The address given by Gao Yuyan is located in an alley on Sifang Street in the east of the city. The alley is narrow and winding, lined with ancient brick houses, and the location is remote.
He Xinyue was afraid of any rats or insects escaping, so she followed the man closely with small steps.
Li Nanke came to the door of a small courtyard, only to find that the door was locked.
"no one?"
He Xinyue stuck out her little head and said in surprise.
Li Nanke confirmed that the address was correct, then he grabbed the girl's slim waist and climbed in through the wall next to the courtyard.
The moment the man's big hand touched his waist, He Xinyue almost screamed. When he landed, his face was as red as the morning glow.
"As for that."
Li Nanke was speechless.
A hug would be enough, but a kiss would make you faint on the spot?
Ten of this kind of women wouldn't be enough for him to hit in bed.
There is only one room in the courtyard, which is quiet.
Li Nanke walked to the closed wooden door and put his palm on it with a little force. The door slowly opened a gap with a "squeaking" sound.
It was dimly lit inside and couldn't see clearly.
The timid He Xinyue held the man's sleeve tightly, and her fingers turned white from nervousness.
"anyone there?"
Li Nanke called out.
He is not afraid that there is an ambush here, after all, there is a super bodyguard like Yan Jiangxue beside him.
Seeing no one answered, Li Nanke pushed the door open and entered.
As the light in the room brightened, he saw a man sitting motionless on the bed.
Corpse?
No, there is breath.
Li Nanke came to the bed and used the light to see clearly the appearance of the person on the bed.
She is a middle-aged woman.
The face is very dark.
The woman's hair was slightly messy and her body was weak. Li Nanke also noticed that her legs seemed to be seriously injured.
Strange, where have I seen this woman?
Li Nanke looked a little familiar.
At this time, the woman slowly opened her eyes.
The woman was not surprised when she saw Li Nanke, as if she had expected that he would come looking for her. She said weakly, "Master Li, do you still remember me?"
"Are you... the servant next to Guan Lijuan!?"
Electricity flashed in Li Nanke's mind.
He got up.
When he and the young prince Bai Buai were investigating the case, they went to Xiaolei Village and found the eldest princess's wet nurse, Guan Lijuan.
The woman who received them at that time was the woman in front of them.
Bai Buai even had a small conflict with her.
I remember that at that time, this woman was in good health and was waiting beside Guan Lijuan, but now she has turned into such a miserable state.
"Master Li has a good memory."
The dark-faced woman forced a tired smile.
Li Nanke looked at the other party, remembering Guan Lijuan's murder case a few days ago, and asked: "Did you come with Mrs. Guan, or behind her."
"The old servant has always been by your side to serve Madam."
The black-faced woman said.
Li Nanke looked like I should have guessed it earlier. He patted his forehead and sighed: "It should have been like this. I didn't expect this at the time."
Currently, Guan Lijuan’s murder by a monster has not yet been solved.
Although it was previously suspected that Duan Daming, who turned into a monster, was responsible, there was no evidence and no conclusion could be drawn.
In addition, the eldest princess also approached him, hoping to help investigate the case.
For this condition, Li Nanke specially paid for the eldest princess's meal for free.
Unfortunately, Leng Xinnan was attacked later, which made him unable to take care of the case, so he slowly put it on hold. Unexpectedly, I could see the servant beside Guan Lijuan at this time.
This Gao Yuyan can really surprise people.
"Tell me, what happened at that time?" Seeing the woman's chapped lips, Li Nanke asked He Xinyue to bring a bowl of water and sat on a stool next to her.
The dark-faced woman took the water from He Xinyue, thanked her, lowered her eyes and said sadly:
"After receiving the secret instructions from the Supreme Emperor, my wife and I rushed to the capital day and night, and the journey went smoothly. After arriving in the capital, because of my wife's inconvenience, we decided to rest temporarily at the inn for one night.
But that night, when I was preparing to rest, my wife suddenly called me to her side, saying that she might not survive the night, and told me some secrets in the palace.
She asked me to leave the inn and hide, and then find a way to find you... I don't want to leave my wife behind, and plan to take her with me. But then the monster appeared and killed the lady.
