Chapter 82 The Case of Bai Ling Palace Maid 3
In the early morning of the next day, in a small room of the Si Lijian, a figure was shivering while wrapped in a quilt.
The little father-in-law who was cleaning was surnamed Mu. Ever since he saw the female corpse, he was terrified!He had been hiding in the room and dared not come out. It was already summer, and he still wrapped himself in a quilt, his eyes were dull and flustered.
Eunuch Cui, who was in charge, pushed the door and entered, came to Eunuch Mu and said solemnly, "Look at how cowardly you are! Is this kind of thing rare in the palace? Get up! The palace doesn't support idlers!"

Eunuch Mu still shivered, avoiding Eunuch Cui's eyes.
Eunuch Cui said sadly, "Do you want to be sent out of the palace?"

"Don't be a villain and can't go out of the palace. The villain has no relatives." Eunuch Mu returned to his senses, struggled to get up from the bed, and followed Eunuch Cui with his arms in his arms.
"That's right, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" Eunuch Cui led Eunuch Mu to the cold palace, "It's your job to clean the cold palace. If you don't work, will the palace give you free food?"

Thinking of entering that terrifying room, Eunuch Mu burst into tears in fear and sobbed a few times.
Eunuch Cui: "Don't cry! What a formality!"

Eunuch Mu was startled, he desperately held back his tears, wiped away his tears, and followed silently with his head down.
The two turned around the corner, and a few feet in front was the Leng Palace, and Eunuch Mu suddenly shivered!Squint your eyes!Immediately terrified! !The blurred figures of several palace maids appeared on the red fence!They are like pictures hidden in the wall!But those elegant gestures and flowing wide sleeves are not static! !
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !
Eunuch Cui looked back!Also saw the strangeness on the wall! !Immediately opened my eyes! !
"Impossible! Don't come here! Demons and ghosts! Don't come here!!"

The rising sun has receded from the coldness of the early morning. In the East Palace, the neatly dressed guards are glued to the mirror with thick fake beards.
"Yan guard." The prince called from outside the door.

Guard Yan opened the door for him, and saw Bai Xue and Lan Xue standing in front of the prince early with various colors.

"Don't you have to go to court today?" Guard Yan let the three of them in and asked the prince.

"The matter has been resolved, it is time to return to the government as soon as possible." After the prince sat down, he signaled the guard to sit down quickly, "Eat quickly, these are Lan Xue and Bai Xue's good cooking skills."

Yan Huwei: "Since that's the case, should I go back to the palace?"

The prince smiled and said, "No hurry, you can stay for a few more days, but this palace is reluctant to let you go back."

"Brother Jin, does he want to continue to benefit King An's cakes?" Yan Huwei met the prince's eyes and said with a smile, "The fox will definitely come again today!"

"The matter of An Yanzhen, who is not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, has also been resolved. It may not be easy for Brother Ming to enter the palace today, but it should not be difficult for him!" Thinking of Brother Ming's collapsed appearance, the Crown Prince The smile deepened, "Well, what kind of pastry should I give today? Would you like to add some seasoning to the pastry? Brother Ming doesn't like sour taste, why don't we add more vinegar!"

"Okay!" The two looked at the thief and smiled!
The strange story of the palace maid taking pictures in the morning has been processed all morning, and it has been spread. Some say that it is the soul of Li Guiren, and some say that the palace maid Xiaolu is at work. Xiaolu is the hanging female corpse that Mu Xiaogong found last night.

In the Hall of Diligence and Administration, the emperor was furious: "Who is so bold?! Dare to commit murder in the palace!! And those palace people! Spreading the rumors, what the hell is going on!!!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!" Eunuch Liu hurriedly knelt down, "It's the old slave's poor discipline!"

Emperor: "Okay! Chuan Yi'an King!!"

"Yes!"

Qi Ming was distressed. The matter of the county magistrate in Anyan Town was over, and the crown prince had returned to power again, so there was no edict that he would be inconvenient to enter the palace.

