Coming out of the Cheng'en Mansion, Shen Lingxi told Chu Yan everything he found in the secret room.

Now that she had learned from Old Madam Xie's soul that the most likely place for Urda to go, she naturally wanted to rush over as soon as possible.

It's just that this time, Chu Yan no longer let her ride a horse.

"Since Urda can escape from the siege of the black guards, it can be seen that no matter how many people you bring over, it is very likely that he will be able to escape with the disguise technique and Zhu Yushu, it is better for you and me to dress up in disguise, and we will meet him for a while."

He took Shen Lingxi back to King Ning's mansion, and ordered someone to send two sets of clothes and change them with Shen Lingxi.

Chu Yan is still pretending to be a plain-clothed Confucian who has no power to restrain chickens.

And Shen Lingxi combed his hair in a bun, his earrings were pearls, and his eyebrows were pretending to be a bride.

The two stood together, looking like a pair of rich idlers who had nothing to do and went out to incense.

Not only them, but even the embroidered envoys and black armor guards all changed into the clothes of the family.

As soon as he went out, Shen Lingxi saw Mu Huai'an wearing a plain white robe, waiting outside the gate of the mansion with one person and one horse.

The blood on his face had been washed away, and his long figure was as straight as a pine.

The person is still the same person.

But after all the things last night, his peach blossom eyes were dyed with a little pain and a lonely silence.

Ordinary people can't accept that their loved ones have become murderers.

What's more, it has always been loyal to the imperial court and jealous of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Your Highness, please take me with you. In any case, I will bring Urda to justice with my own hands. He saluted Chu Yan.

Chu Yan glanced at him and was not surprised by his appearance, "Let Chunjun take you to change your appearance first, and then follow." ”

After that, he got into the carriage with Shen Lingxi.

On the small table in the carriage was a vermilion food box full of various kinds of fruits.

Shen Lingxi glanced at randomly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's all her favorite flavors.

In the small red clay stove on the side, the tea soup is bubbling and simmering, the tea fragrance is overflowing, and the warmth is melting.

Chu Yan sat down, ordered tea with his hands very naturally, and put the tea soup in front of Shen Lingxi.

"Taste it. Qiao Xing said that the tea soup cooked in this tea cake is your favorite. ”

After getting along for so long, Shen Lingxi knew that he always liked to pick up vegetables for others, and now that he saw him cooking tea himself, he was not as flattered as he was at the beginning.

She thanked her politely, didn't shirk, and took a sip.

It is indeed her favorite tea.

Chu Yan saw her eyebrows stretched, and then took out the fruit plate in the food box and pushed it in front of her, "Chunjun said that you didn't have a meal in the morning, so make do with eating some first." ”

After he mentioned this, Shen Lingxi was really a little hungry, thanked him, and took a small bite.

Shen Lingxi lived in the deep palace for a long time in his previous life, and he was always admonished and reminded by the internal officials, and he had already developed the habit of eating in the palace in his bones.

She didn't look away, chewed carefully, and didn't make a sound.

Even the tassels on the hairpins in the hair never shook.

Chu Yan drank tea, and his gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over the beads between Shen Ling's rhino hair.

Previously, she had been dressed as a kun dao or a man, and she couldn't see much difference.

But today, she is dressed as a woman, Chu Yan knows very well that even palace people who have been in the palace for three or five years cannot do this.

He thought about what Chunjun said to him when he was changing his clothes just now-

"The crown princess's riding skills are very good. You didn't see it, but she took a shortcut through the alley, and she didn't slow down, which is called a bravery. If she goes to play polo, no one can catch up with her. ”

Before the age of thirteen, a stupid little peasant girl, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't easily touch such a thing as riding.

What's more, it can also gallop like a fly in the alleys of the capital......

Thinking of this, Chu Yan's eyes drooped slightly, and his finger bones lightly grinded the rim of the cup.

There are too many mysteries surrounding Shen Lingxi.

When he first met, he always wanted to find out about them.

But now, he didn't want to ask, guess, or investigate.

He just wanted that one day, she would be able to tell him herself.

Only in this way can it be regarded as heart-to-heart.

Shen Lingxi naturally didn't know what the person on the other side was thinking.

She had eaten and drunk to her heart's content, and the carriage had driven out of the capital smoothly and quickly.

Through the curtain, Shen Lingxi saw Mu Huai'an, and at some point, he had already followed on horseback.

He had a beard on his face and changed into coarse cloth clothes, and he looked like he had changed.

But even so, Shen Lingxi believed that Urda, who was good at disguise, could easily see his true face.

She held the white porcelain teacup in her fingertips, looked at Chu Yan, and asked puzzledly, "Why did His Highness allow Mu Shaoqing to go with us to arrest Wuerda?" The 'intoxication' on his body, the medicinal power is still there, and it is most easy to be controlled by Zhu Youshu, once he is bewitched by Urda again, and he is a killer, it will be ......"

