Yongan wiped the beads of sweat from running on his forehead.

"I was found hanging in the Liufang Hall this morning."

Su Qingmo on the side said thoughtfully: "The cause of their death doesn't need to be investigated." ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at her, and Su Qingmo continued: "The prince still remembers those palace people who were hanged in the Liufang Palace. ”

Mu Yuanjing naturally remembered that such a terrifying scene was really hard to forget.

"Concubine Li's ghost has forgotten most of the things in her life because of the Heart-devouring Gu, so after King Yongding and Princess Anping were imprisoned in the Liufang Palace last night, they should have suffered the same thing as those palace people."

Su Qingmo paused, and then said: "Concubine Li Guifei controlled the minds of the two of them and let them hang themselves in the Liufang Hall with their own hands. ”

The ending of the two made Yongan a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that Princess Anping and King Yongding, who were invincible back then, ended up like this and died in the hands of their biological mother.

Mu Yuanjing got up and left from Mo Xiangju, walked in the direction of the study, and sat down on the table in the study, his eyes were fixed on the void in front of him, and his heart was a little complicated and indescribable.

He couldn't help but think deeply about what had happened since the appearance of Concubine Li's ghost.

First was the death of the queen, then Mu Yuanyi who raised the army, and finally the death of Mu Yuanyi and Mu Yuanrou, everything was like someone guiding him step by step behind him, and the man in black who was always hidden behind the scenes.

What exactly does he want to do? What is his purpose?

Mu Yuanjing was still immersed in thoughts, and Yongan hesitated and whispered: "Lord Wang"

Mu Yuanjing looked at him, and Yongan asked, "Do you still want to enter the palace today?" ”

Mu Yuanjing thought for a while and ordered, "Prepare the car." ”

Yong'an left, and after a while, he returned to the study to ask Mu Yuanjing to leave, and the two set off for the palace.

When Mu Yuanjing saw Emperor Wu An, Emperor Wu An was writing something, and after seeing the person coming, Emperor Wu An asked, "Came here for the matter of Liufang Palace?" ”

Mu Yuanjing told what happened in the Liufang Palace, and finally told Emperor Wu'an about Su Qingmo's conclusion, and then asked, "Is there a way to deal with it?" ”

Emperor Wu An threw down the pen in his hand, "I decided to bury Mu Yuanyi and Mu Yuanrou secretly, and said to the outside world that people have been trapped in the Liufang Palace." ”

This is indeed a good method, if the news of Mu Yuanyi and Mu Yuanrou's death reaches the people, even if it is not the hand of Emperor Wu'an, he will not be able to speak clearly.

Mu Yuanjing then asked, "What are the imperial brothers in the Yongding Palace's Mansion and Princess Anping's Mansion planning?" ”

"Except for the concubine and the princess of Yongding, all the guilty will be beheaded, and the innocent will be sent to the frontier."

Mu Yuanjing knew the difficulties of Emperor Wu'an, and it was good to say that the Bai family did not hold important official positions in the court, but Princess Yongding was a little tricky, and Princess Zhou Yuetong's father was the prime minister of the dynasty.

In fact, the first time Mu Yuanyi was imprisoned, Emperor Wu'an sent someone to leak the news to Zhou Chengxiang, as far as he knew, the relationship between Zhou Yuetong and Mu Yuanyi was not close, and if Mu Yuanyi had not reported the matter in advance, he might not have been able to solve the matter so smoothly.

Emperor Wu An waited in the palace for a whole morning, and there was no news of Zhou Chengxiang entering the palace, and Emperor Wu An knew that Zhou Cheng was only afraid that he was planning to give up his eldest daughter.

Mu Yuanjing was about to speak, but he heard Emperor Wu An ask in the direction behind him, "What are your plans now?" ”

He turned around following Emperor Wu'an's line of sight, and a woman quietly appeared behind him.

Mu Yuanjing looked at the woman in front of him, and didn't know whether to call her Princess Yongding or Miss Zhou.

Zhou Yuetong, who was supposed to be in prison with Princess Anping's concubine, said behind Emperor Wu'an and Mu Yuan Jingfu: "I want to leave the capital and live a quiet life. ”

Zhou Yuetong's face was unwavering, and his eyes looked at Emperor Wu An calmly.

Emperor Wu An looked at her for a long time, and when he was sure that the other party really wanted this, he agreed: "I will give you enough money and send someone to send you out of the capital, but after leaving here, you can no longer use Zhou Yuetong's identity, nor can you return to the capital, if the person who called me finds out, you know the consequences very well." ”

Zhou Yuetong naturally knew the meaning of Emperor Wu'an's words, and she left behind Fu Lu after she was slightly blessed.

