This strange and frightened thought had been haunting Song Yuan's mind, so he couldn't stay in the Guogong Mansion anymore and waited, so he immediately got up and ran towards the palace.

Song Yuan could pass all the way in the palace, so when he entered the palace, no one stopped him, but when he went to his father's office on weekdays, he didn't find him, and there was no one in the entire guard, this strange phenomenon made him a little flustered for a while.

He hurried out of the Guards' territory, and just as he was coming out, a column of guards passed him quickly and headed for the back of the palace.

Song Yuan looked at it suspiciously, very puzzled.

He remembered that there was no one behind the palace at all, only a large dense bamboo forest, and no one would set foot there on weekdays, because Emperor Xi had issued a ban to prevent people from entering the bamboo forest, so in this way, the people in the palace said that the bamboo forest was the place where the unjust ghosts in the palace were buried, and it was the place where the unjust souls gathered.

And now, so many guards are rushing over there, it is indeed incomprehensible.

Song Yuan thought about it, so he followed.

When he came to the periphery of the bamboo forest, Song Yuan found that the bamboo forest, which used to look like a green sea from afar, was now only a few bamboos, and there was a huge pit in the middle of the bamboo forest that he didn't know what was made. This strange scene aroused his curiosity more and more.

So he walked inside, and when he got closer, he found that his father was standing on the edge of the pit at the moment, looking at the abrupt pit with a face full of sorrow. And he instantly understood why his father would return late tonight.

In order to prevent himself from being discovered, he deliberately found a hidden place to hide and secretly looked in the dark.

Looking at the situation in front of him, and thinking of the rumors about the spirits in the imperial city that he had heard on the street during the day, Song Yuan couldn't help but think, could it be that the so-called spirits had already run into the palace?

But now he can't make a conclusion about this, so Song Yuan can only continue to hide in the dark and look, but after looking for a long time, he found that those guards were only cleaning up the fallen bamboos around the giant pit, and they didn't seem to find anything. However, at a glance, Song Yuan still found a clue, that is, behind the guards, there seemed to be an old palace, which made him very concerned.

Because he was worried that he would be discovered after staying here for too long, and he wanted to inform Jinguan of this information as soon as possible, he left and came to Qinghe Palace.

When he came to Qinghe Palace, he found that this place had been heavily guarded, and there were people from the guards inside and out, Song Yuan thought that they should all know him, so he wanted to go in without thinking about it, but he didn't want to just go up the steps, and was stopped by the two soldiers guarding the door.

Seeing this, Song Yuan hurriedly untied the token from his waist and held it up to the eyes of the two of them to show them.

But the two soldiers still did not let them go, but said respectfully: "Gongzi Song, Your Majesty has explained, no one is allowed to see His Highness the Sixteenth, please go back!"

Hearing this, Song Yuan retreated in a daze. Even though he was Jinguan's personal guard, this kind of identity, under the order of Emperor Xi, was not worth mentioning, not to mention, he couldn't afford to embarrass the two guards because he wanted to go in, so he walked away with interest.

Since he couldn't enter through the temple gate, he naturally had other options.

However, when he stood in the dog cave where the former Jinguan had slipped away, he showed a trace of hesitation. Come to think of it, he is a polite gentleman, but he has fallen into a dog hole, which is really difficult for him to accept. He stood at the entrance of the cave and thought for a while, and finally reluctantly bent down, slowly crawled down, passed through the dog hole, and entered the Qinghe Palace.

The dog cave was not far from Jinguan's room, so he walked through the cave for a short time and came to the back of Jinguan's room. He hid behind the wall and looked outside, and saw that there were eight soldiers standing at the door, so he understood that it was not possible to enter through the door, so he did not go directly to the door.

But with his relationship with Jinguan for so many years, although he is not as flexible as Jinguan when encountering difficulties, he can also come up with a way to come up with a way, so even if he doesn't go in through the door and tell Jinguan verbally, he can use other methods.

Song Yuan went around to the back of the house, where the window was fixed, but the top of the window was made of window paper, so he was able to pass through the window a note with a message written on it through a long penny.

Jin Guan was sleeping soundly at this time, and he didn't know that Song Yuan was outside, so the note that Song Yuan handed in fell lightly on the table in the room. Song Yuan felt that in this case, the Jinguan would find out sooner or later, so after taking back the penny, he left the Qinghe Hall and returned to the Guogong Mansion.

When I returned to the Guogong Mansion, it was almost dawn. He came to the lobby again, but he still didn't see his father, and just as he turned to leave, he met Song Yuanzhi with a tired face.

When Song Yuanzhi saw Song Yuan, his face did not change in any way, and his tired face still had a serious expression, which made Song Yuan a little jealous. He greeted him and called out respectfully, "Father!"

Song Yuanzhi gave a brief "um", which was a response to his "father", and then he strode into the lobby and sat on a chair.

Song Yuan turned around, walked over, and asked with concern, "Father didn't return all night, but there is something in the palace?"

Even though he already knew what Song Yuanzhi was doing in the palace last night, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be confused. Because, if Song Yuanzhi deliberately concealed it, if he revealed that he knew, he would probably ask for trouble. On the other hand, if he pretended to be confused and asked, in case Song Yuanzhi told him about the matter, wouldn't it be a matter of course.

Song Yuanzhi faced Song Yuan's question, and after sighing, he didn't seem to intend to hide it, but said bluntly: "In the palace, something strange has indeed happened!"

"Father, what's the matter?"

"You have been away for more than a month, you must not know that the rumors of the spirits in the imperial city are getting stronger and stronger, and the spirits seem to have entered the backyard of the palace!"

"What?" Although Song Yuan had already guessed, when he heard Song Yuanzhi say this, he still had to cooperate to show surprise. He continued to ask, "Father, is he going to scout for spirits tonight?"

Song Yuanzhi shook his head and replied: "Although no trace of the spirit has been found in the palace so far, and there has been no human life, but there has been a sudden vision in the palace, and that vision cannot be man-made at all, so we will guess that there are spirits who have sneaked into the palace!"

"Now, what is Your Majesty's plan?"
