Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

Although the meeting time agreed with Su Qingying was in the evening, Ning Zimo came to Ye Fan at noon.

"Ye Fan, do you still remember the blood-sucking monster you mentioned before?"

"I have done some research recently. Wei Xian gave me a task before. He asked me to marry a fat man who weighs more than 700 pounds and can't even leave the house..."

Before Ning Zimo finished speaking, Liu Mengying took over the conversation, "Sister Ning, isn't it more than 500 pounds?"

"Uh... that guy has gained a lot of weight recently!"

After these words were spoken, Liu Mengying and Ye Fan were speechless.

"I checked. All the sisters who had carried out similar missions before are missing... They all disappeared after investigating near the palace... To be precise, it was the Danshu Building in the palace, where Xie Zhong lived..."

"From their investigations before they died, it seems likely that they found someone or something related to the blood-sucking monster... But at that time, the blood-sucking monster had not yet caused panic among the people of the capital, and even few people knew about it..."

"I speculate that the blood-sucking monster... I mean the real blood-sucking monster may be related to Xie Zhong..."

At the end of his speech, Ning Zimo frowned tightly.

"So... the blood-sucking monster that was killed in the Mingyuan College trial forest... was just pushed out to take the blame..."

"And Xie Zhong hid his tracks and did not show up immediately... in order to confirm that the 'blood-sucking monster' had been killed..."

Ye Fan thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"It is indeed possible..."

Ning Zimo nodded, "By the way, Ye Fan, what did the seven-colored conch say to you during the banquet at the Linde Hall of the Imperial Palace?"

"Uh... that should be the sound of the wind. There is a hole at the tip of the colorful conch's tail. When the wind blows, it produces a sound. Plus, the conch's structure has an amplifying effect, so it might sound like the colorful conch said something to me, but it didn't... How could that thing really speak..."

Ye Fan spread his hands.

"Zi Mo, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm not going to meet Su Qingying without any preparation!"

After a pause, Ye Fan spoke again. He was quite nervous when he found Ning Zimo coming, and his words were a bit chaotic...

"I... Ye Fan, it doesn't matter if you don't go!"

"Even Princess Yuan Zheng couldn't invite you, so it's normal for me to fail!"

Ning Zimo was very worried, after all, Su Qingying almost killed Ye Fan before.

"I didn't go to see Su Qingying just because of you. I had my own considerations! To be honest, I was thinking about how to meet that woman safely!"

Ye Fan gave Ning Zimo a comforting look.

“Okay… okay!”

...........

The night falls,

Ye Fan and Ning Zimo, dressed in nightgown, came to the shadow of a tree outside the palace that was so big that even a dozen people holding hands could not wrap around it.

"Ye... Ye Fan, you really don't have to go... It doesn't matter if you don't go..."

Ning Zimo glanced in the direction of the imperial palace and spoke in a low voice, her eyes showing obvious worry and confusion.

"It's okay! I'm still capable!"

Ye Fan exhaled lightly, looking quite confident.

"You are here!"

At this time, a young female voice sounded, and as soon as the voice fell, a young woman with a beautiful face, graceful figure, and also wearing a nightgown appeared in the sight of Ye Fan and Ning Zimo. It was Yu Youwei.

"How did this woman get here? Or was she here before?"

Ye Fan glanced at the shadow of the big tree that suddenly appeared behind Yu Youwei, and thought secretly in his heart, because in the previous moment, the shadow next to the big tree was slightly twisted. Although it was only for a moment, he still noticed it.

"Princess, I've brought the person here!"

Ning Zimo said to Yu Youwei, then turned to look at Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, be careful on your way!"

As he spoke, Ning Zimo strode out of the big tree. After taking two steps, Ning Zimo's figure disappeared abruptly, as if he had never appeared.

"Is this... a stealth suit?"

It was not the first time that Ye Fan saw Ning Zimo suddenly appear and disappear, but the distance was relatively far before, or Ning Zimo's sudden appearance or disappearance was blocked by something. Now looking at it from a close distance, he immediately discovered that the shadow of the tree was slightly twisted when Ning Zimo's figure disappeared.

Ye Fan couldn't help but think of the scene where Yu Youwei had just appeared.

"Yu Youwei also has a cloak of invisibility on her... She suddenly appeared just now, but I didn't notice her. Is that why..."

While Ye Fan was thinking, Yu Youwei put her hand on the tree and whispered, "Ye Fan, come over here and put your hand on this tree!"

Ye Fan walked to the side of the tree and placed his hands on it in the same way as Yu Youwei did. The next moment, he felt a suction force coming from the front of the tree, sucking him in instantly...

"Buzz!"

Ye Fan only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and then he came to a place that was overgrown with weeds, piled with rocks, and covered with funeral paper money.

"Oh my god...it's the cold palace!"

Seeing the palace emitting dim light in front of him, Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself, because that palace was exactly the cold palace he had been to before.

Immediately, Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Yu Youwei, "Did that big tree just now... set up a teleportation array?"

"Ok!"

Yu Youwei nodded slightly, "Ye Fan, let's go, Qingying is waiting for you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Youwei led the way ahead.

...........

The huge palace was still as empty and cold as Ye Fan had seen it last time, and the light was quite dim, with only a few scattered black stone lamps. The white cloth strips hanging from the beams kept fluttering in the cold wind, and the dim light and shadows made the whole palace look more like a haunted house.

Under the guidance of Yu Youwei, Ye Fan came to a room with a small charcoal brazier. The temperature here was slightly higher than outside, but also limited.

"Ok?"

Ye Fan's eyes swept across the room and soon landed on the dressing table in the room, because there were several blood-red pills of different sizes on it, which were the Wei Ning Yuan Xin Pills.

"This Micro-Condensing Heart-Assisting Pill... Yan Buwen wanted it before... He never said who needed to take it... It turned out to be Su Qingying!"

Looking at the red pill on the dressing table, Ye Fan's previous guess was confirmed.

What surprised Ye Fan was that although there was a dressing table in this room, there was no stove... pots, pans, and other things. It looked more like a kitchen than a dressing room... and both the stove and the pots, pans, and other things looked like they had not been used for a long time, but they looked quite new...

"You came!"

When Ye Fan was wondering, a clear female voice sounded from behind him.

He turned his head and found that there was a young woman standing not far behind him. She was wearing plain white clothes, had delicate features, graceful curves, no makeup, and slightly messy hair. She was Su Qingying who had asked him to come tonight.
