"Well, that's right." King Huai nodded in agreement, "At that time, Ah Chang was indeed making pigments in this place, and he was still sleepy. ”

"This ......" Yi Zhao paused, ignored his cold water, and said with an unflustered face, "There must be other people, and there must be clues that I haven't found." ”

King Huai nodded cooperatively: "Then you continue." ”

Yi Zhao didn't talk much nonsense, but he didn't blindly look for it again. The carpet search, she had just conducted, now had to think carefully about where there might be traces.

However, King Huai is occupying the most important inspection area.

King Huai didn't consciously get out of the way, but accosted him for a while: "You are on weekdays, but you are helping the yamen investigate the case?" ”

Yi Zhao's face froze, and he said, "Why do you ask like this?" ”

"Look, you're quite experienced." King Huai stared at Yi Zhao with a smile.

Yi Zhao avoided his gaze: "It's just good at observation." ”

King Huai will believe the letter and nod his head in doubt.

"King Huai, if you're okay, can you let me go?" Yi Zhao no longer hesitated, and directly opened his mouth to drive away King Huai.

"You take your time."

Huai Wang replied with a smile, got up straight, and walked out.

Yi Zhao watched him, looking at his slender voice and shadow, his dark red robe, and he lost his mind for a moment. Such a person is self-effacing and romantic, and even someone close to Miss Chang is insignificant in his heart, so who can be the one he cares about?

It seems to be smiling, but in fact it is indifferent and ruthless.

Squeak –

Syllable!

The door of the Scripture Pavilion was closed again, Yi Zhao put away his mind, and the voice of King Huai came from outside the door.

"What about Chengyan?"

"Gone with the Viewer."

Just these two sentences, and there are no more. The next moment, the door of the Scripture Pavilion was opened again, and the white lotus slipped in from the outside.

"Miss."

"How did you get in?" Yi Zhao smiled slightly.

Bai Lotus said softly: "I saw that King Huai was gone, thinking that only Miss was inside, so I came in to take a look and accompany you." ”

Yi Zhao was stunned: "He's gone?" ”

"Well, let's go." Bai Lotus nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I should go to find the Liu Gongzi named Liu Chengyan next to him." ”

Yi Zhao said that he understood, and he didn't inquire anymore, and there was something unpleasant in his heart.

"Miss, why are you upset? Did King Huai say anything to hurt you just now? Bai Lotus asked worriedly.

"Nope."

Yi Zhao replied lightly, and his gaze fell on the incense burner on the table.

There was no incense burning in the incense burner, not even incense ashes, and it was necessary to rinse the incense ash crumbs with water. The incense burner is bronze, with a pitted inner wall, and it looks like it has been used for some years.

"What's so nice about an incense burner?" The white lotus root also came up, looked back and forth, and didn't see anything different inside, "If there are two words that you don't know, maybe it's worth some money." ”

Yi Zhao looked at her with a smile: "You also know this?" ”

"My grandfather likes these the most, don't we have a few in our house?" Bai Lotus explained disappreciatively.

Yi Zhao is undeniable. Her grandfather, General Zhenguo's favorite thing is to toss some bronzes. Seeing that Bai Lotus had a strong desire for knowledge, Yi Zhao directly put the incense burner in front of her.

"You see, this incense burner has been used for a short time, and it must have been placed here all along. Now, can you see what's wrong? ”

Bai Lotus observed carefully, took the incense burner from Yi Zhao's hand, tossed it up and down, and finally shook his head.

"It's just an ordinary incense burner."

"When you clean up the incense burner on weekdays, do you pour all the ashes inside?" Yi Zhao continued to prompt.

"No, it won't." Bai Lotus shook his head and suddenly realized, "There is something wrong with this incense burner." ”

"It should be a problem with the incense ash." Yi Zhao narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

……

King Huai followed the route in his memory, reached the rear of the Xuanling Temple, stepped on the bluestone slab, and arrived in front of a two-story pavilion. There were two Taoist priests guarding the door. When they saw King Huai, their faces changed drastically, and they saluted respectfully.

"I've seen King Huai!"

"Hmm." King Huai smiled and looked at them very kindly, "Don't let this king go in and take a look at the imperial brother's elixir refining for the sake of the Daoist." ”

The Taoist priests who guard the door are all unbelieving, they are the "old men" who have come to the Xuanling Temple since King Huai was young, and they know very well about King Huai's bad crimes.

At the beginning, the Changchun Daoist was just about to refine a batch of pills, and King Huai sneaked into the alchemy room, wanting to see what the elixir refined by the Changchun Daoist looked like.

Coincidentally, King Huai found that the fire under the alchemy furnace was about to be extinguished, and the Taoist was still napping. He didn't shout that he didn't do it for the Taoist, he added firewood to it, and it burned red. The fire of the alchemy furnace passed, and the Changchun Daoist and Buwei Daoist looked at the three pills for eighty-one days, and they were destroyed like this.

Changchun Dao Chang has a good temper and doesn't care. Don't be angry with the Taoist chief.

Because at that time, the Changchun Taoist was not the Taoist Chief, but was responsible for watching the fire. I didn't dare to sleep for the eighty-one days of the Taoist chief, but I was afraid that the heat would not be mastered. Who knew that after taking a nap, there was nothing.

