Liu Meiren and the two concubines looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I haven't seen it, after those black threads are wrapped around our souls, we can't move, and the man in black is hiding in the dark, not to mention his appearance, but he hasn't even seen his body."

Liu Meiren said, seeing Mu Huaijie floating out of the side hall, she glanced at Shen Lingxi.

One person and two souls stopped with a tacit understanding.

Mu Huaijie didn't notice anything unusual, and floated straight to Shen Lingxi, "The fairy spirit on my brother's body, have you used the Yin Yin Jade to expel it?" ”

"There is news from you, that Yin Jade is really useful, and it has been expelled." Shen Lingxi said politely.

The tone sounded a lot kinder than last night.

Such an attitude made Mu Huaijie's heart slightly relieved.

He was about to say something more—

Suddenly, Ning Fu, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, walked into the courtyard with Gonggong Cao, who was beside the emperor.

"The crown princess, last night the cold palace went to the water, and the emperor was worried that there might be evil trouble, so he ordered the old slave Xuan Niangniang and Su Xiandao to enter the palace together to do supernatural rituals."

Shen Lingxifu said, "Please wait a while for your father-in-law, change your clothes in the palace, and enter the palace with your father-in-law......"

*

Half an hour later.

Shen Lingxi changed into a Taoist robe and followed Gonggong Cao into the palace.

Before leaving, she secretly glanced at Liu Meiren in front of Mu Huaijie, and then left them in the East Palace under the pretext of letting them rest.

He also took out a brocade box from the secret compartment of the dormitory and put it in his sleeve pocket with great importance.

Mu Huaijie knocked on the side and asked her if the brocade box contained the Yin Jade.

After receiving Shen Lingxi's exact answer, Mu Huaijie's eyebrows and eyes were much more relaxed.

He was originally floating on Shen Lingxi's side and entering the palace gate with Shen Lingxi.

But before Shen Lingxi was about to arrive in the cold palace, he was nowhere to be found.

Shen Lingxi saw his soul shadow and floated away, curling his lips invisibly.

The cold palace has been burned to the ground because of the water last night.

Shen Ji led his internal guards to line up a human wall outside the cold palace, enclosing the entire ruins solidly.

More than 20 charred corpses were lifted out of the burned main hall and placed in the open space.

There were many attendants and palace maids who looked inside outside, and they also connected their ears and whispered.

"I heard that many people were sent to the palaces to put out the fire last night, and even the queen sent someone to help."

"I also heard that if the palace people of Kunning Palace hadn't rushed into the main hall to save the previous master of the Furong Palace, I am afraid that they would not have been buried in the fire so easily."

"Hey, it's really miserable, the one in the Furong Palace, who is dead, has to drag such a large group of people to die together."

"Let's just say, the master in this palace is still the most merciful of the queen's mother, what kind of master, what kind of subordinates, those people under Concubine Yue, but they are very fine, no one wants to move forward, God pity these people in Kunning Palace, good people are not good to repay ......"

Shen Lingxi followed behind Gonggong Cao, listened to the discussions of those palace people, and lowered his eyes.

On the way here, Gonggong Cao had already told her that the reason why Zhao Guifei couldn't stand the torture of the cold palace last night was because Zhao Guifei couldn't stand the torture of the cold palace, so she overturned the candle flame and burned herself to death in the dead of night.

For so many years, in the Great Zhou Cold Palace, only Zhao Guifei was imprisoned.

She looked for death, but she still dragged the attendants and palace maids who came to fight the fire to die together.

And those palace people who died kindly fighting the fire happened to come from Kunning Palace.

In this way, Kunning Palace has a good reputation, and Zhao Guifei was a poisonous concubine who was poked in the backbone until her death.

Only Shen Lingxi knew that the pampered Zhao Guifei, in order to live to see the Ten Princes grow up, even if she was thrown into the dark water prison of Beiya, she endured the cold and biting ice water every day, and the torture of snakes, insects, rats and ants, she never looked for a short time.

