"Prince Princess, you are dead!"

As soon as Zhu Xing returned to Bixiaotang, the first thing he did was to report the matter to Nangong Yue.

At this moment, the two of them were in Xiao Yi's outer study room. Nangong Yue was sitting on Xiao Yi's Taishi chair. For her, the slightly spacious Taishi chair made her figure smaller and smaller. Baihui and Begonia followed her. Wait on the side.

The result reported by Zhu Xing was also beyond Nangong Yue's expectation. Nangong Yue could not help but narrow her eyes slightly in surprise. Haitang and Baihui also exchanged shocked looks.

There was silence for a moment in the outer study room. Nangong Yue half-closed her eyes and thought, and the atmosphere around her was solemn.

After Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xing, a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes, and asked slowly: "Zhu Xing, tell me, how did Zhang Yi die? Did he leave anything behind? Clues?"

Zhu Xing's death was a bit **** and horrifying. Zhu Xing originally wanted to just talk about it, but since Nangong Yue asked about it, he reported in detail: "Returning to the imperial concubine, Zhang Yi's body was When she was found, three daggers were fixed to the wall. One was inserted into the palms of both hands, and the third dagger was inserted into her throat. However, the fatal injury was that the blood veins on the side of her neck were cut, and blood flowed out bit by bit. Outflow...Zhang Yi finally died of excessive blood loss. The daggers he used were all ordinary daggers, and he didn't leave any special clues..."

Before finding Wei Yi's body, Zhu Xing felt that the person who rescued Wei Yi was most likely from Baiyue, but with Wei Yi's death, he could no longer be sure of this.

Nangong Yue was listening and drinking tea. She looked relaxed, but her mind was racing very fast. After putting down the tea cup, he asked again: "Can you tell whether she was killed first and then the body was nailed to the wall, or was it upside down?"

No one else can answer this question, but Zhu Xing, a veteran who has been on the battlefield and has seen a lot of blood on his hands, thought about it and immediately replied: "It's the latter..."

In other words, when he was still alive, Zhang Yi was first pierced with a dagger in his palm and nailed to the wall, and then his throat was cut and bled?

"Murder." Nangong Yue murmured, thoughtfully.

Zhu Xing squinted his eyes and lowered his eyes in thought.

From the first time he saw Zhang Yi's body, he intuitively felt that it was a massacre.

Luoyue City is the territory of the Zhennan Palace. The person who rescued Bai Yi did not hesitate to take such a big risk, which shows how important Zhang Yi is to him. However, Bai Yi was actually killed, and it was not with a single blow. Instead, he was brutally tortured and killed.

Obviously, the perpetrator should have some purpose, either to torture or to punish and vent his anger...

What Zhu Xing thought of, Nangong Yue naturally thought of it too. After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Zhu Xing, continue to investigate!"

The person who robbed the clothes is still unknown and his whereabouts are unknown. Of course, we must continue to investigate this matter!

Zhu Xing's eyes flashed, and he immediately accepted the order with clasped fists, and then suggested: "Prince Concubine, I want to double the number of guards in the palace and Bixiaotang. What do you think, Concubine Crown Prince?"

Nangong Yue nodded, "I will go and talk to the prince about the palace." Nangong Yue has full authority to decide on all matters in Bixiaotang, but the palace needs to inform King Zhennan in advance.

Seeing Nangong Yue's understatement, Zhu Xing couldn't help but feel a little sad. With the crown prince, it would be much easier for the prince to do things. No wonder the saying goes, a virtuous wife brings few disasters to her husband!

It's not even Chen hour yet, and the day has just begun. For Zhu Xing, there are still many, many things to be busy with today.

After Zhu Xing retired, Nangong Yue rubbed her eyebrows, showing a slightly tired look. She went to bed late last night and woke up early this morning. She didn't rest for a few hours throughout the night.

She took another sip of the refreshing tea in the tea cup, and then told Baihui: "Baihui, go and ask the prince if he can increase the number of guards in the palace. Just say that the Chinese New Year is coming, and there are so many people coming and going. , I am afraid that someone will take advantage of my grandson. After all, our palace has resisted the decree twice..."

Bai Hui accepted the order with a smile and left. Both maids knew very well that in the mind of King Zhennan, the most important person now was the little grandson. As long as it was related to the safety of the little grandson, not to mention doubling the bodyguards, it would mean deploying an army of troops. Come here, King Zhennan will probably say nothing.

