At three o'clock, under the setting sun, a purple smoke condensed and did not disperse, reaching the sky, but in the high sky, under the breeze, it slowly disappeared into invisibility.

Although Zhou Jin was sitting quietly in the palace, her mind was already at the imperial mausoleum, she really wanted to know what was recorded in the prince's brother's handbook, was it really as Su Shi said, what was recorded was the fate of Daqian?

She thought of Zhou Xuan's love and pity for her.

Originally, it was natural for the eldest brother to love and pity the little sister, so although Zhou Jin felt that Zhou Xuan cared for him very much since he was a child, he also felt that it was very ordinary.

But now it seems that the prince's brother seems to know his fate, which is why he loves himself so much.

What is your destiny? Why does the prince's brother say that it is the best choice for him to be close to him?

Zhou Jin suddenly had an inexplicable fear, and the more frightened she was, the more she wanted to know the ending.

Now what she fears most is the loss of the most important person in her heart in her own destiny.

Zhou Jin was unsettled, and when he was thinking for a while, Xiaolan hurriedly walked in, followed by a soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

As soon as the soldier saw Zhou Jin, he immediately saluted and said, "Guan Ming has seen Her Royal Highness the princess. ”

Zhou Jin immediately gathered his thoughts and said, "Captain Guan, please get up, you don't need to be polite." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Guan Ming stood tall and hurriedly replied: "Her Royal Highness the princess has already ordered the eyebrows, and at three o'clock, there is a strange smoke rising in Guangdu Temple. ”

Zhou Jin's expression was shocked, she stood up suddenly, and looked directly at Guan Ming: "Is there really a strange smoke rising?" ”

Guan Ming nodded and replied, "At the third moment of Shen Shi, a purple smoke rose from Guangdu Temple, and disappeared into the air after a while. ”

"Can there be people arranged over there in Guangdu Temple?"

Guan Ming's face looked a little embarrassed at this time: "When the humble post received His Majesty's dictation to listen to His Highness's arrangement, it was close to the time to apply, and it was only time to arrange the affairs of the palace at present, and the Guangdu Temple had not yet had time to dispatch, but now it has urgently sent someone to investigate." ”

Zhou Jin comforted: "Captain Guan is not to blame for this matter, no one would have thought that the other party would act so quickly." ”

Then she instructed: "This matter can only be investigated secretly, whether inside the palace or outside the palace, do not startle the snake, let the other party know that we have discovered their secret." ”

Guan Ming replied: "For the people who are tracking down this matter, I have told them a thousand times, and they will remember His Highness's orders." ”

"When the purple smoke rises, can there be something abnormal in the palace?"

Guan Ming shook his head: "There are not many people in the palace who find the purple smoke rising from the Guangdu Temple, even if someone sees the purple smoke rising, they just think it is novel and interesting." No abnormalities have been reported. ”

Zhou Jin thought for a while, and then asked, "When the purple smoke rises, what places can you see in the palace city?" ”

"Guangdu Temple is located in the east of the imperial city, and the height of its fireworks is not high. I have secretly tested it, and the Zhonghe Hall is facing the Guangdu Temple, with the Zhonghe Hall as the center, and a radius of two miles is the observation limit. These include Qingzhong, Lide, Shaoyang, and several places in the East Inner Courtyard. ”

Immediately, Guan obviously hesitated: "There are nearly 1,000 eunuchs, palace maids, soldiers, and miscellaneous servants in these places, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to find the person who responds in the palace for a while." ”

Zhou Jin also knew that it was difficult to investigate this matter in the palace, especially to investigate it secretly, which was even more difficult, so he had to say: "You should pay close attention to these places first, focusing on Guangdu Temple." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange for people to monitor the Guangdu Temple for twelve hours."

Zhou Jin nodded slightly, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "After the smoke rises, can there be someone outside the city gate?" ”

Guan Ming immediately replied: "After I saw the strange smoke rising, I immediately sent people to wait outside several city gates to investigate the people who left the palace after the strange smoke. Speaking of this, Guan was obviously a little embarrassed: "It's just that there is a shortage of manpower now, and I am afraid that there will be omissions." ”

Zhou Jin also knew that the incident was sudden, and Guan Ming had not yet arranged and scheduled everything, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions, so he said: "I also know that this matter is difficult to do, but the stakes are very high, and Captain Guan must do his best." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Jin instructed Xiaolan, "Bring my token." Then he looked at Guan Ming: "The manpower you lack, take my token and call it." ”

Guan Ming knew that since His Majesty had temporarily handed over the secret guard to Princess Pingle, the matter investigated by Her Royal Highness the Princess must be urgent and important, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, I will do my best to arrest the wrongdoers."

After Guan Ming left, Zhou Jin's heart couldn't calm down anymore.

When the smoke rises, it means that the other party has begun to act, but you have nothing to gain except for the smoke.

As for whether Guan Ming can find out some clues, in fact, Zhou Jin didn't have much hope. And the matter is urgent, she is worried that when Guan Ming finds out the clues, it will be a dead end.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore, and she couldn't wait to go to the General's Mansion immediately to discuss with Su Shi.

However, when Zhou Jin thought of Su, her heart seemed to become a little more settled, because in her opinion, no matter what was difficult, Su Shi seemed to be able to solve it.

So Zhou Jin sat down slowly again, quietly waiting for Guan Ming's reply.

However, at the end of the unitary time, Zhou Jin had just had dinner, and a servant girl hurriedly walked in, Xiaolan hurriedly stepped forward, and the two whispered a few words.

Xiaolan nodded, the maid retreated gently, and Xiaolan also returned to Zhou Jin's side.

"What's the matter?"

Xiaolan lowered her eyebrows and replied: "Miss Xiaolan just passed a word from the shopkeeper of Tolu, asking the princess to talk about it tomorrow, and Su Gongzi said that there is something important to discuss." ”

Zhou Jin was surprised in her heart, she couldn't imagine that when she just discovered the purple smoke here, Su Shi had something important to discuss, she frowned unconsciously, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Su Gongzi also found out about the purple smoke rising from Guangdu Temple?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lu only passed on such a sentence, and didn't say why?"

Zhou Jin also knew that Xiaolan didn't know, so he shook his head: "It's okay." Su Gongzi did things very safely, I was afraid that the transmission process would be leaked, so he didn't say it explicitly. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at the sky and said, "It's still early at this time, you accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Jin thought about it again and said, "You tell the people outside, if Captain Guan is here and I haven't come back yet, please ask Captain Guan to wait, and then immediately send someone to inform us." ”

Xiaolan immediately walked outside the hall, told Zhou Jin's instructions to the people on duty, and then returned to the hall and accompanied Zhou Jin towards the imperial garden.

After leaving the palace, after turning a few roads, the imperial garden was already close at hand, when a group of palace maids appeared on the road ahead with a tall and cold woman.
