Chapter 91
"Boom—"

A loud thunder pierced the night sky, waking up many sleeping people.

Tonight it was Fu Ling's turn to watch the night. She put on her clothes and went to check the window in the girl's room. She removed the gold silk lampshade and dialed the wick with a long needle. Watching the girl, she picked up the lantern in the corner and walked out while the thunder was pausing.

In the palace, there are guards who watch the night, and there are palace people who watch the night, but the only one Fu Ling believes in is herself.

On a thunderstorm night like this, anything can happen.

"Miss Fu Ling?" Fang Fei was standing on the porch holding a lantern.

Fu Ling saw the person standing there without raising the lantern, "Sister Fang Fei?"

"Come here." Fang Fei waved at Fulingou.

Fu Ling holds a lamp in her left hand, and quietly holds a sharp dagger in her right hand.

She stepped forward slowly, "Sister Fang Fei was awakened by the thunder?"

Fang Fei lowered her voice and said: "My bed is facing the bed, so I can see the swaying tree shadows clearly. I always feel...there is something wrong with the trees in our yard."

"Huh?" Fu Ling tapped her toes to the ground, raised her heels lightly, and walked lightly like a cat. She stepped forward with a smile and was ready to stab the dagger at any time and float away.

Fang Fei pointed to the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, "There are many flowers and plants in the harem, but few trees. Shuyunxuan is able to grow so well because of these pomegranate trees. When I first entered the palace, it was in Shuyunxuan Take care of these pomegranate trees."

The implication is that she knows a lot about pomegranate trees.

"I think someone is there."

The thunder rolled, and the silver lightning lit up the yard and the pomegranate tree.

Fu Ling said, "There is no one on the tree."

"I know." Fang Fei looked around in fear, "That person is probably hiding in the yard."

Fu Ling inserted the lantern under the corridor, took Fang Fei's hand, and invisibly clasped Fang Fei's pulse door. Her pulse was beating very fast, obviously frightened and flustered.

"Sister Fang Fei, don't worry. We are standing on the porch, with the wall behind and the garden in front. If someone really rushes over, our screams will definitely attract the guards." Fu Ling comforted, "Go, sister and I Go back to the girl, so I can tell you what you saw..."

"To the girl's place?" Fang Fei tiptoed.

Fu Ling noticed that the soles of Fang Fei's shoes were clean, apparently she was standing on the porch when she left the bedroom, and did not go into the yard.

"Although the girl has a bad temper, she is very reasonable. My sister saw a figure on the tree in the room... How can I keep the girl from knowing about such a big event? If there is a misunderstanding, the girl will definitely not blame it. If there is such a person, it's okay Ask the girl for an idea, don't you?"

The thunder continued, the wind and rain were heavy, Fu Ling was good at kung fu, and it was difficult to find someone from the yard on such a night.

There are quite a few people serving in Shuyunxuan, but those who are capable are all in the courtyard of Eldest Princess Ronghui. As for Luo Xiyao... In Fu Ling's view, even if the palace maids pile up into a wall, it is not enough for a killer to kill back and forth. .

What's more, there are tens of thousands of ways to harm people in the palace, killing people is the easiest.

Luo Xiyao didn't hide the fact that the witch doll was found in Tao Ranju's backyard. If that person could bury something in Tao Ranju, would he also bury it in Shuyunxuan?

Shuyunxuan is much bigger than Tao Ranju, so it is difficult to find people, let alone find hidden things.

It would be fine if it was hidden in Luo Xiyao's place, but I'm afraid that someone who hides in the dark will hide things in the eldest princess's place.

Without the girl asking, Fu Ling couldn't go in and search.

Hearing another footstep, Yun Pian immediately stood vigilantly at the door.

"Yun Pian, it's me." Fu Ling said, "I brought Sister Fang Fei here, I have something urgent to talk to the girl."

Yun Pian didn't care about waking Luo Xiyao up, so he hurriedly opened the door to let them in, "The girl hasn't woken up yet..."

"I'm awake." Luo Xiyao opened the bed curtain and sat up, her voice did not have the laziness of someone who just woke up, it was as cold as if she had never slept, "Yun Pian guarded the door, Fu Ling and Fang Fei came over .”

Fu Ling made a gesture to Yun Pian, reminding that there might be strangers in the courtyard, and she led Fang Fei in.

Needless to say, Fang Fei told Luo Xiyao about the fact that she found someone on the pomegranate tree after she was woken up in an orderly manner, "Girl, you believe in this servant, and this servant will never make a mistake. The servant is taking care of the pomegranate tree in Shuyunxuan For more than five years, even after going to the empress's side, it was the servant who brought people to Shuyunxuan to maintain these pomegranate trees. Not to mention the moonlit night, even in the fog, as long as the pomegranate tree can be seen clearly, the servant knows that the pomegranate tree should be What it looks like. That shadow... is definitely a person."

"Don't worry." Luo Xiyao asked Fu Ling to help her up, "Move an embroidered pier and sit down and talk."

Her voice carried a calming power, "Don't worry, that person has not done anything since he came in, and he didn't think he wanted to kill people. In this case, we can slowly guess that no matter what that person wants to do, he has to wait." Isn’t Tianliang? Otherwise, it’s not framing Shu Yunxuan, but asking for trouble.”

Luo Xiyao asked unhurriedly: "What time is it?"

Fang Fei said, "It's about a quarter of Yin's time."

"It's still early before dawn!" Luo Xiyao rubbed her fingers, "Fu Ling help me change my clothes."

While Fu Ling was holding the clothes, Fang Fei took a comb to help Luo Xiyao comb her hair.

Now I don't care about buns anymore, just neat and convenient.

Luo Xiyao quickly took the three maids and sat down in the hall, "Think about it, if you want to hide things, why is it easy for people to ignore and find out the Tibetan Shuyun Pavilion? If it's not things, but people, Where are you going to hide again?"

"Tibetans?" Fang Fei licked the corner of her mouth nervously, "Tibetans are hard not to be discovered, it's okay at night, but at dawn, the sweepers will get up first to clean up the yard, followed by the servants and maidservants... "

Before she finished speaking, Fang Fei understood what Luo Xiyao meant, the girl was not talking about the living, but the dead!

Fang Fei's face was flickering with the candle, "According to the girl's guess, it is best to hide things where sweepers will pass by. Since it is hidden, it must not be placed on the bright side. If you want to If the palace servants in the courtyard found out that it was about to be washed out by the rain, they would have to bury it in the soil. If not, they would have been hiding in someone’s room, so they needed an introduction to search for Shuyunxuan.”

"Is there a precedent for searching the harem?" Luo Xiyao asked.

Fang Fei nodded, "Yes. If the palace servants are dishonest, they will be accused to the master, and the master will arrange a search, or the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange a search."

Luo Xiyao shook her head, "This is a house search, I mean a palace search! Is there no concubine in the palace who made a mistake?"

"Even if there is, this kind of thing will be kept silent." Fang Fei swallowed nervously, "I heard that Concubine Rou, who lives in the cold palace, was led to search the palace by the Eldest Princess because of something wrong. It was locked in the cold palace."

Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows: "Princess Ronghui?"
