Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 184 The empress's impression of Xue Mu changes! (Looking good! Please subscribe)

There is still some time before the big imperial examination in spring.

So Xue Mu didn't take this matter to heart.

Even if you change your mind when the time comes, it's still too late.

But he naturally wouldn't think that such a grand imperial examination would take special care of a blind man.

At present, what he is thinking about now is how to use the case again to enter the palace, so as to get in touch with the map of the palace, and then use the potion given by Ding Laosan to restore the map.

Just as Xue Mu was guessing when the next murder would happen.

Early this morning, Eunuch Cao brought people to the God Detective Division again.

Seeing his flustered posture, Nangongxue knew that there must be another accident in the palace.

So she quickly called Xue Mu and entered the palace together.

On the way into the palace, Eunuch Cao, Nangong Xue, and Xue Mu explained: "Early this morning, nobleman Rong sent someone to say that someone died in the well outside their bedroom."

As soon as Xue Mu heard it, he immediately asked, "Did you hear a cat meowing the night before?"

"Yes." Eunuch Cao nodded, "Concubine Hua heard a cat meowing."

"Is the two bedrooms far apart?" Xue Mu continued to ask.

Eunuch Cao thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's not very far."

Xue Mu fell into thinking after hearing this.

Seeing that he was silent, Nangong Xue thought there was some clue, so she asked, "Did you find anything?"

Xue Mu laughed: "Not yet."

Nangongxue also knew that this case had no clue now, and then she thought of something, and then asked Cao Gonggong: "Two days ago we found the commander of the imperial army, Meng, and he said that he would send people to guard the well in the harem. Didn't you find it?"

Eunuch Cao explained embarrassingly: "Due to the lack of manpower in the Forbidden Army, Commander Meng only arranged some people to guard the imperial concubine's bedroom. As for the resting place of the nobleman, no manpower was arranged."

Hearing this, Xue Mu said: "It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes will deliberately choose the fish that slip through the net according to the place guarded by the imperial army."

Eunuch Cao immediately said: "Lord Xue, Lord Nangong, the empress may be a little angry this time, so the two adults may have to take more care."

Nangongxue also knew that there were several homicides in succession, but the God Detective Division still made no progress.

It is inevitable for the empress to be angry.

After all, as the mother of a country, she is in charge of the harem.

If something went wrong, the emperor would find out about it, and she might be blamed.

In any case, this case must be resolved as soon as possible.

So Nangongxue and others came all the way to the queen's bedroom.

"Help me to inform you that the old slave brought two adults to see the empress."

When Eunuch Cao reminded him outside the palace.

A voice came from the bedroom: "Come in, everyone."

The three of Nangongxue walked in together.

Eunuch Cao is very good at talking, he knew that the queen's mood must not be beautiful now, so he said in advance: "The old slave kowtowed to see the queen, the empress will live forever."

Then he added: "When the old slave came here just now, he found that the sun had been shining on the Kunning Palace, it was like adding a golden glow to the palace."

After hearing these words, Lan Jiuyun waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't say these words."

She looked at Nangong Xue and Xue Mu: "Several eunuchs and maids have died in this harem one after another. Have you made any progress?"

Nangongxue immediately cupped her hands and said, "I would like to report to the Empress, we had Commander Meng of the Forbidden Army assign manpower to guard the wells in front of each bedroom in the harem, but perhaps due to lack of manpower, the murderer had an opportunity."

But Lan Jiuyun said: "The imperial army has always only patrolled outside the harem, and now for this case, going to guard outside the bedroom has already provided you with great help. If you want them to go to each bedroom to arrange manpower, then this matter It will definitely alarm His Majesty."

"If that's the case, then what's the use of your god arrest?"

Lan Jiuyun's rare anger also made Nangong Xue not know what to say for a while.

I saw Xue Mu stepping forward and explaining: "Empress Empress, this subordinate is confident that we can catch the murderer within seven days."

When Nangongxue heard this, her eyes widened.

Now they don't even know who the murderer is, what he looks like, and what position he holds.

How to catch the murderer?
Seeing Xue Mu's promise, Lan Jiuyun also gained a little confidence: "Okay, since you said so, I will give you seven days. If you say you can't get the murderer within seven days, will you know the consequences?"

