Princess Yuejiao abandoned the maids around her and rushed to Lan Xiu in a sprint. She grabbed her hands tightly and cried with joy, "Lan Xiu, where have you been these days? I can't find you. I thought you..."
Lan Xiu's nose was sore, "I have been thinking of Your Highness all this time. Fortunately, with the blessing of the demon god, I can come back and continue to serve you..."
Xiang Shen looked on, thoughtfully.
Seeing Lan Xiu's return, Princess Yuejiao was too excited this time. Rather than saying that she had a deep relationship between master and servant, she felt like she had seen a savior.
Naturally, Yue Jiao and the other two did not notice anything strange about Xiang Shu. They briefly reminisced about old times. Princess Yue Jiao then said, "Don't talk so much, let's go in first."
At this point, she noticed Xiang Shu next to Lan Xiu and couldn't help but wonder: "This little girl is..."
"She is Yue'er."
Lan Xiu looked at Princess Yuejiao sincerely, "Your Highness, if I hadn't been with her along the way, I might not have been able to make it back.
For the sake of your slave, can you take her in and serve as a maid in Silou? "
"This is simple."
Yue Jiao smiled, "How about she start as a third-class maid and follow you around?"
Lan Xiu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Okay, let's talk after we go in."
Lanxiu and Yuejiao obviously still have a lot to talk about.
Xiang Shen followed the others through the door, and soon separated from the two of them, and was taken away by another maid to bathe and change clothes.
Because of Lan Xiu's relationship, even though she had just entered Silou, the maids did not dare to look down on her. Instead, they mostly flattered her.
Xiang Shen also used this to find out the general situation in the thinking building, and at the same time finally understood why Wandieping took such pains to send her in here.
It turns out that this Si Tower is not only the residence of Princess Yuejiao, but also the dormitory where the female king of the two kings, the Demon King Xuesu, most often lives.
She leaned against the side of the bath, a glimmer of light flashing across her eyes.
Although she guessed that there was a 90% chance that the twin kings were the parents of her eldest brother Wang Tuo, she had to contact them personally and test them out before she could fully confirm them.
Moreover, not to mention the 10% uncertainty, even if she was completely sure, she could not go directly to reveal her identity.
The purpose of the fifth palace master is unknown, but the one behind the Wandie King is here for the two kings.
She still doesn't know how many of those people in Si Lou are his informants. If you put yourself in the light now, you will only alert the snake. .z.
She had to think carefully about how to contact Xuesu Demon King without attracting attention...
While Xiang Shen was thinking quietly, Yue Jiao recovered from her illness and entered the dormitory with Lan Xiu. Her originally rosy face immediately turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a little bloodshot eyes overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
Lan Xiu was shocked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"fine."
Yuejiao shook her head and held Lan Xiu's hand tightly. Her knuckles turned white and her throat was choked.
"I'm just, so scared.
During the month when you were away, I didn’t dare to believe anyone, and I didn’t dare to expose my injuries, so I could only hold on. "
Lan Xiu felt distressed, "Your Highness, this is Si Lou, your home. No one will harm you here."
"No."
Yue Jiao wiped the blood from her mouth and took a deep breath, "If my wife hadn't done it, how could our whereabouts last time be exposed?"
As soon as these words came out, Lan Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, "Your Highness, are you saying... that the murderer who has been killing all your Highnesses is one of your own?"
"Fifteen years."
Yue Jiao looked bitter, "I watched my brothers and sisters die unexpectedly one by one, and now, it's my turn after all.
I have a hunch. "
Yue Jiao looked tense, "The other side will not give up. If they miss once, they will come back to kill me soon."
"Your Highness is not afraid."
Lan Xiu held Yue Jiao's hands and said, "I immediately started investigating the servants and evacuated those with unknown origins.
superior
After the attack, all the maids you trained for you are almost dead, but there is still a young girl available. She went to get the medicine pill, and I will stay with you, Your Highness, to take care of her.
There are restrictions everywhere in Silou. As long as we don't go out, the enemy in the dark won't be able to find a chance. "
Under Lan Xiu's comfort, Princess Yuejiao's tense mind for the past few days suddenly relaxed a lot. She soon felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Lan Xiu stayed by Yue Jiao's side until she fell asleep, then quietly left to arrange many trivial matters in the palace.
This busy work continued until dusk.
When Lan Xiu returned to her residence in the Bright Moon Side Hall, she saw Xiang Shen in the next room who was seriously reciting the building rules under the lamp in front of the table. She couldn't help but smile and called out softly: "Yue'er."
Xiang Shu had long heard the news of Lan Xiu's return, but at this moment he still raised his head in feint of surprise and stood up quickly to greet her, "Sister Lan, you are finally back."
Lan Xiu smiled, pulled Xiang Shu and walked inside, asking, "I have a lot of trivial matters today and I can't take care of you. Are you still used to living here?"
Xiang Shen immediately nodded and said, "The food, clothing, and accommodation here are much better than those in the slave prison!"
"That's fine, but as attendants, we must not forget our duties."
Lan Xiu said, taking a map from the bookshelf and placing it in front of Xiang Shen, "This is the topographic map of Si Lou. In the next two days, in addition to memorizing the rules of the building, you must also write down the map to avoid I got lost in the building and bumped into the owner, do you understand?"
