Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei thought, "Rumei, let's go into the room and talk!" He said and winked at the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan next to him.
Upon seeing this, Cui Hongyu immediately agreed and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Liu, please go into the room and talk. I'll watch from outside."
Liu Rumei was not overly polite and followed Chen Xiaobei into the room.
After entering the room, Liu Rumei directly spread the list on the table and said to everyone present.
"The provenance of the shoes has been found. So many people have bought shoes of the same size in the past six months. Take a look. Is there anyone suspicious among them?"
Everyone looked at Chen Xiaobei first, but Chen Xiaobei did not take the initiative to step forward this time. Instead, he cupped his hands towards the Lotus Cult Leader and said, "Sister, please take a look first."
The Lotus Cult leader waved his hand, "Just look at it, if there is anything suspicious, I will go check it out immediately."
Only then did Chen Xiaobei step forward and open the list.
After reading the list from beginning to end, Chen Xiaobei also fixed his eyes on the word palace.
After listening to Liu Rumei's explanation, he nodded, "Oh, I really didn't expect that the eunuchs in the palace even have to buy a pair of shoes by themselves."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Liu Rumei's eyes suddenly lit up, "No, that's not right."
"As far as I know, the food and drink expenses for eunuchs in the palace are all regulated. In other words, even if he buys shoes, he has no chance to wear them in the palace."
Upon hearing these words, the Lotus Master couldn't help but shout, "Oh, no need to be so long-winded, just tell me who it is, and I'll just go to the palace and capture the person."
Liu Rumei shook her head, "Of course the store didn't dare to ask his name, so he remembered the word "Gong Zhong"."
At this time, the unborn Shen Ziyan who had been beside her spoke up, "Is it possible for Miss Liu that the people in the palace need to go out often, so she bought such a pair of shoes for convenience?"
Hearing this, Liu Rumei shook her head again, "If the eunuchs in the palace are assigned to the harem to protect the safety of the queen and others, it will not be easy for them to go out. Only those around the emperor may have the opportunity to come out."
Shen Ziyan nodded, "Then it's easy. We might as well go to the palace and inquire to see if any eunuchs around the emperor are missing or have disappeared. If no one is missing, then this clue can be eliminated!"
Liu Rumei nodded, "I do have some clues in the palace. I will go find out tomorrow. Everyone, please rest early."
After sending Liu Rumei away, Chen Xiaobei stayed in front of Huang Ying's memorial tablet and asked Cui Hongyu, the Lotus Leader and others to go back to their rooms to rest.
The Lotus Cult Master didn't shirk at all, and directly dragged Shen Ziyan back to the room.
Zi Yan was very puzzled, "Senior Sister, we should always stay in front of our junior sister's soul to express our feelings, why are you so anxious to pull me back!"
The Lotus Master glanced at her and said, "You are really stupid. Since the eunuch bought those shoes, why don't we go to the palace and have a look!"
After hearing these words, Shen Ziyan was shocked, "Sister, are you crazy? Entering the palace secretly is a serious crime. If you are caught, you will be beheaded."
The Lotus Master snorted slightly, "Do you think we two will be caught? Then don't say that we are the disciples of Nanhai Shenni."
At this moment, the window suddenly made a slight noise, and then a cold wind blew over.
The two of them moved almost at the same time, dodging to the side.
"Ding, ding, ding..." There were a few very thin sounds, and a row of flying needles with cold light appeared on the table next to them.
Seeing these flying needles, the two looked at each other, lifted their clothes and knelt down almost at the same time.
"Disciple Lotus,"
"Disciple Ziyan,"
"Welcome Master."
"Well, you two have made great progress." A deep voice sounded outside the window, and then a figure flashed in front of him.
A middle-aged woman wearing green clothes appeared in front of them. The woman was holding a whisk in her hand. He looks like a cultivator. It was none other than Nanhai Shenni, their master.
Shen Ziyan quickly stood up and came forward to hold the visitor's arm, "Master, you have come a long way, sit down and rest."
Nanhai Shenni looked at them with a gloomy face, "What happened to Wang Ying? Has the murderer been caught?"
"Return to Master, we are discussing entering the palace to find out the identity of the murderer." The Lotus Master quickly bowed and answered.
Nanhai Shenni nodded, "Go ahead and leave this to me."
After saying this, Nanhai Shenni stood up and walked out. Seeing this, the Lotus Cult Master quickly stepped forward to help open the door.
Seeing the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan accompanying a nun, Chen Xiaobei probably guessed her identity.
He quickly stepped forward and hugged his fist, "Master, you are here."
Nanhai Shenni nodded. Then she came to Huang Ying's coffin, looked at it silently, and shed tears.
"Huang Ying, you are such a poor girl. Master was waiting for you to take care of me until I die, but you left me first."
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears again, took the incense from the side and lit it, and raised it towards Huang Ying's tablet.
Then he stepped forward and put the incense into the incense burner, and then his expression suddenly changed, he pointed at Huang Ying's spiritual place and cursed, "You bastard, I have raised you for many years, but you just left. My heart has been ripped out."
After scolding, Nanhai Shenni burst into tears.
The Lotus Cult Leader and Shen Ziyan next to them also cried together.
Grief once again enveloped this small courtyard.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of banging in the distance, and it was midnight.
Nanhai Shenni finally wiped her tears and turned to look at the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan.
The two of them understood each other and clasped their fists at Nanhai Shenni at the same time, and then disappeared into the darkness with a vertical movement.
The Lotus Leader was familiar with the capital, and the two of them quickly entered the palace under the cover of darkness.
Standing on a high place and looking around, Master Lotus pointed to a bright light in the distance and said, "That's the imperial study room behind the main hall. Let's go over and have a look."
The two of them evaded the patrolling samurai and quickly approached the outside of the imperial study.
At this time, in the imperial study room, Xiao An was correcting official documents. Although Prince Xiao Jingyun had been assigned to supervise the country, he still had to read some memorials in person.
And personal bodyguard Bai Han was standing guard beside him, refusing to leave even a step.
After being busy for a while, Xiao An suddenly stopped writing and looked up at Bai Han, "What time is it now?"
Bai Han stepped forward, bowed, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's past the third watch. You'd better rest early."
Xiao An shook his head, stood up, and moved his body slightly.
"It's still early. By the way, has Liu Xiangnan arrived at Xiangguo Temple?"
"Your Majesty, he has been sent to Xiangguo Temple, and he has been guarded according to your instructions. Outsiders will never miss him."
Xiao An suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Bai Han, "Do you think I'm going too far?"
