"But …" If we don't even believe in our eyes anymore, then what else in this world is worth believing in? "
Li Ran asked.
Qian Li looked at her, and only answered after a long while. "I believe in my own heart, and it's enough as long as I don't forget my original intention, as long as I don't forget the reason why I had to do this in the beginning."
"The lady is right."
"Can you take me to see the people from Prime Minister Mansion now?"
"Of course." With that said, Li Mo turned and led the way, and Qian Li quickly followed.
The cemetery was not far away, and there were only two graves. It looked very lonely.
Qian Li looked at them in puzzlement, "Not only the entire Prime Minister Mansion, even without the Prime Minister couple, there should still be a hundred and sixty-two corpses."
After all, we are not familiar with the people in Prime Minister Mansion, and we have not seen many of them before. There is no way to match the corpses with their heads, so we were worried that we made a mistake.
Hearing that, Qian Li almost cried, but she swallowed the pain due to her personality.
"Then …" His voice was choked with sobs. After a long while, he could only say one word.
But luckily, they could understand.
"I have seen the young master of the Prime Minister Mansion before, so I buried him alone."
Hearing this, Qian Li's tears almost fell.
It was no wonder that every time he dreamt, he dreamt of a family member being brainless.
So it was because they couldn't even find their bodies?
"Thank you."
"For the ladies to be here to offer incense, we should actually say thanks. Now that the Prime Minister Mansion has been found guilty of all these unwarranted crimes, everyone can't avoid it. It's a good thing that there are still people who are concerned about them. We are truly grateful."
Qian Li was no longer able to speak. She knelt on the spot, unwilling to get up even after a long time.
It was only when the sun was about to set that she finally managed to regain her composure.
"Miss …"
Before Li Ran could finish, she was interrupted by Qian Li with a raise of her hand. She had been kneeling for too long, and her steps were extremely shaky, it was difficult for her to even stand up, but she rejected Li Ran's support.
"I know what you guys want to say, but …" I do not plan to tell you where Murong Yan's corpse is currently located. "
"Miss, we should always let the esteemed empress rest in peace …"
Qian Li nodded, "I've never thought about it before, but that place is filled with organs. "The guards are all top class experts. It's impossible for us to take out the corpses."
"Even if we can't, we still have to give it a try. Even if we die, we won't refuse."
Qian Li looked at them. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but …
She was truly afraid of losing anyone.
"I know you guys aren't afraid of death, but am I afraid? But have you thought about it, now that there's no one left in the Murong Family, and the heavy burden of clearing away the charges fell on us few of us? If we die because of a single corpse, wouldn't we have to let those crimes go through countless generations of Murong Family? "
"But …"
"I can understand your feelings, but I will still say this. If it wasn't for the most appropriate time, I definitely wouldn't have told you where Murong Yan is right now."
"We understand lady's words, but if we can't even protect her corpse after the Empress's death, we …" Our conscience is not at ease. "
"I... Although I don't know how that person moved Murong Yan's corpse, nor do I know what method he used, I do know that with our current abilities, we wouldn't have been able to do it. Murong Yan's blood had already been sucked dry, her body would not rot … "So …"
"Absorb it dry."
Just like Qian Li himself, this kind of news was not something that Li Mo and Hedonist Sovereign could accept.
That person who died of thirst told me that Murong Yan had loved to be beautiful all her life. If not for that, her corpse would have been eaten by the maggots, and rotted away little by little. Finally, it would slowly stink to death. I have to admit that he might be right. "
"This …"
"It's getting late. I have to leave. "
"It's too late today. Lady, please leave tomorrow."
"I can only sneak out because of the joyous occasion today. In the end, I have to work under them, so I can't come out for too long."
The two of them nodded. "Then we'll send the girl back."
"You should pretend that you do not want to be exposed. Without news from me, it is best if you do not act rashly. We already have no one left, and we cannot afford even the slightest loss." You should pretend that you do not want to be exposed.
Although these words did not sound good, the two siblings knew that Qian Li was speaking the truth.
Thus, both of them nodded in agreement.
"Then how do we contact them?"
"I have something very important to find you guys. If you guys have something very important to do, you can go to that rundown temple on the outskirts and leave a letter for me. Put it in the second empty seat on the beam, there is a secret compartment."
"Then …"
"The teahouse should be opened, but if the emperor's people are following us closely, I suggest that you find someone to make you a human skin mask for now. As for Li Ran, if my guess is not wrong, the emperor definitely has not seen you before, you should do this for now."
Li Ran nodded, but she frowned slightly.
"Three Mile County has an ancient temple, and an old monk lives in the temple. The human skin mask he makes is very lifelike, ordinary people would not be able to recognize it if they wore it, but his personality is strange, other than people he has identified, masks are not for sale."
"Then …"
"You guys can take my keepsake. He had promised me before, maybe he will remember."
Li Mo nodded, then continued, "If possible, I suggest that all of you switch your weapons, since your martial arts are powerful enough, when facing ordinary people, you can eliminate your enemies without exposing yourselves, right?"
After the two of them nodded, Qian Li thought for a while, then realized that there was nothing left to say.
Then, he decided to turn around and leave, "I will think of a way to find Murong Yan's corpse. As for … As for the Prime Minister's wife, I will think of a way to find out, and if there's any news, I will inform you immediately. "
"Alright."
"Then... I'll be leaving first. You all must be careful. Remember, don't be rash. "
The two nodded, and Qian Li said again, "Okay. I don't have anything to say for now. In the end, no matter if you accept it or not, I have to thank you all on behalf of these people from Prime Minister Mansion. "
"This is what we should do, why would Miss …"
Without waiting for them to finish speaking, Qian Li opened her mouth once again, "I've already said that this is something I want to do myself, whether I accept it or not is up to you guys."
This time, Qian Li did not give them a chance to speak. After a few rises and falls, she disappeared from where she stood.
They looked at each other, frowning.
"Why do I feel like … She seems to be hiding something from us. " Li Mo said.
Hedong looked at Qian Li's body that had already blended into the darkness. "No way, I think she's really thinking for us."
"That's not it. I believe everything she said and the emotions she revealed, but I still feel that something is wrong."
"Hmm?"
"Li Ran, don't you feel that her way of doing things, and her speech, are all similar to someone else's?"
Li Ran frowned, then replied, "Brother is right, Empress?"
Li Mo nodded, "Yes."
"The longer the two of us are together, the more similar things would naturally be for us. Furthermore, we have too much thought about the Empress, so it isn't strange for everyone to be like her."
Li Mo frowned slightly, and asked back in puzzlement, "Is that so?"
"Otherwise, how would brother explain himself in such a situation?"
Li Ran's rhetorical question completely shut Li Mo's mouth. He nodded, "Perhaps you're right, we really miss the Empress too much."
Li Ran nodded, "Isn't that the only way to explain it?"
