After Su Qingmo's body recovered, the capital was peaceful for a long time, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Muyuan of Wu'an sealed the pen, and in the middle of the unitary time, the invited ministers and their families walked into the palace where the banquet was held.

The queen's health has not been good, so the work of presiding over the palace banquet was divided between Su Qingmo and the princess Gao of Chu Xiang Wang Mu Yuan Chu, Su Qingmo could only give the Gao family some hands because of his lack of experience.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao said to Su Qingmo: "Sixth brother and sister, let's also sit at the table." ”

Su Qingmo nodded slightly, and the two walked to their respective positions and sat down, with Mu Yuanjing and Mu Yuanchu in between.

Not long after he sat down, Su Qingmo heard Mu Yuanchu ask Mu Yuanjing, "Why hasn't the eighth child come yet?" ”

Mu Yuanjing picked up the tea on the table and didn't answer.

"Sixth brother, let me ask you."

Mu Yuanjing put down the teacup and glanced at him, and said with a dull expression: "I don't know." ”

Mu Yuanchu was blocked and was about to have a seizure, Princess Gao held down his arm, Gao glared at him, and Mu Yuanchu had to press down.

A few people were talking, only to hear the voice of the eunuch singing from outside the hall, "The emperor has arrived." ”

Emperor Wu'an Mu Yuancheng followed the chief eunuch Fu Lu and walked in, sat down in the position of the head, and after politely greeting the minister, Emperor Wu'an announced the start of the palace banquet.

The ministers frequently raised their glasses to compliment Emperor Wu An's achievements in the past year, and Emperor Wu An was in a good mood, just when the atmosphere was harmonious, a man walked in from outside the hall.

The man was wearing a dark jade-colored brocade robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his face was fair and handsome, but there was a yin owl light in his eyes.

The man stood at the head of the imperial case and said in a deep voice: "The younger brother is late, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin." ”

He did not give a reason for being late, and he was very arrogant.

Mu Yuanjing put down the wine glass in his hand, lifted his eyelashes, looked at the man in the center of the hall, and stood up.

"I don't know why the Eighth Emperor Brother is late, can you tell this king?"

Mu Yuanyi's gaze moved to the left, looking at Mu Yuanjing, and did not make a sound.

Mu Yuanjing then said lightly: "I don't know if the reason why Princess Anping failed to come to the banquet is the same as the Eighth Emperor Brother. ”

Since Mu Yuanyi returned to the capital, Princess Anping Mu Yuanrou rarely left the princess's mansion, and Mu Yuanjing guessed what she was plotting.

Mu Yuanyi smiled coldly, "Sixth brother, don't you think you have a lot of questions?" ”

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and Emperor Wu'an, who was at the top, said steadily: "Since the Eighth Emperor Brother is here, let's sit at the table." ”

He didn't bother to pay attention to Mu Yuanyi at all.

After Mu Yuanyi entered the table, a little eunuch ran out from behind the screen behind Emperor Wu An, and the little eunuch said something in Fu Lu's ear, Fu Lu looked startled, and hurriedly whispered to Emperor Wu An: "Your Majesty, something happened in the harem." ”

Emperor Wu'an's expression was cold, thinking that a concubine had caused an accident, and said impatiently: "Leave it to the queen to deal with." ”

Fu Lu swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to say it, but there was no room for delay, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "It's Liufang Palace"

Emperor Wu An suspected for a moment that he had misheard, "Where is it?" ”

This time, Fu Lu answered much more smoothly.

"Back to the emperor, it is the Liufang Palace where the former concubine lived."

Liufang Hall is the residence of Emperor Chengde's concubine Li Wan, Li Wan was originally the daughter of ordinary people, was welcomed into the palace by Emperor Chengde at first sight, and was crowned as a concubine in one step, at that time Emperor Wu'an was not born, he was born after Li Guifei gave birth to Mu Yuanrou, so as the first child of Emperor Chengde, Mu Yuanrou was quite favored.

In Emperor Wu'an's limited memory, Concubine Li Guifei never fell out of favor, no matter what she did, even when she killed the second child of the queen mother at that time and the current queen mother, Emperor Chengde did not blame her.

Emperor Chengde was quite faint in the matter of Concubine Li.

It was not until the year before Emperor Wu'an ascended the throne that this situation changed, because Li Guifei suddenly died in the Liufang Palace, hanging herself in the dormitory, and there were no traces of his murder at the scene and on the corpse.

Concubines can't be buried in the imperial mausoleum by themselves, and after Concubine Li Guifei died, Emperor Chengde, who favored her, only ordered to 'find a place to bury it', and there was no more expression.

At that moment, Emperor Wu'an was at a loss, he didn't know whether the emperor was ruthless, or Emperor Chengde, as the emperor, was ruthless.

The memories of the past made Emperor Wu An a little distracted, and he didn't come back to his senses until the voice of Fu Lu asking what to do with it came to his ears.

