Chapter 372
Before Fu Mingyi arrived, Lan Yu had to try her best to preserve her body.So, she immediately arranged for her personal maid to prepare blood for herself.

Not long after, the court lady brought several barrels of fresh blood up.

For this matter, the palace lady has long been numb in her heart, so she always acts expressionless.Even the bloody smell that was almost soaring to the sky didn't make her frown.

After all, Lan Yu was satisfied, her tone had already softened a lot compared to when she faced Tong Ange before.She talked and dragged her heavy arm like dead wood, raised it slightly, and the maid had already stepped back.

After leaving the water pavilion, he ordered several eunuchs.

"You guys, get rid of all these corpses, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

It was already the second watch, and the entire Beiyuan was almost shrouded in moonlight.However, the moon is cloudy and sunny, Beiyuan is cold, and since there is no one holding a lamp, once the moonlight is hidden in the dense clouds, the whole Beiyuan can hardly be seen, only the bare branches that are slightly swaying in the wind as if playing a prank .

Qing Li seems to have gotten used to the ghostly presence in Beiyuan. After a few days, she is almost familiar with Beiyuan's roads.But at this moment, under such moonlight, she couldn't help but think of the dead man's cave that made her whole body cold.For the past few days, she had almost closed her eyes, only to see the mummified corpses of white bones and remaining blood.

As if in a dream, those dead court ladies and eunuchs stretched out their bare arms from time to time, slowly approaching her, while complaining sinisterly, "Help...help me..."

As a result, Qing Li was really worried about being disturbed by nightmares.So she stood up straight away and walked out the door.

Because of the incident with Concubine Zhao earlier, Qing Li was much more cautious during this trip.She followed her memory to find the dog hole that day, and went straight through.

The next route is very simple. After the dog hole, there is a large pile of weeds, and there is an arch bridge beside it.The dead man's cave that I saw that day happened to be right in front of the dog cave, and right in front of the arch bridge.

Qing Li approached the dead man's cave, looking around cautiously.When she was about to reach the cave of the dead, she took out a white jade porcelain bottle from her bosom.Inside the white jade porcelain bottle was the medicinal powder that she had prepared in advance. If she wanted to find out what happened in this dead man's cave, she would have to use these medicinal powders.

However, now that she has reached the dead man's cave, she can't bear it.Struggling in her heart, she half-opened her eyes, trying not to look at those horrific corpses, and then sprinkled all the medicinal powder on the corpses.

After everything was over, she decided to wait and see what happened.The plan was flawless, but suddenly she heard a rustling sound from the weed pile behind her.

Qing Li was very puzzled, and turned her head immediately, but she didn't know that a pale face appeared behind her.

Her heart skipped a beat, she almost fell to the ground, her hand landed on a white bone, she bit her lip, and immediately pulled her hand back, but there was a layer of pain behind her. Thin cold sweat.After seeing the person coming, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her tone was somewhat puzzled and reproached, "Princess? Why are you here so late?"

Wen Yu immediately frowned, "Why is sister here so late?"

Qing Li was momentarily at a loss for words, and really couldn't think of any good excuses to prevaricate her.However, before she could speak, Wen Yu put his arms around his chest and pouted, "Hmph, sister didn't even know to take me with her when she came out to play. My sister is too bad!"

Qing Li had no choice but to go forward to coax her a few words, "Princess, sister knows she's wrong, if she sneaks out to play next time, she will definitely take you with her."

"My sister is lying! If my sister would take me, she would take me today." Wen Yu's mouth was still raised, as if she had been deceived.

Qing Li was helpless, if she was noticed by Wen Yu in Beiyuan, she could still say that she couldn't sleep at night and just came out to walk around.But now in this dead man's cave, all her explanations are basically not easy to fool.

She didn't explain any more, and could only half coax and say, "I will definitely bring you next time."

Wen Yu just felt relieved and nodded abruptly like a rattle.

Halfway through the conversation between the two, there was a sound behind the arch bridge.Startled, Qing Li covered Wen Yu's mouth and suppressed her figure.Wen Yu carefully held Qing Li's hand, looking at the figures behind the arch bridge for a while, and then at Qing Li who was not taking his eyes off.

Qing Li didn't notice Wen Yu's actions, her eyes stayed behind the arch bridge.

There is no head eunuch today, so I don't know where the head eunuch has gone.It was just a few dumb eunuchs dragging corpses one after another.Among them, the person standing at the front held the lamp, while the people behind dragged all the corpses to the dead man's cave expressionlessly.

Under the darkness of night, among the candlelight, the expressions of these people were somewhat bleak, but when viewed from a distance, they were still not very real.

This time Qing Li was determined to investigate the matter of the dead man's cave, so she had already sprinkled some medicinal powder on it beforehand.After several people finished disposing of the corpse, she raised her head slightly.

This kind of medicinal powder was extremely easy to stain on the clothes. After seeing a few eunuchs acting up, she got up and planned to send Wen Yu back.

"Princess, I'll take you back." Qing Li said, then got up and brushed the dust off her clothes.

Wen Yu grabbed Qing Li's hand, as if she didn't really want to leave, "Sister, I don't want to go back."

