"Can you see it?!"
At this moment, Xue Mu was embarrassed.
He didn't expect Nangong Xue's brain circuit to be so strange.
But that's normal.
So he thought of an excuse and said, "Actually, I smelled the rouge on her body and felt something was different."
"Can you smell this too?" Nangong Xue was a little surprised.
Xue Mu said with a smile: "If you can't see it with your eyes, you will naturally have strengths in other places."
After hearing this, Nangong Xue was a little surprised, but finally agreed with Xue Mu's statement.
After a brief observation, the body of the palace maid in front of me had no external injuries or traces of poisoning.
Basically, other man-made homicides can be ruled out.
Just as she was about to leave, Xue Mu noticed a detail.
There was a slight bruise on the palace maid's forehead and hairline.
With a little scratch marks.
Like a bump.
In order to attract Nangong Xue's attention, Xue Mu deliberately said: "Yes, besides rouge, is there anything else found on her face?"
Nangong Xue shook her head: "Other than that, there seems to be nothing."
Then, she took another look.
It was this glance that made Nangong Xue discover the slight bruise on his forehead.
She looked carefully and found that there was some greenish color on the scar, like moss.
"It seems that when he committed suicide by jumping into the well, he bumped into the well." Nangong Xue explained.
Xue Mu feels similar.
But his theory was more likely that someone pushed her from behind and fell in, which caused her forehead to hit.
However, the most important thing now is to ask the palace girl about the people she has been with before.
So Nangong Xue and Xue Mu walked out.
Eunuch Cao recalled: "The name of this palace maid is Xiao Wu. She was a laundry maid in Xin Zhe's library when she entered the palace last year. There are two or three palace maids with her. I will take you there right now."
"By the way, Eunuch Cao, are the maids and eunuchs who died in the cat demon incident also in the morgue?" Xue Mu suddenly asked.
"Yes." Eunuch Cao nodded.
Nangong Xue immediately asked: "Can you take us to see it?"
Speaking of this, Eunuch Cao hesitated a little.
Xue Mu saw him hesitating and asked, "What's the matter? Eunuch Cao."
Eunuch Cao explained awkwardly: "We didn't take this seriously before, so I don't know where the old slave's body was at the beginning. It may have been transported away."
"In that case, forget it." Nangong Xue saw that it was getting late, so he said, "How about we go to Xinzheku tomorrow and ask the maids. Eunuch Cao, thank you for your hard work."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Eunuch Cao explained quickly.
He then looked at the two of them: "Two adults, I will take you out of the palace first."
Nangong Xue wanted to nod, but suddenly thought of something.
After struggling for a while, he finally said: "Eunuch Cao, I want to see Concubine Mu."
"Okay." Eunuch Cao naturally knew the relationship between Concubine Mu and Nangong Xue, and quickly agreed: "Then I will take you there right now."
"No need." Nangong Xue explained: "I know the way to Concubine Mu's palace, so I won't trouble Eunuch Cao. Eunuch Cao has also worked hard today."
"No hard work, no hard work. I hope the two adults can figure out the case of the cat demon as soon as possible. Everyone in our palace has been affected to some extent, so I leave it to you two adults." Eunuch Cao said cheerfully.
Just like that, Eunuch Cao left.
After he left, Xue Mu deliberately asked: "Master Nangong, are you going to see Concubine Mu?"
"Yes." Nangong Xue responded, and then she looked at Xue Mu and explained: "Concubine Mu is my aunt. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can go to her place with me."
"good."
Xue Mu answered readily.
Nangong Xue took him towards the direction of Penglai Hall.
On the way there, Nangong Xue was a little curious.
I found that Xue Mu didn't ask too many questions about himself and Concubine Mu.
This also made Nangong Xue feel that Xue Mu was a person who knew the size.
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.
But what she didn't know was that Xue Mu had already known about their relationship.
She even found out about her aunt.
Now, her aunt is her aunt.
Not long after, they arrived at Penglai Hall.
Yun'er outside the palace was very surprised when she saw Nangong Xue and Xue Mu.
She immediately walked into the bedroom and reported to Nangong Wei.
"Empress, Sister Xue'er and Lord Xue are here." Yun'er stepped forward to explain.
At this time, Nangong Wei was reading a book. She didn't expect Nangong Xue and Xue Mu to come.
And they came together.
So he stood up curiously.
Walk outside the palace.
He hasn't reached the entrance of the palace yet.
Nangong Xue and Xue Mu walked in.
