Of course, Lu Mingfei wouldn't believe that there was anything sneaky, as if Chu Ning was catching a strong man in the mountain village, it was just someone who was doing it, but listening to the palace maid say this, it aroused Lu Mingfei's curiosity, after all, this is a palace.

"Isn't it just the kitchen? How can it be haunted? Besides, no one cares about such a thing in the palace? Aren't you afraid that there will be problems in the emperor's mother's food?"

Listening to Lu Mingfei's inquiry, the palace maid shook her head and said: "That's not the case, the nobles in the palace eat by the imperial dining room, and the imperial catering department I said is all the food of the people in the palace, which is far worse than the imperial dining room, even if there is such a thing, no one cares." ”

Lu Mingfei asked, "Tell me, what kind of ghosts are doing it?"

The palace maid subconsciously shrunk her neck and said: "Actually, I haven't seen it, but I heard the eunuch in the palace say that every late at night, the food in the imperial food division will be inexplicably less, and it has lasted for a few months. ”

An explanation almost amused Lu Mingfei, according to the palace maid's statement, it is not difficult to guess which gluttonous person should be a greedy person who runs to the imperial food division late every night to steal food, and by the way, he dressed himself up, pretending to be a ghost and scaring others.

happened to be hungry, Lu Mingfei asked the approximate location, and then walked out of Jin'an Palace towards the Imperial Diet, looking for something to fill his stomach, and by the way, to see who was making trouble here.

The Imperial Diet Division is not far away, and it is desolate when you come here, as the palace maid said, this kind of ordinary place for people to cook is not cared about even if it is located in the palace, and there are not even guards at night, and you can come and go at will.

In fact, it is a very large kitchen, when Lu Mingfei touched it in, the black light was blind, and he searched for a while, there were a lot of ingredients, but they were all raw food, which could not be practical.

In the end, I found a food box in front of the pot table, opened it, and there was a roast chicken and two steamed buns inside, and the roast chicken still had some residual warmth.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and without saying a word, he tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

After a moment's effort, a whole roast chicken was wiped out by him by dividing it by two, and by the way, he also ate a steamed bun, leaving only another steamed bun and a bunch of chicken bones that he threw into the food box and placed in the original position.

After eating and drinking, Lu Mingfei simply sat down by the pot, wanting to see what was going on with the rumored ghosts.

Just waited for a long time, the whole kitchen was as quiet as ever, and there was nothing unusual, but just as he was about to leave, there was a sudden "squeak" above his head

Twist" with a soft sound.

The noise wasn't too loud, and it would have been hard to detect if it weren't for the quiet pin drop in the kitchen.

Then a bleak moonlight shone into the kitchen, and it turned out to be a skylight on the roof that had been opened, and then a rope slowly peeked through the roof, and it was coming for the food box.

An iron hook was tied to the rope, and it was pulled upwards after accurately hooking the food box, and the movement was extremely skillful, although it was in the dark, but it did not stop at all, and it was done in one go.

In the blink of an eye, the food box was about to be pulled out of the skylight, and Lu Mingfei shot out a mysterious qi in the air under curiosity, and sucked it towards the food box.

Lu Mingfei knew that it would probably not be a villain to come here in the middle of the night to steal food, and his actions were somewhat teasing the other party.

The food box was pulled up and down, shaking in the air, and then a soft cry of "huh?" was faintly heard from the roof, obviously the other party noticed something abnormal.

Lu Mingfei's heart tightened when he heard the sound, and he immediately collected the Xuan Qi in his hand, and the food box was pulled outside again, and it didn't take long for him to come out of the skylight.

Lu Mingfei was already overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't know how the other party would feel when he saw that pile of chicken bones.

Sure enough, the man got an empty food box and naturally would not give up, and when Lu Mingfei was still proud, he saw a dark figure tiptoeing towards the kitchen.

The light was dark, and it was impossible to see the person's appearance, but the moonlight just happened to shine, reflecting the other party's figure on the ground, and there were indeed two long pointed horns above his head, perhaps because they were elongated, it looked really scary.

