Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

The fireworks show lasted for a while before it ended. When Ye Fan and Liu Mengying returned to their seats, they found that the half-eaten mooncakes were not in the fruit plate.

"What the hell?"

Ye Fan was puzzled for a while, "Has someone taken away the half-eaten mooncake?"

"Brother...could it be that the servants thought we didn't want to eat, so they took it away and cleaned it up...that's not right...if the servants came to clean it up, they took away the entire fruit plate and replaced it with a new one, no. I will only take away the half-eaten mooncake……”

"This fruit plate has not been replaced. I remember the melon in this corner very clearly..."

Liu Mengying frowned and analyzed.

"Ok?"

At this time, Ye Fan found traces of movement under the fruit plate. He picked up the fruit plate and found a note underneath.

"Brother, it seems that someone invited us to a place~"

Liu Mengying looked at the note and said in surprise.

"Let's go and have a look~"

Ye Fan looked around, then strode in one direction, and Liu Mengying quickly followed.

..........

After a while, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying came to a rather secluded corner of the corridor, exactly where the note said.

"Big brother, there is no one~!"

Liu Mengying looked around and muttered.

"here!"

As soon as Liu Mengying finished speaking, a female voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a door at the corner of the corridor opened, and a woman in white palace clothes appeared in Ye Fan and Liu Mengying's field of vision. It was Yu Youwei.

"It's you?!"

"People who want to steal mooncakes?!"

Seeing the woman in white palace clothes, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying spoke out one after another.

Hearing Liu Mengying's words, Yu Youwei blushed, "I...I...I was attracted by the aroma of the mooncakes...I couldn't help but reach out, no...I didn't mean to steal them specifically. ………”

"moon cake?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly and said suspiciously: "You were the one who left us the note... You didn't take the half of the mooncake on the fruit plate, right?"

"It's...it's me!"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Yu Youwei's face turned even redder.

"What are you doing with that half of the mooncake? You won't throw it away, right? That mooncake is delicious..."

Liu Mengying obviously cared about the half piece of mooncake. After all, Ye Fan didn't make many mooncakes. After eating last night and tonight, there was not much left.

"me…….."

Yu Youwei murmured, and Xiafei's cheeks and even the roots of her ears turned red again.

"What did you come to us for?"

At this time, Ye Fan spoke again.

"Can... can you give me another moon cake..."

Yu Youwei looked at Ye Fan expectantly. She swallowed the two halves of the piece she just ate and forgot to taste them carefully...

"this………."

Ye Fan looked at Yu Youwei with a rather puzzled look, and finally with a flash of light on his hand, he took a mooncake from the Naxuan Ring and handed it to her.

"Thank you!"

Yu Youwei happily opened the paper bag, took a bite, and chewed carefully.

"It's really...it tastes like home...it's the kind of mooncakes made by my mother..."

Yu Youwei burst into tears as she ate.

"???"

This scene made both Ye Fan and Liu Mengying have question marks on their foreheads.

"Brother, even if this mooncake is delicious... it won't make you cry, right?"

Seeing this, Liu Mengying leaned into Ye Fan's ear and murmured.

"This...this sister...I...let me give you a piece of mine..."

Liu Mengying saw Yu Youwei nibbling in small mouths, her tears falling like pearls, and she looked very sad. She thought that the other party had never eaten this kind of moon cake. She felt that the moon cake was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat the only remaining moon cake on her body. Hand a piece of moon cake to the other party.

"Okay, thank you…….."

Yu Youwei was slightly stunned and took the mooncake handed over by Liu Mengying.

Suddenly, Yu Youwei's expression changed, and she whispered anxiously to Ye Fan and Liu Mengying: "You guys should leave here quickly. If anyone asks, just say you have never seen me!"

After saying that, before Ye Fan and Liu Mengying could respond, Yu Youwei ran away quickly.

"What the hell is this?"

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Ok?"

At this time, Ye Fan frowned slightly. He turned to look at the end of the corridor and saw a figure in gray clothes and a black hat walking over.

There was black gauze hanging around the bamboo hat, making it difficult to see the other person's face clearly.

The figure in the black bamboo hat walked straight towards them, and soon passed by Ye Fan and Liu Mengying. Neither of them spoke.

"Big brother, Sister Ning is here~"

The figure in the black hat had not yet left. Liu Mengying saw a woman in purple gauze and a cyan mask appearing at the end of the corridor, and she immediately spoke out.

"Zi Mo, who was the man in the black hat just now?"

Ye Fan looked at the direction where the figure in the black hat had left and frowned slightly.

"It's Princess Yuanzheng, the bodyguard of Yu Youwei!"

Ning Zimo responded quickly.

"Um... Ye Fan, the princess just... took away your half-eaten moon cake... I don't know why..."

After a pause, Ning Zimo spoke again.

"I'll go...it's really like this~"

Although he had guessed it before, Ye Fan was still quite surprised after Ning Zimo confirmed it.

"Maybe it's because she wants to eat mooncakes. This mooncake is quite delicious... I'll give you one too~"

With that said, Ye Fan also handed Ning Zimo an oil paper bag, then turned and left.

"This... the princess of King Yuanzheng eats mooncakes that others have eaten?"

…………..

The matter of Yu Youwei did not attract too much attention from Ye Fan and Liu Mengying. Early the next morning, the two went to Weiming Lake, while Yu Youwei got on the carriage back to the capital.

Jiangzhou city suburb,

Inside a very luxurious carriage,

Yu Youwei squeezed the mooncake bag in her hand tightly. She turned to look behind the carriage. Although her sight was blocked by the carriage compartment, she knew that there was Jiangzhou City... the person who could make mooncakes that tasted like her childhood. Right there………….

"Ye Fan... Liu Mengying..."

...........

at noon,

A small island in Weiming Lake,

"Brother, do you think the owner of this skeleton... also died at the hands of the person who killed Lin He?"

Liu Mengying saw Ye Fan sizing up a weathered skeleton for a while and couldn't help but speak.

She remembered that Ye Fan had paid special attention to this skeleton before. At that time, it was because of the strange causes of death of the Zeng family members...

"It's not necessarily the same person...but the method is the same..."

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "The cracks on this skeleton are the same as the scars on Lin He's bones. They are caused by his own periosteum and muscles..."

"And how should I put it... This whole island gives me a very awkward feeling..."

"These white bones scattered on the ground... are definitely not formed in a battle... some span even more than a hundred years..."

Ye Fan spoke quickly.

"Brother, could it be that someone else came here to explore before us, but was killed? Or was there internal strife or something like that?"

Liu Mengying frowned slightly and continued.

"This is the weird place..."

Ye Fan glanced around, "If another expedition team comes here, whether it's internal strife or something else, there should be signs of fighting or struggle at the scene..."

"But when we came here, we didn't find such traces..."

"Look at the skeletons about three meters in front of you to your right, two and a half meters in front, and about five meters behind you... They seem to have suddenly appeared on the pile of bones... and some of them died because their heads were penetrated. Some of them had been chopped with many knives, but there were no signs of fighting at the scene. It was as if these corpses suddenly appeared here out of thin air..."

Ye Fan quickly explained.

"Indeed!"

Liu Mengying nodded.

"Bang~kaka~"

"Ka~bangka~"

Suddenly, there was a huge noise not far ahead, but it was the huge stone that appeared from nowhere.

"Brother, it seems that part of the mountain collapsed again~"

"Let's go over and have a look~"
