The sky was emitting a faint light.

Two purple-red halos tightly surrounded Shangguan Yue and the five little birds.

Suddenly the aperture turned into a beam of light and suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth.

Shangguan Yue on the bed moved her eyes, slowly opened them, and stretched herself. She seemed to have had a very long dream.

In her dream, her heart ached and her eyes were shedding tears. She touched her face and it was wet.

How long has it been since you had a dream?

The five little birds also woke up in their respective little rooms. They remembered what the Holy Mother looked like. It turned out that their mother was so beautiful.

Is that man their father? Then are they birds or humans?

Mom is dead, is Dad still alive?

……

Shangguan Yue wiped the tears from her face, feeling strange. She was not a tearful person, so why would she cry in a dream?

"Miss, Yanhong is back." Seeing Shangguan Yue got up, Bai Zhi brought her water for washing.

"Let her in!" Shangguan Yue took the wet towel and wiped her face.

"Miss, Nanny Zhu has been arrested. She and Li Caiju are both born bad. We couldn't get anything out of them by ordinary persuasion. We had to send her to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cellar in our secret guard training base before she confessed."

"Oh, what did she confess?"

"Mother Zhu has been with Li Caiju for more than ten years. They have the same hobbies and are like-minded. They enjoy torturing people. Anyone who offends them will end up with a tragic death.

About eight or nine years ago, someone found Li Caiju and allowed her to do whatever she wanted without anyone causing trouble for her, as long as she worked for him and helped him do things.

After that, Li Caiju became even more outrageous. If they couldn't snatch the beautiful men they liked, they would secretly capture them and keep them in captivity. Those who obeyed were fine, but those who didn't either committed suicide or were sent to Nanfeng Pavilion."

Yan Hong's perception of what Zhu Ma and Li Caiju did was completely overturned. Aren't these evil things done by bad men? Women can actually do such filthy things.

What Shangguan Yue couldn't understand was, how could someone find Li Caiju eight or nine years ago and promise to let her do whatever she wanted?

Li Caiju was just an ordinary woman at that time. What was worth bribing her?

No, at that time Li Junlan married into the General's Mansion, which was still called the Loyal and Brave General's Mansion. It was the house given by the emperor to Shangguan Yan after her grandfather died for the country.

Shangguan Yan's father was still at the border and took over the position of General Zhongyong, but Li Junlan was desperate at that time and no one could bribe a person who was seeking death.

But what's the use of bribing Li Caiju? She has been at odds with Li Junlan since childhood. Unless that person didn't know about their bad relationship at the beginning, after all, Wengcheng is thousands of miles away from Yuecheng.

But Li Caiju had not come to see Li Junlan for all these years, and she only showed up on the day of Shangguan Yan's welcoming banquet.

Li Junlan was poisoned by Zhang Shurou only after she learned that Shangguan Yan was awarded the title of General Protector of the Nation. Where did Zhang Shurou find the poison from Xiyue? This medicine is a secret medicine of the royal family.

Could it be that Li Caiju and Zhang Shurou had already reached some kind of cooperation? Were they in cahoots? Was this medicine given by Li Caiju?

By the way, Zhou Cheng’s original wife also died under unclear circumstances, and the doctor couldn’t find the cause. Could it be that the poison was the same one that Li Junlan was poisoned with?

"Yanhong, calm Li Caiju down first. Don't let her know that Aunt Zhu has been arrested. Interrogate Zhang Shurou to see if she has had any contact with Li Caiju.

By the way, did Aunt Zhu tell us who is behind Li Caiju? "

"Miss, when you captured Aunt Zhu and brought her back, you asked someone to tell Li Caiju that Aunt Zhu's nephew was seriously ill and she returned to visit him. Li Caiju had been so proud for so many years that she never suspected anything.

According to Aunt Zhu, the person who contacted Li Caiju was a man with a pale face and no beard, and spoke in a sissy voice. Aunt Zhu was curious about this man and had followed him once. The man entered Juxing Tower and did not come out for many days.

"Sissy? Juxing Tower?" Shangguan Yue suddenly remembered the rescue of Datou Chong, Erbai Shanguang and others in front of Juxing Tower. It was Wang Jiu who sent people to do it that day.

Wang Jiu is the Seventh Prince's man, and that effeminate man should be a eunuch. Juxing Tower was opened by the Seventh Prince and is a secret base in Yuecheng.

That means the Seventh Prince had planted all kinds of hidden lines among the civil and military officials eight or nine years ago. How old was the Seventh Prince eight or nine years ago? An eight or nine-year-old child?

Shangguan Yue shuddered. The people in the palace were really all bad. Even the young ones were born bad. She should never have any contact with people in the palace in the future.

"Juxing Tower should be the base of the Seventh Prince Xiao Shen. Yan Hong, you must be careful when investigating. After you find out clearly from Madam Zhu, send the matter to the government office. Only when there is sufficient evidence can we arrest Li Caiju.

If Li Caiju is arrested, it might alert Xiao Shen, so we need to collect more evidence."

Shangguan Yue originally wanted to let Yan Hong take a rest and let Jin Feiyun investigate, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up. That man was unreliable, perhaps because he was too young.

Shangnan is not a good choice either, as he has a blood feud with the Seventh Prince. When investigating, he is afraid that he will be too impulsive and unable to control himself. If he is exposed, he will be dead.

Of course, she is very afraid of death. If Shangnan is exposed, she will get into trouble with the poisonous snake and will be dead. It is safer to let Yanhong go.

"Yan Hong, go down and have a good rest first. Then go check it out after you've rested."

"Yes, Miss Xie."

After Yan Hong left, Shangguan Yue was still analyzing the complicated relationships in this case. The children in ancient times were really precocious. In modern times, children aged ten or eight still like to play in the mud in the fields.

Other people's children have already started planning everything to get to the top. They not only seduce civil and military officials in the court, but also use the secret tricks of the women in the inner house.

She was a little curious whether the innocent and cute Seventh Prince was born a bad person, or had been bullied or hurt in the palace?

And there is a saying that like father, like son. The emperor is sure of that. His sharp eyes towards Shangguan Yan, his cheap father, are not good. So his mother must not be simple either!

"Sister, sister." Five little birds flew in together, waking Shangguan Yue who was deep in thought.

"Xiaobai, Xiaojin, Xiaohei, you are all back!" Shangguan Yue hasn't seen the three of them for a while, and their previous contact was only through telepathy.

"What's wrong with you?" I saw that the five little ones' eyes were red and tears were shining in them.

“Sister, we both saw Mother and Father in our dreams last night. Mother and Father are so miserable. Mother is gone, and Father is gone too. Wuuuuuuu…”

The five little birds cried together. Shangguan Yue didn't know how to persuade them all at once. She persuaded one to stop crying, and then another one started crying. She persuaded another one to stop crying, and then this one started crying again...

"Please stop crying. If you don't stop, I will join you in crying!" Shangguan Yue said helplessly.

"Sister, we dreamed last night that we went to Ziyan Island and met Daddy, and also saw the Saint Mother who came to Nanyue to save Daddy, and also saw what Ziyanling looked like. But..."
