In the afternoon, the scorching sun was scorching, and the yellow glazed tiles reflected a dazzling glow, yelling loudly, as if endless.

Thousands of rays of sunlight pierced into the towering palace like a sharp sword, and the Spring Wuyuan was as quiet as death, as if there was no one.

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan stepped into the courtyard. There were only a few people under the lobby, lying on the ground or leaning on the wall, or holding a shabby palace fan, most of them were in the greenery of the backyard. Get cool.

Mother Li received the notification from the palace and hurried over and ran out of sweat.

"The slave and maid paid a visit to His Royal Highness, Lord Shen, I wonder what your Highness has ordered?"

She bowed respectfully and bowed her head deeply.

This prince came to Chunwuyuan twice in three days. When was he tall? Could something happen again?

Murong Ci said coldly: "My palace and Lord Shen are walking everywhere, you are busy with your go."

Mother Li bowed and retired, but where did she dare to leave and sit in the shade of the greenery to enjoy the cool?

This big Buddha is here, and she has to stay awake at all times and find a place to wait, so that the prince won't get a handle on it.

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan went to the backyard, and there were quite a few people in the three shops. In the backyard, the shade of greenery was as cool as water, and many people were dozing off there.

The person they were looking for stood in the corner.

An Gui was sitting in a wheelchair holding a yellow and shabby book. The heat was unbearable. He still covered his head and face with a long gray-black cloth. Liu Mei stood aside, combing his fallen horse bun, with a calm expression, guarding the master loyally.

Coincidentally, Liu Mei was facing them, his left face was clearly seen.

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, then stared for a moment.

An Guiren noticed that he was being watched, and turned his head to look, his expression was not half surprised, and he was as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

Liu Mei also turned around, but soon turned back.

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan saw it clearly, and she did not have any scars on her right cheek.

It can be said that Liu Mei is in her 50s, wrinkled, but without any blemishes.

Now that they saw it, Murongci and Shen Zhiyan walked over.

"His Royal Highness wants to repair the Chunwu Courtyard. He told me to wait and see where the repairs are needed." Murong said loudly.

"His Royal Highness also said that fresh rice and vegetables will be delivered next day." Shen Zhiyan smiled, turning his eyes to Liu Mei without a trace.

Just now, His Royal Highness has already told him about the disfigurement of Liu Mei, and he can conclude that there is a problem with this Liu Mei.

An Gui said lightly: "His Royal Highness benevolence and generosity is the blessing of the community."

Murongci's gaze turned, and he inadvertently swept across Liu Mei's face, and said, "Let's go look elsewhere."

An Gui nodded slightly, which was a respectful gift.

When they left the backyard, An Guiren looked at Liu Mei, his lonely and clear eyes instantly condensed with a cool glow.

Liu Mei was puzzled, "Why do they come to Spring Wuyuan again and again?"

An Guiren's gaze returned to the old and yellowed book, and he did not answer.

When Murongci and Shen Zhiyan left the Spring Wuyuan, she suddenly stopped, thinking: "Qiao Fei should remember correctly, and she should not deceive this palace. If this Liu Mei is a fake now, then why should she fake Liu Mei? Really? Where is Liu Mei?"

"There is a more important point. It is impossible for An Gui to mistake his maidservant. Then there is only one possibility, An Gui also has a problem." Shen Zhiyan said categorically, with joy filled his eyebrows. Nowadays, there are new clues in the numerous mysteries and murder cases.

"My palace also feels that Angui is very problematic. This hot summer, she still wraps her head and face with a long cloth towel, which is really strange."

"Go ask the person in charge of the palace."

Hearing that they were about to ask questions, Madam Li immediately invited them to her room, fawningly, took out the tea cakes and ordered the palace clerk to make tea.

Shen Zhiyan said gently and elegantly: "This official is just a routine inquiry, and Mother Li doesn't need to be polite."

The palace maid still took the tea cakes to make tea. Mother Li stood and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Master Shen would like to ask, the servants know everything."

Murong asked straightforwardly: "Do you know Mr. An, why is Mr. An covering his head and face on such a hot day?"

Grandma Li replied: "About five or six years ago, An ordinary person covered her head and face all day long. She said that she had a head problem, and she often felt headaches, and felt that the back of her head was chilly. Your Highness, is it an An ordinary criminal? Something?"

"You just need to answer." Shen Zhiyan's face became cold.

"Yes, yes." She lowered her head, watching her nose and heart.

"Does An Shuren's maidservant Liu Mei always follow the master? Has he followed the day An Shuren entered the Spring Wuyuan?" He asked, looking at the palace.

"Think about the slave maid... It happened more than ten years ago, and the slave maid doesn't have a good memory."

Mother Li was frightened and nervous, her facial features were a bit twisted, her hands twisted around her clothes, and the cold sweat from her back kept coming out.

Oops, she really didn't remember whether An Shuren went to Chunwuyuan for more than ten years with his maidservant Liu Mei.

At this time, a thirty-something court lady came in with two cups of tea and placed it respectfully on the mottled case.

Grandma Li had an inspiration, "Xiaotao, you have been in the Spring Wuyuan for more than 20 years, do you remember An ordinary man... is that An honorable person came in with Liu Mei when he entered the Spring Wuyuan?"

