The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 318 The Heiresses (Fourteen) (Second Change)

"Who is coming? Sign up to come!"

Outside the Palace of the Seventh Queen, a row of female soldiers saw Lin Shu and the Eighth Queen approaching, and immediately raised their spears to block their way.

These people are the personal guards of the second princess, they have been trained in the mansion all the year round, and they don't know the two princesses in front of them.

The Eighth Princess was anxious to enter the palace. When she saw that her way forward was blocked, her eyebrows immediately stood up. She was about to have a seizure, but Lin Shu reached out to stop her.

"I trouble you to go in and report to the adult who is in charge of investigating the case. Just say that the fourth and eighth princesses have come to the house and have something to visit."

Fourth princess and eighth princess?
The female guards did not dare to be negligent when they heard the words, and immediately sent a person into the mansion to report.

The eighth princess looked at Lin Shu in confusion, "Sister Sihuang, when is this?"

"We can just break in. Why do you need someone to pass the news? Isn't this a waste of time!"

However, Lin Shu didn't think so.

"Little Ba, it's an eventful time right now. It's better to have one more thing than one less thing. Besides, the person who is in charge of investigating the case is probably one of your imperial sisters. Since we came here uninvited, let It’s not a big deal if people pass it on.”

While the two were talking, the four female guards who were in charge of protecting Lin Shu also ran over and stood behind Lin Shu again.

Not long after, the female soldier who had just gone in to pass the pass came out jogging all the way.

As soon as she came out, she hurriedly bowed respectfully to Lin Shu and the eighth princess, "Your Highness, my Second Highness is conducting a search in the mansion, and I don't have time to come out to meet the second Highness. If you two want to enter the mansion, please follow along." I'm coming!"

Second Highness?
After hearing the title of the female guard, Lin Shu and the eighth princess looked at each other.

It seems that the person who is in charge of investigating the case of the Seventh Princess this time is the eldest among the Second Princess.

Led by the female guards, Lin Shu and the eighth princess walked through a garden, walked through several garden paths, and were brought to the place where the second princess was after a short while.

This place is obviously a small courtyard for people to live in. Outside the house are several flower gardens of various colors that have been carefully cared for.

Clumps of beautiful petals blooming in the morning, with transparent dewdrops at this time, look very delicate and charming.

It's a pity that among the people walking around here, no one has the time to stop and appreciate their beauty.

The eighth princess recognized at a glance that this was a small courtyard where she often came to, and it was also a small courtyard where her seventh sister often lived.

At this time, the only house in the yard was already guarded by a dozen or so female guards.

In the yard outside, there are six female guards patrolling back and forth here, and no outsiders are allowed to approach.

The female guard who brought Lin Shu and the eighth princess to this place stepped forward and reported to the commander stationed here, "Return to Lord Ling, the little one has been ordered to bring the fourth and eighth princesses here. These two are right behind me."

The dark-complexioned and hulking Master Ling took a look at Lin Shu and the two after hearing his subordinate's report.

Thinking of their identities as imperial daughters, she bowed her hands to them before saying, "Please wait here for a moment, please allow the officials to go in and report to my royal highness."

When the eighth princess saw the heavily guarded surroundings, she had to suppress the idea of ​​rushing into the house.

Lin Shu, who was standing beside her, had already checked the layout of the courtyard calmly.

The small courtyard has no outer walls, and is connected to the surrounding lotus ponds, pebble paths, and side corridors.

This means that anyone who wants to get in and out of here is very easy and will not encounter any obstacles.

Lin Shu glanced at the blooming flowers in the flowerbed in front of her. The focus of her eyes was constantly jumping among the flowers, looking for any suspicious signs.

Among them, two sunflowers purchased from Xiyun Country in the south attracted her attention.

This kind of flower can grow to a height of one or two meters. Generally, a flower has only one main stem, and wide leaves grow regularly on both sides of the branch.

At this time, the long rhizomes of the two flowers became a little skewed, as if someone had pushed them to one side, and the leaves were tilted to the right.

Just as Lin Shu was about to step forward to check the two sunflowers, a woman in a dark purple robe came out of the room.

In the next life, he will have a full heavenly palace and a clear face. At first glance, he will be an honest, kind and stable person.

It's just that at this moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, and the word "Chuan" was twisted between her brows, clearly she was worried about something.

This person is the eldest daughter of the current empress, that is, the Second Empress Highness who was born by the emperor's father.

Seeing the second princess coming out of the house, Lin Shu and the eighth princess called each other "Second Sister" as a courtesy.

The second princess, who was worrying about what happened to the Seventh Sister, raised her head and saw Lin Shu standing in front of her.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, and asked in a rather helpless tone, "Sister Four, Sister Eight, why did you two come to the door at this time?"

Seeing her coming out, the eighth princess couldn't hold back and quickly walked up to the latter.

"Second Sister, where is Seventh Sister now? I want to see her again!"

The second princess did not expect that when her eighth sister came up, she would ask about the whereabouts of the seventh sister.

She paused for a moment and then said slowly, "If you want to see the Seventh Emperor's Sister, you are a step too late. Someone came from the palace just now, and they took away the Seventh Emperor's sister not long ago. At this moment, People may have entered the cemetery of our royal family."

"what?!"

The eighth princess was shocked when she heard this.

She asked in disbelief, "But sister Seventh Emperor, didn't she just have an accident last night? Why did she rush to be buried today? This, this matter is unreasonable!"

"I don't know the reason for this matter. But the people in the palace are holding the emperor's imperial decree, and I can't stop them at all."

The second princess couldn't help but sigh when she said this.

Obviously, she is powerless to stop those who hold the Queen's decree.

Even she was able to come here to investigate the cause of the death of the Seventh Emperor Sister, because of the oral order of the Queen Mother.

The Seventh Sister who knew her was no longer here, and she didn't even see her for the last time, so the Eighth Emperor's expression became dazed.

But suddenly, she remembered an extremely important matter.

She stretched out her hand to grab the sleeve of the Second Emperor and asked, "The Second Emperor, have you found out? How did the Seventh Emperor die? She didn't commit suicide, right? Did someone intentionally kill her?" ,Yes or no?!"

When the eighth prince held the second prince and asked these words repeatedly, Lin Shu had already walked around the small flower garden slowly.

During the period, she successfully walked up to the two sunflowers, and looked under the two flowers without leaving any traces from the corners of her eyes.

The color of the soil under the flower plant is a bit inconsistent with the surrounding ones, as if the nearby soil layer has been turned over.

Lin Shu took this abnormality into her eyes, and walked up to the second princess calmly.
