Xiling Yue gently patted her shoulder, relaxing her mood.

Slowly, her tense and stiff body gradually softened.

Her eyes seemed to be soaked in the blur of Yu Xiling, and gradually, the pupils closed.

The slightly curly eyelashes fluttered, the water shone like morning dewdrops, and the sheen of the eyelashes spilled over the eyelashes.

I don't know when, she fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

Xi Lingyue gently picked her up and slowly placed her on the bed.

He carefully took off her embroidered shoes and moved slowly.

The warm silk quilt gently covered her body.

He lowered his head with soft eyebrows, and a kiss fell pityingly on her smooth and full forehead.

Yu'er, sleep well.

Turning, he stepped out and quietly closed the door.

In the study room of King Ning's mansion, the lights are bright. He pushed open the door and saw Shu Mingyao, Mu Qingyou, and Mu Xiaoyao coming up.

"Mingyu, is she okay now?" Shu Mingyao was the first to ask.

"She's tired and just fell asleep." Xiling Yue has a low voice and judo.

They immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time, thank you, it seems that because you are by her side, she has a much faster recovery time than before."

Mu Xiaoyao patted Xi Lingyue's shoulder gratefully.

Xiling Yue looked at them puzzled.

"Mingyu, this girl, don't look like it doesn't matter on the surface, once it comes to the people around her, she is always prone to emotional fluctuations. Once, when we were on a mission, a girl she was partnering with was killed on the spot by bandits, and she was right next to the girl. ”

When she returned, she locked herself in her room and spent seven days recovering from depression. Later, when she went on a mission, she insisted on going out alone. ”

At this point, Mu Qingyou paused.

"In fact, she was worried that a second partner would die in front of her, so she would rather work hard alone than need a partner to cooperate."

Xiling Yue didn't quite understand some of the words in Mu Qingyou's words, but she still understood the general meaning.

"Then you-"

"It's the same for her, and she won't allow us to interfere in times of danger. However, it seems a little difficult not to let us interfere, because everyone has curiosity, and my Su Mingyao's specialty is to investigate murders, how can I not be tempted? ”

She grinned and took out a broken strip of gauze from her sleeve and shook it in front of Xiling Yue's eyes.

"Look, this is evidence within three feet of the scene of the murder. I think judging from the strips of rags and blood stains hanging on the sharp stones, there must have been someone who stayed on the road where Lengcui Palace passed. ”

"It's just that the situation was urgent, and the other party didn't know what he saw, so he rushed into the bushes and hit the sharp rock." Shu Mingyao wrapped the evidence on a piece of white silk and handed it over to Xiling Yue's hands.

"The next thing is up to you, after all, for the palace, we people are always not as convenient as you to act."

The three of them winked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, left Xi Lingyue with a cheering and encouraging smile, and walked out of the study one after another.

Xi Lingyue held the white silk in his hand, and a bitter smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Why is it inconvenient for them to go to the palace, so how did they get the so-called evidence in his hands?

Sometimes, he wondered what kind of organization they were, and each of them was good at it.

Even in the Blazing Flame Gate, where there are many strange people, there is no one with such strange abilities.

But because of Yu'er, he was reluctant to dig deeper.

He was afraid that what he dug out would turn out that he couldn't bear it himself, so he preferred to stay where he was, they didn't say, he didn't ask.

Looking at the evidence in his hand, Xiling Yuejian's eyebrows raised slightly, and he called: "Dragon City!" ”

A black shadow, like an agile black panther, flew down on Xiling Yue's side.

"What does the prince command?"

"Send people to keep an eye on Lengcui Palace and the nearby Hengxi Mausoleum and Lengshui Palace, everyone in and out, including who they see, and what abnormal behaviors they have recently, all of them must be recorded in detail."

"Yes." Long Cheng replied expressionlessly.

"Also, send this broken Luo gauze to Wei Ziyin of the Intelligence Hall, and ask them to find out the source of this silk as soon as possible, how many clothes are cut, how many are sent to the palace, and who they are wearing on them."

Xi Lingyue handed over the broken strip of gauze wrapped in white silk in his hand to Long Cheng's hand, with a solemn expression.

"Subordinates obey." Long Cheng wrapped the things and put them in his sleeves, and the figures quickly disappeared into the night.

When the sky was white, the shopkeeper of the rich coffin shop sent two strong men to carry a pair of Nanmu coffins to King Ning's mansion.

At that hour, Shu Mingyu had already woken up, but he had not stepped out of the threshold of Mingyue Xuan for half a step.

The matter was naturally handled by Bai Qingwu of Ning Shuiju, and she instructed the subordinates in the palace to carefully carry Xiaozhu's body into the coffin.

Then she sent the girl Xiaohe next to her to take a few little girls out to buy white sails, dark coins, and burning paper.

"By the way, Xiaohe, don't forget to go to the Yunyin Temple to ask for a few scriptures, and go to the funeral hall shop to buy some dowry jewelry, sedan chairs, horses, etc., you know?" Bai Qingwu commanded softly.

"Got it, miss." Xiaohe went out with a few girls.