After Qiming came to the Qinzheng Hall, he had a general understanding of the situation and showed a relaxed smile. He saluted the emperor and asked for an decree: "Father, An Yanzhen and his party, it shows that the princess of Erchen has an excellent ability to detect and solve cases. It's better to let her come to investigate."

The emperor recalled the incident in Anyan Town and said, "I ordered Princess Yi'an to enter the palace immediately! Solve the case within three days!"

After getting the order, Qi Ming immediately went to the East Palace to pick up Yan Mo, but he didn't want to see Lan Xue waiting at the door of the East Palace with a plate of egg yolk pastry.

"My lord, this is today's pastry, and the prince is still missing." Lan Xue looked like a little adult, her tone was cold, which contrasted sharply with her tender complexion. She was still a little despised for the childishness of these three people. !

Looking at the egg yolk cake, Qi Ming deliberately raised his chin and said, "Recently, strange things have happened frequently in the palace. Your Majesty has ordered Princess Yi'an to thoroughly investigate the strange things in the palace. I don't know, is the East Palace okay?"

Lan Xue's eyes lit up, and she heard the main point, and said sternly: "My lord, His Royal Highness is not in the palace, so the servant can't relay this question."

Qi Ming: "I don't know where the emperor is now?"

"No matter where His Royal Highness is, he will never see the prince, please come back." Lan Xue raised her bright eyes, "The weather is not cold enough, and the cakes are not easy to provide, please eat it as soon as possible." She handed the egg yolk pastry.

Qi Ming stared at the egg yolk cake and muttered in his heart, the weather in summer is not cold enough, it is already hot. The weather is not cold enough, the cakes are not easy to supply, and the cold, the cold, the cold palace.

"This king understands!" Qi Ming pretended to be deflated, took the egg yolk cake angrily and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait, my lord!" Lan Xue called Queen Yi'an to stop and walked quickly into the inner courtyard for a moment, and she took out a package.

"This is also a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince. It was missed by a servant. Your Highness, please take it as well." After speaking, Lan Xue saluted, stepped into the gate, and closed the palace gate, with no waves on her face.

In the eyes of outsiders, King Yi'an had another closed door.

Qi Ming continued to swagger around the palace with the cakes in his hand, and came to a corner with few palace people. He said to the void, "Notify Lu Jiu and send another carriage into the palace, that is, the princess is following the king. Come, put on that new cloak and meet in the cold palace."

Hearing a swish, the phantom in the sky swept away, leaving a green leaf floating down.
Qi Ming went out of the corner and went straight to the cold palace. There are few people in the cold palace. Even if such a big event happened, there were only two guards in front of the palace gate.When the guard saw King Yi'an, he hurriedly saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Yi'an." Then he stared at the plate of egg yolk pastry.

Qi Ming didn't care, walked straight in, looked up, and saw that the guard was checking the scene in the back room.

"This is the dossier surveyed by the Ministry of Punishment yesterday." The prince handed over the dossier.

When guard Yan opened it, he raised his eyebrows: "Help me read it."

The prince took the file with a smile: "The deceased is Xiaolu, the maid of the Leng Palace. She used to be Li Guiren's personal maid. Although she was hanged, her eyes were blue and black and her tongue was not exposed. After inspection, she died. It was concluded that he died of poisoning."

Yan Mo: "Li Guiren?"

Prince: "Three years ago, Li Guiren was convicted of poisoning the [-]th prince. The [-]th emperor's younger brother was rescued. The father was gracious and did not execute Li Guiren, but put her in the cold palace. But half a year later, she It was unbearable, and she hanged herself here. Xiaolu was her palace maid, and she lived here after being put into the cold palace together until her body was discovered yesterday."

Yan Mo: "Suicide. Bai Ling died of poisoning, which means that she was not hanged. The first crime scene is not necessarily here."

Prince: "It is also possible that the murderer poisoned her here and then hung her up."

Yan Mo: "I asked the guards, except for the corpse that was removed, everything else remains the same, if it was the little green who died here, there will be traces of struggle, but there are no support marks on the ground, indicating that The murderer carried Xiaolu into the house and then hoisted her up." As she said that, she raised her head and squinted at the roof, because it was old, the roof was pickled and messy, piled up with clumps of spider silk, covered with dust .
"Yan guard." Qi Ming stepped in gracefully and called out softly.

