After Ning Ke and Chu Jun crossed to the palace, they were already in a mess.

Chu Lingyue was ordering the guards to catch snakes everywhere with a black face, and when he saw Chu Junyue and Ning Ke coming, he hurriedly beckoned them over, "You came just in time! Now there are poisonous snakes in the palace, almost bitten the prince, you have to think of a way to get rid of all the poisonous snakes!"

The corners of Chu Junyue's lips hooked imperceptibly, and he responded in a clear tone, "The younger brother will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" It's just that if you want to get rid of the poisonous snake left over from the last time, you are afraid that you will have to thoroughly investigate the entire palace, and ask Your Majesty for authorization. ”

"That's right!" Chu Lingyue waved his hand and readily agreed, "As long as you can eliminate all the poisonous snakes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Having obtained the emperor's will as he wished, Chu Junyue took the ingots to exterminate the poisonous snake in the palace. And Ning Ke was called to see the prince to determine if it was really okay.

The prince was still in his palace, and it is said that he was entangled in his ankle by a poisonous snake, and although he did not bite it, he was afraid that he would be infected with venom and endanger his life.

When Ning Ke arrived, the queen was taking care of the crown prince, her eyes were red, and she looked as if she had cried.

"Ning Ke has seen the queen mother and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The queen beckoned her again and again and asked her to come over, "Ke'er, you are here, hurry up and show the prince to see if there is really no poisoned snake." ”

"Good. ”

Ning Ke sat on the edge of the bed, checked the prince's pulse, and then looked at the place where he was entangled by poisonous snakes, and then smiled, "Niangniang and Your Highness, rest assured, the prince is indeed not poisoned, don't worry." ”

"Really?" The prince was overjoyed, and looked at Ning Ke with bright eyes, as if there was a fire burning, "Is this palace really okay?"

Since the prince was cured, he seems to be even more desperate for his life, and he will go to the imperial doctor to see the little things, for fear that he will be poisoned or something.

That's a good thing, but it's also a bit too cautious.

Ning Ke nodded, "Ning Ke dares to use a human head to guarantee that there is absolutely no poisoning." ”

"Ke'er, you are serious, what is not a head, what you say, this palace believes you. The prince smiled, his eyes were extremely gentle, God knows how long he hadn't seen her, and every time he remembered that she had been married to the emperor's uncle, he couldn't help himself.

The queen also smiled, "Ke'er's medical skills, we know best." After a pause, she glanced at the prince's obsessive look and chuckled, "You guys talk first, and this palace will go get you some snacks." With that, he went out.

Ning Ke was going to leave, but the queen deliberately created an opportunity for them to speak, but she didn't want to leave.

The prince looked very happy today, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were always on her, and he couldn't take his eyes off her. For a moment, both of them were speechless, looking a little embarrassed.

Ning Ke wanted to find an excuse to leave, but the prince suddenly opened his mouth, "Ke'er, your junior brother Wang Ke also entered the palace as a doctor, and I met him one night in the palace." ”

"Wang Ke?" Ning Ke nodded calmly, "I heard that the master said that he came to the palace, but I have rarely interacted with people, and I am not very familiar with him. ”

"Oooh. The prince nodded, and for a moment he couldn't find words again.

Ning Ke glanced at him and asked his own question, "Your Highness, where did you encounter the poisonous snake?"

"Yes......" The prince's eyes flashed, and he paused for a while before telling the truth, "It's not a secret, it's in an abandoned palace." ”

Ning Ke's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "Is that the palace that burned down before?" What is the prince going to do?"

"The ...... of this palace" The prince lowered his eyelids, his face was a little melancholy, "That is the palace where the palace lived with the queen mother when he was young, and there was a fire that year...... So everything changed, and Hongu often remembered the past lately, so I was there before I knew it. ”

Ning Ke glanced at him seriously, although he didn't say anything directly, but she smelled something unusual.

She had also bumped into the prince there the other night, and now he had almost been bitten by a poisonous snake there. So, what exactly is he going to do there? Is it really as simple as remembering the past?

Why, she always felt that the prince seemed to be hiding some secret, and it was related to the fire many years ago?

Although she was curious, she didn't ask anything, so as not to startle the snake.

Ning Ke sat for a while, then left, and went directly to Chu Junyue to meet.

At that time, Chu Junyue was also searching in the abandoned palace, and he didn't know if he had found anything, and he was standing in front of a wall with Yuan Bao studying something.

"What's wrong?"

Ning Ke walked over and asked.

Chu Junyue looked at her, hooked his lips, and smiled slowly, "Xiao Ke'er, I think I found the hiding place of the poisonous snake last time." ”

"I suspect it's here, too, but this palace has burned down like this, and it can't breed so many poisonous snakes. "Ning Ke didn't have no suspicions, but the last time she came to see it, it didn't happen that there was any place to raise snakes.

