What are you doing!
With a sudden shout, the absent-minded Princess instantly regained consciousness. She fiercely pushed away the youth who was embracing her, and with a fierce expression, she shouted, "Scram!" My business is not up to you, a mere guard! Scram! Jin Mo staggered backward a few steps. "The youth lowered his head, his black hair covering his eyes. He respectfully knelt down on one knee, and with a cold voice, he said," "Understood.
He strode into the room with a tense expression on his face. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Jin Mo's collar from the ground. "You little rascal, have you eaten the guts of a bear leopard?" Hard as a knife to the chisel of the face to the boy, tightens the cloth of the blue veins in the arm malevolent, I'm asking you a question! Mute or deaf? Don't you know that she is this prince's woman? As a follower, he didn't understand the rules! The young man looked calm. He gently brushed away the demonstrated arms and walked forward with his legs. Looking at the lady behind Jeddah, he said, Princess, it's getting late, I'll help you change your clothes.
How dare you ignore me?! He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward, just as he was about to smash the back of the youth's head, Shang Yue screamed, Stop!
At this moment, the door to the house slammed open with a loud bang. Two rows of armored soldiers rushed in with spears and shields in hand, surrounding Jaddabu and Jin Mo. They were not allowed to move! The Steward Feng had ordered that no violence was allowed inside the Palace! As soon as the words were out of the way, a thin figure with his hands behind his back slowly walked out. Second Prince, Prince Jin, I have something important to report.
Steward Feng. Jeddab seemed dissatisfied, retracted his fist, and muttered, Was it my royal father who sent you to spy on me? He wouldn't be able to return to the palace today because a servant had died. Ridiculous! Steward Feng smiled. He crossed his hands and stood up straight. Of course he wasn't watching them. Because the deceased was the coachman of His Highness the Second Prince, His Majesty particularly urged this lowly servant to personally resolve the case as soon as possible so as to seek justice for the prince.
This humble servant came to report the new progress of the case. The man said in a low voice. If he could provide more clues, then the Prince and Princess would be able to return to the Palace very soon.
Jaddabu grabbed Shang Yue's waist and buried his face into the girl's loose shoulders. He took a deep breath and revealed a pair of cynical eyes. During those few days, he didn't even enter his room and stayed with Yue Er. He pinched Shang Yue's small chin, aimed at the girl's cherry lips and kissed, then turned his face and smiled at the group of people. They wanted to die. You know what I mean?
Jin Mo stood behind the two without saying a word. No one noticed that the youth's hands had become faintly white under his sleeves.
Jidabu held Shang Yue in his embrace, his large palm moving up and down. Shang Yue endured it and did not say anything, biting her lips as she stood there silently. Having seen everything, the Steward Feng raised his eyebrows and spoke warmly. This lowly one did not suspect the prince in the slightest. Turning the topic, she asked the young lady softly. Before the incident, did the Three Princess s see any strange people? Or had something strange happened?
No. She put on a charming and enchanting smile, and her hands were like slippery snakes that wrapped around the man's neck. She panted coquettishly, and just as the Second Prince had said, the two of us were deeply in love, and had not stepped out of the door even half a step.
Steward Feng, before the crime, this humble one had seen Consort Xiao by the window. A calm voice that wasn't big suddenly sounded out, as the Steward Feng squinted his long and narrow eagle eyes. Young Master Jin, can you be more specific?
Before that, I dare to offer a condition: Your Highness Princess Shang Yue, who has nothing to do with this case, provides the Superintendent with a clue as to how to resolve the case, and I hope that she can be released from her confinement as soon as possible." A tall, thin, and tall youth walked out from the shadows with a neither haughty nor humble expression on his face. He calmly placed Shang Yue behind him, and turned his head to look coldly at the tall and sturdy Jaddabu. Lowering his voice, he warned, "Second Prince, if you can't protect her, please don't push her into the fire pit as well.
If the Princess was related to this matter, Jin Mo would rather have his head cut off. After the youth said this, he flicked his sleeves and bowed to everyone.
