laugh.

Yao Guang slashed the palace concubine's chest and abdomen with a knife. No blood flowed out, but a faint fragrance came out.

The aroma was acceptable, but after a short breath, Chu Liang immediately felt suffocated! The aroma was so poisonous that he couldn't even breathe!

You must know that your current physical strength is not inferior to that of a true dragon in the same realm. If any ordinary poison wants to be effective, the dose will probably be piled up into a mountain. And this faint fragrance can make you suffocate just by smelling it. It is really scary.

It was like there was some kind of diaphragm at the end of his nose, which suddenly made him lose the ability to breathe. Fortunately, the aroma was not strong, and it only lasted for a few breaths. Chu Liang used his true energy to break through this restriction.

Not only him, but also Li Chengfeng, the Heavenly Official of the Seventh Realm, was infected by the fragrance and felt temporarily uncomfortable. However, his cultivation level was much higher than that of Chu Liang, so he did not deliberately break through and recovered in an instant.

The most miserable person was the eunuch Yao Guang. He was the closest and had the lowest cultivation level. He couldn't breathe. The sharp knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He took a few steps back and covered his chest in pain.

Li Chengfeng stepped forward, tapped two acupuncture points on Yao Guang's chest with one palm and one finger, and immediately helped him to breathe more freely, letting him breathe heavily for a moment.

"What kind of poison is this?" Chu Liang was still frightened, "It's so scary."

"It's Huanluo Juexixiang." Li Chengfeng replied.

"Does Li Tianguan know?" The two men immediately looked at him.

The Supervisor of the State is responsible for the world's secret crimes and has extensive knowledge. He must have more knowledge of this kind than they do.

Li Chengfeng said: "This poison is extremely strong. You will suffocate if you inhale it, but as long as you stay away in time, nothing will happen. Therefore, this kind of poison is usually used with high-level illusions. It makes people unable to notice in the illusion.

You will feel suffocated until you die. Those who die from this poison often die in an extremely peaceful manner, making it difficult to judge."

After a pause, he continued: "The person who is best at using this poison is Yinghuo's killer Xiao Wuyan. The Supervisory Office only understood the power of this poison after taking over many of the shenanigans she had committed."

"I see." This was the first time Chu Liang had heard of this strange poison. "Then wasn't Xiao Wuyan already arrested before?"

"That's right." Li Chengfeng said: "She is currently in Tianbei Prison, and it is impossible for her to do this. But I don't know who else has mastered this poison. The only thing that can be confirmed is that most of them are

A master of illusion."

"Let's finish examining the corpse first." Chu Liang nodded and asked Yao Guang to continue.

The lingering fragrance just now was just the poisonous fragrance remaining in the palace concubine's body. It was already so strong that it was not surprising that she would be poisoned to death.

This also made Chu Liang feel a little in awe. There are many strange poisons in the world, and the poison-removing whip is not omnipotent. If he does not remain cautious enough, he may die without taking out the poison-removing whip next time.

Yao Guang inspected the body again and confirmed that he died after inhaling the incense of Huanluo Juexi.

Chu Liang was silent for a moment, looking thoughtful, and then suddenly said: "Let's go back to Qinghong Garden and have a look."

Time was running out, and he no longer cared about the rules of the imperial city. He flew directly, with Li Chengfeng and Yao Guang following closely behind. The three of them rode at lightning speed until they arrived at Qinghong Garden.

Although Li Chengfeng and Yao Guang didn't know what he was looking for, this was the scene where the body was found, so it wasn't unusual for them to come and check it out.

Chu Liang was seen climbing over layers of high walls and rockeries, heading straight to the place where the palace concubine was found. The master "just happened to be passing by" here and discovered the palace concubine's body.

Chu Liang closed his eyes and leaned over, took a deep breath, and checked the spot. Then he looked around carefully and saw that a whole patch of flowers and plants were withered.

"This is the place where the murder was committed." He concluded: "The palace concubine should have come here by herself, and then was poisoned to death by the illusion."

"What are you doing here at Qinghong Garden?" Yao Guang asked in surprise.

"Maybe only she knows this..." Before Chu Liang finished speaking, he set off and flew out again, rushing to the next location.