"He needs this opportunity to atone for his crimes." Although Chu Yan's tone was indifferent, he secretly cared: "It is best for him to catch Urda with his own hands." ”

Shen Lingxi was a little puzzled by what this "best" meant.

Mu Huai'an is the eldest son of the Mu family, if something happens to the Mu family, how can he be alone?

"What Chun Jun said when he was in the secret room just now, but is it true?" Shen Lingxi pondered and asked: "Those servants and maids, did you really hear that Mu Shaoqing was in the secret room and said that he himself 'killed his grandmother'?" ”

She paused, and was puzzled, "But the old lady clearly said that Mu Shaoqing was not under the control of Urda, how could she follow Urda's instructions and say such things?" ”

Chu Yan listened to her words and never left "Mu Shaoqing", put down the tea cup in his hand, and pinched his eyebrows lightly with his finger bones.

"When the servants and maids found Pei, he was just holding a murder weapon, leaning against the wall in a daze, and never said anything." He explained quietly.

Shen Lingxi smiled dumbly, "No wonder Chunjun squeezed his eyebrows at me, I still think it's strange." It turned out that His Royal Highness deliberately asked Chunjun to lie...... It is a great deal of foresight for the old lady to reveal the truth in such a short period of time. ”

When she laughed, her eyes were clear and pure, and her words were full of praise for Chu Yan without hesitation.

finally made Chu Yan's heart iron a lot.

He said lightly: "No matter whether the old lady commits suicide or kills him, she will never let Pei Zhi bear the responsibility of killing her grandmother, if she has an alliance with Urda, she will definitely rebel because of this." ”

"Things are indeed as His Highness expected." Shen Lingxi thought for a while, "But if the old lady is more vigilant, she will be able to detect flaws." ”

"If you care, you're messy." Chu Yan said lightly: "The interrogation of this kind of thing is to take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack his heart. ”

That's true.

Shen Lingxi is also used to using this method.

She said sincerely: "In this case, according to the results of my re-autopsy, it can be determined that the old lady committed suicide, and Mu Huai'an's innocence can be restored." ”

"You care about him." Chu Yan said with a smile.

Shen Lingxi nodded as a matter of course: "He has also helped me a lot before, and I should help him, they are all friends, His Royal Highness doesn't care about him, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to the Guogong Mansion after going to the court, and ordered someone to block the news of Shaoqing's murder." ”

Chu Yan was noncommittal.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi sighed, "It's a pity, my mother-in-law said that last night she saw with her own eyes that Wu Erda took away the letter of repentance written by Mrs. Xie. Now that everyone in the world knows that Mrs. Xie died violently at home, but they don't know why she died, it is difficult to uncover the truth about her mother-in-law's death through this matter......"

"What does Your Highness plan to do with this matter?"

Chu Yan turned his head to look out the window, and his gaze fell on Mu Huai'an.

"If you let the old lady write a letter of repentance, you will not take it for no reason." His voice was cold, "He cast a net in Da Zhou, how could there be only one fish in the Mu family." Since he wants to do a chain game, then solve him with this chain game. ”

"Now this matter involves the king of Yunjiang and the Mu family...... There should be more than these two families, all those involved in this matter must pay the price, only in this way can I return justice to my mother. ”

Shen Lingxi followed his line of sight and also looked at Mu Huai'an.

She intended to curry favor for Mu Huai'an in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Mu Shaoqing said that he noticed that your promise was injured last night. According to Mrs. Xie, he should be hiding there. As long as you can catch him this time, you can catch them all. ”

"I hope so." Chu Yan said with a light smile.

*

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped slowly at the foot of Huguosi Mountain, in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple.

This Taoist temple is called Yuquan Temple, it is said that in the previous dynasty, there was a spiritual spring in the temple, which can cure all kinds of diseases, so it got its name.

However, after the fall of the previous dynasty, the spring in the temple was destroyed, and this Taoist temple gradually fell into disuse.

Later, there was a Taoist doctor who passed by here, settled down, changed the vacant land of the Taoist temple into a medicine house, planted herbs, and hung a pot to help the world, so that the name of Yuquanguan had a little fame in the capital.

Shen Lingxi has always collected corpses for people, while Yuquanguan is to save people.

Therefore, although she knew the name of the Yuquan Temple, she had never dealt with the Taoist leader of the Yuquan Temple.

As Mrs. Xie said, the hiding place of Urda is this Taoist temple-

"Ten years ago, Urda made friends with the master of this Taoist temple, Zhengyang Zhenren, he is good at using poison, and there are a lot of useful medicinal materials planted in the medicine house of the Yuquan Temple, and if I have something urgent to find him, I also asked the master to bring him a letter, no matter what, the master of the Yuquan Temple must know where he is hiding."

