Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Li Qingmo said: "You practice it again, I will watch."

"Yes."

After the two clasped their fists at the same time, they started dancing with their swords again.

They were reminiscing while imitating the swordsmanship of those killers, so sometimes they looked inconsistent, somewhat dissimilar, and strangely familiar.

Soon, peony and lotus came to an end.

"Master, slaves can only remember so much."

They were really useless and could hardly help.

Li Qingmo rarely praised them: "Well done, you all take turns guarding Xia Rui's room. No one is allowed to enter without my order. Remember, it's anyone."

The two of them were a little surprised, but they didn't ask any more questions.

After replying 'yes', he put away his sword and turned around to go to Xia Rui's room.

Later in the night, the fourth watch.

Lan Jue is here.

"Shaoyao? Why are you here?" Lan Jue didn't expect there would be anyone at the door.

Shaoyao was still thinking about the sword technique. When she saw Lan Jue, she put away her sword and said, "My master ordered me and Sister Hanlian to guard here and no one is allowed to enter."

Lan Jue glanced in the direction of the door, puzzled.

"Didn't the mistress leave with Xia Rui? What are you still doing here?"

Shaoyao shook his head: "I don't know, but there is definitely no one inside."

With their skills, it is easy to detect whether there is a breath of living people in the room.

Lan Jue nodded: "Then I'll go back first."

His room is not far from here, and Peony can even hear the footsteps after entering the yard.

She started to dance the sword again, always feeling that as long as she learned the sword skills coherently, she would make discoveries.

At nine o'clock, the sky was slightly bright, and Hanlian came to pick up Shaoyao's class. He watched her fall to the ground from a distance, with a red mark on her neck, and the blood had stained the ground around her.

"Peony!"

Han Lian stepped forward and held Shaoyao's wrist with trembling hands.

No pulse at all.

"Peony!"

Hanlian cried.

She and Shaoyao entered the family at the same time when they were young, grew up together, were like sisters, and were the closest relatives.

Lan Jue heard the sound and ran over, but was also startled when he saw it.

"what happened?"

Lan Jue hurriedly stepped forward and just wiped off a bloody word on the ground with his foot, but no one paid attention.

He lifted Shaoyao up, first felt her breath, and then held her pulse, as if he couldn't believe that Shaoyao was dead like this.

"What's going on? When I returned to the room an hour ago, I saw that Peony was fine." Lan Jue's eyes were also red.

They have been with me since they were young, and they are better than brothers and sisters.

Hanlian burst into tears, "I came over to take over and saw Shaoyao falling to the ground. I don't know what happened."

Li Qingmo quickly got the news and came over.

Looking at Shaoyao's body, his eyes grew colder.

Killing people in his regent's palace, regardless of the purpose, completely angered him.

"Sir, my subordinates have checked. Shaoyao was killed with a sword, and the murder weapon was Shaoyao's own sword." Lan Jue rarely showed his emotions, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. He wished he could catch the murderer now and avenge Shaoyao.

Wen Ying and Hanlian re-examined Shaoyao.

"Her hands..."

Wen Ying found that one of Shaoyao's fingers was stained with a lot of soil.

Hanlian also saw it.

"Peony may have left some clues for us!"

Everyone returned to the door of Xia Rui's room.

But all I saw was a blood-red 'cross'.

"Ten?" Han Li was puzzled: "What is Shaoyao trying to tell us?" Wen Ying asked: "Is there anyone in the palace whose name has ten? Or is your number ten?"

Li Qingmo immediately asked people to find everyone related to 'Ten'.

There were three people in total.

But all three people have alibis.

Because they happened to be on duty last night, there were always people around them and they were never left alone.

Li Beimu said: "Is it possible that the 'ten' is not a person's name at all, but a place name or a code name or something like that?"

Everyone was thinking about it, and they didn't understand what the 'ten' meant.

Peony just died.

When Nan Xi came out of the space and found out about this, he almost thought that the operation took too long and he was hallucinating from exhaustion.

"Who do you think is dead?"

Hanlian's eyes were red, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "Master, Shaoyao is dead."

Nan Xi followed her to Shaoyao's room. Her body was lying flat on the bed, still wearing the bloody clothes when she died.

Wen Ying stood behind Nan Xi: "We were afraid of missing any clues, so we didn't dare to clean up the peony. You can check it again. If you find nothing, you can let the peony be buried first."

Nan Xi caressed Shaoyao's face.

Ice cold.

Already hard.

Her mind was filled with the usual sound of peony chirping in her ears.

Never hear it again.

"Shaoyao always smiles at everyone. He is very popular and never makes enemies with anyone. How could he be killed by someone?"

This is what Nan Xi is most puzzled about.

She checked Shaoyao's body and found nothing, so she and Hanlian helped Shaoyao clean up and put on new clothes.

The tears in Nan Xi's eyes never stopped.

She turned to look at Li Qingmo, "Let Shaoyao be buried a few days later. At least let Xia Rui see her for the last time."

The two people had just sparked a small flame of love, and before they had time to express their feelings for each other, they were separated by yin and yang.

Li Qingmo nodded: "Okay."

He reached out and brushed the tears from the corners of Nan Xi's eyes and said, "I will definitely find the murderer of Shaoyao."

Nan Xi thought about it carefully: "Why do you have to kill Shaoyao? It is too risky to kill someone in the Regent's Palace, and the possibility of being discovered is too high, unless this person is not afraid of being discovered at all, or in other words, he has a reason to kill Shaoyao. .”

Lan Jue said: "My subordinates have asked all the people on duty last night and found nothing."

"There are two possibilities. One is that the person is an absolute master and can come and go freely in the Regent's Palace without being discovered. The other is that the murderer is in the Palace."

After Wen Ying finished his analysis, he looked at Li Qingmo and said, "I can swear that I didn't do it."

According to Li Qingmo's previous suspicion of her, she was indeed a suspect.

But Wen Ying has no reason to kill Shaoyao in the future.

"Where is the word 'ten' you mentioned?" Nan Xi asked.

Li Qingmo took her to the door of Xia Rui's room.

The writing on the ground is still there.

Nan Xi looked at it from several different angles, then pointed to one of them and asked, "Does this footprint here look like part of the writing has been erased?"

A word to wake up everyone.

Li Qingmo and the others also bowed their heads and took a closer look.

"indeed."

"If this is the case, then what Shaoyao wants to tell us is not the word 'ten' at all."

"What could that be?"

This is another difficult question.

There are many characters that can be evolved from the character "十", but there is no way to verify them.

"What were you doing before Shaoyao's accident?" Nan Xi asked.