Xiao Tao tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Lord Shen, and the slave-maid remember clearly that An Shuren came alone when he entered the Spring Wuyuan."

"Why do you remember so clearly?" Shen Zhiyan looked at His Royal Highness, there was something weird about this.

"The concubine who commits an offense or being demoted will usually bring a maidservant close to him when he enters the Spring Wuyuan. The maidservant An did not bring him in. The maidservant thought it was a bit weird back then, so he inquired about it. Maid Liumei, was expelled from the palace by An Shuren because of the crime." Xiaotao replied.

"Have you seen Liu Mei?" Murong asked calmly.

Mother Li and Xiaotao shook their heads, saying that they hadn't seen them.

Murongci asked again: "Then what's going on with Liu Mei now?"

Grandma Li felt that this matter was getting more and more weird. The prince asked in such a detailed manner that this matter must be very important. It is impossible for the prince to interrogate so much if An ordinary person and Liu Mei have committed a serious matter. Mother Li became more frightened as she thought about it, she didn't dare to conceal something, and said: "Just five or six years ago, An ordinary person suffered from a head ailment and a few days ago, she took Liu Mei to the slave and said that Liu Mei would stay in the Spring Wuyuan to take care of her. She. The Spring Wuyuan is isolated from the world and is a place to accommodate criminals and concubines. There are not many more people and a lot less. The slaves and maids did not care, so Liu Mei stayed to take care of the concubines."

Murongci asked a few more questions, and then left Chunwuyuan.

Before leaving, she told Mother Li and Xiao Tao that if they thought of the weird things that happened in the Spring Wuyuan in the past ten years, they could go to the East Palace to find her.

Behind them, a person turned from another palace road, looking at their back, his eyes cold as poison.

Walking around under the scorching sun, Murong was sweating, and her back was sweaty, but she didn't care, "Why did Liu Mei clearly leave the palace, why did he return to the palace ten years later, and willingly enter the Chunwuyuan to serve someone without any hope? , A commoner whose life is over? Isn't that weird?"

Shen Zhiyan nodded, "What's even stranger is that the Liu Mei who suddenly returned to the palace was not the original Liu Mei who was disfigured. An Gui and Liu Mei have been together for so many years, and it is impossible for them to admit their mistakes. Also, An Gui suddenly suffers. I have a head disease and cover her head and face in the name of a head disease. It is clear that I don’t want people to see her face."

"Liu Mei is not that Liu Mei, so An Guiren..." She thought hard, as if a flash of lightning flashed by, "An Gui is not the original An Gui!"

"This makes sense. But, who are the masters and servants? Why impersonate An Guiren and Liu Mei? What are they trying to hide in the Spring Wuyuan?" He frowned, "Another bigger suspicion lies. In front of us."

"Yeah, who are they? The deaths of Bai Shuren and Mo Shuren have something to do with them?" Murong Ci frowned, "If we ask directly, we won't be able to ask anything, we will just startle the snake."

"Fortunately, the palace is finally at peace these few days, we can investigate this matter slowly." Shen Zhiyan comforted.

She nodded, she could only do this now.

...

Qingyuan Hall.

Murong resigned to greet the father and the emperor, and the "father and son" spoke for a long time.

Murong Cheng ate the bird's nest porridge and took the medicine. She helped him to lie down to rest, preparing to retire.

At this time, someone broke in with his clothes and belt, bringing up a whirlwind.

A beautiful red shadow leaned against the emperor's dragon couch, her body was soft and charming, her voice was delicate and crisp, "Father, sons and ministers are here to greet the emperor."

Such a daughter's attitude, half or six points of coquettish attitude.

Murong Ci's heart was slightly bitter. In this life, she would never have the opportunity to act like a spoiled daughter to her father.

Murong Cheng patted Murong Chang's white and snowy catkins and smiled lovingly, "Zhaohua is good, has filial piety, and I am comforted."

"Father, every day from now on, the children will come to greet the emperor. The emperor has been out of the palace for half a year, but the emperor was seriously ill and failed to know in time. He was not able to come back to take care of the illness. It won't be like this anymore. From now on, my son will stay with the emperor father every day." Murong Chang said sweetly, with a sweet smile on her small face, enough to drown hundreds of ants.

"Good, good." He smiled cheerfully, very happy.

She looked at Murongci and winked secretly, "The prince's brother is getting more handsome and handsome."

Murong Ci Shu Lang said: "Father, the emperor sister is not too young, it is the age of marriage. But the father has to rest for a while, it is better to choose a horse, give the emperor sister the marriage, and treat the father emperor dragon. After the physical recovery, the wedding ceremony will be held. What does the emperor think?"

Murong Chang shook her hand and acted like her daughter Jia Yiyi and said coquettishly: "Father, my son does not want to marry, my son wants to stay with my father for a few more years. But I don't know why, wherever my son goes. I can hear someone chewing their tongue, saying that the son..."

As she said, she lowered her head, five points wronged, five points pitiful.

Murong Cheng's smiling face suddenly became cold, "Who dares to talk about my Zhaohua? Don't you want to die?"
