Yun Zhuo's voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot again, but his tone was extremely cold as he said, "Before Consort Li's palace was stained with blood, that little palace maid had already escaped from the palace. That was a precaution Consort Li had taken in advance. The palace servants only discovered it when they were counting the number of people afterward."

In other words, the old nanny was likely a decoy, but the young palace maid might actually have real evidence.

Yun Zhuo's words made Ye Qingxue realize in an instant that even if it meant facing countless difficulties and risking his life, he would personally go to find that little palace maid.

After a moment's thought, Ye Qingxue finally said, "Perhaps that little palace maid was just sent out of the palace on a mission and happened to escape this calamity, and then Shen Jiefeng and the others described her as having evidence and escaping?"

The little house fell silent once again.

The possibility that Ye Qingxue mentioned is not entirely out of the question.

At that time, Consort Li was in favor of the emperor, and it wouldn't have been difficult for her to send a palace maid out to do something.

Yun Zhuo slowly clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles making a "crackling" sound.

Boundless malevolence slowly emanated from his body, filling the entire small house.

This made Ye Qingxue feel as if she were in the eye of a storm.

Suddenly, "bang!"

The door to the small house was kicked open, instantly shattering the oppressive atmosphere that filled the room. Yun Zhuo turned his head and saw nothing but blood.

But it was Grey Seven who barged in.

Yun Zhuo: "..."

Gray Seven seemed unaware of its master's danger. It stepped forward and bit Yun Zhuo's clothes, trying to pull Yun Zhuo away, but Yun Zhuo remained standing, unmoved.

Grey Seven tried several times but failed.

It had no choice but to bite Ye Qingxue's skirt and pull her toward Yun Zhuo, clearly wanting Ye Qingxue to persuade Yun Zhuo to go out with it.

The situation is extremely urgent.

Ye Qingxue said, "Young Master Ling, do not rush to your death. It will not change the outcome. I am about to die and there is nothing I can do, but I have only avenged half of my grudge. I need you to help me avenge the rest."

She grasped Yun Zhuo's wrist and slowly tightened her grip.

Seeing Yun Zhuo looking over, she said, "Where does Hui Qi want to go? I'll go with you."

In Yun Zhuo's scarlet eyes,

Inch by inch,

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Someone offered to accompany him.

Tonight, Kyoto is filled with an atmosphere of fear and unease. People keep their doors and windows tightly shut, and the streets are eerily quiet. Every few turns, you can see guards exuding a menacing aura.

Hui Qi led Ye Qingxue and Yun Zhuo, weaving east and west, repeatedly avoiding the guards' eyes and ears, while Bai Qi ran behind them, covering their retreat at all times.

Grey Seven led them to a mansion.

It turned out to be the residence of the imperial physician Liu Qinghe.

Liu Qinghe was only thirty years old. He was a renowned imperial physician in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was already married and had two children, one eight years old and the other five.

I heard that he had no concubines and was very devoted to his wife.

At this moment, the Liu residence was completely surrounded by guards, so tightly guarded that it was impossible to get through.

If it weren't for Hui Qi leading the way, Yun Zhuo and Ye Qingxue would have had no chance to squeeze into someone's backyard.

At this moment, the two of them were lying on the roof of someone's backyard, while Gray and White stood guard below, keeping watch for them at any time.

Has the imperial physician Liu Qinghe committed a crime?

It doesn't look like it.

I have no idea who is in this backyard.

Ye Qingxue and Yun Zhuo exchanged a glance, lifted a tile in front of them, and peeked inside, only to be greatly surprised.

Why is it Empress Shen?

Moreover, there were only Empress Shen and Liu Qinghe in the room, and Liu Qinghe was holding the Empress's hand.

It is unclear what they had said before, but when Empress Chen said, "...I am leaving the palace this time to witness the death of the deposed crown prince with my own eyes, otherwise I will not be at peace."

Liu Qinghe said, "Now that such a tight net has been laid, he will definitely have no chance of escaping this time."

Empress Shen said, "But my target is not just him..."

Liu Qinghe: "I understand, Jetwind will handle this for us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue's mind went blank for a moment, and she suddenly remembered a major event from her past life.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was stained with blood, and dark clouds covered the sun. So that's when it happened!

Ye Qingxue's heart pounded, incredibly fast.

But what she and Yun Zhuo saw at that moment was enough to make their blood run cold.
