C18 Part3

....

Master Gu Huai asked Liu An.

Shen Zhiyan inspected the scene and walked up to the Crown Prince.

Half of his body was wet from the rain.

"The blood got mixed with the rain and faded.

It is no longer possible to tell whether it is human blood or dog blood or pig blood."

She nodded,

"This incident is unusual.

Like yesterday's Blood Jade from heaven, this Prince feels it was the doing of human beings."

At this time, the Palace people gathered under the east side corridor were whispering.

"This matter is too weird.

There was no Blood Rain in other Palaces, but only in His Majesty's QingYuan Hall."

"And yesterday's Blood Jade from Heaven in Fengtian Temple hasn't been cleared out yet.

An now an accident happened again this morning.

This time it's Blood Rain and it's so weird."

"Could it be a scourge?"

"Remember what was sung in that song?

The first two things have been fulfilled.

Will fish feeding on humans happen next?"

"I guess it might. I believe there's 80% of chances this will happen and someone will die."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to be heard by the Manager."

Liu An's gloomy gaze swept over, and the Palace men hurriedly shut up, not daring to discuss any more.

He asked the Regent:

"My lord, this matter..."

Murong Yu's eyes were dark,

"Tell the Palace people to clean the front of the hall."

Liu An got the order and went to order the Palace people.

Master Gu Huai pondered for a long while and said,

"My Lord, this morning the second thing in that song happened.

Could it really be related to that song?

Where did that song come from?"

Although he doesn't believe in strange powers, these two things are too coincidental.

Murong Ci asked:

"Did you investigate the missing people or dead ones in the Palace?"

"This minister ordered his subordinates to investigate.

According to reports, no one in the Palace is missing or dead."

He frowned and replied.

"No one in the Palace is missing or dead.

That is to say, the blood used in these two cases did not come from the Palace."

Shen Zhiyan said.

"Master Gu, find out the truth as soon as possible."

The world around him was wet and gray, and Murong Yu's pupils were dark and shiny, as if he was the only one awake.

"These Officials obey the orders."

Master Gu Huai bowed to salute, and his heart began to worry.

This blood rain matter was not a good sign at all, and of all places it had happened in the Emperor's QingYuan Hall Palace.

The incident was not trivial.

It was even more shocking than the blood jade from the previous day.

'Just imagine, if the blood rain of His Highness Qingyuan Hall was man-made...

Then, it would mean the perpetrators had easy access to entering and exiting the Palace and His Majesty's Qingyuan Hall without anyone noticing them! It's a great matter of security!'

'Wouldn't it be easy for them to murder His Majesty if they wanted?'

Therefore, the safety of His Majesty had become a sharp sword hanging in the hearts of everyone.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he was.

While thinking so, he saw that the Prince Regent negotiated with the commander of the imperial guard in a low voice to deploy the patrol of the Palace and Qingyuan Hall Palace.

The rain stopped, and everyone dispersed.

Murong Ci resigned to see his father, and said goodbye after a few words.

As soon as she stepped out of the hall, she heard footsteps behind, a familiar footstep.

"Your Highness, let's have a walk and talk."

Murong Yu said in a low voice.

"Can't you talk about it here?"

She raised her eyes to look at him, discarding the confused thoughts.

He walked directly to the east hallway, and she had to follow.

His black hair was stained with a drop or two of tiny crystal water, and his handsome face was exceptionally cold.

"Have you found anything?"

His voice was cool.

"I haven't found it yet."

Murong Ci said indifferently.

After being washed by the rain, the green leaves were bright and fresh, and the delicate flowers were still swaying in the wind.

Drops of rain fell intermittently on the eaves of the Palace, like a broken pearl.

Murong Yu turned to look at her, with his eyes clear,

"Your Royal Highness had better not go out these days and stay in the East Palace.

Please rest assured that this King has ordered the Imperial Guards to increase the defense of the Qingyuan Palace and patrol the Palace.

We'll make sure His Majesty is safe and sound."
