From the obscure eunuch by queen mother's side to the number one or two in the imperial palace, he wanted to protect her and prevent her to force a smile and court him, let alone her having to endure the pain of losing her flesh and blood. He wanted to support her and help her distance herself from the disputes of the imperial harem.

But her?

Why couldn't she wait?

Xiang Yi got off the bed, stepped on her shoes, and slowly walked to the door. The moment she opened the door, a strange force suddenly rushed in.

Xiang Yi frowned, and almost reflexively jumped, avoiding the door.

The door opened, and a putrid stench came in. Following that, a black object was thrown into the house, revealing the pale white moonlight, Xiang Yi could easily see that it was a human head.

And the owner of that head was no other than the young eunuch who had been on guard tonight.

Xiang Yi took a deep breath, she quickly turned his body and picked up the sword on the wall, unsheathing it with her sharp and fast movements, she was obviously a martial artist too.

However, it was too dark outside and he could not see through the door clearly. He did not dare to rashly move forward, so he could only call out with a probing voice, "Who exactly is it!? "Come out!"

"What a big show." A clear male voice came from outside the door.

Subsequently, a white figure slowly walked in.

The person entered the house, his gaze accurately looking at Xiang Yi, seeing the sword in Xiang Yi's hand, he snorted with contempt and said: What, giving you a huge gift, and even trying to pull the sword out to me?

Xiang Yi narrowed her eyes, "Who exactly are you? What do you want to do? "

"I'm here to give you a present. Didn't I say it just now?" The white clothed man said casually, his eyes looking at the head on the ground, and said: "An extremely perceptive Eunuch Xiang, it's impossible that she didn't notice that this little eunuch, is the spy sent to you by the Emperor?"

Xiang Yi did not utter a word, she pursed her lips, she was carefully observing his opponent's strength, but no matter what, she could not see through his opponent.

This discovery was very terrifying, because it meant that he was absolutely not a match for the opponent.

The white clothed man saw that Xiang Yi did not make a sound, and laughed again: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Xiang Yi said in a heavy voice, "You are going to help me in this way?"

"This method isn't good?" The man in white assumed a casual stance, his lips curving into a smile from beginning to end. "You're going to be exposed soon."

Xiang Yi pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know that." The other party said confidently, "You are well aware that you are not in a good position right now. But let me tell you, you are not his match."

"Just who are you!" He was very nervous in his heart, and tonight, he was feeling extremely weird. That dream just now, was more like a reminder to him that after tonight, anything would become different.

The white clothed man did not answer, but, he laughed again, laughing even more easily than before, but when the laughter entered Xiang Yi's ears, it was actually twisted, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The next day, in the morning.

When Rong Ling opened her eyes, she felt that there was nothing around him.

Lifting his head, he saw that Liu Wei was writing on the round table in his room with his head lowered and his coat draped over his shoulders.

Rong Ling lifted the blanket and sat up, while putting on her clothes, she walked towards Liu Wei.

When he stood behind Liu Wei, he realized that Liu Wei did not notice anything. He frowned, and went to look at what she was writing.

Most of the densely packed words were unfamiliar words. The man didn't understand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Wei's body froze, the hand that was writing also trembled, he lost his brush and drew a black line on the paper. She turned his head and scolded in a bad mood, "You scared me, why is there no sound from walking!"

Rong Ling: "..."

The man pulled back a chair and sat down beside her. He looked at what she had written and asked, "What is it?"

Liu Wei pushed the piece of paper in front of him and said: "Guess what happened on the case."

Rong Ling did not make a sound.

Liu Wei knew that Rong Ling did not understand, so she said: "It is a diagram, and I have listed all the deaths that we know related to the case. It just so happens that I still have some questions to ask you."

Rong Ling took the paper and read it for a while.

He saw that there were indeed many names written on it. The biggest one was Min Imperial Concubine, followed by Shang Imperial Concubine, Yu Ping, Qinyang and even his name.

Liu Wei opened a white piece of paper, dipped the brush in ink and looked at Rong Ling as she asked, "We all know that Min Imperial Concubine died about ten years ago. The imperial physician who reported the cause of death reported that he was unable to treat a serious illness.

Rong Ling thought for a while, then said: "At that time, I was highly valued by royal father, and I spent most of my time working outside, rarely entering the palace."

"So you haven't seen how the Min Imperial Concubine is really bedridden?"

Rong Ling replied: "Mhm."

Liu Wei recorded this information and asked: What about Xiang Yi? "Do you have any impression of him?"

Rong Ling paused for a moment, her brows knitted, as if she had thought of something.

Liu Wei said: "You came back late last night, so I didn't have time to tell you. Yesterday, when I was investigating the case of the Princess Qinyang, I met with some trouble in obtaining evidence. I didn't insist on going in to check, because I knew that even if I did go in, what I was looking for would definitely be gone. But I am afraid Eunuch Xiang did not expect that his deliberate action would arouse my suspicions. Right now, in my opinion, the things in the house of Princess Qinyang are secondary, if I were to uncover the background of this Eunuch Xiang, it would become even more important. Quickly tell me, do you remember this Eunuch Xiang? "

Rong Ling seemed to hesitate, she muttered to herself for a long time, and then said: "Eunuch Xiang, I was once in front of you."

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and immediately went to find the that she placed on display yesterday. She spread it out and pointed at Rong Ling: "Let me guess, what was the relationship between Eunuch Xiang and the Min Imperial Concubine before this. Are there any signs of disharmony between master and servant? "

Rong Ling looked at the clean and well maintained picture scroll, stared at the quiet and pretty woman, then looked at the smiling little eunuch behind her, and his eyes sunk.
