The war situation is unstable, and even though the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there is still a smell of approaching storm in Beijing.

Only Mrs. Shangguan is in a good mood. Her son has already set off for half a month. If nothing happens, he will reach the northwest smoothly in ten days.

Fusang's prince and envoys were about to arrive in Beijing, and she was busy buying new clothes and jewelry for Shangguan Mingzhu, so that she could stand out at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and capture the prince's heart.

After taking a nap that day, she took her two maids and walked slowly to the Jingsi Pavilion. It was quiet and enshrined the Bodhisattva. It was her favorite place to go when she was in a bad mood.

Rarely visited by other people in the house, it was considered her private resting space.

She went to read a volume of scripture and picked up beans, and her heart finally calmed down. When she walked out of the Jingsi Pavilion, the sun was already setting.

The eldest maid was behind her, reporting to her in a low voice what was going on in the house. She listened absentmindedly, only feeling that her heartbeat was abnormal and her chest felt tight.

"Go and deliver the message in person, and let a doctor with good medical skills come into the house..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a "bang" and a black shadow fell from the sky and fell at her feet.

Blood spattered on her shoes and skirt, and the people on the ground were bruised and bloody, staring at her with wide, blood-red eyes.

It's full of resentment, and I won't rest in peace.

"what!"

"Ah, dead!"

The two maids let out shrill screams of fear. Mrs. Shangguan shook her head and fell to the ground unable to say a word.

The young master who once called her "aunt" Zhilan Yushu with a smile fell to death in front of her, his flesh and blood were mangled and his face was hideous.

She was out of breath, clutching her chest and retching. Thinking of the seven-month-old child who had turned into a human form was a nightmare she had been having for a long time.

"It's evil, it's all evil..."

She murmured something crazy and fainted completely.

Shangguan Mingzhu, who came in a hurry, was also frightened and developed a fever that night.

As Sheng Yuting died tragically after jumping from the roof of the building, the two mistresses of the Shangguan family fell ill.

Shangguanchuan ordered the news to be blocked. He had already sensed something was wrong with his years of experience and intuition, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Moreover, he has been involved in court affairs in recent troubled times. Every matter is not a trivial matter. He must deal with it with energy and cannot be distracted from housework.

He said solemnly, "I just hope everything goes well with Mo Yao."

The staff member said, "In a few days, the prince will arrive in the northwest."

In the end, he asked the queen for help, and the queen sent the female officials and nannies she could use to sit in the official house in the town. For a while, everything was calm, and no one dared to act like a monster.

Today was Miss Gu Er's birthday. Jiang Xuening found a reason to leave the house. The eldest lady was already used to her going her own way.

She went to Jiang Li's house and ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious dishes, all of which were the second sister's favorites.

Jiang Li asked, "She will be buried in the capital, won't she pay tribute?"

"It's not the right time to go." She drank a glass of wine. "It's easy to leave clues."

Jiang Li looked at the map and counted the time, "Today's midnight is the time when Shangguan Mo Yao will pay for his life."

Jiang Xuening, "I will use his blood and head to wish the second sister a happy birthday!"

She sat outside until midnight, looking up at the moon, "The blood moon tonight is extremely cold."

Thousands of miles away in the northwest border, in a maple leaf forest, the ground was covered with blood.

Shangguan Mo Yao was stabbed through the heart by a sword. He fell to the ground holding the sword and asked unwillingly, "Why?"

"Who is behind this, wanting to kill me."

Wu Jin, "You owe someone a life."

Too many people died at his hands, and there were also many enemies of the Shangguan family. He couldn't think of who had done it for a while.

Wu Jin turned his wrist and let the sword stir in his body, "Young master, you are really a noble man who forgets things. Master asked me to ask you, your great love that stepped on human blood, didn't you feel uneasy at all when you dreamed about it at midnight? ?”

Shangguan Mo Yao opened his eyes in disbelief, "So why is the second young lady of the Gu family here?"

After saying that, he denied himself, "It's impossible. The Gu family is dead. Who will stand up for her?"

He seemed to have thought of a horrifying fact, "Is there anyone alive in the Gu family?"

"Who is it? Tell me who it is?"

Wu Jin silently uttered three words, "Gu Mingyue..."

In his frightened eyes, he drew his sword and said, "Master said, even if your body is gone, it will not be able to eliminate the hatred in her heart."

He had too much to say, but he couldn't say a word. He could only lower his hands feebly and die without closing his eyes.

Wu Jin led the people out of the maple forest and raised his hand, and soon a fire engulfed the entire maple forest.

There were no bones left of the people in the maple forest, and they were completely turned into ashes.

The news of Shangguan Mo Yao's tragic death was rushed back to Beijing seven days later.

Mrs. Shangguan was so shocked that she vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and died in bed that night.

Both the female officer and the experienced nun sensed something was wrong. Unfortunately, even if they alerted the palace doctor, the final conclusion was that Mrs. Shangguan was weak, had heart palpitations, and died of anger due to great grief.

Shangguan Mingzhu couldn't accept it, and said with swollen eyes, "My cousin jumped to his death within a month, my eldest brother died on the northwest road, and my mother also died... How could it be an accident?"

"There is definitely someone behind it, and I want the person behind it to die a good death."

Shangguanchuan lost his wife and son, and has aged a lot. He said goodbye to the servants and looked at Mammy with sharp eyes, "What do you think, Mammy?"

No nun who can live in the palace and sit in a high position is easy, especially those who are masters in the affairs of the back house.

Mammy was unambiguous and said directly, "The person who arranged the plan is a master. He started with the affairs of the back house that he couldn't afford, and planned every step to kill him with one strike."

Such a method would be first-class even in the palace.

Shangguanchuan, "Look, who did it?"

Mammy lowered her head and said, "I don't dare to speak nonsense."

On the day of the funeral of Shangguan Moyao and Shangguan's wife, Jiang Xuening was dressed beautifully and watched from the dark in bright clothes.

She spilled the wine on the ground and said, "Second sister, rest in peace."

And the child who died tragically without being masked must live in a good family in his next life, be born under the expectations of his parents, and grow up safely and happily.

In the palace, Xiao Shujin leaned against his seat with a headache. After listening to the report from the grandma, his face was pale and weak, and he slowly said, "What do you think, grandma?"

"The person who did this must hate the Crown Prince very much."

"Do you hate him?" Xiao Shujin turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, "There are not many people who hate him and can make Yuting willing to jump off the building and die in the end."

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became a little depressing, and no one dared to answer the question.

Xiao Shujin chuckled, "The Gu family is really haunted."

The confidant female officer pressed her head and said cautiously, "Is there anyone who is suspicious of your Majesty?"

"Isn't it ready-made?"

The female officer said hesitantly, "Jiang Xuening?"

Xiao Shujin narrowed her eyes, "It's time to meet her."
