Only when you travel quickly can you avoid being a stepping stone for the protagonist.

Nan An hesitated, "Tell me, could it be that the king buried the body underneath the roses so red? The blood was absorbed by the roses, so the roses would be as red as blood."

[The truth about the palace: 25%]

Hearing the beep on the game panel, it seemed that Nan An was right.

Their progress can be described as rapid. This is only the first day that they can dig here.

But this is far from the truth. Next, we should seek information from some key NPCs, so that we can securely occupy the top three positions.

They went to inquire about some guards and maids one after another, but no key information was given, and they found nothing.

Until the captain of the guard walked towards him, as the key figure who knew where the old king was the day before he disappeared, Nan Qian didn't believe that he had no clues on him.

They stopped the captain of the guard and saluted him.

The captain of the guard was obviously different from the flower farmer. He recognized the identities of Nan Qian and Nan An. He returned the salute to them and asked.

"Do you have any orders from Her Royal Highness the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Nan An pretended to be worried: "Oh, I heard that you are my father's most trusted captain of the bodyguard. You had met my father before he disappeared. I just wanted to ask if there is any news about my father?"

Like a daughter anxiously worried about her father.

The captain of the guard showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, we don't have any news about His Highness the King yet. The only reference is that the night before His Highness the King disappeared, a guard on guard saw a dark shadow passing by the King's house. bedroom."

"So it's very dangerous recently. If you can, please don't go out at night."

[Find the old king: 20%]

"Thank you very much, kindhearted captain of the guard, we won't go out at night." Nan Qian responded.

"But can you tell us where in the palace the king's study and bedroom are? So we can avoid these places."

The captain of the guard looked at the beautiful queen who had just entered the palace. He had no doubts. It was normal for him to not know where the king's study and bedroom were since he had just arrived.

The captain of the guard explained the location to them in detail.

"Oh, by the way." Nan Qian stopped the captain of the guard before leaving, "Don't let the guests here know about these things in the palace. This will damage the majesty of the kingdom, so if someone comes to ask you about Please don’t talk about the king’s affairs, okay?”

Nan Qian continued to trip up Linyuan. If she guessed correctly, there should be only one player for each position, so that others would not be deceived.

[Dice points: 92, great success]

[Trigger special effects]

The captain of the guard couldn't help but be fascinated by Nan Qian, and thought to himself: Although the beautiful queen did not have a good relationship with the king, she still maintained the dignity of the royal family. What reason did she have for not helping this beautiful person?

He held his head high and saluted again: "Of course, Your Highness, I will follow your instructions."

He comforted Nan Qian and said, "Your Highness the Queen, don't worry too much. I will try my best to find His Highness the King."

Nan Qian nodded, looking deeply moved: "Thank you, you are really a conscientious and responsible captain of the bodyguard."

Then he and Nan An said goodbye to the captain of the guard, and turned around and headed for the old king's bedroom. Since the captain of the guard said so, he must go and see it.

Perhaps new clues will emerge.

It can be said that the status of queen and princess gives them great convenience. Looking at the players who are assigned to the status of guards and maids, if they want to enter the king's study or bedroom, it will definitely take a lot of effort. .

Anyway, they wouldn't be able to have such unimpeded traffic.

Otherwise, Nan An is the heroine after all, and she still needs to have the halo of the protagonist.

With the convenience of their status, they entered the old king's study smoothly.

The study room is gorgeously decorated, and there is nothing strange about it, but since the clues point here, it must not be as ordinary as it appears.

Nan An looked at the neatly arranged bookshelves and had an idea.

[Dice points: 84, success]

She immediately felt that something was wrong with one of the dusty books. The other books had covers, but this one was placed casually in the corner. If you didn't pay attention, it would not be noticeable at all.

Nan An took the book and opened it. It turned out to be a diary written by the old king himself?

She called Nan Qian over and looked at the diary together.

Only some key things are recorded here.

[I finally married my lover. Although she doesn’t want to, I am already the king of this kingdom. She will marry me even if she doesn’t want to! 】

[In order to please her, I built a garden in the backyard and planted all the red roses she likes... Finally I saw her smile, she is so beautiful. 】

[My lover left me forever. What she said to me before leaving was to take care of her flowers? 】

【...I think I saw her in the garden? Am I hallucinating? But...these flowers are so red, as beautiful as her...]

[I have found a way to make the rose redder. In order to make her better, even if I do it and people will criticize it, so what, as long as she is happy...]

This seemed to be just the old king's diary of missing his first queen, until Nan Qian and the others saw the last page.

[These beautiful girls are really suitable for flower fertilizer. Look, I have made your roses so beautiful. Can you show up again and let me see you? 】

[The new queen is very beautiful, but not as good as my lover. 】

[New Queen is very suitable for making flower fertilizer. 】

[Have a banquet, find someone to blame, and blame him for the death of the new queen. 】

[It’s been very uneasy recently. It seems that someone discovered what I was doing. I must eliminate him before the banquet. 】

[Damn it, he discovered it. Fortunately, the darkroom in the bedroom...]

The diary ends here.

[Find the old king: 40%]

[The truth about the palace: 50%]

The progress bar of the column about the truth about the palace skyrocketed, and it was halfway to the progress in one fell swoop.

It seems that the next clue points to the old king's study.

But time no longer allowed them to explore a scene, and they were soon called by the maids to enjoy dinner.

I saw Lin Yuan on the way. He looked bad and didn't seem to have any clues.

Seeing Nan Qian's sarcastic look by accident, he immediately understood who was up to something.

He looked at Nan An in disbelief. Nan An had a cold look on his face. He should not give him a good look towards someone with ill intentions.

His face was gloomy, and he said harsh words to Nan Qian and the others.

"Just wait."

Nan Qian doesn't care, sooner or later they will have enemies anyway.

His mood was not affected by this incident at all, and he enjoyed his dinner happily. After making an appointment with Nan An to meet the next day, they each returned to their rooms.

In the silent night, a scream suddenly sounded, followed by noisy sounds.
