Ling Lan was stunned for a moment, not because of the emperor's request, but because of the other party's attitude at this moment.

Obviously, the other party knew what she was asking for, and there was still a bit of inexplicable emotion in her secretive eyes.

Her thoughts flashed, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately agreed.

Under normal circumstances, a day may not be enough, and it takes a lot of time to check the people coming and going in this huge palace, but the appearance of Miss Qi last night made her have a little guess in her heart, and Mo Ziyu's confident appearance made her intuition not so difficult.

Seeing her hesitantly agree, a subtle smile seemed to flash in the emperor's eyes, and Ling Lan was stunned to wonder if she had seen it wrong.

"Very well, in that case, I wish you good luck."

After the other party finished speaking, he turned around and went back, his straight back gradually drifted away, and his pace was still decisive and imposing.

Ling Lan thanked him, looked at Mo Ziyu suspiciously, and saw the other party salute again, indicating that he would go down to investigate. 、

Leaving the Heart Cultivation Hall in confusion and coming outside, Ling Lan immediately grabbed Mo Ziyu and muttered that something was wrong.

Mo Ziyu pulled her backhand and continued to walk forward, down the steps: "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't you think it's strange about the attitude of the saint?" She whispered and cautiously looked around, after all, trouble comes from the mouth, and it is not good if it is heard.

Mo Ziyu pursed her lips, shook her hand, and chuckled: "Little fool, you have been targeted by the Holy Lord for helping to solve so many cases in the Criminal Department before, and you must be investigated clearly." ”

Ling Lan paused at her feet, she raised her eyes and looked over in surprise: "Then, then he knows my identity?" ”

"Don't panic, I think, the saint knows everything that happened to the Ling family." Mo Ziyu comforted softly.

Ling Lan's widening eyes gradually regained their calmness, although it was unexpected but reasonable, she was suddenly a little curious, when did the other party know?

If it was clear from the start?

The most ruthless imperial family!

In the harem, many flower beds are full of gorgeous flowers, and the warblers are singing and dancing.

In contrast, the beauties in the harem are as charming as flowers, beautiful and moving, all the way to the palace maids are also delicate and lovely, but everyone is cautious, after all, if you want to survive in this harem with a strict hierarchy and eating people without spitting out bones, you have to understand the rules.

Looking at the green bricks and tiles, the vermilion gate, the traces of time precipitated in the antique color, the food and clothing here are undoubtedly the best, even the humble maidservants are much stronger than ordinary people, but they are like birds in a golden basket, without freedom...

In the relatively remote place along the way, the flower garden was replaced by wild grass, and Ling Lan had a guess in her heart, this road must not lead to the dormitory where Concubine Xian lived, but the place where her body was stored.

After a quarter of an hour, the palace maid who led the way stopped, pointed to a place not far away, lowered her eyes and whispered: "Lord Mo, Miss Ling, the corpse of Concubine Xian is parked there. ”

Mo Ziyu nodded slightly in response.

Seeing this, the palace maid didn't say much, leaned over and took a few steps back to leave.

"Is this a cold palace?" Ling Lan wondered, in the TV series she watched in the past, as long as the harem was cold, it was so desolate and defeated.

Mo Ziyu was obviously surprised, and after a few breaths, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head: "This is Ling'an Temple, which was originally used by the Queen Mother to pray for blessings." ”

Temple?

Ling Lan blinked, her eyes full of doubt.

Mo Ziyu explained in a low voice, it turned out that the Queen Mother had a dream just after the construction of this place, and no one knew what she dreamed of, only that the Queen Mother said after waking up that it was not good to change here by the Bodhisattva's will in a dream, and then this place was deserted.

It's like a joke, the temple was abandoned just after it was built, and I don't know what kind of dream it was.

"Alright, let's go in and see what I'm talking about." Mo Ziyu turned her words around, holding her slightly cool hand and striding forward.

On the outside, it looks overgrown and barren, obviously abandoned for a long time and uncared for, but inside it is completely different, although there is no Buddha statue on it, it is clean and spotless.

In the middle of the room was a female corpse, dressed in a blue dress, with a blue face and purple lips, corpse spots all over the body, and a little dark in color.

After staring at the corpse for a few breaths, Mo Ziyu spoke: "Poisoned to death, I don't know what poison it is." ”

Ling Lan nodded slightly: "It's highly poisonous, the poison is very fast to death, by the way, can it be dissected?" ”

Mo Ziyu groaned and lowered his tone: "You test it first to see if you can make progress, it's really not good to solve it." ”

Ling Lan was very satisfied, that is to say, she suddenly understood why the corpse was parked here, probably just for her convenience.

The autopsy was examined first, there were no external injuries and no physical conflicts, the fingertips were very clean, I don't know if it was because they had been cleaned, and the clothes on the body could not see the problem, because they were all new.

"Since you know it's poisoning, you should be able to find out the cause?" She whispered.

"It was made by a personal maid, and the poison was integrated into the tea, and after the accident of Concubine Xian, the maid also committed suicide by taking poison."

Listening to the man's explanation, Ling Lan knew that Concubine Xian was definitely blind to death, and she was betrayed by the most trusted person around her.

"Still have to be dissected." She said helplessly, because she couldn't get any more clues at the moment.

Mo Ziyu was also mentally prepared and nodded silently.

knows that he is under a lot of pressure, after all, this is a concubine.

"Don't worry, I will sew it carefully and carefully, and when the time comes, I won't be found when I get dressed again."

"Okay, let's get started!" The man responded decisively, knowing that time was limited and could not be wasted.

————

In the process of dissection, all the internal organs have been eroded, and it can be seen that the poison is powerful, and from the beginning to the present, there has been no discovery, and Ling Lan can't help but feel a little anxious.

If you still don't find clues after the end, it will be bad, if the body can't find the key point, you need to re-investigate everything that happened before the accident, who you have seen, etc., that day is not enough time.

Thoughts flashed and her face gradually became solemn, if she couldn't find the murderer in a day,

Just thinking about a sudden meal in his hand, he was dissecting his stomach at this time, could it be that Concubine Cheng Xian had eaten something hard that was difficult to digest before the accident? She immediately focused all her attention on the past.

After a few breaths, the two were stunned on the spot, and then there was a burst of joy, which was simply God's help.

Ling Lan actually took out a round jade pendant from her bloody stomach, and after cleaning it a little bit, she found that it was a safety buckle, and a line of small characters was faintly visible at the edge of the hollow in the middle...

Mo Ziyu immediately reported to the saint, but he didn't expect the progress to be so fast, and the other party was very surprised, and then, he made a decree to invite the fourth prince Duan Yichen to enter the palace.
