Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 114 Serial Murder Cases
"It's very simple. You are responsible for helping me find girls under the age of 12. As long as I drink their blood essence, my mana will be greatly improved." Lu Yun's eyes turned cold, and her voice was slightly sinister.

The teacup in his hand shook suddenly, and the teacup fell down, dripping water stains all over the table.Xia Muyao looked at Lu Yun in fear, and asked lately, "What will happen to those girls if they are sucked blood?"

"It's not your turn to worry. You are only responsible for finding someone for me. Don't forget, if I hadn't helped you, how could you have married Cheng Wang? Also, if you still want to avenge your mother , just listen to me. If you dare to betray me, no one will feel better about it!" Lvyun stood up, swung his sleeves suddenly, and his figure turned into a green light, and quickly disappeared.

Watching Luyun leave, Xia Muyao's fingers trembled, she poured a cup of tea and held it in a panic, thinking about how to plan so that she could quietly find a girl under the age of 12 and give it to Luyun to suck Blood.

Just as Yu Shengchi came from the study, he saw Xia Muyao sitting alone in the hut drinking tea from a distance, and when he approached her, he noticed her frightened expression, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"It's okay, it's just that I feel flustered suddenly." Xia Muyao shook her head with a pale face, forcing a smile.

Yu Shengchi looked at it suspiciously for a while, then nodded slowly: "Since you're not feeling well, you should rest more, I still have something to do, you can stay at the mansion by yourself, if you're bored, you can have someone accompany you around."

Xia Muyao nodded, frowned and asked, "Where is the lord going?"

"Some things need to be dealt with, go see a few ministers."

Yu Shengchi answered casually, and suddenly remembered something: "Princess Tonghua's birthday is in a few days, and when the time comes, this king will bring you into the palace together."

"The concubine is under the arrangement of the prince." Xia Muyao smiled and nodded.Originally, she was still thinking about finding a way to enter the palace, but she didn't expect that it would be Princess Tonghua's birthday in a few days, so it would be a very good opportunity.

Yu Shengchi nodded, said no more, turned around and strode out.

The fear in Xia Muyao's eyes gradually turned into ruthless determination. Looking at Yu Chengchi's back, she sneered: "Xia Ningxi, you wait for me. I will take care of what you cherish, what you care about, and what you have. Destroy it drop by drop with your own hands!"

Assassin affairs found out some clues, Yunchen went back to Xiangfu, sat quietly in the study, sorted out the clues found in the past few days, and frowned slightly.

Just as he was lost in thought, the housekeeper Yun Zhao walked to the door of the study, followed by Zhou Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment.

Yun Zhao stopped at the door and raised his hand to greet him: "Shangshu Zhou, please come in."

Yun Chen came back to his senses, raised his sleeves, and looked at Zhou Shangshu suspiciously.

"The next official sees the Prime Minister." Zhou Shangshu cupped his hands and saluted with a humble attitude.

Yun Chen raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and asked: "Zhou Shangshu suddenly came to see the truth, what's the matter?"

Zhou Shangshu sighed deeply in embarrassment, and handed a dossier in front of Yun Chen, his brows furrowed: "Master, please take a look."

Yun Chen took the case file, opened it and checked it carefully.

Zhou Shangshu sighed, and said in a muffled voice: "In the past month, there have been several murder cases in the suburbs of the city, and the deaths are all girls under the age of 12. The officials have spent the past few days on this case, so to speak. Brain, I didn't find any clues. That's why I took the liberty to come to Xiangfu."

"Murder, girls under the age of 12." Yun Chen frowned while watching: "What are the identities of the dead girls?"

"Today, five or six girls have died. They were all peasant children from humble backgrounds. When they died, their blood was sucked dry, like mummified corpses."

"Have these children provoked any suspicious people?"

"The lower officials have checked carefully. According to the elders of the girls, they have not encountered any suspicious people. The girls were all taken away during the day, and they were found dead in the backing of the mountain the next day."

"Could it be that it's not artificial?"

Yun Chen's heart trembled, he took a breath and raised his eyes to look at Zhou Shangshu: "You go back first, the truth will arrange someone to assist you in handling this matter."

"Then I will leave first." Zhou Shangshu cupped his hands, turned and left.

Yun Chen let out a breath, frowned, weighed the case file in his hand, stood up and told the servant beside him: "Prepare the carriage and go to the East Palace."

"Yes." The servant hurriedly responded, and ran out to arrange the carriage.

As usual, he played cards all day in Qiushui Pavilion. Since the side concubines were all human beings, after these few days of exploration, they seemed to have become veterans of the game.Xia Ningxi didn't have very good poker skills, so naturally she didn't have much advantage to take advantage of, so she left the game early, leaving the others to continue playing.

Back in the East Palace, she walked up to Yu Xuanzhen and sat down, casually picked up a memorial, glanced at it, and sighed with her chin in her hand, and said: "Tomorrow, I will take Xiao Putao out of the palace to find Bai Luo. , this palace is really boring."

Yu Xuanzhen put away the cinnabar pen and looked up at her, smiled lightly and said, "You can go wherever you want, and I will let Luo Qing follow you."

"Come on, it's better for Luo Qing to stay by your side to protect me. I don't need someone to protect me." Xia Ningxi waved her hand, walked to his side and sat beside him, tilting her head to look at the contents of the memorial.

Yu Xuanzhen didn't mind her watching, and said casually: "The above are all things that don't hurt or itch, and there's nothing to see. What Gu cares most about now is actually the border war. , Canglan Country, Chaoyue Country, all countries are about to move, and the wars continue, if this continues, the people of the world will continue to fall into dire straits."

With a mocking smile, he sighed deeply: "But the royal families of all countries still continue to exercise power for the sake of the crown prince. As the saying goes, if the family is safe, the country is safe, and the royal family is an example for the world. Such open and secret fighting, brother-in-law fighting, really is not something I just want to see."

Xia Ningxi listened carefully, looked at him with a smile and said, "Yu Xuanzhen, if you become the emperor in the future, you will definitely be a famous emperor through the ages."

"With my own strength, how can I secure the world."

Yu Xuanzhen held her hand and smiled softly: "Gu still needs help from many people, including you, including Yunchen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Chen just followed a palace servant outside the hall, walked quickly to the bottom of the steps, and bowed his hands: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Xuanzhen frowned, and said: "Yunchen, you have been coming to the East Palace quite frequently these days, if you let the courtiers know, it will inevitably be criticized."

Yun Chen let out a sigh of relief, and said annoyedly: "I don't want to come to the East Palace, but I came today because I want to borrow someone from His Highness, how can I borrow someone if I don't come to the East Palace?"

Yu Xuanzhen frowned, and asked in doubt: "Who do you want to borrow from Gu? Luo Qing or Ziling?"

"neither."

Yun Chen paused, and his eyes fell on Xia Ningxi: "The one I want to borrow from His Royal Highness is the Crown Princess Concubine. I hope His Highness will allow the Crown Prince Concubine to help the Ministry of Criminal Investigation investigate a case."
