Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Garden of Hearts
In the cave of the Medicine King Monument, a green halo slowly poured out from the medicine man's hand and wrapped around Lin Qi's body.
After a while, Yao Zhenren stopped moving, the green light dissipated, and the skin on Lin Qi's body that had been burned due to the burning returned to its original brilliance. There was only a shallow mark on his left shoulder, and it was not at all obvious that he had been injured.
"Thank you for the medicine. Lin Qi felt the changes in his body and spoke.
"Master Lin, let's breathe first. Yao Zhenren said with concern.
Lin Qi was still seriously injured this time, when the sword qi was strangled, although he deviated from the heart, he still hurt the heart, and Yao Zhenren only healed his external injuries, and the internal injuries were not yet healed.
After listening to Yao Zhenren's words, Lin Qi nodded. Then he slowly sat up from the bed, sat cross-legged and began to run the true qi to repair the meridians that were injured by the sword qi little by little.
......
Outside, in the main hall of the palace, all the four heavenly masters of An Tianfu were present. Each of them is a fairy wind bone, calm and sophisticated. The faint momentum is extremely terrifying.
Four old men with a kind of disciples of An Tianfu stood in the main hall, and all the officials next to them looked extremely respectful.
Ji Tianci, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty after the first book case, had a little bad look on his face.
"Zhao Tianshi, do you mean that the thief has already hidden in this palace?" Ji Tianci asked hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, what the old man said is true, just two quarters of an hour ago, the old man had seriously injured him. The escape talisman used by the thief didn't last long, and he must have escaped to the vicinity of the palace in old age. An Tianfu had already sent people to search the area around the palace, but they didn't find that person. So the old decay wants..."
After Lin Qi escaped, Zhao Delong informed the people of An Tianfu to look for him near the palace. It was only when he followed here that the aura on Lin Qi's body disappeared. Now he took the four great heavenly masters and a group of high-ranking officials of the An Tianfu in the hope of entering the palace to search.
After all, searching the palace is not a trivial matter, and he can only call the other three heavenly masters of the An Tianfu to ask Ji Tianci for this matter together.
The Heavenly Masters of the other three cities, Zhang Juzheng, Qiu Huaidao, and Cao Anli, all had very firm faces, as if as long as Ji Tianci didn't agree, they would not leave.
After hearing their plea, Ji Tianci was also a little difficult. After all, not everyone in the palace can search, this is his home of the Great Zhou Tianzi, and it is his own territory. It is indeed inappropriate to let An Tianfu come in and search, and in order to search for a thief. If such a precedent is set, where is the royal majesty, and if a thief comes in the palace in the future, can other departments come in and search?
"Oh, since Zhao Tianshi has seriously injured that thief, presumably even if he hides in the palace, it won't be a problem. That's it, four Heavenly Masters. Since you have concluded that he has hid in the palace, there is no need to send people from An Tianfu into the palace to search. ”
After Ji Tianci heard Zhao Delong's words, he thought of a way to do both. After saying this, he set his eyes on a golden-armored guard beside him.
"Commander Yang. ”
"The minister is here!"
At this time, after hearing Ji Tianci's call, the golden-armored guards clenched their fists and bowed and waited for the order.
"I order you to take thirty Imperial Forest Army to search the inner palace. Zhao Tianshi accompanied. Let's wait for the rest of us. ”
"The minister commanded. ”
Yang Jian arched his hand, stood up straight and walked directly down the hall, Zhao Delong saw this, and could only agree. Now that it is the biggest concession that Ji Tianci has made, it is naturally not good for him to gain an inch. The other three Heavenly Masters also had nothing to say, after all, to deal with a seriously injured thief, these people were enough to deal with it.
With the departure of Yang Zhao and the others, Ji Tianci issued another order, asking the inner guards in each palace and courtyard to carefully search the corners of the palace courtyard, and report any abnormalities immediately, without mistakes.
"Come on, give a seat to the three Heavenly Masters. ”
......
At this time, the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty became lively, and many masters in the harem received the news that the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to search the inner palace.
Some of the concubines and minions all moved, and they didn't know why the emperor sent people to search the harem and hide all the unsightly things.
Yang Jian and Zhao Delong led the thirty Imperial Forest Army, and first searched Ji Tianci's dormitory, but did not find anything abnormal, and then they were relieved. After all, everything in this palace is to put the emperor's safety first, and the first thing they naturally want to do is to confirm the emperor's bedroom. After that, it was time to search for the residences of some eunuchs and palace maids.
After being busy for a while, I confirmed that there was nothing abnormal. Everyone quickly rushed to the harem again, and even Yang Jian didn't dare to step into this place easily. After all, this is Ji Tianci's backyard, and a male official who enters it is guilty of killing his head.
