Chapter 297 The Inextricable Murderous Intent
Outside the Wuying Palace, there were many people standing.
Zhu Feng walked out from inside.
He hadn't slept well for a long time, his face was pale, but his eyes were darker than before. He was wearing a black robe, which added a bit of oppressive aura under the gloomy sky.
He said coldly: "What's going on?"
Xu Miaoyin stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace today and have found the source of the epidemic."
"What is it?"
"Someone in the palace is using the art of curse to curse the concubine."
"What?"
A cold light flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes.
As a warrior who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield, he hated this kind of curse more than the sinister human hearts.
What's more, it was prevalent in the harem, and the people being cursed were the ones in the palace.
He said in a deep voice: "Where are the things?"
Several young eunuchs brought up a wooden figure wrapped in thick cloth and spread it on the ground. Zhu Feng took a cold look at it and said, "Have you found out who buried it?"
Xu Miaoyin lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I haven't found out who is behind this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Wan beside her said coldly, "But speaking of which, didn't someone almost get ahead of the Queen today?"
Ran Xiaoyu raised her head suddenly.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's going on?"
Xu Miaoyin repeated what had just happened.
Zhu Feng looked straight at Ran Xiaoyu with a pair of eyes as sharp as swords. Even though Ran Xiaoyu was in a cold and hard mood, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and lowered her head when she met such a pair of eyes full of hostility.
Zhu Feng asked, "You, have you also arrived at Jianfu Palace?"
"yes."
"Who asked you to come?"
Ran Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and said, "Your Majesty, Nan Yan is worried that more people will die in the palace, so she asked me to help investigate."
When he heard Nan Yan's name, a cold light flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes.
When he spoke, his voice seemed to be tempered with ice.
"She's... worried...?"
Xu Miaoyin felt a little uneasy when she heard the wrong voice, but Wu Wan understood everything completely. She sneered and said, "Okay, this servant is really thoughtful."
“…”
"I just don't know if it's out of kindness or ulterior motives."
Zhu Feng's breath sank.
Ran Xiaoyu was a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is very perceptive. Nan Yan has thought that the first person to die from the plague should be the first person to be infected with the plague, so she asked me to go to Jianfu Palace to check on Zhen'er's condition."
“…”
"She has no evil intentions!"
"No ill intentions..." Gao Yurong, who was standing by, thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You just said that Si Nanyan thought of this. Indeed, if you look at it that way, she is really very smart."
“…”
"But is she really that smart?"
“…”
"Don't forget, there is a kind of person who knows this without even thinking about it."
“…”
"That's the real murderer."
“…”
"The real murderer did it herself. She certainly knows who was the first person to be infected with the disease."
Everyone's expression changed suddenly.
At this moment, Xu Miaoyin raised her hand to stop them from continuing. She turned to look at Zhu Feng, whose face was ashen, and said softly, "Your Majesty, although we cannot be sure who did this, the murderer is undoubtedly from the harem."
“…”
"I failed to manage the harem well. I am guilty."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please make the final decision on this matter."
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy. After a while, he spoke in a deep voice.
There was a heavy murderous intent in the voice.
