After a while, Wang Ruohan was called away by the Wang family.

She apologized to the two people, Shangguan Yue smiled and said no, and then sent the people away.

After a while he sat back.

Gu Qingyan looked at the flowers in the distance, her expression was faint, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Shangguan Yue said: "I'm a little hungry, Master, are you hungry?" ”

Gu Qingyan came back to his senses and shook his head: "I'm not hungry, if you're hungry, go back and eat some first." ”

Originally, she didn't think that after a night's sleep, she felt a little hungry, after all, it was all eaten at noon, and it was normal to be hungry in the afternoon.

So Yuezhu went to the back kitchen to see if there was anything that could be eaten.

Shangguan Yue leaned lazily on the side, then stretched out and leaned against Gu Qingyan for a while, and then moved lazily away after half a sound.

Gu Qingyan's tense body relaxed slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shangguan Yue said: "It's nothing. "But in my heart, I thought, don't I just rely on you? Why are you so nervous?

She also noticed Gu Qingyan's tense and stiffness at that moment.

But thinking about it, after all, after such a familiar relationship, what is there to be nervous about? I felt a little strange, but I left.

Gu Qingyan's fingertips pinching the teacup were a little white, and he put the things on the table, and after a closer look, there were a few shallow finger prints on the wall of the cup.

Shangguan Yue was a little depressed, why did he rely on him a little bit as if he was facing a great enemy? I'm not a flood beast, right?

But after a while, she thought, yes, after all, it was ancient times, and she should be nervous when she leaned on someone else, so she was relieved.

After a while, Yuezhu suddenly ran over with a frightened face.

Shangguan Yue was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you running in such a hurry? ”

Yuezhu gasped, and didn't have time to stop and said: "The princess is not good, just now when the slave maid went to the back kitchen to see, a little palace maid died, and now, now in the firewood room." ”

Shangguan Yue raised his eyebrows, a little uneasy.

Immediately stood up: "What's the matter?" Has anyone else found out? ”

Yuezhu shook her head: "There shouldn't be, the slave was discovered by accident, if there is, everyone should be in chaos by now." ”

After all, it is a state banquet, and the death of a person is a big deal, so you can't be cautious.

The current situation is not good for alarming too many people.

Shangguan Yue and Gu Qingyan glanced at each other and immediately made a decision.

"Let's go, let's go and see first."

Yuezhu immediately nodded and led the way, and several people went to the back kitchen.

Because the temperature and speed are guaranteed when serving, the back kitchen is not far away, but generally speaking, there should be quite a lot of people, so if there are many people, nothing may happen.

So Shangguan Yue brought a group of guards and then guarded outside.

and Gu Qingyan and a few people went in.

When I went in, I saw that it was a busy mess inside, and everyone was busy and orderly, and as soon as I saw someone coming in, I immediately looked over.

Shangguan Yue stepped forward, and then said, "Stabilize the people here first, where are the people?" Take me to see it. ”

Yuezhu nodded, and pointed back, most of these people also knew Shangguan Yue, so it didn't take much effort to be sent out.

Yuezhu stretched out her hand and pushed the firewood room slightly, and then said, "The person is inside." ”

She was about to be scared to death, and while she was a little frightened, she thought that this matter was not normal, so she wanted to report the news, and now she calmed down a little, and she didn't even dare to go in.

Yuezhu said: "Princess, don't go in, right?" It's kind of scary. ”

Shangguan Yue smiled: "What's so terrible about a dead person?" ”

The terrible living are not the dead.

After she finished speaking, she went in directly, and then she saw a person in a pink palace maid's uniform lying in a pile of firewood in the firewood room.

Gu Qingyan came in behind her, and then said, "I'll take a look." ”

Shangguan Yue nodded, and the two of them squatted next to a corpse and looked at it.

The little palace maid looked a little hideous, as if she was afraid or frightened, not peaceful, and the dead man's face was shrouded in a blue-gray color, which looked extremely heavy.

Shangguan Yue said: "There are no external injuries. ”

She looked up and down to see it.

I didn't suffer any inhuman torture, just a little fear, and it should be a one-hit kill.

Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand and probed between her neck, and when he was done, he took a snow-white handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said slowly: "If you crush your throat bone, you will be killed with one blow, this person should be strong." ”

Shangguan also raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is it?" Who has a reason to kill such a little palace maid? There is nothing to ····· to be told about it. ”

Her expression turned cold, and her voice stopped.

This palace maid couldn't have touched someone's ulterior secret, so she was killed, right?

However, the murderer didn't actually dispose of the corpse, and just threw it here in such a big way, as if he was not afraid that he would be found at all, or was he fearless?

Shangguan Yue frowned, and Gu Qingyan said: "It's hard to check, there are too many people today." ”

Whether it's your own people or outsiders, there are a lot of them, who knows who it is?

The martial arts are profound, then, the crowd they can locate will shrink in an instant, but if it is those people, how can they admit it?

Especially now in this particular case, it is even more difficult.

Shangguan Yue said: "What should I do?" That's it? ”

Gu Qingyan said: "Dispose of the body, tell Your Majesty, and investigate slowly." ”

This kind of thing can't be hidden for long, so tell the emperor first, if they want to find out something here, it will be very difficult.

Shangguan Yue's heart was a little blocked, she was not a virgin, and she didn't have any intention of saving the world, but she always felt a little sad when she saw a person being killed like this.

But come to think of it, even back then, weren't they the same?

The powerful kill someone, at most lose a little money, and now, kill and kill. Just make excuses.

Shangguan Yue sighed, called someone in to clean up the body, and then walked around the firewood room a few times.

A lot of firewood was piled together, there were no clues, it was clean, except that the firewood was scattered in some places, but nothing could be seen.

She saw that there was nothing, and turned and went out.

Gu Qingyan looked at her back and followed.

The two of them walked together and didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to ask more questions when they saw it, so they watched the people leave.

Shangguan Yue walked to the door, and then said, "Keep an eye on the people here, don't do anything else." ”

The crowd nodded, and then stood guard by the door.

Shangguan Yue left with a heavy heart, she was still a little hungry, but when this happened, she couldn't eat anymore.

Gu Qingyan was silent for a while, and then said, "Don't worry too much, there are some things that we can't control." ”
