As soon as she finished speaking, Pu Yangxuan came in from outside with a pot of flower tea.

The two glanced at each other, Xue Jinyi stopped her pen and asked, "Who found out, did the guards watch and didn't let anyone approach?" ”

Qinglan said: "It was discovered by the patrol guards, when two people watched the wellhead, and the others searched around, but did not find any suspicious traces and people." ”

"What about blood? Fresh, or stale? ”

"Fresh, not quite dry yet. The guards smelled it, most likely human blood. Speaking of this, Qinglan's shoulders shook, "The guard threw his torch and went down the dry well, but it was too deep to see anything clearly. ”

Xue Jinyi instructed: "Tell the guards not to guard too tightly and stare at the hidden place." Then call Steward Shen, quietly count whether there are fewer people in the house, and try to check who is injured. ”

Qinglan commanded, "...... King Chu, princess, do you have any other commands? ”

"Not yet, you can go first." Xue Jinyi nodded, and then said to Pu Yangxuan: "The black cat didn't make any trouble last time, and this time it's a little more ruthless." ”

"It's time to make a move," Pu Yangxuan said slowly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to guard against it next time." ”

Xue Jinyi sighed, "I was thinking of driving away one or two people, and I would find a way to stuff people into the palace outside, so it is better to use the slightly familiar ones first, and then drive them out when they find a suitable person to fill in." I didn't expect them to be more and more ruthless. ”

Pu Yangxuan poured a cup of tea for her, and the sweet fragrance of flowers came to her nose and was refreshing, "You can also think of it this way, newcomers are not familiar with the situation in the house, and it is easy to show their feet and find out what is wrong, and it is easier to have a reason to drive away." This man changed and changed, but he couldn't do anything. ”

Xue Jinyi smiled and took a sip of flower tea, "Ah Xuan is right. ”

Suddenly, Mama Yao's exclamation sounded outside, "Uncle, Miss, come out and have a look!" ”

Serial accidents? Xue Jinyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked out of the study with Pu Yangxuan.

Mama Yao's face was full of panic, and when she saw them coming, she raised her hand to the sky, "Look at it! ”

Xue Jinyi looked up, the bright moon was still on the dark night sky, but tonight the moon was shrouded in a faint layer of blood, making the moonlight scattered down was strangely bleak and weird.

"It's ...... It's a blood moon! Mama Yao shrunk her neck and blocked in front of Xue Jinyi, preventing them from going further into the courtyard, "This is a bad omen, something big is going to happen!" ”

"......" Xue Jinyi said calmly: "Mama, don't panic, there is a big layer in the sky that we can't see...... Well, the aura of heaven and earth, they sometimes block out other colors, leaving only red, so there is a blood moon, which is not a bad omen. ”

"Huh?" Mama Yao couldn't quite understand.

Pu Yangxuan looked at his wife with interest, it was the first time he had heard of such an explanation, and he didn't know which book she had read it from.

"Ah Jin is right." He spoke, his tone firm and unwavering, "It's just an accidental celestial phenomenon, don't mess with yourself." ”

Xue Jinyi squinted at the blood moon and chuckled, "No wonder it has been calm for a few days, and it has been chosen until today." I guess there's going to be news here in a moment. ”

Pu Yangxuan smiled and said, "Then please Princess Chu show her might." ”

"But you are the boss of the Chu Palace," Xue Jinyi responded with a smile, "I'm in charge, I'm afraid that I will be said to be the wife of the King of Chu." ”

"I'm happy." Pu Yangxuan grabbed her waist, "The Chu Wangfu is the home of the two of us, isn't it the same if you are in charge?" ”

Xue Jinyi deliberately didn't buy it, and snorted coldly: "Isn't that all big and small things pushed on me, you flicked your two arms, and you were at ease?" ”

Pu Yangxuan owes his body and looks flattering, "Pu is willing to serve the princess of Chu for the work of dogs and horses." ”

"Poof-" Xue Jinyi was amused by his appearance, and after holding up his arm, she said seriously: "This is what you said." ”

"What I said," Pu Yangxuan frowned seriously, "I will never regret it, it is good to do this for the rest of my life." ”

The two of them talked and laughed, so that the atmosphere in the courtyard that was low because of the blood moon finally lightened a little, and the panic on Mama Yao's face gradually disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and stood quietly next to her, not wanting to disturb them.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the courtyard wall, not loud, but it was a little harsh inside and outside the silent courtyard wall.

Qinglan walked in quickly, "King Chu, princess, the guards grabbed a mother-in-law in the garden, who was the one who died in the Hu Xu's mansion last time. ”

"The surname is Dong?" Xue Jinyi looked at the courtyard wall, "Bring someone in for questioning." ”

If you toss and ask questions somewhere else, you are afraid that you will alarm others.

Qinglan beckoned the guards to escort Mrs. Dong in, and made her kneel on the ground in the middle of the courtyard, closing the courtyard door.

Xue Jinyi didn't move, and glanced at Qinglan, who asked sharply, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the garden?" ”

Mrs. Dong muttered: "The slave can't sleep, and wants to walk around the garden and blow the wind." ”

"Blowing?" The guard sneered and pulled something out of Mrs. Dong's arms, "What are you doing with a gong in the wind?" ”

The small gong glowed coldly in the moonlight, shining on Mrs. Dong's pale face.

She trembled and shouted: "Princess, this mansion is really too evil, look at the blood moon tonight, the bad omen is in the sky, you can't be a child's play!" ”

"The blood moon is not a blood moon, and it has nothing to do with you." Xue Jinyi said coldly: "You just need to answer, what are you going to do when you appear in the garden in the middle of the night with a gong?" ”

Mrs. Dong opened her mouth, and she had an idea, "The slave blows the wind, and by the way, I will fight!" The house hasn't arranged a shift until now, and if it delays anyone's time, it's not good, right? ”

"That's right."

Mrs. Dong didn't hear the meaning of doubt from Xue Jinyi's tone, and she was overjoyed, especially when she saw Xue Jinyi walking in front of her with a kind face, she felt that she must have believed her words.

"That's your fault." Xue Jinyi leaned down and held Mrs. Dong's arm.

"Princess?" Qinglan and the others were surprised.

Only Pu Yangxuan waited silently.

Mrs. Dong was flattered, "Princess Chu, it's okay for the slave maid, it's good if you believe that the slave maid is innocent." ”

Xue Jinyi smiled, and suddenly grabbed Mrs. Dong's arm fiercely, twisted it vigorously, and still smiled gently and elegantly on her face, "Hurry up." ”

Who knows, Mrs. Dong not only did not get up with her movements, but instead screamed "ouch", tried her best to shake off Xue Jinyi's hand, covered her arms, and fell to the ground in pain.

Xue Jinyi's eyes calmly looked at the faint blood stains on her fingers, and then looked at Mrs. Dong who was rolling on the ground in pain.

Qinglan received Xue Jinyi's signal, commanded the guards to set up Mrs. Dong, and then ripped off her sleeves.

Under the moonlight and the light, the wound on Dong Pozi's arm was clearly visible, and it was pinched by Xue Jinyi before it healed, and the blood kept gushing out, and the small half of her arm was dyed red.
