Chapter 172 I will not let you die

Presumably the Imperial Master was waiting for him to come to his door and wanted to talk to him about something, but he didn't have the time.

Bai Mingyu climbed out of the window, and she quickly grabbed his hand: "Where are you going?"

"Investigating the case."

"Then be careful." Shen Zhiyue let go of her hand.

Shen Zhiyue had a very pleasant day. She calmed down and thought carefully about how she could get out of trouble. Apart from Bai Mingyu's rebellion, was there anything else she could do?

After he reminded her like this, she suddenly felt that this was also a solution. As long as the mastermind behind all these things was found and proved to have nothing to do with the wrath of the sky, she would not need to sacrifice to the sky.

Bai Mingyu looked around cautiously and disappeared into the night. Shen Zhiyue closed the window, and the wooden window fell on the platform and made a scratching sound, which disturbed the imperial guards at the door.

They immediately opened the door and came in. She put her hands on the window sill and looked at them: "What's wrong? I think the night is quite beautiful tonight."

The imperial guards thought she wanted to escape, and their words were threatening: "Mrs. Nan Wang, it is best to think twice before you act. If you escape, it will be the Nan Wang Mansion that will suffer."

If the people of the Imperial Palace and Nanwang Mansion could let her go, she could escape to the ends of the earth, but she should just stay there and suffer some physical pain in front of the sacrifice to heaven.

Shen Zhiyue sat back on the chair: "Escape, of course, is impossible. I am sleepy, you guys, get out quickly."

The imperial guards thought that nothing happened, so they went out and helped her close the door to her room. They could not afford to be charged with peeking at Mrs. Nan Wang.

Shen Zhiyue was lying on the bed, with her head facing the window where he left, hoping that Bai Mingyu would go well.

He dug into the soil with a shovel and pulled out the palace maid's body. Her lips were black and there were spots on her face.

Bai Mingyu pinched her lips open, stirred them with a silver needle, took out the silver needle, and it all turned black. He put the silver needle into a bamboo tube and began to further examine the body.

At dawn the next day, the palace maid came in with a basin. The process was exactly the same as yesterday. She held a pen in one hand and pressed her ears with the other to block out the sound of chanting.

But it didn't seem to have any special effect. Shen Zhiyue couldn't stand it: "Masters, does it require such a large group of people to chant sutras?"

I know that they are professional in reciting sutras, but they are also too tacitly understanding. When they start to recite, no one rushes to take pictures. It is neat and tidy, as if the sound is amplified, and the richness and superposition are really torturous.

They didn't stop because of her words. She threw the pen aside, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and saw people visiting for tea and snacks in the courtyard.

She walked over to eat and drink, then went back to copy scriptures for a while, ending her fast for the day.

Shen Zhiyue stretched and walked into the room, and asked someone to prepare bath water. She soaked in the water and moaned comfortably.

At this time, there was a movement at the window. She picked up her clothes and put them on, put her arms through her waist, and tied her belt.

Shen Zhiyue smelled the scent of sandalwood on his body and felt particularly reassured: "Bai Mingyu, how is the investigation of the case?"

"Waiting for news from Lao Ge." Bai Mingyu kissed her neck.

Shen Zhiyue tilted her neck intoxicated and responded to him. Bai Mingyu only tasted it briefly and put his arms around her waist.

"Yue'er, what if I can't find the murderer in these three days?"

"Then I will sacrifice to heaven, and you can marry someone else according to the concubine's wishes."

Bai Mingyu's lips were close to her ear, and the cold touch instantly numbed her whole body.

"If I can't save Yue'er, I'll let you go after I settle the matter with my father."

Shen Zhiyue was shocked, was he going to die for his love?! It was better to say goodbye, lest she go home and he really died.

"Bai Mingyu, it's better to die than to live. You know how many people in this world want to live a healthy life. You obviously have all the conditions, so why can't you think about it?"

Even Lao Ge couldn't detect the poison at once. He was a little panicked in his heart. He was so scared that he could only watch her sacrifice to the sky. As the god of war, he protected the people of the world, but he couldn't protect the person he wanted to protect the most. What's the point? It's better to just let her go. He can still protect her in hell.

When Shen Zhiyue saw that he didn't reply to her, she also panicked: "Bai Mingyu, did something happen that made you unsure?"

So it's not that easy to investigate this case, right?! She may still sacrifice to heaven in the end, and this time she is really going to die.

From the time she has been living in Tongzhen until now, after so many days, she feels that she has made money and found someone she likes. She feels that she has no regrets in this life.

She held his hand: "Bai Mingyu, don't go out to fight against the world. I know that your world is superstitious and believes in witches that will bring disaster to the country. I really don't care. As long as you are good, my trip will be worth it."

Shen Zhiyue smiled at him, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she knew her death date and was counting down every day. She was desperate but couldn't change it.

Bai Mingyu held her face, kissed her lips, and said lovingly: "I will not let you die."

Even if he has to contend with the whole world in the end, he will not hesitate to protect her.

At this time, the palace maid stood at the door and asked: "Mrs. Nanwang, do you need slave Qingshui?"

These people would come to ask her after a while to make sure that nothing happened to her inside. If she didn't answer, these people would rush in.

Shen Zhiyue pushed him to the window and motioned for him to leave quickly. She shouted towards the door: "Okay, come in."

When they came in, she was already lying on the bed. She watched them clear the water from the tub, and she turned over and turned her back to them.

On the last day of fasting, Shen Zhiyue was not as angry as the previous two days. Tomorrow she would sacrifice to heaven, and she knew she would die.

She sat blankly in the Buddhist hall, listening to the most annoying sound of chanting sutras, copying sutras all day long, without leaving even one step, until nightfall.

She returned to the room and waited for a long time before Bai Mingyu came. She thought there was no hope. She looked out the window at the night and couldn't help but shed tears.

I thought that after passing the test of Tongzhen, her life would not be short-lived, but I didn't expect that fate is not as good as fate.

Bai Minyu has been staying in Lao Ge's yard: "Is there any news about the poison?"

"This poison is very complicated. It has to be mixed with several medicinal ingredients. I always come close. Don't worry."

Bai Mingyu looked at him. They didn't need to be in a hurry, but Yue'er couldn't wait that long. She would officially sacrifice to heaven tomorrow.

"Lao Ge, do you really have no clues at all?"

The palace was not a place he could enter at any time. He could only wait until dark before going there. Many clues came from people's mouths.

Without the emperor's permission, this matter can only be investigated secretly, and the progress is very slow. We can only start with poison, but Lao Ge can't prepare either fish or poison.

Lao Ge understood that Shen Yatou's life was at stake, but this time they really met their opponent, and this poison was the most difficult level.
