The palace. A palace that had been abandoned for three years.
At this moment, the palace emitted a faint light.
When Gong'e, who was walking on the road, inadvertently glanced at this scene, they couldn't help but shiver and run away.
The name of this palace was Fang Hua Palace, and its name was quite poetic. However, this palace was a cold palace! An abandoned cold palace.
This cold palace had been destroyed after Ye Li had ascended to the throne.
It was because this Fang Hua Palace was haunted!
Emperor Xian was a very influential person, and in the twelve years he had been reigning, he had taken in more than a hundred concubines.
Among them, other than the concubine who gave birth to the child, who survived, the other concubines had only two outcomes. Among them, most of the favoured concubines were given poisoned wine or three feet of white silk, to be buried for the late emperor. The other type was to enter the cold palace.
Logically speaking, it was better to be alive than dead.
However, three years ago, something happened in the Cold Palace.
Three years ago in the winter, a fire suddenly broke out in the Cold Palace. The seventy or so concubines that resided in the Cold Palace had all been burned to death by the great fire.
Ever since this incident, there had been rumors of ghosts in the Flowery Palace.
Many said they had once seen a certain concubine taking a walk outside the Fanghua Palace. There were also some who said that they had heard the faint sounds of zither music coming from Fang Hua Palace. Some people even said that they once heard laughter from within the Fanghua Palace.
In short, there were all sorts of rumors going around the Flowery Palace.
Some bold guards had gone to Fanghua Palace to investigate, and had finally been found hanging from the beams outside Fanghua Palace.
There were also guards who had a clandestine love affair with Gong'e in the Fanghua Palace.
The next day, they were found lying naked outside the Palace of Fanhua.
Strangely, however, their signs indicated that they had committed suicide and had not been killed.
No matter how many people Ye Li had sent to investigate, they could not find any clues.
As time passed, Ye Li couldn't be bothered to care about it anymore.
He just ordered everyone to stay away from the Flowery Palace.
At this moment, within the Flowerflower Palace, a light suddenly lit up inside the palace.
The mysterious woman stood in the abandoned room with a cold smile on her face, "I want to know everything about Qing Jue!"
She was the only one in the abandoned house, yet she could hear the voice of another person.
That person's voice was as cold and ruthless as ice and snow.
"From birth?"
"Yes, from the moment he was born, the details have been as detailed as they can get. Tell it all to me!"
"Alright."
Soon, the house was quiet again.
The mysterious woman sat on the beauty couch in the room, tapping the edge of the bed with one hand.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
The sound was extremely rhythmic.
After a long while, she suddenly stood up and walked to the window ledge. She picked up the white jade vase that was placed on the windowsill and smashed it onto the ground, her eyes filled with hatred. I will definitely kill you! "
She practically said each word through gritted teeth.
It could be seen that she hated Lin Zhaojun to the extreme!
Even Lin Zhaojun didn't know that he had an enemy that would fight him to the death!
The night was getting darker.
The woman stood motionless on the windowsill.
The cold wind blew directly, causing people to feel a chill down their spines. However, she did not seem to feel anything and continued to maintain the same posture as before, standing on the windowsill.
His gaze was fixed at the window, and it was unknown what he was looking at.
"I'm back." A clear voice rang out from within the room.
"How's the investigation going?"
At this time, a man dressed in crimson walked out from the shadows. He wore a mask, and the mask was covered with auspicious clouds.
Such a gloomy man wearing such a childish mask gave people a strange feeling.
"This is all I can know about the Green Wind art."
With that, the man handed the mysterious woman a small booklet.
Everything recorded in the booklet was information about 'Qing Jue', from the time he was born until the moment he was born.
The mysterious woman skimmed through it and nodded in approval, "Not bad, this information is quite complete."
"Of course." The man said proudly, "I stole this from the Dragon Lake Pavilion."
Dragon Lake Pavilion was the largest intelligence organization in the entire Huai Dynasty.
If a man had the ability to steal this pamphlet, it could be seen that his martial arts were extremely profound.
The mysterious woman flipped through the book and said with a cold smile, "I knew it. There is definitely a problem between them!"
Look at what's written on this booklet.
Qing Jue's feelings for Lin Zhaojun were not ordinary.
However, their relationship had become a bit strange recently. Furthermore, Qing Jue often went to the Spring Breeze Restaurant to get drunk.
A few days ago, Ye Li had mentioned Lin Zhaojun.
The reaction of Qing Jue was abnormal.
Earlier, she had deliberately brought up the 'Green Tooth' in front of Ye Li Yuan, and Lin Zhaojun. From Ye Li's reaction, it seemed that there was definitely something fishy going on between the 'Green Tooth' and Lin Zhaojun!
The mysterious woman sneered: "Dark night, keep an eye on Qing Jue. And, should we give him a little surprise or something? "
"A little surprise, a little surprise?"
The mysterious woman threw the booklet in her hand to the Dark Night, and said, "There are some things in there that are hard to forget. You should use these things to recall the memories of the Blue Wind."
Dark Night took the booklet and nodded, "Yes, I understand."
The Fang Hua Palace once again fell into a long silence.
However, a long time later.
A creepy laughter came from within the palace, and anyone who heard it couldn't help but shiver.
However, somewhere in the palace.
An old palace maid suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of bone-deep hatred flowing out from her murky pupils: "That … That laughter belongs to that bitch!"
The old palace maid had an ugly face, and her face was covered with wrinkles. No one wanted to take another look at her.
Although she was old, her hands and feet were nimble.
She quickly got out of bed, put on some clothes, and dashed out, running in the direction of the laughter.
Just as he reached the entrance of the palace, he was stopped by the guard, "What are you going to do?"
The old palace maid trembled as she stammered, "This old servant has been dreaming about my dead daughter. I'd like to go to Fanghua Palace and pay my respects to my daughter."
One of the guards frowned. "It's so late at night, aren't you afraid of scaring people? "Go back, hurry up and go back."
The other guard obviously knew who the old palace maid was, so he kindly consoled her, "That place at the Fanghua Palace is too evil, it's better that you don't go. Just a moment ago, I even heard a terrifying burst of laughter. "
The old palace maid pleaded a little, but the guards refused to let her go.
The old palace maid went back into the house, but she could not sleep. Her mind was full of the scene of the fire.
