Back at home, Nangong Kai looked preoccupied and walked slowly towards the garden at home. Suddenly, Nangong Kai was pulled from behind, and then he woke up.

"Third brother, what made you like this, if it weren't for the second brother to stop you, you would have fallen into the water and become a soup chicken." Nangong Yue quipped.

"Second brother, I'm ......, the emperor asked me to investigate the case of the harem maid being stripped of her face." Nangong Kai said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue smiled and punched Nangong Kai's shoulder and said, "This is a good thing, it shows that the emperor trusts you very much, are you worried that this case will not be easy to solve?" ”

"No, I'm afraid of running into her."

"She?" Immediately, Nangong Yue understood that she was the queen mother in Nangong Kai's mouth. It's really strange and pitiful to think about his third brother, who has been unrequited for so long, and the other party still doesn't know at all. What a silly boy, it seems that this amorous and single-minded seems to be the nature of Ning Wangfu, his father and mother are very affectionate, although there are also side concubines, and daughters from the concubines, but they are indifferent to those side concubines.

"Third brother, second brother has told you many times, she is the queen's mother, always will be, and now she is pregnant with the emperor's child, you still forget her." Nangong Yue said with some distress.

His younger brother has never said that he is very interested in any woman, but this is the only time he is tempted, and he likes someone who shouldn't be liked.

"Second brother, I know this, but I just can't control my heart." Nangong Kai said helplessly.

"Let's go, go to the courtyard of the second brother, the second brother will drink with you, and after you wake up, you will go to the palace to do things." Nangong Yue said with a light smile.

Hearing this, Nangong Kai looked at his second brother, don't look at him usually he always looks like a hanger, sometimes what he says is really reasonable.

Since the beloved woman has become someone else's wife, it is not a kind of love for him to guard silently. What loves someone may be to let go when it's time to let go.

Thinking of this, Nangong Kai's heart suddenly became much clearer, and he walked into Jinmoxuan with Nangong Yue. The two sang about wine, and it wasn't until late at night that Nangong Yue returned to his room with the help of the servant.

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Kai opened his eyes, looked at the painting on the wall of his room, shook his head helplessly, and muttered: "Since we can't be together, then I will silently protect your safety." ”

In Fengluan Palace, Chu Lixue was having breakfast with Xiyue, looking at Xiyue's gobbling up, Chu Lixue couldn't help but sneer, "You girl, I never knew you were so true to you." ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, what kind of true temperament, I treat breakfast as Jiang Tian's bastard boy, and eating buns is regarded as biting him, so that I can relieve my hatred." Xiyue had a bun in her mouth and said vaguely.

Hearing this, Wanyue chuckled, "Lord Xiyue, if you treat this bun as Jiang Gongzi, then the slave maid will have to change the staple food, lest you eat it and get more angry." ”

"Okay, you are a waning moon, you dare to make fun of the county lord, beware of the county lord punishing you."

"Okay, okay, slave and maid are scared, okay? Since Jiang Gongzi has made you angry, the more angry you are, the more you care, as long as you don't care, Jiang Gongzi will be in a hurry. Wanyue said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, Wanyue, you say, you know all this as an unmarried girl, why am I so stupid? Okay, I'll listen to you, ignore it, and see what he does! After finishing speaking, Xiyue still picked up a bun and bit it hard.

At this moment, Ning Xiang took Nangong Kai outside the door to wait for the audience, Chu Lixue looked at Nangong Kai wearing a robe made of ice blue silk with elegant bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, and the ink hair was fixed with a mutton fat hosta, highlighting the extraordinary figure of a gorgeous and noble son.

"Third brother, why are you here?" Xiyue shouted with a smile.

"Wechen see the queen mother."

"Nangong Kai, don't be polite, everyone is a family. Condense incense and serve tea to the third son. Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

"Third brother, did you come to the palace to see me?" Xiyue said with a wink.

"Yes, my father was afraid that you would cause trouble in the palace, so I let me come into the palace to see you."

"What, where did I get into trouble, I've been staying in Fengluan Palace, and I've not gone anywhere." Xiyue pouted.

"Really? Are you going to stay in the palace forever? Nangong Kai said with a smile.

"Hmph, Jiang Tian, that bastard boy, if he doesn't come to apologize to me, then I'll stay in the palace and never go back." Xi Yue gambled.

"Xiyue, the queen mother is pregnant, you have to accompany the mother well, don't cause trouble, you know?"

"I know, and, I heard that there is a female ghost in the palace who peels people's faces, and I must stay here to protect the imperial sister-in-law."

