"Hiss......"

The little eunuch was completely defenseless, and was put on a posture by Shen Lingxi, "Look for death!" ”

After all, he has some skills, even if he wastes one hand, the other hand is not dead on Shen Lingxi's neck-——

It's just that Chu Yan, who was paying close attention to their movements, how could he give him this opportunity.

Chu Yan directly burst out, kicked him out with one kick, and protected Shen Lingxi behind him.

The embroidered envoy and Yu Linwei, who were on guard throughout the whole process, rushed forward and surrounded the little eunuchs.

"Catch it alive." Chu Yan ordered in a deep voice.

A weird smile curled up at the corner of the little eunuch's lips, and there was almost no hesitation, his chin moved slightly, and black blood instantly surged from the corners of his lips.

It's just that in the middle of the change, the whole person fell to the ground softly.

The embroidered messenger stepped forward and probed the other party's snort, "It's dead." ”

Chu Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Shen Lingxi wanted to step forward to check.

But Chu Yan stretched out his hand to stop him, "You are injured, treat the wound first." ”

Shen Lingxi only felt a hot pain in his neck, and when he reached out to touch it, his hands were full of blood.

She hadn't forgotten that Chu Yan couldn't see the blood on other people's bodies. Subconsciously turned sideways and avoided the wound from his sight, "Don't look." ”

It's just that as soon as the words came out, the wound on his neck was covered with a snow-white cloth.

Chu Yan lowered her eyebrows, her eyes focused on her wound, and her bony fingers pressed her wound through the handkerchief, "Don't move, wait until the bleeding stops before applying medicine." ”

At the same time, the Queen Mother was also supported and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

"Girl, you're hurt." The Queen Mother's eyes were full of concern, and she urged the people around her, "Quick! Go to the Imperial Doctor ......"

"Mother, I'm fine." Shen Lingxi hurriedly said, "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way, just stop the bleeding." ”

That being said, the white handkerchief that Chu Yan covered Shen Lingxi's wound with his hand had already been stained red with blood.

What's more, the snow-white neckline of Shen Lingxi's robe still has a lot of bloodstains.

"Rokuro, how are you?" The queen was helped up to her, saw the blood on Shen Lingxi's body, and looked at Chu Yan nervously.

Hearing her words, the Queen Mother realized that her own emperor and grandson had a hidden disease when urinating, and she couldn't see blood on others.

"Rokuro ......"

"I'm fine." Chu Yan looked at the Queen Mother and said softly: "The imperial grandmother is frightened today, you and the queen will go back and rest first, and wait for your grandson to finish dealing with the affairs here." ”

"Okay, okay." Seeing that he looked as usual, the Queen Mother knew that she was here, and it would inevitably distract him, so she hurriedly responded, "You take care of Lingxi, and the mourning family will go back." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the queen, motioned for her to leave with her, held Gui's mother's hand, and walked out.

The queen glanced at Chu Yan worriedly, and then let the palace people help her to leave.

The ladies in the palace also followed them and walked out.

The scene also fell silent as they left.

Shen Lingxi cleared Ling Ling's eyes and looked at Chu Yan's eyebrows suspiciously.

"You...... Is it really okay? ”

She hadn't forgotten that the previous time he had been covered in blood and deliberately rubbed into his arms, he had been sick for days.

and the last time he was in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, when he was injured, he was also sick for two or three days.

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's okay, I'm not so weak." ”

Shen Lingxi saw that there was no difference in his expression, and he was a little relieved, so he looked in the direction of the little eunuch's corpse.

In just a few words, the little eunuch's soul had floated up from the corpse and returned to his own appearance.

This appearance has no resemblance to the portrait drawn by the later embroidered clothes envoy according to the description of the palace people.

It can be seen that the identity of "Gui Sheng" is also disguised by this person.

He himself is mediocre in appearance, except for his thin body, whether it is bone appearance or facial features, he is very decent, and he will not be remembered if he is thrown into the pile.

Such a look is indeed not easy to leave flaws in disguise techniques.

The female ghosts present, as well as the souls of the other emperors in the tomb, floated around him one after another, all looking at him with curiosity.

The soul of the little eunuch, after a short period of dazedness, looked down at his body, and gradually adapted to his dead identity.

He raised his head, looked at Chu Yan with gloomy eyebrows.

But the line of sight was cold, and Shen Lingxi was facing each other.

Shen Lingxi curled his lips at him.

With such a look, Chu Yan pressed her wound, turned around, and looked at her line of sight.

It's just that Chu Yan doesn't have the ability to see ghosts after all.

The focus of his gaze was only a void somewhere in mid-air.

In contrast, the two -

"Can you see me?" The little eunuch looked at Shen Lingxi and asked in surprise.

Almost every ghost who encounters Shen Lingxi will ask the same thing.

