The emperor stood in front of the door of the palace with his hands in his hands, looked at his bedroom with a gloomy expression for a moment, and then turned around, the expression on his face had become sharp, and his gaze slowly fell on Gu Xi's body.

Although this kind of gaze has been sharpened, it can still make people perceive the feeling of needles and needles in the back. If it were an ordinary person, he would feel panicked and uneasy, and his body was like chaff, but this person was Gu Xi, the tranquil smile on his face had never changed, he calmly stepped forward, and after saluting him elegantly, he said lightly: "Please allow Your Majesty to inspect the traces of the 'ghost' in the lower palace." ”

"Can you really exorcise demons?" Gonggong Xu couldn't help but squint at him, and said with extreme disdain in his tone: "Even a group of monks can't dispel this worshipping ghost. ”

"How can my father-in-law determine that this is really a ghost? Have you seen the ghost with your own eyes? The corners of Gu Xi's lips hooked up a faint smile, his voice was soft, but the words that were similar to questioning made Gonggong Xu speechless, he really didn't see the ghost with his own eyes, he couldn't open his eyes and say nonsense, and deceive the king in front of him, it was a big crime to kill his head.

Gonggong Xu was speechless by what he said, stared at Gu Xi and stood aside, panting secretly.

Yun Yanlong slowly raised his lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he said slowly: "Gu Xi can not only solve the mystery of blood characters, but also have extraordinary talents." Then he raised his hand and beckoned two little chamberlains to lead Gu Xi into the dormitory, and asked them to follow and obey Gu Xi's instructions.

It wasn't until Gu Xi's lonely figure fell into the bedroom where the dragon and phoenix were carved that Chu Ruirong narrowed his eyes slightly, he had been watching the changes, not wanting to get too involved in this matter. First, in this extraordinary period when the emperor's mind is sensitive, he should be alone to avoid suspicion; The second is that if Gu Xi can solve the ghost mystery case again this time, he will make a recommendation, if Gu Xi can't do it, he must first think of a way to get out of the whole body.

There is indeed a risk of gambling in this recommendation, but when he weighed the merits, he had calculated the pros and cons. If he can share the worries of Kyoto's predicament for the emperor, his position in the emperor's heart will naturally be further and more stable; If he does nothing and misses the opportunity of this crisis, although his position will never be changed easily, he will definitely be inferior in the emperor's heart, which is equivalent to giving others a chance.

As for whether Gu Yan could do it, he was not very worried, he just cared about Yun Yanjin's admiration for this person, and Yun Yanzheng's somewhat unusual attitude towards this person.

In the moment when Chu Ruirong's thoughts swept slightly, Yun Yanlong and the others in the courtyard had already seen Gu Xi open the incense burner, pick up some powder with a ruler and put it on the white silk, and did not smell it, just wrapped it and put it on the table and ignored it. He looked intently at the layout of the dormitory, ignoring the gazes of outsiders, as if he was the only one left in the world at the moment, and the rumors of the "ghost appearing in the middle of the night" looked at each other in this huge palace. At night, the dormitory is naturally about to close the door, and how does the "ghost" pass through the palace gate and enter the room to be scary?

Gu Xi casually picked up the ruler and tapped it on his palm again and again, the stratus clouds in his eyes rolled over, and he carefully examined the two palace doors and windows, and then his eyes were fixed on the highest part of a palace door. There was a slight crack on it, and it was the shade of the place, and if it weren't for his excellent eyesight and his intention to look for it, others would not have easily noticed the slightest crack in the paste, and gently opened and closed it as his hand pushed the door.

The two accompanying little chamberlains followed his gaze with a confused expression, and when one of them saw his movements and the crack on the paper opened lightly, Wenxiu's face gradually showed shock and fear.

There are any damages in His Majesty's bedchamber, and they have not noticed the slightest notice of their daily care and cleaning, which is not a light crime.

Gu Xi didn't pay attention to the pale face of the little chamberlain, and only raised the ruler in his hand and tapped it again and again with dark energy on the wooden lattice ridge on the palace door. Because the distance was too far, others couldn't see the trembling of the door leaf in his secret energy, but when it knocked on the fifth blow, he used a ruler to lightly cut a crack on the door paper, and a suspicious black shadow immediately appeared where the paste paper was scratched, Gu Xi's eyes were dark and light, but his lips were slowly filled with a relieved smile.

The people in the courtyard were only attracted by his suddenly cautious and relaxed look, but they could not see what his intentions were in these actions.

