Song Qingjin was actually very scared.After all, night is the umbrella for crime.However, she always felt in her heart that the matter of the old concubine and Su Jieyu might have something to do with Ruibing Palace.

It is estimated that tonight is the eve of the rain, and there are few activities in the palace.Song Qingjin walked towards Ruibing Hall with the lantern in her hand.Looking up, there was no one on the long palace road, accompanied by the pitch-black night, several stone palace lanterns were turned off, and no one else would be bothered to light them.

Song Qingjin walked carefully step by step.I don't know how long it took before arriving at the entrance of Ruibing Palace.The door was still closed, but it was pushed open by Song Qingjin without any effort.

Song Qingjin tightened the lantern in her hand, followed by the "squeak" sound of the wooden door, and walked in carefully step by step.

The place that was a bit scary to look at at first, but now it is even more scary under the darkness of night.Song Qingjin walked cautiously, looked back again, and after making sure that there was no one on the road outside the door, she closed the door again, held up a lantern, and looked around.

Song Qingjin walked around half of the yard, but found no useful clues.She wanted to go back, but the moment she turned around, a bloodstain in the yard caught her attention.Song Qingjin stood there, looked at it for a while, and under the moonlight, saw that the somewhat large bloodstain had turned from red to black, as if it had been a while.

Song Qingjin suppressed the fear in her heart and moved forward step by step.He walked to the bloodstain and squatted down.After thinking for a while, Song Qingjin slowly stretched out her hand and touched the bloodstain.

Still a little wet.Song Qingjin squatted on the ground, gradually lost in thought.This blood spot is very large. Judging from the blood flow, the dead maid probably had her heart and liver removed while she was still alive, and then died here.When the palace lady was lying here, she probably still hadn't breathed out, struggling so hard and shed so much blood.This should be where the murderer committed the crime.

Thinking of this, Song Qingjin felt even more frightened.The one who dared to do such a murder in the deep palace, and now press it again, without being discovered by others, must be a person with deep roots.She made up her mind, stood up, thought for a while, then bent down suddenly, and carefully searched the ground with a lantern.For some reason, the Ruibing Hall, which was not cleaned by anyone, has been cleaned carefully, without even a single leaf.

Song Qingjin frowned tightly.She suddenly felt a chill seep from her back, which made her feel a little terrified.At this moment, she doesn't want to stay here any longer, but wants to leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better.Song Qingjin was about to stand up and leave when she saw something.

Next to the copper palace lantern, and in the gap between a big rock, there is a glowing thing.Song Qingjin looked at it for a while, and took it out with great effort. It turned out that it was a pearl flower worn by a woman.

Before he had time to think about it, he immediately stuffed it into his sleeve.Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the strange voice sounded behind him again.It was like a heavy object falling to the ground, knocking one after another.But unlike the previous days, the voice didn't stop.Instead, it sounded regularly, and seemed to be slowly approaching her.

Song Qingjin clenched the lantern in her hand, and slowly backed away.When approaching the door, the voice suddenly disappeared.Instead, there was a rush of footsteps.Song Qingjin was terrified.She took a step and ran out desperately.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were about to catch up to her.

Song Qingjin screamed in her heart that it was not good, she wouldn't just confess here today!Damn, she has just lived a good life, but she doesn't want to be poached and die miserably.However, just when Song Qingjin was about to be caught by that person, someone covered her mouth and took her to the nearby yard.

That man was so strong that Song Qingjin was led by him to the place near the wall in the yard.Strangely, there was another sound of footsteps outside, which seemed to stop for a while not far away, and then ran away again.At this time, the person who had been covering Song Qingjin's mouth also let her go.With the moonlight and the light of the lantern, Song Qingjin could see clearly that he was a man.

It seemed that it was the man who saved her life just now.Song Qingjin looked at her for a while, and just about to bow down to thank her, the man's cold voice rang in her ears: "Song Qingjin, you are so brave."

familiar voice.But it turned out to be Xiao Yixuan.She immediately knelt down and saluted: "My servant has seen the prince, please forgive me."

Xiao Yixuan sneered: "Song Qingmei, now you are pretending to be good again."

Song Qingjin bit her lip.Seeing that Xiao Yixuan didn't wake her up.Just now I was still in shock, and I didn't care about many rules, so I stood up by myself.He said stiffly: "My lord, this servant is just strolling around. But my lord, why did you come to the palace?"

