"Ah Fu, how's the investigation going?"

Situ Wenbo sat in the seat of honor and looked down at the man shrouded in black clothing. "Pa!" He slammed the table and asked in a cold voice.

When the man in black heard this, his body trembled slightly, but he quickly recovered.

"Reporting to Sir, I was just about to report this matter." As per what Princess Yao said, I drew a portrait for the brothers to search for. After a night of investigation, the woman was not someone from capital. Furthermore, the brothers had discovered the clothes and face of the woman in the suburbs. Therefore, it will be more difficult to search, and I'm afraid it will take a few more days. "

Because of Situ Wenbo's awe-inspiring presence, the black-clothed man trembled as he reported the results of last night. After finishing his words in one breath, he stood in the lobby with his head down, not daring to even breathe.

Hearing this, Situ Wenbo knocked on the table, thinking about it day and night. It seemed that he would have to ask his little sister for help. He did not believe that there was someone that the Steel Cavalry could not find.

The night was seductive, but the chill was even stronger. It was as if a curse had been cast on the snow, filling the entire night. The night guards of the Imperial Palace hurried past every corner of the Imperial Palace to protect the people with the most noble Dongjun Kingdom.

"Brother, don't worry. I will dispatch the Armoured Cavalry right now and find the culprit to avenge Jie'er."

Within the Magnificent Brocade Palace, the fragrance lingered as coals burned with sizzling sounds. The heat was boundless and was in stark contrast to the snow that covered the sky outside.

Situ Lan sat on top of the fox skin that was spread by the Dongjun Kingdom Queen. After listening to Situ Wenbo's narration, a trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes. The warm voice comforted him as he looked at his brother standing in front of him with an old and depressed expression on his face.

You actually dare to heavily injure a member of the Situ Family. Do you really want to die?

"This old subject thanks the Empress for her kindness. The Situ Family will never forget it."

Seeing that his sister readily agreed, Situ Wenbo was overjoyed in his heart, and respectfully and sincerely bowed to Situ Lan. Although his sister had said that he could ignore the etiquette of a king and his subjects, the palace had many eyes and ears, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his sister.

"Brother, what are you doing? I have already said that there is no need for this between you and me. If anyone doesn't want to spread the word of my death and slander my reputation, then don't blame me for being ruthless. "

Situ Lan quickly helped Situ Wenbo up, and his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the court ladies in the room, and with a few cold words, he scared the palace maids and made them kneel on the ground, kneeling down and not daring to let out a single breath.

"Yes, everyone will listen to the empress."

Situ Wenbo's heart was filled with comfort as he looked at his little sister. Since young, his little sister had always wanted to be strong. She was proud and arrogant. Since the moment he entered the palace, he had always been the empress, and had never lost against the palace's overt struggles. He had to ensure that the Crown Prince would ascend to the throne in order to live up to his sister's painstaking efforts.

"Alright, it's already late today. Big brother should return to the manor to rest. If there's any news from me, I'll let you know immediately. "

Situ Lan rubbed his head. He had been busy preparing a birthday present for the Emperor, and he was a little tired.

Situ Wenbo could see her exhaustion. He comforted her with a few words and then left the Magnificent Brocade Palace.

After Situ Wenbo left, Situ Lan rested on the bed while being served by a palace maid.

After all the palace maids had left, she opened her eyes with a 'shua' sound, stood up and put on her cloak casually, then walked to the mural in her room. After drawing on the mural, with a 'hualala' sound, a secret passage appeared on the wall beside the mural.

"See master. This is the person you asked your subordinate to find a few days ago. "

Situ Lan stood in front of a black-clothed man. His expression was cold and in his hands was the information that the black-clothed man had gathered.

From the day that Jie Er was injured, even if her brother hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have let the descendants of the Situ Family suffer such humiliation. It was already the portrait of that woman that had been described by Yao'er. She then had the entire Iron Cavalry Regiment search the room thoroughly. Indeed, they did not disappoint her. The results would be sent out tonight.

Gripping the information in her hands tightly, her beautiful eyes were filled with viciousness. To think that it would be her … No wonder he had such great ability.

"Bone Devourer, give this letter to Queen Ye Shishuang personally. Tell her what she wants to do to get it over with. If the time is right, she might not be a match for that person. "

Situ Lan quickly wrote a few words on the table and passed it to the black clothed man. He thought about his sisters who were far behind him in Xi Liang, and hoped that she would be a bit more heartless and decisive. Only then would he be able to accomplish their great cause.

The man in black gave the order and disappeared. Situ Lan also walked out of the maze, and the wall instantly returned to its original state, leaving no traces behind.

It was also a dark and gloomy night. In the mountain forest behind the capital, the cold wind was like the roar of a tiger, penetrating the ears.

Inside the bamboo house, a weak candle light flickered as it stood facing the cold wind. The man wearing the eagle-shaped mask on his face released his aura and suppressed all the animals in the forest. They obediently stayed in their nests, not daring to move an inch.