As for Nangong Yue, she slowly drank the cup of soothing tea, then got up and left the outer study with Haitang, intending to return to her yard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the study door, the air around her suddenly became cold.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gleaming sleeve arrows cut through the air and shot towards Nangong Yue rapidly. The two arrows were much smaller than ordinary feather arrows, but their speed and sharpness were not reduced. They came like flying fireballs. It tore apart the air, carrying a strong and fierce murderous aura.

However, Haitang was still behind Nangong Yue, and the study door was only large enough for one person to enter and exit at a time.

The two sleeve arrows were extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, they had already shot several feet away. One arrow was aimed at Nangong Yue's eyebrows, and the other arrow was piercing her left chest...

? In the midst of this electric light and flint, Haitang stepped up on the door frame behind, and then used her strength to leap out. Her petite body nimbly leaped over Nangong Yue's head. At the same time, her left hand shook. A flying knife was thrown out, and it hit a sleeve arrow with a clang, knocking it away. The whip in his right hand was thrown out like a snake, and it wrapped around the second sleeve arrow.

In this quiet morning, the sound of the handover of weapons seemed particularly cold and harsh.

"簌簌猌..."

There was a strange sound of branches and leaves swaying from the crown of the tree where the sleeve arrow was shot. It was obvious that the perpetrator had gone away.

Haitang intuitively took two steps forward, but decisively stopped and did not catch up.

For her, her most important task is to protect the Crown Princess, and everything else is just extra trivial matters.

If you are thrown off the mountain because of a moment of anger, it is a small loss and a big loss, and you will only regret it!

Haitang shook his whip with some reluctance and looked coldly at the two sleeve arrows that he had shot to the ground. The sharp arrow tips glowed with a cold edge in the rising sun, and it was very cold.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. The strange movement here attracted the guards guarding the outside of the courtyard, and they walked into the courtyard in confusion.

Of course they saw the sleeve arrow that fell on the ground at a glance. They guessed what had just happened, their expressions changed drastically, and they felt scared.

"Someone assassinated the Crown Princess!"

"Quick! Chase the assassin!"

"Hurry and report to Butler Zhu!"

"..."

The commotion in the outer study room spread rapidly like a plague. Soon, the entire Bixiao Hall knew about the assassination attempt on the Crown Princess. Early in the morning, a violent wind suddenly broke out in the Bixiao Hall. Huge waves.

It’s even more fierce, turbulent, and powerful than last night!

Bixiao Hall is in chaos!

After a while, Zhu Xing led a team of guards back to the courtyard of the outer study room. With this as the center, a group of guards searched every corner of Bixiaotang. However, after being busy for a long time, But still found nothing.

This made Zhu Xing feel disappointed and even more alert. He decisively changed his original plan and directly used Xiao Yi's crown prince's token to transfer a hundred elite soldiers from the Luoyue City camp to temporarily serve as guards of the palace and Bixiaotang.

For a time, both the palace and Bixiaotang were on emergency alert. Everyone in the palace was frightened whenever they thought that there might be that abominable and terrifying assassin hiding in a corner of the palace. The atmosphere in the palace was a bit tense. There is a feeling of turmoil.

At this time, Nangong Yue had already returned to her house under the protection of Haitang. The first thing she did was to go to the inner room to see Xiao Yu.

Seeing the little guy spitting out saliva and bubbles while sleeping, Nangong Yue just felt lucky in her heart. Fortunately, because of the incident where Zhang Yi was rescued last night, she ordered Xiao Ying and Xiao An to protect Xiao Yu personally. Otherwise, if the assassin targeted the little guy, she would simply not dare to think about it...

Nangong Yue looked at the little guy's sleeping face tenderly for a while, and her impetuous heart slowly calmed down, as if she had found her heart's refuge.

After calming down, she began to think about what had just happened.

Obviously, the assassin should have come prepared and had been lurking in that position for a long time, so he could decisively kill him the moment he walked out of the study!

Without a single blow, he left resolutely without any regrets, leaving no clues behind and not even seeing his figure.

This crisp yet elusive style made Nangong Yue naturally think of taking away and killing the person holding the clothes.

The two are most likely related and should be the same group of people.

But who could it be?

Nangong Yue tilted her head, remembering the death of Zhang Yi in her mind, and murmured to herself: "Slaying..."

But why do you have to pose like that and why use three daggers?

Nangong Yue always felt that Bai Yi's death was too deliberate, too distinctive... and even had a sense of ritual.

Maybe this is not a simple killing...

Haitang on the side saw Nangong Yue lowering her eyes and thinking, and said casually: "Prince Concubine, I think this murderer should hate Chen Yi very much, so I let her bleed to death little by little. This process is very important to Chen Yi. It must be extremely painful, but relatively speaking, the murderer also has to take greater risks and wait for Zhang Yi to die slowly..."