Looking at the people in the hall, Emperor Wu'an calmly instructed Fu Lu: "Let them disperse, leave the King of Linchuan behind." ”

Fu Lu said what Emperor Wu An meant, and although everyone present was puzzled, they still left according to his words.

Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo walked at the back, and when they were about to raise their feet and walk out of the palace gate, Fu Lu caught up from behind and called softly: "King Linchuan, please stay." ”

Mu Yuanjing stopped, Fu Lu trotted in front of him, bowed down and said, "Lord, princess, the emperor, please move the two of you." ”

The two followed behind Fu Lu around the screen and walked into the inner hall, Emperor Wu An was already waiting there, Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo were just about to salute, but they were stopped by Emperor Wu An and said, "No need to be polite." ”

Mu Yuanjing straightened up, looked at Emperor Wu'an, and asked silently.

Emperor Wu An said to Fu Lu: "Tell the king and princess of Linchuan." ”

Fu Lu stepped forward and told him what he had learned not long ago.

"Lord Wang, princess, in the middle of the palace banquet, a little eunuch came to report that something happened in the Liufang Palace, and someone saw Concubine Li in the palace."

Mu Yuanjing frowned lightly and looked at Emperor Wu'an, "Brother Huang, the person Fu Lu said is the most favored concubine Li Guifei by his father and emperor in the past?" ”

Emperor Wu An nodded, and there was a rare hint of joke in his words, "I have never had a concubine in my harem. ”

Su Qingmo didn't know who Li Guifei was in their mouths, so Mu Yuanjing told her about it.

Emperor Wu An glanced at her with a smile and said to Mu Yuanjing: "I heard that your princess has helped you a lot. ”

With a smile on his face, Mu Yuanjing admitted: "Brother Hui, the princess not only helped the hermit Ya a lot, but even the poison on the courtier's body was solved by the princess's heart's blood. ”

Emperor Wu An only knew that Mu Yuanjing's poison had been detoxified, but he didn't know the specific detoxification process.

After hearing Mu Yuanjing's words, his face was solemn, and this time he looked at Su Qingmo's gaze softened a lot, and a sentence similar to a promise came out of his mouth.

"Princess Linchuan has done a good job, and I can protect the Su family."

Su Qingmo's heart beat slightly, the thing she had been most worried about had been solved, and she gratefully blessed Emperor Wu'an.

Emperor Wu An did not delay any longer, and led the people to stride in the direction of the sedan chair parked outside the hall.

On the way, he asked Fu Lu, "Is there guards guarding the Liufang Palace?" ”

Fu Lu trotted next to the sedan chair and replied, "It has been arranged, please rest assured that the emperor." ”

Emperor Wu An nodded, and did not forget to instruct: "Suppress the news, and it must not reach the ears of the people in the harem, including the queen." ”

Fu Lu whispered.

The location of the Liufang Palace is in the north of the entire palace, and Emperor Chengde would rather spend more time on the road than move Li Guifei's residence closer, so Li Guifei has been living in the somewhat remote Liufang Palace since she entered the palace.

The sedan chair walked for a stick of incense, and several people came to a majestic palace, there was no burning wax in the hall, and the whole palace was dark, like a monster that wanted to eat people.

Su Qingmo stepped down from the sedan chair and followed Mu Yuanjing and Emperor Wu'an into the Liufang Palace, and the three of them walked into the hall one after another, and no one noticed that the door behind them had closed silently.

Fu Lu was a step behind, and was instructing the guards not to let the news get out, but he was blocked from the door in this short time.

He pushed the immovable door hard, and said to the guard beside him, "Go in." ”

A few guards climbed over the wall and opened the latch from the inside, and Fu Lu walked in with the rest of the guards, only to find that the palace was empty.

The guards began to search all the rooms in the Liufang Palace, but there was no trace, and Fu Lu did not dare to leave, so he had to wait in place.

Emperor Wu'an, Mu Yuanjing, and Su Qingmo disappeared out of thin air.

Among the three, Su Qingmo was the first to notice that something was wrong, she subconsciously looked up at the sky when she realized that the door behind her was closed, and then she reached out and grabbed Mu Yuanjing in front of her.

"Lord Wang, something is wrong with the situation."

Mu Yuanjing stopped, and Emperor Wu An also stopped, Su Qingmo pointed to the sky above her head, and the eyes of the two followed her fingertips.

The night sky is like ink, not to mention the moon, not even a few stars are missing.

Emperor Wu An clearly remembered that he had clearly seen the moon on the way to Liufang Hall in a sedan chair, and the situation in front of him made his face a little solemn, and he muttered: "This is"

Su Qingmo said softly: "We have entered 'her' world, and what is presented in front of us is what 'her' wants us to see. ”

Emperor Wu An believed Mu Yuanjing's previous words this time, Su Qingmo should have really helped Yin Shiya a lot.

Mu Yuanjing asked aloud, "What should I do about the current situation?" ”

Su Qingmo stared at the dark inner hall and said in a very low voice, "Don't worry, it will appear soon." ”

As for what soon appeared, she didn't say.

