Chapter 224: A Confusing Mystery

The palace of the Liansheng Kingdom, the palace of the female official of Fengyi.

When Yanyu woke up, she found that she had returned to the dormitory, and Meng Ling was looking at her with a worried face.

She felt weak and her head hurt, as if she was seriously ill.

"Sister, are you finally awake? It scared the hell out of me. Meng Ling sat up while holding the pale Yanyu and said in fear.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with me? Why does my head hurt so much? How could I fall asleep? I obviously went to Concubine Jing's palace last night? Yanyu asked puzzled, rubbing the back of her head.

"Sister, not long after you left last night, there was a sudden lightning and thunder, but it didn't rain, and then I heard that the queen's palace was on fire, and the palace of Concubine Jing collapsed! So I hurriedly turned into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog and quietly rushed to Concubine Jing's palace, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Then the Guards started cleaning up the site, and I had to come back. I didn't expect to find that you were already lying in bed, but you slept soundly, so I didn't dare to wake you up. Anyway, I'm relieved that you're back. Meng Ling said with a tired face, obviously she had been staying by Yanyu's side last night and didn't dare to close her eyes.

"What? Thunder? Fengming Palace on fire? Concubine Jing's palace collapsed? How is this possible? Why am I not impressed at all? And I don't even remember how I got back. What a strangeness! Yanyu said in shock.

After finishing speaking, she also fell into memories, she remembered that she went to Concubine Jing's Palace alone last night, wanting to check if there were any new clues about the bloody case, but where did she meet Nalan Qiqing and Yudie who fainted on the ground, as well as the royal guards of Fengming Palace.

Later, when she was struggling with whether to send the queen back to the palace or continue to check the scene, it happened that Bing Wushui appeared, and the other party enthusiastically helped her solve the problem.

That is, Bing Wushui sent the queen mother and Yudie, as well as those royal guards back to Fengming Palace, while she herself continued to check the scene of the murder.

At first, she didn't find any useful clues, and then she inadvertently found a diary in a secret compartment in Concubine Jing's dormitory, which told about a concubine's life in the palace in the past.

Just when Yanyu was about to take the diary and go back to his dormitory to study it again, he was knocked unconscious from behind, and when he woke up again, he had already returned to his dormitory.

Thinking of this, Yanyu realized why she had a headache, because she fainted after being hit in the back of the head last night.

"Huh? Sister, don't you remember how you came back last night? Did someone send you back? Meng Ling also asked strangely.

"Someone should have saved me, I remember that I was knocked out from behind last night, and the person who beat me definitely wouldn't be so kind to send me back, the other party must have snatched the diary in my hand and ran, and then there must have been another person, who happened to know me, and sent me back." Yanyu tried to guess.

"Someone knocked you out from behind? Just for a diary? But, sister, didn't you transform into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog last night? This ordinary person doesn't have that much strength to stun you after the transformation? Meng Ling asked in a tone that felt unlikely.

"Hey, I was careless, because I think it's midnight, so many people won't dare to come to such a terrifying murder scene, although I saw the queen mother and Yudie and the royal guards unexpectedly appeared there, but they also fainted, and were sent back to Fengming Palace by a friend of mine, so I think that since I am the only one, I will simply change back to human form, and it is convenient for me to sit down and read the diary slowly." Who knew that there was another person behind him, and he was hacked. Yanyu sighed and said helplessly.

"How dangerous that is! Sister, fortunately, that person just snatched the diary, if he kills people again, the consequences will be unimaginable. In the future, my sister can't be so careless. If there is such a dangerous operation in the future, why don't you take me with you? With me helping you control the wind, it will be much safer. Meng Ling patted her chest and said happily.

"I know, eat a trench to grow a wisdom, my sister must pay attention to it next time. It's a pity that the diary is gone, and what is written on it can prove that there is a secret room under Concubine Jing's palace, maybe if you enter that secret room, you can crack the truth about Concubine Jing's destruction of the palace. Now that the map and trap description in the diary are gone, it would be difficult to find the secret room. Today I look so weak, and I can't investigate the case, tomorrow is the last day for the saint to investigate the case for me, if I can't find out the real murderer of Concubine Jing, I will live up to the saint's expectations. Yanyu gave Meng Ling a reassuring look and assured.

It's just that after seeing his weak body and mentioning the loss of the diary he saw last night, he looked regretful and unwilling.

"Sister, you can recuperate with peace of mind today, and only when you are well can you have the strength to solve the case. And even if you have that diary, it's useless, because Concubine Jing's palace collapsed last night. It's also flooded by groundwater, and the secret room is probably destroyed, so even if you find it, you can't find any truth, right? Meng Ling also comforted with some regret.

