The female Ti Xing joins hands with the mysterious scholar to tear apart the bloody fog of the serial murders in the palace!
In a courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, Jing Wan, the sister of the imperial concubine Jing, was raped and murdered. Only half of a jade pendant with a lotus pattern and a wisp of benzoin from the Western Regions were left at the scene.
Bei Zhiyue, the daughter of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was forced to secretly investigate the case as a clerk, but was assassinated while tracking down the suspect. At the critical moment, Nan Zhuxing, who claims to be a wandering scholar, comes to the rescue. He knows medical skills and is good at solving cases. A black iron dagger reveals his military background, but he never mentions his life experience.
"Girl, how about I help you investigate the case and have a meal in exchange?"
The two men worked together to investigate, and the three powerful sons were full of doubts. The jade pendant of the nephew of the commander of the imperial army, the secret deal mentioned by the nephew of the Minister of Household Affairs, and the lead powder in the palace cosmetics. The clues lead directly to the depths of the palace.
But just as the case was coming to light, a series of imitation murders suddenly broke out. The victims were all the female relatives of powerful people, and there were also lotus patterns left on the scene! The suspect in prison committed suicide after writing the word "palace" in blood. Masked men continued to hunt him down. There was a strange atmosphere inside Dali Temple, and even the prince was involved.
Is he hiding his identity from her to protect her, or does he have another agenda?
Which prince is the secret organization behind the Lotus Pattern supporting the throne?
Jingwan's death, palace corruption, and the prince's life experience all hide the same shocking conspiracy!
"Your Highness, the case has not been solved, so the situation is temporarily put on hold."
"Okay, then I will accompany you to investigate from the palace to the world, from the murder case to the country!"
