This is also to maintain the emperor's face to the greatest extent.

The emperor gritted his teeth coldly, waved his hand and said, "That's it, just deal with it according to the palace rules, and don't let me see them again."

Lu Tian understood for a moment, and arched his hand: "What should the maids of Huachun Palace do?"

The emperor's face sank, and he said coldly: "If she doesn't repay her feelings, she will be punished according to the same crime, since she is dedicated to the Lord, let her go underground to accompany her master."

Lu Tianyi didn't expect that he wouldn't even let go of the palace maid, and lifted the corners of his mouth to intercede for him, but swallowed it back.

Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Lu Tianyi went to deal with Lan Guiren and others as ordered.

When I walked to the cell where Juan'er was being held, I found that it was empty.

He was shocked, and immediately said, "What about the people inside?"

The guards who were guarding the outside immediately ran over and immediately showed surprised expressions when they found the cell empty.

"Deputy Commander, we've been staying here, and we haven't seen anyone go out."

This cell is a secret prison in the palace, and there is only one exit, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fly even if they have wings in it.

But the maidservant girl named Juan'er disappeared out of thin air here.

Lu Tianyi suddenly thought of what she said when she was arresting Lan Guiren before, and hurriedly rushed to the place of execution, but when he arrived, he only saw a bloodstained guillotine, and even Lan Guiren's corpse was collected.

His eyebrows tightened, thinking of the corpseless case that he had investigated outside the palace before, the dead Chen Jingxian also turned into a pool of blood, but the person who killed her entered Zhilan Palace with her face.

"Not good!"

He exclaimed in surprise and immediately went to find Su Jiuli.

Su Jiuli was studying the Netherworld Sect with King Ling, and after hearing his report, he frowned and said, "This Juan'er is probably the second person to be replaced by the demon, and she took advantage of Lan Guiren's affair with the guards to blackmail her, so she stayed in the palace."

Lu Tianyi blamed himself: "It was a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, I thought that Lan Guiren just wanted to get away with the crime, so he spewed blood and framed people, but now that I think about it, she is probably one of the victims."

Su Jiuli nodded: "Let's go to meet the emperor together, since we are sure that the demon is in the palace, we must find a way to find him out."

The three of them entered the palace late at night and made the matter clear to the emperor.

This wave of twists and turns really made the emperor in his prime a little indigestible, his slightly weathered face instantly turned red, and his eyes were also turbulent.

"You mean that the demon of the Nether Cult is still hiding in my palace, and you have no clues?"

Su Jiuli thought for a while, and arched his hand: "The emperor is not impatient, the ministers are not without clues, and the best way now is to arrest Juan'er before the third victim appears."

Although the emperor didn't know about spells, he probably knew the demon's abilities through his understanding in the past few days.

"How do you go to find the third victim, if he kills someone, he immediately puts on the other party's human skin and mixes with the palace people, how can you see the flaw?"

King Ling lowered his eyes and said, "Father, there is a person who may have a way?"

The Emperor immediately turned his gaze to him, "Who?"

"Young Valley Master of Xiaoyao Valley, Bai Yue Xiu."

Hearing Bai Yuexiu's name, the emperor's eyes flashed, and he finally calmed down after a moment of silence, and said slowly: "Xiaoyao Valley is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and there are many talented people in the valley, if you leave it to them, you may really be able to solve this game."

When the people heard what he meant, they knew that he had agreed.

King Ling said, "Without further ado, if my father has nothing else to order, my son will retire first."

The emperor waved his hand: "Let's all go down, the matter of capturing the demons of the Nether Sect should not be delayed, and within three days, I will see the results."

"Yes."

Everyone retreated and walked out of the Qinzheng Hall quickly.

Su Jiuli said, "His Royal Highness King Ling is going to see Lord Bai Shaogu now?"

Li Moxing nodded: "You go back to rest first, and after this king consults with the Lord of Bai Shaogu, he will inform you how to act."

Su Jiuli and Lu

At nodding, I watched him leave at the palace gate.

At this time, it was late at night, and there was silence in the courtyard of Xiaoyao Valley, and the lights in the courtyard had long been extinguished, only two night guards were napping by the fire in front of the gatehouse.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the silence, waking up the napping people in an instant.

As soon as it looked like it was the carriage of King Ling's Mansion, the subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and immediately welcomed the people in.

Zhu Lu stepped down from the horse first, stepped forward and said, "Go and tell your master that my prince has something important to discuss."

Naturally, the subordinates did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly carried the lantern.

After a while, the lights in the backyard came on one after another, and the chief steward of the other courtyard came out with his servants.

"The young valley lord is already changing his clothes, please come here."

Li Moxing knew that Bai Yuexiu was an idle person, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, he was recruiting cats and teasing dogs, and even entering Beijing to be the chief judge was reluctant to cope with the emperor's order.

The group entered the inner courtyard, and after passing through the two verandahs, they finally arrived at the courtyard where Bai Yuexiu was resting.

When he entered the house, Bai Yuexiu did not change his clothes, but casually put on a robe and leaned on the couch, looking at the person who came to the door to find trouble with a displeased face.

Zhu Lu stood outside the door and didn't come in, and when Li Mo entered the house, he closed the door and guarded the door.

"In the middle of the night, you don't even sleep, that's how you Li family do this?"

Li Moxing knew that he didn't like to be troubled, so he didn't talk to him quickly, so he just walked over and sat opposite him and poured himself a cup of tea.

"The Netherworld has appeared."

With just one sentence, Bai Yuexiu's face changed, and he put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at him with slanted eyes. Chinese Net

"Are you sure it's someone from the Nether Cult? I haven't heard any news related to the Nether Sect on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, how could I suddenly come to the capital?"

Li Moxing's eyes were slightly gloomy: "Recently, strange things have happened frequently in the palace, first Gu worms hurt people, and then some concubines were fascinated by nightmares, and the Yin Yang Pavilion ghost made the judge enter the palace to investigate the matter, only to find that a nobleman's maidservant was transferred."

Bai Yuexiu looked a little impatient: "What do these things have to do with me?"

Li Moxing looked straight at him.

"Twenty years ago, it was the Nether Sect Leader Zhu Lanzhi who killed your parents, if I guessed correctly, you have been studying all kinds of Xuanmen spells all these years, just to be hated one day."

Bai Yuexiu still didn't move: "These are all your guesses, I study spells because I like it, what does it have to do with the Netherworld Sect."

Li Moxing knew that this person had always been hard-mouthed, and he was not in a hurry to argue with him, but said, "Now that the selection of the Holy Maiden is nearing the end, the people of the Netherworld Sect must have some plot when they appear at this time, and if they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Bai Yuexiu looked at him sideways: "This is your Li family's dynasty, even if the world is in chaos, what does it have to do with me?"
