Liu Yueqi was quite happy to be able to rub her tail openly. If there weren't too many people, Liu Yueqi would probably be able to rub her tail all afternoon without getting tired of it..

Qing 'er had long noticed that something was wrong. What nonsense mother grows on the tail! It's just that Young Master wants to touch it himself! What arrogance! What are you proud of? Isn't it just long hair on the tail? When I have the chance to pluck out all the hair on your tail, I'll see if you still dare to show off your bald tail! Qing' er was furious, but she remembered that Young Master loved her tail so much that she blushed and didn't say anything else..

After Liu Yueqi returned to the mansion, she started to get people to make those spices. The process was not complicated, but it took a lot of time..

Liu Yueqi also planned to find someone to get cumin on the barren mountain, but Qing 'er patted her chest and said that she had already sent someone to get it. Liu Yueqi was very surprised. She asked Qing' er and found out that Qing 'er had sent San Gui to find cumin. No wonder she didn't see San Gui in the mansion these past two days..

" He actually dared to spray such disgusting things at Young Master that day! It's only right for him to do some work!" Liu Yueqi held her forehead. She felt that San Gui was really miserable. Didn't you order him to do all this? Of course, she thought so, but she couldn't say it. She had to praise Qing 'er for her actions and praise her for sharing the worries for Young Master..

How exactly should I praise her? Hmm…didn't Qing 'er burn her tongue just now? Then help her suck it until Qing' er is delirious, and then let her go..

Later, even Qing 'er didn't know whether this was punishment or praise. Anyway, it was very useful..

Liu Yueqi planned to investigate the cause of her death... Erm, there seemed to be something wrong with her words, but the meaning was right. She was killed by someone riding a horse, and that person happened to die outside the city. No matter what, this matter was suspicious..

Liu Yueqi had just transmigrated here, so she didn't have time to think about it. However, after Yu Zhu reminded her, she thought that something was wrong! Even if she was the one who wanted to kill him, Liu Yueqi was the one who occupied this body. If she found out that she wasn't dead, she would still be in danger if she returned..

The murderer is dead, the cause of death is unknown, and the yamen hastily closed the case. If he wants to investigate, he can only start from the aspect of the corpse..

Liu Yueqi asked around. Usually, dead people would stay in the morgue of the yamen for seven days. The temperature in the morgue was low, so they could keep the bodies for a while, but after a long time, they would stink. Liu Yueqi didn't want to ask too much about how the yamen cooled down in the morgue..

However, it had obviously been seven days since Liu Yueqi was hit, so the body should have been thrown to the mass grave outside the city..

Liu Yueqi's heart was pounding. That place sounded very strange. Even in the place where she used to be without ghosts, everyone kept a respectful distance from the mass grave, not to mention this world…"Qing 'er, do you know if there are ghosts in this world?" Liu Yueqi asked Qing' er beside her..

" Yes! But very few of them. After death, some of the mortal souls disappear into the world. Some of them return to hell and enter reincarnation. A very small number of souls with deep obsessions remain in existence, retaining a trace of memory and turning into evil spirits!" Qing 'er explained..

"Soul…What about people with cultivation? Will their souls go to hell after they die?" Qing 'er frowned."It depends on their cultivation. The higher their cultivation, the stronger their souls. I heard that when they reach the fourth realm, their physical bodies die, but their souls are not destroyed. As long as they find a suitable physical body, they can even be reborn!""Then Qing 'er, is there any difference between being a snake and being a human? Will it be uncomfortable to have two more hands and two more legs?".

After asking around, Liu Yueqi learned that the corpse was indeed thrown into the mass grave. However, so many days had passed, and it was still summer. It was probably smelly. Even if the corpse was found, it would be difficult to find any clues..

But I'm always idle. What if I can find some clues?.

After that, he left the city with Qing 'er..

The mass grave is in the wilderness about twenty miles north of Chujing, adjacent to the deep mountains. If the body is thrown there, it may be eaten by wild animals..

However, most of the corpses here were people of unknown origin. There were also some condemned prisoners. After they were beheaded, if no one collected their corpses, they could only be thrown in mass graves..

Liu Yueqi was riding a carriage to the mass grave. In the carriage, she had been thinking about how this case happened..

I heard from the surrounding that I was walking on the street that day, and suddenly a man on a horse ran over like crazy and directly hit me. According to witnesses, after that man hit someone, he ran away in a hurry. It really looked like manslaughter..

