This meant that Wanyan Lie knew about Baisu's identity.
Moreover, Lin Mengya had noticed that Baisu was different from the other guards.
It seemed that this little lass was hiding quite a few secrets on her.
"That's strange. Forget it. It's better for you to forget these unnecessary memories. There's something I haven't told you. That Master Sorcerer looks like — "
"Miss, Madam has summoned you for a meeting."
They looked at each other when they were interrupted. Baisu immediately opened the door and let the person in.
This time, it was an older aunt who served Madam.
"What's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"
Madam Jingrou not only had Ning Qiu, a loyal servant girl, but also many other aunts who had high status and were good at scheming.
However, Madam Jingrou had placed them in various places in the palace, and they were in charge of most of the important things in the palace.
She quietly controlled everything in the palace, so even if Yao Lu's sudden death and the disintegration of those concubines, the palace was not in a mess, which was enough to show that Madam's mind was not as calm as she looked.
Sometimes, even Lin Mengya felt that a man who could be with the king for such a long time was sometimes unfathomable to her.
"Okay, let's go."
She followed the aunt with Baisu, and the three of them walked out of Fengyu Garden.
But they were not going to the king's bedroom. Lin Mengya was suspicious, but she did not feel too uneasy because Baisu was by her side.
The three of them hurried to Linqiu Pavilion, where the king and the queen lived.
Before they entered the door, they saw many guards standing around.
The torches were burning, and it was as bright as day.
No, after Yao Lu left, there were only a few maids who guarded the empty palace.
What could have happened?
"Aunt, why did you come in person?"
When the three of them arrived at the gate of Linqiu Pavilion, someone came to greet them.
That person was wearing a dark red leather armor, and her hair was tied up in a high bun. She did not put on any makeup, but she looked very feminine.
Her almond-shaped eyes were as sharp as lightning, and her temperament was calm and reserved. She was not the slightest bit delicate like the other women in the palace.
It was only then that Lin Mengya realized that the guards were all tall and pretty women.
No wonder the surrounding palace maids and imperial concubines all stood not far away and pointed at the Lin Qiu Pavilion without hesitation.
"Commander Zhou, this is Miss He Lan, Miss Baisu, whom Madam mentioned before. The two of them are here to help you solve this case. "
Help? Zhou Ling frowned as he looked at the two delicate girls.
Could it be that Madam was in a desperate situation and was trying to find a doctor? That's why she let these two weak women come and cause trouble?
Zhou Ling cupped his fists and bowed before saying, "I, Zhou Ling, appreciate Madam's good intentions, but this case is bloody and strange. It's better for ordinary women not to participate, lest they disrupt our progress."
Was he being openly despised by her?
Lin Mengya, who was used to being recognized by others, was stunned. She looked at the female domain chief with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
The aunt wanted to say something, but Lin Mengya stopped her with her hand.
"Commander, you're right. We should be the ones who blindly participate in this case. But we have to obey Madam's orders. Please let us go in and have a look, so that we can give an excuse when we report to Madam. "
Lin Mengya smiled gently and pretended to be considerate and amiable.
Baisu cast a cold glance at the Dutong. She was very unhappy, but she kept calm because of her mistress.
In terms of martial arts, this commander was no match for her.
Zhou Ling thought about it and felt that Miss He Lan's words made sense.
He then stepped aside to let the two of them in.
"Aunt, please go back first. We'll report to Madam about this."
Lin Mengya nodded to the aunt who led the way and then followed Baisu into the courtyard of the Lin Qiu Pavilion.
If she knew that Madam had ordered them to take charge of the case and that Commander Zhou was to help, Zhou Ling would definitely try to test her.
Fortunately, in the aunt's eyes, Zhou Ling was more reliable than Lin Mengya, an outsider.
Otherwise, she would have to put in a lot of effort.
Stepping into the familiar courtyard, Lin Mengya smelled the bloody smell in the air even before she entered the inner courtyard.
Lin Mengya's sense of smell, which was more sensitive than a dog's nose, came into play. She sniffed the air hard and a puzzled look flashed across her eyes.
Why was there so many smells in this courtyard?
"Miss He Lan, is there anything wrong?"
Zhou Ling, who was leading the way, noticed that He Lan had stopped and looked confused. He thought that she was afraid.
Unexpectedly, the girl just shook her head slightly and whispered to Baisu, who was standing beside her.
