    Murong Ci briefly explained the matter, and Shen Zhiyan immediately guessed His Highness's intention, "Your Highness wants to go to the mass grave?"

    Qin Ruo thought that His Highness just came to discuss with Shen Zhiyan, but she didn't expect it to be like this.  She quickly said: "Your Highness, it's late at night and it's not good to go to the mass grave."

    Murong Ci ignored her and said enthusiastically, "Let's go find those two corpses."

    ¡°When there are new clues and breakthroughs, of course we have to investigate.  It was too late for Shen Zhiyan to be happy, so how could he refuse?

    How can His Highness go to a dirty and evil place like a mass grave with his rich body?  What should I do if I encounter some evil spirit?

    "Don't try to persuade me, I have already made up my mind." Murong Ci said firmly.

    "Your Highness" Qin Ruo wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Shen Zhiyan.

    "Don't worry, I will protect His Highness." Shen Zhiyan knew very well that His Highness always meant what he said.

    "Qin Ruo, Ruyi is alone in the East Palace. I am worried. When you go back, pretend that I am sleeping. Just as you have done in the past, you will do it tonight, you know?" Murong Ci warned, patting Qin Ruo's shoulder, "Later.  You ride back."

    Qin Ruo was about to speak but stopped, but with Shen Zhiyan accompanying His Highness, everything should be fine.

    Shen Zhiyan went back to change his clothes, took out an exquisite rosewood box, and then galloped towards the mass grave.

    The mass grave was located ten miles outside the north gate. The palace servants dragged the corpse out of the palace, then took it to the mass grave on an ox cart and threw it away.  At this time, the northern city gate has been closed, but he has the Dali Temple token, so he can investigate the murder case without delay, and the journey will be smooth.

    The dark blue night spreads out like the finest brocade, with a few sparse stars emitting bright light. The bright moon casts a hazy veil over the summer night.

    The barking of dogs could be heard in the distance and the chirping of birds added to the stillness.

    Arriving at the mass grave, Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan tied their horses to a tree.

    There are several trees nearby, with lush foliage in summer. The night wind makes a rustling sound like the sighs of ghosts.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????: The uneven mass graves at night look like a tomb that has been silent for thousands of years. It is gloomy, eerie, shrouded in blue light and mist, and creepy.  Two crows suddenly fluttered and flew, quacking.

    Shen Zhiyan is a brave and talented person who keeps company with dead bodies. Cemeteries and mass graves are like his home. He is a little excited and full of energy.  Because he felt that the two people who died in Chunwu Courtyard might be the breakthrough of what happened in the past few days.

    Murong Ci has always prided himself on being brave and careful, but when he saw the scene of numerous corpses for the first time, his scalp was still numb and he hesitated to move forward.

    The air was filled with the strong smell of rotting corpses. It was the smell of death and hell.

    He opened the small box and took out two cloth towels, "These are specially made by me. If you soak them in the secret potion for three days and three nights, you will be fine digging graves, examining corpses, and disemboweling corpses. Your Highness, please wear them too."

    She took it and smelled the smell of ginger and vinegar, "Why does it smell like ginger and vinegar?"

    ¡°My secret recipe contains ginger vinegar and several medicinal materials.¡±

    With that said, Shen Zhiyan covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and put on his thin gloves, "Your Highness, you stay here and wait for me."

    Since you are here, you will risk everything. Murong Ci said: "I will look for you together. This will be faster."

    "Then please be careful, Your Highness."

    He picked up a thicker branch and handed it to her, "Your Highness, remember not to touch it with your hands."

    She nodded and saw him walking towards the mass grave by a familiar route.

    Fortunately, there is moonlight tonight, and the moonlight pours out like mercury, but it is not beautiful at all. What lights up are the glistening white bones and the rotting, disgusting bones.

    She poked here and there with the branches, almost fainting from the putrid smell of the corpse.

    "ah¡ª¡ª"

    Hearing His Highness¡¯s exclamation, Shen Zhiyan ran over to him reflexively and asked in panic: ¡°Your Highness, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    To be honest, when he heard His Highness¡¯s cry, he was frightened out of his wits.

    Murong Ci bared his teeth and was about to cry in fear, "It seems there is something tripping my feet is it a ghost hand?"

    He bent down to look, shook his head and smiled, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, it's just a grass root."

    She breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt embarrassed, "Am I too timid?"

    ¡°It¡¯s the first time for Your Highness to come to a place like this, so naturally you will feel a little bit The first time I went to dig a grave, I was also scared out of my mind.¡±

    ?information.

    Qin Ruo waved her sleeves vigorously, but it couldn't be dispersed at all, as if the air here was so filthy and dirty.

    In desperation, she took out the silk handkerchief and handed it to His Highness, asking him to cover his mouth and nose.

    "No need."

    Murong Ci walked slowly in, and was faced with a wide hall. It was in disrepair, with mottled traces of wind, rain, and age corrosion everywhere, and was covered with spider webs.  Yet this hall is a refuge for those inside, a place where they gather together every day.

    The porch was full of people, all seeming to be enjoying the shade.

    Those women, old or young, were wearing dirty, shabby clothes, with unkempt hair and dirty faces. It was estimated that several layers of mud could be rubbed off their faces, obscuring their original appearance.  Some people's faces and hands were covered with pimples and sores, which made them sick; some people kept scratching and their bodies were covered with lice; some people slapped a cockroach to death and put it in their mouths.

    Qinruo felt her stomach churning violently, and frowned: "Your Highness, why don't you go out first."

    Murong Ci¡¯s face turned pale, and his internal organs were turbulent, as if there was a stream of acid eager to rush out.  However, she restrained herself.

    This is hell.

    The people here can be said to no longer exist in this world.  They have no hope, no light, and no future; they live with lice and flies all day long, without enough food and clothing, like walking corpses; they only have darkness, only diseases, and endless despair; they are forgotten by the world, not even a particle of dust.  On the contrary, even using words like despicable on them is a luxury.

    Their eyes are empty and scattered, their faces are devastated, and their shabby clothes are like shrouds, about to wrap them into the abyss of darkness.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