Because of the evil qi on Chu Yan's body, the soul of the dead would be bounced away, so before Shen Lingxi decided to come to Yuquan Temple, he invited Xie Zhangting and Xie Zhanghua to come here with the old lady first.

Because of this, when Shen Lingxi wore a hat on his head, held Chu Yan's hand, and stepped down from the carriage-

The two Xie sisters were already waiting for them at the gate of the Taoist temple.

"There is a soul-locking magic circle in the side hall, we don't dare to approach, the old lady's soul has been accidentally sucked in."

Xie Zhanghua said: "No matter where you go, you will set up this magic circle, presumably he must be in it." ”

Shen Lingxi nodded sharply, leaned over to Chu Yan's side, and told him about it.

Mu Huai'an was beside Chu Yan, so he naturally heard it.

"I'll go in through the back door and spy on it." As he spoke, he turned and headed for the back door.

"Let's go in and see." Chu Yan naturally took Shen Lingxi's hand, the two glanced at each other, and walked in tacitly.

As soon as they entered the door, a Taoist boy who was about eleven or twelve years old greeted them and saluted them: "Two donors, my family has been in retreat for these two days, and I can't treat people, so please come back another day." ”

Chu Yan had already expected such a situation, took out a jade plate from his sleeve and handed it to Dao Tong.

"I also asked the Taoist to hand over this thing to the master, and said that Lin was a friend of the old man of the master, and there was really no way to come here to see the master, please be sure to treat the inner son."

Dao Tong hesitated, took the jade plate, turned around and trotted towards the main hall.

Shen Lingxi lowered his voice and asked through the curtain, "Your Highness knows the Lord here?" ”

"I don't know." Chu Yan knew the doubts in her heart and explained: "That jade plate is a token of the Zhengyin of the Daolu Division, and the Taoist temples of the Great Zhou are all under the jurisdiction of the Daolu Division. No matter what kind of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are contained in this Taoist temple, they dare not give the face of Daolu Si Zhengyin. ”

"Clever." Shen Lingxi said with sincere admiration.

Sure enough, it's officialdom.

She has cultivated the Dao for so many years, and she really doesn't know that the name of the "Daolu Division" can come in such a use.

After Dao Tong went to Tongyu, he quickly turned back and respectfully led Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi to the side hall.

Coincidentally, the side hall that Dao Tong led them to was the one that Xie Zhanghua had pointed out to Shen Lingxi at the door.

The windows of the side hall were closed, the hall was dim, Shen Lingxi was wearing a hat, and it was difficult to see the situation in the hall through the veil.

As soon as he entered the hall, Shen Lingxi smelled a familiar aroma lingering on the tip of his nose.

It's "intoxicated"!

Shen Lingxi subconsciously pinched Chu Yan's palm.

"Intoxication" is medicine but not poison, and there is no antidote.

She could only follow the previously discussed code to remind Chu Yan to be careful.

Chu Yan's finger bones tapped the back of her hand twice, signaling her to rest assured.

"Please wait a while, the Lord will be here soon." Dao Tong saluted the two.

Chu Yan took Shen Lingxi's hand and sat down in front of the armchair next to the side of the hall.

In order to make his vision clear, Shen Ling simply took off his hat and looked around the hall quietly.

As she expected, there were some black clay shards stacked in the four corners of the side hall.

Those clay pieces seemed to be stacked in a mess, but in fact, they had set up a soul-locking array in this hall.

It's really like what Xie Zhanghua said, no matter where you are, you are used to setting up this magic circle.

This side hall should be a place for the Lord to see people on weekdays, and the entire wall due north is full of lattices containing herbs.

The smell of "intoxication" was mixed with the smell of those herbs, if it weren't for Shen Lingxi's natural keen sense of smell for the herbs in Yunjiang, he really couldn't find it.

It seems that this is really a nest of Urda in the capital.

About half a cup of tea, an old man with a crane hair and a childish face, holding a whisk in his hand, walked in from outside the hall.

As soon as he saw Chu Yan, the old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted him enthusiastically: "I heard that Lin Gongzi is Peng Zhengyin's friend, and he has lost his welcome, and he has lost his welcome." ”

Chu Yan saluted him, "I brought Neizi to disturb me today, and I hope that the viewer will forgive me, and ask the viewer to heal the stubborn illness for Neiko." ”

"Well said, well said." Lao Dao responded with a smile and looked at Shen Lingxi.

At the same time as he looked at Shen Lingxi, Shen Lingxi was also looking at him.

Despite the light that came in from the temple door, Shen Lingxi also keenly saw that the part where the old Dao's hair bun and face met was too tight.

This is a flaw that can only be found when wearing a human skin mask......
