Chapter 54 Clues

"In that case, then dare to ask the queen if anyone has ever bullied Concubine An, or specifically targeted her?" asked Zhiying.

"Although the harem is a family, there will also be intimacy, and whether you like it or not is not only verbal, but even if someone harms her, she will never use the method of resurrection from the dead. The queen said calmly.

Well, no one wants to make their opponents stronger, unless... In the event of an accident, I thought of a possibility, but this possibility was very small.

"Then can the queen tell me who is the main person who is friendly with Concubine An on weekdays?" Ling Jun asked.

The queen sighed, "Concubine An used to like to be alone, and she was not close to everyone, and sometimes she would come to the palace to sit here, but she only sat idly, regardless of the length of the person. Bengong selfishly thought that she was noble, talented and good-looking, and she was a clear stream in the harem, but unfortunately she was not pleased with His Majesty. ”

This means that she doesn't have any special friends? She has no friends, and there are many potential enemies, so it's no wonder that she will end up in the cold palace and commit suicide, but in this case, where can she start to find out?

"In fact, in the opinion of the palace, it is better to do a ritual to exorcise evil spirits in the harem, and then detain Concubine An to the imperial mausoleum to guard, and after a hundred years, bury her in the concubine's mausoleum. The queen said suddenly.

"Niangniang wants to calm things down, but what if this kind of thing happens again in the future?"

"Zi Bu is strange and confused, Your Majesty governs the country well, the country is peaceful and peaceful, this kind of thing will only damage Your Majesty's benevolence. A few people who are outsiders should also understand that only the last days will bring bad signs, and it is against the way of heaven to come back from the dead, and it is not a good thing, so what will the people of the world think of Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were immediately speechless. They just want to find out the truth, and the queen wants to maintain the royal majesty, the image of His Majesty, the two are in conflict with each other to a certain extent, and things will inevitably get deadlocked, so they have to retreat first.

"It seems unlikely that the queen can be counted on to help. "Hold the profit lamented. The queen of the harem is the biggest, if she refuses to cooperate, who would dare to talk nonsense, and when she thought of the emperor wanting to make her the county lord, it was even more of a lawsuit. In this kind of place, staying too much will really lose your life, and if you really can't help it then, you can only slip away.

"This is not the way, why don't we go to the Jixian Hall first. Ling Jun proposed.

"What are you going to do there?" asked Zhiying and Zhijie in unison.

"It's a place to collect classics, all-encompassing, encompassing all the books of the world, and you may be able to find clues there. ”

The three of them had tokens, and it was much easier to do things, and when they arrived at the Jixian Palace, there happened to be a scholar compiling the classics. The three of them searched around the bush, but they didn't gain much, and they were all disappointed. At this time, an old bachelor told an old story that happened sixty years ago: a concubine suddenly fell ill and died, and when the first seven were resurrected, she was resurrected in front of everyone's eyes, and her temperament changed greatly, and the people in the harem were panicked, thinking that there was an evil spirit. As soon as the three of them heard this, they immediately came to their senses, isn't this similar to Concubine An's situation.

"And then, what happened to this concubine?" asked Zhiying eagerly.

"What else, I was surrounded and burned to death in the dormitory by the forbidden army. ”

"Huh?" said Zhiying incredulously, "and you haven't found out the reason for the great change in the concubine's temperament?"

"The reason is that evil spirits are haunting. The old bachelor said as a matter of course.

This explanation... Zhiying was speechless.

Holding the festival couldn't stand it, and said, "I'm sorry." Then he pulled Zhiying out of the Jixian Palace.

"Oh, let go of me, Lingjun is still inside. "Holding the profit to break free from the holding is to go inside.

"Come back. Holding the knots and holding the Ying refused to let go.

"What's wrong?"

"In my opinion, it is enough to have Ling Jun alone in the hall, let's go somewhere else. ”

"Where?"

"Cold Palace. ”

Zhiying thought about it and felt that it was better to try her luck than to try her luck in this way, so she readily agreed.

Because the cold palace has been abandoned for many years, few people come, so the yin atmosphere here is dense, the cobwebs are dense, and the holding and holding are slowly shuttling through it with their mouths and noses covered.

"Ahem, senior brother, this hall has been abandoned for a long time, and I don't think there are any useful clues. Holding Ying used the hilt of his sword to remove the cobwebs as he held the knot.

Zhijie listened to Zhiying's words, and did not express it, but squatted down and observed carefully.

"Senior brother, what are you looking at?" Zhiying noticed that there were black ashes in front of Zhijie, and this ash was not dust, but it looked like something had been burned and left behind.

He touched it with his hand and sniffed it under his nose, "It's the smell of candles." ”

"Candles?"

"Yes. I probably wouldn't have noticed it in other palaces, but here, you see, it's regular. Holding his hand and drawing an outline, "You don't see this like some kind of formation." ”

Zhiying watched while thinking back to what he had learned, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I know, it's a summoning technique!"