"Second Emperor!"

"Fox! Why are you here?!"

The two looked at each other when they saw the egg yolk cake in Qi Ming's hands.

Qi Ming: "Your Majesty's order, the case of the Bai Ling palace maid will be handed over to you for investigation, and the case will be solved within three days."

"Father's will?" The prince wanted to use this case as an excuse to leave a message to protect him for a few more days. After the decision, she had to restore her original identity, "Father has always disliked the involvement of daughters."

"That's a female family member in the palace, she's outside the palace." Qi Ming came to Yan Huwei, looked into her eyes, and said.

"." The prince's heart tightened slightly, "cough."

Yan Guard: "His Royal Highness!"

Qi Ming: "Brother Emperor!"

"Nothing." The crown prince pressed a fist against the corner of his lips with one hand, and signaled the two not to worry, "Why did the royal father let her investigate this matter?"

Qi Ming looked at the Crown Prince and saw that his expression was okay, and continued: "Although it was only the palace servant who died suddenly, but because of this incident, the people in the palace were panicked. The royal father did not want to put too much burden on the punishment department, so I used your external force. ." The last sentence was addressed to the guard.

Yan Huwei: "The palace servant is also a human life. Since Your Majesty handed this matter to me, I will find out the murderer and give her justice!"

"Then you have to restore your identity." Qi Ming handed the package, "This is what Lan Xue gave to this king, it must be a woman's dress."

Guard Yan took a look and saw that it was indeed a women's dress. It was a set of orange-pink, star-moon, gilt, daffodils, and light-sleeved gauze dresses that Ri Lanxue had brought him that day.

Qi Ming: "How's the survey of this place?"

Yan Mo: "I've seen everything except the roof."

Qi Ming raised his eyes to look at the dilapidated and dirty roof, and said with a little disgust, "Put this on, and when Lu Jiu arrives, let him check the roof for you."

"Change here?" Yan Mo said in surprise!

Qi Ming: "It's a secret that you stay in the palace as an escort. Now it takes time to take you out of the palace to change clothes and then enter the palace, so I simply restore your identity here."

Yan Mo frowned and said, "Is it unreasonable for Princess Yi'an to suddenly appear in the palace?"

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. After Lu Jiu meets, your appearance will be reasonable." Qi Ming said, pulling the prince to go out, "We will wait for you outside."

"Hey! Fox! Don't be in such a hurry?! Wait for me." Yan Mo wanted to catch up, but Qi Ming quickly closed the door and said a word.

"Hurry up and change it out."

Guard Yan glanced at the door resentfully, but reluctantly picked a corner and began to change. She took off her guard outfit and untied the wrist guard, and found that the stone bracelet and the rope of the wrist guard were entangled.
"Why do you even entertain me?" Yan Mo said angrily, "Stinky fox! I'm in such a hurry to make me change into women's clothes. I'm afraid I won't get back to my daughter's body. I have to change clothes in such a place! Fortunately, I Born in Jianghu, if it were an ordinary girl, I would be scared to death! Ah! It's finally untied! This bracelet is also strange, it can't be taken off, how did you put it on in the first place?"

The prince and Qi Ming obediently stayed outside, and the two of them turned their faces away and went to the edge of the stone steps to place the plate of egg yolk pastry.
There was a blush on the prince's face, and he was looking forward to what Yan Mo would look like in the clothes he chose.
There was no smile on Qi Ming's face, he just wanted to quickly restore Yan Mo's identity so that he could take her out of the palace, but he didn't want the prince to stand here at all.
On the other side, after the horse-riding family in the palace, Princess Yi'an's carriage was parked, Yue Yuebai's figure got off gracefully with the help of Lu Jiu.

When the palace people saw it, they saluted: "See the princess."

Yuebai's figure stood tall and straight without a word, and led Lu Jiu out of the horse-riding genus directly to the cold palace.

