"An inconsequential chamberlain. However, from the content of his explanation, it can be concluded that he was arranged by a chamberlain in the palace, wearing Wang Fuhai's human skin mask, and he didn't know anything after leading you here. ”

"I wonder what the king thinks?"

Lone thought that this was still a trap for Su Qingyu. It's just that what Lone can't figure out now is why she wants to lure you here, will she lead you here, is she going to kill you or has other schemes? ”

"I have an idea, I don't know if the king agrees."

"Tell me and listen to it?"

"I don't think Su Jinhe brought me here to kill me, or to know everything about this plan from me, but the person who wanted to get information for him didn't come, as for why that person didn't come here. I want to ask the king to go up and investigate. ”

Hearing what Luo Ge said, Muzi sighed softly, and then said, "Within two days, you will already have a life-threatening situation, as well as a situation where you were coerced and lured. From now on, you will follow Lonely. ”

Hearing this, Luo Ge's first reaction was to refuse, but she thought about it, if she left Mu Ziqin's protection range, then she would inevitably encounter the same situation in the next ten days. Even if he had escaped before, what about after that?

Seeing her fall into deep thought, Mu Ziqin also had his own plan in his heart, thinking that he would trap Luo Ge by his side from now on, no matter what she did, he could be under his nose, so that even if she passed on the news to the outside world or was really the number one killer, then he could capture her as soon as possible. Such a way to kill two birds with one stone is the best for him.

Luo Ge also thought of the point that Mu Ziqin thought of, but she felt that it was important to save her life now, so she finally agreed to Mu Ziqin's proposal and followed him.

In this way, the two of them prepared to live together in the next ten days.

The hunting in the palace is also boring, except for following Mu Ziqin in and out every day. Luo Ge came out of his residence early in the morning, and then followed Mu Ziqin to the hunting ground to hunt. Then listen to the ministers tout each other. Although she had been used to seeing this kind of scene in Su Qianguo before, after all, she was still not used to it.

Since that day, no suspicious person has appeared again for about five consecutive days, or someone has found an excuse to let Luo Ge leave, and the disguised little chamberlain who was originally caught was also imprisoned.

However, on the sixth day, there was a piece of news that Luo Ge found terrible.

Liu Fu, the chamberlain whom Luo Ge had only met twice, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Ge suddenly received the news of his death.

Although; Luo Ge is not a particularly soft-hearted person, but after all, she has a two-sided relationship with him, and she will still feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

According to the report of the chamberlain, Liu Fu was killed in the harem garden and buried under the king's favorite peach tree. When the corpse was dug up, it was already crawling with corpse worms, and it was full of foul odors.

Hearing this, Luo Ge interrupted the report and asked, "Have you asked Qi Zuo to come into the palace to see?" ”

"I'm testing."

Listening to the return of the servant, Mu Ziqin and Luo Ge were taken aback. The two glanced at each other, and then listened to Mu Ziqin: "Liu Funai is an old minister in the palace, and he is also one of the queen mother's favorite people, how could he be poisoned by this?" ”

Mu Ziqin said this with a little doubt and blame, although her expression was pity, but his eyes revealed a ruthlessness.

"I don't know, it's just that an academician from the Tai Hospital has just gone to the scene."

Listening to the report of the waiter, Mu Ziheng directly pulled Luo Ge on the side and went directly to the place where Liu Fu was dug up.

After a while, the two of them arrived.

The ministers, guards, and chamberlains who reported the case on the spot immediately knelt down and saluted when they saw Mu Ziqin. Mu Ziqinzi didn't care about this, he hurriedly walked under the peach blossom tree. What caught my eye was a corpse crawling with hundreds of insects of all sizes.

If it was the palace clothes on his body and the waist tag hanging on his waist, he would not be able to recognize him as Liu Fu, who had been serving the Queen Mother before.

Looking at Muzi's expression, everyone didn't know how to reply, and they didn't dare to kneel on the ground.

Luo Ge looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little strange, Mu Ziqin was no longer the gentle she once knew, and the sense of majesty emanating from his body no longer announced his identity to everyone.

"Can someone tell Lone what this is going on?"

The person who was kneeling in the crowd raised his head, Luo Ge knew him, he was Cheng Lu Yun, the waiter of the Criminal Department.

He took the lead in raising his head and replied: "Back to the king, now that he has conducted a simple examination of the corpse, it can be said that Liu Fu was poisoned and died, and there is no sign of struggle today to guess, this is done by someone he knows." That Liu Fu was buried under the peach blossom tree before the emperor came to the palace. ”

Hearing this, Mu Ziqing was a little shocked at me, and he asked, "Have you ever deduced that he died a few days ago?" ”

"The words of the king were about the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month before the Chinese New Year. Because according to the degree of decomposition of the corpse and the degree of insect bite, it must take more than ten days to achieve such an effect, if it is in a short time, it must be insects with special drugs to eat. ”

Luo Ge, who was standing on the side, looked at the corpse on the ground and did not speak, observing carefully. Mu Ziqin continued to ask: "If Liu Fu died before the twelfth day, as you said, then who is the person Gu has seen in these days?" Liu Fu's figure, tone and movements, are all familiar to him. ”

These words stumped Cheng Luyun. Although he did not enter the palace often, he attended every morning. This is called Liu Fu's interior, and he can often see it.