"Yes, it's summoning. Soon after death, the soul has not yet left the body, and during this time, it is possible to reunite the soul, in other words, with the right method, it is possible to resurrect the dead. ”

"That's right, senior brother, who in this palace can do such a spell?"

Jijie shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Although we don't know who the people behind the scenes are, Concubine An's affairs are finally a little eyebrow-raising, so that she can be cleared. ”

"You seem to care about Concubine An?"

"It's not about caring, it's just a good young woman who died and came back to life, and was still treated as a monster, it's really pitiful, but she goes with the flow, enjoys herself, and is respectable. ”

Seeing that she was serious, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior sister, I found that you have changed a lot in the past few months. ”

"What's the big deal?"

"It's just... It's nothing, no matter what, you're still my junior sister. ”

Zhiying was confused by what he said, and thought to himself, the senior brother has also changed a lot, what did he say before, but now he has something to say half, and the other half is for people to guess, but it is a bit of Lingjun's style. The two brothers and sisters have their own hearts, and neither of them can fully understand each other's hearts.

"Borrow your handkerchief and use it. Zhijie stretched out his hand towards Zhiying, still maintaining a squatting posture.

Zhiying pulled out a handkerchief and gave it to him, "You want to collect some ashes, right?"

"We need to take it back and study it. ”

By the time they had finished collecting the ashes, the sun was already in the west, and now that their purpose had been achieved, there was no need to stay any longer. On the way back, they happened to run into Ling Jun, so the three of them returned to their residence and discussed what they had gained.

"Later, I found a book in the library of Jixian Hall that specializes in the number of yin and yang techniques, and there is a technique called 'summoning technique', one of which is that it can bring people back to life, and they are ignorant and unconscious, as if they have slept for a while, so I suspect that there are people in the palace who can use this technique. Ling Jun analyzed.

"That's right, Senior Brother and I also found black ashes in the Cold Palace, which are the traces left by the use of summoning techniques. "Holding the Ying Road.

The discoveries of the three coincide, and it seems that things are not far from ten, that is, someone used summoning techniques on Concubine An. The summoning technique is a forbidden technique, which is not available and very difficult, and ordinary people will not only not succeed in casting it, but will also have a fear of their lives. In this way, if it is not for someone who is willing to sacrifice his life to perform the technique, or if the practitioner is extremely cultivated, at least he can completely control this kind of forbidden technique. However, neither the former nor the latter is what the three of them are happy to see. The former is crazy, the latter is terrifying, and both of these situations will bring great destructive power that is simply not something they can afford.

"What next?" Zhiying held his chin, looking at Lingjun for a while, and at Zhijie for a while.

"We'll leave this to Your Majesty tomorrow. Jie proposed. It is only fitting that the royal affairs should be decided by the emperor.

"But we haven't found anyone behind the scenes. Zhiying reminded. She saw that Zhijie didn't want to deal with the royal family, otherwise with his temperament, he would have to find out.

"Until the truth is revealed, let's not startle the snake. Ling Jun said, "The people behind the scenes chose Concubine An for some reason, and asked her to find the key to the water spirit wooden box. Don't you think this is strange? It stands to reason that no one knows that the key is with us, and the people behind the scenes should not know, but he asked Concubine An to find it, Concubine An is only a harem concubine, and her range of activities is limited, unless the key is in the harem, she can find it. And now, we're in the harem, and the worst guess is that it's coming at us, so even if we leave, he'll find another way to get us in trouble until he gets the key. ”

"Yes, what Ling Jun said is very reasonable, it seems that we can't just take care of Concubine An, our own safety is equally important. "Holding the Ying Road.

"So next, we have to respond to all changes with the same and see what else will happen, after all, we have worked so hard to resurrect Concubine An, we can't just ask her to eat and drink, and once Concubine An makes a move, we will follow the vine and find out who is behind the scenes. "Hold the Verse.

Ling Jun Zhiying agreed, so for the next few days, they no longer visited everywhere, but enjoyed the comfortable life in the palace.

Zhiying has seen a lot of expensive jewelry, pollen, and delicacies here, and she even asked the imperial chef for cooking secrets in the small kitchen, and then she will have a good discussion when she meets He Ling in the future.

The mind is on cultivation, so these days are mostly practicing and meditating, occasionally playing chess with Ling Jun, tasting tea, not to mention how much you enjoy, but also leisurely.

Ling Jun is well-informed, and in the past few days, he has discussed with all the scholars in the Jixian Palace, and has been unanimously respected, if he is not a person outside the party, everyone will invite him to give a lecture. After hearing about it, I was overjoyed. I thought, didn't the emperor want to make her the lord of the county? Then even Lingjun was sealed together, yes, he was named a bachelor, a talented woman and a good match!
