Entering the Maze Palace is to look for clues with a glimmer of hope.

But in fact, if you can unknowingly harm the princess in the well-guarded palace, and choose a mysterious place like the Maze Palace, either your identity is not ordinary, or your thinking is not ordinary, and you will not easily leave any clues.

Confessing that Ge Feng was waiting outside the Maze Palace, Yun Qixi and Shan Jingyan walked in together.

"Wait!" As soon as she stepped into the Maze Palace, she immediately stopped Shan Jingyan, and at the same time stared at the ground at the entrance for a moment.

Due to the mysterious structure of the Labyrinth Palace, there are very few people who can walk out, so there are usually no people who even clean it. It is precisely because of this that over the years, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground.

So at this moment, the footprints can be clearly seen on the ground, some in and some out.

Thinking about it carefully, there have only been a few people who have been in recently.

First of all, on the night of the queen's birthday banquet, there were three people who entered, she and the assassins of the Zhao family, and Shan Jingyan. And when Shan Baozhu had an accident, there must have only been two people, Baozhu and the villain.

And it has been a while since the queen's birthday banquet, and the footprints of that day were covered with dust, and they will definitely be shallower than those later.

If you look closely, there is clearly a trail of drag in the middle of the messy footprints.

"Jing Yan, walk against the wall." She said.

Although Shan Jingyan didn't know what she was going to do, she still did what she said, leaning against the wall step by step like her.

This minimizes the loss of the original footprints.

Along the trail of dragging, they went deeper and deeper step by step.

Along the way, although the footprints were a little messy, it could be seen that in addition to the two trails of dragging, two footprints were very clear.

After walking around for a while, Yun Qixi stopped and asked, "Jing Yan, is this the right way?" ”

Shan Jingyan nodded, "That's right." ”

That is to say, the villain is also very familiar with the Maze Palace.

Continuing to walk forward, at a fork in the road, Yun Qixi was still walking in the direction of dragging, but Shan Jingyan said, "Wrong, Qixi, you should go this way." ”

Yun Qixi looked at her feet, although the further she walked in, the darker the light became, but her eyesight was good, and the trail of dragging Feiming was in another direction.

"Let's go this way first." She said to Shan Jingyan.

Shan Jingyan nodded and followed her in that direction.

After walking for a while, it was a dead corner, and there was a space of two or three square meters in the dead corner.

Yun Qixi stared at the ground, and felt a chill in his heart.

The trail of dragging ended here, and the ground was messy, with footprints and handprints, and it was clearly visible that there was a ball of blood red on the ground, which had solidified.

Looking at these traces, Yun Qixi can basically restore the scene in his mind.

Presumably, Shan Baozhu was humiliated by the villains here, she can imagine her struggles, her helplessness, and her tears.

Yun Qixi held his hand against the wall, his fingers were fierce, and he couldn't wait to scratch a hole in the wall.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Shan Jingyan hurriedly held her hand to prevent her from hurting herself, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Yun Qixi closed his eyes to calm himself down, and then squatted down to take a closer look. Unable to bear to look at the bloodstain, her eyes searched carefully along the way in, and finally found a footprint that was clear and complete enough, and she measured the footprint with her fingers, imprinting the size and shape of the footprint deeply in her mind.

After measuring, she subconsciously glanced at Shan Jingyan's footprints, which were obviously larger than Shan Jingyan's footprints, and the shoes worn by the prince had delicate patterns on the soles, but this shoe print was like an ordinary cloth sole.

She knew that she shouldn't compare Shan Jingyan's footprints, but there were too few people who could walk in here to find the answer, so she could only use the elimination method one by one.

"Has anyone else been here?" Shan Jingyan also saw some Mingtang from her actions.

Yun Qixi stood up and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I'm curious, who else can get out of this Maze Palace." If you don't have a map, or if you haven't seen it, is it possible to get out? ”

"Impossible!" Shan Jingyan replied firmly, "The complexity of the Maze Palace is beyond people's imagination, there are eighty-eight forks, even me and the third brother can only get out because we have memorized the map." ”

"Who has this map?" She asked.

Shan Jingyan thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, my father gave me the map, the second brother, the third brother, and the fifth brother. ”

This is the same as what Shan Liancheng said at the time.

"Is it possible for my father to give the map to someone else?"

Shan Jingyan shook his head, "Probably not, because at that time, I heard that there were only five copies of the map, and my father should have one in his own hand." ”

Shan Baozhu is Shan Ye's only daughter, and he can see that he loves her very much on weekdays, and he can't hurt his daughter.

"Where's your map?" They walked out together, Yun Qixi asked.

