On the way, the two told each other how they knew the whereabouts of the palace maid.

Yan Mu found out about it by accident, while Liu Yunxiang got the news from the queen.

"I also asked the Queen, but she had a very bad attitude and there was no way she could help me." Yan Mu said, looking at Liu Yunxiang, "But how could she help you?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Because I'm awesome!"

"You are indeed amazing."

"Come closer and I'll tell you." Liu Yunxiang hooked his hand at Yan Mu.

Yan Mu held his shoulders and remained motionless, looking like he "loves to talk but doesn't talk".

Liu Yunxiang curled his lips, then sat next to him, leaned on his shoulder, and told Yan Mu about recommending the third prince to the emperor to pick up the grain.

"Oh, no wonder the queen is willing to help you."

Because Liu Yunxiang did her a big favor, and of course she had her own purpose in doing so.

"To deal with Qin Feishi and Yan Mu, we can't just do our part. The Queen must also do our part. But I have to guide her and let her know who the enemy is."

"You are showing kindness on the surface, but in reality you are asking her to do something for you. You are so scheming."

"Not as good as you."

"What do I do?"

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with me?"

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "I can only use others, but you can use yourself."

"What's the meaning?"

"You will understand when you regain your memory."

When they arrived at Ziyun Temple, they asked a bhikshuni to guide them and led them into the Buddhist hall at the back where the Queen Mother's shrine is enshrined. When they entered, they found no one inside.

"Hey, is this ever-burning lamp extinguished like this?"

The nun looked around and saw no one.

"Usually at this time, she is already here chanting sutras."

Liu Yunxiang looked around and saw that not only the ever-burning lamp was out, but the Buddhist incense in the incense burner was also burned out, "Where does she live?"

The bhikshuni hurriedly led them to the west, "She lives in the Zen room next to the Buddhist hall."

When they arrived at the Zen room, the door was locked from the inside. The bhikshuni knocked several times, but no one answered.

Yan Mu asked the bhikshuni to get out of the way, and he kicked the door open. Then he saw the palace maid hanging on the beam opposite the door. Everyone was shocked. Yan Mu and the officials hurried in and took the palace maid away.

He put it down, but the body was stiff. He must have died last night.

"Amitabha! Amitabha!" the bhikshuni kept chanting.

Liu Yunxiang took a long breath, turned around and asked, "Has anyone come to see her in the past two days?"

The bhikshuni thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then has she ever been out of the mountain?"

"have!"

"when?"

"Early yesterday morning!"

At this time, Yan Mu also came over and said, "There are no other injuries on his body. He must have committed suicide."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said: "The queen asked the following and said that she has to go back to the palace every month to collect the monthly payment. This month she was two days late, and it happened that Zhou Lihuai gave ginseng pills to the people of the Marquis of Wuchang.

Day. One more thing. The Queen once sent her maid to burn paper money for the Queen Mother in the nunnery. The maid went to Feiyue's room during her lunch break and found a one hundred tael silver note under her pillow.

.”

Yan Mu's thoughts changed, "Let her replace the bottle of ginseng pills before someone gives it to her."

"It's possible."

Yan Mu asked people to search the house, but after searching through it, they found no banknotes, not even any scraps of silver.

No clues were found at the moment, so Yan Mu could only ask the officials to take the body of the palace maid back to the Ministry of Justice.

There were many pilgrims watching the fun at the gate of the mountain. Liu Yunxiang glanced at it and didn't expect to see Jiang Yunying. She was still looking for Aunt Zhou with the portrait in her hand.

Aunt Zhou came out of Ziyun Nunnery and was pushed into the woods by Murong Lingyi's people when she was going down the mountain. They planned to kill her. It was probably because of this that she came here to look for her.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and walked towards Jiang Yunying, but when passing the crowd, a woman bumped into her.

"Oh, you girl, you are walking so fast that you are going to break my old bones into pieces!"

Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw a woman who was over fifty years old, but with a strong body, dark complexion, small eyes, and a sharp mouth. She frowned, and she clearly bumped into her because she was walking too fast.

The impact caused her to lose her balance and took two steps to the side.

"It's obviously you..."

"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore!"

The woman waved her hands and ducked into the crowd.

Liu Yunxiang didn't pay attention. Just as he was about to leave, the woman called out to her again.

"Hey, let me ask you, what happened in this nunnery? Why don't you let people in?"

This woman was really rude, so Liu Yunxiang replied lightly: "There was a murder."

"Dead?"

"Um."

"nun?"

Before Liu Yunxiang could answer, a spectator nearby said, "She's not a nun. I heard she's a maid in the palace."

The woman was stunned for a moment, "Palace... maid?"

"It's said to be a wake-up call for the Queen Mother."

The woman's eyes widened, and she burrowed in as if she was frightened. But after she got a little deeper, she stepped back, then turned around and ran down the mountain without saying a word.

Liu Yunxiang frowned at the woman's back as she hurriedly ran down, feeling that she was a little strange.

"Madam, have you seen the person in this portrait?"

Liu Yunxiang looked away and saw Jiang Yunying standing in front of her, holding the portrait in her hand.

She smiled and said, "You asked me before in the city."

Jiang Yunying said hurriedly and embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I asked too many people, so I forgot about it."

"fine."

"Uh, are you alone?"

"ah?"

"Isn't she your cousin-in-law? What about your cousin?"

Jiang Yunying pointed down, "My cousin is in the pavilion, and there are many people there."

"Then please, Miss Jiang, please take me there. I have something to say to your cousin in person."

Jiang Yunying was stunned for a moment, "How did you know my surname is Jiang?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I also saw you that day at Yuelao Temple."

Jiang Yunying blushed, "Let the girl see how ugly I am."

"No, I think you did the right thing."

Jiang Yunying smiled until her eyes were bright, but her smile soon faded, "My parents gave me a good scolding, and the family I had previously proposed to get married with also canceled the engagement. Later, I thought that I had probably done something wrong."

"Girl, the good match has not yet arrived, so don't doubt yourself."

"Yes, that's what the girl said."

Liu Yunxiang followed Jiang Yunying down the mountain, and Yan Mu also followed.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Look for Xue Changfeng."

"What do you want to do with him?"

Mentioning this Xue Changfeng, Yan Mu was speechless.

"Ask him why he is so handsome but has such a good drinking capacity. My husband got drunk and secretly kissed me at night, but falsely accused me of taking advantage of him." As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang glanced sideways at Yan Mu.

Yan Mu glared at her in shame, "I...I remember it was you who pounced on me!"

"You didn't have the habit of cheating when you were drunk before."

Yan Mu blushed, "That's probably because I'm really drunk."