There were also a lot of Yu Linwei and embroidered clothes envoys at the scene, and Shen Lingxi naturally would not answer him on such an occasion.

The female ghosts present couldn't hold back their curiosity, and they answered for her:

"She is the 'Heavenly Master' given by your Great Zhou Emperor, so she naturally recognizes you."

"Young man, what enmity do you have against the Queen, and why did you assassinate her?"

"You're really capable, how did those three snakes get here? How did you escape the internal guards? Your internal guards in Da Zhou are really not very good, and they are being played around by your little eunuch. ”

"You are a eunuch, how can you have such skills, and you can be disguised, tsk, you have great talent, you just died like this, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

The little eunuch frowned, very impatient with these chirping female ghosts.

Seeing that Shen Lingxi didn't answer, he couldn't help but feel resentful when he thought that if she hadn't resisted unexpectedly, maybe he wouldn't have to die.

"Ignore me?" The little eunuch smiled sympathetically, "I heard that ghosts can ask for their lives, so I'll try you." ”

After saying this, he didn't pay attention to the expressions of the people around him at all, and rushed directly towards Shen Lingxi!

Shen Lingxi looked at him strangely.

There are no surprises –

Just when he floated to the place where Shen Lingxi was a foot away, everyone saw his whole soul, "bang", like a leather ball, and was bounced out fiercely.

The female ghosts hadn't seen such a scene for many years, and they all showed a sigh of embarrassment.

"I thought he was smart, but I didn't expect him to be a fool."

"It's not good to mess with anyone, if you want to mess with a little girl, I really don't know whether to live or die."

"Hey, I don't know where I was bulleted, and there are a lot of things, but I haven't asked for a result......"

The female ghosts chattered as if no one was talking.

Ke Yuan was still following them, and the souls of the Imperial Tomb who were curious to join in the fun, when they saw this battle, they all showed a look of horror, and after a few moments, they disappeared!

Whether it is the underworld or the yang world, it is all silent in an instant.

Shen Lingxi's gaze finally withdrew from a distance, and whispered to Chu Yan: "He was bounced away by you, I'm afraid that he won't be able to come back for a while, let's do an autopsy first, the origin of this person is not so simple." ”

Chu Yanmo's pupils were slightly deep.

The other party will not be bounced away by the evil qi around him for no reason.

The only explanation is that he must be like the previous Yang Shuangwen, and he will do it first to Shen Lingxi.

It seems that before the soul of the little eunuch disappears completely, he must not let Shen Lingxi leave his side.

*

The ceremony of the mausoleum was interrupted, and the emperor, empress and empress were all frightened to varying degrees.

In addition, the previous deputy commander of Yu Linwei made Dong Bixin was driven back to the capital by the emperor, although now the internal guard is temporarily managed by the embroidered envoy, but this time there is such a big mistake, the embroidered envoy will inevitably be suspected of negligence.

Although the emperor did not blame the embroidered envoy, the ministers were worried about the safety of the imperial driver, and they all asked for their lives, hoping that the emperor could drive back to Beijing.

The emperor went out of Beijing this time, originally for Zhang Luo Chuyan's family affairs, only to hear about Shen Lingxi's actions in the palace, and heard that Chu Yan personally treated her wounds, his expression was as usual, and he did not trigger the old disease, but he also secretly recognized this family affair in his heart.

So, the emperor readily agreed to the request of the hundred officials, and immediately ordered Chu Yan to stay and deal with the case, and together with the queen mother and the queen, he drove back to Beijing.

Shen Lingxi sent the royal driver away with Chu Yan, and then went to the room where the little eunuch was mortified to perform an autopsy.

Mu Huai'an and Su Xian were already waiting in the room, and with them, there was another powerful embroidered envoy beside Chu Yan.

Shengye obviously just arrived at the imperial tomb, looking like a dusty servant.

As soon as he saw them, Shengye stepped forward to report: "The subordinates went to the inner chamberlain to check Gui Sheng's file, and also interrogated the people of the inner chamberlain, they said that although Gui Sheng entered the palace as a child, he has been guarding the mausoleum with the old eunuch in the emperor's mausoleum, and when the first emperor came to the mausoleum eight years ago, Gui Sheng served with all his heart, and won the blue eyes of the high prince beside the first emperor, and brought him back to the palace. ”

"I heard that at that time, Father-in-law Gao wanted to recognize him as his godson and let him retire for his old age, and he gave him a lot of dignity in the palace. It's just that later he had a serious illness, and after he got well, his head always couldn't remember things, and he served in front of nobles, and made several mistakes, and Gonggong Gao had to give up. ”

"Father-in-law Gao also took care of him, transferred him to Taimiao, specializing in trivial matters related to temple sacrifices and mausoleum sacrifices, and was very familiar with the officials of Taichang Temple, and he was very appreciative of the inner attendants and Taichang Temple, so he took advantage of the loophole in this ceremony."