Xiao Yixuan was dressed in black and had his hair tied up.The veil no longer knew where it had been thrown.Under the light of the lantern in Song Qingjin's hand, his face as white as a crescent moon and his beautiful eyes like amber were revealed.He really lived up to the peerless appearance given to him by the author's own mother.Without the brocade clothes, even if you put on night clothes, you don't look like a thief, but a cosplay.

Song Qingjin couldn't help lowering her head, covered her mouth and smiled.Xiao Yixuan's cold eyes swept over again: "Answer my question."

Song Qingjin looked around for a while, naturally she didn't dare to tell the truth, but said: "No, I just ate too much at night, and I want to go out for a walk, otherwise it will be bad if I accumulate food and get fat."

How could Xiao Yixuan believe her, but grabbed her hand, which was obviously still stained with blood.He asked again: "Still telling the truth?"

Song Qingjin pursed her lips and raised the lantern.However, Xiao Yixuan suddenly grabbed her wrist, pushed her straight to the corner, stretched out his hand to pinch her small chin, and forced Song Qingmei to look up at him.The other hand was still pressed against the wall, tightly blocking her way of retreat.

"Song Qingjin, I advise you to tell the truth to me earlier, otherwise, you will know my tricks." Xiao Yixuan's voice was as cold as ice.

Song Qingjin couldn't help shrinking her neck, and finally told the truth: "My lord, a little maid died in the palace, did you know?"

Xiao Yixuan relaxed the hand holding Song Qingjin's chin, and the two walked towards the old dowager's bedroom together.He said, "And then?"

Song Qingjin continued: "My lord, this servant felt strange, so he sent a little maid under his command to take a peek. They said that the maid had her heart and liver gouged out, and then died there."

Xiao Yixuan paced back and forth under the moonlight, turned to look at her, and said, "Tell me something I don't know."

Song Qingjin looked behind worriedly, and said: "But that little maid didn't understand clearly. The servant girl was also very worried. Because the incident happened near the Ruibing Palace, which is where the prince ordered the servant girl to do things. The servant girl thought about it. , if this dead palace lady gets involved with the prince, it would be bad. That’s why I sneaked into the Ruibing Palace at night when no one was around. Prince, you don’t even know that the servant heard the strange movement just now When I was there, I was almost scared to death."

Xiao Yixuan raised his head slightly, the moonlight shone on his side face, his voice was very low, but Song Qingmei heard it clearly in his ears: "Go on."

Song Qingjin had no choice but to continue: "Going back to the lord, the servant saw the bloodstain just now. If the maid was moved to the Ruibing Palace after she died, there would not be so much blood there. So, that The palace lady was killed in Ruibing Palace. Besides, the palace lady died so tragically, but most people in the palace didn’t know about it. Let me mention it again. According to the muddleheaded thinking of the servant, the murderer or mastermind of the crime must be a person with some foundation in the palace. Otherwise, he would not be able to press down these things so quickly and seal other people's mouths, right? An easy thing."

Xiao Yixuan said lightly: "Is there any more?"

Song Qingjin couldn't help but said: "My lord, you have been telling your servants to tell me, so do you have anything to say?"

Xiao Yixuan turned his head to look at Concubine Song, with slight surprise in his eyes: "Concubine Song, you are getting more and more courageous, and you actually asked me about it."

Song Qingjin was not afraid anymore.Looking at each other, Song Qingmei was not stage frightened, but said: "My lord, let me tell you, you are dressed like a killer with strong martial arts. Although you are a lord, it is not good to enter the palace in the middle of the night. Come here. Even if you want to enter the palace, it will be difficult to get out with your clothes."

Xiao Yixuan sighed, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Same as you. Ruibing Palace is my place, and if someone died in my place, I naturally have to go and have a look."

Song Qingjin secretly raised her head and looked at him.The words stuck in the throat seemed to be reaching the mouth.She wanted to tell Xiao Yixuan about the old concubine's falling asleep recently, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them abruptly.She thought of the old concubine always telling herself not to tell others about this matter, especially her son, Xiao Yixuan.

If Song Qingjin had told him today, the old concubine would definitely blame herself.Moreover, a transparent person like her must have her own plans in this matter.So, let's not talk about this matter.Facing Xiao Yixuan's scrutinizing gaze, she couldn't help dodging a bit, and coughed a few times.

Xiao Yixuan suddenly grabbed her wrist and forced Song Qingmei to look at him.He asked word by word: "You tell me the truth, did something happen to the concubine?"

Song Qingcong immediately shook her head and said, "No. How can it be? The old concubine is very healthy. This servant wants to ask the prince, have you finished the milk pills that this servant gave you before leaving last time?"