Soon after the words landed, the inner hall, which was still dark, suddenly lit up, and the entire Liufang Hall became brightly lit, and the sound of walking sounded around it, but there was never half a figure in sight.

Su Qingmo waited quietly for a while, and after finding that nothing else had happened, he took the lead and walked in the forefront, Mu Yuanjing reached out and tried to pull her behind him to protect her, but she refused.

"Lord Wang, now only I can solve these situations, don't worry, I know it in my heart."

Mu Yuanjing had no choice but to let go and instructed, "Be careful." ”

Su Qingmo nodded, and took out a porcelain vase from her sleeve, after so many things happened, she always habitually carried some ghost exorcism utensils on her body.

She uncorked the bottle, poured out all the crimson pills in the bottle, put them in the palm of her hand, clenched the palms of her hands, twisted the pills into crimson powder, and then took out a piece of white silk handkerchief, using the red powder as raw material, and drew complicated incantations on the handkerchief, and she let go after the spell culture was good.

The silk cloth did not fall to the ground, but staggered and fluttered, first a faint wind supported the silk cloth, and then the wind began to increase, blowing the silk cloth high all the way to the inner sanctum, where the candles were burning.

Su Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the spell was a success, but in fact, she didn't dare to guarantee that it would have an effect when she was painting, after all, the silk handkerchief was not as good as the rune paper.

For the first time I saw the anomaly, Wu An Diqi said: "What did you just do? ”

Su Qingmo didn't hide it, and said honestly: "Back to the emperor, my brother and daughter-in-law just drew a simple soul search talisman, and the ghost in this hall somehow did not appear, and my brother and daughter-in-law need to find a way to find her, otherwise we may be trapped here for the rest of our lives." ”

There is a sentence Su Qingmo lied, the ghost is not to show up, but not to show up, Emperor Wu'an is the Ninety-Five Emperor, the golden dragon on his body is strong, if the ghost is not careful, it is very easy to be hit by the soul scattered.

The three of them followed behind the floating silk handkerchief, and were led all the way into the hall, and after turning a few corners, the silk handkerchief fell down in front of a closed door, and Su Qingmo knew that the ghost's hiding place had been found.

She picked up the silk handkerchief on the ground, and after getting up, she didn't rush to open the door, but asked Mu Yuanjing behind her in a low voice: "Does the prince know what this room is used for?" ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't answer, Emperor Wu'an's face beside him tensed, and he lowered his voice and said, "This is the dormitory where Concubine Li lived before her death, and it is also the place where she hanged herself for the last time. ”

As soon as Emperor Wu An's words were finished, a gust of yin wind blew behind them, and the purple gold bell that Su Qingmo hung on his waist and never reacted rang.

Su Qingmo quickly pressed the purple gold bell, his eyes were fixed on the door, and he said with a slightly awe-struck expression: "I'm going to open the door." ”

After finishing speaking, she gently pushed open the closed door, and after the door was opened, the three of them found that the dormitory was empty, but the purple gold bell had just rang not long ago, which made Su Qingmo dare not relax his guard.

Just as she was looking at the environment in the hall with her eyebrows, a pair of legs suddenly fell from the sky, hung down in front of the door, and broke into the sight of several people.

Su Qingmo took a step back in shock, Mu Yuanjing pulled the person into his arms very quickly, and Emperor Wu'an's body on the side also stiffened for a moment.

Su Qingmo was in Mu Yuanjing's arms, calming down his somewhat disordered breathing while looking up along the leg hanging in front of him.

A face with wide-eyed eyes, bleeding nose and eyes, and a tongue sticking out appeared in front of her eyes.

The feet shook slightly in the air, and Emperor Wu An naturally saw the face of the hanged man, although he was not afraid, his voice was still uncontrollably tight, and he said a name.

"Li Guifei"

As soon as Emperor Wu An's words came out, the person hanging in front of him disappeared, and then a woman's voice that seemed to cry and laugh came from outside the hall.

Su Qingmo broke away from Mu Yuanjing's arms and ran outside, just ran to the courtyard, the voice came from another place, Su Qingmo continued to look for it, and went around like this, as if playing hide and seek for a long time, the three of them stopped outside a house some distance from the dormitory.

Su Qingmo breathed heavily, because there was a fishy breath in her throat after running for a long time, she swallowed a few times before she eased a little.

This time, Mu Yuanjing didn't let Su Qingmo open the door again, he insisted on pulling the person behind him, and then pushed the door open.

Although it was not like the dormitory just now, a pair of legs suddenly appeared, but the scene that the three of them saw was more terrifying than just now.

I saw that in a small house, there were densely hung corpses, most of them were palace maids, and there were three or four eunuchs among them.

Dozens of feet swung in the air, swaying slightly.

Su Qingmo looked at the room without blinking, and was so frightened that he forgot to react, until the woman's laughter he heard before came from behind him.