Even if there is an oracle today, I don't dare to make a mistake easily. Yang Jian led the Imperial Forest Army and Zhao Delong to the door of a dormitory courtyard. After the report of the eunuch at the door, he got the consent of the master of the dormitory and led the people into it.
"The queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”
After entering the courtyard, I saw a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman standing at the door, and two palace maids beside her supported the woman. When Yang Jian and the other thirty Imperial Forest soldiers saw it, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed. Zhao Delong, who was on the side, also held his hand on his chest and made a heavenly master salute.
"I've seen the Queen Mother. Zhao Delong said.
"Flatten. ”
"The mourning family has seen Zhao Tianshi. ”
Empress Jiang returned the salute very decently. Jiang Lanxin was originally born in the Jiang family, the head of the twelfth family, and there was a strange person in her ancestors, who was Jiang Tianshi who established the entire Antian Mansion. Therefore, for the people of Antianfu, Empress Jiang still respects it very much.
"What is the so-called matter of Zhao Tianshi and Commander Yang searching the inner palace today?"
At this moment, Yang Jian and the Thirty Imperial Forest Army had already stood up, and Empress Jiang asked.
"Back to the queen's mother, a thief sneaked into the palace, and the minister and Zhao Tianshi came for this thief. Yang Jian replied respectfully.
"Oh, I don't know, but it's the boy named Lin Qi?"
Empress Jiang was already in the middle of the blue heart show, and she had already heard Zhao Delong's roar before. I had already sent someone to inquire about some of the circumstances, and as soon as I heard Yang Jian's words, I guessed the origin of the two.
"Hehe, you can't hide anything from the queen's eyes. That's right, the old man had been seriously injured before. He fled to the palace. But the queen can rest assured that she will soon be able to find the thief. Zhao Delong said with a smile.
"Well, Commander Yang will send someone to search the mourning house carefully. I will send someone to inform your sisters and ask them to cooperate with your work. ”
Empress Jiang said that the whole person moved to the side and stood with Zhao Delong.
At this moment, Zhao Delong did not follow Yang Jian and the others to search, but chatted with Queen Jiang about family life. For the descendants of the first Heavenly Master, Zhao Delong still attaches great importance to it. The inheritance of An Tianfu was left by Jiang Tianshi, and the people of the Jiang family were naturally cultivating. Jiang Lanxin naturally would not miss the opportunity to consult Zhao Tianshi.
Soon, Yang Jian and others searched the queen's bedroom, but found nothing abnormal. Zhao Delong and Yang Jian said goodbye to Empress Jiang, and continued to search the bedrooms of the other imperial concubines.
After being informed by Empress Jiang, they went extremely smoothly, and after two hours of investigation, the entire harem was searched. A total of thirty-seven dormitories were missing, and nothing unusual was found.
"Zhao Tianshi, now the entire palace has been searched by us. Now there is only one place that has not been searched. ”
When Yang Jian said this, he had already led people to the gate of an independent manor. This is where Concubine Xiao's bedroom is located.
"It's... Concubine Xiao's dormitory?"
Zhao Delong looked at this big manor called Xunxin Garden, and said with some surprise on his face.
For this Xiao Guifei, Zhao Delong has heard some rumors. Yang Jian was not surprised when he saw Zhao Delong's expression. He just smiled at Zhao Tianshi and nodded.
"Such a woman, the emperor he..."
"Zhao Tianshi, don't mention it. ”
Zhao Delong was about to say something, but Yang Jian's face changed and he hurriedly stopped.
"Hey... That's fine. Let's go inside. Zhao Delong sighed and said.
Yang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Delong no longer mentioned this matter. He stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.
Knock knock
Just after Yang Jian knocked on the door, a small window on the door was opened from the inside. A head poked out of it. After seeing that it was Commander Yang, he hurriedly opened the door.
"The minions have seen Commander Yang. I've seen the Heavenly Master. ”
This is an old eunuch, with a very large grade, and he looks even older than Zhao Delong. The movement was very slow, although he didn't know Zhao Delong, but seeing that he was wearing the Heavenly Master robe of An Tianfu, he also understood that this was an old Heavenly Master, so he hurriedly saluted the two, and then saluted to the thirty Imperial Forest Army.
"Gonggong Li, the emperor has an order to search the inner palace. Today, Zhao Tianshi and I came to search the Xunxin Garden. ”
"Got it, got it. Just now, the queen has sent someone to deliver the letter. Ladies and gentlemen, please come in. Gonggong Li said respectfully.