I managed to escape with half my life, but passed out on the street. When I woke up, I came here..."
The black-faced lady had sad eyes and red eyes.
Li Nanke was in a complicated mood, and it was obvious that Mrs. Guan already understood that the capital was in danger.
But why let the servant tell him the secret?
After all, the two of them only met once.
Li Nanke recalled the first meeting with Guan Lijuan. At that time, she was indeed a little excited at first, but now she is full of doubts.
Li Nanke did not rush to ask about the secrets of the palace, but asked: "On the night you were killed, you only saw monsters?"
"Yes."
"Do you still remember what the monster looks like?"
"It was too confusing at the time, and it was night. I only remember that it had three tails and one arm..."
Li Nanke kept the description of the black-faced woman in mind.
It seems that the monster that killed Guan Lijuan was not Mrs. Duan and the others.
Li Nanke asked again, "After receiving the oral edict from the Supreme Emperor Bai Yaoquan, is there anything unusual about Mrs. Guan?"
"Yes, she has been very worried and worried on the road, and occasionally talks to herself."
"The Emperor didn't send any guards to protect you?"
"No."
The black-faced lady shook her head.
Li Nanke felt very strange.
After all, she was also the eldest princess’s wet nurse, so she only gave her an oral instruction to return to Beijing and that was it? Even if you don't send Tiangang Disha, at least send a shadow guard.
However, Li Nanke still didn't think it was the Supreme Emperor who killed Guan Lijuan.
He kills people, there is no need to go to such trouble.
"Tell me, what was the secret in the palace back then? About the eldest princess?" Li Nanke pinched his eyebrows and began to ask the key points.
The black-faced woman nodded and said, "Madam told me that the eldest princess was not paralyzed when she was born."
Not paralyzed?
The information brought by this woman He Panjun is quite accurate.
"Is there any more?" Li Nanke asked.
The black-faced woman said: "After the eldest princess was paralyzed, the Supreme Emperor placed her in an underground palace to heal her injuries. The person who healed the eldest princess was an old man named 'Dugu'. This man seems to have been imprisoned by the Supreme Emperor."
Dugu?
Could it be that the mysterious man from the underground palace they wanted to kidnap was this old man?
The more Li Nanke thought about it, the more likely it became.
Being able to cure the eldest princess shows that this person is super strong and is also the key to the world of Red Rain.
Otherwise, Bai Yaoquan would not go to such trouble to imprison him.
"Are there any other secrets?"
"Yes, the eldest princess's mother, Qing Fei, actually passed away before she gave birth to the princess."
Grave Man!
Li Nanke took a deep breath.
Sure enough, the previous speculation was correct. The eldest princess and Princess Shanyun were both born from grave people!
But their growth experiences were completely different.
One lives in darkness.
One lives in the light.
It stands to reason that children born to grave people cannot grow normally, but the eldest princess can.
Why?
Is it because of the old man named Dugu?
Or is it the mysterious Gu worm inside the eldest princess?
"Also." The black-faced woman lowered her voice and said slowly, "Empress Qing Fei and Bei Wenliang's first wife, they are biological sisters."
"What!?"
Li Nanke was really shocked this time.
This was something he had never guessed.
In this way, the birth of Princess Shanyun and the eldest princess was not accidental.
Their mothers are biological sisters, and they were all born from grave people and should not have existed in this world.
Li Nanke's brain was buzzing.
At this time, he had already vaguely felt that he was about to touch the edge of the truth.
"That's all Madam told me." A relieved smile appeared on the black-faced woman's face, "I have fulfilled my mission and completed Madam's instructions."
Li Nanke still didn't understand and asked directly: "But why does Mrs. Guan tell me this?"
The black-faced woman shook her head, "This lady never told me."
Li Nanke frowned, puzzled.
In addition, there is the biggest doubt.
A wet nurse knew so many secrets. It was unbelievable that Bai Yaoquan would let her go and allow her to be nursed in her hometown for twenty years.
Is this Bai Yaoquan really thinking about his old love?
