Chapter 301: Extremely tangled smoke and rain

Lotus Imperial Palace, x

When Yanyu rescued Princess Yidan from the side hall, Phantom Lotus also rushed over. After seeing clearly that it was the Empress Dowager who personally rescued Princess Yidan, Phantom Lotus also had to sigh at the strength of the Empress Dowager.

When she left from the gate of the Empress Dowager's dormitory before, the Empress Dowager was obviously still sleeping in the house, but before she arrived at the side hall, she saw that the Empress Dowager had rushed out of the fire-filled side hall with Princess Yidan in her arms.

Just as the Empress Dowager flew out of the window of the side hall with Princess Yidan in her arms, the side hall collapsed.

It can be seen that as long as it is one step later, Princess Yidan will definitely have an accident.

When she saw Phantom Lotus and the other palace maids who rushed to save people, as well as the royal guards, Yan Yu asked Phantom Lotus to take the royal guards and palace maids to continue to extinguish the fire, so as not to spread the fire to other palaces.

After that, she herself hugged the unconscious Princess Yidan, went to the underground secret room of the study, and after briefly checking Princess Yidan's injuries and finding that there was no major problem, she was relieved.

The reason why Princess Yidan was placed in the underground secret room was because Yanyu knew that Yao'er lying in her bedroom was actually very likely to be a monster that sucked human blood, and before confirming Yao'er's true identity and getting rid of Yao'er and ensuring the safety of her bedroom, she put Princess Yidan in the underground secret room for the sake of safety.

When Yanyu left the secret room, he returned to the scene of the fire in the side hall, and found that there were many more royal guards extinguishing the fire, and it was obvious that the royal guards from other palaces had rushed to help.

Just when Yanyu commanded the royal guards to extinguish the fire, His Majesty also rushed to the fire, and brought many royal forest troops, and with the concerted efforts of so many people, the fire was finally controlled on the ruins of the side hall, and it would not spread to other palaces.

After the commander of the Imperial Forest Army surveyed the scene of the fire, questioned all the palace maids and royal guards of the Goddess Palace, and found four charred corpses from a ruin in the side hall, he reported the cause of the fire to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.

That is, after someone killed the four royal guards guarding the side hall, and set fire to the side hall, if it wasn't for the queen mother rushing into the side hall in time to rescue Princess Yidan, I'm afraid Princess Yidan would have been damaged.

As for who did it, because the fire burned the side hall to the ground, there are no useful clues, and there are no eyewitnesses, so it is almost impossible to continue the investigation.

After listening to the report of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, His Majesty was also furious, but he was helpless.

Because during this period of time, there have been continuous tragedies in the palace, but there has always been no clue, from the beginning of the Jing Concubine Niangniang Palace Annihilation Case, to the tragic death of the Queen Mother, and now the Empress Dowager's Palace has also been set on fire, and the person targeted is Princess Yidan, which makes people wonder what the other party wants to do.

When His Majesty asked why Princess Yidan was in the side hall of the Empress Dowager, Yanyu felt that the matter was very important, and it was useless to say more before there was conclusive evidence, at least she couldn't make a public statement.

After all, this involves the powerful and powerful Concubine Yin, who is very good at disguising herself, so she thought about it, so she lied and said that she was walking around the palace casually, and accidentally met Princess Yidan, and felt very voted, so she asked her to come to the Goddess Palace to live with her for a while.

As for the fact that someone poisoned Princess Yidan just now, Yanyu said that she didn't know why, but she promised Her Majesty that she would give her three days to find out about this matter and let His Majesty rest assured.

His Majesty listened to the Empress Dowager's explanation, and also felt that it was reasonable, after all, the Empress Dowager was a person thousands of years ago, although she was resurrected, but there was no one in the palace who knew her, it was inevitable that she would feel lonely and lonely.

In addition, he also admires the ability of the goddess Empress Dowager very much, since the Empress Dowager promised to solve the case in three days and give him the truth, then it is inconvenient for him to ask more, just let the Empress Dowager investigate everything.

Before leaving, it was suggested that the Empress Dowager move to the Fengming Palace of the Queen Mother to live for a period of time, and wait until the side hall of the Goddess Palace was repaired, and then move back to live.

But the Empress Dowager politely declined, the Empress Dowager meant that the renovation of the side hall did not affect the work of her own main hall and dormitory, not to mention that she was also used to living in the Goddess Palace, and I am afraid that I will lose sleep again if I change the palace.

His Majesty has no regrets seeing that the Empress Dowager is unwilling to move away, so he is no longer reluctant, but asks that this time he must promise him no matter what, that is, to send an additional team of Imperial Forest Army to guard the Goddess Palace to protect her, otherwise he will be the one who will lose sleep.

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to agree, because she herself was not afraid of the assassination of ordinary people, but there were still Princess Yidan and Phantom Lotus in the Goddess Palace, and with the Royal Forest Army to protect them, she could also feel at ease.