Xue Mu said again: "It's all up to your mother."

"Okay, then I will give you seven days. If you need any help during this period, you can tell Eunuch Cao that the Ai family will give you the greatest help." Lan Jiuyun looked at Xue Mu and said.

Although she felt that it took seven days to solve the case, it was a bit suspenseful.

But I don't know why seeing Xue Mu so confident, Lan Jiuyun felt a little relieved.

It was his appearance that made Lan Jiuyun take a second look.

have to say.

He looks quite handsome.

Unfortunately.

Eyes cannot see.

Xue Mu suggested at this time: "This subordinate has only one request."

"any request?"

"You must go through the map of the palace to catch the murderer."

Hearing this, Lan Jiuyun did not hesitate.

After all, the harem is so big that it is really difficult to catch a murderer.

So she nodded and looked at the maid beside her.

And the maid also understood, turned around and went to the cabinet behind the screen, and took out the map of the palace.

But Lan Jiuyun also has a request: "You can only look at the map of the palace here. If you suddenly think of something during the process of handling the case, you can come to me, provided that you can't take it away."

"Subordinates naturally understand." Xue Mu responded.

Lan Jiuyun didn't bother them to handle the case anymore, so she stood up and was about to walk to the Feng bed behind the screen.

After Lan Jiuyun left, Nangongxue asked Xue Mu in a low voice: "How can you issue a military order?"

Xue Mu replied: "Just now I went through it in my mind. You held my hand, and then on the map, pointed to the places where every homicide occurred."

"Ah?" Nangong Xue was a little puzzled.

But she did.

He didn't care about Eunuch Cao standing next to him.

Straight away.

This was the first time she held Xue Mu's hand.

Although he is a man, the skin on his hands is smooth and tender.

While grabbing it, Nangongxue's heartbeat also gradually accelerated.

His face was slightly red.

It's just that she thought Xue Mu couldn't see, so she didn't think it mattered much.

At this time, Xue Mu asked Eunuch Cao: "Eunuch Cao, now tell Mr. Nangong, which bedroom is the place where the first crime happened?"

"it is good."

Eunuch Cao immediately stepped forward to have a look, and then said, "This is the first one."

After Nangongxue glanced at the palace map, she moved Xue Mu's hand over.

"the second."

"The third."

Soon, following Nangong Xue's pointing.

Xue Mu gradually discovered that these connected points seemed to point to a place.

So, he tried to move his hand to the place he guessed, and asked, "Where is this place?"

"This is the cold palace." Eunuch Cao answered immediately after seeing it.

"Lenggong?"

"Yes."

"No well?"

"No."

Nangong Xue heard something strange, she asked Xue Mudao: "What's wrong? Do you think there is a problem with this?"

Xue Mu replied: "Have you noticed that these murder cases are connected like a line? It seems to be pointing us to something."

Nangongxue looked at the map, then went through it in her mind again, and then said in surprise: "The connection of this line is definitely not accidental."

"Yes, even if there were imperial guards guarding him before, the murderer chose to be with Rong Rong after careful consideration." Xue Mu nodded.

Eunuch Cao was in a fog while listening.

He doesn't know what to do next?
I saw Xue Mu talking to him: "Eunuch Cao, this case is probably related to the concubines in the Leng Palace, and I need your help to tell us all the concubines in the Leng Palace."

"Ah?" Eunuch Cao was so frightened that he didn't know what to say.

He stammered: "This, this, this is probably not very good."

"Eunuch Cao, Madam just said that you have to help us if we need anything, why don't I talk to Madam?" Xue Mu reminded.

When Eunuch Cao saw that he had brought out the Empress Empress to suppress him, he could only say, "Alright then, let's talk about it in another place."

"Okay." Nangongxue nodded.

Then just as she was leaving, she found that Xue Mu was still in place, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Mu knew that this time he might not have the chance to re-extend the map of the palace, so he decided to leave first, and then secretly re-extend the map when he had a chance.

So he said, "It's okay, let's go."

And after they left, the maid at the side also stepped forward to put away the map of the palace, and walked into the bed behind the screen.

At this moment, Lan Jiuyun was leaning on the edge of the bed, and when she saw her walk in, she asked, "Have they left?"

