withered prosperity

When He Li was having a headache, Murongji asked Yan Hai what he thought of that sentence.

"No matter from the words of that maidservant or Mr. Bai, Second Miss Bai behaved abnormally on the day of the accident. So, has such abnormal behavior happened before? If so, when did it start? ?" Yan Hai walked up to them and glanced at the blood on the ground. "Maybe if we find out the time and reason of the beginning, we will be able to know why she is abnormal. As for the others...there are so many servants in this house, and the young lady is accompanied by maidservants when she goes in and out. It is not difficult to check."

What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and everyone listened to it.

"That day..." Bai Yinuo saw that everyone was looking at him, so he thought about it: "That morning, the second sister went to the palace to meet the imperial concubine, and came back in the afternoon, and she hasn't been out since then, but Everyone was there at dinner that day, and I didn't see anything wrong with her."

Murong Ji and Yan Hai glanced at each other.

"In the palace?" Murong Ji asked Bai Yinuo: "What is she going to do in the palace?"

"After returning to Shangjing, she has to go to the inner palace almost every day. It's because the marriage seems to be settled. The imperial concubine has a lot of things to tell her."

"Will someone follow you when you go to the palace?"

"Second sister's personal maid, Zhixin, is the maid who was sent to deliver the letter. Now she..."

"Still in the prison department." Murong Ji replied: "She is closely related to this matter, so I will keep her."

Having said that, everyone suddenly fell silent.

If this matter is finally involved in the inner palace...

"Then, since we've finished watching, let's pay our condolences to Second Miss!" Yin Yutang said.

Everyone followed him outside.

When passing through the rockery cave, in the darkness, Yan Hai's shoulders were grabbed behind him by a pair of slightly cool hands.

"Young Master Yan." Yun Ji's deliberately low voice rang in his ears. "Be careful, the ground is slippery."

Yan Hai suddenly let out a low cry.

"What's the matter?" Yin Yutang had already walked outside, turned his head and asked the two people walking at the back: "Young Master Yan, are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Yan Hai's voice came out: "I just... my feet are a little slippery."

"Does it matter?" Yin Yutang was even going to go back and have a look.

But just as he stepped out, Yan Hai had already come out.

"I'm fine." Probably because of being frightened, Yan Hai's face turned red, and he pulled his collar before saying, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern."

Yin Yutang felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see what was wrong.

Yan Hai made a gesture of invitation, so he could only go forward first.

Yan Hai turned his head and glanced at Yun Ji standing behind him.

The corners of Yun Ji's mouth raised slightly.

Yan Hai involuntarily pulled his collar again, and then followed Yin Yutang to the room decorated as a mourning hall.

He Li and Murong Ji stood a little far away, He Li briefly said about the crossbow|arrow, and Murong Ji's eyes on Yan Hai changed again.

With Bai Yinuo in the lead, everyone entered the mourning hall one by one.

After serving Bai Lele, Bai Yinuo sent the servants out, and asked them to close the door.

The room suddenly became dark. The coffin was placed in the center of the room, and two banners crossed and hung down on the coffin, just looking at it gave people a chill.

"He Li." Murong Ji said, "Open the coffin."

Upon hearing this, He Li stepped forward to salute the coffin and said he was offended, he pushed a corner of the coffin lid away, and then gently removed it on the other side.

Murong Ji looked at Yan Hai.

Yan Hai nodded towards him, and the two approached the coffin at the same time.

Bai Lele was already petite, but now that she was put in the coffin, she looked even weaker and pitiful.

Although she may not be so gentle and kind-hearted, she is just a girl who is not yet in her teens.

Yan Hai felt a little pity in his heart, and couldn't help but sighed.

When Murong Ji heard him sigh, he looked at him suspiciously.

"Mr. Yan." Bai Yinuo couldn't help but said from the side: "Although it is the order of the Holy Majesty, it is also to find out the cause of death, but after all, my second sister is..."

It is extremely inappropriate for Yunying's unmarried woman's body to be surrounded by people after her death. Even in the prison department, those wounds that are not easy to be exposed are inspected by the elderly maid of the Bai family and then dictated, so the womb was dug up. As for the matter, Wei Hengxue only relied on those dictation judgments.

"I just remembered what happened in the past. I didn't intend to do anything profane to the second lady. You can rest assured, Mr. Bai." Yan Hai raised Bai Lele's chin, and slightly opened the several layers of high-layered collars used to cover it. , revealing the extremely deep knife edge. "Perhaps it's like what that old master Bai said, now that I'm older, I'll always feel more emotional when I see such things."

As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle from his bosom, and poured out a transparent thing as thin as a cicada's wing.

Yun Ji recognized that it was used on his face to change his appearance, but this piece was only half the size of a palm.

"Mirage clothes?" Yin Yutang exclaimed from the side.

"My lord has a good memory." Yan Hai glanced at him with a half-smile.

"This is the slough of a deep-sea beast, and it has many uses." He turned his head and explained to Murong Ji: "If you are injured, as long as you can cover the wound completely, it can immediately stop the blood and seal the wound. "

"It also has another function. If Second Miss Bai died of 'extreme poison', then when I cover it, it will absorb all the poison remaining in the corpse."

When he said the word "very poisonous", his tone was a bit strange, Murong Ji didn't notice it, but Yun Ji did.

He remembered the one that was placed at the bottom...with the crack and the strange shiny thing...

"Since we can have..."

"This thing is extremely precious. Except for what I have, it is impossible to have it in the world." Yan Hai interrupted Murongji: "Once it comes into contact with lifeless flesh and blood or that kind of poison, this piece of mirage will disappear from now on." It can no longer be used, if it is not for the face of the prince, I will definitely not take it out."

When Yin Yutang heard that he was using himself as a raft, he could only smile helplessly.

"That kind? Which kind?" Murong Ji finally noticed the weirdness in his words at this moment.

"That 'poison' is very different from ordinary poisons, and it is also extracted from a strange beast." Yan Hai did not hide him, but he did not tell the whole truth: "This poison has a strange nature. , if a man is infected, it will turn into blood in an instant, but a woman will not have this symptom, and there will be no abnormalities on the outside. To put it simply, after being poisoned, she and the county king just met Like those butterflies, they also have the phase of yin and yang differentiation."

"How did you know about this unheard of poison?"

"I grew up on the islands off the east coast, where the customs and customs are very different from those on land, and this is not the only example of strange things."

While speaking, he had already covered the wound on Bai Lele's neck with the "Mage Cloak".

Thinking of those butterflies before, Murong Ji believed it a little bit, but he was still very surprised when he saw the faint light began to gather in the wound.

The doors and windows were all closed, and the light in the room was very dim. Everyone could clearly see that the dots of light began to slowly gather from the wound on Bai Lele's body to the "mirage"...

Everyone was watching the vision with bated breath, only Yun Ji looked at Yan Hai seriously.

The moment Yan Hai saw those flickering lights, although his expression didn't change much, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitched.
