"Has anyone come today?" Lu Zi Nuo frowned and asked anxiously.

"Other than the four female officials from the Food and Agriculture Organization, there's no one else." The Chieh-kun replied, "The princess did not see you after her afternoon rest. At the same time, the princess' maid, Si Qi, also disappeared at the same time. At that time, only the two of them were inside the palace hall. When the time came for the princess to wash up, they found out that the princess had disappeared and that the entire palace had been rummaged through. "

"Servant Si Qi?"

"When I entered the palace at the age of thirteen, I was by Xian An's side. At that time, Xian An was only three years old. In ten years, Xian An believed in her the most, and only believed in her."

"How did you flip it?" Have you checked all the cabinets and boxes? " Since Si Qi had nothing to doubt, Lu Zi Nuo continued to ask.

"They've all been turned over."

"Have you seen it on the beams and on the roof?" Lu Zi Nuo suddenly thought of the various strange cases that the storyteller had mentioned, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, and immediately asked.

Before he finished speaking, Mu Rong Yuan had the Chieh-kun go up to the roof of the hall, while he himself rushed into his bedroom, immediately climbing onto the roof. As expected, he saw Xian An and Si Qi were sleeping soundly on the narrow roof, so he hurriedly stepped forward and carried them down. And this startled Si Qi who was on the beam beside his. With a cry of Ah, her body fell down from the beam.

There was no time to save him, he had already landed on the ground, and a pool of blood gradually split open.

A few timid palace maids screamed, but Lu Zi Nuo's eyes were wide open, unable to make a sound. Until a pair of warm hands wrapped around her eyes and back: "Don't be afraid!"

It was actually Mu Rong Yuan who came. This voice finally caused Lu Zi Nuo to exhale, but Xian An was awoken by the sharp cry. He opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the people in the palace blankly.

Under Xian An's gaze, Lu Zi Nuo laughed bitterly, causing Mu Rong Chun to dismiss her and look at Lu Zi Nuo suspiciously.

Lu Zi Nuo took a deep breath and said, "When I was at the teahouse in Peizhou, I had often heard Teacher Book's words. There was one person who was the best at telling strange cases under the heavens, and one of them was a case where a person had committed suicide. When the victim wakes up or turns over, the victim will naturally fall to the ground, with no chance for survival. Furthermore, most of the people who investigate the crimes will commit suicide to deal with them, so the perpetrator will be able to get away with it. "

"To think that there would be such a method." Mu Rong Chun exhaled a breath of cold air, thinking that if he did not discover it in time, he would have been struck by fear.

Xian An, who had completely recovered from his shock, trembled in fear. Si Qi, my Si Qi … "

There was a banquet at night, how was Xian An supposed to go about this? Mu Rong Chun was a little anxious. He felt it and looked at him, then at Xian An.

Mu Rong Yuan walked over and hugged Xian An's shoulders, and asked softly: "Are you afraid?"

"I …" Xian An cried.

"I'm very scared. I miss the Princess just like me." Lu Zi Nuo answered from the side, took a deep breath and looked at Mu Rong Chun: "Your Highness must be afraid too, but I want to ask Your Highness, if you feel afraid, what is the first thing you have to do?"

"Even if you're afraid, you still have to take the initiative."

"But if you don't know who your opponent is?"

"Luring the snake out of its hole, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

"Xian An, you can also do it. Furthermore, with the current form, perhaps only after leaving the Dacheng would it be safe. " Mu Rong Yuan said warmly but firmly.

"Really?" Xian An asked.

"Xian An, you have to verify whether or not it is real. Furthermore, in the future, no matter how afraid you are, you have to face it. Take out the courage of your unique princess and bravely advance. " Mu Rong Chun said.

Xian An unconsciously looked towards Lu Zi Nuo. Lu Zi Nuo bit his lips, and said: "If this plan doesn't work, then tonight's banquet will definitely not be peaceful either. Maybe, there are even more vicious methods. Therefore, this time, I will not use the concept of responsibility to force Your Highness. I just want Your Highness to think of Si Qi. I have heard that she has been by your side since he entered the palace. He has accompanied you for ten years, but now he has come to such an end. No matter whether or not tomorrow, and if His Highness wants to board He Yan's carriage, tonight, you should fight bravely for Si Qi. "

"I know, the dinner party is about to start. I should get my makeup done."

Lu Zi Nuo walked out followed by Mu Rong Yuan and Mu Rong Chun, and the people of the palace entered into their chambers.

Mu Rong Chun sent more Chieh-kun to stand in front of the hall with Mu Rong Yuan and the others to wait.

Lu Zi Nuo looked at the setting sun, while Mu Rong Yuan and Mu Rong Chun looked at this emotional youth.

The clouds and mist of the evening shone upon the Nine Layer Palace, making it exceptionally beautiful, but under this beauty?

After exiting Xian An's courtyard, Lu Zi Nuo was invited by the ritual internal service to bathe and change.

Mu Rong Yuan could not help but be worried, but at the same time, he allowed Lu Zi Nuo to follow the internal service. He turned his head to look at Mu Rong Chun, and revealed a doubtful expression at his back.

"Just who could be so crazy?" Mu Rong Yuan immediately diverted his attention.

"It should be because I'm in charge of this ceremony."

There was no need to elaborate further, if Xian An committed suicide to reject the marriage, he would be able to accomplish it.

At this time, Song Zhe came to report: "Just now, those two young palace maids said that it was from the great palace maid, Si Xian, of the Qingsi Hall. But when they went to the Qingsi Hall, they could not find Si Xian. That Si Xian was Si Qi's twin sister. "

Mu Rong Chun frowned, this chain of events was actually related to each other, there was no guarantee that there would be other tricks up his sleeve.

When Lu Zi Nuo entered Qi De Hall, unexpectedly, although he and Mu Rong Yuan were seated as subjects, while the other had to sit at a prince's table, the two of them were actually seated very close to each other.

Mu Rong Yuan was sitting in the prince's table. On the right side, near the great hall, was his father — — Crown Prince. On the right side, the family of the crown prince were his mother and his elder brother — — Mu Rong Chun. He looked at them one by one, trying his best to maintain the indifference he had shown to others over the years, in an attempt to smooth over the awkwardness of his identity. He saw that his father seemed to have something to say to him, but in the end he was torn between calling him "King Yong" and choosing to remain silent.

He remembered when he was young, he was chosen by the Royal Grandfather and adopted by Imperial Concubine Yuan. The days in the palace were like thin ice, there were both light and dark people who disliked him, and he was unable to guard against them. However, in the past few years, the thing that made him feel the most sad was still the fact that his relationship with his father was getting weaker and weaker. Mu Rong Yuan was so immersed in his own thoughts that he did not notice Lu Zi Nuo's gaze.

Although Lu Zi Nuo was fortunate enough to be invited to the palace banquet, he was still a commoner in the end. He looked at Mu Rong Yuan, but he didn't know where he had gone to.
