Nalan Tianyue hurried back to Beijing.

It was found that as soon as it was dark, the city gate had been closed in advance.

Groups of soldiers patrolled the city wall, and the rumoring appearance showed that the cause of Emperor Xuanwu's death was not so simple.

"Miss, why don't we go into the city and bring the red-horned spirit horse back when it is dawn."

Hanagawa suggested.

"Into town!"

Nalan Tianyue nodded, and the group quietly entered the city.

Originally, Shangjing was a city that never sleeps, and it was a lively time after dark.

But now there is no one walking in the streets, and all the doors of the houses are hung with white couplings, and only the patrolling soldiers are shuttling.

"Miss, shall we go back to Feihong Yuan first, or should we go to Wanbao Pavilion first?"

Hanagawa asked in a low voice.

"Go back to Feihong Yuan first!"

Compared with Emperor Xuanwu, Nalan Tianyue was more worried about whether something would happen to his lair.

As night fell, Xiaoqing was lighting the lamp, and stood up vigilantly when she heard the sound of the house protection formation.

Qiao Yun floated out to check, and saw that it was Nalan Tianyue who came back, and immediately shouted happily: "Sister, it's the eldest lady who is back!" ”

"Miss, you're back."

When Xiaoqing saw Nalan Tianyue coming back, she was so happy that she was about to jump up.

The eldest lady is not at home, and she always feels empty in her heart.

"How's the house, has anyone come to visit Hongu recently?"

As soon as Nalan Tianyue sat down, Xiaoqing immediately brought hot tea and served it.

"The family is very good, Sister Lotus embroiders in the house every day and doesn't go out at all, and Wu Yeling takes the little flowers to soak in the blessed land every day and doesn't even go back to the house."

"When you just left, Madame came to you every day, and she never came after the emperor died."

Xiaoqing couldn't help pouting when she said this, and said, "I heard Sister Jixiang say that Mrs. is proud now, even Xiangye follows her, Sister Jixiang, they have been wearing small shoes several times." ”

"Let Jixiang endure them, Gong Yujiao won't be proud for long."

Nalan Tianyue said lightly.

Gong Yujiao probably thought that after the death of Emperor Xuanwu, Nalan Jiaqi would definitely be able to follow Baili Yanming as the queen, so she began to her tail.

But the tail was cocked too early.

As long as Baili Longyan is there, this throne cannot be Baili Yanming's.

"By the way, eldest miss, did you get the Gu family's treasures when you went out this time?"

Xiaoqing hurriedly asked.

"There are no Gu family treasures at all."

Nalan Tianyue briefly said the matter of the Gu family.

When Xiaoqing heard that Gu Wuya was dead, she immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"By the way, what happened to Emperor Xuanwu's death?"

Nalan Tianyue asked Qiaoyun Dao.

"The slave doesn't know what's going on, and the tone over there is also quite tight, saying that when you come back, you must go to Wanbao Pavilion."

Qiaoyun shook her head, originally she wanted to enter the palace to check the situation, but she was stopped by Xiaoqing.

Thanks to the fact that she didn't go, there were a few witches and ghosts in the palace who were investigating the cause of Emperor Xuanwu's death, and if they caught him, he really couldn't tell what he wanted.

"Hongu knows."

Nalan Tianyue nodded, and then began to assign tasks.

"Jingyi, you've worked hard this time, let's go rest first!"

"Bai Yu, you take care of Hu Xiaoli."

"Hanagawagawa accompanies the main palace to Wanbao Pavilion."

"Yes!"

Hua Chuanchuan should be respectful, but secretly made a grimace at Bai Yu.

Let you find trouble, you deserve it!

Bai Yu glanced at Hua Chuanchuan with disdain, as long as he conscientiously completed the tasks assigned by the eldest lady, he could please her.

Gu Jingyi also nodded obediently, she knew that she didn't have any skills now, and she couldn't help in the past, so she didn't dare to compete for favor like Hua Chuanchuan and Bai Yu.

Nalan Tianyue took Hua Chuanchuan to Wanbao Pavilion and found that the lights inside were bright, and the golden shopkeeper, fox, graphite and others were still working.

"Shopkeeper Jin, you know that we have returned triumphantly, and you have come to greet us!"

Hanagawa is still the usual hippie smiley.

"The eldest lady has already settled the matter of the Gu family?"

Shopkeeper Jin asked in surprise, this is really the best news he has heard in this time.

"Well, what about His Highness the War King?"

Nalan Tianyue glanced at Wanbao Pavilion and didn't see Baili Longyan.