The latter immediately walked out of the courtyard and went somewhere.
"What are you …"
Zhou Ling believed that she was the one who could control the whole situation here.
Whether it was the people sent by Madam or the king, none of them were as capable and familiar as she was.
But this Miss He Lan had given her a bad feeling from the very beginning.
She couldn't tell the reason. Maybe it was because she hated those weak women who liked to make their own decisions.
As a woman, she believed that self-respect and self-improvement were the foundation of a woman's life.
And her Feather Guards were the best proof.
"I left something in the palace, and I have to send it to Madam later. I'm afraid Madam will blame me if I'm late."
After coming to her senses, Lin Mengya put on a respectful and modest look.
In fact, she was a little curious about this female commander.
She had been in the palace for a long time, so of course she knew that there were powerful Feather Guards in the palace.
Moreover, they were all women, who were responsible for dealing with emergencies in the palace.
However, because the king and the queen didn't like them, they were always suppressed.
After Yao Lu's departure, the Feather Guards could enter the palace to carry out their original duties.
Although it was a little suspicious to steal the credit, the Feather Guards were very special, and their leader, Zhou Ling, was also a woman from an aristocratic family.
She could roll around in a group of men and develop her career under the pressure of the king and the queen. She was definitely not an idiot.
"That's good. Don't touch anything here. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself if I can't find the murderer."
Zhou Ling looked at Lin Mengya arrogantly, turned around, and continued to walk into the inner courtyard.
Lin Mengya followed behind her and entered the inner courtyard unhurriedly.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw four corpses lying on the ground, covered by white cloth.
She was shocked. "Could it be …"
Lin Mengya stepped forward quickly, and before Zhou Ling and his subordinates could stop her, Lin Mengya lifted the white cloth.
Sure enough, lying on the ground was the corpse of a woman. Her face was pale, and her expression was ferocious. She was drenched.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Ling frowned and wanted to grab Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya suddenly turned around, and there was a sharp and dignified look in her eyes.
"When did you find the corpses? Who was the first to find them? "
She spoke in a serious tone, as if she was the ruler.
Zhou Ling was stunned. She suppressed her anger and said coldly,
"This evening, someone came to change shift and found them."
"Where are they? Where are they now? "
Lin Mengya asked. Zhou Ling felt a little unhappy.
But because she was Madam's confidant, he had to answer.
"They were scared out of their wits, and have been sent back to rest. Miss He Lan, I think you'd better … "
Lin Mengya frowned and looked at the torches around her, and her expression became more and more serious.
"Sir, please ask your men to step back. It's better to take all the torches out of this courtyard. There's an unusual smell here. The pine oil smell of the torches is too strong, and it will soon destroy the original smell. "
Seeing Lin Mengya's rude orders, Zhou Ling also lost his temper.
"Miss, I've always been polite to you because I respected you because you were sent here by Madam herself. Do you think that you can boss me around just because you're so polite? Humph, apart from the smell of soil and blood after the rain, can you distinguish anything else in the air? "
Lin Mengya didn't have time to explain. She stood up from the ground and walked up to Zhou Ling with a serious look in her eyes.
"The first one on the left near the door, you like to comb your hair with osmanthus water. The one on her left has a sachet with six kinds of light fragrances. The first one on the right near the inner hall, your clothes are smelled of mugwort. Am I right? "
The Shen Nung system's ability to distinguish taste was abnormal. Not only could it distinguish different smells, but it could also directly list out the molecular formula of the fragrance factor.
Moreover, if Lin Mengya wanted, she could form a sample of all the smells she had smelled in her mind.
In the future, once she smelled the same smell, the sample would immediately pop up.
The few people who were named by her opened their eyes wide and looked at the woman in front of them.
How … did she know?
"Sir, you can ask them yourself whether I'm right or not. Now, please ask them to leave. If it's too late, we'll miss a very important clue. "
Although she felt a little embarrassed, Zhou Ling was much calmer than ordinary women.
She looked sullen. Even if she didn't ask for proof, the reaction of her men had already explained all the problems.
She waved her hand and her men went out with the torches.
The whole Linqiu Pavilion suddenly darkened, and the moonlight spread over the courtyard, covering it with a layer of white light.
Lin Mengya stared coldly at the woman standing next to the corpse. She closed her eyes and gently moved the tip of her nose, taking a deep breath of the air here.
