The Imperial Palace of the Lotus Kingdom, the Palace of the Goddess.

Yanyu was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror and falling into deep thought, as for the goddess mask on her face, she had taken off her face.

Not far away, Phantom Lian was helping Yanyu make the bed, while Meng Ling was carefully removing Yanyu's makeup.

At this moment, Yanyu looked tired, obviously she had not rested well in the royal mausoleum before, and rushed back to the palace after a tiring journey, and also participated in the welcome dinner held by His Majesty for her.

During the period, in addition to telling the ministers and concubines, princesses and princesses about the interesting anecdotes of the Langyue Wollman clan, he also cooperated with Phantom Lotus Meng Ling and made a game with all the guests.

If His Majesty hadn't worried that she would have worked too hard and changed Yanyu's personal divination for him to the next day, Yanyu probably wouldn't have been able to return to the palace to rest at this moment.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? It's all back in your dormitory, why are you still so preoccupied? If you have anything to say, don't worry, now we don't have to whisper anymore. Because Sister Phantom Lotus had already ordered the royal guards to guard around the palace just now, and added a light film to prevent eavesdropping with the unique soundproofing secret technique of our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom, so if the princess has anything to say, just rest assured. Meng Ling glanced at Yanyu from the mirror and asked with some puzzlement.

"Oh...... It's nothing, it's just a little tired! You two should go to rest early later, right? I've been cleaning the cemetery for the past few days, so I guess you two haven't rested well, so go and rest early, I don't have to guard here. It is enough to have a royal guard outside. Besides, my Ling'er is also playing outside, and I will be the first to know about any disturbances or dangers. Yanyu retracted his thoughts, shook his head and said.

"Okay, princess, who is this Ling'er?" Meng Ling agreed obediently, and asked Ling'er with a puzzled expression.

"It must be the monkey outside the door, right? I just saw the princess's mask on the table turn into a monkey and go out of the window. If I hadn't read an ancient book that introduced the mask of a goddess, I would have been shocked. After cleaning up the bed, Phantom Lian said.

"Huh? Princess, how alive is your mask? Or is it a monkey? That's cute, isn't it? Can I hold it another day? Meng Ling asked curiously.

"You know how to play! This mask becomes the monkey's equivalent to the eyes and ears of the princess, everything the monkey sees and hears, the princess can see and hear as long as she closes her eyes, so if you play with the monkey, then you can do something bad and lack virtue, and the princess will know it as soon as possible. Silly girl! Phantom Lotus glanced at Meng Ling and deliberately teased.

"You are doing bad things and lack of virtue! Hum! Ignore you! Princess, then Ling'er went back to her room to sleep, so sleepy! See you tomorrow. Meng Ling glared at Phantom Lotus and said angrily.

After saying that, he yawned and got up and left.

"Phantom Lian, you can go back too, remember to wake me up early tomorrow morning, so as not to miss Your Majesty's early dynasty. This is also the first time that His Majesty has invited me to participate in the early dynasty, so I must not leave a bad impression on the ministers. Yanyu got up and said.

"Okay, princess, I'll help you to bed, and when you're asleep, I'll leave." Phantom Lotus said intimately.

"That'...... All right. By the way, after I was put on death row because of the death of the queen mother, did Your Majesty not continue to investigate the cause of death of the queen mother and Concubine Jing? Yanyu asked casually when she was helped to the bed by Phantom Lotus.

"At that time, His Majesty was too sad and kept staying by the queen's side, and then he simply stayed in the royal mausoleum. I didn't return to the palace until the seventy-seven and forty-nine days were over. Therefore, the matter of continuing to investigate the cause of death of the queen mother and Concubine Jing was temporarily shelved. Besides, all this is too weird, and it is not an ordinary case, and it also involves the royal **. Who would dare to take this hot potato from the criminal department official who is responsible for investigating the case? They all feel that whoever checks is unlucky, in case they can't find out, and then provoke Long Yan to be angry and invite death, it is not worth it. Later, after His Majesty returned to the palace, he did not mention this matter again, and the ministers simply kept silent. Phantom Lotus patiently explained, and analyzed the reason again.

"I see! No wonder at the banquet just now, I pretended not to know about the queen's mother's accident, and when I asked about the queen's mother, His Majesty's originally good mood became very sad again. When I took the initiative to help His Majesty find out the case of the Empress and Concubine Jing, he answered a little vaguely, and those ministers pretended not to hear, and no one dared to open their mouths to answer this question, it seems that they are afraid of getting into trouble! Yanyu suddenly said.

At this moment, the two of them also came to the bedside, and with the support of Phantom Lotus, Yanyu slowly lay down, probably because she was not sleepy, Yanyu simply closed her eyes and rested, and chatted with Phantom Lotus.

