The next morning, Ning Ling and Luo Yue accompanied Lian Xing to the palace of Ning Concubine and Rou Concubine, but got the same answer. Both empresses said that they did not ask the palace maids to find someone to serve them. Think about it, they had the palace maids and eunuchs around them, so how could they find low-level slaves to help?

"What's going on?" Lian Xing shouted as soon as he stepped out of Concubine Rou's palace. Neither Concubine Rou nor the people in Concubine Ning's palace had seen her, but she clearly remembered that she came to the palace of one of the two concubines yesterday.

Ning Ling observed her calmly. Her expression was not as fake. So, her previous guess was correct. She was tampered with her memory, and the two people who claimed to be the palace maids around Ning and Rou Concubine were also fake. The purpose was to separate her and Yan'er and attack Yan'er alone. However, what she couldn't understand was why the murderer only attacked Yan'er but let her go. The previous one was also, only attacked one of them, but let her companion go.

"Lixing, are you from Xixia?" she asked suddenly.

Lianxing was quite surprised by her question, but she still replied: "Yes, I am from Xixia."

"What about Yan'er? Is she from Xixia too?"

"No, she is a Han Chinese!" Lian Xing thought for a while, "I heard that her parents fled to Xixia and then took root here. What does it matter?"

"It's not certain yet." Ning Ling frowned and thought for a while, "We have to find out if all the victims before were Han people?" If so, the murderer was targeting Han people, so that the other party's motives would be better understood.

"I can help you ask, there are several missing palace maids among them, some of my companions know each other." Lian Xing pondered for a moment.

"I'm in trouble." Ning Ling nodded.

The three of them said as they walked. When they passed a garden, Lian Xing suddenly stopped and sniffed his nose hard, "Did you smell it? There is a smell of blood!"

Ning Ling and Luo Yue sniffed hard and shook their heads blankly: "No, have you smelled wrong?"

"Impossible, my family makes spices. I have been particularly sensitive to various smells since I was a child. The smell is..." She reached out and pointed to the yard, "It floated out from it." As she said that, she rushed into the yard with a quick step. Ning Ling and Luo Yue followed her in. Because they were a few steps late, they found that it was a peach blossom forest. Pink peach blossoms bloomed on the branches, emitting a burst of fragrance, but there was no sign of Lian Xing who had come in earlier.

Just as the two were about to look for it separately, a shrill scream pierced the sky.

"ah…….."

"On there!" Ning Ling and Luo Yue hurriedly followed the sound, ran not far away, and saw Lian Xing lying in front of a well.

Luo Yue took a few steps forward, explored her breath, and looked at Ning Ling: "She just fainted!" As she said that, she pinched her fingers into the other person.

After a while, Lian Xing woke up slowly, but his face was pale and his eyes were distracted. No matter how Ning Ling and Luo Yue asked her, she kept silent.

"What should I do?" Luo Yue looked at Ning Ling. Seeing Lian Xing's appearance, she was obviously extremely frightened. She would definitely not be able to ask anything from her, at least she would definitely not be able to ask before she recovered.

Ning Ling looked at the well thoughtfully. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rushing footsteps around him. It must have been Lian Xing's scream that attracted the people who were enjoying the flowers in the pavilion in the distance.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Everyone asked in a verbal way, Lian Xing still said nothing, his eyes were dull. Ning Ling had to answer for her, "We just passed by this. Lian Xing said that she smelled the smell of blood and ran in. When we found her, she was already like this."

"The smell of blood?" Someone sniffed hard. Indeed, the faint fragrance of flowers in the air just now was covered by a strange smell. The smell made people feel uncomfortable and indescribable.
