"I guess I've been affected by a monster!" Li Huaiyun said.

"Obviously, this locust tree must be some kind of monster,"

When the wooden kite heard this, he shook his head, "Impossible! How could this locust tree be a monster? When I was a child, my mother and I always enjoyed the shade under this locust tree. ”

"You've figured it out, whether there is one! Because the smell of this locust tree can make people feel self-conscious, as if you were asleep at that time, but you thought you had come to the dormitory. ”

The wooden kite was stunned, and she also began to doubt that part of her memory was real?

"Then what kind of monster is this locust tree!"

"It's not clear about this, but if you look into the liquid on that glove, you might be able to find out."

Li Huaiyun stood in front of the trunk of the tree and pressed it lightly with his hand, "After this servant girl was hit hard in the chest, she was swallowed up by this locust tree. ”

"It didn't take long for this locust tree to be disposed of and turned into a real locust tree, so the corpse in the body was also preserved in this way, as for why the face got old, there should be another reason."

"In short, being able to process a monster into a real locust tree, I'm afraid this person's Taoism is quite profound."

Yan Zheng also had nothing to refute such an explanation, and he directly questioned, "Motive! What is the motivation? ”

"Find the lady who died of illness and escaped the death penalty... That person, we know right away, what the motive is. ”

"But how do you find that?" Wood Kite asked, "Didn't you say before that you can't just come and look for them one by one." ”

"Yes, if we really searched like that according to our previous speculation, I'm afraid we would have gone in the wrong direction a long time ago!"

"What does that mean?" Yan Zheng asked, "Could it be that this identity is wrong?" ”

"Yes!" Li Huaiyun explained, "This is the most important discovery in the autopsy! ”

He pointed to the corpse on the ground, "You see, as I said before, the corpse's lungs have been hit hard, and from the hollows of the lungs, this person has a deep internal strength that can penetrate the skin and attack the lungs. ”

"Actually, this excludes eunuchs to a certain extent! Because of physical factors, it is difficult for them to have such internal strength. ”

"Who could that be?"

Yan Zheng also thought of it, and blurted out, "The guards of the dormitory or the guards on patrol." ”

"Yes! Judging from that list, the biggest possibility is the guards of Qihua Palace, they can go to the palace, they must have a certain foundation in martial arts, as long as they practice diligently, they can still reach this level, he must kill the palace maid to kill his mouth, and he doesn't want people to know his identity. ”

"Therefore, the person who makes this kind of rune paper is actually to clear away the grievances."

The wooden kite asked a little excitedly, "Then how can I find the guard?" ”

"Do you have a plan for the palace?"

"What do you want drawings for?" The wooden kite asked strangely.

"Based on the location of the incense burnt and the talisman paper, you can probably know where the guard is hiding."

Yan Zheng and Mu Kite are both curious about this, and can they also determine the hiding place by the location of the incense burnt and the rune paper? I've never heard of anything like this myself, so I'm quite curious.

Yan Zheng called his attendant and asked him to get the drawings of the palace, he turned his head and asked, "Li Gongzi, what is your way of judging?" ”

Li Huaiyun beckoned to them and pointed around, "Look around, the pavilion in the center of the lake, the four walls, the border of the entire lake, and the structure of those rockeries, is it somewhat similar to the layout of the entire palace." ”

"It seems that this person is putting incense in this dormitory, but in fact, he is marking it at the designated location."

Yan Zheng frowned, "This is outrageous, I can't explain it!" ”

The wooden kite agreed, and she didn't quite believe this explanation, "Is it possible that this is just a coincidence!" ”

Li Huaiyun said the reason for his conjecture, "No! It's not a coincidence, someone did it on purpose! ”

"Deliberately?"

"Yes! It's actually a kind of seal, just like the last time we were in the north of Kyoto, in the widow's house and in the temple, to keep people from approaching. ”

The kite shouted in an angry tone, "What the hell is that?" ”

"I'm afraid this can only be known by bringing the floor plan of the palace."

So they could only wait patiently, and after a while, the solemn attendant had already brought the plan of the palace, but because of the long time, the drawing was thrown out directly, so the color of the appearance looked quite dilapidated, so old that the style painted on it became a little blurry, and the things on the paper needed to be bent down and carefully searched.

Li Huaiyun took the floor plan, then walked to the Huxin Pavilion, spread the drawings on the stone table, and the others surrounded him.

After seeing the structure on the drawings, they were more convinced that the style of this dormitory was indeed similar to the plan of the entire palace.

Yan Zheng had some doubts about this, "How do you know?" This place resembles the structure of the entire palace? ”

Li Huaiyun explained, "When I saw the stream behind the Yangxin Palace, I got a little bit of an idea of the general situation, although it was dark at that time, I could still clearly see the general flow of the stream, and walked around the palace several times, so that I had a rough understanding of some of the situation in the palace, and this time I had this speculation." ”

This guy is so keen to observe, I'm afraid he won't lose to the detective before Dali Temple, but it's a pity, a fire...

