The palace of Liansheng Kingdom, the palace of Concubine Jing.

Originally, it was supposed to be a magnificent, fairyland Niangniang Palace, but at this moment it is unusually dilapidated and depressed, not only does it not have the fragrant taste of the past, but it is full of a strong smell of blood.

Even the pond in the garden has turned from the original crystal clear, the fragrance of lotus flowers to a sea of blood, countless dead fish turned their white bellies, floating on the water, attracting many flies to bite and hover there, and they are unwilling to leave for a long time.

The trees and flowers in the garden that were once verdant are now withering and crumbling.

And the most frightening thing is that the ground is full of white bones, severed limbs and remains, and it is no longer possible to distinguish whether it is a man or a woman, only that it was once a person or a headless person.

As for the heads of these people, they were neatly folded into a "pin" shape, and placed in the center of the main hall according to the arrangement of the nine-square grid, which formed a clear picture of this with the surrounding mess.

It's a bit like some kind of special sacrifice, or a silent accusation and warning.

Although I can't recognize which skeleton is Concubine Jing's, the head on the top of the head in the shape of "Pin" has a butterfly pattern at the center of the eyebrows, and what Concubine Jing is most proud of before her death is that there is a butterfly-shaped birthmark in the center of her eyebrows, this beautiful birthmark pattern, the image is realistic and lifelike, like a butterfly stopping at the center of her eyebrows, which is breathtaking.

When the wind blows, it can always make a "woo-woo" ghost cry from the cracks of some of the palaces that have collapsed and cracked, which makes people shudder.

It stands to reason that no one should want to come to such a palpitating place, but at this moment, there are two young people, a man and a woman, who are here to take a closer look.

Both of them frowned, looking around solemnly, and every time they saw a headless corpse, they showed very complicated expressions, there was sympathy, unwillingness, pity, and a trace of confusion, that is, what happened last night, which could make this place a hell on earth overnight.

These two people are none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was entrusted by the Holy Lord to come to investigate, and the female official Fengyi, that is, Yanyu who pretended to be Meng Yan.

Because the Holy Emperor had no regrets and asked the Imperial Forest Army to close the palace of Concubine Jing in time, and blocked the news, it was strictly forbidden to spread it outside the palace, so except for the concubines and concubines of other palaces in the palace, or the princes and princesses, knew about this matter, those ministers and people outside the palace knew nothing.

After all, such a big thing happened, involving dozens of lives, once it spread, it will inevitably cause panic outside the palace, and rumors will spread, which will have a negative impact on Jun Wuregret, who has just regained the throne.

It's not impossible to ask how such a tragic and inhumane killing can happen in the palace that is known as the safest defense, and how can it not make people think wildly, and even cause panic in the entire imperial city.

Therefore, Jun Wuregret had no choice but to temporarily close the news, and chose the person he trusted most and was the most capable to secretly investigate the matter.

chose Jun Buyu because he is the prince he values the most, and he is the Lotus Born Heavenly Son who has not been met for thousands of years, and he has a talent that is far beyond ordinary people, and it is very suitable for him to investigate.

And the reason why Jun Wuregret chose Yanyu again, firstly, Yanyu is not only the first place in this palace maid assessment, but also the only disciple of the magical power of the master, in Jun Wuregret's heart, she must have something extraordinary.

Second, in Jun Wu's memory, I recently had a very strange dream, in the dream, a green Babel Tower appeared in the palace of the Liansheng Kingdom, wrapped in a layer of golden light film, as if at first even Jun did not meet and could not pass through the light film to get close to the Tower of Babel, and then after sticking his palm on the light film with Yanyu, he miraculously passed through the light film, but then the tower disappeared inexplicably.

Although this is just an absurd dream, Jun Wuregret always feels that it is some kind of hint, that is, this Fengyi female official named Meng Yan is likely to have some kind of delicate relationship with his crown prince Jun Buyu, so he is willing to gamble, that is, this girl can bring good luck to Jun Buyu, maybe with her help, this Jingfei Niangniang Palace tragedy can also be solved as scheduled.

When Jun Buyu and Yanyu completely inspected the palace of Concubine Jing, they found nothing, and did not find any clues, because the scene was seriously damaged, and it was extremely bloody, miserable, and there was a river of blood everywhere, so it was very difficult to investigate and collect evidence.

"Meng Yan, what do you think? Any ideas? When he left the bloody palace and came outside to breathe, Jun Buyu asked casually.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, to be honest, my subordinates have no clue at the moment, and I don't know how to investigate. No evidence or clues were left at the scene, and not a single living mouth was left. There were no witnesses other than the group of Kingsguard soldiers who first spotted the scene. In addition, His Majesty has blocked the news, and we are conducting a secret investigation this time, so it is difficult to continue the investigation and evidence collection in the future. I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has? Yanyu said honestly with a blank face.