Nangong Yue raised her brows and looked at Haitang. With Haitang's words, it can be ruled out that the murderer wanted to torture Zhang Yi. In other words, this person spent so much time saving first and then killing him because of——

Punishment!

He also deliberately chose a very ritual punishment method.

The person wearing the clothes is a saint from Baiyue. According to her knowledge, more than half of the people in Baiyue are members of the Shengtian Sect, and the saint represents the messenger sent by God to the world and is the most supreme among the Shengtian Sect. Its existence is second only to the Baiyue royal family...

Nangong Yue doesn’t know much about Baiyue, that’s about it.

"Thrush, magpie." Nangong Yue called in a loud voice, "You two find a way to go to the bookstore in the city to find some books about Baiyue."

"Yes, Crown Princess."

The two maids responded crisply. Knowing that this matter was related to the assassin who killed Chen Yi and the Crown Princess, they did not dare to delay. They took a few maids and went out. In the streets and alleys of the city There are quite a few bookstores to look through.

The search lasted for two or three days, during which time stacks of books were delivered from major bookstores in the city to Bixiaotang.

At the same time, Zhu Xing led his guards and people from the Southern Xinjiang Army to search and inquire around the city, intending to find suspicious persons, but there was still no clue.

This assassin, or this group of assassins, seemed to appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace behind like a ghost.

Nangong Yue is not idle during this period. She has to prepare for the New Year, take care of Xiao Yu, and spend time reading. Even though Baihui and Yinger can help her with these, it still takes a lot of time. A lot of time.

The books were moved into Nangong Yue's small study room one by one, and then moved out one by one.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the small study room. Que'er suddenly stood up holding a book with a yellow cover, which suddenly attracted the attention of others, including Nangong Yue.

"Prince Princess, look here..."

Quie'er couldn't wait to present the book to Nangong Yue, pointing to a picture on a certain page.

Nangong Yue raised her right eyebrow slightly, her eyes immediately attracted by the picture in the book.

This picture shows a woman nailed to a wall with her arms spread wide. Countless people rushed to throw stones at her. The woman died tragically, but at the same time, it felt familiar. Nangong Yue thought of Zhang Yi's death.

Nangong Yue calmed down, turned the page forward, and started reading from the beginning.

This book introduces the Shengtian Sect, and the history of the Shengtian Sect is also a history of Baiyue.

It has been more than 300 years since the founding of Baiyue. According to records, more than 300 years ago, the Shengtian Sect had only a few thousand followers. At that time, Dazhen, an elder in the sect, actively expanded the power of the Shengtian Sect. In just a few years, the Shengtian Sect grew to tens of thousands, which aroused the fear of those in power in Baiyue at that time. They tried to eradicate the Shengtian Sect in the name of a cult. However, they did not expect that the Shengtian Sect would revolt under the leadership of Dazhen. Instead, they quickly occupied three cities. In the following years, they attracted many believers with their teachings, and their momentum became more and more powerful. In just ten years, they overthrew the old dynasty and established the current Baiyue.

After Dazhen ascended the throne as the King of Baiyue, Shengtian Sect became the holy religion of Baiyue. He claimed to be the holy son chosen by God, and chose a female elder in the religion at that time as a saint to take charge of Shengtian. This is also the beginning of the saintly system in Baiyue.

Saints are sacred and have a high status. They must believe in the Holy Heaven Religion and devote themselves to it throughout their lives.

But huge power also represents ambition. In the history of Baiyue, there were saints who formed gangs for personal gain, and saints who encouraged believers to rebel. All of these saints were sentenced to death.

The picture that Que'er found in the book was of the saint being executed, and this punishment was specifically targeted at the saint.

In other words, Zhang Yi was executed to death!

A gleam of light flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and her thoughts were racing.

The so-called "execution" inherently connotes condescension. In both public and private matters, it is often the punishment of a superior to a subordinate.

It seems that the person behind the scenes is indeed from Baiyue, and his identity may not be simple.

"Baihui, Begonia, let's go to the outer study!" Nangong Yue stood up and ordered, "Huamei, go find Zhu Xing to see me."

The maids all responded hurriedly, and followed the master and servants to leave the house and go to the outer courtyard.

As soon as Zhu Xing heard that the imperial concubine wanted to see him, he immediately rushed to the outer study room as quickly as possible.

Nangong Yue didn't say anything further, and asked Baihui to hand the book to him, and showed him the execution picture and several paragraphs of text before and after it.