Nangong Xue's face was slightly red at this moment.
She didn't know what her purpose was.
He even brought Xue Mu to his aunt.
Does this confirm something to some extent?
Nangong Wei was happy when she saw her niece, so she stepped forward and asked, "Xue'er, why are you here?"
"Today, I was entrusted by Eunuch Cao to come to the palace to investigate the matter of the cat demon." Nangong Xue explained.
"Oh? Cat demon." Nangong Wei was not surprised. She looked at Xue Mu beside her, and pretended to be confused: "Xue'er, this is it?"
After hearing this, Xue Mu naturally understood that Nangong Wei wanted to deliberately ask him in front of Nangong Xue.
Sure enough, Nangong Xue quickly explained: "This is Xue Mu Xue Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division."
Then she also introduced Nangong Wei to Xue Mu: "Xue Mu, this is my aunt, and she is also Concubine Mu."
"Xue Mu has met the imperial concubine." Xue Mu naturally had to put on a show.
Nangong Wei laughed: "So this is Xue Qianhu, I didn't expect to be so young and handsome."
Yun'er listened to the conversation between the two old foxes and couldn't help laughing for a moment.
It's obvious that both of them have met.
Now I have to pretend that I just met him.
Nangong Xue was left alone in the dark.
Xue Mu looked at Nangong Wei and found that the two aunts and nephews were somewhat similar standing together.
The most important thing is that there is absolutely no ambiguity where it should be.
It seems that the Nangong family's bloodline is that they have big lumps and long legs.
Looking at the two beauties in front of me, plus a little maid who is still growing.
Xue Mu was the only man in the entire palace.
I have to say, it was indeed a feast for the eyes.
It's a pity that these three women can only watch but not eat.
Of course, my trip to the palace today was not a loss.
After all, Mo Xi'er had already had a taste of it as early as the afternoon.
There wasn't even a bit left.
Therefore, Xue Mu's desire at this moment is not that high.
Nangong Wei asked Yun'er to give them a seat, and then explained: "My aunt has also heard about the cat demon incident."
"Auntie, did you also hear the cat meowing?" Nangong Xue asked.
Nangong Wei shook her head: "I didn't hear it, but Yun'er and the others heard it."
"Mother, when did you hear the cat meowing?" Xue Mu asked immediately.
Nangong Wei looked at Yun'er: "Yun'er, do you still remember?"
Yun'er thought for a while and replied: "About ten days ago."
Nangong Xue asked again: "Is the deceased found today in the well outside Penglai Hall?"
Nangong Wei nodded: "Yes, a palace maid from Xin Zheku."
"Auntie, do you know her?"
"do not know."
"Where's Yun'er?"
Yun'er shook his head: "Yun'er doesn't know him either."
Nangong Xue was also confused, but she didn't think too much. She told Nangong Wei, "Auntie, try to stay in the palace these days and don't go out. Be careful of danger."
Nangong Wei said calmly: "Don't worry, few people come to my Penglai Palace."
"Then why did the maid of Xinzheku throw herself into a well outside your palace and die?" Nangong Xue asked rhetorically.
Nangong Wei came to her and poked her gently with her finger: "Well, Xue'er, you will teach your aunt a lesson, right?"
Nangong Xue said expressionlessly: "In short, you must be careful in everything in the palace. I don't want to hear the news that something happened to you the next time I enter the palace."
"Bah, bah, you crow's mouth." Nangong Wei frowned.
Xue Mu watched the two aunts and nephews singing together and found it interesting.
Compared to Nangong Xue's indifference, Nangong Wei was quite enthusiastic.
Perhaps it took too long, so Nangong Xue proposed to leave.
Nangong Wei said: "Xue Mu, please stay for a while and I will tell you something."
Nangong Xue was a little confused. She turned to look at Nangong Wei, wondering what her aunt wanted to do.
Nangong smiled: "Xue'er, go wait outside the palace first."
"Why? What do you want to tell him?" Nangong Xue frowned.
Nangong Wei looked like she was selling her off: "I won't tell you."
"Just don't tell me." Nangong Xue didn't care and walked out of the palace to wait.
Nangong Wei glanced at Yun'er, and Yun'er naturally understood.
Soon, only Nangong Wei and Xue Mu were left in the palace.
"Xue Mu."
"I wonder if your Majesty has any instructions for leaving Xue Mu here?" Xue Mu asked.
Nangong Wei changed her relaxed look just now and said with a serious face: "If you can't find out the person behind the cat demon incident, then don't investigate anymore."