In the cold palace, Yan Mo had just put on his underwear and was groping for how to tie his belt when he felt a faint creaking sound coming from the top of his head.
boom!Suddenly I heard the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground!The two people outside the door were nervous, and without a word, they rushed in!
"Yan'er!!"

"Yan girl!!"

Yan Mo, who was only half-dressed, showed his fragrant shoulders, and one jumped over to dodge!A white-clothed ghost floated past behind him!
Yan Mo held down his clothes to cover the front, and condensed sword energy with one hand back!The white image that flew past fell like no energy!
Yan Mo stepped forward!Wanting to see what Bai Ying is, he accidentally stepped on a lubricating spot on the ground, and his body was unstable and he would slip!
Qi Ming quickly turned around and stepped up, reaching out to embrace it!
The prince was not fast enough, and his outstretched hand could only stop in mid-air.
The silk brocade is lightly soaked in the warm fragrance, and the chest is full of hot stickers.Xia Yi was light and thin, her eyes were very close, and the two of them spun around and stood firm.
The heart is connected, the hand is difficult to reach, the farthest is the heart, the pain in the belly is full of sorrow, soaked in the deep memory of the prince withdrew his hands, and lowered his eyes.
Qi Ming's heart was agitated violently, as far as his eyes could reach, his shoulders were indifferent and white, and his collarbone showed a graceful arc.
Yan Mo released the dead fish eyes and pushed hard!Freely break free from each other's arms!
This move interrupted Qi Ming's meditation, but brought back the prince's melancholy, and his eyes slowly became clearer.
Yan Mo turned his back, put on his coat, and began to check what fell. The prince quickly stepped up and followed.

The three of them looked up and down and found that the white shadow was just a white ling, just like the fake corpse props before. Because the old roof beams were seriously eroded, the hook fell off, and the white ling hidden on the roof floated down. In addition to the white silk, there is also a layer of dark silk, which is helpful to hide on the dark roof beams.Chimo slipped when he stepped on the dark silk cloth.

"This is left by the murderer. It seems that the roof still needs to be inspected." Yan Mo wanted to fly over it!
"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go up with this dress, and it may even destroy the scene." Qi Ming stopped Yan Mo to stop him.

Yan Mo looked at the dress and said with disgust, "You shouldn't change this dress."

"Sister!" Yue Yue Bai entered the house.

Yan Mo heard the voice, stopped his stance, turned around and saw someone taking off his hood, revealing a small clean face, it was Zhu Shui.Behind him was Lu Jiu.

Yan Mo: "Bamboo Water? Why are you here?"

Zhu Shui took off his cloak and gave it to Yan Mo: "Sister, put on this."

After putting on the cape, Yan Mo saw that Zhu Shui was wearing the guard's clothes, so he understood Qi Ming's intention and took the fake beard: "Put it on."

Zhu Shui lightly pressed the fake beard, revealing a novel look.

"Have you grown taller?" Yan Mo approached and compared with Zhu Shui.

"Sister, look." Zhu Shui stretched out his left foot, revealing the thick sole.

Yan Mo squinted at Zhushui and said, "I didn't expect my substitute to be you? It's not bad for you to imitate your daughter's family!"

Zhu Shui smiled pleasingly and said, "Big sister has won the prize." After speaking, he imitated Lu Jiu's appearance and stood in a guarding position.

After completing the identity exchange with Yan Mo, Zhu Shui and Lu Jiu saluted the three of them in turn.

Qi Ming: "Lu Jiu, go up and have a look."

"Master, what are you looking at?" Lu Jiu had just entered the palace, not knowing the situation, and asked with wide eyes.

Yan Mo: "Yesterday, a palace maid died here, saying that there was a ghost causing trouble. Now we are investigating the matter."

"Ghosts and ghosts?" Lu Jiu repeated with his teeth chattering up and down, "Can this subordinate not go?"

Yan Mo slapped Lu Jiu's chest with his backhand: "Thank you for being the guard of the palace! You're actually afraid of ghosts!"

