Mr. Yang added: "The ancient country of Jialan has been annihilated for sixty years, and its illusion must have been lost."
Murong Yu waved his hand, Young Master Yang bowed and retreated.
Not long after, Wuying came in and asked, "My lord, can you take Mr. Yang's words seriously?"
Murong Yu pondered for a while, then said: "Illusion is one of the three major secret arts of the ancient Jialan country, even if the heir of the illusion is still in the world, he will not use it easily."
Wuying said: "Then the subordinate will send an order to continue to search for news about the three major secret arts."
After he stepped back, Murong Yu picked up the thin booklet Jia Lan Ji on the case, the dim light of the lamp shone on his handsome face, the brilliance was faint and the shadows were indistinct.
He is determined to win the ancient Jialan country.
Fengtian Hall is a palace dedicated to the sacred cards of the ancestors of the Murong family, and is guarded by palace people.
Usually, Fengtian Hall is solemn and solemn, few people come, it is very quiet, only when offering sacrifices will it be more lively.
This morning, many palace people gathered in front of the hall, forming a circle, and no one dared to get close to the middle of the circle, watching the discussion from a distance.
"It's so scary. What are those things?" A court lady huddled against her companion, her face full of horror.
"It seems to be jade." A servant guessed.
"It should be a blood jade." Another servant added, "I worked in the warehouse of the imperial concubine's Zhaoyang Palace, and I saw blood jade."
"Blood jades are extremely rare, why are there so many jades in Fengtian Palace and these blood jades seem to be bleeding, it's too scary." The maid trembled with fear and didn't dare to look any more.
"My lord is here," someone shouted.
The onlookers immediately opened up a gap and bowed to pay respects: "My lord."
Liu An, the chief servant, came striding over with his whisk in his arms, followed by ten young servants, who were all impressive.
He was in his fifties, his hair was mostly gray, his face covered with fine lines was ruddy, his brows and eyes were straight, exuding a bit of majesty.
With a flick of his whisk, he said in a high-pitched voice, "It's all gone."
The palace people retreated one after another, and a few scattered and went back to work.
Looking at the blood jade scattered on the ground, Liu An breathed in strangely, puzzled.
He raised his voice and asked: "What's going on here, where is the Fengtian Temple that was discovered first?"
A servant who was about fifty years old walked quickly, bowed and said: "My lord, the servant is the enshrinement and promotion of Fengtian Temple. This is Xiaoyin, who works with the servant in Fengtian Temple. This morning, the servant and him cleaned the Fengtian Temple. Hall, these things were found after cleaning."
The young servant next to him, Xiao Yin, was about eighteen years old, with delicate features, red lips and fair complexion.
Although he lowered his head, one can see the outline of his face which is both rigid and soft.
Liu An's favored servant, Xiaoyingzi, whispered in his ear: "My lord, this is a big deal. It would be better if these unlucky things appeared in other palaces. The place of the ancestors. These blood jades appeared out of thin air, and shed so much blood, it must not be a trivial matter. Just to be cautious, the servant feels that it should be reported to Concubine Xiao and the regent."
Liu An patted him on the shoulder, "Your brain is finally clear."
Xiaoyingzi reminded me well that this matter seems to be unimportant, but this is Fengtian Temple, and he can't bear it if something serious happens.
Therefore, he immediately sent someone to report to Concubine Xiao Gui and the Regent, and by the way also sent someone to report to the Prince.
Not long after, the prince came in a hurry.
In the past few years, the old emperor has been licentious and fatuous, and all the political affairs of the court have been handed over to the regent, and the affairs of the inner palace are taken care of by Concubine Xiao and the chief servant. Therefore, in the past five years, Liu An has grown in power, formed a faction of his own, and secretly colluded with Concubine Xiao Gui, and has always shown little respect for the idiot prince.
Seeing that the prince was coming, he just saluted symbolically, thinking that the idiot prince would actually come.
The palace people had dispersed and whispered.
Murong Ci stared at the scarlet pool of blood, more than twenty blood jades of various shapes lay in the pool of blood, it was shocking.
It was already early summer, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather was getting hotter. The blood began to solidify and turn black under the sun's rays.
She knelt down and stretched out a finger to get some blood, but Qin Ruo hurriedly stopped her: "Your Highness, don't touch it, be careful it's poisonous."
Murong Ci ignored it, got a little blood on his finger, and sniffed it close to his nose.
this is human blood
She gestured to Qin Ruo, and Qin Ruo raised her voice, "Where is the enshrinement in the Fengtian Temple?"
Jin Sheng hurried over with Xiao Yin, kowtowed and saluted.
"When did you find out?" Murong Ci asked.
"The servant finished cleaning the Fengtian Temple, about three quarters of the time, and found it at three quarters of the time." Jin Sheng replied.
She calculated the time, and it was not long after Si time, that is, it was less than half an hour before the time of discovery.
Qin Ruo asked: "Before and after you found out, did you notice anything unusual near Fengtian Temple?"
Xiaoyin shook his head, and replied: "At that time, the servant and Xiaoyin were cleaning Fengtian Temple, and didn't find anything unusual."
Murongci winked at Qin Ruo, then walked towards Fengtian Hall.
