Bo Liuzhi glanced out of the corner of his eyes, his heartbeat suddenly stopped for a beat, and his voice trembled, "Wait a minute!"
The eunuchs obeyed, paused, and looked towards the south.
Xiang Nan also looked puzzled.
Bo Liuzhi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned around while holding Xiang Nan's arm.
His eyes fell on the hand hanging down. It was also green and black, but there was a black mark on the back of the hand that was very familiar...a leaping eagle.
The corners of her eyes twitched, and her eyes wandered upwards. Looking at the clothes, she saw that she was a woman, and the clothes, color and style were very familiar. Although her body shape and appearance had almost changed, judging from the eagle and clothes alone,
, she can almost tell who it is...Zheng Meiren, she is...Zheng Meiren!
"Hiss~" Xiang Nan glanced at the arm she held in pain. Her fingers on his arms were a little white due to the exertion, and her fingertips were deeply embedded in him, not knowing whether it was because of fear or shock.
It got into his clothes and pinched his flesh.
Bo Liuzhi was filled with disbelief at this moment, even a little horrified.
If she remembered correctly, there was only one day between that day and that day... but the meeting was in such a situation, which made her not frightened.
After looking at the hand for the last time, Bo Liuzhi hurriedly looked away, his face turned pale, and he looked at the palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides and asked, "What's going on? Why did Zheng Meiren's body appear here?"
Zheng Meiren?!
As soon as she said this, there was a burst of sighs around her.
Xiang Nan was also startled and turned his eyes to the corpse.
He never expected that this corpse whose true face could not be identified turned out to be Zheng Meiren!
"Going back to the girl, the slaves have been cleaning up and preparing breakfast in the backyard of the palace. Just now, the slave and several other sisters brought breakfast to the girl. After coming out, they accidentally saw a man hanging on the tree... The other girls
The maids don't know." One of the palace maids replied with a trembling voice. She must have been frightened.
Bo Liuzhi glanced at her, and finally looked at the cang tree. The white silk was still firmly resting on it, but it hurt her eyes. She lowered her eyes and waved to the eunuchs, "You guys
Send Beauty Zheng to her palace and send someone to inform...the Emperor."
He let go of Xiang Nan's hand and walked into the house. After walking a few steps, he stopped and said, "Take the white silk from the tree..."
"No, girl!" Xiang Nan said hurriedly, walking to her side, "There were monks who performed rituals before and said that this white silk thread cannot be taken. They said that it is the destination of the dead souls. If it is taken, the dead souls will have nowhere to go.
, it will cause trouble in the harem..."
Bo Liuzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, what a rotten reason!
He tilted his head and looked at the white silk again, and then remembered the woman in white he saw the night before, and frowned, "The destination of the undead... is interesting!"
He curled his lips, said nothing more, and walked towards the house.
Xiang Nan glanced at the white silk cord thoughtfully, and then said to everyone, "Go do what you need to do, don't stand around and cause trouble!"
The group of palace maids and eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you, then reluctantly dispersed.
Who doesn’t know that the Hunlan Palace is haunted? Most of the girls who were first notified to come to serve the Hunlan Palace were unwilling. However, on the second day after arriving, this happened, and everyone was extremely worried.
.
When Bo Liuzhi entered the room, he sat down at the table and started to feel dazed. Facing the food on the table, he really couldn't bring up his appetite, so he asked Xiang Nan to leave.
Xiang Nan was also waiting behind her with a worried look on his face.
After a while, Bo Liuzhi turned to look at him, "Xiang Nan, has there been anything unusual about Zheng Meiren these past two days?"
Xiang Nan was stunned and replied, "I don't know..." he paused, "but yesterday there were some rumors about Zheng Meiren in the palace..."
Bo Liuzhi raised his eyebrows and pointed to the stool beside him, "Sit down and talk to me."
Xiang Nan immediately shook his head, "Just stand here, slave." He continued, "Zheng Meiren's natal family is a famous herbal medicine family in Dongling City. It is said that Zheng Meiren and her hired doctor had already been in love before entering the palace. Somehow later,
Zheng Meiren entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine..."
