Well, now who poisoned the emperor already has a big suspect.

But only poisoning the emperor can't break the dragon vein.

Elder Cao glanced at Shi'er and took a step forward.

The concubine's body stiffened for a moment, and she slowly turned her head. Seeing a person suddenly appear silently behind her, her eyes widened in horror.

"You ......" This is not an ordinary woman after all, she immediately calmed down and did not shout loudly.

Of course, what she is doing now is also something that is not visible, and yelling is not good for herself.

"Are you ......" there was a hint of disgust and horror in her tone, and more caution: "Who asked you to come?" ”

Qiuqiu was slightly stunned.

Elder Cao's way of appearing is definitely not a way that ordinary people would have. When the concubine saw such a supernatural phenomenon, she didn't shout ghosts, but asked, who asked you to come.

What does this mean? The concubine must have dealt with people who were not ordinary people, and the relationship was unusual.

Could it be that she did all this, and someone was manipulating her behind her back?

Elder Cao remained silent: "Are you done?" ”

Sure enough, it was the reaction of the old rivers and lakes, and he really didn't treat himself as an outsider. He said this as if someone had sent him. The purpose of the concubine in doing these things may really be able to find out.

The concubine glanced back at the coffin and replied to Elder Cao, "The emperor still has a son alive...... But he also suffered from the same peach blossom poison as the emperor. From a year ago, when the emperor was seriously ill, in order to show filial piety, he had to taste the emperor's decoction, even if the poisoning was not as deep as the emperor, it would be delayed for a few more months at most......"

Elder Cao usually smiled like Maitreya Buddha, but now with a straight face, it looked a little terrifying in the dim light.

He kept his face so straight and silent, and the concubine was a little flustered: "Please also ask your envoy to tell His Holiness that the third prince will definitely rush back to the capital to ascend the throne this month, and I will find a way to do it again when the time comes, and I will definitely be able to kill him." ”

The poison was indeed planted by her.

Elder Cao finally nodded slightly.

Someone is really manipulating the concubine. Listen to the meaning of her words, even the poison was given by the other party.

Her deferential attitude towards the visitors was astonishing. She is already a concubine, judging from the conversation between the queen and her just now, the emperor must have doted on her very much, and when the emperor was still alive, she could fight against the queen and even suppress the queen.

With her status, she was so respectful to this so-called Venerable and the subordinates sent by this Venerable.

Either she has a fatal handle in the hands of these people, or the existence of these people is above the imperial power.

Qiuqiu thinks that both reasons may be possible.

"Your envoy?" Seeing that Elder Cao squinted slightly, as if thinking about something, the concubine tentatively took a step forward.

Elder Cao's eyes widened, and the essence in his eyes was so startled that the concubine hurriedly took two steps back, and her back was on the emperor's coffin.

"Don't misunderstand, I just want to ask your envoy."

Elder Cao suppressed his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I have already done everything His Holiness has commanded. But now the queen is powerful, and Chen Guozhang is out to deal with it...... I alone cannot shake them. I wonder if His Holiness can ......"

"His Holiness has his own opinion on this matter."

The concubine hurriedly lowered her head: "Yes, yes." ”

Elder Cao accepted it when he saw it, and if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that there would be a mistake and arouse the suspicion of the concubine.

When the concubine raised her head, she found that the person in front of her just now had disappeared from her eyes.

She was shocked, looked left and right, and called softly twice: "Your envoy? Your Excellency? ”

After waiting for a while and not listening to anyone's response, she let out a long sigh of relief, and as if she had pulled out her bones all at once, she sat down on the ground softly against the coffin, and raised her hand to cover her face.

Qiuqiu heard her let out a dry laugh.

No, not laughter, it's crying.

The voice still makes people's hearts hairy.

But now no one dares to take her crying or laughing seriously. Just now, she cried in front of the queen so much that she was heartbroken, and she looked like she was already insane. But in a blink of an eye, people became calmer than those bystanders, making all the old fellows who cultivated immortals have a feeling that they have been sucked in by themselves.

The concubine didn't stay here for long, she pushed the lid back into place, and staggered out.

Elder Cao touched his beard, and he couldn't see that the smiling fat elder was also very good at acting, and he successfully got a lot of words from the concubine.

"Peach Blossom Poison?" Elder Cao frowned and pondered, "Peach Blossom Poison? What kind of poison is this? ”

As the saying goes, medicine and poison are not separated, Elder Cao is in charge of herb cultivation, he knows herbs, and of course he also has a certain understanding of poisonous herbs and poisons. But this peach blossom poison sounds familiar, but if you think about it carefully, you can't figure out the origin.

Where have you heard of it?

Elder Cao also knew several kinds of strange poisons that could quietly poison people for four or five years before they were killed. But none of them have anything to do with peach blossoms.