Zhu Xing read it at a glance. He is a smart man and understood it at once.

Obviously, a noble person came to the long-lost Baiyue. This person not only respected the rules, but was also bold and careful, and did not hesitate to go to great lengths to punish the saint.

Facing Zhu Xing's confused gaze, Nangong Yue, who had already calmed down, said in a deep voice: "Zhu Xing, be sure to keep an eye on Carrero, the sixth prince of Baiyue in the back mountain. Since this person will be punished according to the rules of Baiyue He must not only have a noble status in Baiyue, but also believe in the rules and orthodoxy... Now that Kui Lang is dead, this person is likely to come to rescue the sixth prince of Baiyue."

Hearing this, Zhu Xing's face turned serious, with a cautious look on his face. That's what the Crown Princess said. Since this person knew that the clothes fell into their hands, he probably knew that Carrero had also become their prisoner. Now that I have an enemy in the open, I can't guarantee when the other party will take action again...

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your advice." Zhu Xing hurriedly clasped his fists and then retreated to do some work.

While the guards in the back mountain dungeon were strengthened, the searches in the city and the palace did not stop. For two days in a row, soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army could be seen patrolling in the streets and alleys of the city, exuding a cold feeling. breath.

But after so much work, I still got nothing.

Zhu Xing could only come to ask Nangong Yue for instructions again, suggesting whether he should show his weakness deliberately and use Carrero in the mountain dungeon as bait to lure the opponent to the bait.

This is a good idea!

After obtaining the consent of the Crown Princess, Zhu Xing immediately mobilized troops and once again strengthened the guards in the back mountain. However, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the other party still showed no sign of taking the bait.

The mastermind behind this seemed to have left Luo Yuecheng and made no further moves.

However, Nangong Yue and Zhu Xing still dare not ignore it. They both vaguely feel that judging from this person's behavior, he should be a person who is unwilling to give up until his goal is achieved, and he may not retreat so easily.

As the saying goes: "You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief in a thousand days." It is not a good idea to "wait" like this. Nangong Yue simply proposed to use herself as bait, but was unanimously and strongly opposed by Zhu Xing, Haitang and others. This time was no better than when they dealt with the Nine Kings of Nanliang. They knew too little about this mysterious person behind the scenes, and the unknown was unknown. Represents danger.

According to Haitang, "The imperial concubine is porcelain and cannot collide with those rotten Baiyue tiles!"

In the next few days, everything in Bixiaoli, Wangfuli, and Luoyue City was peaceful. Everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

But even so, none of Zhu Xing and the others dared to take it lightly. They always felt that this was the calm before the storm. The enemy was like a poisonous snake and beast hiding in the darkness. They didn't know when they would wait for an opportunity to pounce on them ferociously. Come...

Zhu Xing worriedly dispatched a few more secret guards to secretly protect Tingyu Pavilion and Nangong Yue's yard. For the prince, the prince's concubine, the youngest grandson and Mr. Fang are the most important people, and they must not Something went wrong.

In this seemingly calm atmosphere, the New Year is approaching day by day, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. However, under this excitement and busyness, there is a vague atmosphere of tension and undercurrents. From south to north, the same is true in the distant royal capital...

In the royal study room of the palace, the atmosphere was solemn, as if there was a thick layer of gloom hanging over it.

"Your Majesty, Lu Huaining, is here to see the Emperor." Lu Huaining, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, knelt down respectfully to salute the Emperor.

The emperor, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, looked at Lu Huaining with a stern face, raised his hand in annoyance and said, "Get up."

The emperor was in a very unhappy mood. In the past few days, he had received news from Southern and Western Xinjiang, which was not good news. First, the Prince of Zhennan refused to marry, and then the Marquis of Weiyuan came to report. The peace talks with Xiye were not going well...everything was contrary to his expectations, and nothing went as planned!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more gloomy he became. Especially three days ago, the matter of "their acquaintance" seemed to have suddenly aroused a storm and intensified in the capital. Even the ordinary people were talking about it vividly. It made the emperor so angry that he was furious.

In this way, the emperor became more and more convinced that Xiao San was right. Someone must have deliberately framed him and fueled the flames behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could ordinary people dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of the royal family at will? Therefore, the emperor ordered Lu Huaining to secretly investigate this matter two days ago. thing.

"Tell me, how did the investigation go?" The emperor's majestic voice echoed in the imperial study.

Lu Huaining's expression became more and more respectful, and he replied in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, according to my investigation, this matter was done secretly by the empress..."
