Chapter 27: The Imperial City (3)

Although the clues point to Sheng Zhaoyi, things can't be decided so early, and I'm afraid of startling the snake, so let's explore other places too, in case there are any new clues. Xia Guifan thought to himself, and then called the radiant five apprentices and went to the nearest Yongle Palace and the Forget Worry Palace Shuyu Palace.

Yongle Palace is the residence of Chen Guifei, and the Palace of Forgetting Worries is the residence of Concubine Ya, since Chen Guifei and Concubine Ya have not lost their position in the first sequence so far, it is estimated that they have not done anything, their faces have not changed, after Xia Guifan saw it, he did feel that the two concubines were worthy of the name of the national color and Tianxiang, but they were also limited to the perspective of mortals, and they were not as good as his apprentices.

During the search, Chen Guifei and Concubine Ya saw that a man actually appeared in the harem, and they all reacted the same, scolding and calling someone to arrest Xia Guifan, but when Xia Guifan gave the pass token and the identity card of the secret agent, indicating that after the search was carried out by the emperor's holy will, they all showed a pandering attitude, and then let Xia Guifan and the two of them check it through, of course, private places such as boudoirs are handed over to apprentices to search.

It is true that demonic qi has also been found in the Yongle Palace and the Shuyu Hall of the Forgotten Worry Palace, but no useful clues have been found, which can only show that the owner of the Yongle Palace and the owner of the Forget Worry Palace may be suspicious.

Xia Guifan thought that Emperor Xia had never done anything to Concubine Chen and Concubine Ya, in his capacity, he might not be able to directly interrogate the two concubines, but he could coerce and torture the subordinates in the palace, but it was obvious that Emperor Xia had not come up with clues or evidence, so he was distressed.

I used the Ecstasy Dafa to ask the responsible persons of some key places, asked if there was anything suspicious, interrogated the details of the day's actions, and also asked whether Sheng Zhaoyi had been here, and summed up two potentially useful news, first, Sheng Zhaoyi had never been to Yongle Palace and Forget Worry Palace, and second, the two concubines acted as usual, and their words were not different, and they did not see any clues.

In this way, it raises two questions.

Question 1: Since this Sheng Zhaoyi has never been to Yongle Palace and Forget Worry Palace, is there another demon person? Or more than one demon?

Question 2: The Jade Hall is a side hall in the middle of the Forget Worry Palace, why does the demonic energy appear from there, and not from the living room at the beginning? Could it be that this demon has a technique similar to the Qi Concealment Technique, but he can't cultivate at home, and he can't hide it after he arrives at the Jade Palace?

Xia Guifan frowned, and came to the Heart Cultivation Hall with questions. According to the memory of "Xia Guifan", the Heart Cultivation Hall is not a place for the harem, but a place for the emperor to meditate and cultivate his heart.

At this time, I saw that there were guards guarding the palace gate, the birds in the hall were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the clear stream was soft, there were maids and eunuchs taking care of it, and there was no one else. Xia Guifan looked at it and found that the demonic aura in the hall was very strong, especially in the creek and spring water, there was a special breath, and when he walked into each room, he found that there were different degrees of teapots, teacups, and porcelain bowls

Xia Guifan took out the teapot and poured water into the teacup, took a small sip, and felt nothing at first, but concentrated on digesting and absorbing the true gas liquid along the tea in the body, but he caught a strange feeling, although it was very small, but there was a little bit of drowsiness.

Could it be a slumber tea? He smiled, then shook his head, it was not black tea but a kind of green tea in front of him, he didn't understand tea, but it looked like a combination of West Lake Longjing and Biluochun in his previous life?

There is no problem with the tea itself, Xia Guifan does not worry about what kind of tea is, the key is that there is a problem with the water, not only the tea, but also the water in the stream and spring well in the hall.

But staying for a long time is bound to make people demented, didn't Emperor Xia find out? I didn't find it, but I guess I felt that something was wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have moved to the imperial study to rest and work.

However, as the emperor is the head of a country, his food must first go through a series of inspection procedures to verify the safety before being presented to the emperor for enjoyment.

Then, either there is a problem with the person who tested it, or there is a problem when you arrive at this Heart Cultivation Palace. The second one is the most likely, because not only the tea, but also the streams and clear springs all reveal a strange aura, this breath is not pure demonic energy, but there is a little demon power left, is it some kind of poisonous technique?

Xia Gui said to a silent fifth apprentice beside him, "Xuan'er, have you found anything. ”

Huo Lexuan shook her head again and again, "I didn't feel anything unusual." ”

"In this Heart Cultivation Palace, the demonic aura is extremely strong, and this stream and spring water, as a teacher, you can see a special aura, and you can't find it when your true yuan gathers your eyes?" Xia Guifan said suspiciously.

"Tried, but couldn't find out." Huo Lexuan still cherishes words like gold.

It seems that it is the same as that Huali Palace, the breath is applied with a clever method of concealing qi, which is difficult to detect, but the demonic aura of the Heart Cultivation Hall is so strong that even the powerhouses of the Zhuyuan Realm and the Xuandan Realm have not discovered it, how is it hidden, the means are too clever, right? Maybe the demon clan has some hidden qi principle that I don't know about Xia Guifan?

Demon Yuan Force, then it means that this hidden demon at least has the cultivation of the Yuan Realm, which is analogous to the realm division of the demon clan, at least the demon general level. Xia Guifan was thoughtful, I hope it is not a generation of demon kings, otherwise it will be too much of a loss to only bring five apprentices, if it is only the early stage of the demon king, it can still deal with one or two, but if it is the middle and late stage of the demon king, I am afraid that I can only ask for help from Emperor Xia.

Casually, the Demon King corresponds to the Xuandan Realm, the Demon Emperor corresponds to the Purple Mansion Realm, and the Demon Emperor corresponds to the Yuanshen Realm.

Several palaces have been visited, there are clues, and suspicious points have been checked, it is time to inform Emperor Xia and pass on the person who is the biggest suspect, Sheng Zhaoyi, to question.

Just when Xia Guifan left the Heart Cultivation Palace, in a mysterious space in the hall, four figures appeared, one was humanoid, and the other three were three little foxes, the three little foxes were centered on the human form, talking.

"That human seems to have spotted us?" A little fox speaks.

"Recently, the three of you have been going out less so as not to be discovered by the Terrans." A crisp female voice came from the figure.

Little Fox: "But how can you get the news outside?" ”

Woman: "No need, this palace will communicate in person." ”

Little Fox: "This ...... How can this bother the king? ”

"It's okay, this palace is naturally foolproof." The woman's face was majestic, and then she was curious: "It's that this human being is really interesting, looking at his costume, he should be a disciple of a certain sect, and it's lively now." ”

……

The next day, in the imperial study, Xia Guifan and Huo Lexuan reported the results of the search to Emperor Xia.

"The Xuanqing Sect is different, it is worthy of the emperor's uncle's sect, and the means are really extraordinary, and such important clues were found in just one day." Emperor Xia complimented him, and then ordered: "Come on, spread Sheng Zhaoyi to see me!" ”

"Whoa!" The eunuch took the order and left.
