After Ran'er learned about her discovery from Almond, she was determined to find out the truth of the year and find out the person who harmed Liu Ruyi.

Almond sighed and only said that if she needed help, he could always come to her.

The two set a code, and when the time came, they would use the code to call Almond out.

It's no wonder that almonds are too cautious, it's really strange about this matter.

There may be insiders in the palace, and if they see Ran'er and interact with her, they may be suspicious.

After the two finished talking, Almond went out of the garden first.

She looked around, saw that there was no one, and quickly left the place and headed for the kitchen.

The kitchen lady saw her and greeted her warmly.

"Why is it so late, my lord?"

Almond smiled and responded, "There was a delay on the way." ”

The cook just asked casually, and Almond took the food box she handed over and went back to her yard.

One night, Almond was a little preoccupied, sitting in front of the window and thinking about what had happened these days.

It had been more than ten days since she came to the palace, but there seemed to be no movement in the palace.

Every time Sheng Guangji came back from the palace, he didn't mention anything big that had happened recently.

The matter of General Li Chen's fornication with Concubine Su is very tricky, and maybe it will end up in the end.

If this matter has been inconclusive, then will she stay in the palace for the rest of her life?

The palace is not bad, but she is nameless and pointless, so it is better to be a cook in the palace.

exchanging her labor for what she needs makes her feel much more at ease.

On the contrary, it was indeed too easy in the palace, and the prince treated her too well, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Almond sighed, thinking about the case of the murder of the side concubine, and felt that her head was big.

The door opened, and Almond looked sideways.

I saw Sheng Guangji walking in, his expression faint.

"What are you sighing about?"

Sigh something, naturally you can't talk to him.

Almond found a reason, "I ate too much today, and I feel a little uncomfortable." ”

Sheng Guangji smiled faintly: "Then let's go out for a walk." ”

In fact, Almond is a little tired, but what he says by himself must be convincing, right?

Thinking of this, Almond put on a robe and walked in the moonlight with Sheng Guangji.

As I walked, the surrounding scene changed.

She followed Sheng Guangji, and didn't notice the direction at all, and she didn't come back to her senses until she arrived in front of the Peony Pavilion.

The Peony Pavilion under the moonlight can vaguely see the glory of the past.

But the grass was overgrown, the wind was blowing, and the moonlight hit the well in the courtyard, revealing a cold and miserable white.

"Lord, what are we doing here?"

It feels like it's a big night, and it's a little weird.

As he spoke, Almond shifted his gaze to Sheng Guangji in front of him.

He looked ahead, unresponsive to her call.

The light of the moon scattered on his long jet-black hair, with a hint of coldness.

Almond's heart beat a little faster, and she called cautiously again.

"Lord Wang?"

I saw him slowly turn his pale and bloodless face, his eyes dark and emotionless, and extremely empty.

Almond was startled, why did the prince become so weird?

Isn't there something dirty and evil here that has fallen on the body of the prince?

Thinking of this, Almond hurriedly hugged Sheng Guangji's arm and shook it.

Sheng Guangji looked down at her, his cold gaze swept over her slender and white neck, and he looked at her for a long time.

Almonds got goosebumps when they saw it, and they felt cold on their necks.

What happened to the prince?

Is it really evil?

Almond was too frightened to move, thinking to herself what she could do to save herself if that was the case.

She was already planning an escape route, and Sheng Guangji finally spoke up.

"Let's go back."

The voice is cold, but it still carries the warmth of a person.

Almond looked at his face again, and it didn't seem so pale.

She breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and parted ways with Sheng Guangji halfway through and returned to her yard.

Until she lay in bed, she still felt a little chill in her body.

Why is the prince so strange tonight?

took her to the Peony Pavilion, but she didn't say anything, nor did she go in to take a look, but was motionless and expressionless.

Could it be that I remembered the side concubine? So want to check it out?

The white bones were fished out of the well of the Peony Pavilion, and Sheng Guangji must have known the identity of the corpse.

So it's sad because of this?

It seems that this is the only reason that can explain Sheng Guangji's anomaly tonight.

Almond sighed heavily, and he didn't sleep for a long time.

Until the next day, she was groggy and had blue under her eyes.

After seeing Sheng Guangji, he looked at her for a while and stated.

"You didn't sleep well last night."

This is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Almond flattened his mouth and rubbed his big eyes.

"Is it so obvious?"

Sheng Guangji nodded and took out the books he was going to teach today.

Seeing this, Almond quickly cheered up.

She has always respected Guangji as a teacher in her heart, so she is very attentive when listening to lectures and never distracted.

Even if you are not in a good state today, the most important thing for you as a teacher who respects your students is to listen carefully.

After listening to it for a while, she gradually got better, and finally integrated into the state of learning.

But today it seems that something is abnormal, and almonds always feel as if there is a cry of non-existence lingering in their ears.

But Sheng Guangji didn't seem to notice it at all, which made her think that she hadn't slept well and had auditory hallucinations.

Almond shook her head, shook the voice away, and continued to listen intently.

Maybe it was really her auditory hallucination, and after a while, she felt the voice fade until it was completely gone.

stayed in the study for almost a morning, Sheng Guangji left in advance, and she stayed to take care of the study.

After taking care of it for a while, Almond felt as if the sound was starting again.

She listened closely, and it seemed to be a female voice, and the content was indistinct.

Gradually, the woman's voice became clearer and clearer, as if she was crying for help.

Almond's heart was fluttering, and he closed his eyes to feel and listen carefully.

She listened for a long time in her study before she realized that the cry for help seemed to be coming from behind a bookcase.

Almond walked over to the bookcase, listened to the movement inside, and became more sure of his thoughts.

She pushed the bookcase hard, and sure enough, there were signs of loosening.

This is supposed to be a mechanism, and something needs to be touched to open the bookcase.

Almond thought, his eyes wandering over the dense mass of books in the bookcase, trying to figure out how to open the mechanism.

Soon, she discovered the anomaly.

The entire bookcase is covered in dark blue, except for a dark red book.

The mechanism can't be so obvious, right?

Although he didn't believe it, Almond took the book down curiously, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was a wordless and empty book.

Is it really a mechanism?

But looking at the immovable bookcase in front of him, Almonds were a little inexplicable.

She put the book back, but her subordinate accidentally pushed the bookcase forward.

It's time to push!