"knew."
Xiang Shen responded, scanning the map, and immediately discovered that nearly half of the area on the map was dyed red.
Princess Yuejiao's residence is in the southwest corner, and the red area is in the northeast corner. Could it be...
Her heart moved slightly, and she pointed directly at the red *** field and asked: "What is here?"
"I was just about to talk to you."
Lan Xiu looked serious and warned: "You must not go through this red area, otherwise your life may be in danger."
Xiang Shen showed a cooperative expression of surprise, "Afraid of life?"
"good."
Lan Xiu's tone slowed down: "This matter involves Wang Zun. It is not a secret in Silou, but it is somewhat taboo. Once you know it, don't mention it in front of anyone."
"Sister Lan, don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety."
After receiving Xiang Shu's assurance, Lan Xiu's brows relaxed slightly and she sighed softly before speaking.
"Fifteen years ago, Wang Zun suddenly contracted a strange disease. He lost control of his mind and became coerced.
The demon king's pressure was so astonishing that most of the maids and servants in the Si Tower died in an instant, including the eldest maid who had served the king for many years.
Wang Zun has always been a kind-hearted person. After he woke up, he was depressed for a long time and injured the foundation of his soul several times. Even now, after recuperation, the disease is not completely cured. Around noon and midnight every day, Wang Zun's pressure will be out of control, spreading and maintaining. The length of time varies.
The red *** area on this map is the area where the king's pressure spreads out. We, the servants with low cultivation level, will fall into coma at the slightest touch, and die in the worst case.
You must remember not to run around until you have clearly memorized the terrain, otherwise your life may be in danger. "
Xiang Shen nodded repeatedly to express his understanding, then frowned and said: "Sister Lan, you said that Wang Zun has such a strange disease, doesn't it mean that no one can come close to serve him?
In the past fifteen years, has Wang Zun stayed alone in this area? "
"Who said no?"
Lan Xiu pursed her lips and chuckled: "After that incident, His Highness Wen Shen was lucky enough to buy a personal maid with closed senses for the king to control.
Monsters with closed senses are naturally unable to practice.
However, it can perfectly withstand the impact of the demon king's coercion. Such demons are extremely rare. I heard that His Highness Wen Shen spent a whole year searching in the slave shop before finding one. "
Xiang Shen suddenly nodded and asked curiously: "Who is His Highness Wen Shen?"
"He is Wang Zun's eldest son."
Lan Xiu paused and then said: "They say he is the eldest son, but in fact His Highness Wen Shen is just
Just like our Highness, they are both adopted sons and daughters by Wang Zun.
His Highness Wen Shen was the first son adopted by Wang Zun, so he was called His Highness, and some also called him Young King.
As long as you know these past events, you can't talk about them outside. "
"clear."
Lan Xiu started talking, and then talked about a series of past events about Princess Yuejiao's attack. She didn't go back to the next door to rest until it was too late.
Xiang Shu turned off the spirit stone lamp and sat in the darkness, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Lan Xiu's frankness saved her a lot of effort to find out the information.
That Yue Jiao was a white lynx, not a tiger. The first time she saw Yue Jiao, she knew that she was the adopted daughter of the Demon King and not her biological child.
But he never thought that the adopted sons and daughters adopted by Demon King Xue Su were not just Yue Jiao, but a total of sixteen.
But as of now, only Yuejiao and Wen Shen are dead.
The Demon King Seolsu fell into a strange illness, and her adopted son and daughter were assassinated one after another, all starting fifteen years ago.
This can't be a coincidence, there must be some connection.
There was currently insufficient information, and she could not speculate on the specific connection.
But the most urgent task now is to find out whether King Xuesu came from the Demon King Valley, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.
"Yue Jiao was so frightened that she only trusted Lan Xiu and a maid named Qing'er, and Qing'er had to go to the alchemy room to get medicine for Yue Jiao every seven days..."
"There is a certain distance between the alchemy room and Yuejiao's dormitory. There are many edges in the area marked in red..."
Thoughts flashed through one after another, and a complete plan gradually emerged in Xiang Shu's mind.
The next day, Xiang Shu followed Lan Xiu's instructions and wandered around the thinking building.
With her ability, whether it is a map or building rules, she can memorize them at a glance. Of course I am not going out for a walk now just to get familiar with the terrain.
She walked to the edge of a relatively remote red area, and after making sure no one was watching, she walked a little further in, but she didn't feel any pressure at all.
Noon has arrived, Xiang Shu is not in a hurry and continues to wait patiently.
After another stick of incense, a pressure suddenly erupted from the northeast, and then spread suddenly, hitting Xiang Shu head-on, as if hitting a copper wall, and dispersed.
Xiang Shu pointed his fingers together to intercept a ray of pressure and sensed it briefly.
Late stage of condensation...
She narrowed her eyes slightly, took a step back, and exited the coercive range.
The Demon King in the late stage of Condensation is equivalent to the late stage of Human Race God Transformation. Even if she uses both powers to offset each other, she is definitely no match.
However, if it was just pressure, and she stood at the core of the explosion of pressure, at most her true energy would be suppressed, but her physical actions would not be affected.
Once this is confirmed, the plan is half successful.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu smiled slightly and turned to leave.
