During Yanyu's healing of Phantom Lotus, Phantom Lotus also told Yanyu the original purpose of her coming to the palace.

When Yanyu learned that Phantom Lotus was sent by Princess Yuanfeng to protect her, she also felt very warm, because on the night before the ice was frozen, she had already known from her father and mother that Princess Yuanfeng was the aunt of her mother's mother, Yuan Xunshuang, and she was her aunt.

Phantom Lotus also told Yanyu a piece of good news, that is, Yanyu's mother-in-law Yuan Xunshuang also has a whereabouts.

Her mother-in-law is in the Imperial City and currently lives in the General's Mansion, and the General Yuan Feng is her mother's brother, that is, Yanyu's uncle.

But there is also bad news, that is, Yanyu's father was separated from her mother and is still missing. However, the general Yuan Feng has already sent people to search for it all over the country, and as soon as there is news, he will immediately send someone to send the news to the palace.

Phantom Lian also said that when she recovers from her injury, she will also find a way to send a secret letter out of the palace as soon as possible, and inform the general and her mother-in-law Yuan Xunshuang of the news of Yanyu as soon as possible.

As for Princess Yuanfeng, she is still continuing to travel around the country, looking for the treasure of Zhenguo, and preparing for returning to the Lotus Immortal Kingdom in the future.

After listening to these things that Phantom Lian told her, Yanyu was also a little relieved, after all, her mother had news and was safe, but her father's separation made her still a little uneasy, but at present, she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't leave the palace to find her father.

Before she found the antidote to the Five Poisons Sect and rescued Meng Ling, she had to continue to endure in the palace.

She also told Phantom Lotus about her own experience and the reason for staying in the palace, and once again emphasized that she didn't want to marry the so-called crown prince just because she was a lotus goddess, she just wanted to marry the person she liked, not resign herself to fate to live this life.

Regarding the wishes of the villagers of Yanjia Village to expect her to be the queen mother, she said that she could only live up to the expectations of the villagers of Yanjia Village, and she would repay the kindness of the villagers in other ways in the future.

Phantom Lian listened to Yanyu's thoughts, and also felt supportive, and said that in the future, no matter whether Yanyu stayed in the palace or went away, she would follow and protect her without hesitation, because this was her promise to Princess Yuanfeng, and it was also her task, and more importantly, Yanyu was her life-saving benefactor this time, so she supported Yanyu even more without hesitation.

Unconsciously, the three hours had arrived, and since the Lingzhi and old ginseng sent by Jun Wuregret were all ten thousand years old, after absorbing these great replenishing elixirs, Phantom Lotus's injuries recovered very quickly.

Originally, it was estimated that it would take three hours for Yanyu to completely cure the Phantom Lotus, but it turned out to be completely recovered in less than two hours.

An hour later, the two of them took a comfortable bath together in the hot spring side hall of the prince's bedroom, and chatted for an hour before they went together to greet the crown prince who had been waiting all night.

When Jun Buyu saw the fully recovered Phantom Lotus, he was also in a good mood, and after greatly rewarding the smoke and rain, he rested under the care of the Phantom Lotus, after all, because of the accident of the Phantom Lotus last night, he had no intention of sleeping, and he read a book in the study all night, and he was finally relieved for a while, so he felt very sleepy, so he went back to the dormitory to make up for sleep.

And Yanyu rushed to the palace without regrets to restore his life, but also got a heavy reward from the saint, and won the trust of the saint even more, and also gave her a gold medal, in the future, Yanyu can walk freely in the palace with this gold medal, as well as in and out of the palace, in the process of managing the palace maids, has the power to cut first and then play, and even if necessary, can mobilize the royal guards below 100 people and the royal forest army under 1,000 people for its use.

In this regard, Yanyu was also very happy, because with these royal guards and the Royal Forest Army as her backing, she was more confident to deal with those Five Poison Sect personnel lurking in the palace.

When Yanyu left the Holy Palace and returned to the dormitory of the female official Fengyi, she was also exhausted, after all, she saved Meng Ling and Phantom Lian in a row yesterday, and she didn't sleep all night, and her body was already at the limit, so she returned to the dormitory, ate something casually, and fell asleep.

I didn't expect this sleep, and I slept until noon the next day, which was enough to see how tired the smoke and rain were.

When she woke up and saw that Meng Ling was staying by her side and had prepared a sumptuous lunch for her, she was also surprised, thinking to herself why she had slept for so long, and had forgotten the routine of greeting the saint and the queen mother in the morning.

Fortunately, Meng Ling told her that it was the queen mother who had come, and when she learned that Yanyu had been asleep because of the treatment of Phantom Lotus, she was very considerate and did not wake up Yanyu, and she also transferred Meng Ling from the imperial dining hall to the Fengyi Female Guanguan Palace very intimately, and served as Meng Yan, who is Yanyu's personal palace maid.