"Why?" Xue Mu was a little confused.
Nangong Wei explained: "You don't need to ask more about this matter. As long as you can't find out, then immediately ask the queen for forgiveness. She will not punish you."
Although Xue Mu doesn’t understand why Nangong Wei reminds her like this?
But he knew that as Nangong Xue's aunt, she would definitely not frame Nangong Xue.
So Xue Mu also nodded and said: "Don't worry, empress, I will definitely remember it."
"Yes." Nangong Wei was also very satisfied: "You performed well today. You didn't show any signs of weakness just now. Xue'er probably doesn't know. You and I have known each other for a long time."
Xue Mu smiled and said, "Sister Xue'er is probably still worried about your queen's safety."
"That girl of hers is so heartless." Nangong Wei sighed: "By the way, you must protect her safety, and you must be more careful yourself, you know? Don't think that the palace is safe, it even requires It’s more dangerous than outside.”
"Xue Mu would like to listen to the teachings of the empress." Xue Mu said immediately.
"Okay, get out quickly, otherwise that girl will have random thoughts." Nangong Wei urged.
"Yes! My Majesty." Xue Mu was about to leave.
Nangong Wei thought of something and wanted to hold him back.
Instead, she grabbed his hand.
But Nangong Wei, as Xue Mu's aunt, naturally didn't think too much.
Instead, he took out two jade pendants from his body and said to Xue Mu, "Here are two jade pendants, which can ward off evil spirits. One for you and one for Xue'er."
"This" Xue Mu thought it was a bit expensive and said quickly: "My dear, if you don't give it to Sister Xue'er, I won't need it."
"What did you say?" Nangong Wei said seriously: "You two have to be good, so that you can flourish in the future. Xue'er will leave it to you."
As she said that, she patted Xue Mu's hand.
I have to say that Nangong Wei’s hands are very tender.
Even a little younger than Nangong Xuejue.
She is worthy of being a woman in the palace.
Naturally, it needs to be taken care of better.
Xue Mu pretended to decline.
But Nangong Wei still put the jade pendant on him.
"Let's go, be safe."
"Yes, concubine."
Xue Mu left.
As he walked away, Nangong Wei looked at his back from behind.
It has to be said that if she hadn't known that Xue Mu was blind, she would have felt no different from a normal person.
"I really hope he is a normal person. In this case, Xue'er can have a good ending." Nangong Wei sighed with emotion.
After walking out of the palace, Nangong Xue looked at Xue Mu.
"Sister Xue'er, let's go."
"Um."
At first, Nangong Xue ignored him and kept walking towards the city gate.
But later, she couldn't bear it any longer and asked Xue Mu, "What did my aunt do to you just now?"
"Just now, the empress said that if the person behind the cat demon incident cannot be found, then we should stop investigating and go to the empress to confess." Xue Mu replied.
Nangong Xue was a little confused after hearing this: "If that's the case, why do I have to talk to you alone?"
"this"
Naturally, Xue Mu would not tell Nangong Xue, but Nangong Wei would also allow him to branch out with her, right?
So he also took out two pieces of jade pendants from his arms and said, "This is what the empress gave me, and one piece is for you to ward off evil spirits."
"Always believe in these things." Although Nangong Xue complained, she still put the jade pendant away.
Then she asked Xue Mu: "Is there nothing else besides these?"
"there is none left."
Xue Mu shook his head.
When Nangong Xue saw this, she stopped asking.
It wasn't until she walked out of the palace and returned to the Divine Catching Department that she said to Xue Mu: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. Let's focus on Huang Haigui first and make sure to find out the insider in the Criminal Department."
"Okay, everything will follow Sister Xue'er's arrangements."
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and rest quickly." Nangong Xue was worried that it was getting late, so she asked, "Do you want me to take you back? It's late at night."
Xue Mu laughed: "Sister Xue'er, I can't see clearly whether it's late at night or not. It's the same when I walk by feeling."
"Fine."
Nangong Xue was hesitant to speak, but finally walked into the Divine Catching Division.
Naturally, Xue Mu would not let Nangong Xue send him back.
After all, as a grown man, he would not encounter much trouble on the street, but as a woman, it was different.
Finally got home.
There was a lot going on in this day.
Xue Mu felt that he could finally take a break.
Unexpectedly, he just walked in with his front feet.
Then he heard Xu Ruyan's voice: "Mu Lang, Sister Leng is gone."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Mu's nerves became tense again.