Li Huaiyun said, "We will sit down and mark the place where the rune paper is buried, and then enlarge the entire dormitory to the entire drawing!" ”

He pointed to a place on the drawing, "This is the place now." ”

"Heart Cultivation Palace!" The wooden kite blurted out and knocked the stone table, "Sure enough, it's this faint king!" ”

Yan Zheng looked a little overwhelmed, "Is it the emperor?" This... How do we find out? ”

Li Huaiyun frowned, and carefully looked at the location on the drawing, which was still a little different from what he judged! That's not right! It can't be the Heart Cultivation Palace! Is there a mistake!

He leaned down and looked at it again, only to realize that he had reversed the drawings.

"Wrong! Wood kite! Li Huaiyun shouted loudly, then turned the drawings back in embarrassment, and said apologetically, "This is the place!" ”

Yan Zheng sighed, he was almost scared to death by the place he pointed at just now, and after knowing that it was a mistake, he finally calmed down a little.

"Xiangning Palace!" The wooden kite looked at the black letters on the drawing, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Li Huaiyun asked, "The emperor's harem, who lives here?" ”

Yan Zheng pondered for a moment, and said, "The concubine who was of the same status as the princess back then was ranked behind the queen. ”

The wooden kite didn't say a word, and turned around directly, "Let's go!" Hurry over. ”

"Wait! Princess! Li Gongzi and I can't go to the harem at will, so... ”

Li Huaiyun pointed to his chest and said with a smile, "I'm fine, the emperor has already said it, let me check this matter first, and show that I can still go to the harem." ”

"Ahh Yan Zheng cast envious eyes at Li Huaiyun, but he also wanted the emperor to decree that he could do the same, so that he could accumulate experience.

The wooden kite said, "Let's go with me first!" When the time comes, let's find a way to arrange it, do you know this concubine? ”

Yan Zheng immediately spoke, "In order to investigate this case before, I found a lot of information, and I knew a little about the life of this concubine. ”

"Is there anything suspicious?"

Yan Zheng shook his head, "Basically, there is no suspicion, the two concubines have been for more than ten years, and there have been many disputes, but before Princess Yi died, Concubine Rong was asking the Queen Mother to say goodbye!" ”

The wooden kite clenched her fists with both hands, "Damn woman! Packed so well. She walked out, took Li Huaiyun and Yan Zheng behind her, and strode towards Xiangning Palace.

Compared to the other two, the look on Mu Kite's face was obviously more angry, as if he couldn't wait to slash the enemy.

And Li Huaiyun is not too optimistic about this, because this case has been going on for so many years, and it is obvious that this is the consequence of two women competing for favor, no matter who they are, they are all victims of this social system.

Walking on the road, Li Huaiyun looked at Yan Zheng, who was almost a head shorter, "Since you have checked this Rong Guifei, you should know this woman's experience clearly, so let's talk about it briefly." ”

A trace of confusion flashed on Yan Zheng's face, "Speaking of which, there is a rather strange thing!" ”

"What?"

"After the case, this Concubine Rong Guifei didn't know why, she was devoted to the Buddha, and she no longer paid attention to the emperor's summons! The entire dormitory is full of Buddha statues and scriptures! ”

"I even have a special tattoo on myself! It is precisely because of this that the emperor began to be estranged at that time! ”

Li Huai rubbed his chin vigorously, "Dedicated to the Buddha? ”

This is, the wooden kite turned his head and looked at him, "Is it the same as the temple in Kyoto's Kita Ward before?" ”

"I don't know?" Li Huaiyun shook his head, "I'm very strange, why did I change to Buddhism,"

The wooden kite snorted, "It's not strange, I feel guilty!" My mother's death must have a lot to do with her! ”

"Why can't you find anything in Dali Temple more than ten years ago?" She waited for a stern look with complaining eyes,

Yan Zheng spread his hands a little helplessly, "Princess! Don't blame me, it's only been a few years since I arrived in Dali Temple! ”

"Isn't it because of your Dali Temple and the Criminal Department that the murderer is at large."

Li Huaiyun immediately opened his mouth to mediate, "Wooden kites, don't blame them, maybe at that time, they didn't think about going to the Demon Slayer Division!" After all, the imperial city is blessed by Taoism, and there are specific demon hunters patrolling the palace. ”

"Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to make associations in such an aspect, plus there is a jade carving, which shields the demonic energy in the locust tree, so it is even more difficult to make people think of this situation."

Yan Zheng heard this explanation, and hurriedly gave him a thumbs up secretly, "That's true!" Li Gongzi is right. ”

The wooden kite glanced at the two of them and continued to walk forward.

Speaking of this, Li Huaiyun suddenly thought of something, he touched his head lightly, "Wait a minute, I thought of something!" ”

The other two looked at Li Huaiyun, curious as to what question he had in mind.

Li Huaiyun frowned, "Since there is such a strong protection in the imperial city, it means that ordinary monsters can't get close at all, even if it's that black-robed man, he will leave traces of sneaking in before, so that I will find out." ”

"So before, how did the locust tree monster enter the imperial city? And where did this maid get the jade carving, this thing seems so strange! ”