Because the queen mother also had to admire Meng Yan's superb medical skills after going to the East Palace to see the living Phantom Lotus, she fell in love with Meng Yan, a Fengyi female official, considering that she was in charge of all the palace maids, and without a caring assistant around to help, she would definitely be too busy.

I also heard that she also had a younger sister Meng Ling when she was a palace maid in the imperial dining hall, so she simply took the lead and transferred it, first, the two sisters could take care of each other together, and secondly, they also helped Meng Yan find a most trusted person to help by her side, which was the best of both worlds.

In this regard, Yanyu and Meng Ling were of course the happiest, and it was convenient for them to find a way to deal with the Five Poisons Sect together.

After lunch, Yanyu took Meng Ling, as well as four royal guards and eight palace maids, to the queen's palace to thank Nalan Qiqing.

And after Nalan Qiqing saw Yanyu, she also took her hand and said a lot of words, obviously she had a very good impression of Yanyu.

By the way, I also discussed with Yanyu about the selection of the crown princess in a month, because the mother in charge of the retreat and cultivation, she may not be able to attend the selection ceremony of the crown princess at that time, so the task of assessing the crown princess also fell on Yanyu.

The queen mother greatly appreciated the dream assessment method that the mother in charge is very good at, which can effectively test a person's ability, conduct and sincerity, and will not waste money and extravagance.

So when she asked Yanyu tentatively, whether the lady in charge would also teach her this ability, Yanyu objectively admitted that she had not had time to learn this ability, but said that she would work hard to cultivate during the preparation for the selection of the crown princess this month, and strive to master this spell within a month, and choose a group of the best princesses for the crown prince.

Yanyu's attitude was also more appreciated by Nalan Qiqing, and when she was leaving, she was also specially rewarded with a batch of the best rouge gouache, as well as silk and silk and jewelry.

After leaving the queen's palace, Yanyu took Meng Ling and her party to spot check several palaces, and after inspecting the daily work of the palace maids, seeing that the time was still early, she took Meng Ling and them to the dry well again, that is, the dry well that Meng Ling was thrown into after being beaten and dying.

After everyone dispersed and carefully inspected the bamboo forest in the radius of the dry well, they did not find any useful clues, obviously the other party was very cautious, and should have made a careful plan in advance, so that there were no traces left.

When asking Meng Ling why she was in the dry well, Meng Ling herself couldn't say clearly, because the incident happened suddenly, she only remembered that she was caught by several masked people in the bamboo forest, these people looked at their bodies and voices, all of them were women, and one of the women who seemed to be the leader forced her to tell her sister's whereabouts, saying that there was something important in her sister's hands.

Because Meng Ling knew that her sister had died of poison because she jumped into the river. And she has been buried at the bottom of the river by the smoke and rain that kindly jumped into the river to save her.

So she didn't know where the exact location was, and even if she knew, she didn't want to say it, after all, her sisters were dead, so why let these unknown people dig up her body.

What's more, although these people cover their faces, they look like the kind of ruthless people, whether she says it or not, they will be silenced, it is better not to say it, and it can also avoid the deceased sister being harassed by them.

After that, not long after those people asked, when they couldn't get the answer they wanted, they really lost their patience, punched and kicked Meng Ling, and threw Meng Ling, who had passed out, into the dry well, and covered the wellhead with a stone slab.

At the moment when Meng Ling was lifted up by them and thrown into the dry well, she seemed to see a woman in black with the word "Wu" on the back of her hand. I also heard a woman among them remind them that the time was up, that they had to go back.

So Yanyu asked the four royal guards who protected her, and when the woman with the word "witch" on the back of her hand would be someone in the palace, the royal guard told her that generally only the palace maid who made a big mistake and was executed would be engraved on the back of her hand.

And the words engraved are often related to the mistakes she made, so the word "witch" is very likely to indicate that the other party used witchcraft to harm people in the palace, and even persecuted the master at the level of a concubine, so he would be executed.

It's just that it stands to reason that such a palace maid is either on death row or has already been executed, how can she come out to kidnap Meng Ling and kill people?

Even if they escaped from death row, they would not be able to escape from the palace.

Because there are various mechanisms on the three floors inside the palace and the outer three floors, as well as the layers of guards by the Imperial Forest Army, it is not at all that a few weak women can rush out. But if you continue to stay in the palace, you will have nowhere to hide in the face of the ubiquitous royal guards and patrolling royal guards.

Besides, if there was such a big thing as the escape of a death row prisoner in the palace, everyone would have known it for a long time, why didn't these royal guards hear any news.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, these death row palace maids bought the death row guards, so after sneaking out and killing Meng Ling, they quickly returned to death row, so that they could not be discovered by the royal guards.

Hearing what the royal guards said, Yanyu felt the need to go to death row to check it out......