The rebellion between King Yongding and Princess Anping ended ridiculously like a farce, and Emperor Wu'an ordered people to put Mu Yuanyi and Mu Yuanrou in the Liufang Palace, and the queen's coffin was carried to the imperial tomb again, this time everything went smoothly, and there were no more accidents on the way.

Time slipped slowly, ushering in early spring, the ice and snow gradually melted, since the real cause of Li Guifei's death was investigated, Mu Yuanjing's hermit has been resting for a long time.

Since the palace banquet, Mu Yuanjing ignored Mu Yuanchu's love, and the more Mu Yuanchu returned to the mansion, the more angry he became, so he found the staff in the mansion to discuss not a national matter, but how to make Mu Yuanjing ugly.

Although the staff was embarrassed in their hearts, they still helped Mu Yuanchu come up with an idea: "I heard that the king of Linchuan is not in good health, so he doesn't drink a drop of wine." ”

When Mu Yuanchu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he warmly invited Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo to the palace as guests that night, things were similar to what he expected, Mu Yuanjing was drunk after drinking a few glasses, and Su Qingmo on the side was not very sober, the difference was that Mu Yuanjing did not make a fool of himself after getting drunk, but just sat quietly on the chair.

Mu Yuanchu, who didn't see the good show, had no choice but to send someone to send Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo back to the Linchuan Palace.

On the second day, when Su Qingmo woke up, he found that the clothes on the two of them were gone, and Su Qingmo could clearly feel the soreness in his waist and the discomfort in his body.

She walked away from the bed as lightly as she could, but before she could back a finger's distance, the arm around her waist exerted a slight force to make her lie back on her stomach.

A languid, low voice sounded overhead.

"Run for what?"

Su Qingmo looked out the window and forced himself to calm down: "It's time to start."

Mu Yuanjing, who has always had a regular schedule, closed his eyes, smiled at the corner of his lips, and said softly: "I'm sorry." ”

The people outside seemed to hear the movement inside, and called out with some hesitation: "Lord and Princess"

Su Qingmo grabbed the brocade quilt and sat up in front of her chest, as soon as she got up, Mu Yuanjing's entire chest was exposed to the air, Su Qingmo hurriedly looked away, coughed lightly, and asked outside: "What's the matter?" ”

Qingrui outside said: "Wei Xu has something to ask to see." ”

Wei Xu rarely comes to Moxiangju, and every time he comes, it must be a big deal.

Su Qingmo looked at Mu Yuanjing, Mu Yuanjing didn't tease her anymore, he picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and put them on, opened the door and said to Qinghe and Qingrui: "Go in and serve the princess." ”

Wei Xu waited in the courtyard of Moxiangju, saw Mu Yuanjing coming over, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, straightened up and found that Mu Yuanjing's face was unusually good, Wei Xu looked at it twice, and then heard Mu Yuanjing ask, "What happened?" ”

Wei Xu hurriedly gathered his mind and replied, "Nuan Yulou." ”

People who first heard the name of Nuan Yulou thought that it was a place to sell jade, but in fact it was not, Nuan Yulou is the largest green building in Beijing, and there is a sentence in "The Legend of the West Chamber" that 'I am here with nephrite warm fragrance and full of arms, Ruan Zhao to the rooftop, and the spring solstice flowers in the world are colorful.' The willow waist is swinged, the heart of the flower is lightly dismantled, and the dew drops of peony are opened', and the warm jade of the warm jade building has one of the meanings.

The reason why Nuan Yulou can become the most famous green building in the capital is because the girls in it are all good, poetry, calligraphy and painting, quyi and zheng, all of them are excellent, especially the Oiran selected every month, which is one of the best.

Su Qingmo, who had just cleaned up, walked out of the Moxiang Residence, and heard Wei Xu's last words, and she was curious: "What is the place of Nuan Yulou?" ”

Wei Xu glanced at Mu Yuanjing, saw that he didn't stop him, and said, "Back to the princess, Nuan Yulou is the largest green building in Beijing. ”

Su Qingmo's face did not show any abnormality because of the word Qinglou, she asked, "Is something wrong with the people in Nuan Yulou?" ”

Wei Xu nodded and told the situation.

"Yin Shiya received a report from the Criminal Department this morning, saying that there was a murder in Nuan Yu Lou, and it was the Oiran of Nuan Yu Lou who died."

"Why did the Criminal Department report the case to the Hidden World?"