But thinking about it carefully, something was wrong. He was walking on the street. There were so many people walking on the street. Everyone was fine, but he was hit. Moreover, although there was no rule prohibiting riding horses in the city, if he wanted to kill someone, his speed must be extremely fast. It was too coincidental that he only hit him at such a fast speed! Therefore, this matter must have been man-made. That person had a purpose for coming at him! Then who did he offend? Liu Yueqi thought about it and felt a headache. She had transmigrated here and had no memories of her original body. How could she know who she had offended?.

Liu Yueqi asked Qing 'er,"Qing' er, you've been with me for so long. Do you know who I've offended?".

Qing 'er shook her head and said," Young Master used to stay indoors and read all day. I don't think anyone has any deep hatred for you, let alone hire someone to kill you..." Then there was no clue here. Liu Yueqi frowned and thought..

Qing 'er suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up as she said," Oh right! Chu King has a nephew named Chu Yun. He seems to be interested in that stinky fox!".

Liu Yueqi reacted for a while before realizing that Qing 'er was talking about Bai Yeqing..

The king of Chu was the king of Chu. Because it was only a small and remote country, it dared not call itself a dynasty. It could only be called a small king..

Including Chu Capital, Chu only had twelve cities. Although the territory was small, it had a complete official system..

The Chu family has ruled this small country for hundreds of years. It has been passed down for more than ten generations. The current King of Chu is called Chu Gang. He is now in his forties and has been in power for ten years. Under his rule, Chu is considered prosperous. It is far inferior to Chen in the Central Plains. However, compared with other small countries in the surrounding areas, it is still slightly superior..

The Chu Yun that Qing 'er mentioned was the nephew of Chu. In a big country, he was called the eldest son of a prince, or the son of a prince. However, in this remote country, he did not have such a high title. However, he was still considered a branch of the royal family and the most influential people in Chu..

" That vixen is actually the same as Young Master. She rarely goes out. Young Master used to like to sneak into the Bai Residence. Unfortunately, he never brought Qing 'er there. Otherwise, Qing' er would have known that it was a fox's den!" Qing 'er smacked her lips..

Liu Yueqi was stunned." I like to run to the Bai residence?".

" I heard that before Madam Bai died, Young Master had a good relationship with that vixen. After Madam Bai died, that vixen never went out much. Even if Young Master went over, he would often get rejected. It's really hateful. Why don't Young Master divorce her?""The vixen likes to pretend to be aloof and unwilling to go out. It's rare for her to go out and be seen by Prince Chu. Young Master also knows that the vixen is very seductive. Chu Yun is fascinated and runs to the White Mansion every three days.".

However, that vixen was loyal and basically did not receive guests. In order to maintain his image, Prince Chu did not force his way in. Later, he heard that the vixen had an engagement with you, so he slowly stopped!"Although the King of Chu did not grant him the title of Prince, Chu Yun had not yet held an official position in the royal court. People also respectfully called him Prince.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Yun was modest and gentle. When someone called him Prince, he always smiled and refused. However, he could not stand those flattery. Over time, everyone called him Prince. Chu Wang also shook his head with a smile and did not say anything..

" Your Highness, you actually gave up so easily?" Liu Yueqi didn't care about Qing 'er deliberately smearing Bai Ye Qing. Anyway, whatever this black-bellied little snake demon said, don't take it too seriously. Otherwise, she would definitely be furious..

"He has a good reputation! Even His Highness the Crown Prince isn't as famous as him!" Qing 'er cast a sidelong glance at him. She was also angry at why the prince didn't marry that vixen. What engagement was there to be afraid of? What was there to be afraid of from a Bai Manor that had no foundation in Chu Capital…Even if they really fell out, there might not be anyone in the entire Chu Country who could stop a third level demon…Was he really afraid of ruining his reputation? Liu Yueqi had some doubts in her heart. In his knowledge, those with good reputations might not necessarily be good people. They might be poisonous snakes in the dark. You can't judge people by their appearance. For example, Qing 'er was such a beautiful girl. Who could imagine that she was a snake demon who killed without blinking an eye... Hmm, this was also what Yu Zhu said..

Liu Yueqi thought for a moment. Whether it was him or not, this was still a clue. She would remember it first..

After an hour, the carriage finally arrived at Liu Yueqi's destination--the Mass Grave..