"Report to Empress Empress, they have already left." The servant replied.

"it is good."

Lan Jiuyun actually heard their deduction just now, and he admired Xue Mu in his heart.

She did not expect that a blind man could find out such important information through the memory in his mind.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Lan Jiuyun couldn't help laughing.

Now she is waiting for Xue Mu to settle the case in the past seven days. If the murderer can be found, she will naturally reward him with a request.

But if there is no clue within seven days, don't blame her for being cold-blooded and heartless.

On the other side, Eunuch Cao led them to a small room.

As soon as Nangongxue entered, she felt that the room was extremely smelly.

Eunuch Cao explained in embarrassment that this is the resting place for their eunuchs, and the conditions are a bit crude, please forgive me.

Xue Mu didn't take it seriously, what he cared about now was the concubines in the cold palace.

He believed that there must be unusual characters in it.

"Eunuch Cao, please tell us something." Xue Mu asked.

Eunuch Cao sighed and said, "Actually, two old slaves have served the concubines in the cold palace."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"In fact, there are not many concubines in the cold palace. In the early years, His Majesty often came to the harem to favor him, so at this time, most of the concubines in the harem also look forward to His Majesty's arrival."

"It's just that His Majesty was diligent in government affairs later on."

When he said this, Eunuch Cao's face was obviously a little embarrassed.

Yes, he lied.

The later Emperor Qing was not diligent in government affairs, but obsessed with alchemy, so he didn't come to the harem often.

But of course he couldn't say that.

Once it is said, it is a serious crime of beheading.

Xue Mu and Nangongxue naturally also knew that Eunuch Cao's statement of "being diligent in government affairs" was false, but they didn't pay too much attention to it, and instead let Eunuch Cao continue.

Eunuch Cao continued: "Later, there was a concubine who couldn't stand such a repressed life and clamored to leave the palace. After His Majesty learned about it, he put her in the cold palace and made her live under the red wall for the rest of her life."

"What's the name of this concubine?"

"This concubine is Concubine Lan."

Xue Mu asked again: "About how many years ago?"

"It should have been ten years ago."

Xue Mu also secretly remembered the time when he heard it.

"Okay, Eunuch Cao, you can continue."

"There is another concubine who lied that she was pregnant with a dragon seed, but was found out to be false by His Majesty, and was thrown into limbo in a fit of anger. This concubine is named Ning Guiren."

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Cao mentioned three or four concubines who had been thrown into limbo.

But Xue Mu didn't think they were related to this case.

When Eunuch Cao talked about Concubine Yu, he listened seriously.

"That concubine Yu is a beautiful woman, and she is also very considerate to her servants. She often rewards some eunuchs and maids around her with silver taels."

Hearing this, Nangongxue was very puzzled: "If this is the case, why is this concubine Yu still thrown into the cold palace?"

Eunuch Cao sighed: "It's just that she accidentally pushed the Eldest Prince into the pond, and the Eldest Prince almost had an accident. His Majesty was very angry, so he cast her into limbo."

"When did this happen?"

"It happened five years ago." Eunuch Cao thought for a while, and then affirmed.

Hearing this time, Nangong Xue and Xue Mu thought for a while.

Seeing their appearance, Eunuch Cao asked, "Could it be that the two adults think this matter has something to do with Concubine Yu?"

Xue Mu nodded: "It's hard to say. If someone helped her get revenge on Concubine Lan before, it is estimated that not many people would know her in the past ten years."

"Yes." Eunuch Cao nodded: "That's true. The eunuchs and servants in the palace have either died or left the palace in the past ten years. Few people in the palace now know Concubine Lan."

"But Concubine Yu is different. What happened five years ago, the timeline is very short. If someone helped her avenge her, maybe she was young at that time, but now she is capable." Xue Mu said again.

"Who could it be?" Eunuch Cao was a little puzzled.

"It could be a maidservant or eunuch who has been gifted by her, or a sister concubine who is also Jinlan. It's all possible. Now our only clue is to go to the Leng Palace." Xue Mu replied.

Hearing this, Eunuch Cao was very surprised.

You know, to go to the Leng Palace, unless His Majesty personally ordered it, no one would be able to open the door of that Leng Palace.

Nangongxue thought of this, and finally said: "I will handle this matter."
