Insightful sight.
Xue Mu vaguely saw the image of a woman with good body proportions.
Although I can't see the exact face.
But just by looking at his figure and his voice, he can be inferred.
The so-called queen in front of me.
Probably no more than twenty years old.
However, how can these twenty-year-olds have two adult sons?
This made Xue Mu puzzled.
But right now, he didn't think too much.
After all, I just experienced something that haunts me in my dreams.
Think about the last bite Mo Xi'er took.
It's simply wonderful.
While he was in a daze, Eunuch Cao introduced Xue Mu: "This is Mr. Xue Mu, Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division."
At this time, Lan Jiuyun, as the queen, calmly looked at Xue Mu in the audience, and said with some curiosity: "I heard before that Mr. A hero comes from a young man."
Xue Mu quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I commend this official. I only solved two cases by luck. In fact, I only had the chance to catch the murderer because of Master Nangong's help."
After hearing this, Lan Jiuyun smiled slightly.
Then she noticed a detail that Xue Mu seemed to be unable to see.
So she asked: "Master Xue, your eyes."
"Back to the Queen, Xiaguan has suffered from eye disease since he was a child, so he can't see clearly." Xue Mu explained.
Lan Jiuyun felt a little regretful. She looked at Xue Mu in front of her.
He is quite handsome. If he took off the flying fish suit of the God Catcher and put on plain white clothes, he might be a scholar.
pity.
Lan Jiuyun asked kindly: "Do you need me to find an imperial doctor to treat you?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I've been blind since I was a child. I've been to many doctors, but to no avail, so I won't bother you anymore." Xue Mu replied.
After hearing this, Lan Jiuyun nodded.
She then looked at Nangong Xue.
Lan Jiuyun naturally knew the person in front of him.
After all, she is Nangong Wei's niece.
The first female headhunter in Beijing.
It can be said that in the capital of the Daqing Dynasty, no one knew about it.
So she also praised: "It seems that all of Master Nangong's men are capable men, and famous teachers give birth to brilliant disciples."
"The Queen is so complimentary." Nangong Xue said with her fists clasped.
"You just went to Wan Guifei's house, did you gain anything?"
Lan Jiuyun's question made Eunuch Cao immediately answer: "Ms. Qi, I just took the two adults to Concubine Wan Gui's place. The empress revealed some information to the two adults. I believe it will be helpful to the case. "
Lan Jiuyun asked: "In that case, let's talk about it, two adults."
Nangong Xue took the lead to take a step forward and explained: "Back to the Queen, Mr. Xue and I just went to Concubine Wan Gui's house. According to her description, there was indeed a cat meowing outside the palace last night, and the cat meowing was very sad. , which makes people panic when they hear it.”
"According to Eunuch Cao, every night when cats meow, the bodies of palace maids or eunuchs will be found the next day. I wonder if they will be found today?" Nangong Xue asked.
"Eunuch Cao." Lan Jiuyun shouted at this time.
Eunuch Cao immediately responded: "Yes, empress."
She quickly explained to Nangong Xue and Xue Mu: "Today, a dead palace maid was found in a well outside Penglai Hall."
"Penglai Palace?!" Nangong Xue was very surprised.
Yes, this is her aunt's bedroom.
Eunuch Cao naturally knew the relationship between Nangong Xue and Nangong Wei.
He quickly explained: "Lord Nangong, don't worry, Concubine Mu is safe. The only one who died was a palace maid from Xinzheku."
Listening to Eunuch Cao talking about this matter so lightly.
Xue Mu felt a little emotional.
What does it mean that the person who died was just a palace maid from Xinzheku?
Isn't the life of the palace maid not life?
However, in their eyes, the life of the palace maid is indeed not life.
However, what Xue Mu didn't expect was that Nangong Xue said at this time: "No matter what, someone will die after all, even if she is Xin Zheku's maid."
Then she looked at the Empress: "Empress, I want to take a look at the body."
"Okay, let Eunuch Cao take you there." Lan Jiuyun waved.
"Yes, concubine."
Eunuch Cao immediately retreated, preparing to leave with Xue Mu and Nangong Xue.
But at this time, Xue Mu noticed that his eyes seemed to be able to see.
That's right, after promotion, the "Edict of Sin" rewarded Xu Shi's eye-opening time.
