Chapter 57: Princess Mural
The dead air pervading the entire palace that I saw last time has disappeared, and the vision is clear, but there is still a damp and moldy smell in the air, which is very unpleasant.

Wu Yue walked forward along the road last time, and soon came to the main hall where the black-clothed guards gathered last time.

The main hall is empty, and the pool in the middle is also dry.

In the huge room, there was nothing, and it was extremely silent.

Everything seemed to be exactly as Murong Xuan said, that ghost cultivator left, taking everything related to him away without leaving any traces.

Wu Yue turned around in the hall, but found nothing unusual, and then turned to other rooms.

Wuyue walked through one room after another, one empty room after another, basically nothing, no trace of any living beings.Until, she walked into the room that Lu Li mentioned last time - a room full of her portraits.

This room was the same as the room she had entered before, without any decorations, but on the four walls, there were all murals about her.

About half of them were with her alone, and the other half were with her and Xie Rong.

Each mural is carved with great care, with beautiful composition, smooth and clear lines, and every frown and smile of the characters is lifelike.

Wu Yue looked at the past one by one, and each picture could remind her specifically of a certain year, a certain day, a certain time, a certain place, something that was happening, and what kind of situation she was at that time. Feeling.

It seems that for Murong Xuan, the time they spent together in the palace was almost the whole of her life.

"Why did Rong'er carve so many paintings here..."

Wu Yue's heart suddenly paused, and for a while, it seemed that an invisible hand suddenly strangled her neck, making her a little breathless for a moment.

No, these paintings were not drawn by Xie Rong.

Especially the pictures of her and Xie Rong playing together are obviously drawn from the perspective of a third person.

There was a third person who saw the two of them playing together, and he remembered that scene in his heart and drew it.

That person can't be someone else...it must be Xie Yi.

Xie Yi has been here?

when?
Was it after she ascended to the throne and after he supported Yongning to succeed to the throne?
But at that time, he had all the power in the government and wanted to build the princess temple. He wanted to carve the portraits of her and Xie Rong. Why couldn't he do it, but he wanted to do it in the underground palace of the National Teacher's Mansion?
Moreover, at that time, he lived directly in Zhaoyang Palace under the name of "Emperor Teacher".

So, why did these paintings appear in the National Teacher's Mansion?

Could it be that Murong Xuan moved here from elsewhere?
However, the last time she and Lu Li entered by mistake, the owner of the National Teacher's Mansion was still Murong Min.Last time, these paintings were already here.

By the way, there are black guards.

The black-clothed guards were obviously trained by Murong Xuan. Since Murong Min wanted to pass the position to Murong Xia, why did he let Murong Xuan train the black-clothed guards in the National Teacher's Mansion?
The relationship between the mother and daughter is really a mystery.

Wu Yue returned from the underground palace without success, and on the second day, disguised herself again and sneaked into the Murong Mansion, inquiring about their mother and daughter from the attendants.

It is said that Murong Xia was adopted by Murong Min when she was a child.As for Murong Xuan, she only came to the National Teacher's Mansion two years ago.

Murong Min was very kind to Murong Xia, and after Murong Xuan came, she was also very kind to Murong Xuan, there was no difference between closeness and closeness.

Murong Xia was somewhat resistant to Murong Xuan, and Murong Xuan, although she called Murong Xia "Elder Sister" on her lips, she didn't really like her very much.After all, no matter how you look at it, Murong Xuan is much better than Murong Xia.

But despite this, the sisters rarely argue.

A steward said that he felt that Murong Xia hated Murong Xuan to three points, and respected Murong Xuan to seven points.

Murong Min is usually in the National Teacher's Mansion, and there are two young ladies living in the Murong Mansion, so on weekdays in the mansion, which lady's words shall prevail, and which lady's affairs shall be given priority, is the person in the mansion. The most frequently discussed matter between stewards and squires.

The people in Murong's mansion are also not clear about what happened before Murong Xuan came to the National Teacher's mansion.I only know that she seems to have been practicing with a master outside the world, so when she first came to the National Teacher's Mansion, her mana was very strong.Many people thought that her mana might be much higher than Murong Min's.

Wu Yue has been busy for a while, but still hasn't found out anything.Before Murong Xuan was adopted as an adopted daughter by Murong Min, no one knew her name, where she came from, who her parents were, what her childhood experiences were, and so on.

It seems that we can only wait for the news from Yanling.

On the day of the "three-day return date" that Murong Xuan said, Yanling came and brought a very bad news.

"Murong Min and Murong Xia did not return to Fan Long."

"No reply?" Wu Yue was startled.

Yanling nodded solemnly: "I suspect that they may be dead."

"Murder and kill?"

Yanling nodded again: "By the way, there are even more strange things. I asked around in Fanlong, and there is no so-called 'Murong clan' in Fanlong at all."

"Moved?"

Yanling shook his head: "It's not that we moved away, it's that it never happened before."

"That's right, I found the wrong place? Isn't it Fan Long?"

"Not really. The place is right. The local people know that the Murong family, the national teacher of the dynasty, originated from Fanlong. Most young people are proud of it and believe in it. But the older people say , Fanlong is a small place, and there is no one with the surname Murong at all. There are quite a few place names with 'Fan' and 'Long' in the place names in Dazhou. It never occurred to me to correct it.”

"So, Murong Qing, the ancestor of the Murong family, didn't actually come from Fan Long?" Wu Yue said. "What is the purpose of her fabricating her native place?"

"Of course it's to cover up her true origin."

Wu Yue pondered to herself: Murong Xuan's life experience is a mystery, and Murong Qing's origin is also questionable.And this Murong clan is her faithful believer.During Murong Qing's reign, many princess temples were restored, and her incense was once prosperous.When the next two generations of national teachers were present, her incense declined again.Now that Murong Xuan is in power, her incense is flourishing again...

And counting the time when Murong Qing appeared, it was almost 100 years ago. During that time, she had just completed the mission of Ember Heaven Palace, returned to the Heavenly Court, and started to retreat...

Is it...

Seeing Wu Yue's face suddenly changed, Yanling asked earnestly, "What's wrong? Did you think of something?"

Wu Yue's face was a bit ugly: "I thought of a very bad situation, I need to be alone."

"Okay." Yanling always respected her opinion, since she didn't want to say it, he didn't ask. "Then I'll take Xiaotao to play on the street."

Wu Yue nodded with difficulty.
