Murong Ci lay on the bed and watched him take out the quilt and spread it on the floor, then wrap it around his body, turning into a firm rice dumpling.
She squinted her eyes and warned fiercely: "Don't climb up in the middle of the night."
Murong Yu nodded like a bullied little daughter-in-law, and said with all grievances: "His Royal Highness, go to bed quickly."
She turned around in satisfaction, and said coldly: "I warn you, if you dare to climb up, you will see what I do."
One hand stretched out into the air and slowly clenched into a fist, looking very powerful.
He curled up, as if in fear, "I see."
In the dead of night, there are shadows in the bedroom.
After a cup of tea, the weak breathing sound on the bed became even and slow. He got up on the bed and took her in his arms.
Murong Ci didn't wake up, as if he was afraid of the cold, he rubbed against his arms and found a comfortable position to fall asleep.
He brushed away the cloud-like black hair on her back, and kissed softly on the back of Yubai's neck and fragrant shoulders.
After dawn, Murong Ci opened his eyes and saw that the people and quilts on the ground had disappeared, so he couldn't help being stunned.
Ruyi came in with warm water for washing, "Your Highness, get up when you wake up."
"That didn't happen this morning." Murong Ci wiped his nose, and sneered around uncomfortably.
"It's okay, there are no palace people to report, the palace should be peaceful." Ruyi smiled.
"" Murong Ci got off the bed silently.
What people want to ask is not those murder cases or others, but whether she has seen Murong Yu leave or something like that.
While having breakfast, she asked Qin Ruo: "Is there nothing to do in the morning today?"
Qin Ruo replied: "It should be fine. If something important happens, someone from the palace should report it."
Murong Ci ate silently, in other words, Murong Yu had already got up to go to court.
Well, he was sensible and didn't go to her bed.
Shen Zhiyan brought Lan Mengse and Cao Mama into the palace early to identify the corpse, and when Murong Ci arrived at Tingxue Pavilion, they also arrived.
Lan Meng's brimming apricot eyes were red, she had obviously cried, and so did Madam Cao, her face was full of sadness.
"Before you identify the corpses, I must tell you that the two female corpses have no heads. Can you?" he said gently.
"It's okay, let's go take a look."
Lan Mengse's eye sockets were red again, and the eyes were full of water, with a sad and heartbroken expression.
She and Madam Cao walked into the hall of Tingxue Pavilion, step by step, slowly and firmly.
Shen Zhiyan lifted the white cloth from the dead body, and when they got close to the dead body, tears burst down like pearls with broken strings, pattering to the ground.
"Do you remember that they have birthmarks or red moles on their bodies?" Murong Ci asked softly.
"Let's think about it." Cao Mama's voice choked with grief, "I remember Ruowei has a relatively large red mole on the inside of her left leg."
As she spoke, she inspected the corpses with trembling hands, and sure enough, one of the corpses had a red mole on the inside of her left leg.
She cried sadly: "It's really Ruowei"
Lan Mengse suddenly picked up the other corpse's hand, looked at the jade bracelet, and wept sadly, "I recognize this jade bracelet. Ruoxuan said it was her mother's relic, and she always wore it on her hand. Ruoxuan Sister, sister Ruowei, you have died so badly."
She and Mammy Cao embraced each other and wept in great grief.
Murong Ci also felt uncomfortable, and said softly: "My condolences to you two."
Lan Mengsa pulled her wide sleeves and begged sadly: "My lords, you must catch their murderers and avenge Ruoxuan and Ruowei."
Murong Ci said: "We will do our best."
Shen Zhiyan said: "Miss Lan, why don't you go out of the palace first. If necessary, I will look for you again."
Lan Mengse and Cao Mama nodded and left weeping.
"Your Highness, now that the identities of the two deceased have been confirmed, we can conduct an in-depth investigation. Unfortunately, there are no clues right now." He said seriously.
"Let's sort out the people who had contact with the two deceased first." Murong Ci walked to the case, took a pen and ink and wrote the first name on the white paper.
"Mr. Li has plans for the Lan sisters. He once bullied them in Deyue Tower, and later wanted to hear them sing. But we found out that Mr. Li probably hasn't seen them in the past half month. In the palace, Mr. Li can't do anything to them. Moreover, with Mr. Li's ability, he should not be able to reach into the palace." Shen Zhi said.
"Mr. Qin and Ben Gong had a relationship with the Lan sisters on both sides. I don't know if Mr. Qin has seen them again." She continued to write the second name and analyzed, "Lan Ruoxuan likes Mr. Qin, but they There is no dispute with Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin should have no reason to kill them."
"Lan Feise, one of the three beauties of Zhuijinfang in Yangzhou, married Jiang Zhubu of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion as the second wife. During this half month, whether the Lan sisters had disputes with Lan Feise and Jiang Zhubu is uncertain. I know. But with their ability, they probably don’t have the ability to reach into the palace and kill people.”
"The boss of Zhuijinfang might send someone to Beijing secretly to bring the Lan sisters back to Yangzhou, but what the boss wants is a person, and it's not good for him if the person dies, and the bamboo basket will be empty."