It seems that this trip to the palace was not in vain.

Several people discussed it for a while, and decided to separate people to monitor the concubine, since someone was behind the instructions to manipulate her, then now when the net is about to be closed, if those people appear, they can find the mastermind behind the scenes. This person wants to exterminate the royal bloodline, and the severance of the dragon vein must have nothing to do with him.

Elder Cao and Guan Wei all the way, Shi'er and Qiuqiu all the way, acted separately. Shi'er laid a lot of talismans in the palace, and Qiuqiu followed to help. With so many array talismans placed in completely different directions, Qiuqiu, a person who doesn't understand anything, can only judge that this formation should be the result of the Seven Star Array's changes, but she has no clue how it changed.

Shi'er's fingers clicked in the air, and the wisps of stars disappeared into the dark night, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shi'er laid out the formation, turned her head and asked, "Are you tired?" ”

Qiuqiu shook her head.

"Then I'll take you somewhere."

Qiuqiu followed him with some doubts.

Where else to go?

They walked all the way southeast along the palace wall, and when they came to a deserted palace courtyard, Shi'er said, "This is it." ”

The door was hidden, and when it was pushed, it opened.

This is Si Tianjian.

Not far from the back of this courtyard is the observatory.

Usually, this place should be a Qingshui Yamen, and there are few people. Now that the war is in chaos, no one can take care of it.

Shi'er took her hand and walked up to the observatory.

The stone platform is very flat and wide, and the ground is uneven, and the astrological charts are carved.

This is an extremely mysterious thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is common in the eyes of Shi'er and Qiuqiu.

"This should be the highest place in the entire palace."

Shi'er brushed her hair, pointed underneath and said, "Look." ”

Qiuqiu looked in the direction of his finger.

The Imperial Garden is at their feet.

They couldn't see clearly when they were in the garden just now, but now they jumped out of the game and saw everything. Lakes, rockeries, and forests all look very small and exquisite, and the palaces in the distance are next to each other, and the dark and heavy roofs are connected.

"Can you see anything?"

Qiuqiu didn't know what Shi'er wanted her to see, she just honestly said how she felt.

"It's neat...... It's just that the traces of artificial stacking are too heavy. ”

Shi'er nodded.

"Yes, these lakes and rockeries are all done by manpower, and it should be that a painter first drew the pattern, and then spent countless manpower digging out the lake and filling in the mountains......"

It's not a secret, Qiuqiu certainly understands.

But why did Shi'er tell her this?

While they were on the way, he also asked her to look down on the earth, just as he did now......

Qiuqiu had a vague guess in her heart, but, but......

She looked up at Shi'er.

"No, right?"

"How could it not?" Shi'er turned his head.

"The emperor sits on the country, and can mobilize countless manpower and material resources to create such a garden for him. How do we know that this river and mountain, not someone has drawn the pattern, split the stone for the mountains and rivers, and the land for the rivers? ”

"That ......"

Only immortals can have such abilities, right?

And then what? Qiuqiu still doesn't understand.

She understands the metaphor of Shi'er, and is currently skeptical.

If the land where she grew up, this mountain and river did not grow like this, but was deliberately arranged by the gods, what did the gods want to do?

It is understandable that the emperor made such a royal garden, and people are trying to enjoy it. Ordinary people want to beautify their living environment, so it's a big deal to raise a few pots of flowers on the balcony, and maybe even get two pots of bare thorny cacti to raise in order to make a living. The emperor had the privilege of building himself such a large garden, covering an area of tens or even hundreds of acres.

Immortals don't want to build a garden for themselves, do they?

No, no, Qiuqiu suddenly thought of something.

What did she and Shi'er discuss that day?

Yes, they're talking about seals.

Where does the Demon Domain exist, and why is there such a problem as a rift?

She felt like she had grasped the point...... However, it is still very vague.

Shi'er drew a few times in the air, and the lines of the glitter of nothingness became coherent.

"Look, this is a mountain range in the far north of the Central Plains." He didn't stop and kept drawing.

There is also such a mountain range in the extreme south, as well as rivers running through the Central Plains, and the paintings are all mountains, rivers and lakes.

These mountains and rivers usually look either majestic and towering into the clouds, or rushing straight down and majestic. But now Shi'er has removed all the appearance and branches, and only the trajectory of the flat lines has been retained.

In the end, only these minimalist lines appear in front of you.

Shi'er painted a large map in this way, just like the formation map he had drawn the Sealed Land that day.

Qiuqiu's eyes widened.

Don't......

Could it be that the mountains and rivers where she grew up and lived are themselves a huge formation?

This...... How so?

If this is really a formation......

When he first saw the Sealed Land, Qiuqiu had such a thought in his heart - maybe this was the largest and most complicated formation in the world.

But what about the one in front of you now? RS