Wei Xu replied to Mu Yuanjing's words: "At the beginning, when the Nuan Yulou life case occurred, the criminal department was responsible for the case, but with the increase in the number of people, the criminal department felt that the matter was not simple, so it was reported to us. ”

Mu Yuanjing frowned slightly, "How many people have died?" ”

Wei Xu's voice sank, "The one I found this morning is the eighth." ”

The identity of the man in black has not yet been clarified, so Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo are vigilant about all the cases taken over by Yin Shiya, and it cannot be ruled out that the man in black did it behind his back.

Without Su Qingmo opening his mouth, Mu Yuanjing said to her: "You go and change into men's clothes, and let's go to Nuanyulou together." ”

In the gap between Su Qingmo's departure, Mu Yuanjing also returned to the room to change his clothes, and soon after, Su Qingmo, who was dressed in men's clothes, followed Mu Yuanjing out of the palace, driven by Wei Xu, and the carriage went all the way to the direction of Nuanyulou.

On the way to the car, Wei Xu whispered to the people in the car about the general situation when the body was found.

The body was found at the end of the Tatsuki period, when there were more pedestrians on the street, and someone suddenly rushed out of the Nuan Yu Building, shouting 'Kill someone', and everyone passing by heard it, so the news could not be hidden.

The hidden guards were tightly guarded around the Nuan Yu Building, and the momentum of the slaughter forced the people who originally wanted to watch to disperse quickly.

Wei Xu, who was driving the carriage, jumped out of the carriage first, followed by Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo, and the bustard's mother from Nuan Yulou walked out of it, and there was no frivolity on her face, and she said to the three of them: "I've seen all the adults." ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't speak, Wei Xu said: "You wait here first, and if there is a place that needs to be questioned, I will come to look for you." ”

Mother Bustard silently stepped aside to make way for the three of them.

Wei Xu walked in the front to guide Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo, and the three of them went up to the second floor and came to a room with a wide open door.

The layout in the room is very exquisite, and the utensils are all really good things, Fang Mubei is standing on the bed, holding his arms and thinking deeply.

Mu Yuanjing took two steps forward and looked at the corpse on the bed, there was no trace of blood on the floor or even on the furniture in the room, and all the blood of the deceased was splashed on the bed.

Mu Yuanjing asked Fang Mubei about the cause of death of the deceased, and Fang Mubei replied: "Back to the prince, the deceased was suddenly cut off and killed by someone in a deep sleep, and it can be seen from the deceased's physical state and the relaxation of his fingers that the deceased was killed by a blow, and there was no struggle during the period. ”

Mu Yuanjing asked, "Has the identity of the deceased been found out?" ”

Wei Xu replied on the side: "It has been confirmed that the identity of the deceased is the Oiran just selected by Nuan Yulou last night. ”

"By what confirmation?"

The head of the deceased is gone, so how can the identity of the Oiran be proved.

Fang Mubei lifted the fabric on the corpse's shoulder, revealing a blooming flower pattern.

"According to the bustard's mother, when each Oiran of Nuan Yulou is elected as an Oiran, he will use a special dye to smudge a flower pattern on his shoulder in public, and the pattern of each Oiran is different, and his subordinates have already confirmed it to the bustard's mother, and the pattern on the shoulder of the corpse was newly dyed last night."

After confirming the identity of the body, Mu Yuanjing thought for a while and asked, "Who found out first?" ”

"The subordinates have already inquired, and the person who found the deceased is the person who bought the first night of the Oiran last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that the person was dead in bed, and he was so frightened that he rushed out without clothes."

After Wei Xu finished speaking, he asked, "Does the prince want to call him?" ”

"No need, go and bring the bustard's mother downstairs to the next room, Fang Mubei, you continue to stay here and see if you can find anything on the corpse."

Wei Xu was ordered to leave, Fang Mubei continued his movements, and Mu Yuanjing walked into the next room with Su Qingmo.

It didn't take long for the bustard's mother to be brought up, and she was still that calm and composed.

Mu Yuanjing looked at her, "This king heard that seven people had died before Nuan Yulou?" ”

After hearing the self-proclaimed name of the person opposite, the bustard's mother changed her previous name with great discernment.

"Back to the prince, you are right."

Mu Yuanjing then asked, "What is the identity of the deceased?" ”

Bustard's mother glanced at Mu Yuanjing, she didn't believe that the other party didn't know the identities of the seven deceased before, but she could only reply at the moment: "The dead are all the Oiran in our building." ”

Mu Yuanjing's face was slightly cold, "Since you know that you will be killed if you choose an Oiran, why do you still insist on it?" ”

Mother Bustard didn't speak, letting Mu Yuanjing's sharp eyes hit her.

When everyone in the house was silent, Fang Mubei ran in from outside and said hurriedly: "The prince is not good, the body is gone." ”