"Well, that's what you said. By the way, you just said that the queen's palace is on fire, so is the lady okay? Yanyu said helplessly, and asked about the queen mother by the way.

"The queen mother was rescued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she was fine. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hit on the head by a beam, and I don't know what happened now. However, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine. Meng Ling recalled and said.

"What? Hit in the head? Wouldn't that be serious? Let's hope he's safe? I also made an appointment with him to meet today to discuss Concubine Jing's case, which is good, he and I are both injured, and it seems that there is no hope of solving the case tomorrow. In this case, you can go to the East Palace immediately, visit him for me, and tell him by the way that I am also injured, so let him have a good rest today, and meet tomorrow morning to discuss the case. Yanyu asked worriedly.

"Okay, sister, I'll go now. Will you sleep well? Meng Ling readily agreed.

After seeing Meng Ling leave, Yanyu had no intention of sleeping, sitting there carefully recalling the details of last night.

She always felt that a series of things that happened last night were too strange, what lightning and thunder, but there was no rain, and it caused the queen's palace to catch fire, and Concubine Jing's palace collapsed.

She and Jun Buyu both suffered head injuries, and they can't investigate the case for the time being.

It is equivalent to the three of them who went to Concubine Jing's palace last night. Even Concubine Jing's palace collapsed inexplicably.

It seems that all this seems to be a pure accident, but Yanyu always feels that it is not as simple as it seems, as if someone is secretly preventing them from investigating the case.

Coupled with the diary she had read, and the astonishing secrets recorded on it, she understood that in this seemingly peaceful palace, there was actually a turbulent dark tide, and there were too many unknown killings going on in secret.

Even Yanyu felt that someone was secretly arranging it decades ago, and Yanyu and they were the chess pieces in it, every step was calculated, and they were dying step by step.

Maybe she was thinking too much, and it wasn't until Meng Ling walked in front of her and shouted loudly that Yanyu reacted that it was Meng Ling who came back from the East Palace.

Meng Ling also brought a bowl of porridge in her hand, and motioned for Yanyu to drink it quickly, so that she could sleep well again, and she should be much better tomorrow.

also told Yanyu that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only had some amnesia, and his body was not seriously injured, and he should be fine tomorrow after a day of rest.

By the way, I also informed Yanyu that she would have a good rest, and go to the queen tomorrow morning to say goodbye to the queen, saying that he had eyebrows about the bloody case of Concubine Jing's palace, but there were some things that still needed to be consulted by the queen.

After listening to Meng Ling's words, Yanyu also relieved herself, firstly, it was a great luck that Jun Buyu was not seriously injured, and secondly, Jun Buyu actually found a clue, which was indeed good news, and she was also relieved.

After drinking the porridge, maybe the pressure in my heart was not so great, and Yanyu, who had relaxed, also felt a little sleepy, so I fell asleep.

Not long after falling asleep, Yanyu fell asleep.

In her dream, she found a diary in a dark compartment, and as she flipped through it, she was knocked unconscious from behind.

After that, she was in a daze and saw that she was being held by a black-tailed leafhopper covered in ice, and sent her back to the Fengyi Female Official's Palace, and kept sending her to the dormitory, gently putting her on the bed, before she reluctantly turned around and walked out.

At this moment, a woman appeared in front of her bed out of thin air, smiled at her sinisterly, and suddenly her face became very hideous, and she struck hard at the black-tailed leafhopper in the back with a knife.

"Nope! Be careful if you don't have water! Yanyu shouted out a little uncontrollably, and then woke up in a cold sweat.

At that moment, Yanyu was surprised, she didn't expect that she would have such a dream.

She didn't understand why she dreamed that Bing Wushui saved herself in her dream, and after Bing Wushui in the dream gently put her on the bed, the reluctant expression on her face made her remember it vividly, as if Bing Wushui really had an emotion for her that surpassed that of a friend.

This made Yanyu feel a little strange, because in her heart, Bing Wushui was completely regarded as a good friend, and there was no personal relationship between her children and daughters.

But when she saw a woman with an abominable face suddenly appear and stab Bing Wushui with a knife, she felt inexplicably heartache, as if the person she cared about most had been hurt.

That's why she shouted in such a panic, not only woke herself up, but also woke up Meng Ling, who was keeping vigil outside.

When she rushed in with some apologies, Meng Ling, who looked at her with a worried face, was about to go back to sleep after persuading her to leave, but she didn't expect to turn her head and see the terrible woman in the dream just now reappeared......
