Night, as time goes by.
Xue Mu's forehead was covered with sweat.
He looked down at Leng Mei.
She raised her head and took a final swallow.
Wiped his mouth.
Then he said to Xue Mu: "How much did you improve just now?"
"I feel like my strength has improved significantly just now." Xue Mu replied.
"That's good!"
Leng Mei was obviously a little tired, she leaned into Xue Mu's arms.
Xue Mu stroked her body, and the thin gauze felt very comfortable on his hands.
The moonlight hit the window and came in.
When the light shines on them, they are a little more graceful.
Leng Mei patted his thigh gently. Although her throat was a little sore, she still said: "We practice once a month, and maybe your skills will make great progress."
Thinking of this, Xue Mu asked: "Meier, are you also a martial arts practitioner?"
Leng Mei shook her head. Xue Mu was already close to her.
No matter what, she is also Xue Mu's woman.
Therefore, Leng Mei explained: "I am not a martial arts practitioner, but my father is. I learned it secretly when I was young, but I was not good at it."
"Your father is a martial arts practitioner." Xue Mu was curious at first, and then thought it was normal. After all, his father ran a escort agency.
But thinking about this, it seems a little strange.
After all, she had run away after a disagreement before.
Therefore, Xue Mu did not fully believe what she once said about her life experience.
Taking this opportunity tonight, he decided to ask Leng Mei.
"Mei'er."
"Huh?" Leng Mei raised her head, looked at Xue Mu's handsome face, and waited.
Xue Mu asked Leng Mei: "You told me before that your father is a bodyguard, are they all false?"
Leng Mei wanted to speak, but hesitated for a while and finally answered: "Yes."
"Why?" Xue Mu became curious: "Did you ever approach me for other purposes?"
"Yes." Leng Mei continued to nod.
Xue Mu also seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't want to say it himself. Instead, he chose to let Leng Mei confess in person.
Leng Mei knew that she could no longer hide it from Xue Mu at this time.
So she finally confessed: "Actually, I am not from Daqing."
After hearing these words, Xue Mu's suspicion finally came true.
Yes.
Xue Mu had previously thought that Leng Mei had ulterior motives for contacting him.
But maybe it was because of his concern that Leng Mei finally fell in love with him.
Therefore, there is inconsistency.
Xue Mu then asked: "You are not from Daqing. Are you from Daliang or Daxia?"
At this point, he hugged her tighter.
Leng Mei also confessed: "I am from Daxia and came to Daqing to work as an undercover agent."
As soon as these words came out, Leng Mei thought that Xue Mu would be very surprised.
Maybe even make some moves.
However, what Leng Mei didn't expect was that Xue Mu nodded calmly and said, "That's it."
"Don't you think it's strange? Don't you feel surprised? As Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division, shouldn't you arrest me?" Leng Mei asked Xue Mu three questions in a row.
Xue Mu laughed: "I guess you lived near our house back then just to keep in touch with my father, right?"
Leng Mei was a little surprised, and she asked, "Do you already know that your father is also an undercover agent of Daxia Kingdom?"
Xue Mu nodded, and then explained: "At that time, I was worried that one day I would be found by the organization. I actually don't want to be an undercover agent. I just want to live my life peacefully."
Then he looked at Leng Mei, touched her face, and said, "Mei'er, why don't you stop being an undercover agent? With my current status and power, it's more than enough for you to be a rich young lady for the rest of your life."
Leng Mei hesitated when she heard this.
Xue Mu seemed to realize that she had something to say, so he took the initiative to ask: "If there is something unspeakable, you might as well say it. Now we are in the same boat."
Leng Mei finally said: "I must complete the undercover mission. Daqing Kingdom has a blood feud with me."
"What hatred?" Xue Mu asked doubtfully.
Leng Mei seemed unwilling to recall those past events, but she still chose to confess: "Back then, my father and my mother were both in the military, and my father was the commander of the frontier fortress. However, because of Daqing's sudden trouble, let My father and my mother worked hard to support an isolated city, and eventually the city was destroyed and the people died."
Her eyes gradually turned red. She seemed to have never told this story to anyone else.
Leng Mei then looked at Xue Mu: "So, no matter what, I have to complete the undercover mission. If I am lucky enough to be able to overthrow the Daqing Dynasty and complete the unification of Daxia, then I will follow you for the rest of my life."