Chu Jun smiled more secretly, and his gaze deliberately fell to the ground, meaning something.

Ning Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood.

He's saying the viper is in the underground vault?

If this is the case, then it is really fully in line with the conditions for viper breeding!

In this abandoned palace, no one will find out, it is simply not too suitable.

"But now it's not convenient for us to go, so we have to come back in the evening. Chu Junyue said solemnly.

Ning Ke nodded, "I understand, then come back in the evening." Today's priority is to go to the various palaces to see if there are any suspects I deduced last time. ”

"Your Majesty has made a decree, and we can go to every palace openly. Chu Junyue said with a smile.

There is no doubt that Ning Ke still thinks that this guy's head is good, and he knows how to use the topic to play, needless to say, this time the poisonous snake must have been put in by him, but he just wanted to find an opportunity to investigate.

Next, the two went to various palaces together, under the guise of exterminating poisonous snakes, but secretly carefully observed everyone's body shape and walking form to see if there were any eligible people.

However, from morning to night, all the palaces ran through, and there was not a single person who was eligible!

Ning Ke was very shocked by this, she was 100% sure that the person must be from the palace, and her inference would not be wrong! She didn't find out this time, which proved that the person was deliberately hidden!

If this is really the case, it proves that the person already knows that this is her and Chu Junyue's plan, and has been prepared for a long time, if so, it will be even more tricky.

"How is it?" Chu Junyue asked with concern as he looked at her worried look.

Ning Ke shook his head, "We worked in vain, and we didn't have any of them. ”

Chu Junyue frowned slightly, not too shocked, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I'll go to the Waste Palace at night." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

Ning Ke nodded, and could only pin all her hopes on the abandoned palace, the clues she found herself, Chu Junyue's discovery, the prince's attitude, etc., all pointed to the abandoned palace, maybe there was really hope.

At night, in the dead of night.

Chu Junyue and Ning Ke were dressed in black night clothes and walked into the abandoned palace silently. Chu Junyue didn't know where to press, the wall slowly moved away, revealing a narrow hole, and only one person passed.

"How do you know that there is a secret room here?" Ning Ke also came, but she didn't find out, what kind of eyes did this Chu Saobao have?

Chu Junyue smiled, "If it's such a simple secret room, I won't even look at it, then it's called the God of War in vain." ”

Ning Ke glanced at him, "Shameless." ”

Although he is telling the truth.

Chu Junyue just smiled and led her down from the entrance of the cave, which was a long and narrow passage, with a damp and fishy smell everywhere, until it reached the bottom, which was a spacious open space.

Ning Ke immediately rushed over, and after just one glance, his eyes lit up.

"This is where the viper went out! You see the skin of the viper on the ground. ”

Chu Junyue pursed his lips and said with a deep look in his eyes: "But this is just proof that there are poisonous snakes here, but I don't know who did it." ”

"That's just as well. Ning Ke's eyes dimmed a little, "I hope there are other clues to be found here." ”

"There's a secret room ahead, go check it out. ”

Chu Junyue led the way in front, passed through this clearing, and at the end, there was another stone gate, he looked around, pressed a bulge on the side of the stone gate, and with a "boom", the stone gate opened suddenly.

Ning Ke walked in and took a look, and the whole person was shocked.

Inside it's a spacious chamber, but it's more like a laboratory!

The cupboards were full of transparent glass jars, in which countless heads were soaked in medicine! Some of them had lost their skin, while others were still intact! There were even finished human skin masks being processed!

On top of that, there are a lot of medicines and jars that should be used to make medicines or poisons!

"Xiao Ke'er, don't look at it. Chu Junyue pulled her into his arms with concern, and covered her eyes with his big hands.

Such a scene, not to mention that she was a woman, even he felt frightened at first glance.

This person is here to make medicines, make human skin masks, and even use people to raise poisonous snakes, which is simply vicious!

"I'm fine. Ning Ke removed his hand and looked at all this calmly, there was no fear in his eyes, "Let's see if there are any useful clues!"

"Are you really okay?"

"You've heard that I'm dissecting corpses in the Qiankun Palace, right? Do you think I'll be scared?"

Chu Junyue glanced at her deeply and smiled approvingly, "I almost forgot, you are a woman who is not afraid of anything." ”

Ning Ke didn't say anything more, and looked for it in the secret room, the heads in those jars looked like they had been stored for a long, long time, and they didn't know how many years they had been stored, and those masks, which had been done, had been taken away, and those that were still being processed seemed to have not continued for a long time, covered with a layer of dust.

She had a bold guess in her heart, maybe these people were the palace people who disappeared in the fire many years ago, saying that they were burned by the fire, maybe they were hidden here!

The man behind the scenes has been in the palace since many years ago and has made this place his base camp!

"Xiao Ke'er, come and see, what is this?"

Suddenly, Chu Junyue's shocked voice sounded behind him.