"Whether Deyue Tower, Longsheng Inn, or the people inside have any problems with the Lan sisters is unknown, but it should be impossible to commit murder in the palace."
"The Lan sisters sang songs for many distinguished guests. Could it be that some nobleman has taken a fancy to them and intends to take them as concubines by force, but they are unwilling. Later, when the nobleman heard that they had entered the palace and became the maids of the Jiaofang Division, they sent Killing people in secret to vent their hatred." Murong Ci boldly guessed, "Zhiyan, do you think this is possible?"
"What did the Lan sisters leave behind in the capital map? Do they want to roll around in the wind and dust all their lives, singing songs until they grow old and fading? I think they want to find a good husband, whether it is a wife or a concubine, as long as they live If they are stable and have no worries about food and clothing, they should be content." Shen Zhiyan pondered, "If the rich and powerful look at them and are willing to take them as concubines, I think they should be willing."
"Did you forget that Lan Ruoxuan likes Mr. Qin, and she is a girl with her own opinions, I think she should not be willing. Besides, once a woman has a sweetheart and is deeply involved in feelings, she is not willing to let it go, not Accept other men." She analyzed clearly.
"Your Highness said so, there is some truth. Excluding these, only Mr. Qin has the ability to strike in the palace, but why did he kill the Lan sisters for no reason?" He felt his head hurt from thinking about it.
Murong Ci resolutely said: "Young Master Qin is an exception, find a chance to ask him again. Now our focus of investigation is on the palace, the Jiaofang Secretary, people who have had contact with the Lan sisters, etc."
Shen Zhiyan agreed, "Ask a few more palace maids of the Jiaofang Division. It would be great if we could find their heads."
After confirming the direction of investigation, they smiled knowingly, but it was a smile of joy in bitterness.
Immediately, they went to Jiaofang Division to investigate.
Dusk shrouded the palace with carved beams and painted buildings.
On this day, they got nothing, Shen Zhiyan bid farewell to His Highness and left the palace, Murongci returned to the East Palace weakly.
Someone rushed from behind, she and Qin Ruo turned around and saw that the servant seemed to be someone from Cunmo Pavilion.
"His Royal Highness, the prince is here to invite you." The servant said respectfully.
"Go back and tell Yu Wang that I won't go." Murong Ci raised his head coldly, asking her to go, will she just go
"My lord said that it's about Baihualou, Your Highness must go to Cunmo Pavilion." The servant lowered his head and said.
She didn't have the strength to get angry anymore, the damned Murong Yu was so confident because he pinched her weakness.
When she arrived at Cunmo Pavilion, she smelled the aroma of the food, and the Wu Zang Temple sang the empty city plan, and she couldn't help touching her belly.
The servant said that the prince was in the dining room, so she went to the dining room immediately.
Murong Yu was sitting in front of the table. There were six dishes, one soup and one soup on the table, and they were still steaming, which showed that they were served not long ago.
"Your Highness, please sit down." He waved his hand hospitablely and smiled slightly.
"I want Ben Gong to accompany you to eat." She sat down rudely, since she was already here anyway, she was so hungry that she had to eat first. However, this man is quite frugal.
The servant retreated knowingly, pulled Qin Ruo outside, and closed the door.
Murong Yu scooped up a bowl of fish soup and put it in front of her, "Eat it."
Murong Ci feasted his appetite, and asked while eating the fish soup: "Have you found the lair of Baihualou?"
In contrast, he was more elegant, "It is, but I don't know if it is true or not. I am not sure if it is the smoke released by Baihualou or a trap set."
"Where is Baihualou's lair?" she asked directly.
"I'll go tomorrow, do you want to go?" He threw out a big bait.
"Of course I will."
"Aren't you going to investigate the murder of a headless female corpse?"
"The murder case has not progressed, so let's put it on hold."
"It's okay to let you go, I have one condition."
"What conditions?" Murong Ci felt intuitively that the conditions he proposed would be unacceptable.
"Rest well tonight and recharge your spirits." Murong Yu's tone was unbelievably light, and he didn't even look at her.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's great that he doesn't bother her, she can refresh her energy
He held a piece of beef and handed it to her lips, "Eat more."
She stretched out the bowl to pick it up, in order to find Baihualou's lair tomorrow, she fought hard, "Put it in the bowl."
His eyes are as gentle as light feathers, "Open your mouth."
In order to find Baihualou smoothly, she reluctantly opened her mouth and ate the piece of beef, her heart was sour and sweet, she didn't know what it was like.
Finally finished eating, they stood up at the same time, Murong Yu beckoned to her, she had no choice but to lean over, "What are you doing?"
"Beef juice on the lips."
He approached unexpectedly, licked a little of the beef juice on her lips, and in the next instant, kissed her lips quickly, short and forcefully.
Murong Ci glared at him angrily, pulled his wide sleeves and wiped his mouth vigorously.
He hugged her in his arms, "Are you full?"
"I'm full, I'm going back." She said while rejecting, thinking about what will happen tomorrow, she withdrew her hands.
"I'm not full yet."
"Then you continue to eat."
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