Qin Ruo and the maids brought a few pieces of silk handkerchief, and hugged two pieces of blood
Yu is ready to take away.
The front of Fengtian Hall is the main hall, and the back is the sleeping hall, which is very magnificent. Murong Ci looked it over carefully, but found nothing unusual.
When she came out, she saw Murong Yu just arrived.
Murong Yu stood under the bright sunlight of early summer, his whole body was shrouded in a faint golden halo, like a god.
He looked towards her, his black eyes narrowed slightly, that unearthly handsome face was as clear and clear as a cloud in the early morning, overwhelming all sentient beings.
Just for a moment, as if a year is so long.
He turned his head and told Liu An: "Send someone to Dali Temple, and invite Mr. Gu, the Minister of Dali Temple."
Murong Ci originally wanted to go over to have a look, but he held back and turned to the east.
Murong Yu saw her go east, so he squatted down, his cold eyes fell on the pool of blood.
There are no east and west side halls in Fengtian Temple, so there are trees and grass on the east and west sides. Murong Ci walked slowly, not missing an inch of corner.
Suddenly, she found a few shallow footprints on the grass on the west side.
The place where the footprints are located happens to be thin green grass, so they are clearly visible.
She gently put her own foot on it for comparison. The footprint was larger than hers, and it should be the footprint of a man.
Perhaps, this set of footprints was left by the perpetrators.
Well, the perpetrator is a man
Also, nothing else was found.
When Murong Ci returned to the scene of the incident, Dali Temple Minister Gu Huai hurried over with Dali Temple Young Minister Shen Zhiyan.
"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, and to the prince." They bent down and saluted.
"Excuse me. Master Gu and Master Shen, take a look." Murong Yu said.
Gu Huai also squatted down to inspect, Shen Zhiyan walked towards Murong Ci, with a breeze-like smile on Qingjun's face, "What did your Highness find?"
Murong Ci glared at him, "Do business."
He immediately restrained his smile and carefully inspected the pool of blood.
Murong Yu saw them talking and laughing casually, and suddenly felt that the sunlight was a bit dazzling.
Shen Zhiyan is the eldest son of the crown prince's grandfu Shen Qingtong, who is four years older than the crown prince, but he has been the prince's companion since childhood, and the two have a close relationship and a very strong friendship.
Although he is only twenty-two years old, he prefers to solve murders and conduct autopsies to track down murderers. Four years ago, he helped Jingzhao Mansion solve five important cases. Gu Huai appreciated his talent and hired him out of the ordinary. In the past few years, he has been promoted steadily. He is already the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
The eldest son of the crown prince and grand master Shen's family, with a dignified appearance, clean and elegant, with a beautiful tree facing the wind, he has attracted the favor of many women in the boudoir. However, when those women heard that he likes to touch those corpses for inspection, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they all retreated. Therefore, he has not yet married a wife.
Gu Huai understood the basic situation and lowered his head in thought.
"Your Highness, lord, my lord, this is human blood." Shen Zhiyan said firmly, holding up a piece of blood jade with his bare hands and studying it against the sun, "This is indeed a blood jade. Blood jade is extremely rare and precious, what about Fengtian Palace?" So many blood jades will suddenly appear.”
"Even the warehouse in the palace only has five blood jades." Murong Yu frowned slightly.
"Your Highness just looked around, and I don't know what you found." Shen Zhiyan asked, and took out a black cloth to wrap the two blood jades.
"Nothing was found inside or outside Fengtian Hall." Murong Ci's small face was shrouded in sunlight, and his bright eyes were shining brightly. "This blood is extremely fresh. It can be seen that it was taken from a person not long ago. Judging from the amount of blood, it should be the blood of two people." quantity."
"Your Highness has a thorough analysis, and I admire you." He clapped his palms and smiled brilliantly, his flattery was too obvious, which did not match his clear and elegant image.
Gu Huaiqing coughed, and Shen Zhiyan suppressed his smile, but he didn't care at all.
Murong Yu's eyes were cold, "It must be that someone put these blood jade and blood here to play tricks, but I don't know what the purpose is."
After all, he was surprised, the prince's mind is not bad.
Gu Huai cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the next official will definitely investigate and find out."
"It's the blood jade from the sky, it's really the blood jade from the sky"
A sharp voice suddenly burst out from the palace people watching around.
Everyone looked over there, Gu Huai raised his voice and asked: "Who is making noise? If you find out, stand up and explain to me."
A maid came over shyly, saluted all the high-ranking people, and then said: "This servant is a maid from the Liushang Bureau. Two days ago, this servant followed Yinshang Palace out of the palace to make purchases. I overheard some seven or eight-year-olds on the street. Children sing songs, and there are blood jade in the songs"
"Do you remember the ballad? Sing it for us." Shen Zhiyan said.
"Your servant remembers." The maid sang aloud, "Moonlight shines on the underworld, and blood jade appears. Jade steals the country."
Murong Ci secretly thought, how could such a song suddenly appear in the capital
Murong Yu's face was as cold as iron, as if he was deep in thought.
"This song is quite nice."
Shen Zhiyan's smile was bright and charming, but when he saw Gu Huai's stern face, his smile disappeared immediately.
The court lady said: "There are so many blood jades in Fengtian Palace, isn't it just sung in the ballad?"