"Well, you have to be careful yourself." Nangong Kai said softly. After finishing speaking, Nangong Kai took a step out of Fengluan Palace. When he came to the Imperial Garden, Nangong Kai saw several concubines sitting in the pavilion chatting. And the topic that everyone talked about was nothing more than what had happened in the palace in the past few days.

"Ding Shuyi, I heard that of the two palace maids who died, one of them is still Ling Er in your palace." Meng Meiren said nervously.

"Yes, I don't know why the murderer chose her, she is very careful and prudent, since Ling'er's accident, there is no such caring person around me." Ding Ruolan said helplessly.

None of their new concubines entered the palace from their own family to enter the palace, and all the candidates around them were assigned by the Shanggong Bureau's respectful room.

In the strange deep palace, it is not easy to have a caring maid, a long life, they can not leave the palace at will, the worries in their hearts can only be solved with the palace maids, and finally rest assured that they are familiar with a person, and suddenly this person leaves again, it is indeed difficult to accept.

"Ding Shuyi, don't be too sad, as long as the murderer is caught, Ling Er's spirit in the sky can also be comforted." Meng Meiren said softly.

"Hmph, it's just that two palace maids died, and the emperor will definitely not track it down. , Maybe they will shield the murderer, Qi Lin pouted.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Qi Lin in unison, hoping to get the answer they wanted from her. "Qi Meiren, do you know something?" Xu Fei raised his eyebrows and said.

"No, how would I know?" Qi Lin dodged.

Qi Lin's answer was naturally unsatisfactory to everyone, this was originally Qi Lin's original intention, she just wanted to make those women interested in this issue, so that she could stand out among so many women.

Moreover, her method really worked, "Actually, I just heard about it, and I don't know if it's true." Qi Lin said mysteriously.

"Oh, don't hide it, just tell me what you know, don't hang people's appetites." Xu Fei said unhappily.

"Okay, I'll just say it, but don't spread the word and say it's what I said."

"Well, we're not going to talk about it."

"yes, yes."

"I heard that there is a kind of witchcraft in this world, that is, it can change people's faces, so ah, those two palace maids didn't have a face when they died." Qi Lin said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, skinning witchcraft, how terrible this is, they don't want to be one of them.

"Skinning witchcraft? Really? Xu Fei said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, I can assure you, because I've heard that pregnant women get weird and peel off people's skins just to keep themselves beautiful."

Hearing Qi Lin say this, Shi Jiao glanced at her and said: "Qi Lin, do you know that you are slandering the queen, and the only one in this harem who is pregnant is the queen's mother, you better stop talking nonsense." ”

"Hehe, Shi Baolin, I know that you are now serving the queen and being a dog by her side, but you must also know that I am a beauty, you are Baolin, and your position is above you."

"So what? But it's only half a level higher, and besides, the queen's mother is not something you can slander at will, the queen's beauty is well known, where does she need to peel people's faces, even if someone peels other people's faces to maintain their appearance, that person will only be you. Shi Jiao said unceremoniously.

Everyone listened to the quarrel between the two of them, and it was right to think about it, the queen's appearance had not changed much from beginning to end, but since the queen was pregnant, it has added more flavor.

Qi Lin saw that everyone didn't believe her words, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, originally this cheeky thing was only known when she overheard the conversation between Hanjiang and Wanyue at the door of the imperial pharmacy, at that time, for the first time, she thought that it was Concubine De who peeled people's faces, but she was already a person who was Concubine De, so naturally she couldn't tell Concubine De at this time, otherwise, Concubine De would not hesitate to kill people.

What's more, if she wants to climb up, she also needs the help of Concubine De, and the biggest obstacle for her to climb online is the queen, if she can push all this face-peeling thing down on the queen's body, if she can successfully kill the queen, Concubine De will definitely trust herself more.

At that time, if the queen is really dead, she will find a suitable opportunity to let the emperor know that all this was done by Concubine De, and the emperor will definitely kill Concubine De to avenge the queen.

Under the double blow of pain and self-blame, the emperor will definitely need someone to comfort her, and she can take this opportunity to fly on the branch and capture the Sacred Heart.

"Okay, in my opinion, everyone will disperse, it's not appropriate to talk about these things here, if you want to talk, just talk, I won't accompany you." After finishing speaking, Xu Fei got up and walked out of the pavilion.

"This woman is really a scourge, she shouldn't have been let go in the first place." Han Jiang looked at Qi Lin's back and gritted his teeth.