Steward Feng raised his hand to stop Jidabu from going berserk again. His expression was full of praise for his loyal protector, which was worthy of praise. I promise you.
In order to quickly uncover the truth behind the murder case, Steward Feng used the 'Appraisal Talisman' that he had obtained from Master Xuanyang. This talisman was filled with unknown symbols, and its function was: Blood Chase Vicious, so the color of the talisman would change to differentiate between humans and Demonic Beast. If the Demonic Beast hurt people, the runes on the blood of the dead would fade to charred black. If their compatriots killed each other, the runes would not change color.
As for the driver who had his heart emptied, half of the blood that flowed out from his wound was charred black by the spell, while the other half didn't change at all.
The surrounding people could not understand at all. Could it be that there was a half-human half-demon hybrid in this world? What should he do? Steward Feng frowned, he stared at the corpse at his feet and started pacing back and forth. There was only one difference from the case with the 'Little Man' murder case. He rubbed his chin as he tried to remember. He had also emptied his heart, but this time, the driver's clothes and head were still on his body. In other words, he had to conceal his identity as the victim last time, but not this time. It was also possible that they were in a hurry and didn't have much time to deal with the scene.
A small soldier beside him interjected, "Sir, the other side …" Could it be that he had already stayed in the palace with the status of a young man? So he didn't need to hide the identity of the dead this time, and just dug out their hearts and ran away?
Steward Feng thought back to that day when he saw Little Man's tragic death with his own eyes. He felt pain in his heart and closed his eyes, pretending that the murderer was a female. Pass down my order: All females who were active in the Zuo Mansion on the day of the crime are not allowed to leave the manor! No one was allowed to leave, from the concubines and princesses to the maidservants. All of them were to be interrogated!
The Steward Feng interrogated and searched them day and night. After removing all the suspects, they left behind the last two females in their possession — — Third Princess Shang Yue and Emperor Xun's favorite concubine, Xiao Zhihe. Due to Xiao Zhihe's special identity, he had long ago followed Emperor Xun back to the palace and at this moment, the biggest suspicion fell on Third Princess Shang Yue.
Jin Mo listened to Steward Feng's analysis, and shook his head, it was definitely not Princess who killed them, she was not there. I am her personal servant, and even though she and Lord Jeddab were very happy, I have never left the scene. The guards outside the princess' chamber can attest to this fact.
That day, when I was pouring tea in my room, when I looked up, I saw Consort Xiao wearing a light pink dress, with her feet bare, appearing in the courtyard. Jin Mo frowned slightly … Was it possible that the Consort Xiao had soul power? I am a first class Soul Power User, so logically speaking, when ordinary people perform Qing Gong from a five meter radius, no matter how well I hide, they would be able to detect me immediately. But Consort Xiao … It was like suddenly landing in a courtyard. Jin Mo's expressionless face revealed a perplexed expression … Could it be that the Empress was concealing her strength? His soul power was above mine?
However, the Consort Xiao had always been an ordinary Palace Maid of the Inner Palace. Steward Feng stared into the youth's black eyes and pondered for a moment. Honestly speaking, in the case before the alliance, from the very beginning, this lowly subordinate had thought that the Consort Xiao was the most suspicious one. However, a lowly officer cannot rely on his own guesses to preempt the judgment of others. He politely smiled at Jin Mo. After what you said today, Consort Xiao is indeed a little strange.
Then, could he let Princess Shang Yue return to the palace?
The Steward Feng looked at him meaningfully and nodded his head. That was fine, but Young Master Jin, you —
It was time to wake up. Compared to Second Prince Jidabu, you are the one who cannot protect Princess Shang Yue the most.
"Crackle, crackle ~ ~ ~"
The sounds of firecrackers came from the horizon. It was the sound of children chasing and playing. The magical, colorful powder leapt up into the sky, bloomed in the fleeting golden light, and then lost its support as it gently fell … It disappeared in the wind.
