Chapter 1379
"Hey, let me go! Who is the mouse and who is the cat now? How come I'm looking for someone!" After running around the perimeter for two full laps without seeing the little baby, Croton was going crazy.
Obviously he should be the one hiding and waiting for someone to find him, he is a mouse! Why was he looking for Qiqi instead?
He has never seen a mouse take the initiative to find a cat, he is the first in history!
"Qiqi, where have you been hiding? Come out quickly! Stop playing! It's not fun at all, I'm about to fall asleep and you still haven't found me!"
"Qiqi, Hongdou, come out, stop playing!"
If he continued playing, he would be covered in bags.
Rubbing his stomach and running two laps made him tired and hungry.
"Come out quickly, let's go back to eat. It's boring to play with you, if Chunzi and Goudan are here, it will be really lively..."
Croton's voice was loud, and Hongdou could hear it clearly in the inner circle. He carefully raised his head and looked over the bushes towards the source of the sound. In the hazy yellow light, he could vaguely see the baby's small body turning there. Jumping in circles.
Hongdou squatted back again.
Her brother must be lying to her, just like she was cheated to go to him before.
He also wanted to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit to work.
Hong Dou snorted softly from her small nose, this time, she will definitely not throw herself into a trap.
"No, I didn't see Qiqi!" After the little head realized, Hongdou looked in the direction of Croton again, but he really didn't see Qiqi.
Hongdou was in a hurry.
Brother shouted so loudly, it was impossible for Qiqi not to hear him. He is a cat now, when he heard his brother's voice, he should run over and catch him right away.
Where did Qi Qi go?
"Qiqi, Qiqi!——" Hongdou stood up and was about to look forward, when she suddenly heard a slight rustling sound from the bushes behind her, accompanied by very light footsteps.
When Hongdou turned her head, she saw Qi Qi pushing aside the bushes and coming out of it.
"Qiqi! So you are here! You found me, hahaha!"
The little girl was not frustrated at all being caught, but when she saw him, she grinned happily and rolled her eyes with a smile.
Qiqi moved her fingers, took two steps forward, grabbed the little girl's hand, and pulled.
Take her to the bluffing Croton outside.
The little girl giggled and laughed happily, but she didn't realize it at all. She used to lead her younger brother and lead her away.
This time, it was her younger brother who took her away.
In a small game, Croton was not happy playing it.
The profound lesson taught him a truth, he must prepare a bottle of insect repellent ointment when going out in the future.
It was already Haishi when the banquet ended, it was very late.
King Fengyue, together with members of the royal family and courtiers, saw off the carriage carrying King Nanling before returning to the palace.
As soon as he sat down in the bedroom, before he was drunk, he heard the guard outside rushing to report, "Your Majesty, a servant girl in the palace died inexplicably, and she died beside the garden not far from the banquet hall!"
Feng Yi narrowed his eyes, and his face darkened, "Inexplicable death? What do you mean?"
"Even if the cause of death could not be found out, the imperial doctor examined it, and the maidservant had no wounds on her body, and there were no traces of fighting or struggling at the scene, and the expression on the deceased's face was serene. The imperial doctor said that she did not feel any pain when she died. .”
"Which palace's maid?"
"After investigation, the maidservant is a laundry maidservant from Huanyifang. She has a very swollen face, and she should seldom come out and walk around. There is only one name recorded on the record of the respect room, and there is no other information."
Hearing this, Feng Lin's eyes darkened, "Go and check again to see if I can find out more information, and also check why a laundry maid appeared outside the banquet hall."
"yes."
After the guards went down, Feng Lin sat for a while, then called out again, "Come on, call the second prince."
The eunuch summoned him urgently, and Feng Yi came very quickly.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, he immediately asked, "Brother Huang called me here so late, what's the matter?"
"There is a palace maid who died outside the banquet hall. I always feel that something is wrong. Feng Yi, do you have any opinions?"
Feng Yi heard the eunuch mention the inexplicable death of the maidservant on the way here, and pondered for a moment, "Brother Huang suspects that this matter is related to Nanling King?"
Feng Lin immediately shook his head, "No, it's impossible to have something to do with King Nanling. From the time they entered the arena to the end of the banquet, King Nanling, Princess Nanling, and Qian Wanjin never left their seats. Besides, they are the first When I come to Fengyue once, what reason is there to kill someone in Fengyue Palace? Even if I did, with Nanling King’s character, I would definitely let me know. It’s just a maidservant, I can still let her offend Nanling Will the king succeed?"
Feng Yi fell silent, thoughtful.
He also knew that the matter had little to do with King Nanling. It's just that the time and place of the palace maid's appearance were very abrupt, and the cause of death was even more strange.
In the imperial palace, more or less traces can always be found for any dead person, and some reasons can be guessed.
Only this palace maid, the reason for her appearance is a mystery, and the cause of her death is even more a mystery.
"Go and investigate for yourself, find out who this maidservant had close friends with, whether she had contact with the ministers in the court, and finally find out the reason for her strange death. I don't believe that she died suddenly."
"Brother Huang, please be safe and don't be impatient, I'll go and investigate right away." Feng Yi bowed his hands and stepped back.
When he reached the door, Feng Lin called softly from behind, "Feng Yi."
Feng Yi turned his head and met Shang Feng Lin's extremely complicated gaze, which was heavy and apologetic.
"I've wronged you."
Feng Yi smiled, "Brother Huang, I am not wronged. I chose this path myself, as long as I can help Brother Huang, I will not be wronged at anything."
The man turned his head and left in a hurry, his slender back blending into the night in a blink of an eye.
Inside the hall, a long sigh sounded.
At the same time, in a certain luxurious mansion in the city, in a dark secret room, a man sat under a lamp, staring at the flickering candle in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.
The candlelight shone on his face, revealing a gloomy and deep expression.
Standing behind him was a man in black who was completely wrapped up. He was quiet and did not speak during the period, like an invisible man.
The atmosphere flowing in the air is extremely surprising.
After a long time, the man in front of the lamp squeezed out a voice, "Can't find out the reason at all?"
"Back to the master, the reason can't be found out at all, but the subordinates can be sure that she was killed."
"It's certain, she was killed." The man sneered and looked back, "Then you found out how she was killed? There were no scars, no struggles, and no pain at all!"
The man in black was silent for a while, then raised his eyes, "Master, this subordinate's suspicion may have something to do with Gu. In the four continents, there is only Gu that can kill people without any traces."
boom! The man slapped the table with his palm, and the corner of his mouth sneered even more, "You think I don't understand Gu? If I was killed by Gu, there will be traces of Gu insects staying in the body! People who have been infected by Gu, the blood flowing out It's different! Have you found the trace? Where's the blood? What color?"
Another chapter, I admire myself so much hahaha! Good night goblins, I'll write when I get back from the shower. Get up and watch. My enigmatic update...