The alchemy room has been the forbidden area of King Huai from now on.

King Huai is forbidden to enter.

Therefore, whoever asked King Huai to come to the alchemy room could not be a Taoist.

"What? Do you still think that this king is deceiving you? King Huai immediately took out the posture of a prince to oppress the two of them.

The two of them stood straight, looking at death as if they were at home, and said: "The Lord has a life, and without his orders, no one in the alchemy room can trespass." ”

"Didn't the king say that you two shafts of wood? It is not for the Taoist to let this king come. ”

"King Huai, don't lie to us, it's impossible." One of them really couldn't stand King Huai's stalking, and he no longer beat around the bush, and directly pierced it, "There is still an elixir for His Majesty in it, and it is finally refined, don't destroy it again." ”

King Huai snorted, his eyes instantly gloomy, and he stared at the Taoist priest who had the courage to refute him.

Just then, the door opened. Out of it came a pot-bellied Taoist. It is the head of Jiutan Road.

"King Huai, why are you here?" The Daoist of Jiutan smiled honestly and greeted King Huai respectfully.

When he raised his eyes, King Huai's face had changed, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

"Let's see how about the elixir for the imperial brother, you are the only one in it?"

"Yes." Daoist Jiutan nodded, "From today, it's time to refine next month's elixir." ”

"Really?"

King Huai's eyes flashed, and he lifted the fan in his hand and hit the waist of the head of Jiutan Dao. Taking advantage of the gap when he was hiding to the side, he entered the alchemy room.

The face of the Daoist of Jiutan changed suddenly, and he saw that the other two Taoist priests guarding the door also had a frightened and "none of my business" expressions, and hurriedly followed King Huai, for fear that he would do what he did back then.

"King Huai, you have to be careful, you have to slow down."

The head of Jiutan Road also followed suit, reminding King Huai from time to time. It's not that I'm afraid that he will hurt him, but I'm afraid that he will break something in the alchemy room.

King Huai went to the side of the alchemy furnace and glanced at the alchemy furnace, which was more than one person high.

"After so many years, it's still this stove, and you haven't changed it to a new one?"

The Daoist of Jiutan placed himself between King Huai and the alchemy furnace, completely isolating the two of them. At this time, the benefits of the hypertrophy of the Jiutan Dao Elder came, and he could completely block King Huai.

"Where is this said to be changed?"

"Really?"

King Huai asked casually, and did not expect the Jiutan Daoist to continue to answer, but used a fan to cross the Jiutan Daoist's shoulder and pointed to the fire under the alchemy furnace.

"This fire looks pretty small, don't you need to add a fire?"

Jiutan Daoist hurriedly shook his head: "No! ”

"Oh......"

King Huai groaned softly, walked around the alchemy furnace for half a circle, passed by a couch, and arrived in front of the wooden frame where the pills were stored.

Three identical wooden shelves, in the shape of a half-cut hexagonal shape, are placed on two layers of porcelain vases of different sizes, and below are some drawers, on which are also marked with the names of the stored medicinal materials.

"What kind of pills are these?"

As he spoke, King Huai reached out and took a bottle down. The head of Jiutan Dao flashed and blocked in front of him.

"Some of them are still not refined, King Huai should not make a mistake."

King Huai withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Where is Your Majesty's elixir?" Show it to the king. ”

The Daoist of Jiutan stared at King Huai hesitantly for a long time, King Huai's face was condensed, he could only take down a brocade box from the top lattice and open it for King Huai to take a look. There was a pill at the end of the box.

King Huai didn't run into it twice this time, but just stared quietly for a while, and a sense of sadness spread in his heart.

For as long as he can remember, his father has been taking pills, wanting to live forever, eating so much, and finally dying. This elixir is not a good thing.

"What does this elixir do?"

Jiutan Dao said: "Enhance your majesty's physique and prolong your life." ”

King Huai nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he had no desire to continue looking, the Daoist of Jiutan closed the box and carefully put it away. Only then did King Huai notice that there was a notch on the index finger of the Daoist of Jiutan, which looked like it had been cut by some sharp weapon. It was just a minor injury, and he didn't pay attention to it.

"It's really hard for you to guard the alchemy furnace every day, and you don't feel bored?"

cold, King Huai began to chatter.

Jiutan Daoist smiled innocently: "Cultivators are naturally patient, and they are used to these. ”

"Also, you are very qualitative, and since you were a child, you like to fiddle with those scriptures in the scripture pavilion, and you don't come out all day long." King Huai nodded and affirmed him, "You are also cautious and subtle in your daily work, and it is also reassuring to manage the pills." ”

"King Huai has won the award."

"By the way, I heard that it was Chang Le who you greeted today, why did you dare to leave her alone in the Scripture Pavilion?" King Huai frowned suspiciously, "All the treasures of your Xuanlingguan are in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, where are the most important scriptures, aren't you afraid that if she is careless, she will burn all the things in it with a fire?" Or did you accidentally damage something? ”

When the Daoist of Jiutan heard this, Zhonghou's face was full of guilt.

"It's the fault of the poor road. Poor Dao was in a hurry at that time, and she left without placing Miss Chang, which caused the Fengfengyu incense burner to be broken. If Poor Dao had been following Miss Chang, he would definitely have prevented this from happening. ”
