresting people.

He felt that what Nalan Yan said was reasonable, and in the end he could only stay in the palace alone, sending a few guards to follow Duan Tianze to arrest the real murderer.

Yulian was very familiar with a few people and found the place where she met the woman selling rouge, and a dilapidated storefront next to it should be the storefront that Yulian said. Yulian stopped and looked at Nalan Yan behind her, pointed to the path ahead, walked in slowly, and found a small door.

She knocked on the door immediately, but no matter how she knocked on the door, no one came out, originally Yulian was still full of confidence, but the more time passed, the more scared she became, as if what she said was all fake.

"How can this be, people, people!" Yulian's knock on the door grew louder and louder, and she seemed to have lost hope, and finally slipped to the ground, losing her spirit.

She clearly remembered that she had bought the rouge here at the time, but why were the people not there, they must have run away and put all the blame on her.

"What about this family? Uncle, do you know where the family went? Yulian suddenly stood up, grabbed a passing man and asked.

The man was a little frightened when he saw Yulian looking crazy, but he still answered Yulian's question, he pointed to the door and wondered, "You said this family?" The family left more than a decade ago, and now there is no one living in it. ”

With that, the man shook off Yulian's hand and left.

Under the gaze of Nalan Yan and Duan Tianze, watching Yulian pull passers-by one by one to ask about the women who sold rouge, but the result in exchange was that the family was long gone.

Until the end, Yulian didn't believe herself anymore, it sat directly on the ground, tears dripping down her cheeks, she looked like a passer-by frightened, seeing that there were more and more people gathering, Duan Tianze was really worried about causing some commotion, and asked the guards behind to bring Yulian back to the palace and imprison her.

"Lord, girl, what the slave said is true, you have to believe the slave and the maid." When Yulian was finally taken away, she grabbed Nalan Yan's clothes tightly, as if grasping straw, but in the end, she couldn't withstand the strength of the guards and was taken away.

Everyone looked at Duan Tianze and Nalan Yan, there was a trace of disdain in their eyes, and they began to talk to each other, Duan Tianze was really uncomfortable, and pulled Nalan Yan out of the alley.

Duan Tianze had been thinking about Yulian, and he didn't want to be fake when he heard what she said, but why did she think that people would disappear from the place where there were people? Or is Yulian lying?

He turned his head and asked Nalan Yan, "Yan'er, do you think I should believe what the palace maid said?"

"From the time I said about the Huizhulian Nine Clans, Yulian had already broken her mind, every word she said next was related to her name, of course she wouldn't lie, and secondly, she was by no means a stupid person who would dig such a big hole for herself, there must be other secrets behind this matter."

"I don't know if you just noticed it, everyone said that the family had left more than ten years ago, but why is the dust on that door so shallow, I just saw that the dust on Yulian's hands is not very deep, which means that someone has entered that room recently, but they didn't let others see it, and other people don't care about it, and they won't take a closer look at the dust on the door." Nalan Yan recalled the details of Fang Cai and said.