He glanced at her and said, "It is rumored that Zheng Meiren has been in contact with the doctor for four years since she entered the palace. Some even said that Zheng Meiren had already had a secret relationship with the doctor before entering the palace, and she also frequently communicated with him after entering the palace.
That doctor had an affair..."
"As soon as the rumor came out, Concubine Hua invited Zheng Meiren to have tea with her..." He added, "Just yesterday. It is said that Zheng Meiren came out of Huacui Palace with an extremely ugly face, blood on her body, and murmured all the way
Whatever dies, everything dies..."
Huacui Palace, Hua Guifei?!
Bo Liuzhi shook hands slightly, "What do you think is the reason why Zheng Meiren died in Hunlan Palace?"
Not wanting her to ask such a question, Xiang Nan was startled and immediately regained his composure, "Girl, don't worry too much. The former Hunlan Palace was the Shenxing Department. Although the Shenxing Department is gone, many palace maids, eunuchs, and even concubines have done wrong.
If you are sentenced to death, or if you know that your sin is serious and unforgivable, you will choose to execute it in Hunlan Palace or commit suicide yourself."
"So, you think that Zheng Meiren committed suicide because someone discovered her relationship with her old sweetheart before she entered the palace, right?"
Without waiting for Xiang Nan to answer, Bo Liuzhi said to himself, "Okay, I understand. I suddenly have a headache. I'll go in and rest for a while. You can go out and remember to close the door..."
"..." Xiang Nan was stunned, then lowered his head, "Yes, girl."
So he bowed and exited the door, and walked sideways out of the hall.
Watching his shadow walking through the door, Bo Liuzhi sat motionless, but the hands on his knees kept shaking.
——————————————————————————————————————————
Yuxiu Palace.
Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Rui, Nan Jue, and Zhen Xiang stayed in the palace until noon and ordered that no one should disturb them during this period.
After the discussion, the hall fell into silence for a while, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Tuoba Yu habitually touched the blood jade on his waist with his fingertips, frowned slightly, and stared at the memorial in front of the table with his deep phoenix eyes. After a while, he said calmly, "Brother Ninth, where is Lian Qing now?"
"Always in Juexian Tower." Tuoba Rui replied.
"Yes." Tuoba Yu closed his eyes slightly and curled his lips lazily, "Zhen Xiang, sent someone to clean up the Xixia Palace."
Zhen Xiang was startled and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Tuoba Rui and Nan Jue looked at each other, confused.
Tuoba Yu raised the corners of his lips, stretched one foot directly onto the table, crossed it, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, like a lazy leopard squinting his eyes.
"Brother Ninth, do you think Lian Qing will be satisfied with my arrangement?"
Tuoba Rui was stunned on the spot, and suddenly realized, "The emperor wants to let Lian Qing live in Xixia Palace..." Ning Mei said, "Lian Qing already had his own palace before leaving the palace, why not let him live in the palace directly?
's palace?"
Nan Jue and Zhen Xiang also looked at him with doubts on their faces.
A fox-like smile appeared on Tuoba Yu's lips, "Don't you find it interesting that Chaohui Hall and Xixia Hall sit next to each other?"
Tuoba Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhaohui Palace and Xixia Palace were next to each other... He twitched his mouth and glanced at a certain emperor with a creepy smile. He had to admit that in terms of evil, he really couldn't compare to him!
Chaohui Palace is now Lord Loulan's sleeping quarters, but Lord Loulan is Lian Qing's nightmare.
Lian Qing had seen almost all the tricks Lord Lou Lan used against Tuoba Yu back then.
Lian Qing, who was the same age as Tuoba Yu, was a troublemaker in a pair of trousers. The two attended the lectures of the miracle doctor Yun Feng together, and Lian Qing helped Tuoba Yu do many things that needed to be done.
Compared to Tuoba Yu, Lian Qing would definitely suffer no less at the hands of Lord Loulan.
For a long time, Lian Qing has been like a mouse meeting a cat to Lord Loulan, hiding as far as he can.
