But there were only five dormitories in this courtyard, three of which were occupied by the guards, one by the maidservants, and one by her.

If you want to find other meditation rooms, you need to walk for half an hour to the west courtyard.

It wasn't a big deal originally, but it was snowing hard outside.

Even a strong adult man would find it difficult to move in such bad weather and it would be easy to get lost in the mountains and forests.

"There is still a place to stay in the courtyard. We can spend the night there."

Jun Zhao looked calm and indifferent, as if he had accepted the fact that his room had been occupied by someone.

In the courtyard?

Mu Luan was speechless for a long while.

The courtyard he was talking about was just an open-air pavilion. It was so cold, and if you spent a night there, you would either die or get seriously ill.

Jun Zhao packed his bag without hesitation and bowed to Mu Luan, saying, "Excuse me, my dear."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Mu Luan frowned.

If he was as tyrannical and overbearing as he was in his previous life and drove her away, she would feel better.

Now this polite and respectful tone made him look like a bad guy.

No matter how much I resented Jun Zhao, I couldn't just watch him die.

Just as Jun Zhao turned around, Mu Luan called him in time: "Wait."

"You can rest on this small couch tonight, and I'll find someone to arrange accommodation for you tomorrow."

Jun Zhao looked out the window at the dark night sky, then turned back and asked, "Why are you so kind to me, my lord?"

Okay?

She occupied his room, leaving him nowhere to hide on snowy nights, and he actually thought this was good for him?

Is this a fever, or is it really stupid?

Mu Luan said angrily: "I'm not being nice to you, this room originally belongs to you."

"Why did you save me in Youming Inn?" the man asked stubbornly, with a glimmer of light rising in his eyes.

She thought the matter was over, but why hasn't it been resolved yet in his case?

"I didn't save you. I just happened to meet him at that time. The way they tortured people was too cruel. Even if it wasn't you, I would have saved him."

Mu Luan turned away with a guilty look and didn't look at him.

The light in the man's dark eyes gradually faded, like the darkness of night, unfathomable.

The room was silent for a moment, and for a while the only sound could be heard was the howling of the wind and snow outside.

Mu Luan ignored the man and went into the inner room.

Jun Zhao suddenly asked, "Are you looking for the Black Corpse Pill?"

Mu Luan paused and suddenly looked at the man, with annoyance that could not be hidden in her eyes.

"I just saw the letter by accident. It was my fault." Jun Zhao realized that she was angry. He glanced at her and then quickly lowered his eyes.

Mu Luan was annoyed that he read the contents of the letter, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Just seeing him being so cautious still made me feel strange and uncomfortable.

She pretended to be suspicious and asked, "Do you know the Black Corpse Pill?"

Jun Zhao nodded hesitantly and said, "I know."

Mu Luan returned to the inner room and took out a purse, which contained a pill wrapped in a white cloth.

"But this?"

Jun Zhao did not take the white handkerchief, but instead pinched the black pill with his slender fingers.

I recognized it at a glance; it was the Black Corpse Pill.

Mu Luan was shocked, but then she realized that Jun Zhao was not afraid of the medicine, otherwise he would not have poured a whole bottle of granules into his hands to play with them in his previous life.

Jun Zhao said: "The Black Corpse Pill is only sold on the black market. Did you buy it from the black market?"

Mu Luan denied, "As you can see on the letter, it was obtained from a servant named Qiao Yuanan."

Jun Zhao frowned slightly, "Servant? As far as I know, the price of Black Corpse Pill is very high, it is not something a servant can easily get."

Mu Luan said solemnly, "The servant's identity is suspicious, so I want to investigate the matter of the Black Corpse Pill."

Jun Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "The Black Corpse Pill is a poisonous insect. The insect lives in the human body and can drink blood and eat flesh to confuse people's minds. One pill can kill people without them even noticing."

"Killing without being seen?"

Mu Luan remembered that in his previous life, after Cao Mang was fed this poison, his death was extremely ugly, which did not seem like the poison that could kill people without them being seen.

"What do you mean?" Mu Luan had no choice but to continue asking.

Jun Zhao explained: "The pulse of a poisoned person usually shows internal disturbance of phlegm and fire, and internal damage to the heart qi. After death, the face is peaceful and there is no abnormality."

Mu Luan recalled that when Jun Zhao killed Cao Mang in his previous life, he fed him a whole bottle of poisonous insects. The effect of the medicine was naturally a hundred times stronger than a black corpse pill.

Whenever Mu Luan thought of that horrific way of death, she felt terrified.

Jun Zhao saw Mu Luan’s face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he was terribly scared, he still insisted on investigating.

Just like every time I see him, I am either shocked or angry, but I will still help him.

Tsk, this woman is really interesting!

"It is caused by the internal disturbance of phlegm and fire, and the internal damage of heart qi?"

Mu Luan reviewed the situation carefully for a moment, and immediately clenched her purse. She was surprised to find that "Qiao Fugui's pulse seemed to be like this before he died. If we can prove that Qiao Fugui did not die of natural causes, then the rumors will be self-defeating!"

In the previous life, Mu Luan accidentally discovered that Qiao Fugui died a violent death.

But at that time, no one knew the cause of his death, so they could only let Jiang Yanyun and others talk nonsense and spread rumors.

Discovering this clue is truly the key to dispelling the rumors.

Mu Luan's clear peach blossom eyes suddenly sparkled with stars, and she happily grabbed Jun Zhao's arm and shook it, "Thank you, you helped me a lot."

Jun Zhao seemed to be infected by that smile, and he also twitched his lips, staring at the woman's knuckles falling on his black shirt, the whiteness so blinding.

But soon, Mu Luan's brows drooped, and she held Jun Zhao's hand and left.

The man's sight still followed the swaying white light...

"It's a pity that Qiao Fugui's body has not been found yet, and we don't know where they buried him."

Jun Zhao's eyes moved and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was happy to see someone trying to move the General's Mansion, as it would only benefit him and not harm his ambitions.

He sighed in his heart, it seems that he can't help the noble man.

Mu Luan, with a lot on her mind, went back to her bed and lay down. There was only a screen separating the outer room from the inner room.

She thought she would not be able to sleep all night with Jun Zhao around, but unexpectedly she fell into a deep sleep very quickly.

At night I always feel like there is a dark shadow at the head of the bed, staying there for a long time.

She struggled to open her eyes, but was unable to do so.

So he tried to call out to the attendant, "Yinxin, Yinxin..."

"I'm here, Miss, wake up..."

The next moment, Mu Luan suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into her sight was Yin Xin's figure.

Only then did she realize that she seemed to have had a dream.

I was entangled by a dark shadow in my dream and couldn't get away.

It seemed to have three heads and six arms, binding her hands and feet and pulling her towards the abyss.

The feeling of weightlessness was as if one were experiencing it personally, making people feel anxious and uneasy.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare again?" Yin Xin asked worriedly.