"But if one day I pass away from this world, you don't have to be sad. Live a good life with Ruyan. When you have time, raise your head and look at the sky. Just think of me."
Xue Mu didn't expect Leng Mei to have such a story. He hugged Leng Mei and said, "Your business is my business. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. I will help you."
But unexpectedly, Leng Mei refused: "No, you can't be an undercover agent."
She shook her head repeatedly: "I finally went to His Majesty's to remove you from the list. You are no longer an undercover savings officer of our Daxia Kingdom, so you don't need to take such risks."
"But you are alone." Xue Mu was a little worried.
Leng Mei laughed: "I am not alone. In this Daqing, there are many undercover agents in the capital from all walks of life, so I am not fighting alone."
"Well, if you need me one day, I will definitely help you with all my strength." Xue Mu reminded.
Leng Mei felt a little relieved when she heard this. Then she lay in Xue Mu's arms: "As long as you can be by my side, I will be satisfied."
Xue Mu also rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, we are going to spend the rest of our lives together."
In such an ambiguous atmosphere.
Leng Mei stepped forward directly.
Early the next morning.
Xue Mu got up early.
He knew that Leng Mei was still sleeping to death at this moment.
Not too intrusive.
After all, I spent half the night struggling last night.
It's really tiring.
Xue Mu originally had a pure yang constitution, so he was not affected at all.
I saw him put on his clothes, wash up, and then walk in the direction of the Shenhua Division.
He didn't know if there was another cat demon case last night.
Now the entire harem is in panic.
Many people have even begun to spread the word that the cold palace is the safest place.
So they all want to take refuge in the cold palace.
I was afraid that one day I would die in the palace.
Faced with such rumors, Xue Mu also knew that if the real culprit behind the scenes was not found, there would be no peace in the harem.
Just as he walked into the Divine Catching Division.
Nangong Xue happened to come out, and Eunuch Cao was also there.
She looked at Xue Mu and then said: "Quick, come into the palace with me."
"Is there another murder?" Xue Mu asked.
Nangong Xue shook her head: "No, but Eunuch Cao has helped us find the eunuchs and maids who served Concubine Yu back then."
Eunuch Cao quickly explained on the side: "Yes, there are two maids who have been working hard in the harem all day, so their health is not as good as before. One of them was paralyzed in bed, and they were sent out of the palace ten days later."
When Xue Mu heard this, he didn't take it to heart.
Because he felt that if the real culprit behind this vast case could be planned, I believe it should be an adult eunuch.
After all, pushing an adult into a well is not an easy task.
So he asked: "Is there a suitable candidate for the eunuch?"
Eunuch Cao replied: "At first, Concubine Yu took in a little eunuch who was only eight years old. He is now thirteen years old."
"How does it look?"
"A little thin."
"Any more?"
"There are two others of similar age. They were both eleven or twelve years old at the time, and are now almost adults."
Eunuch Cao's words made Xue Mu immediately realize that it was probably one of the two eunuchs.
So he said to Eunuch Cao, "We have to find these two eunuchs."
Eunuch Cao explained: "Don't worry, I have already asked people to keep an eye on them in advance. They are now in Xin Zheku's room."
In this way, the three of them came to Xinzheku.
Here, I met the two eunuchs who had served Concubine Yu.
When the two eunuchs saw Eunuch Cao, they immediately knelt down.
One of them kept kowtowing and said: "Eunuch Cao, I don't know what I have done. Please forgive me, Eunuch Cao. I don't care about the faults of small people."
Eunuch Cao was obviously a little embarrassed when he saw this scene.
He quickly asked the two eunuchs to stand up: "What's going on? Our family didn't say that you committed any crime. Why are you so nervous?"
Then he looked at Xue Mu and Nangong Xue: "The two eunuchs are ignorant, and the two adults are laughing."
Nangong Xue had already whispered to Xue Mu the appearance of the eunuch she had seen.
"The one on the left is thin and looks a little thin."
"The one on the right is a bit taller."
Xue Mu asked: "Which one was kowtowing just now?"
"The one on the left."
After hearing this answer, Xue Mu nodded.
Then, he asked the two eunuchs: "What are your names?"
The voice on the left immediately came out: "Sir, my name is Lai Xi."
The one on the right immediately said, "The younger one is called Xiao Zhuzi."
