Hearing Nangong Kai say this, Chu Lixue frowned slightly, this Cloud City has always been peaceful, when did such a flower thief come out?

Originally, he wanted to ask Nangong Kai more about something, but he kept silent. When she returned to the palace, it was already the third watch, and Chu Lixue saw that the lights were on in the room, and guessed that Nangong Yihan must be waiting for her in the room.

Pushing open the door, I saw that Rean Xue and Ning Xiang were both standing aside with their heads down, while Nangong Yihan was sitting on the upper seat with a calm face. Seeing Chu Lixue coming back, she said in a deep voice, "Where did you go this big night?" ”

"Someone asked me to meet in the woods ten miles away, so I took the waning moon with me." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan frowned slightly, if someone asks to meet, she will go, I don't know if she is a pregnant woman, is it dangerous to go out? can still say it so naturally, I didn't take him as a husband to heart at all.

"Do you know that it's chaotic outside now, you just go out like this, what do you want me to do if there's something?" Nangong Yihan said angrily.

"Yihan, don't say that, the person who asked me out was Jiang Guogong, and he was the one who wrote to inform Lord Murong Zhuang that he saved my eldest brother, so I just wanted to know if he knew who harmed our Chu family." Chu Lixue said softly.

"Lixue, I know that you want the people of the Chu family to live justifiably, just leave this matter to me, and you don't want to go out of the palace easily." Nangong Yihan said softly.

The next day, it was clear that Chu Lixue was still asleep, and she heard a little palace maid whispering at the door, "Hey, Sister Chunlan, have you heard?" Early this morning, a lot of people gathered at the gate of the palace to shout grievances. ”

"I've heard, I've heard. Last night there were bloody handprints in the city again, and it was a young lady from a large family, who committed suicide by hanging herself after being insulted. ”

"Sister Chunlan, I'm really glad that we won't encounter such a thing in the palace, if this is outside, it's not going to suffer."

Hearing the two little palace maids talking about such a thing, Chu Lixue frowned slightly, this flower thief is so fierce, even Nangong Kai and they can't catch it, I really don't know where it is sacred.

Thinking about it, Chu Lixue walked out of the door, and the two little palace maids were startled when they saw this, and knelt on the ground, "Slave maid see Niangniang." ”

"I don't know exactly what you just said, can you explain it to me in detail?"

"Niangniang forgives sins, Niangniang forgives sins, the slaves and maids disturbed Niangniang's cultivation, please punish Niangniang." Chunlan and Chuntao knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Chu Lixue shook her head slightly, these two girls just wanted to ask them about the bloody handprint, and there was nothing wrong with them, so why did they still ask for mercy.

"If you want this palace to spare you, it's very simple, you can tell everything you know about things outside the palace." Chu Lixue sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and said softly.

Chun Tao and Chun Lan glanced at each other, they didn't expect that this queen mother would like to inquire about things outside the palace so much, so why didn't she send her cronies out to inquire? I have to ask the two of them, if they say something wrong, they will be punished.

"Niangniang, these things, the slave maid only heard from people, and I don't know the actual situation." Chun Tao lowered her head and said softly.

"Chun Tao, this palace remembers that the two of you are fourth-class palace maids, and they are the lowest-ranking palace maids in this palace, if you tell the most things that you know about this palace, then how about this palace promote her to be a third-class palace maid?"

When Chunlan and Chun Tao heard this, their minds also became active, in this palace, everything about the fourth-class palace maid is the worst, it can be said that she gets up earlier than a chicken, does more work than a donkey, and sleeps later than a dog. If you really become a third-class palace maid, it will be different.

Thinking of this, Chun Tao and Chun Lan scrambled to answer Chu Lixue's question. "Niangniang, the slave maid heard from the guards at the gate of the palace that last night the door of the big family surnamed Lin in the south of the city was also printed with a bloody handprint, and that night, the young lady of the Lin family was insulted by the flower thief, and Miss Lin had a strong temperament, and she committed suicide by hanging herself after waking up." Chunlan said urgently,

"Niangniang, what's more, the eldest lady of the Lin family died early, so the aunt in the house only sent someone to guard her daughter's yard, but did not send someone to guard Miss Lin's yard." Chun Tao said lightly.

Hearing this, Chu Lixue shook her head gently, where can a few families live in a nursing home, isn't it that the daughters born to those aunts can't get into the eyes of the flower thief.

"Niangniang, it seems that this flower thief is also afraid of being caught." Ning Xiang said lightly.

"No, Bengong thinks that he is not a simple character, before doing bad things, he always imprinted bloody handprints on the doors of other people's houses, and then did bad things under heavy surroundment, this guy naturally thinks that he will not be caught, and he is a self-righteous guy."