"The emperor died suddenly, the court was in chaos, His Royal Highness has entered the palace to preside over the overall situation, if the old man knows that the eldest lady is coming back today, he will definitely not let His Royal Highness enter the palace."

The golden shopkeeper said tiredly, there are too many things during this time, and his white hair has grown.

"What happened in the palace, how did Emperor Xuanwu die?"

Nalan Tianyue has always felt strange, with Baili Longyan watching in Shangjing, how could Emperor Xuanwu still have an accident?

"Hey, it's a shame to say."

The golden shopkeeper was ashamed to talk about the cause of Emperor Xuanwu's death.

It turned out to be a stroke that died on horseback!

It turned out that Emperor Xuanwu killed the queen and the concubine one after another, and after driving the prince away, he suddenly felt that the issue of heirs was very important.

Sow seeds night and night, and strive to blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible.

As a result, he was overworked and died on the belly of a palace concubine.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with that palace concubine?"

Nalan Tianyue subconsciously suspected that it was a conspiracy of the Demon Alliance.

Although Emperor Xuanwu is sixty years old, he has always been well maintained, so he will not die if he sleeps a few concubines!

"The palace concubine died not long after she was imprisoned, and the body was placed in the underground ice room, and I asked the eldest lady to help take a look."

The golden shopkeeper hurriedly said.

They invited the puppeteer, the spiritual doctor, and the witch ghost to check on him, but they didn't see any clues, so they hoped that Nalan Tianyue would come back.

"Take Hongu to see it."

Nalan Tianyue got up and followed the golden shopkeeper to the underground ice room.

The golden shopkeeper pulled out an ice coffin, and there was a young girl lying inside, with willow eyebrows, melon seed face, and a smart and clever appearance.

"Huh?"

Nalan Tianyue took a closer look and couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise.

"What did the eldest lady find?"

The golden shopkeeper hurriedly asked.

They searched for so long and didn't find any clues, and the eldest lady saw the clues as soon as she came, and she deserved to be the first witch ghost in Beijing.

"No, this palace recognizes this palace concubine, she is the palace maid mandarin duck next to the queen's mother."

Nalan Tianyue once entered the palace and refused to marry Baili Yanming, and it was this mandarin duck who sent her out of the palace at that time.

Later, after she found the ghost of Concubine Xian Niangniang in the imperial garden, she sent the mandarin duck to fetch water, so she still had a little impression of her.

By this time, the living girl had turned into a corpse.

His skin was pale, his lips were black, and he was covered only with a white sheet, and there was no hair underneath.

"Is this really the queen's maid?"

The golden shopkeeper asked in surprise.

"Shopkeeper Jin, will the eldest lady still lie to you?"

Hanagawa said dissatisfiedly.

"No, no, no!"

The golden shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and apologized, "Don't misunderstand, the subordinates are just too surprised." ”

"After the death of the queen's mother, all the palace maids in Chuxiu Palace were assigned to work as coolies in the court, but I really didn't expect that there would be palace maids who became palace concubines."

"It's okay!"

Even Nalan Tianyue was surprised when she saw the mandarin duck, not to mention the golden shopkeeper.

Nalan Tianyue opened the ghost eyes and circled around the body of the mandarin duck, and found that the mandarin duck looked old on the surface, and the flesh inside was too fresh.

She raised her index finger, and the red ghost fire condensed into a red knife and slashed on the mandarin duck's hand, and the bright red blood beads seeped out, not at all like a person who had been dead for a few days.

"It's strange that this corpse has been in the ice room for so many days, and it shouldn't be so fresh even if it doesn't decay."

The gold shopkeeper also noticed that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the ice room is so cold that even normal people's blood will flow very slowly, let alone a corpse that has been sitting for a few days.

"There must be something in her stomach that keeps her body from melting!"

Nalan Tianyue pressed on the mandarin duck's belly, but she didn't touch the imaginary bulge.

"There were witches who suspected that she had a stomach problem, but they didn't find anything."

The golden shopkeeper shook his head, the witch and ghost spirit doctor had tried, but he didn't find anything.

"That's because you haven't found a way to wake it up."

Nalan Tianyue looked at Hua Chuanchuan, squinted her eyes and hooked the pie at him. The slender index finger said, "Come here." ”

"What?"

As soon as Hua Chuanchuan saw the eldest lady's expression, he felt that his scalp was numb, and he walked over after a long time.

"What are you afraid of, this palace just wants to borrow a drop of your essence blood for use."

Nalan Tianyue grabbed Hua Chuanchuan's palm without refusal, and the red nails stabbed him in the thumb.