Shan Jingyan said with a smile, "My father distributed the map to us at that time, and gave us a cup of tea, and after I read it, I burned it in front of the second and third brothers." I just want to tell the second brother and the third brother that I don't need that handsome seal. ”

The remaining few people, excluding Shan Liancheng and Shan Jingyan, only Shan Ziyin and the fifth prince Shan Cong who have never been seen are left, but it is said that Shan Cong has already been assigned to the frontier, how can there be an incident in the palace?

In fact, she has already figured it out, whoever wants to stop this marriage will be the most suspicious, and when she came to the Maze Palace today, she just hoped to find out more clear evidence.

Bidding farewell to Shan Jingyan, she and Ge Feng were ready to leave the palace together, but they didn't want to meet officials going to court.

Everyone is coming out of the Taihe Palace, walking towards the Taidian Square, preparing to leave the palace.

Coincidentally, Yun Qixi saw Shan Ziyin walking down the long jade steps. And Shan Ziyin, who was walking and talking with another person, easily saw the woman standing in the square.

After a few brief words with the person next to him, the man said goodbye and left first. Shan Ziyin slowly walked towards Yun Qixi at this time.

Shan Zi is hidden in a court dress, a bright topaz belt, a pearl on his chest, and his hair is meticulously tied, looking like a human dog.

But Yun Qixi kept staring at his feet, and she finally raised her head until he was already standing in front of her.

"Are you waiting for me?" There was some uncertainty in Shan Ziyin's tone.

Yun Qixi raised his head and showed a friendly smile, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Shan Ziyin had probably rarely seen her smile so kind, she was stunned for a moment, and her voice was very soft.

"Qixi Festival, last time I had the intention to come to your field, but I didn't want to come with the Moon Club, and something like that happened, I'm sorry."

Yun Qixi smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, people who like Qixi won't take this little episode to heart." ”

Shan Ziyin nodded in agreement, "That's right." ”

After thinking about it, Yun Qixi chuckled again, "Actually, it's no wonder that sister, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes his sister all the way when he goes out, won't there be no such thing?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't be disgusted with his sister's appearance and ruined, and it would be embarrassing to bring it out, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be like this, although my sister is not as beautiful as before, but she has a deep affection for you. ”

"I don't dislike her because of her looks." The list is vaguely smiling, and the tone is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

His eyes swept over Ge Feng, who was standing not far behind Yun Qixi, he leaned his head slightly, and said softly, "A woman can not be beautiful, but she can't be smart." ”

This is not clear to say that Yun Lanyue is ugly and stupid?

Yun Qixi snorted, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Actually, today I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to borrow something."

"Oh?" Shan Ziyin was quite surprised, "I have something you can see, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to borrow a map of the Maze Palace."

When Yun Qixi said this, he kept staring at Shan Ziyin's expression.

When he heard this, he was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "What do you want this for?" I remember that the third brother also had one. ”

Yun Qixi deliberately suddenly proposed in his defenseless situation, she believed that no matter how well a person was disguised, he would show flaws in an unguarded situation, but she was sure that she didn't see half a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, so I want to see, Liancheng he went on an expedition, I just thought of asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to borrow it, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is convenient to borrow it?"

"Nothing inconvenient."

Yun Qixi didn't expect him to be so happy to agree.

"Then I don't know when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be convenient for me?"

"If you're in a hurry, come back to the Prince's Mansion with me to get it." Shan Ziyin looked calm, and there was always a faint smile on his face.

Either Shan Baozhu's matter really has nothing to do with him, or his acting skills are too good?

"Okay."

Regardless of the facts, let's see if he can get the map.

So Yun Qixi got into the carriage of the prince's mansion, and Ge Feng still followed all the way.

Shan Ziyin glanced at Ge Feng who was riding a horse and following the carriage from the window, and said with a smile, "The Ge guard is the personal guard of the third brother, and he is very good at kung fu, this time the third brother didn't let him go out together, but let him protect you, it can be seen that the third brother is really meticulous to you." ”

"Of course." When it comes to Shan Liancheng, Yun Qixi's heart warms.

Shan Ziyin pursed his lips and smiled again, "It seems that the third brother and you really have a deep relationship, and it is really enviable to look at it." ”

I don't know if he is really envious or fake envy, in short, Yun Qixi feels that his smile is a little meaningful, and a little unpredictable. It was as if he knew something she didn't know, and he deliberately didn't say it.

"What is there to envy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his sister are not the same, they have experienced a lot of twists and turns, overcome all difficulties, and finally came together, I believe that it must be stronger than Jin."

Shan Ziyin's smile did not decrease, but his eyes darkened a little, "At first, there was a sentence in the palace, but I only said half of it. ”

"What?" Yun Qixi stared at him.