"Niangniang, if you don't catch this guy, then the girls in Cloud City will suffer." Ning Xiang worried.

"Well, it's to find a way to catch him, otherwise it won't be good to cause panic among the people." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Although it was Chu Lixue's purpose to catch this flower thief, she had a deeper thought, why did such a flower thief suddenly appear in Yuncheng, which had always been peaceful, and he was also strong in martial arts, could it be that he was sent by someone to cause civil strife in the court.

"Niangniang, you have always had the most ghost ideas, or you will find a way to catch the flower thief." As soon as the words came out, Ning Xiang knew that she had said the wrong thing, and leaned towards the side of the waning moon.

Seeing this, Wanyue sneered, "Ning Xiang, you girl, how can you say that Niang Niang has a lot of ghost ideas?" It should be said that the mother is resourceful. ”

"Well, it's still nice for us to speak in the waning moon, Ning Xiang, you have to learn more how to praise talents." Chu Lixue said with a smile.

"Mother, people just said the wrong thing for a while, mother, don't blame." Ning Xiang said with a smile.

Chun Tao and Chun Lan looked at Wanyue and Ning Xiang laughing with Chu Lixue so unscrupulously, they were really envious in their hearts, when would they be able to become their mother's personal maids, even if they were first-class palace maids.

Niangniang's personal maid only needs to be responsible for serving Niangniang's food, clothing, grooming or something, even if it is a vigil at the door. It's all in the house.

Usually, if the mother has any small snacks, she will reward them to eat, as for them, these low-level palace maids, are responsible for cleaning the yard all day long, and it is not even their turn to clean the house, let alone reward snacks.

"If I really blamed you, I would have slapped you in the mouth a long time ago." Chu Lixue said with a smile.

"Wanyue, where did the remnant snow go? Why didn't you see anyone early in the morning? ”

"Hui Niangniang, I know that you are going to ask about the bloody handprint after you get up, Rean Xue went out early in the morning to inquire, and it will be about a while, and it will be time to come back." Wanyue said respectfully.

As soon as Wanyue's voice fell, Rean Xue returned to Fengluan Palace with light skills, and Wanyue frowned slightly when she saw this, the emperor has said many times, if you do things in the palace, if you don't have to, don't use light skills, because of this matter, those stubborn ministers are not less arranged.

"Niangniang, several doors of the palace have been surrounded by the people, if the slaves and maids don't come in with light skills, I'm afraid they will have to stay outside the palace." Rean Xue said with a smile.

"What? The palace gates have been fenced? What else did you hear? Chu Lixue frowned.

A rich daughter has such a big influence? Wait a minute, Chunlan said just now that it was the eldest lady of the Lin family who had an accident? The big family surnamed Lin in this Cloud City, could it be the Lin family?

Thinking of this, Chu Lixue felt the crisis, if she couldn't catch the flower thief and kill him, and the people would complain, then the people would also lose confidence in the court.

"Rean Xue, you go outside the palace gate now, tell the people who came to cry out for grievances, and say that the emperor already knows about this matter, and has made arrangements, and he will definitely take the thief and bring him to justice."

"Yes." Remnant Xue was ordered to go out.

Let Rean Xue do this, Chu Lixue is actually not sure at all in her heart, she doesn't know what the origin of this person is, and she doesn't know if the Wanyue and Canxue around her are her opponents, in such a situation where she doesn't know her opponent, the odds of winning are not very high.

Rean Xue came to the city wall and saw that Nangong Yihan was already standing on the city wall, "Don't worry, everyone, I have already arranged for someone to arrest the flower thief, I am really sorry for what happened last night, from tonight, I will send Ouchi guards to guard everyone's home, please believe in the imperial court." ”

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter died so unjustly, my granddaughter is obedient and sensible, she is a good child, but now she has ended up like this, and I ask the emperor to avenge her." An old lady with gray hair cried.

Looking at the sad appearance of the old lady, Nangong Yihan blamed himself very much, he had always wanted to give the people a peaceful life, but such a thing happened, and what was even more infuriating was that he arranged for Nangong Kai to investigate the matter, and after so many days, there was no clue at all.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor." Rean Xue saluted respectfully.

"Rean Xue, you don't have a good time with your mother, why did you come here?" Nangong Yihan wondered.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang asked the slave to tell everyone that she would assist the emperor in catching the flower thief as soon as possible." Rean Xue said respectfully.

"yes, okay." Nangong Yihan said lightly.

As soon as the people heard this, they slowly dispersed, the emperor and the queen's cronies have already made promises, then they have hope, as long as the emperor attaches importance to them and the people, it will be their blessing.

Moreover, the queen mother has always been smart, and there will definitely be a way to catch the flower thief. It's just that if the emperor really arranges the Ouchi guards to patrol the city, then won't the safety of the palace be guaranteed?