Looking at his embarrassed expression, Luo Ge suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that this is the use of a powder of 'corpse powder' to cause Liu Fu's corpse to decompose quickly, not that Liu Fu died before the twelve. Moreover, this kind of 'corpse powder' is not common in the palace, and it is also rare in the rivers and lakes. It's normal for adults to not know. Because its name is Speedy. ”

"And how do you know?"

Luo Ge's erudition is something that Mu Ziqin has never seen in the first three years, I heard that Mu Ziqin rarely visits Luo Ge, but his surveillance of Luo Ge has never been relaxed, and the news of his secret guard has never revealed that Luo Ge knows this.

"The concubine once read it in a medical book. The book says that Rapid Life is a miracle medicine that can speed up the decay of corpses, and because it contains special ingredients, it will attract insects from all sides to come and eat corpses. Therefore, it accelerates the decomposition of the corpse, and turns the corpse into ashes within a certain period of time, which is much faster than the natural decay of ordinary corpses. ”

At this time, Cheng Luyun asked: "Then according to Niangniang, how many days ago did this Liu Zhang die?" ”

If there is no error in the observation, it should be inferred that it should be three. days ago. ”

"Three days?" Mu Ziqin asked, after all, he had asked Liu Fu to leave the palace and return to the palace to take care of the Queen Mother three days ago, but how could he appear in this place?

Looking at the questions on his face, Wang Fuhai beside him suddenly said loudly: "If you go back to the emperor, in fact, there was an inner attendant from the palace who reported that the queen mother was going to send someone to talk to the king, but she didn't come until today." Now it seems that this person must be Liu Fu. ”

"Why didn't you report it before?" Regarding Wang Fuhai's sudden report, Mu Ziqin was a little angry.

Wang Fuhai replied tremblingly: "Because the invited servant told the slave that the queen mother wanted the king to listen to it personally, so let the old slave not report it first." The old slave thought that this was a matter between the king and the queen mother, so it was inconvenient to pursue it more. ”

"In that case, it's not your responsibility, and where did the messenger go?"

"When I returned to the king, the chamberlain was left by the old slave after two of them."

"And since you kept him, it proves that you have doubts about his identity, have you ever confirmed his identity?"

"If you go back to the king, the old slave has already confirmed that this person is the last chamberlain in the queen mother's palace."

"Then have you ever sent someone back to the palace to reconfirm that this chamberlain is here for the purpose of coming?"

"The king's words, the slave has confirmed that it is the queen mother looking for you."

After Mu Ziqin's repeated confirmation, he knew that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, Wang Fuhai replied that his expression was extremely complicated, he looked at the people around him, and then said: "Cheng Aiqing, you are here to continue to investigate the murder." Waiting for you when you return to the palace alone. ”

After saying it just now, Mu Ziqin left with the centaur who had just come and Luo Ge, leaving Cheng Luyun and the original people in place to continue the investigation.

When he arrived at the residence of the palace, Mu Ziqin sneaked into the others, leaving Luo Ge and Wang Fuhai alone.

After the talent left, Mu Ziqin said sharply: "Wang Fuhai, you are so bold, you dare to deceive Gu!" ”

Hearing his words, Wang Fuhai was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The king's words, the old slave didn't do it intentionally. Everything happens for a reason. ”

"Everything is said in every detail, if there is half a deception and drag you out and behead the public."

Hearing his words, Wang Fuhai immediately kowtowed and thanked him, and then said: "If you go back to the king, in fact, the servant who came that day has been locked up by the old slave. ”

"Where?"

"If you go back to the king, the servants will be locked up in the dungeon of the palace according to the king's requirements, as long as they don't know the chamberlain or the palace maid."

"Have you ever found out who that person is and what he is here to do?"

"When I returned to the king, the old slave had already heard that this person was the last chamberlain in the queen's palace. He was ordered by the queen to come to pass the queen mother's decree and ordered the king to return to the palace. ”

"Then did she ever say that the queen asked him to bring anything other than to let Gu return to the palace?"

"If you go back to the king, the chamberlain has no other tasks,"

"Did you mention Liu Fu? Or, have you ever learned about Liu Fu's situation from him? ”

"No, the old slave never thought about what Liu Fu had to do with him."

"At that moment, you immediately go to the dungeon. Inquire from the chamberlain. Let's see if I can know anything about Liu Fu. ”