Bai Qingwu turned his head to Aunt Wang, who was quick with her hands and feet: "Aunt Wang, you have to go hard, go and invite a reputable feng shui gentleman to come, show Xiaozhu where feng shui is better, set a proper cemetery for her, and then ask a craftsman to carve a tombstone." ”

"Okay, I'll do it."

Aunt Wang took a step on her legs and walked in figure-eight steps.

Bai Qingwu hoped that she had not left anything behind, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was still wondering if there was anything inconsiderate.

"Oh, by the way, there are also some artists who blow and blow and beat, to be used for Xiaozhu Mourning Hall, look at my memory."

She knocked herself on the head, and then sent a clever young man, Ah Xiu, to do it.

When Mu Qingyou, Shu Mingyao, and Mu Xiaoyao came in, they watched Bai Qingwu explain Xiaozhu's future in an orderly manner, and the three of them glanced at each other and stepped forward.

"Madam Bai, Xiaozhu's matter, it's really hard for you."

Mu Qingyou smiled and looked at Bai Qingwu and said.

At the beginning, if it weren't for Su Mingyu to explain that Bai Qingwu had something else in his heart, he would just live in King Ning's Mansion and make a name.

Mu Qingyou and the others had already been on the second day of staying in King Ning's Mansion, and they instigated Su Mingyu to take a leave of absence from Xilingyue.

Bai Qingwu saw the three of them in a busy manner and smiled faintly.

"It's you. You are here to find Mingyu, it just so happens that she has stayed in Mingyue Xuan for most of the day and has not come out, I am anxious to see her, but the prince ordered to come down and not let us disturb her. But you are different from us, and the prince will definitely not stop you. ”

There was a sour feeling in her words.

Shu Mingyao patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Now for her, it's better to let her be pure and pure. I think that's what the prince meant, and we won't bother her. We came mainly to give Xiaozhu incense, hoping that she would be reincarnated better in the next life. ”

She followed Mu Qingyou into the mourning hall.

Mu Xiaoyao didn't say anything, he smiled naturally, nodded at Bai Qingwu, and said hello, then passed by her and stepped into the threshold of the mourning hall.

The three of them each lit three sticks of incense, respectfully bowed to Xiaozhu's tablet three times, and then slowly stepped out of the door and returned to Tsing Yi Building.

Bai Qingwu looked at the nine sticks of incense inserted in the incense burner, and the smoke of Xiling was rising in a curling manner, her eyes were slightly open, and the ripples continued.

Unexpectedly, Mingyu and a few of her friends also attached so much importance to the life and death of a girl, which surprised her.

After all, royalty, who cares about the death of a little girl.

But Xiaozhu got Mingyu's respect and favor, she thought, if Xiaozhu's girl knew underground, she would definitely be able to rest assured under Jiuquan.

Looking at the smoke on the mourning hall, she looked at it, as if she was a little stunned.

She wondered if she could get this rare affection if she died in the future.

"Madame White, Madame White—" When she thought she was crazy, a little servant urged her.

"Oh-what's the matter?" She woke up suddenly, her eyes gentle.

"That's right, Madame Bai, the blowing artists have been invited, please ask Madame how to arrange them." The little guy Ah Xiu asked.

Bai Qingwu thought for a while, and then said: "First arrange for them to live in the backyard, instruct the kitchen, get them some food, and when everything else is in order, then ask them to sing for Xiaozhu's soul." ”

"The minions have made a note of it, so let's arrange for them to stay." The little guy Ah Xiu rushed away.

In the study of King Ning's Mansion, Xiling Yue was listening to the news report from Long Cheng and Wei Ziyin of the Intelligence Hall.

"Back to the prince, after Xiaozhu fell into the water and died in Lengcui Palace, the little palace maid who guarded the Xiling Courtyard that night, named Rui'er, had typhoid fever and a high fever.

"The eunuch next to the Queen Mother also went to Father-in-law Laifu, and moved a pot of magnolia flowers for the Queen Mother, and the emperor sent Father-in-law Lu to Lengcui Palace to get a pot of drunken hibiscus and gave it to the frightened Concubine Niangniang some time ago. In the end, it was the father-in-law Gao next to the queen's mother who was sent to Lengcui Palace to deliver the salaries of the palace maids. Long Cheng said indifferently.

Oh? It seems that they all know that things are not so simple, and they can't imagine that even the imperial grandmother can't help but intervene.

Xiling Yue's icy purple pupils sank.

Then his gaze fell on Wei Ziyin.

Wei Ziyin replied in an orderly manner: "Back to the prince, my subordinates sent someone to investigate clearly, this batch of silk came from Yangzhou Lujia Silk Village, a total of 1,300 horses, all of which were sent to Kyoto in early May and sold in the branches in the capital. ”

Because Gonggong Lu, who procured palace supplies, took a fancy to the lightness and softness of this batch of silk, the colorful patterns, and the reasonable price, he just made summer clothes for the concubines and maids in the palace, so he bought all the 1,300 horses. This silk horse has never been shown in the market, and it has been put into the general treasury of the palace. ”
