After the meal, everyone else retreated, and Su Yiyuan summoned the father-in-law who was in charge and said, "Father-in-law, I don't know how today's matter is investigated?"

The father-in-law immediately bowed his hand and said, "Holy Maiden, don't worry, the murderer has already been punished."

Su Yiyuan frowned: "The murderer has been punished?"

The father-in-law's face was pale: "The Holy Maiden doesn't know, after you went to the library at noon today, that little *** couldn't stand the torture and had already gritted his teeth and committed suicide!"

"What?"

Su Yiyuan was shocked and looked at him coldly: "Father-in-law means that the little eunuch committed suicide this morning?"

The father-in-law nodded proudly: "Exactly."

Su Yiyuan couldn't believe his ears.

That's a human life! This middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said it as lightly as stepping on an ant, and what did he think of human life?

She was furious and stood up with a slap on the corner of the table: "Bold!"

Seeing that the saint was angry, the father-in-law knelt on the ground with both knees and said in a panic, "The saint is angry, and the slave doesn't know what he has done wrong?"

Su Yiyuan looked at him with a heaving chest, and regretted that she had clearly seen that the little eunuch was wronged yesterday, but she didn't take action.

"That eunuch is so young and has never left the palace, where can he get such a poisonous snake? Also, he has an old snake bite on his finger, and you just have to go to his house to see if it's true or not, so why force him to death?"

The expression on the father-in-law's face did not fluctuate, and he said in a calm tone: "The Holy Maiden has only entered the palace for a short time, and I don't know about the viciousness of these little ***, and besides, the slave has already sent someone to investigate, and the residence of the little *** does have the kind of snake found in the Niangniang Palace."

With that, he glanced behind him, and immediately someone walked in with a delicate cage.

As soon as the father-in-law lifted the cloth covering the cage, a red ring snake appeared in the cage, and like the one Su Yiyuan found in the hall yesterday, the triangular head, showing sharp fangs, spat out letters at her.

Su Yiyuan was furious, although he knew that this snake was deliberately put into the eunuch's room, but there was no evidence to prove his innocence.

In this way, just one day after entering the palace, a human life passed quietly in her hands.

Waiting for the father-in-law to retreat, Su Yiyuan sat down in the hall with his head in his hands, and his heart was surging.

Zi Su and Bi Yun saw that her face was not good, so they hurriedly walked over and asked.

"Sister Su, what happened? We seem to be angry when we hear you outside."

Su Yiyuan looked up at them, and a thick self-blame flashed in his heart.

"The little eunuch died this morning."

Biyun and Zi Su looked at each other in surprise: "Dead? How did you die?"

Hearing Biyun's words, Su Yiyuan didn't know how to answer, and his mind turned around a thousand times, and he said apologetically, "He was killed by me."

Zi Su immediately understood what she meant, and reassured: "Don't blame yourself first, although you and I have not lived in the palace for a long time, you have also heard of those pickled things, if someone really wants to kill him, you can't save him."

Su Yiyuan shook his head and said with some guilt: "Or maybe I didn't show weakness to this matter this morning, if I hadn't stood idly by, maybe the result would not have been like this."

Zi Su knew that it was useless to comfort her, so she thought for a while and said, "This matter must be inseparable from Qin Sitong, do you remember what the spirit pet she used before was?"

How could Su Yiyuan not remember: "It's a snake."

"She didn't accept that you were elected as a saint, so she tried to kill you and replace you, but she didn't know how to do it, so she could only use this method to test you first."

Su Yiyuan's expression suddenly turned colder: "I'll go find her now."

Seeing that she was so impulsive, Zi Su immediately pulled her back: "You wait first, it will be the summer festival in two days, and the festival dance is halfway through, and the emperor will never allow us to delay the summer festival."

Su Yiyuan looked ahead coldly: "Don't worry, it won't delay the summer festival, it's just that she will suffer a little."

After that, he lifted the snake cage that was placed in a corner of the main hall,

Walk out.

At this moment, Qin Sitong and Murong Zhen were proud that their plan had succeeded.

"I didn't expect that little eunuch to be natural, but he really didn't need to be beaten."

Murong Zhen said disdainfully.

Qin Sitong sat next to her and breathed cross-legged, feeling the strange spiritual power running in her body.

Since cultivating according to the secret book given to her by Qin Yuetian, she found that her cultivation had indeed improved a lot, and she could also use the Ghost Tooth Knife freely.

This surprised and delighted her.

I remember the first time she saw Qin Yuetian show her the Ghost Tooth Knife, she became obsessed with that knife.

Whether it was the power of the knife or the color of the blade, it made her feel the urge to own it.

But at that time, Qin Yuetian himself couldn't fully control the ghost tooth knife, and it was impossible to hand it over to her, but he didn't expect that this time he couldn't run for the saintess, but he got this knife because of a blessing in disguise.

Murong Zhen didn't notice this at all, muttering to vent her dissatisfaction, until she turned her head and saw a cloud of black gas swirling around Qin Sitong's eyebrows, she looked at her in disbelief.

"Miss Qin, what's wrong with your forehead?"

Qin Sitong was feeling that his whole body was full of strength, and when he opened his eyes, the sight was like a blade, so sharp that Murong Zhen felt scared.

"What's wrong?"

When she restrained her breath, the black qi hovering between her eyebrows also disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of it.

Murong Zhen looked at her with some fear: "There was a black gas on your forehead just now, but now it's gone."

Qin Sitong didn't understand what she meant, and he didn't care about any black qi.

She only knew that her strength had been greatly improved, and her whole body seemed to have endless strength.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and then someone was heard: "I have seen the Holy Maiden."

As soon as Qin Sitong heard it, he knew that Su Yiyuan was coming, and immediately got up from his position.

Su Yiyuan walked through the courtyard and walked straight to the door of Murong Zhen and Qin Sitong's room.

Qin Sitong walked up to her without hesitation, and did not salute, and said directly, "Is there anything wrong with the Holy Maiden looking for me?"

Su Yiyuan looked at her coldly, "How did Miss Qin know that I was here to find you?"

Qin Sitong glanced back, and said in a sloppy tone: "There are two people living in this house, me and Miss Murong, if the Holy Maiden didn't come to find me, could it be that she came to find Miss Murong?"

Hearing this, Murong Zhen then stood up from her position and looked at her with fierce eyes.

Both of her eyes were not very friendly, as if they were not as respectful as others, and Su Yiyuan didn't care, she had long known that these two people were not convinced by her.

But she has never liked yin, and she is also haunted by the death of that little eunuch.

She Shi Shiran walked in, sat down on the empty seat at the table, and said with a serious expression, "A eunuch died in Ziwei Hall today, do you know about this?"