"What do you do at night?"
"Sir, after I finish washing my clothes every night, I go back to my room to sleep." Laixi was the first to reply.
After Xue Mu heard this, he asked the eunuch on the right: "What about you?"
The eunuch Xiao Zhuzi replied: "Sir, I also finished washing my clothes and went back to my room to sleep."
"Do you live together?"
"Not really." Laixi shook his head.
"Either we live together or we don't live together, why doesn't it count?" Xue Mu obviously didn't understand.
I saw Eunuch Cao standing aside, explaining awkwardly: "The eunuchs in Xinzheku, there are dozens of them living together. It is very possible that they are not in the same place, but they are indeed in the same room."
Xue Mu did not expect that the living conditions of low-level eunuchs like them were so bad.
But after thinking about it, it’s normal.
After all, they never treat these eunuchs and maidservants as human beings.
After briefly asking a few words, Nangong Xue took Xue Mu and left.
Outside, Nangong Xue asked him: "Have you found anything?"
Xue Mu shook his head: "Where is Sister Xue'er?"
"I think the tall guy might be a little nervous, and it's probably him." Nangong Xue explained.
Xue Mu then thought of an idea. He asked Nangong Xue to go to Leng Palace and ask Concubine Yu as he said.
He returned to the room again.
At this time, Laixi and Xiao Zhuzi were sitting there anxiously.
Laixi kept asking Eunuch Cao: "Eunuch Cao, did you commit anything?"
"Just wait here if I ask you to. Don't talk too much." Eunuch Cao looked at him alone.
Laixi could only keep her mouth shut.
Xiao Zhuzi, on the other hand, was sitting there, not in a hurry.
Xue Mu opened his sight and wanted to check on the situation of the two of them.
As a result, he found that the infrared rays of small bamboos were obviously more intense.
It proves that he is now more nervous and excited.
It is very possible that he is suspected of committing a crime.
Not long after, Nangong Xue came back.
The first thing he said when he came back, he anxiously said to Xue Mu: "Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu committed suicide in the cold palace."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised.
But at this time, Xue Mu looked at the expressions on the field seriously.
Sure enough, Laixi's expression was more of surprise, but his body didn't react in any way.
But Xiao Zhuzi was different. When he heard this sentence, he subconsciously took two steps forward.
As if he wanted to save Concubine Yu.
So Xue Mu said deliberately: "The case of the cat demon must have made Concubine Yu too scared, so she committed suicide!"
"Impossible." The eunuch Xiao Zhuzi said angrily: "It's impossible. The cat demon case can never harm Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu must have something hidden."
"Why are you so sure that the cat demon case can't harm Concubine Yu?" Nangong Xue asked him with a frown.
Xiao Zhuzi seemed unable to hear what others were saying. He just kept asking: "How is Concubine Yu doing now?"
Nangong Xue ignored it and continued to ask: "Why can't the cat demon case hurt Concubine Yu? You can tell me."
"Hurry up and tell me, how is Concubine Yu doing now?" Xiao Zhuzi was completely angry. He ran away and rushed towards Nangong Xue desperately.
But the next second, Xue Mu knocked him out with a palm.
"Bring it back to the Chief Inspector, and we will examine it carefully." Nangong Xue and Eunuch Cao reminded.
Eunuch Cao seemed to understand what was going on, and he immediately said: "Okay, I'll have someone escort him right now, and I'll return to my senses to arrest him."
Soon, they walked out of the palace.
Xue Mu felt a familiar breath on his way back to the Shenqi Division.
So he made an excuse and said to Nangong Xue, "I remembered that the door at home seemed to be open. I'll go back first."
Nangong Xue ran away immediately when she saw him. Although she was a little confused, she didn't pay too much attention.
As soon as Xue Mu turned a corner, Murong Dai appeared in front of him.
"Master!" Xue Mu bowed his hands respectfully.
Murong Dai immediately asked: "Can you get the map?"
"Here we go." Xue Mu took it out of his arms.
Murong Dai looked at this palace map and was very happy.
At this time, Xue Mu asked inappropriately: "Master, my disciple has made great achievements this time. Is there any reward?"
"What reward do you want?" Murong Dai was in a good mood and naturally agreed.
"I want to go to the holy pool to practice with Master again. This will help improve my strength."
Hearing this, Murong Dai's face suddenly turned red.