Chu Yanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Have you ever checked, what did he have with the Chengen Mansion and the queen's mother?" ”

"There is no holiday." Victory over evil returns.

While the two were talking, Shen Lingxi had already walked to the body of the little eunuch.

She groped in front of the little eunuch's corpse and said in a low voice: "It's useless to check Guisheng, because he is not Guisheng." ”

As she spoke, she directly tore off the human skin mask on the little eunuch's face, revealing his own face.

Several people in the room looked at the little eunuch's face in unison.

Perhaps because he wore a human skin mask all year round, the little eunuch's face was paler than his dead soul.

Nobody knows.

Shen Lingxi groped around him and found a lot of porcelain vases of different colors from his body.

She opened the porcelain vases one by one, put them on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, and the more she sniffed, the more solemn her expression became.

"What did you find?" Mu Huaian looked at her and asked.

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly, he was silent for a few breaths, and said slowly: "Some of the medicinal powders in this porcelain bottle can control snakes, rats, insects and ants, which are unique to Yunjiang, and cannot be obtained by non-Yun Kingdom mortals. ”

The dead soldiers of the Cloud Kingdom are the killers cultivated by the royal family of the Cloud Kingdom, and they are the best at assassination.

"You mean, he's from Yunjiang?" Mu Huaian asked in surprise.

Shen Lingxi didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it, "Yes." ”

She stretched out her hand and tore open the placket of the little eunuch's chest, and sure enough, she saw that there was a spiritual snake tattoo on his chest.

"This is a mark unique to the dead of the Cloud Country, and there can be no mistake." She paused, "As far as I know, when Emperor Lu died six years ago, he sent all the dead soldiers around him to protect Yun Chong, the crown prince of Yun Kingdom. It's just that I don't know if there is any festival between the Chengen family and Yun Chong, which will make him ruthless to the queen next time. ”

Mu Huai'an frowned, and said thoughtfully: "My father was ordered to lead the troops to fight the vanguard, and even broke the four cities of the Yun Kingdom, so that the army of the Yun Kingdom would be defeated and retreated. ”

The corners of Shen Lingxi's lips lightly hooked up a mocking arc.

Her straw bale brother, who is obsessed with the sound of dogs and horses all day long, is a dou who can't be helped, he is all over his body, and even his hair is not related to the words "national hatred and family hatred".

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." She meant something to the point.

Sheng Xie listened from the side, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he whispered to Chu Yan, "Your Highness, this person deliberately made so many movements here, could it be related to the 'one' guarding the tomb?" ”

As soon as Shen Lingxi heard this, he knew that Shengyi was referring to the little aunt.

Her heart pounded twice, and she hurriedly pretended to examine the body, lowered her eyes, and hid the emotions in her eyes.

And a pair of ears were all on the edges, listening to the conversation between the two.

Chu Yan sighed for a few breaths and ordered: "Send more people to be stationed outside the Shouling Palace, from now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Shouling Palace without Lone's order." ”

Victory over evil should be done, turn around and go to arrange.

Shen Lingxi frowned slightly invisibly.

It seems that the little aunt was indeed hidden by Chu Yan in the Shouling Palace, but now that the identity of this little eunuch has been found to be related to Yunjiang, I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy to be good.

Shen Lingxi forcibly suppressed the worry in his heart, and carefully examined the body of the little eunuch, and found nothing suspicious.

Because of the involvement of Yunjiang, Mu Huaian said directly: "Fortunately, the imperial car has not gone far yet, so I will catch up with Haosheng and ask my father if there is any intersection with the prince of Yunguo." ”

Chu Yan bowed his head, thought about it, and said: "After asking clearly, you don't have to come back, we will leave tomorrow, and we will see you in the capital." ”

Mu Huaian knew that the matter was important, and nodded.

Su Xian, who was on the side, heard this, and said: "That's right, tonight is the night of the full moon, and it's best to overtake the souls of the dead, so let's set up a super magic circle tonight and send those souls away." ”

Shen Lingxi hesitated for a few breaths and nodded.

*

After the female ghosts saw the excitement of the mausoleum ceremony, some of the dead souls became uninterested in this human thing.

Hearing that Su Xian was going to overdo it for them, he simply agreed.

Liu Meiren and a few female ghosts, but they still wanted to stay in the world for a few more days, and Shen Lingxi let them go.

In the middle of the night, Shen Lingxi helped Su Xian send away a group of dead souls and rested in the side hall separated from Chu Yan by a wall.

A busy day made her go to bed early.

When he was about to fall asleep in a daze, an urgent urging voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Little girl, little girl, wake up, wake up."

"Something happened to Xiao Langjun next door, wake up soon......"