"Then princess, do you really want to continue to investigate the cause of death of the queen mother and the concubine Jing? Do you have to think twice about this thankless task? So as not to displease Your Majesty, and accidentally expose your identity as Yanyu, then you will really die without a place to be buried. After all, in Your Majesty's heart, the queen died in your hands, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw it with his own eyes as evidence! After helping Yanyu cover the quilt, Phantom Lotus sat on the edge of the bed and reminded kindly.

"Don't worry, I'm measured. Although these two cases are strange and clueless, as long as there is a murderer, there will always be a day when they will be investigated. Besides, I can't pretend to be the goddess and the queen mother forever, one day I still have to restore Yanyu's identity, so I have to clear my grievances! And I have a hunch that it will be of great benefit to me to find out what I am looking for in the palace. Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's talk about His Royal Highness the Prince's travels, right? Yanyu closed his eyes and said leisurely.

"Okay, princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also deeply affected by the death of the queen's mother, so he proposed to go out for a year, first, to relax, and secondly, to see the new Lotus Kingdom, to observe the people's feelings, once he really ascends the throne in the future, he also knows how to govern the country. It's just that he went out alone this time, and he didn't bring a single guard, so I'm really worried about whether he will encounter any danger! Phantom Lotus also said in a somewhat sad tone, and when she talked about the back, she still showed a trace of worry.

After all, Phantom Lotus was the personal palace maid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and she has been serving Jun Buyu for a few months, plus Jun Buyu is erudite and talented, and he is upright, friendly, very good at getting along with people, and very considerate of people, there is no other prince and princess who are indifferent, so in Phantom Lian's mind, he is also treated as a good bosom friend.

"What? Didn't he even bring a single royal guard? Could it be that even the secret guards were not sent out to secretly protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? When Yanyu heard that Jun Buyu had left the palace alone, he also opened his eyes with a frown and asked.

Because Yanyu knows that although this Lotus Country is completely unified, after all, the time is too short, and the land area of the Lotus Country today has almost doubled due to the addition of the original Black-tailed Leafhopper Country, the desert, and the area of the ruins of the Lotus Country.

With such a large land of the New Lotus Country, it is inevitable that there will be some inaccessible places, and there will be remnants of hostile forces like the Black-tailed Leafhopper Country, and it is not even ruled out that there are new unknown evil forces lurking, once they learn that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is traveling alone, they will definitely kidnap or assassinate him, and then the Lotus Kingdom will probably start a new war again.

"That's right, Princess. Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to be quiet alone, and he also wanted to really temper himself, he resolutely did not want His Majesty to send secret guards to protect him. His Majesty saw that he had made up his mind, so he did not insist on it anymore. Just asked him to send a message back to the palace at his convenience, telling him about his travels, so that His Majesty could rest assured. He also deliberately handed over the ancestral Lotus Heart Tiansha Sword to His Royal Highness the Prince, seeing that this sword was like a saint, so in a crisis situation, he used this sword to summon officers and soldiers to protect him, and he could also have the power to cut the corrupt officials and corrupt officials encountered during the journey. Phantom Lotus patiently explained.

"Lotus Heart Heavenly Sword? Although I have never seen this sword, it is very domineering when I hear the name, and it is an ancestral treasure, so it should have its extraordinary! Presumably, as long as it is not surrounded by thousands of troops, ordinary thieves may really not be able to help His Royal Highness the Prince. By the way, in the future, as long as there is anything related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must report it to me as soon as possible. We also have to find a way to contact the other people left behind in the Lotus Kingdom of our Golden Crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom as soon as possible, and pass on the portrait of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to them, so that all the people in the Golden Crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom can protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in secret, you know! Yanyu said with some reassurance.

Just after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not safe, and gave an order to Phantom Lotus with a serious expression.

"Yes, princess, the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrapped up in Phantom Lotus. It's not too early, so why don't you rest early? I have to get up early tomorrow and participate in the morning pilgrimage. Phantom Lotus replied respectfully.

"Okay, then I'll sleep, you can rest early later." Yanyu closed his eyes again and said a little tiredly.

The moment she closed her eyes, she only felt that her eyes suddenly lit up, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the picture outside the dormitory, and then she remembered that her mask, that is, the monkey named Ling'er, was still playing outside the dormitory.

Then Yanyu silently recited a spell to control Ling'er's gaze and scanned the surroundings, and did not find anything wrong, just when she was about to temporarily turn off the control of Ling'er and fall asleep peacefully, she found a black shadow sneakily groping under the eaves of the palace, and seemed to be coming towards her bedroom.

Because of the nocturnal tights worn by this black shadow, his skills were excellent, so he didn't alarm the royal guards.

But Ling'er is not an ordinary monkey, but a divine monkey transformed by a goddess's mask, and is extremely sensitive to everything that happens around her, so she noticed this uninvited guest for the first time, and also transmitted the picture to Yanyu who planned to sleep for the first time.

Suddenly, Yanyu didn't sleep anymore, recited the spell silently again, controlled the monkey Ling'er to hide, and hid in the dark to carefully observe the black shadow, to see what the other party was doing when he came here late at night......
