"Miss Shen, there is a smell of blood!"

The maid sent by Concubine Shu shouted, and Shen Qingxi immediately made a gesture of silence.

"Shh, whisper, beware of alarming others."

After saying this, the expressions of the people following Shen Qingxi changed.

The light in the mountains and forests was dark, and the night lights in the maid's door were dim and unclear. Shen Qingxi pondered for a moment and simply ordered, "You all turn off the night lights."

The few people were stunned, and Shen Qingxi said again, "Down and move forward."

The few people who followed Shufei were in martial arts, but they were all women. After so many years, they had not experienced many days of licking blood from the knife. At most, they were just protecting Shufei in the palace. Therefore, at this time, they were not skilled enough. Seeing Shen Qingxi like this, the few people turned off the lights after a moment of pondering, and suddenly, the surroundings became dark.

Not only did the lights turn off, but even the horse was tied not far away, and then walked and fumbled to the place with the strongest smell of blood. After a while, Shen Qingxi saw several corpses lying on the ground. In an instant, Shen Qingxi felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, and the people following her were shocked.

Bai Ji is the eldest princess. Although she is also skilled in martial arts, she has never seen such a scene. It is not necessary to mention that she has seen many corpses of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. However, this is the first time she has seen so many corpses in the forest. The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that they dare not go forward.

Shen Qingxi swallowed toughly and walked forward step by step.

Bai Ji was stunned and hurriedly followed. The remaining people were not afraid of Shen Qingxi, but even gritted their teeth and walked forward. They walked closer and took advantage of the dim light in the sky. They all wore black clothes and had black scarves on their faces. They were already cold at this moment. Some of these people died of arrows, while others died of knife wounds, and all of them were clean and neat.

Shen Qingxi's eyes changed a little, "Your Highness and the others must be around here, let's go and look for it."

A maid from Shufei couldn't help but say, "How do you know about it, Miss?"

Shen Qingxi looked at the corpse lying on the ground, "When the Seventh Prince left, he only brought a few guards, but these people were all wearing Ye Xingyi. They were not ordinary people at first sight. Although many of them died, they were afraid that there were still people alive. Their highness was carrying fewer people. I think most of them were hiding and following them at this moment. The blood of these people had not yet condensed, and the killing happened just now, so I suspect that Your Highness and the others had not gone far."

Shen Qingxi walked around while talking, carefully observing the traces on the ground, killing people, and there was so much blood. No matter who left, there would be traces on the ground. Shen Qingxi looked carefully. Soon, Shen Qingxi found clues in a few tall pine and cypresses. She shouted, "Go here."

Bai Ji and others immediately followed. At this time, everyone admired Shen Qingxi and subconsciously protected her. Shen Qingxi looked while walking, and soon the group arrived at a fork in the road. Shen Qingxi paused, but made a decision in a moment.

These two roads lead to the ridge, and the other lead to the seemingly low-lying valley. Shen Qingxi chose to lead to the one in the low-lying valley. Seeing this, a maid couldn't help asking, "Miss, this valley is the most likely to be taken by people. Your Highness and the others may have already gone up the ridge."
