Chapter 326 Hope is Broken

Mu Yun was just a few steps away, across the door of the inner hall.

Jun Jiuning took that step with a heavy heart. When he raised his eyes and swept over, he found Mu Yun looking outside in a daze.

The snow had stopped at this time.

Mu Yun looked over lightly, and Jun Jiuning straightened his waist calmly without revealing any flaws.

Mu Yun spoke first: "The princess still has Qiu Shuizhi in her hand?"

Jun Jiuning paused, feeling horrified: How could he know what she had deceived Jun Yuanxi just now?

There are people from Mu Yun in Zhengtai Hall!

Jun Jiuning suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

She looked at Mu Yun vigilantly and did not answer his words.

If Tao Ran took Qiu Shuizhi from her and handed it to Mu Yun, then Mu Yun would definitely be able to tell the truth.

Then the reason why he asked was just two kinds of questions: one was that Tao Ran had not given Qiu Shuizhi to Mu Yun yet. Qiu Shuizhi should still be hidden somewhere in Xie’s mansion.

The second is that Mu Yun guessed that she had other Qiu Shuizhi in her hand, but Qiu Shuizhi was only in the Xia Kingdom in this world, so... Mu Yun must have learned some news from some channels, so he guessed that she had Qiu Shuizhi in her hand.

Only the Xia royal family is qualified to use Qiu Shuizhi. The only person who can arouse Mu Yun’s guess is - Feng Dongling!

Jun Jiuning's mind was spinning quickly at this moment, searching for her memories of Feng Dongling after leaving Xia Kingdom: the two seemed to have no intersection, if they really wanted to say...

Only when she was born on the previous day, Jun Qingli told her that many people had sent gifts from all over the world, so there must be one of Feng Dongling!

But at that time she sneaked into the palace, and those things were sealed in the warehouse of Ningxiang Palace by Jun Qingli. Jun Jiuning never thought about taking them apart and taking a look. At this time, she thought: Could it be Qiu Shuizhi there?!

Mu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up as Jun Jiuning's eyes looked at him strangely.

At this moment, he actually subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to touch his face to see if there was something dirty, so that Jun Jiuning suddenly looked at him with such strange eyes.

But after his hands were raised to his chest, Mu Yun reacted and quickly clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly, covering up his disobedience just now.

Then he watched Jun Jiuning suddenly missed him and walked out of Zhengtai Hall.

Mu Yun:?

Why is this?!

He didn't know that his question had been misunderstood by Jun Jiuning, and the original intention of his question was just to test the other party.

After all, he did recognize whether the Qiushuizhi that Tao Ran gave him was true or false.

But Jun Jiuning's reaction... Mu Yun was a little confused and could only watch the other party leave.

What exactly is she going to do? Shouldn’t she talk to him about the poison on Emperor Wen at this time?

Mu Yun took two steps forward and glanced at the guards standing at the door.

One of the tall and thin men understood the meaning of this look, quietly retreated, and hurriedly went out from the side door of Zhengtai Hall to follow Jun Jiuning's figure.

Jun Jiuning headed straight to Ningxiang Palace.

The Ningxiang Palace was closely guarded, so the man could not continue to follow, so he had to give up.

If it were on weekdays, Jun Jiuning had always been alert and would definitely find that someone was following him.

But she was too anxious this day and was only concerned about rushing to the road. She didn't notice the guard who had taken out of the Zhengtai Palace, which directly caused her to lay a hidden danger for herself and missed the opportunity to find Mu Yun's eyeliner.

Jun Jiuning returned to Ningxiang Palace and went straight to the warehouse. He also ordered Qiuyue to send someone to tell Xie Jinyu, asking him to take someone to search the Xie Mansion and see if he could find clues left by Tao Ran.

There were indeed many exquisite boxes piled up in the warehouse, including those sent by Feng Dongling, those sent by Qin Yizhou, Mo Qingzhu, and even those sent by Prince Yan.

Jun Jiuning searched through the whole process and opened the box delivered by Feng Dongling first.

But there are all beads and jades in it. It looks quite expensive, but how can you see the shadow of Qiu Shuizhi?

Jun Jiuning rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "How could it not be?"

As he said that, he leaned over and started to search, wishing he could stuff his whole body into the box.

Qiuyue came back from sending the message and saw that Jun Jiuning was struggling, she wanted to help: "What is the princess looking for? I will help you find it together?"

Jun Jiuning raised his head and said in a hurry: "Qiuyue, has anyone touched these boxes?"

Qiuyue shook her head in confusion: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has never allowed others to enter the Ningxiang Hall, let alone this warehouse. Moreover, the keys to the warehouse have always been under the control of the slaves, and no one can get in."

"That's strange." Jun Jiuning murmured, "Did I misunderstand what he meant?"

Jun Jiuning and Mu Yun are used to fighting wits and courage. They have to toss and chew in their stomachs eighteen times, analyze all the meanings of what is true or false, and then choose the most likely one to understand.

Over-interpretation is a common thing, but Jun Jiuning himself has never noticed it.

It was very embarrassing now. She left Mu Yun in Zhengtai Hall, but she came back to look for something but couldn't find it.

The last glimmer of hope is entrusted to Xie Jinyu, I hope to discover a miracle in Xie’s mansion...

But the reason why miracles are called miracles is that they always happen unexpectedly, not in the expectations of others.

Wen Fei and Yunhe, who had been in the Xie Mansion for a day, returned the palace and brought back the message: "After receiving the princess' order, General Xie was almost dug three feet into the ground in Xie Mansion, but Qiu Shuizhi was not found."

Jun Jiuning said "ah" in disappointment, and struggled unwillingly: "After all, I have been looking for it for an afternoon, why don't you try again?"

Wen Fei was also the one who escorted Qiu Shuizhi, and he knew this thing better: "Princess, you should know that Qiu Shuizhi must be packed in a jade box. The thing is fragile and cannot be frozen or roasted. There are not many places to hide in Xie Mansion. And even if it is packed in a jade box, Qiu Shuizhi is always outstanding. As long as it gets close, you will always smell some different smells. But we searched in Xie Mansion several times, but there was no trace."

Jun Jiuning sighed disappointed: "It turns out that it's just a solitary joy, so do I still have to ask Mu Yun for him?!"

She is really annoying!

Wen Fei narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't he being held in the palace by the princess now?"

Jun Jiuning looked at him, as if he could read some murderous aura from the other party's expression. Jun Jiuning thought to himself: The young man's idea is very dangerous! If he could solve it so easily, how could he be the male protagonist of the unification of the seven kingdoms?

Alas, wait, the male lead...

Jun Jiuning suddenly thought of a solution: the male protagonist is not completely without weaknesses!

Feng Yunxi was no longer expected, but she remembered that Mu Yun had been searching for something related to a Master Eagle before, as if to seek the truth.