It's now seven o'clock in the evening, so naturally you can see what's in front of you.
Gradually, what comes into view is the magnificent palace.
The luxurious decoration made Xue Mu, who had always been calm, couldn't help but sigh.
This Cining Palace is indeed more magnificent than those in Penglai Palace.
Sitting on the stage was the queen who had just spoken to him.
Xue Mu took a closer look.
The queen was seen floating in a goose-yellow gauze, paired with dazzling gemstone jewelry. Each gemstone seemed to eclipse the stars and the moon.
The face is like a melon seed, petite, slender and graceful.
The bright and clean skin seems to be smudged with water droplets, making it radiant.
In her deep eyes, the beauty like the sun, moon and stars seemed to be able to swallow up the entire universe. Her temperament was extremely magnificent and natural.
Although she is young, she has a sense of immediacy as a mother who cares about the world.
Her long hair swayed like a waterfall, as white as ice and snow flowing in the breeze.
Xue Mu was very surprised. He did not expect that the queen of the Daqing Dynasty was so young and beautiful.
He even envies that damn Emperor Qing now.
It is said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem.
I'm afraid those three thousand people are the most outstanding women in Daqing.
At this time, Lan Jiuyun found that Xue Mu was still standing there motionless and looking at him.
She was also a little confused.
But considering that he couldn't see, he didn't care.
Nangong Xue was at the side, about to turn around and leave. When she saw Xue Mu standing nearby, she pulled his sleeves and reminded him: "Okay, we have to leave."
Xue Mu then turned around and left.
Yes, he wanted to take a second look.
After all, the queen's appearance is already comparable to that of Xu Ruyan, Leng Mei and others.
Wait for Xue Mu and Nangong Xue to leave.
Lan Jiuyun stood up.
The maid next to her immediately put her hand in the air and supported her hand back to the bed behind the screen.
"Wreaths."
"Mother, my servant is here."
"Where did this cat demon thing first spread?" Lan Jiuyun asked calmly.
The maid on the side explained: "It seems to have come from Concubine Rong."
"Oh?" Lan Jiuyun nodded: "Then when the two adults come to the palace to handle the case tomorrow, tell them this information."
"Yes, concubine."
Lan Jiuyun immediately sat on the bed and put her little feet up.
I have to say, those delicate and thin feet are "coveted".
She was leaning on the bed ready to rest.
So she wasn't too interested in this cat demon incident.
With her control over the harem in the past two years.
I believe there must be someone behind this.
However, she was also curious about whether Xue Mu and Nangong Xue of the Divine Catcher Division could successfully catch the mastermind behind this.
Thinking of Xue Mu.
Lan Jiuyun thought highly of this young man.
She didn't expect that an invisible person could actually join the Divine Catching Division.
He can also be a member of thousands of households and solve major cases repeatedly.
He can also be considered a wizard.
"It's really interesting."
Xue Mu couldn't help but get distracted while on the road.
Yes, he had a lot of questions that he didn't understand.
So while walking, he asked Nangong Xue: "Sister Xue'er, I heard that the Queen's voice sounded a bit young. Does she look very young too?"
Xue Mu asked deliberately.
really.
Nangong Xue explained: "She doesn't look very young, she is very young to begin with."
"Ah? What's her approximate age?" Xue Mu asked curiously.
"I guess he's about the same age as me, maybe two years older than me." Nangong Xue replied.
Xue Mu was puzzled: "But I heard that Your Majesty doesn't have two adult princes?"
"You should ask Eunuch Cao." Nangong Xue saw that he was such a gossip, so she simply brought the topic to Eunuch Cao.
This frightened Eunuch Cao.
In fact, his ears are so pointy.
How could you not hear the whispers of the two people behind you?
However, Eunuch Cao would never say anything if he shouldn't interrupt.
But Nangong Xue knew that this guy had been listening secretly, so she simply turned the topic over to him.
Eunuch Cao laughed at this time and pretended to ask: "Two adults, what questions do you want to ask the Sa family?"
"Eunuch Cao, why is the queen so young while the two princes are already adults?" Xue Mu asked.
Eunuch Cao smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it appropriate to discuss these things in the palace?"
