Rebirth of Fengmou

Chapter 192.Dead bodies outside the palace walls

Seeing Du Lanyan's serious face, Chu Zhao looked around and saw that no one was around and flew down with her arms around her waist, so he let go of his hands and strode away.

Du Lanyan stood there, thought for a while, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction of Chu Zhao.

Firstly, Wei Jiayu had the slightest suspicion because he didn't want to appear together, and secondly, he took this opportunity to walk around and inquire about Dezu's news by the way.

She walked along the path, fearing that she would run into someone from Fengqi Palace, so when she reached a fork in the road, she chose a more remote path.

The reason why Empress An let her live in Fengqi Palace was because she was afraid that she would reveal their secrets, so she used this method to cut off the connection between her and Xia Xiang. Therefore, she could only stay in Fengqi Palace, even if she wanted to go out, There must be a legitimate and reasonable reason, like going back to Fangfei Pavilion to pick up clothes today, even if this is the case, he also sent a silver bead to follow closely behind.

But it's different now, she was pulled out by Wei Jiayu to find someone for a legitimate reason, and now there is no one following her, this kind of opportunity is rare, so naturally we should make good use of it.

Du Lanyan's path became more and more deviated, and at the end, she couldn't see a single palace attendant. She stopped, looked at the untended weeds around her, and felt that her behavior of avoiding the palace attendants was too much, so she laughed at herself , It is to lug the road back to a place with more people.

"Help……"

She only walked a few steps, and she heard a faint cry for help. She looked around, but found nothing unusual. She listened carefully, except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing the treetops, there was nothing else.

Here is close to a palace wall. Although there are weeds growing on the outside, the palace wall is painted with vermilion paint, which reflects sparkling light under the sunlight. The owner of this palace should have a very high status in the palace, otherwise Not even a fence was painted with red paint so meticulously, and it was applied so evenly.

As for the weeds outside, it should be that the palace is too big, and the place is remote, so the cleaning palace staff were negligent for a while.

After scanning the surroundings, she still found nothing unusual, so Du Lanyan walked back home.

However, she staggered and almost fell into the mud. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and staggered a few steps to hold onto the palace wall in time.

Patting her chest to calm her shock, she looked at the "perpetrator" who almost tripped her just now. As soon as her eyes met, she immediately opened her eyes in shock. Startled" to describe.

I thought it would be a raised rock or something, but I never thought it would be a person, a thigh to be precise.

On one side was the grass at half a person's height. The upper body of the owner of the leg was submerged in the grass, and one leg of the lower body was lying in front of her. The other leg, Du Lanyan looked over, and immediately took two steps back in fright. Her other leg, from The heels of the legs were all cut off, and there were crimson blood stains under his body. I don't know how long this person has been lying here, and the places with a lot of blood stains have dried into lumps.

Du Lanyan subconsciously looked left and right, saw no one around, wanted to go up to check, and worried that this was a trap set by Han Ruxue, although it was accidental that she came here, Han Ruxue was pervasive. She also came to the Begonia Grove in the garden by accident. At that time, she could seize the opportunity and immediately set up a trap, let alone now?
Curiosity will kill, Du Lanyan said silently, then turned around and left without looking back.

Along the road, I walked back to a place that was a little bit crowded.

"Princess Rui is auspicious." Along the way, palace people who knew her greeted her well, but she just waved her hands casually, with an absent-minded look, but she stopped abruptly after walking for a long time, then turned around, and hurriedly said goodbye The road turns back.

After walking for so long, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. If it was Han Ruxue's trap, as soon as she appeared there, a lot of guards would come out and point at her with sharp knives, calling her the murderer!

But the truth is, she stayed there for a while, but didn't find anything unusual, and when she came out, she didn't see any guards, so, she thought, that person wasn't Han Ruxue's design to be there at all.

Thinking of this, curiosity started to haunt me again. Although lynching and secret killings often happen in the palace, if you can get someone else's handle, then you can use it to coerce others to do things for you, and there are many people in the palace. a backer.

The palace lady was lying outside that palace wall. It is possible that her injury was caused by the master inside the palace wall. According to her guess, the master there was of high status, and there was a high-status person as a backer. Safety is also guaranteed.

Thinking this way, she came to the place just now, the corpse was still lying there, she approached and squatted down, a foul smell came in, she immediately covered her mouth and nose, and looked around, but it was the dead body The root of the severed thigh was rotten and maggots were growing on it.

Du Lanyan held back her nausea and pulled away the weeds covering her upper body. The first thing she saw was a pair of wide-open eyes, which were round and full of fear and hatred, so that it looked a little scary .

Du Lanyan froze for a moment, and subconsciously moved her eyes away. It was the same when Chun'er died. At that time, Du Lanyan didn't feel scared because the hatred in Chun'er's eyes was not as strong. The eyes of this person seemed to be the result of being killed. Hatred supported him so he couldn't close it, and the degree of unwillingness to die was much higher than Chun'er.

So Du Lanyan didn't dare to look at her for a long time, but shifted her gaze to other places.

Her upper body was lying on her side, her eyes were fixed on the palace wall in front of her, and one hand was stretched out, pointing to the side of the palace wall. She was wearing a pink palace attire. As long as you know it's a palace maid, the life of a servant in this palace is the most worthless!
Even though she was afraid of her eyes, Du Lanyan still looked at her face. She was fair-skinned and pretty. If it wasn't for the horrible death, she would be a lovely girl.

Du Lanyan looked at the red palace wall in the direction she pointed, and was full of interest in the people living inside. Suddenly, she seemed to remember the "help" she heard just now when she was here, so she stretched out her hand to find the corpse In his neck, the pulse stopped beating, but the skin was still warm, presumably he had just died.

Although her guess and the posture of the maid at the time of her death pointed the finger of the murderer at the people inside the palace wall, there was no definite evidence and nothing could be proved.

So, she reached out and groped around her waist to see if she could find something that could prove her identity.

The hand moved from the right waist to the left waist, but stopped when it reached the abdomen, because the maid's hand was placed there, hindering her hand from moving forward.