The cold palace is nothing compared to the water prison in Beiya.

Zhao Guifei will not die easily, and the corpses carried out in the courtyard are all people who were secretly ordered to be executed by the emperor that night.

And now, without exception, they don't even have a soul left.

"Gonggong Cao, do you have an edict from the emperor? The emperor ordered Benhou to bring people to stay here, but not everyone can enter. ”

Shen Ji's voice reached Shen Lingxi's ears, interrupting her contemplation.

She raised her eyes and saw the scumbag father, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, proudly stretching out his hand in front of the two of them.

Shen Hou laughed. Father-in-law Cao reminded with a smile, "Hello, let's take a look at who this is." ”

Shen Ji's gaze slowly glanced at Shen Lingxi, "It turned out to be the crown princess." ”

He scribbled and perfunctorily bowed to Shen Lingxi, with a look of scorn, "The minister is clumsy, I didn't see that it was the crown princess, and I asked the mother to forgive me." ”

Shen Lingxi looked at him with a smile, "Shen Hou is old, and it is common for him to be deaf and dazzled, and this palace will not worry about Shen Hou."

Shen Ji sank his face, and a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

He moved his lips, but he still had some scruples, and turned sideways.

Gonggong Cao was taken aback by the tense atmosphere between the father and daughter, and hurriedly took Shen Lingxi into the courtyard.

Shen Ji had a gloomy face, and followed behind them, one hand pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist, with a murderous aura all over his body.

"Daochang Su's side, I have already sent someone to invite him, he should be on the way here, should the princess start first?" Gonggong Cao respectfully asked.

Shen Lingxi smiled.

No matter who invites you at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to find Su Xian.

She said lightly: "If the Taoist chief doesn't come, I can't do this Fa thing, so I'd better wait for him." ”

Shen Ji sneered, with a hint of contempt on his face.

Shen Lingxi turned his head and glanced at him.

He said calmly: "Shen Hou has kept the filial piety of the old ancestor for a few months, and he doesn't see how much he misses the old ancestor, but his temper is rising. This palace thinks that at your age, you should still pay attention to your body. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion is now a holy family, and people live for a lifetime, and the word "honor" is the most real only when they live and enjoy. ”

When Shen Ji heard this, his face changed instantly.

"You're cursing me to death?" He asked in a deep voice.

Shen Lingxi smiled lightly and was silent, but that look was clearly saying, "You said it yourself, I didn't say it." ”

Shen Ji gritted his back socket with hatred.

Gonggong Cao has lived a long time, and he has never seen any kind of person in this palace.

But like Shen Ji, he can't scold, and he is still in a hurry to find scolding, this is the first time he has seen it.

Gonggong Cao really didn't see it, and reminded, "Shen Hou, why don't you go to the courtyard to guard?" Niangniang has received the emperor's order here......"

Shen Ji snorted coldly, turned around and walked out in a huff.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi walked leisurely to the row of corpses.

She lifted the white cloth covering the corpse on the edge and looked over it.

Even though the corpses had been burned to black charcoal, Shen Lingxi could still see at a glance the strangled collarbone between their necks.

Such an injury, if there is a work to examine it, can be detected, this is a corpse that was strangled and then burned.

But because it was a firefighting incident in front of everyone in the deep palace, there were internal guards guarding the outside and no one was allowed to approach.

With the acquiescence of the emperor, the cause of death was whatever it wanted.

Of course, this was before Shen Lingxi came.

Today, since they rushed to let her enter the palace, they still put on such a show, and asked her to come and "do it".

Shen Lingxi naturally wouldn't let their hard work be in vain.

She glanced at the palace people who were surrounded by the three layers of the outer head and the outer three layers, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, and slipped out of the sleeve A very thin silk thread wrapped around the little finger of the corpse.

Then, he stood up, paced, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

She had just stood in front of the ruins of the main hall when she heard an exclamation from the crowd—

"Ah, look! Those charred corpses actually stood up on their own! ”