"Hey?" Yao Guang greeted quickly, but had no choice but to follow. He turned to look at Li Chengfeng who was standing aside: "Li Tianguan, do you know what His Royal Highness is going to do?"

"You don't even know this?" Li Chengfeng glanced at him with a touch of disdain.

"That's why I asked." Yao Guang spread his hands and said, quite sincerely.

"He is going to..." Li Chengfeng lengthened his voice, and then said solemnly: "Investigate the case!"

"Oh." Yao Guang nodded, thinking that listening to Li Tianguan's words was really like listening to a single sentence.

…

After a while, the three of them arrived at the concubine's courtyard.

Chu Liang had just come here not long ago, and the palace concubine who should have died long ago was sitting by the lake. Not only Chu Liang himself knew this, but the guards of Guanlong Prison could also bear witness.

The fake palace concubine should have appeared through some kind of transformation method, and might even be the most powerful magic spirit fox phantom. Thinking about it this way, this person is almost 90% the murderer of the palace concubine.

But after the murderer killed her, why did he come back disguised as her?

Simply take a look at the water?

Unlikely.

If it was to create the illusion that the concubine was not dead, it seemed unnecessary. After all, it would take a long time for the body to be discovered in Qinghong Garden, and no one knew the whereabouts of the concubine.

Chu Liang stood by the lake, staring at the water, and said to Yao Guang: "Has the palace concubine's maid asked?"

Soon the two maids here were brought up.

Due to the status of the imperial concubine, she should not have only two people to serve her. However, she always liked to be quiet, so she explained to the emperor that only two people were required to serve her.

"Mother, she..." The two maids cried bitterly, and one of them was a little older. "She is not very kind to the two of us on weekdays. She often doesn't ask us to wait on her.

We are not allowed to get close to you... slaves... slaves don't know much about my queen."

The other younger one, with tears streaming down her face, sobbed: "The empress treats us very well, and she never orders people around like other empresses in the palace. How could such a good person like her be killed..."

"

Chu Liang listened to their cries and suddenly asked: "Is there anything strange about the concubine?"

The two maids thought for a while, and then the younger one said: "If there is anything strange about it, it is that she always likes to stay alone by the lake, and talks to herself there... as if she is talking to the fish.

.”

Chu Liang nodded and looked towards the water again.

"This waterway leads to the outside of the imperial city..." Li Chengfeng also immediately thought, "Could the imperial concubine have connections with people outside the imperial city?"

"She participated in letting the golden dragon go, and then went to Qinghong Garden alone on the eve of the Qinghong Banquet. There must be something abnormal." Chu Liang said, "Before finding the murderer, I think we can search for the imperial concubine first.

"

Naturally, there was no need to search her body. The imperial concubine was already lying there with her heart and soul in her chest.

But Chu Liang felt that it was necessary to investigate her palace.

"Where is the palace of the imperial concubine?" he asked.

"This way." The two maids quickly pointed the way, "My queen sleeps very lightly and never lets us get close to the room where she sleeps."

"Then we have to go and see it." Chu Liang's face was expressionless, his mind racing.

Bang.

When you open the door, you see a rather simple bedroom. There are not many furnishings in it, just a screen, bed, table, chairs, bronze mirror...

"If I were a palace concubine, where would I put the things that I can't bring with me when I'm not visible to others?" Chu Liang continued to think.

The palace concubines do not have any storage instruments on their bodies. As concubines of the harem, if they carry storage instruments, they will be strictly inspected, so most of them do not have such things.

"A detailed search of such a large room may take a while," Yao Guang said.

"Search?" Chu Liang repeated.

"Huh?" Yao Guang looked at him, confused.

Immediately, he saw Chu Liang put his hand on the floor, and a dragon fire instantly spread from his palm!

He is setting fire!

"What are you doing?" Even Li Chengfeng's eyes widened this time.

"Searching this palace is indeed very laborious. Let's just use the elimination method." Chu Liang said: "The place where the concubine hides hidden items must not be afraid of fire."

boom--

Li Chengfeng looked at Chu Liang in surprise, and it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly remembered... that he was indeed the apprentice of Emperor Nv Feng!
