"Perhaps, we can go see those Onmyojis." Nangong Baiye rubbed his chin with his fingers, a faint light appearing in his eyes.
Boss Pei curled his thin lips and said meaningfully: "Those people are all in Nangongyuan."
"I understand, I will go in through the back door." Nangong Baiye also raised the tea cup and made a toast gesture.
Boss Pei raised his head and drank the herbal tea from the cup, both of them had the same evil smile on their faces.
Nangong Baiye's so-called entering through the back door is actually "climbing the wall", which is what she is best at.
However, what makes her helpless is that since seeing off Boss Pei, His Highness Lucifer has disappeared and she doesn't know where he went.
Nangong Baiye jumped into the several-meter-high wall and landed silently. As soon as he entered, he killed a guard, changed his clothes, carried his sword in a natural manner, and merged into the walking team.
As she walked, she suddenly lowered her head.
Not for anything else, just for the sudden appearance of Nangong Rongguang.
His expression seemed a little cold, but there was also a hint of displeasure, probably because something had happened, and as he walked, there was cold wind in his sleeves.
Nangong Baiye was glad that his mind was not here, otherwise Nangong Rongguang might have recognized her because of his caution.
"Go to the backyard!" The housekeeper who was following Nangong Rongguang ordered with a stern look on his face.
Nangong Baiye changed direction along with the guard group.
"Young Master, it's right there." The butler pointed to the pond covered with white snow, his lips stained with a hint of innocence.
Nangong Baiye's intuition told her that something must have happened.
Sure enough, behind the rockery not far away, lay a woman covered in blood. Her clothes had been stained by blood so much that the original color could not be seen. If it weren't for the fact that it was winter, she would definitely have attracted many flies and mosquitoes.
Wait a moment.
Her belly…
Is this first pregnancy?
Nangong Baiye's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the case at Rosemary Tower that day when he returned to Beijing.
Looking at the deceased's abdomen, it was obvious that someone had removed the placenta in some way.
Because her whole stomach is empty...
When Nangong Baiye turned around, he took a special look at the woman's face. Different from the last case, the facial expression of the deceased this time was more ferocious, as if she had seen something that scared her before she died.
"Young Master, what should we do?" The housekeeper lowered his voice and looked very puzzled: "This woman is not from Nangongyuan. Judging from her clothes, she looks like a peasant woman on the edge of the capital."
There was no emotion or anger on Nangong Rongguang's face, and his voice was almost flat: "How did a peasant woman get into Nangong Garden?"
"I don't know, I don't know. He probably came in last night." The housekeeper was also sweating because of his poor performance.
Come to think of it, a peasant woman died inexplicably in Nangongyuan, but they didn't notice it at all.
Such things will not subside when Nangong Nie is around.
What's more, Nangong Rongguang is now in charge, and his thoughts are even more serious than Nangong Nie's: "Go and check."
"Yes!" The housekeeper lowered his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Nangong Rongguang lowered his eyes, looked at the corpse on the ground, sighed slightly, then curled his index finger slightly and muttered something, as if he was trying to save the woman.
Just thinking about it, Nangong Rongguang suddenly stopped moving, and his angular face changed significantly.
"Master, what's wrong?" Nangong Yuan's butler has relied on observing his words to get to where he is today since the day he entered the mansion. Now that he sees Nangong Rongguang's pause, he naturally wants to step forward to fawn over him.
Nangong Rongguang took his hand back and opened his thin lips slightly: "Nothing, just go do your thing."
"Yes!" The housekeeper then left with a few guards.
Nangong Baiye lowered his head, avoiding Nangong Rongguang who was walking towards him, but his eyes were filled with light and wandering.
Others didn't know why Nangong Rongguang's expression suddenly changed, but as an onmyoji, she understood it clearly.
This woman's soul...is empty!
This means that there is no way to transcend it!
"Go and invite the masters from the Snow Garden." Nangong Rongguang ordered the guards in front of him in a cold voice.
Only then did Nangong Baiye realize that he had walked to her side. Suddenly his back stiffened and he responded with a rough voice: "Yes."
Then turn around and try to make your steps look smoother.
At this time, the faster you walk, the more suspicious you will appear.
Nangong Baiye could even feel that Nangong Rongguang was behind her, looking at her slightly thin back as if looking deeply...
"Wait." Nangong Rongguang spoke again, his eyes slightly calm, and he walked towards this side.
Nangong Baiye's head sank low, and his chest was tight and dull.
"Ask them to bring the compass over." Nangong Rongguang stopped two steps away from Nangong Baiye.
Nangong Baiye said respectfully, "Yes." His face remained normal, but he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart...
Her walking posture is still neither fast nor slow, which is in line with the identity she is currently pretending to be. If she walks too fast, she will appear guilty, and if she walks too slowly, she will make people think that she is not doing things.
Nangong Rongguang's doubts were dispelled and he looked away from her.
Nangong Baiye did not give up her plan, but felt that this was an opportunity. She had previously thought about how to see those Onmyojis, but now that she had received Nangong Rongguang's order, everything became much easier.
The path from the backyard to the snow viewing garden is almost smooth.
But after arriving at Yuanzi, Nangong Baiye couldn't help but frown. She didn't know why, but this Yuanzi always made her feel like something was wrong.
It was obviously the warm sunshine and the warm scenery of plum blossoms in bloom, but she subconsciously resisted.
While walking on the corridor, there were waves of empty echoes behind me.
Probably because it was too quiet in the garden, many evergreen pine trees were planted. The pine trees in the north are unusually tall, and they become more lush in winter. Their outstretched branches and leaves cover the sunlight, making it look a bit gloomy.
As Nangong Baiye walked forward, she always felt that someone behind her was looking at her...
When I turned around, I saw an empty corridor with nothing but swaying branches and leaves.
Nangong Baiye narrowed his eyes, his long sleeves drooped slightly, and he was surprised to find a blade between his fingers.
Breathing is also slow and cautious.
However, maybe she really thought too much.
When she arrived at the door where the onmyojis lived, no one showed up.
Nangong Baiye frowned, slightly bent his fingers, and was about to knock on the door.
But I found that the door was already open, and I could go in with a slight push.
What is going on?
Nangong Baiye frowned and was about to walk in...
Suddenly.
Three figures of different sizes appeared in front of the wooden door, blocking her way with side glances...