Qi Ming: "Zhu Shui does not know martial arts, who will you go if you don't go?"

Lu Jiu glanced at the three masters and said helplessly: "Yes." He flew over, the cat covered his mouth and looked at the beams of the house.
Yan Mo: "What did you find?"

"It's full of dust." Lu Jiu replied in a dull voice, "There are several scratches on the beams of the hooks, and there is a fracture formed by erosion."

"The fracture should be caused by this hook, strange." Yan Mo squatted down and looked at the dark silk cloth, "Why did the murderer leave fake corpse props, isn't he afraid to leave evidence?"

"This is the fabric of the palace servants." The prince also squatted, pointing to the dark silk sermon, "The Shang Palace Bureau should have stockpiles."

Yan Mo: "Who has access to these fabrics?"

Prince: "In addition to the people from the Shang Palace Bureau, the maids and father-in-laws can contact them. As long as the application is damaged, or the year has come, they can get new fabrics."

Yan Mo: "You should make clothes right away when you get the fabric, right? Check who got the fabric but didn't make the clothes in time, and you can lock the suspect."

The prince smiled and said: "The palace people can't immediately cut and make the clothes when they receive the fabric. They need to queue up. The embroiderers need to give priority to finishing the master's clothing, and wait until they have vacancies before they can line up to the palace people."

Yan Mo was slightly disappointed: "Ah"

Qi Ming: "Have the guards at the door asked? Who are the people who have entered the cold palace in recent days?"

Yan Mo: "I've asked, the cold palace is not taken seriously. There is basically no guard here during the third watch. The murderer should have picked this time to commit the crime."

"How did the murderer know about the guards here?" After Lu Jiu landed, he quickly patted the dust on his body and smoothed the goosebumps on his body. "The palace staff are all servants of the palace, and only the guards know about the guards."

Yan Mo: "No, the palace people in each palace also know it, so the murderer must have had contact with the people in the cold palace.

"Why don't we know first, who knows the palace maid Xiaolu." The prince suggested.

"Okay!" After Yan Mo agreed, five people, no, three people asked the palace servants in the cold palace together, and found that they were either old, weak, sick, unable to hang Xiaolu, or mentally ill and unable to ask.
The prince and Qi Ming were waiting outside the cold palace, and Qi Ming was holding the plate of egg yolk cake in his hand.

"Ha! Ha!" Lu Jiu fled desperately, "Wait for me! Princess!"

Yan Mo grabbed the bamboo water and ran in front, while Lu Jiu was in charge of breaking the back. Those insane palace servants stuck behind him like zombies, screaming and spitting!Lu Jiu jumped in fright and quickly disappeared from their sight!

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Lu Jiu finally landed, and the palace gate behind him closed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's terrible, how can there be such a terrible person in the world. Everyone's brain is not normal!"

"Lu Jiu! I know, you are not only afraid of ghosts, but also of zombies!!" Yan Mo, who stood still a step earlier, let go of Zhu Shui and looked at Lu Jiu with contempt.

"Princess. Don't make fun of your subordinates with ghosts! Your subordinates are cowardly!!" Lu Jiu pleaded with aggrieved expression.

Yan Mo smiled and said, "Did I say you are a treasure? How did your prince tolerate you until now?"

"No more in the palace than outside the palace, Lu Jiu, don't be rude." Qi Ming said, handing the egg yolk cake to Zhushui.

"Yes" Lu Jiu straightened his clothes and stood upright.

Qi Ming: "Yan'er, the investigation is very important. The royal father only gave him three days."

Yan Mo: "Those people are not murderers. Xiaolu was hanged. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled don't have the strength. The insane palace servants won't set up Bai Ling as a cover-up method. It seems that we have to start with Li Guiren."

Prince: "Li Guiren? How do you want to check?"

Yan Mo: "Li Gui must have had many palace maids before his life, and Xiaolu is just one of them. Check it out. Who else has served Li Guiren? Maybe there are people who know Xiaolu."

Prince: "The palace maid I know Xiaolu. Ben Gong will help you find out, but it will take some time."

