Chapter Eighty-Six: The Secret Grid of Yaohua Palace
As soon as he walked in, he gave me a big salute and smiled.
I looked him up and down with a light smile, wearing a soldier's uniform, so not mighty, and Xiri's soft and weak appearance, it was just two people.
I frowned slightly, and then chuckled, "When I entered the palace and became an official, my sister doesn't know at all." β
Xian said excitedly, "It's only a few days, just after the emperor came back from Wuzhou Mountain." β
Ying Lin waited for the tea, and also praised with admiration on the side, "Young Master Xian looks so good in an official uniform." β
Apparently praised Myanmar bowed his head and smiled, blushing.
After laughing for a while, the hall straightened up and said to me, "Second sister, do you remember the painting you gave me when you were in Lan Ruoyuan, the person you asked my brother to investigate." β
I raised my eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "What did you find out?" β
In my heart, I probably already knew that that woman must be a subordinate of Otoku, a member of the Qingfeng Gate.
At that time, when I learned that You Ran was also from Qingfengmen, I forgot about it and didn't ask him who that woman was.
Xian said, "Brother Chen has been investigating thoroughly in private, a few days ago in a restaurant in the northern suburbs, a reckless man came in from the door of the restaurant and touched me lightly, the picture scroll in my hand fell off, that person saw the portrait on the scroll, frowned, eyes tightened.
At that time, the courtiers thought he was strange, invited him to sit down and have a glass of wine, and asked him if he knew the person in the painting.
The man claimed to be smiling, and he hesitated before saying that the woman in the painting was Li Amaranth, the right envoy of Qingfengmen, and he said that this woman had made a lot of contributions to Qingfengmen and killed many people.
It's just that later, for some reason, Li Amaranth suddenly disappeared from Qingfeng Gate, and never returned. β
Xian looked at me with tight eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Chen thinks that Li Amaranth may not have come to the mansion to assassinate Sanniang, and he is afraid of causing trouble to Qingfengmen, so he will not return to her sect." β
I lowered my eyes and was silent, my mind full of the cold look of the woman when she was about to throw me into the lotus pond.
After chuckling, he stared at me with a cold expression and whispered, "It's unimaginable, that Li Amaranth is very surprising, do you know what the younger brother has found?" β
My eyes tightened again, for fear that I would tell him to find out, but now I didn't want him to know more.
I was worried that he would find out that my mother was a slave in the second house, and I was afraid that my identity would be known.
I just looked at him with a stunned smile and asked, "What did you find?" β
Xian said slowly, "That Li Amaranth is the sister of the current emperor's biological mother, Concubine Li Yunyu. β
I was slightly surprised, quite surprised, I never thought of such an involvement.
After Xian said this, I didn't hear what to say after that, and the whole person was wandering.
Until he was about to leave, I was still in my own contemplation.
I called to him, and he turned to look at me.
"Did you ever hear that I went to the Ten Mile River and met the Assassins there?" β
Xian nodded, "Yes, my brother already knows." β
He said cautiously: "The second sister asked the younger brother to check those people?" β
I whispered with cold eyes, "No, my sister wants you to check if Gao Li is involved." β
Xian was surprised, staring at him and not understanding, "Why does the second sister suspect the eldest sister?"
The younger brother knows that the eldest sister has always been at odds with you, but she wouldn't do anything like that, right? β
He didn't believe that Gao Li would behave like this at all.
I laughed, "You're not Gao Li, how can you know what her heart is?" β
I approached him and said Mu Ran, "Even if you and Gao Li are the same mother, if Gao Li really makes a mistake, will you help me or Gao Li?" β
His eyes were dark and silent, and he couldn't answer my words.
I know he can't answer either.
Forget it, don't embarrass him, in the end, I still said, "The second sister wants you to check, even if it's her, the second sister won't do anything to her." β
Xian then left quietly.
After he left, I put Gao Li aside for the time being, thinking back to what I had just told me about Li Amaranth.
I analyze these complex relationships.
Li Amaranth is the right envoy of Qingfeng Gate, Yi Huan should be the master of Qingfeng Gate at that time, You Ran is Yi Huan's guard, and Li Amaranth is actually Concubine Li's sister.
I remembered that dream again in my mind, in which Yi Hua had visited Yaohua Palace at night to find something, and it was Concubine Li who lived in Yaohua Palace back then.
Then Yi Huan should know that Concubine Li in Yaohua Palace is Li Amaranth's sister, and what she is looking for in Yaohua Palace at night is not only related to Concubine Li, but also related to her.
However, since Yi Hua knew Concubine Li, why did he want to explore at night?
What can't you take to face Concubine Li directly, and ask in person?
I understand at this moment that what Yi Hua needs can't let Concubine Li know, maybe Concubine Li is unwilling to give it, and Yi Hua will explore at night.
So when is the year?
I calculated the time in my heart, two years after the destruction of the Yi family, Concubine Li entered the palace, and it didn't take long for Concubine Li to give birth to the current emperor, and then Concubine Li died on the principle of 'establishing a son and killing his mother'.
