After Long Chen returned to Qiuxing Hall, Di Luoxi got up.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Xiang Ning did her hair and makeup.

Long Chen is a grown man, so of course he doesn't need to put on makeup, but Zhang Qian and his gang often sleep here, so everything a woman needs is complete.

"Going out? Are you still investigating the flower devil's case?"

Di Luoxi saw Long Chen coming in from the mirror.

"Yes, I just went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the boy from Mo's house was sleepwalking and froze to death."

Long Chen felt that the child named Xiaofeng did not freeze to death, but was silenced.

While Xiang Ning was combing Di Luoxi's hair, she asked in surprise: "No way, sleepwalking and freezing to death, this is too strange."

Di Luoxi asked: "Did you find anything?"

Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "There are some clues, but I'm not sure."

Di Luoxi asked: "How can I help you?"

Long Chen shook his head and said: "No need, I have my own plan."

Di Luoxi combed her hair and returned to the West Palace.

Long Chen left Qiuxing Hall, went to the chamberlain room, entered the courtyard, and saw Yingfeng just coming back.

"How's the case going?"

Yingfeng asked anxiously.

Long Chen said: "I have some clues, and I would like to ask you for a favor."

Yingfeng immediately said: "Speak!"

Long Chen whispered, Yingfeng nodded...

....

Nangong.

Shangguan Xue entered the room, where Di Xingwan was warming himself by the fire and reading.

"Princess, Master Yingfeng said that he has prepared a table of wine in the garden and invites you to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Di Xingwan was in a bad mood and said lightly: "I won't go."

Shangguan Xue saw that Di Xingwan was in a low mood and advised: "Princess, let's go for a walk or relax. The wintersweet in the garden is blooming beautifully."

After great difficulty, he offered Li Tianze a job as Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but when he took office, he encountered the case of the flower-picking devil, causing Emperor Xingwan to lose face.

Di Xingwan put down the book in his hand and said, "Bring me my coat."

Shangguanxue immediately prepared her coat and hand warmers, and several people accompanied her to the garden.

As soon as Emperor Xingwan left, Long Chen entered Nangong.

His identity is the general manager of the harem, and he can move around at will except Fengming Palace.

After entering Nangong, the maids inside were a little scared when they saw Long Chen.

The rumors of Long Chen's murder were still there, and the maids bowed their heads and saluted.

"Where is Xueling?"

Before coming, Long Chen asked Xiang Ning and others to inquire about Nangong's situation, and learned that the woman who had a good relationship with Shuang Shuang was called Xue Ling, not Xiao Ling.

The palace maids looked at each other and did not answer immediately.

"Don't tell?"

Long Chen's voice immediately turned cold, and the palace maid was so frightened that she quickly replied: "In Moyuntang."

Long Chen nodded to a timid palace maid and said coldly: "Lead the way!"

The palace maid lowered her head and bent forward with small steps to lead the way. Long Chen followed behind and entered an elegant academy. This is where Emperor Xingwan studied.

Entering the courtyard, I heard the giggling voice of the palace maid.

The palace maid whispered: "Sir, Xue Ling is inside."

Long Chen waved his hand and the palace maid left quickly, as if she was afraid of Xue Ling.

When I walked to the door, the laughter inside suddenly became smaller, and then returned to normal.

Long Chen pushed the door open and saw a pink-faced and enchanting woman, teasing with several other palace ladies on the couch by the fire.

Seeing Long Chen come in, several people hurriedly stood up and bowed and said: "Master Manager."

In the harem, they are still accustomed to calling Long Chen the manager.

Long Chen chuckled and said, "I'll listen to you if you say you're so happy."

After saying that, Long Chen took off his shoes, sat next to Xue Ling, and naturally put his hands on Xue Ling's shoulders.

Xue Ling's face changed slightly, her eyes flickered, but she quickly calmed down and giggled: "We are talking about something between girls. I'm afraid it's not convenient for adults to listen."

The maids next to her were not as calm as Xue Ling, and the rumors of murder were still there, so they were very afraid of Long Chen.

"What's the inconvenience? I'm a eunuch and I'm used to living in the harem. There's nothing I can't say."

Long Chen intentionally hugged Xue Ling towards him, but Xue Ling did not resist and fell into Long Chen's arms.

This is actually very risky. If Xue Ling is the flower-picking devil, then his martial arts skills are by no means ordinary.

But Long Chen couldn't care so much, he had to control it first.

"Sir, this is where the second princess studies. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this."

Xue Ling had charming eyes and a soft body, and smiled shyly.

Long Chen smiled and said: "That's right, I don't do anything, I'm just talking."

The maids next to him were silent.

Xue Ling chuckled and said, "What do you want to say, sir?"

Long Chen hugged Xue Ling with one hand and stretched out the other hand to pull open Xue Ling's collar. He smiled and said: "I heard that you have embroidery on your body. Let me think about it..."

Bang!

Xue Ling suddenly burst into flames and struck Long Chen's heart with a palm. Long Chen's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He struck Xue Ling's palm with his left hand and both of them were knocked away at the same time.

Long Chen almost fell down, and Xue Ling's body flew out, smashing the window and letting in the howling cold wind.

The palace maid screamed in fright.

Long Chen stood up, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and rushed after him.

Xue Ling crashed out of the window and ran wildly through the snow with her bare feet, Long Chen chasing closely behind her.

"Come on! Catch the assassin!"

Long Chen shouted loudly.

The female guard in the palace heard the sound and quickly came over to check.

Seeing the female guard approaching, Xue Ling shouted: "Long Chengen is the flower-picking devil, save me!"

Rumors were so strong these days that many of the female guards believed the rumors. When Xue Ling interrupted them, they were not sure who was right and who was wrong.

With such a brief moment of hesitation, Xue Ling rushed to the front and struck out with two palms at the same time. The two female guards were knocked away by a careful palm and fell to the ground without moving.

After killing the female guard, Xue Ling was extremely flexible and managed to escape from the palace several times.

Long Chen flew up to the roof and looked around, but could no longer find any trace of Xue Ling.

This sudden movement was so loud that it alerted the imperial guards in the palace, and Yingfeng came over quickly.

"What's going on?"

"Xue Ling killed two maids and ran away!"

Long Chen squatted on the snow and looked at the two female guards who had fallen to the ground. Their bodies were already frozen.

"Sure enough, Xue Ling has practiced an evil skill that can freeze people's bodies."

Long Chen's left hand was also frozen just now, and the energy and blood in his body were not flowing naturally, so he didn't catch up.

"So, the murderer is Xue Ling?"

Yingfeng asked.

Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "But it's strange, Xue Ling is a woman, how could she ruin those women? Whose child is Ruyan's belly?"

There is definitely something wrong with Xue Ling, but things are even stranger.

"Control Li Tianze, I want to interrogate him!"

Long Chen asked Xiang Ning, Shuang Shuang and Xue Ling followed him all day long.

When he lived in the Criminal Department, Li Tianze didn't go out, but Xueling often came in and out to help him carry things.

There is something wrong with Xue Ling, and there is definitely something wrong with Li Tianze.