"My lord, I wonder why they are looking for these women." And since they've noticed us, and are increasingly hostile to us, are they going to continue to disturb their line of sight? "

Leng Ming looked at the man brimming with hostility in the master's seat. He was noble and unfathomable.

"Alright, keep an eye on them. Tell me where they are at any time."

The man's lips were perfect as he coldly muttered. He looked at the portrait in his hand with a mocking smile, seeming to be deep in thought.

If one looked carefully, one would see a woman with plum blossoms on her forehead calmly standing in the middle of the painting. According to Leng Ming's intelligence, all the girls had been captured by them and brought to the Demon Palace on the Tai Yin Mountain.

Suddenly, he stared intently at the plum blossom on the girl's forehead and his gaze abruptly changed. He recalled the girl he met at Wu Ji's Blacksmith Shop. She had the same appearance back then. Was there a hidden secret between the two?

After extinguishing the candle, he immediately flew towards the capital. He wanted to investigate, to find out, if the woman was the person they were looking for, it was not easy to find someone he liked and found, he could not be captured by the witch church, and the days after that would be boring again.

Three days later, Bai Zhixi finally exited the study. His first thought was to quickly take a hot bath and stay in the study room for three consecutive days. Besides eating and reading every day, it was already filled with the stench.

He leisurely walked to the door of his room, only to discover that there was no one inside. Where had he run off to in the middle of the day?

He strolled among the Merlin, looking for the exit. She remembered that this was where the exit was when she first came here. Now, however, a red plum tree was swaying in the wind. It did not seem to have any traces of its presence.

It was noon, and when he woke up, he had not seen Jun Mohan come back.

Suddenly, Bai Zhixi's stomach let out a rumbling sound, it was not suitable for him to do so as he stirred up his stomach. Bai Zhixi's face was bitter, he could not be thinking of starving himself to death here, so he wanted to avenge beating him up a few days ago right?

Forget it, filling the stomach was more important right now. She did not believe that she would not be able to find any food in such a large courtyard.

When he found the fifth room, his efforts paid off. He finally found some food, but it was still raw. He had to make it himself.

However, this was not a problem for her. She had climbed and fought by herself for so many years, and if she could not even cook for such a small matter, then she would die of hunger.

Half an hour later, the fragrance of food wafted out from the Plum Blossom Forest, tempting one's appetite.

Bai Zhixi sat by the wooden table, looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, he revealed a satisfied smile. He laid on the table and waited for Jun Mohan to come back to eat. Firstly, she wanted to apologize to him and thank him for not telling anyone else about her secret. Secondly, he wanted to give her these books so that she would understand the affairs of the world.

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire night sky was shrouded in darkness. The surroundings were also pitch-black. A cold wind blew past, giving off a strange feeling. Bai Zhixi lit up all the candles in the house and all the lanterns in the yard one by one, then heated up the cold food once more.

He was cursing Jun Mohan in his heart and fell asleep while lying on the table.

When Jun Mohan entered the door, seeing such a scene, a peculiar feeling flashed through his heart. He gently closed the door, afraid that he would wake up the person who was sleeping soundly.

When she didn't want to close the door, she felt a cold wind enter through the crack of the door, flowing through Bai Zhixi's body. It was so cold that she quickly stood up, only to discover that Jun Mohan was staring straight at her, his face pale white. He kept looking up and down the room, but he didn't see any injuries at all!

In that instant, Jun Mohan took a step forward and tightly hugged her. He stood there quietly without saying a word, which made Bai Zhixi even more confused.

"You … "What's wrong?"

He could clearly feel that the man holding her was currently trembling. His original intentions of pushing her away had been dispelled. He could only allow himself to be held.

"Alright, hurry up and come to eat! Otherwise, I'm going to heat it up again. This is the first time I'm cooking for someone else, you're so lucky. "

In the end, she could not bear such silence, even though she was already accustomed to the fact that she was holding someone like herself, and no longer resented it. But now, she was really hungry. If she didn't eat anything, she could faint at any moment.

Pulling Jun Mohan along to sit on the chair, they prepared to add more tableware for him. Suddenly, the bright red blood on the bowl stung her eyes, she turned to look at Jun Mohan's pale white hair, which was drenched in sweat, and perspiration the size of beans flowing down her ears, and immediately looked at his back.

Unexpectedly, she was pulled back by Jun Mohan and fell into his embrace.

"Woman, remember what you said. In the future, you must cook for me alone."

Bai Zhixi, who was in Jun Mohan's embrace, suddenly heard this sentence and could not help but roll his eyes. It was not like he was in the maidservant.

After Jun Mohan finished saying that sentence, she spat out a mouthful of blood and gracefully fainted on Bai Zhixi's body.

With great effort, Bai Zhixi finally dragged Jun Mohan onto the bed, sweating profusely.

After inspecting for a long time, a black imprint finally appeared on his back, but this was still not the reason why he was unconscious. Deep within the imprint, a dart was firmly inserted into his back, watching his lips turn as black as ink and his body boil.

Now, he had to hurry and take out the dart, so that he could dissipate the heat from his body. He would not allow the poison to enter his dirty spleen. Only then would he be able to be saved.