The time for Yi Huan to visit Yaohua Palace at night should be a certain day after Concubine Li entered the palace.
And the acquaintance between them should be before Concubine Li entered the palace.
Could Concubine Li also be from Qingfengmen?
Could it be that Concubine Li and Yi Huan are in the same group, what did Concubine Li enter the palace to explore?
Maybe Concubine Li took what Yi Hua wanted, but because of the emperor's love, she didn't want to give Yi Hua any more, so Yi Hua went to the night detective to find it herself.
But what is it?
I walked lightly to the porch and stood quietly, looking at the direction of Yaohua Palace.
I wonder if Otoki got back what she needed?
For example, if it has not been found, will that thing still be in Yaohua Palace?
I'm curious, I want to know too much, and I've figured it all out about Etobezoar.
It is time to go to Yaohua Palace to worship and worship the nobles of Lin.
I changed into plain clothes and walked to Yaohua Palace surrounded by slaves and maids.
The main hall has been placed on the mourning hall of Lin Guiren, and no one came to worship.
Dong'er lit good incense for me, and I bowed sadly and offered incense to Lin Guiren.
"Go all the way, I hope to be happy in the next life."
Tears welled up in my eyes.
I said to Dong'er, "This palace wants to look around in Yaohua Palace, you don't have to follow." β
Dong'er and the other slave replied respectfully, "Yes." β
I strolled through the Yaohua Palace, casually looking at each hall.
Yinglin has been following her, and I didn't let her follow.
I recalled the room that Yihua had been to in my dream, which should be the side room of Yaohua Palace, and I walked to the door.
After contemplating for a moment, he said to Ying Lin in a slow voice, "You just wait here, and this palace will go in and take a look." β
Ying Lin said yes and watched me push the door open and walk in.
Once inside, I closed the door and searched around every corner of the house. It's a study, and I'm rummaging through every place, thinking of as much as I can hide things.
Until I knocked on a landscape painting on the wall, I felt that there was a dark grid behind the painting.
I opened the painting, and there was a dark grid on the wall behind it.
I opened the compartment and saw a wooden box inside.
I smiled with satisfaction and pulled out the fist-sized wooden box. Then restore the painting to a good place.
I looked at the box carefully, and thought I could open it, but it was solid.
I tucked it up my sleeve and hurried back to my bedchamber.
I didn't let anyone bother me, sat in my inner room and took a good look at the box.
Boxy, somewhat heavy, and solid.
I put it under my nose and smelled it, and it smelled fresh.
I watched it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
(Author: I can't describe this thing, it's like the Rubik's Cube now.) οΌ
This square box has some fine lines on the four sides, and the horizontal and vertical lines are crossed to form a nine-square grid.
But I don't know exactly what such a thing is, and what it's used for.
I couldn't see the clue for a long time, so I had to put it away.
I was stunned for a while, I don't know if this is what Itoki was looking for.
I seem to have a lot of things from Etozoa, but what is the use of these things?
Xiao Jingqi wondered if he would know a little bit of these secrets?
It was night, I had not slept for a long time, lying in bed in a daze, feeling like I was spinning in the deep mountains and woods, the forest was so big that I couldn't get out.
It was hot, his head was sweating, and his clothes were in tatters from thorns in the woods. I was hungry, I felt like I hadn't eaten in a long time, I was dizzy, and everything in front of me was blurry.
I don't know if I fainted from hunger, or if I had walked too much and was exhausted, I fell to the ground. I vaguely felt that someone was feeding me water, and I barely opened my eyes, and I saw a handsome man helping me to feed water. I opened my eyes hard, it was Tuoba Hong!
He put his arms around me and fed me the water from the water bag into my mouth.
Seeing that he was so good, I excitedly reached out and touched his face, and said anxiously: "Don't leave me, I'm afraid!"
Tuoba Hong's face was not good, but then he smiled, "Don't worry, I won't leave you." β
Seeing his smile, I was finally relieved, and then fainted again.
When I opened my eyes again, I actually saw myself in Mengxian Residence, standing under the tree in the courtyard of Mengxian Residence, looking at the road stretching out into the deep mountains and forests, I was uneasy, I was waiting for someone.
Yes, I'm waiting for someone, I'm waiting for Ji Yu, waiting for Ji Yu to come back. He's been gone for half a month and hasn't come back yet, I'm thinking about him, I really want to see him. Suddenly I felt a blow to the back of the head, and I fainted again.
I woke up again in a daze, whether I was sleeping on the bed, I looked around the house, or in the dream fairy house, just in my room. It seemed to be dark outside, the house was lit with lights, and there was no one around. Ji Yu is not here, Qingyan is not here, where have they gone?
I got up, pushed open the door and walked out, it was pitch black outside, only the lantern hanging in the hallway shone slightly. Walking outside Ji Yu's room, I heard someone talking inside, I calmed down, poked open the window paper with my fingers, and gently looked inside, and saw Ji Yu, Xie Rin, and Qingyan were all there.