"It's okay." Xue Mu stepped forward, took out a large ingot of silver, and put it in Eunuch Cao's sleeve: "I am just curious, for fear that I will say the wrong thing in front of the empress and miss the point, so please elaborate. "
When Eunuch Cao touched this, he was like a good guy.
So big.
He immediately smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, Mr. Xue, you have thought too carefully. I will give you a brief explanation."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"Don't dare." Eunuch Cao looked around and explained in a low voice: "The biological mother of the eldest prince and the second prince is not our current queen, but Concubine Yang who has passed away. His Majesty originally planned to succeed to the throne. After that, he named Yang Guifei the queen. However, after her death, the post of queen was vacant until three years ago. Many ministers expressed their hope that a queen could be chosen to guard the harem and be the mother of a country. .”
"Our Majesty has chosen the current Queen."
After listening to his explanation, Xue Mu finally understood what was going on.
In other words, the Queen should have entered the palace in the past two years just like Nangong Wei and Mo Xi'er.
However, compared to Nangong Wei and Mo Xi'er, the empress, Lan Jiuyun, was much luckier.
She was chosen by the emperor to become the mother of a country.
In charge of the harem.
But strange things happened frequently in this harem in the past two years.
So when faced with this cat demon incident, Lan Jiuyun simply asked the Divine Catcher to intervene.
Investigate the person behind this.
Xue Mu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
The situation in the harem is already so complicated and serious.
It would be even more difficult to manage a country and a government.
No wonder Emperor Qing was in ruins.
No one can do anything about it. It has been more than ten years of continuous administration.
Of course, there were still several capable emperors in our ancient history.
However, this is the Daqing Dynasty.
Just as he was thinking about it, Eunuch Cao reminded him: "Two adults, we are here."
With that said, she opened the door.
A gloomy atmosphere immediately invaded inside.
Although Xue Mu has a pure Yang constitution, he is inevitably a little afraid of the cold.
Not to mention Nangong Xue, she frowned and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is the morgue of the harem. It's full of corpses."
"So." Xue Mu almost said the word "many".
If he said this, Nangong Xue and Eunuch Cao would probably doubt his eyes.
Because of the situation in front of us, there were indeed many corpses.
Nangong Xue asked in surprise: "Why so many?"
Eunuch Cao explained: "With so many people in the palace, it is not surprising that several people die every day. We will transport the corpses from the morgue every three to five. But sometimes when there are too many people dying, it will It seems the morgue is extremely crowded.”
Xue Mu felt helpless when he heard this answer.
Then, under the leadership of Eunuch Cao, they came to the palace maid who had soaked in the well last night.
Nangong Xue was naturally responsible for examining the palace maid's body.
After opening his clothes, Eunuch Cao immediately dodged and turned around and said, "Sir, this old slave is waiting outside the door."
After saying that, he ran away in despair.
Xue Mu joked: "This Eunuch Cao has not forgotten that he is a man. He actually remembers not to look at anything inappropriate."
Nangong Xue said: "Most of these eunuchs were forced to go to the service room to become eunuchs because they were forced to survive. They would more or less think that they were men in their bones, and some would even form an alliance with the palace maids. right."
She then looked at Xue Mu: "Fortunately, your father had a job as a prison guard. Otherwise, you would have been blind and had no one to take care of you, and you might have ended up like this."
Speaking of this, Xue Mu couldn't help but feel his sphincter contracting.
He changed the subject: "How is the body?"
"There are already body spots. He died last night."
Nangong Xue said while inspecting: "You are not old, about thirteen years old. The whole body is purple, which is consistent with signs of drowning. There are no scars on the body."
"It's strange. Did she fall into the water by herself?" Xue Mu asked curiously.
"If this is the case, then you have to ask the palace maid who lives and works with her. Only in this way can you understand the current situation of this palace girl." Nangong Xue replied.
Xue Mu looked at the corpse in front of him and frowned: "Is this palace maid even wearing rouge?"
Nangong Xue was a little surprised when she saw it.
"Yes, she did have rouge on her face."
As she spoke, she wiped it gently with her hand.
"This rouge is expensive. It looks like it is a precious rouge, something from the palace." Nangong Xue explained.
When Xue Mu heard this, he also started thinking.
However, at this time, he noticed Nangong Xue looking at him.
His face was filled with confusion and disbelief.
She looked shocked: "Can you see it?!"