Qi Ming: "Yan'er, there is another special case in this case. According to the report of the palace staff, there seems to be an afterimage of the palace maid on the wall near the cold palace."

"Afterimage?" Yan Mo asked curiously, "Take me to see it."

After just a few steps, the five people came to the red wall at the corner, Yan Mo got close and observed it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

Yan Mo: "Who saw the afterimage? When did you see it?"

Qi Ming: "Eunuch Cui of the Jingshi Room, this morning."

Prince: "Someone, it is said that Eunuch Cui came to ask questions."

"Yes." The palace servant on the side got the order and went to pass it on.

Yan Mo covered the wall with both hands, stroking left and right, not letting go up and down. If the portrait was buried, there would be bumps on the wall, which could be felt with the fingertips. The hard stone bracelet.
The clouds in the sky slowly floated, and the shadow slowly covered Yan Mo's body. Only a jingle sound was heard, and the stone bracelet touched the wall, causing a tiny blue-yellow electric spark to escape!
Yan Mo is vigilant and retreats!But I saw the grand scene in front of me appearing like threads and twists! !Although it is not as vast as the stars, it is also miraculous, and the stars extend to the ground.
The silhouettes of a dozen palace maids are faintly imprinted on the red wall!Some are holding fruit bowls, some are leisurely, some are gently lifting their blue fingers, and some are stroking the leaders. The feather shirts are really fluttering, and the paintings and silk dance with them, swaying and swaying.
The prince was also very surprised to see them talking, talking, walking, lifelike, like a fairy who descended into the world and got into this red wall.
Among the dozen or so people, there was a figure with his back to everyone. Looking back slightly, Qi Ming at this time saw this familiar back and profile, and couldn't help standing stunned.
The phantom in the distant memory, when the east wind blows, the dust is dispersed, the graceful figure turns his head and raises his eyes, but the remnants of the past are still recalled.
"How could it be. Sister palace maid?" Qi Ming's eyes widened, his face full of surprise. That was the maid of the Mingyue Palace. It used to be a touch of fun in his childhood, but unfortunately, whether it is in memory or on the red wall, it is just a familiar one. And the vague outline. He couldn't remember how the man laughed, and how he put on his bun.
Yan Mo had to look at Qi Ming in surprise. He seldom revealed his true feelings.
Yan Mo: "Fox. What's wrong with you?"

"Palace maid sister. Palace maid sister in the concubine's palace" Qi Ming seemed to be attracted. He reached out to touch the image, and when his fingertips were about to touch, a tingling sensation came from his tail ring!

"hiss!"

"Fox!" Yan Mo grabbed Qi Ming's wrist nervously!The numbness instantly spread to her! !

The dim stone bracelet shone slightly at the moment, trembling!It seems to be absorbing energy! !
At this moment, Yan Mo's body is bursting with heat!Nanobots are hit by electromagnetism!Strange sights appeared in her mind, landscapes she had never seen before, tall blue glazed buildings, clothes she had never seen before, middle-aged men with no hair and middle-aged women with short and medium hair. Puppy dogs that ran away, Harsh beeping. Eye-scorching light!Everything seems familiar yet so unfamiliar!Finally, the face of a middle-aged man appeared. He was wearing a plain collared robe, his hair was neatly bun, and his lips were opened and closed with a smile.
"When you return to Mojiazhuang in the future, will you miss Master?"

"Of course! One day is a teacher and a lifelong father, Ziyan will never forget his master!"

"Miss Yan!" The prince wanted to touch Yan Mo!
"Brother Huang, don't come here!" Qi Ming shouted!He slammed it out!Blast off the adsorption force between electromagnetics!
The energy in Yan Mo's body has shrunk! !She gasped! !My eyes begin to become clear. I slowly wake up from the images in my head.
"Sister!" Zhu Shui quickly supported her!

At the same time, the clouds drifted away, the sun was shining, and the image of the red wall slowly faded away, leaving no trace. In the end, only the graceful figure that turned his head and raised his eyes slowly turned his head and disappeared into the depths of the red wall.
　Nanorobots: Electric Shock! !