"This palace is also as confused and confused as you, how can I say it, I think what I want to do most now is to go back to the palace and sleep well, maybe I will have ideas when I wake up." Jun Buyu also said helplessly and tiredly, but when he said that he was sleeping, a strange look flashed on his face, as if he had some kind of idea.

"Go back to the palace to sleep? His Majesty only gave him three days, and if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep for these three days, it was difficult to complete His Majesty's entrustment, where could he sleep? Yanyu said in surprise, but when she saw the strange look that flashed in Jun Buyu's eyes, she was even more puzzled.

Seeing that Jun Buyu didn't answer, Yanyu didn't ask any more. In fact, she felt that she had a lot of things to ask you, but she didn't know how to speak.

After that, the two of them remained silent, and seemed to walk slowly side by side with their own hearts, walking towards the East Palace little by little.

Behind them were more than a dozen royal guards and palace maids, all of whom were protecting and serving Jun Buyu and Yanyu, including Meng Ling and the four royal guards of the Fengyi Female Palace.

"Okay, the palace has arrived, you can go back to the palace first, everyone calm down and think about it, tomorrow afternoon, see you in the Lotus Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and then we will discuss the next plan, how about it?" When he walked to the door of the East Palace, Jun Buyu stretched his waist, moved his neck, rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"This ...... Okay, Your Highness, then I'll see you at noon tomorrow at the Lotus Pavilion. Yanyu hesitated for a moment and said, she wanted to ask a little more about Concubine Jing from where Jun Buyu was, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed back and had to say goodbye.

When he saw Jun Buyu enter the East Palace, leaving Yanyu alone, Meng Ling and the royal guards who followed behind chased after him and accompanied Yanyu to continue walking.

"Sister, where are we going now? You just watched the scene with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you have any clues? You seem to have a lot on your mind, so you must be a tricky one, right? If there is anything we can help with, we will do our best to share my sister's worries. Meng Ling couldn't bear to see Yanyu so sad, and volunteered.

"Yes, yes, although the adults ordered it, although the four subordinates are martial artists, they have no talent for solving cases, and they don't have that brain, but it's still no problem to help the adults run errands or something." The slightly older of the four royal guards said.

"Thank you for your kindness, to be honest, I'm confused now, I don't have any ideas at all, so let's go back to my palace first. I want to think about it behind closed doors, so let's do it, during my seclusion, if you have other guards or palace maids you know, and you are familiar with the former guards and palace maids of Concubine Jing, you can help me privately ask me more about anything about Concubine Jing's palace, even if it is a small thing, and record it, maybe it will inspire me a lot. Yanyu said gratefully, and made a simple arrangement.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely live up to their mission, please rest assured." The four royal guards and Meng Ling replied respectfully.

When she returned to Fengyi's palace, it was almost noon, and after Yanyu had eaten a little bit, she locked herself in the palace by herself, instructed Meng Ling to stay at the door, and especially emphasized that if there was no special emergency, don't go in and disturb her.

After that, Meng Ling stayed at the door of the palace and asked the other palace maids in the palace, as well as the four royal guards, to go out to inquire about Concubine Jing's palace.

And Yanyu sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating, while thinking hard about the next investigation plan.

Thinking about it, Yanyu remembered again that before he and Jun Buyu parted before, when the other party said that he would go back to the palace and sleep well, he didn't seem to say it casually, but already had some kind of plan in his heart.

Suddenly, there was also a flash of inspiration in her mind, that is, since everyone in Concubine Jing's palace had died without proof, it was obviously impossible to get help from the mouths of the living, but there were so many corpses and bones at the scene, there may not be no clues.

Since the murderer committed the crime late at night, it is natural to find nothing by checking the scene during the day, so it is better to visit the murder scene at midnight and then at night, and maybe there will be unexpected discoveries!

In order to ensure that when checking at night, he can have a full energy, Yanyu decisively fell asleep, which can be regarded as recuperating.

When Yanyu woke up, he found that it was already night, and he was hungry, so he hurriedly got up and asked Meng Ling to prepare dinner.

During the meal, Meng Ling told Yanyu that this afternoon, the four royal guards and other palace maids in the palace inquired one after another, and the news about Concubine Jing's palace was recorded.

So, while eating, Yanyu carefully checked the content recorded by Meng Ling.

At first, there was no particularly useful information that could allow Yanyu to find clues. However, when Yanyu saw the last message, he suddenly found a problem.

That is, in this last message, a seemingly ordinary phenomenon was mentioned, saying that the people in Concubine Jing's palace would be particularly sleepy during the period from midnight to ugly, even the guards and palace maids who should keep vigil would fall asleep inexplicably.

When she saw this news, Yanyu decided that at midnight, she would take a good night trip to Concubine Jing's palace......
