"Either she lies or she tells the truth. I asked those palace maids who came back, and they didn't remember the appearance of the person who called them to help on the way. So there are two possibilities: one, she is a part of the accomplice! Two..." Ning Ling paused, "Someone tampered with her memory and made her unable to remember the other person's appearance, so naturally there was no trace. In addition, I also discovered one thing: these palace maids disappeared on the way back to their residence from the queen's bedroom!"

"Is the murderer the queen?" Luo Yue was shocked. It was not impossible to think about it. The queen must be the queen. Only she knows all patrol routes and can be changed at any time.

"Maybe...or maybe not... Think about it, these people disappeared after leaving her palace. The queen is not a fool. She can't attack this time. That doesn't mean telling everyone again, is the murderer her?"

"That's right," Luo Yue nodded, "Then what should we do now?"

"Use calmness to control the enemy, and I will not move. Because we don't know if there are people around us, we must be cautious every step. You and I may be the next target. When going out..." Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a figure stumbled in, "No, Yan'er is gone." The two of them looked closely and saw that the person coming was Lian Xing, who was in the same room with them, and her face was full of panic.

Luo Yue stepped forward, stood in front of Ning Ling, and took the opportunity to support the person rushing in: "What's going on?"

"Yan'er just said she wanted to go to the Empress Palace to send things and ask me to accompany her, but... I came back just now, and everyone asked me why Yan'er didn't come back with me, so I remembered that I went out with her. On the way back, we met two palace maids, who said they were from the Empress Ning and Empress Rou Palace, and asked us to help them find things, and Yan'er and I separated. After that..." Lian Xing frowned, "I came back alone after that."

Ning Ling quickly put away the things on the table and exchanged a look with Luo Yue who looked back at her. Concubine Ning and Concubine Rou were both favorite concubines of the current emperor, but the palace where they lived was one to the south and one to the north. Both of them were very favored by the emperor, and many people in the palace cursed them. So if the palace maids around them asked for help, no one would refuse, especially those who were the lowest-level coolies at the bottom of the palace.

"Who are you going to help? Concubine Ning or Concubine Rou?" Ning Ling helped her sit down and got a cup of tea for her.

"I don't remember!" Lian Xing drank all the tea in one breath and looked at the two of them with a long eye, "Is the murderer appearing again? Will Yan'er be in danger?"

"If Yan'er disappears, the body of the last missing palace maid will appear at the same time." Luo Yue thought for a while, "When you come back, is there any news outside."

"No! Although our laundry people are lowly, they are familiar with most of the palace maids in the palace because of this. If anything happens, we will know it immediately." Lian Xing said.

"Don't worry, this way. If Yan'er doesn't come back tomorrow, we will go to the two empresses to ask where to ask. Before the bodies were found, we cannot conclude that she was captured by the murderer. Perhaps, she was just left in the palace of one of the empresses."

"That's all..." Lianxing looked at the sky outside. Even if everyone was sent out to find it now, no one would be willing to help. After all, there is a hidden murderous intent in the palace now, and no one would be willing to risk their lives to go out to find someone.