After receiving Gonggong Li's reply, the Thirty Imperial Forest Army took the lead in rushing into the manor. Yang Jian and Zhao Delong walked into the manor under the leadership of Gonggong Li.
After passing through a beautiful pavilion corridor, I saw a huge palace.
At this moment, Xiao Xun'er, accompanied by the palace maid, had also come out and stood in front of the main gate of the palace. The thirty Imperial Forest Soldiers stood on either side and looked extremely respectful, obviously having met with Concubine Xiao.
Yang Jian and Zhao Delong, under the leadership of Gonggong Li, came to Xiao Xun'er's approach, and Yang Jian still greeted Xiao Xun'er with great respect.
"Get up. Xiao Xun'er said calmly. But the posture is charming.
After Yang Jian got up, his eyes didn't dare to look at Xiao Guifei's face anymore, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it and indulge in it.
Zhao Delong on the side simply bowed and didn't say anything.
"Commander Yang, even if you search in this garden of the palace. Xiao Xun'er also said very generously.
She had already felt Zhao Delong's attitude towards her, so naturally she didn't give him a good look, but she also bowed.
"Yes, Weichen will search as soon as possible, and will never disturb the concubine for too long. ”
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he led the Imperial Forest Army and began to search the manor. Zhao Delong didn't look down on Xiao Xun'er in the first place, so naturally he couldn't be the shopkeeper anymore, so he followed Yang Jian to search carefully in this manor.
After seeing Xiao Xun'er's attitude just now, Zhao Delong was a little unhappy. He didn't mind deliberately rummaging through the mess, and after entering the living room, with a wave of his big hand, several boxes and cabinets instantly opened, and books and items were sprayed everywhere. He did it on purpose.
Xiao Xun'er, who was standing at the door, couldn't help frowning when she saw this, but she didn't say anything to stop her. She knew that this old guy was prejudiced against herself, but she couldn't go against it. After all, the identity of the person is equivalent to Ji Tianci, and even Ji Tianci is extremely respectful when he sees this person, after all, the cultivation realm is there.
The Thirty Imperial Guards quickly searched the periphery, but found nothing. In addition to Concubine Xiao and the old eunuch, there were only seven or eight palace maids in the manor. At this time, they had already come out and stood beside Xiao Xun'er.
"Now only the concubine's bedroom has not been searched..."
At this time, in the living room, Xiao Xun'er had already walked in from outside the door, and thirty Imperial Forest Soldiers had already stood in two rows to guard. They all looked at the closed door. When Yang Jian said this, Xiao Xun'er directly grabbed the conversation.
"Search as soon as possible. ”
After getting Xiao Guifei's consent, Yang Jian still didn't move, but Zhao Delong unceremoniously pushed open the door.
Squeak...
At this moment, four Royal Forest soldiers opened the way and walked in quickly. Zhao Delong and the others followed closely into the room.
I saw that this room was extremely wide, with four columns supporting the beams in the middle. A faint fragrance of the daughter's house spread.
On one side, a candle flame is placed on the stage, and in the center is an incense burner, which is slowly wafting green smoke. There are also two bookshelves on the other side,
The gold silk light gauze curtains on both sides are entangled, and a row of screens is placed in front of the windows on both sides. Behind the curtain was a huge bed in the middle, and red gauze was hidden from the roof of the gold-carved tent. A corner of the gold silk quilt was exposed.
A few people walked inside, and then they saw that on the other side of the bed, behind a screen, a small bath was built, and some white bath towels and various colored petals were neatly arranged. Presumably, Ji Tianci and this Xiao Xun'er have done many happy things here.
On the other side, there are several wardrobes and a hanger, on which is a set of Luanfeng brocade robes, and on the side of the dresser is a gorgeous jade crown and gold hairpin. A bronze mirror is polished and translucent, illuminating people very clearly.
Yang Jian and the other Imperial Forest Army naturally didn't dare to look around, so they searched the room very carefully. Zhao Delong didn't pay much attention to it, it was still like just now, and with a wave of his hand, all the cabinets in the room were opened. Then some of the items and clothes squirted out and covered the floor.
"No?"
Zhao Delong was a little puzzled at this time, since he had just entered here, he noticed a shallow aura. If you don't look closely, this breath is completely negligible.
But at this moment, he was a little depressed, and naturally he would not let go of this breath, which was the trace of breath that Lin Qi exuded after entering the Medicine King Tablet.
Soon, Zhao Delong slowly moved his steps according to his induction and walked towards the position of the bed.
When everyone present saw Zhao Delong's serious look, they couldn't help but be suspicious. In just a moment, Zhao Delong came to the bath behind the screen on the side of the bed.
"This is it. ”