He handed the ruler back to the little chamberlain beside him, dusted off his shirt lightly, and walked out with his sleeves. He walked slowly in front of the emperor, smiled slightly, and said gently: "May I ask Your Majesty, have you been unable to sleep at night in recent days, and strange dreams have happened one after another?" Have you ever seen a bright blue ghost floating in the temple in the dark, but the lamp does not appear? Have the people in the palace who have been possessed by ghosts once talked nonsense, and now they are obsessed and unconscious? ”

After Gu Xi's words, he saw the look of shock flashing in Yun Yanlong's eyes, but the emperor quickly returned to his usual demeanor.

Yun Yanlong bowed his head slightly, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Gu Xi is really quite capable, and what he says right now is true." "He was awakened by nightmares every night, and he had never mentioned the ghost to anyone, and the dream of the past few days was even worse, even the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial doctor was useless. And after this young man surveyed the dormitory, he was able to see all kinds of situations as if he had seen them with his own eyes, and I don't know what the reason was?

Gonggong Xu, who was not far away, glanced past Gu Xi's gaze, but it seemed to have a slightly impetuous gloom.

Yun Yanlong didn't believe in the legend of ghosts and immortals, but the nightmare that came overnight was especially vivid, and after all, it made him feel some fear in his heart. Now that he looked at Gu Xi, there was a difference in his gaze, and his face became more and more relaxed: "Since Gu Xi can see the strangeness in this, there must be a way to cure ghosts." ”

Gu Xi really lived up to his expectations, and smiled lightly: "Back to Your Majesty, there is naturally a way." It's just that these ghosts can not only penetrate the wall and possess the body, but also have strong mana and smart ears and eyes, so the method of curing ghosts is naturally not suitable for public. ”

As a superior person, the emperor is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people in this kind of power scheme, and immediately ordered: "Commander Chu and Gu Xi will accompany him, and the rest of the people will all stand in place and not move for half a minute." Then he ordered the forbidden army to defend all parts of the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, otherwise they would be killed.

In the dormitory, after serving the tea, Xiao Nei respectfully retreated to the courtyard outside the door, not daring to walk one more step without permission.

The doors of the temple were closed, and only two windows were left to let in some bright sunlight.

The majestic emperor sat on the main seat, and Chu Ruirong hung a sword at his waist and a long jade body stood aside to defend him. Yun Yanlong's gaze immediately fell on the incense ash wrapped in white silk on the case, his eyes were gloomy, and he asked, "Gu Xi, is the smoke in this incense burner poisonous?" ”

Gu Xi shook his head slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the spices in this incense burner are not highly poisonous, and they are not very harmful to people for a while, but it can attract ghosts." When he said this, a look of clouds appeared in his eyes, but the curvature of the corners of his lips was extremely soft, this smart look made him look as if a wisp of soul was vividly revealed from his eyes, and that unattainable temperament suddenly made people feel imminent, and once again made the eyes of the person in front of him vibrate.

"Summoned a ghost?" Yun Yanlong's heart fluctuated, his face became deeper in the shadows, and his voice was a few points colder: "How do you say this?" ”

Gu Xi smiled softly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to summon a ghost here, and the matter will naturally be clear at a glance." ”

Chu Ruirong's heart jumped suddenly because of his words, his left hand slowly clenched and stopped not far from the hilt of the sword, his eyes looked at Gu Xi even more fiercely, and said in a low tone: "Why did Brother Gu recruit ghost techniques?" In front of the emperor, you must not be deceitful. ”

Gu Xi smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Commander Chu doesn't need to be too nervous, this is just a little ingenuity in the minds of those conspirators, and this matter should be seen with one's own eyes to make people understand the motives of the conspirators better, not to mention that it is difficult to convince people if there is no basis in his mouth." Moreover, if you want to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, how can you get out of this deep palace compound surrounded by the forbidden army? What's more, with my friendship with Prince Heng, I can't even affect the lives of more than 100 people in his palace under any circumstances. ”

His well-organized voice resounded in the silent dormitory, and it was loud.

Although Chu Ruirong was a little suspicious of his friendship with Yun Yanjin, he was afraid that he couldn't easily murder the emperor in this ten-sided ambush, but he had always been cautious, and he was afraid of some so-called dead men with different aspirations, so he did not hesitate to use his body.

Yun Yanlong suddenly remembered the spy report he had seen recently from King Heng's mansion, King Heng's legs were burning and he couldn't sleep all night, and the man in white stayed with him all night. What is Yun Yanjin doing here? Is it really ridiculous to be idle, what kind of fetish? His eyes quietly inspected Gu Xi in the hall, and he only felt that this person had a beautiful color, noble eyes, and a detached temperament.

This is not impossible, the so-called groundless. Otherwise, the spy reports in King Heng's mansion will not be frequently reported as "special pets", and even beauties such as King Yi's Che Shui will not be able to enter the eyes of Prince Heng.