But a certain emperor allowed the two of them to live next to each other. In addition to having fun, he probably also wanted to use Lord Loulan to see him and suppress him... I have to say, this move is quite... ruthless!
Lian Qing suddenly felt some sympathy. Whether it was for Loulan Jun or Tuoba Yu, he seemed to be just being played with. He didn't know if he would regret his decision to return to the palace knowing that he was about to live next to Loulan Jun.
.
Nan Jue and Zhen Xiang had followed Tuoba Yu since they were young, and they could understand what he said just by running it through their heads.
Seeing that everyone understood, Tuoba Yu suddenly opened his eyes, put down his legs, stood up, and walked out of the palace, "Follow me to Shouyang Palace and take a look."
Zhen Xiang hurriedly rushed forward and opened the palace door. As soon as he opened the palace door, he saw an unfamiliar little eunuch kneeling down and said, "I have something important to report to the emperor. Please pass it on to Eunuch Zhen."
Zhen Xiang frowned, and just as he was about to open his mouth to accuse, he saw a bright yellow step coming to his side from the corner of his eye, so he took two steps back and stood behind him.
Tuoba Yu looked at the people on the ground and asked casually, "Why are you so panicked?"
The eunuch lowered his head, unaware that the person speaking to him was the current Holy One. He answered truthfully, "Zheng Meiren... is gone."
Zheng Meiren?!
Tuoba Yu frowned slightly, "It's gone? Why can't it be done?"
"This morning someone discovered that Beauty Zheng had hanged herself in the Hunlan Palace. Now, Beauty Zheng's body has been placed in her Weifu Palace."
Soul Orchid Palace!
The phoenix eyes suddenly turned sharp, and she sneered, this beauty Zheng died at the right time.
He glanced at the people on the ground coldly and said, "Pass on my instructions and give him a generous burial!"
I……
The little eunuch was immediately frightened to death and said in a trembling voice, "Yes!"
After that, he stumbled away.
Tuoba Yu flicked his wide sleeves and turned back to the hall.
Tuoba Rui and others saw this and hurriedly turned back.
Just as Tuoba Yu was about to sit down in this room, someone came from outside the hall to report that it was Song Shilian, the young minister of Dali Temple, who wanted to see him.
Tuoba Yu's lips turned cold, "Xuan!"
Tuoba Rui and Nan Jue stood on both sides. Song Shilian walked in wearing official uniform, lifted up his clothes and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Song Shilian, is here to see you."
"Get up!" Tuoba Yu's voice was a little deep. He was thinking about someone and was really afraid that she would be frightened.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Shilian stood up and said directly without any hesitation, "Zheng Meiren's natal family disappeared from all the medicine shops in Dongling City overnight... The Zheng family also seemed to have never appeared in Dongling City.
, and no one can be found.”
Except for Tuoba Yu, everyone else was shocked.
The Zheng family gradually prospered six years ago, and in just two years it became the largest medicinal family in Dongling City. The reason why it is called a family is that the Zheng family has been practicing medicine for generations. Before, it was outside Dongling.
Shang Town was later moved to Dongling City, but no one has studied it in detail.
The most important thing is that it is really strange that such a large property of the Zheng family disappears just as it is said to be gone.
Moreover, the Zheng family has disappeared, and the Zheng beauty has also disappeared suddenly. Is it a coincidence?!
Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes, his long eyelashes covering up some of the cold light in his eyes.
On the night of the Royal Grandma's birthday party, Zheng Meiren's unusual behavior, Qi Mujing's uncharacteristic anxiety, and his chance encounter with Bo Liuzhi really made him doubt the connection.
So he ordered Song Shilian to focus on the investigation. Song Shilian was the person next to him. He was upright, alert and courageous. He was worthy of the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he became suspicious, the Zheng family would disappear, and Zheng Meiren would die simply...
I snorted coldly in my heart, this Qi Mujing is really something to look down upon!
————————————————————————————————————————
As soon as Xiang Nan stepped into the Hunlan Palace, he saw a scene that shocked him. His eyes almost jumped out of his head, and he was so stunned that he couldn't react for a moment.