They didn't speak loudly or softly, Ji Yu seemed to be saying to Qingyan, "In a few days, it will be the Chrysanthemum Festival in Yangcheng, Qingyan, how were you preparing that day?" β
Qingyan replied: "Everything is ready, the subordinates at the banquet have been practicing for a long time, please rest assured, Your Highness." It will definitely make that person come and go. β
"That's good, you do something, this king can rest assured."
What are they talking about, I don't understand, it's like talking about the Chrysanthemum Festival. Just as I was looking down and hesitating, I suddenly felt a strong wind coming, and then I heard a dull voice, "Someone!" β
There seemed to be a figure pouring out of the room, and before I could see who it was, I fainted again.
When I opened my eyes again and saw that I was lying on the bed in Zhaoyang Palace, I realized that I had dreamed of many scenes in a daze last night.
Those scenes were things that I had experienced but had never remembered, and I remembered them all at this time.
I sat on the bed and was stunned, at that time in front of the courtyard of Mengxian Residence, I was waiting for Ji Yu to come back, who knocked me out behind me?
Qingyan, it seemed that there were only me and her in the Dream Immortal Ju at that time, why did she knock me out?
Thinking of Qingyan, after coming out of Mengxian Residence, he only saw her once on the streets of Pingcheng, and she was with Feng Dan, the son of the Feng family.
After I washed up, I sat at the table, ate very little, and some of the tastes were not good.
After Zhu Yan ordered the slave maid to clean up the dining table, I called Zhang Xinpu.
He bowed his head before me.
I glanced at him lightly and ordered, "Go and check if the woman next to Feng Dan, the son of Master Feng, is named Qingyan." β
Zhang Xinpu glanced at me and didn't ask anything, just replied to me immediately, "The slave understands, so I'll check." β
Imperial Physician Jia obeyed the emperor's will to treat my head disease. From the application of the needle to the removal of the needle, he was very respectful and did not speak until he had finished everything, and suddenly said casually, "The noble man is like a person whom Weichen has seen." β
He said something seemingly random, but it seemed to be said to me deliberately.
I said with a smile: "What is Imperial Doctor Jia talking about?" β
In fact, I have already guessed the meaning of his words in my heart, and he must have seen Yihua back then.
Imperial Physician Jia was stunned, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, "Weichen may not remember it very well, maybe he is wrong." β
I smiled slightly, making the atmosphere relaxed and not making him nervous, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Jia just said that this palace looks like another person, didn't he?" β
Seeing that I was asking seriously, Imperial Physician Jia straightened his face and replied to me gently, "Yes." β
"Who is it, come to the palace to listen."
I don't know anything, I want to learn about Yi Hua from the mouth of Imperial Doctor Jia.
Imperial Physician Jia lowered his voice, and said cautiously, "It was the second year of Huangxing, the first emperor offered Emperor Wen to go to the northern Yinshan to inspect the border, and Weichen also followed the convoy, at that time, the concubine who accompanied the first emperor was only Concubine Li, Concubine Li went out for a walk in the Yinshan Palace, lost her way, and then a woman sent Concubine Li back, at that time Weichen was picking some herbs on the hillside, and the woman saw the people in the court and sent Concubine Li to Weichen, and then left.
Wei Chen remembered that the woman's face was very similar to that of Rong Guiren.
Wei Chen had a special impression of the woman, because of a sword in the woman's hand, and the ornament hanging from the sword handle was a jade unicorn, and the minister remembered that he seemed to have seen the jade unicorn somewhere, so he deliberately took a serious look at the woman's face.
But the woman didn't say anything, and after sending Concubine Li to the minister, she didn't say a word, turned around and left. β
Imperial Physician Jia looked at me as he spoke, and whispered, "When Wei Chen saw the appearance of the nobleman, he was very surprised, it was really very similar to the woman back then. β
I pretended to listen casually, and after he finished speaking, I smiled faintly, "Okay, this palace heard, this palace has nothing to do with the woman in Imperial Doctor Jia's mouth, I hope Imperial Doctor Jia will not mention these things in front of others in the future." β
Imperial Physician Jia frowned, a little afraid and said, "Weichen understands that ministers will not say these things casually, don't take what the ministers said just now, don't take it to heart." β
I waved my hand at him indifferently, "Stand down." β
Imperial Physician Jia gave the salute and withdrew with his medicine compartment.
As soon as he stepped out the door, I stood up and stared blankly at the doorway he had walked by.
Jia Mingyiββ
I whispered the name of Imperial Physician Jia in my heart.
Concubine Li has been to Yinshan Palace, and Yi Juan has also been there, this is the information that Imperial Doctor Jia just gave me.
So back then, in the Yinshan Palace, did Concubine Li really go out for a walk and get lost, or did she go to see Yi Hua in the mountains and forests?
