In the imperial study, Song Jinyan was flipping through the chapters one by one, and behind him, Su Peiyuan stood respectfully.

"I heard," Song Jinyan's voice suddenly sounded: "The queen mother's palace has not been peaceful recently? ”

Su Peiyuan's heart sank, and the incident in his heart had just happened, how could the emperor's news be so well-informed. Although he was shocked in his heart, he still replied honestly: "Back to the emperor, in the Buddha Hall in the Empress Dowager's Ningci Palace in the past few days, there has indeed been some strange news. ”

"Haunted," Song Jinyan put aside the book he had just finished and turned his head to look at Su Peiyuan: "Do you think this thing is true?" ”

Su Peiyuan was stunned, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, you can't say that there is something strange and messy, and you can't say that there is, and you can't say nothing, and the slaves don't dare to say anything." ”

"Hahahaha, you can't say yes or no." There was a little more smile in Song Jinyan's eyes. Stretched out his hand again to open a piece of music, reviewed half of it, thought about it, closed the chapter, and said to Su Peiyuan: "Let the queen take a look at this matter, now that the Rong nobles are kneeling there every day, if there is really any demon, you must prepare early." ”

Su Peiyuan nodded and said yes.

Receiving Su Peiyuan's words, Kou Shu was slightly stunned, and then said: "The emperor's meaning is understood by this palace. ”

"Yes" Su Peiyuan bowed: "Since this is the case, the slave will retire." ”

When Su Peiyuan left, the ripples on the side stepped forward, leaned over and said: "Niangniang - now it is said that the Buddha Hall in the Ningci Palace is haunted, is it possible that the emperor knows about this matter?" ”

Kou Shu nodded, since the Rong nobles began to go to the Buddha Hall to punish and kneel, the Buddha Hall was burned only an empty shell, which was full of coke, and it felt weird and gloomy to stay inside, but the Queen Mother also named the Rong nobles to kneel at night. For a while, there was haunted news.

Originally, Kou Shu only thought that it was an excuse made by Rong Guiren to kneel in order to avoid punishment, and he didn't want the matter to get bigger and bigger, but now Song Jinyan knew about it.

"Niangniang-" Seeing that Kou Shu didn't speak, Ripple fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but continue to speak: "Then let's check, the emperor won't really let us catch ghosts, right?" ”

Kou Shu lightly put down the bun in her hand that was still comparing: "What a haunted, there are no ghosts in this world at all." ”

"But—"

"It's just that the noble man himself has done too many bad things, and he feels guilty, and now the retribution is coming." Kou Shu laughed.

"Retribution?" Ripple frowned: "Niangniang, you mean that the ghosts and gods punish you?" ”

"Ripples, why don't you understand," the mandarin duck on the side walked in with a tray and walked in: "Niangniang is saying that someone is manipulating all this after the mother." ”

Kou Shu raised her head in approval, but saw another person walking out from behind the mandarin duck, and when she saw Kou Shu, the person who came immediately kowtowed: "Queen Mother, the slave is back." ”

Looking at Yuan Yun up and down, Kou Shu's heart was full of mixed feelings, and she nodded: "It's good to come back, what about Yuan Ming?" ”

"My brother is still dealing with some things later, I'll come back first." Yuan Yun replied.

Kou Shu nodded, waved her hand to let the mandarin ducks and ripples go down, and instead grabbed Yuan Yun's hand, there seemed to be crystal tears flashing in her eyes: "After many days, there has been no news of you and your brother, I am so worried." ”

Yuan Yun lowered his head, and said in a choked voice: "Niangniang-"

"But it's good that you come back safely," Kou Shu nodded, "How did you check the matter?" ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, she hurriedly put away her tears, hugged her fists and said: "Back to my mother's words, the slave maid and my brother found out that the foreign master behind the blood alliance is Lan Haoke. ”

"Lan Haoke?" Kou Shu frowned.

"That's right," Yuan Yun continued, "In order to prevent being discovered, the slave maid and elder brother used Yuan Song's help to sneak into the Blood Pavilion together, and the rules in the Blood Pavilion were extremely strict, and neither the slave maid nor the elder brother found the slightest opportunity to reveal the news. It's to make the mother worried. ”

Yuan Yun exhaled a little and continued: "The slave maid and the elder brother have found out the various characteristics of the foreign people behind the blood alliance, plus the whereabouts of the slave maid and Lan Haoke in the palace several times, eight or nine are inseparable. However, now that Lan Haoke is no longer in Daxuan, the blood alliance is already leaderless at the moment, and if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before it falls apart. ”

Kou Shu waved his hand, although his father's death was the hand of the Blood Alliance, it must be just Lan Haoke playing tricks behind it. It's just that there is one more thing that Kou Shu can't figure out.

"Yuan Yun," Kou Shu immediately spoke, "On this trip, have you found any other suspicious people besides Lan Haoke and Lan Ruoxuan?" ”

"Others?" The mandarin duck frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Hui Niangniang, except for the people in the Blood Alliance, the slave maid has not seen any suspicious people. ”

Kou Shu shook her head: "Do you remember that this palace once said that Lan Ruoxuan disappeared for three years before she appeared in this world?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded, but his face was still confused.

"Lan Ruoxuan disappeared for three years, and as soon as she appeared, she took out the token that she had prepared to blame me three years ago," Kou Shu paused and thought: "This shows that Lan Ruoxuan was already preparing to play this game of chess many years ago. ”

"So......" Yuan Yun frowned slightly.

"There will definitely not be just one or two people plotting behind this," Kou Shu said firmly; "Besides, that day in the dungeon, Lan Ruoxuan almost told the master behind me."

"The Lord has made a man?" Yuan Yun on the side widened his eyes: "Niangniang is saying that there are other masterminds behind this?" ”

Kou Shu nodded, and then glanced at his dressing table: "Now there are many new masters in the palace, you follow the mandarin duck to get familiar with it as soon as possible, there are still some things to deal with in the palace, you don't have to come to the palace to serve in the next few days, just rest." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and exited the door. Kou Shu's expression tightened slightly, and after a little thought, he summoned the mandarin duck and went to the Buddha Pavilion together.

As soon as he raised his feet and walked three or two steps, before he reached the Buddha Pavilion, he heard a terrible scream from inside.

Kou Shu and Mandarin Duck glanced at each other, secretly saying that it was not good in their hearts, so they pulled their legs and ran to the house.

Having just experienced the water, the Buddha Pavilion exuded a strong smoky smell after burning, Kou Shu only felt a tingling pain in his throat, and the pillars were all smoked and blackened, and it looked a little more eerie and terrifying. Kou Shu looked at it and saw that Rong Guiren was holding a bowl of unknown things in his hand, his eyes were scattered, his hair was scattered, and he was scurrying around the hall barefoot.

"Rong Guiren!" Kou Shu shouted loudly: "Rong Guiren, what are you doing?" ”

But the noble man walked around the hall as if he had not heard anything, with a strange smile on his face, and he did not know what he was holding in his hand.