Bo Liuzhi stood on a small stool under the cang tree, standing on tiptoes, raising his neck, and grabbing the white silk hanging on the trunk of the cang tree with both hands. His whole body was trembling as if it would fall down the next moment.
Xiang Nan suddenly regained consciousness with a shiver, then took a big breath, twitching the corners of his eyes in fear, and then quickly helped the eunuch Mao, ran up as fast as he could in his life, hugged Bo Liuzhi's thigh,
She said in a trembling voice, "No, girl, you are such a good person, why do you think of committing suicide..."
When you die, how many people will be buried with you? Have you forgotten it?!
Bo Liuzhi was frightened by his sudden hug. She looked at him calmly and twitched the corner of her mouth, "There is no way I am committing suicide. I just want to take off this white silk!!!"
"Girl, you come down first, come down first and then we talk!" His own life was at stake, and Xiang Nan didn't dare to take it lightly.
Bo Liuzhi frowned. Seeing him like this, he was really scared, so he sighed, "Let me go first, and I'll come down."
Xiang Nan's face turned red with embarrassment, and he let go carefully, but did not take his hands far away, for fear that she would do something.
Bo Liuzhi jumped down and looked up at Bai Ling. It must have been hanging up for a long time. Bai Ling was quite thick and the knot was very tight. She couldn't untie it even after a long time.
Glancing at Xiangnan who was wiping his forehead with his sleeves, his eyelids twitched again, "Xiangnan, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time..."
Xiang Nan paused and slowly lowered his hand. He saw her slightly from the corner of his eyes, but he saw that she didn't look at him. She didn't even cast her eyes on him. She seemed to be asking casually.
He let out a breath and replied, "I saw that the girl was resting, so I went out for a walk."
"Oh." Bo Liuzhi pursed his lips and nodded, pointing to the white silk on the tree, "Go up and get it off. I'm so scared to see it hanging on it every day!"
Xiang Nan shook his head immediately like before, "No, girl, I can't take this white silk. If I take it, big trouble will happen."
"What big thing can happen? Do you believe that the soul will rest on this white silk?" Bo Liuzhi sneered.
Xiang Nan was asked by her, but she did not compromise, "Girl, this white silk is indeed unavailable, cannot be taken away!"
Bo Liuzhi bit his lip, "Then I must get it off?"
"..." Xiang Nan was speechless.
If she really insists on taking it, what can he do?! She is the master!
The result of the matter was that Bai Ling took it off and had someone throw it into the palace's big furnace for burning rubbish.
At night.
Bo Liuzhi lay on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, his eyebrows furrowed, his face covered with sweat, and his fists clenched tightly hanging down by his sides.
In the dream, in the dark night, someone was chasing her. She couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, she could only know that he was running desperately. She seemed to be teasing her. He could clearly catch up with her, but he always followed behind her.
She was extremely scared, exhausted, and hungry. She didn't know how long she had been running, and the broken laughter of the man chasing her could be heard in her ears. It was sharp and terrifying, as if it was about to burst into her heart.
Her body trembled suddenly, and a pair of hands covered with green and black put them on her shoulders. Her hands were so cold that they were as cold as bone marrow. She could not move. She was so frightened that she did not dare to breathe too loudly. Her whole body was trembling.
Her cheek, as cold as ice, rubbed against her ear, what was she saying...
She heard clearly, heard clearly... She asked her to accompany her, she said it was so cold and lonely, they bullied her because she was new here, they all bullied her, they must accompany her...
She was so frightened that she stopped breathing, her mouth was open, her whole body was shaking, and she didn't dare to move.
She felt her hands gradually leave her shoulders, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, a piece of white silk suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and instantly tightened her neck...
She clenched her hands and wanted to shout for help, but she couldn't. Bai Ling held her too tightly and she couldn't speak...
"Zhi Zhi, wake up, Zhi Zhi..." The voice was full of worry.
Then, his straightened body touched a touch of warmth. Bo Liuzhi grabbed the touch of warmth and opened his eyes suddenly.