The person who entered the room, the man looked left and right, obviously looking for food, and after looking for a long time, he naturally found nothing.

Lu Mingfei didn't bother to amuse him, so he planned to capture that person and see who it was.

"What a bold man, he dares to pretend to be a ghost in the palace!"

Suddenly, with a cold snort, he flashed out from the side of the pot almost at the same time, and grabbed at the man.

To Lu Mingfei's surprise, the other party's reaction was obviously much faster than he expected, only when he just stood up, the man let out a soft snort, and at the same time, he quickly flew towards the way he came.

Only then did he realize that the other party was also cultivated and skilled, and he was puzzled by why he had fallen to the point of stealing food since he could have such a skill.

For a short time, I couldn't see the other party's appearance at all, but I vaguely noticed that the other party seemed to be wearing a mask.

The next moment, Lu Mingfei had already flown in front of the man, changed his grip to his palm, and hit the man with one palm.

The man flew back as he freed

With one hand, he directly slapped Lu Mingfei.

After a muffled sound, the two of them flew backwards at the same time, Lu Mingfei staggered back six or seven steps one after another before stabilizing his figure, obviously suffering a lot of secret losses, and his heart was shocked inexplicably, he never expected that person's cultivation would be so profound, I am afraid that it is not much better than a master of Cheng Lengshu's level.

Although the other party's cultivation is high, he is obviously a bit of a thief, and he doesn't want to entangle with Lu Mingfei too much, so he retreats towards the door with the power of that palm, Lu Mingfei doesn't dare to rush forward, but he is still a little unwilling in his heart, so he grabbed two silver chopsticks on the table and shot towards the man.

The chopsticks drew two silver rays of light and flew towards the other party like a hidden weapon, but the man didn't pay too much attention to it, and rolled the two chopsticks into his sleeve with a flick of his hand, and then flashed out the door and walked away.

After chasing a few steps, the other party had long disappeared, and Lu Mingfei stood helplessly in place, looking dazed.

Because of the mask, Lu Mingfei even doubted whether the other party was the rumored master Xiahou Lu hidden in the palace, but after thinking about it, it was not right, he had seen the true immortal powerhouse, although that person's cultivation was high, there was still a significant gap between him and Qian Xinxin and Hua Jiu Nian, in other words, if that person was really Xiahou Lu, let alone a palm, he was afraid that he would not have any chance to get close to the other party at all.

couldn't think of a reason, Lu Mingfei simply didn't think about it anymore, and waited to see the second prince and ask maybe he could have some eyebrows, which was better than guessing by himself, and most of the things in this palace had nothing to do with him, thinking so, Lu Mingfei wandered back to Jin'an Palace.

The Butterfly Banquet was held as scheduled, and the time was chosen in the evening, just because at this time of the day, the trees and flowers in the palace would bloom with ice and snow butterflies.

The eldest prince has gathered dozens of invited officials from the DPRK and China, and the banquet has not yet begun, and the officials are watching the beautiful scenery in the garden under the guidance of the governor of the palace.

The spring breeze blew, and the snow on a peach blossom suddenly fell, and then I saw that there were two crystalline pieces of crystal in the petals, and after a while, it turned into a clear little butterfly and flew towards the sky.

Although I have heard of it for a long time, but I have witnessed such a strange scene in person, all the officials are sincerely amazed, and before the sound of discussion falls, more and more snow has slipped down one after another, and butterflies continue to fly out on the branches of trees and gardens, dotted with stars, splendid and extraordinary, and the whole garden is dotted like a fairyland.

"The Great Prince has arrived!"

Just when everyone was stunned, they heard the eunuch singing in their voices, and the eldest prince walked into the garden in high spirits surrounded by a group of subordinates.

The eldest prince is in a majestic figure, with a face like a crown of jade, a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a white robe, painted with exquisite patterns in silver wire, flashing with a faint light, and it is a complement to this garden wonder.