After hearing Wen Yu's words, Qing Li always felt that something was wrong.But exactly what was wrong, she really couldn't tell.What happened tonight was a bit strange, the nightmare she had in surprise, and Wen Yu who came here in the second watch.All the things connected together made her feel inappropriate, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's very late now, the princess should go back to rest as soon as possible, otherwise if the concubine finds out, the princess will really have a hard time explaining it."

Wen Yu nodded and followed Qing Li back from the dog cave.

Qing Li originally thought that Wen Yu agreed to send her back, but she didn't know that when she reached the dog hole, she said, "I don't want to go back, sister, are you planning to send Wen Yu back and run away by yourself?" Going out to play?" She felt a little wronged, her eyes were dark, she looked at Qingli like a deer, she felt a little helpless in the night, and also a little resentful as if she had been abandoned.

This kind of situation had never happened before, and Qing Li felt that although Wen Yu knew a lot of things, she was a well-behaved child after taking care of her in Beiyuan these few days.He didn't know what was going on tonight, but he followed her to the dead man's cave, and he didn't want to go back no matter what.

However, Qing Li had no choice but to comfort her.

"The princess thinks too much, I don't mean to sneak out to play." She could only blink innocently, "If I want to go out to play, I will definitely bring the princess with me. But the princess can't run around after all, the guards here are so strict, If someone finds out, the concubine will also be implicated."

"I don't care! I'm going with you! Sister, no matter where you go, you have to take me with you..." Wen Yu actually began to act coquettishly with Qing Li's arms.

"My sister really wants to sneak out to play..."

Wen Yu seemed to become more refined suddenly, and his little face, which was almost ignorant of the world, was full of disbelief.But Qing Li was so entangled by her that he had a headache, and didn't know what was going on, so he frowned and asked, "Okay, tell me where you want to go?"

"Where my sister goes, Wen Yu will go!"

This is a determined decision to follow Qing Li.

But Qingli knew very well in her heart that she definitely couldn't take Wen Yu with her wherever she was going.Zhou Guo's imperial palace is so weird this week, and the truth about the Dead Man's Cave has not yet been found out, so rashly taking Wen Yu and leaving Beiyuan like this is bound to cause some troubles.

Wen Yu was still soft and tough, shaking Qing Li's arm even harder.

"Do you know where I'm going?" Qing Li's expression became even more complicated.Wen Yu's actions today are really weird. Could it be that Concubine Zhao is behind it?But if Concubine Zhao ordered it, she would definitely not be able to ask Wen Yu to follow her.

Wen Yu shook her head, looking at her innocently and aggrievedly, "I don't know where my sister is going, but I know that my sister wants to sneak out of Beiyuan. My mother said that if I am not allowed to leave Beiyuan, I will I don't want to make my mother worry. But...but I must go out today!"

The more Qing Li listened to it, the more inexplicable she became, and she blurted out subconsciously, "Why?"

"If I accompany my sister to the place my sister wants to go, then my sister can take me to the emperor's brother!"

"Looking for the emperor? Messing around." Hearing this, Qing Li almost couldn't laugh or cry.With her status, how could she find Little Zhou Emperor?What's more, Little Zhou Emperor knew without thinking that the security should be tight. Once someone found out, her identity from Beiyuan would be even more sinful.

"Sister, won't you take me to the emperor's brother?" Wen Yu said, already crying a little bit.She seemed to be very wronged, "It turns out that the emperor's brother will always come to me, but last time I made an appointment with him clearly. Sister, I'm going to find the emperor's brother! I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss the emperor's brother." It's..."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Qing Li was a little more flustered for no reason.But she didn't know how to comfort her, she was investigating the matter of the dead man's cave, if the matter of the dead man's cave had nothing to do with the little Zhou emperor, then she had to take Wen Yu to find the little Zhou emperor before the third watch.Not to mention that she is not particularly familiar with the route of the Zhou Kingdom's palace, even if she is, it would always be a bit inconvenient to take Wen Yu with her.

But since she couldn't take her there, she naturally didn't know how to comfort her.

The two were deadlocked at the dog's hole, Qing Li had no choice but to coax Wen Yu.But thinking of the relationship between her and the little Emperor Zhou, she really couldn't figure it out, "Princess, you lived in Beiyuan before, how could you see the emperor?"

"It's true! Sister, I didn't lie to you. It turns out that the emperor's brother often sneaks out to look for me at night, but now... I haven't seen him for a long time. The emperor's brother is very good to me, and I am very happy. Worry about him, sister, I want to see him, can you take me there..."

"Could it be you... read it wrong?" Qing Li asked a little difficultly, after all, even she herself felt that this reason was far-fetched.

But this is Beiyuan, and the Little Zhou Emperor is still young, how could he bring people here?It's even more impossible to come alone...

Qingli Liu frowned.

"No! I grew up with the emperor's brother. Even if I misidentified someone else, I would never admit to the emperor's brother!" Wen Yu raised her small face, her eyes were extremely firm.Perhaps it was because Qingli had just cried, and now Qingli diverted her attention, her eyes sparkled, as if she was thinking of the beautiful past.
