Chapter 130: Hungry Ghost Festival

Night moon, moat.

Dark clouds covered the clouds, and in the cool wind, the lush willow trees on both sides looked like strange and dormant beasts with long hair hanging down in the darkness.

A group of palace maids carefully held the river lantern and put it into the water.

The water surface was calm, like a dark mirror, and at that moment, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the mirror...

And getting bigger and bigger...

The little palace maid who was closest noticed it and stretched out her neck to take a look curiously.

The next moment, I was faced with a pale face that was deformed and swollen due to soaking...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The screams pierced the dead silence of the palace, revealing what was destined to be an uneventful night.

Although no useful clues were obtained during the simulation, as an excellent laborer, Linlang still cooperated and rushed over as soon as possible...well, to watch the excitement.

The little palace maid was not very young. After experiencing such stimulation, she was shaken to pieces.

The body had been fished out and placed in the middle covered with a white cloth, waiting for the eunuch in charge to arrive and deal with it.

Linlang walked over boldly.

At this moment, people were in panic, but no one noticed her.

She quietly opened a corner.

The bloated and soft face of the corpse suddenly came into view.

She was still wearing a palace maid's costume, and her eyes, which had lost their luster after being soaked, were still wide open, and she could see the extreme panic in them.

When his eyes moved downward, he touched the dry and twisted blood vessels on her neck, as if they had been sucked dry...

Linlang's expression changed.

Originally, she didn't see anything in the simulation several times, but now something changed.

The obscure and difficult words in ancient books quickly flowed and pieced together in her mind.

Finally, several characters were formed - Nanyi's strange arts and poisons.

But in the harem, she didn't remember anyone from Nanyi who was still alive.

The people from the inner palace came quickly and carried the frightening corpse down.

However, the death of a palace maid should have been only a small matter to the palace masters.

But the problem is that falling into the water and dying during the Hungry Ghost Festival would be too unlucky. Therefore, many concubines were so frightened that they got up in the middle of the night to smoke moxa to drive away evil spirits.

"elder sister."

He Chu came with a group of people from the inner palace. He was wearing clean palace clothes. Because he had relieved himself from his worries during the last talk, his complexion had improved a lot. But at this moment, his face was rare and serious.

Condensation.

"This palace maid seems to be from Zhao Meiren's palace."

"Meimei Zhao?" Linlang only paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered.

It's the new Zhao Qianran who entered the palace.

"Yes, she should be the personal maid that Zhao Meiren brought into the palace from home." He Chu told her in a low voice.

"And judging from the corpse spots on his body, he died at least a day ago. He should have died first and then fell into the water. It's very strange."

The Zhao family was newly supported by Murong Linshen and balanced the decentralization of power with the other three aristocratic families. It can be said that the family has absolutely no connection with Nanyi.

Zhao Qianran is also a very upright and well-behaved lady. So how come the palace maid, who is always close to her, is killed by strange magic and poison?

"I heard that Beauty Zhao fell seriously ill on the day she entered the palace, and she is still recuperating her body." As the apprentice of General Manager He Da, He Chu was much better informed.

"Have you been to see the imperial doctor? What did they say?" Linlang asked, holding a palace lantern in her hand and frowning slightly.

"The imperial doctor said that she fell ill from heatstroke because she stood under the sun for too long on the day of the draft." He Chu continued.

"Is it caused by heat stroke?"

Linlang's eyebrows became even more knotted.