Especially in the next three days, she still has to find a way to find evidence against Yin Guifei, and she may not be able to stay in the Goddess Palace all the time, this Goddess Palace has more defensive strength, and she is always prepared.

After sending His Majesty away without regrets, Yanyu instructed the other royal guards to bury the four royal guards who were unfortunately lost in the fire, after all, the four of them were arranged by her to protect Princess Yidan, and now that they are unfortunately killed, their bodies should be treated kindly.

also asked Phantom Lotus to report to the imperial court afterwards, and also gave full pensions to the families of these four royal guards, which can be regarded as an explanation to these four loyal royal guards, so that they can feel at ease under Jiuquan.

After arranging all this, Yanyu took Phantom Lotus to the underground secret room of the study, and asked Phantom Lotus to stay in the secret room to take care of Princess Yidan, while she herself left the secret room and walked towards her dormitory.

Because of the suddenness of the incident just now, and because she was worried about Princess Yidan, Yanyu couldn't take care of Yao'er, who made her suspicious, leave the palace and rush to the side hall.

At this moment, the matter of the fire in the side hall has been dealt with, and although Princess Yidan is still asleep, there is no danger, and there is a phantom lotus to take care of it, so there should be no problem.

She believed that Princess Yidan only needed to sleep well, and when she woke up tomorrow, she should be fine.

Therefore, Yanyu decided to go back to the dormitory to have a showdown with Yao'er, and ask her who she was, and what was the purpose of pretending to be a little girl approaching her and entering the palace with her? and the truth about whether Meng Ling was killed by her.

If Yao'er really admits everything, and she is indeed the murderer who killed Meng Ling, then she doesn't mind doing the right thing for heaven and getting rid of Yao'er, the scourge, otherwise I don't know how many people will be killed by her in the future.

Unless it can be confirmed that Yao'er was used by others and not her fault, then after Yanyu investigates clearly, she can also consider opening the net and not pursuing her.

When Yanyu came to the gate of the dormitory, she found that there were many more guards nearby, as well as patrolling royal guards, and it was obvious that the royal guards sent by His Majesty to protect her had arrived at the Goddess Palace.

After telling them that there was nothing special to do and that no one was allowed to come in and disturb her, Yanyu walked into the dormitory and locked the door again.

But before she walked to the side, she smelled a smell of decay, which made her want to vomit, and suddenly she had a bad premonition, and hurriedly came to the side to take a look, only to find that Yao'er had rotted all over her body and died.

After approaching the side and carefully examining the decomposing body of Yao'er, Yanyu could determine that this little girl had been dead for almost a month.

In other words, Yao'er, whom Yanyu saw in Yuqin Village, was actually dead a long time ago, but she was possessed by some kind of monster that could borrow her corpse to resurrect her soul.

Thinking of this, Yanyu cautiously closed her eyes and used the magical ability of the goddess's mask to check every corner of the entire dormitory, and after not finding any monsters, she knew that it was very likely that the monster had left.

Yanyu could imagine that after he left in a hurry just now, the monster left Yao'er's corpse, so the corpse immediately decomposed.

And the reason why this monster gave up the body of this eight-year-old girl must have been because he knew that he was exposed, so he left.

It's just that the other party is still in the palace? Or have you already left the palace?

Yanyu is also a little dazed and entangled, for Yanyu, of course she hopes that the other party is still in the palace, in that case, she will still have a chance to find that monster.

Once that monster leaves the palace and flies away, this lotus country is so big, and Yanyu is not sure that he will be able to see each other again.

However, if the other party is still in the palace, it means that before she is found, there will be new dried corpses in the palace that have been sucked up and exhausted, because no matter who the other party is possessed, it will definitely suck ** blood every once in a while, so if you can't find the other party as soon as possible, it means that more and more people will die innocently and tragically.

In addition to being entangled, looking at the corpse on it, Yanyu wanted the Royal Forest Army outside the door to dispose of the corpse.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, because it would inevitably alarm His Majesty.

At that time, it will be difficult for her to explain about Yao'er.

She didn't even know who Yao'er was? I don't know what the monster that possessed Yao'er before was.

Second, if this matter spreads in the palace, it will only make the entire palace panic, and it will also force the monster dog to jump over the wall and kill innocents indiscriminately.

Moreover, in the next three days, her main energy was to collect evidence that Concubine Yin had killed innocents indiscriminately for so many years, and to avenge Princess Yidan's mother and other souls who died in her hands in vain.

It also allows the people of the entire Lotus Country who don't know the truth to see through the true face of Concubine Yin, so as not to be fooled by Concubine Yin for a long time and blindly admire.

In this case, Yanyu understands that she can only dispose of this corpse by herself.

And there is another problem, that is, Yao'er accompanied her to the dinner held by His Majesty before, including His Majesty, many ministers and concubines have seen Yao'er, and they also know that Yao'er lives in her Goddess Palace.

If they die so inexplicably, and even the corpse is decomposed, it will be difficult to explain it to His Majesty.

Suddenly, Yanyu fell into deep contemplation again
