Qi Muxiao shook his head and said: "Wrong, the mother concubine is not only favored after entering the palace, but also favored by her father, I have asked several old people in the palace for verification, but unfortunately other things, they don't know, the old people who served by the mother's side are gone." ”

"Then you took great pains to arrange for me to go to the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting just to investigate the cause of Concubine Lan's death?" Luo Li once thought that he had the intention of seizing the heir, but after hearing the second senior brother talk about their secret mission of the Bai Sect, he felt that Qi Muxiao might let her enter the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to find someone, and never thought that this matter would be related to the matter of his mother's concubine.

Qi Muxiao nodded.

Luo Li was puzzled and asked, "But how can I help you with this kind of thing?"

Qi Muxiao continued: "I am not like other princes who have a mother concubine in the palace, and they can often enter and leave the harem, and every time I enter the harem, I need to wait for my father's edict. And I grew up on the coast of the East China Sea since I was a child, and there is no power of my own in the palace, so this harem investigation needs to find a female painter to do it. ”

Luo Li shook her head, after listening to it, she didn't think that Qi Muxiao needed a female painter, but felt that Qi Muxiao needed to send a woman to his father. Although this method sounds unreliable, it seems that this is also the safest arrangement to enter the harem to investigate the old things.

She directly said what she thought in her heart, but she didn't expect Qi Muxiao to laugh alone, but this smile was a little bitter.

Qi Muxiao knew the reason behind it, but he couldn't tell it, "Although my father still recruits newcomers every year, he is just filling the popularity of the harem." Besides, how can anyone enter this harem? How can any woman survive? I have been cultivating for many years, and I still abide by the etiquette of right and wrong, so how could I push an irrelevant woman into such a place in order to investigate the truth about my mother's concubine?"

In such a place, it is an abyss where even my biological mother cannot survive, how can I push others to jump into it?

Qi Muxiao didn't say the second half of the sentence, he has been back to the royal capital for more than a year, and he is used to seeing those dirty and disgusting things in the palace. He has been strategizing for so long, and he has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a smart person to help him find the truth of the year.

Other than that, he needed this man to be able to get out of it all right.

Qi Muxiao continued: "The master of the Nine Halls has the opportunity to enter the palace to paint on the eighth day of every month, and on this day, the edicted painter can enter and leave the palace freely, you are the new hall master, according to the custom, the father and the emperor will pass you there recently, and you will have more opportunities to contact more harem concubines than the male painter." And for the matter of my mother's concubine, I need to find two key people - Qin Yiling and Concubine Yu. ”

Luo Li listened word by word, extremely seriously.

Qi Muxiao continued: "Qin Yiling used to be the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, and he was also the special imperial doctor of my mother's concubine, he disappeared in the palace after the death of my mother's concubine, and for more than ten years, there has been no news. The other is Concubine Yu, who is now unfavored, she was my mother's personal maidservant, and she was a descendant who went out of Yao's mansion, she has known my mother for more than ten years, and she should also be one of the insiders. ”

"This Qin Yiling has disappeared in the deep palace for many years, I am afraid that he has suffered an accident, how does the prince know that this person is still alive? Even if I can find this person, I don't know him, how can I be sure that he is the imperial doctor you are looking for?"

He took out a bottle of pill from his bosom, opened it and poured out one, the blood-red pill shining in the night.

"Qin Yiling used to be the alchemist of Baizong, he left Baizong many years ago and traveled to the north, and then entered the Yao Mansion in Huangcheng City, and then entered the palace in the back, breaking off the connection with Baizong. If you really find him, just mention Bai Zong's master's name, Bai Wei. Qi Muxiao pinched the pill, with a little force, the pill shattered, and a rich and unique medicinal fragrance hit his nose, "This pill is his original essence qi blood condensation pill, the pill is fresh, it should have been refined recently." This is what I found today when I was inspecting the courtyard to check the items in Wang Wensheng's case. ”

"Have you gone to investigate Wang Wensheng's case?"

"Yes, the man in black is looking for the scholar, and the scholar was brought by Wang Wensheng from Yuzhou, so I naturally want to check Wang Wensheng's details. Qi Muxiao saw that Luo Li was about to ask, so he didn't let her interrupt, he continued: "Wang Wensheng is a famous local painter, as for where the scholar came from, I don't know for the time being, I have ordered someone to investigate this matter." But what's interesting is that this Wang Wensheng just came to the royal capital not long ago, but he was able to get Qin Yiling's medicine, where do you say he got it?"

Luo Li blurted out: "Elect him as the head of the Rite Academy?"

"Yes, I guess, ninety percent was given by that Zhang Qiu. ”

When Luo Li heard the word Zhang Qiu, he felt familiar, and after thinking for a while, he thought of a person, isn't the fat man Zhang in the Liuli Pavilion the eldest son of the head of the Rite Academy?!

Luo Li sneered: "Sure enough, what kind of Lao Tzu taught what kind of son, I have seen the son of Qiu in that chapter, flying and domineering, and the dog's eyes look down on people." ”

"Zhang Qiu's matter will be considered in the long run, and I will show you something. Qi Muxiao handed the medicine bottle to Luo Li, she took it and looked at the light for a while, and saw the fame.

This medicine bottle is azure glaze, well-made, she looked at the bottom of the bottle, Tianyuan thirty-three years.

"This is an artifact from the official kiln?"

A hint of admiration flashed in Qi Muxiao's eyes, this girl was really quick-thinking, and he said: "Although this Qingtian glaze is an official kiln, it can only be found in the harem, I suspect that someone has imprisoned Qin Yiling in secret alchemy, so when you contact the people in the harem, pay more attention to who has the ability and place to imprison him." He put the pill away and put it back in his arms.

"Why do you think that Qin Yiling must be in the palace? Maybe outside. ”

"No, he is a member of my Bai Sect, and our Bai Sect disciples will leave a trace of their soul in the soul lamp when they go out of the mountain, and Qin Yiling's soul lamp shows that he is in the palace. ”

Luo Li listened and became very interested in Bai Zong, the soul lamp was something she had never heard of, and this thing could also be tracked and located.

She was curious, and sighed that they didn't have such a thing in Guiyuan Villa, otherwise she and his senior brother would secretly go down the mountain to fool around, and they would have to be discovered by her uncle every time!

Qi Muxiao saw the eyes of the person in front of him roll wildly, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about how I'm going to get close to Concubine Yu. ”

"Don't worry about it, it's good for you to behave well in front of your father recently, and you will have the opportunity to see Concubine Yu after a while. ”

Luo Li looked at Qi Muxiao's confident appearance, and knew that the prince had already arranged it for her.

She hesitated and asked, "Wang Wensheng, don't you blame me for being nosy?"

Qi Muxiao replied: "Blame you for being nosy, but it is precisely because of your meddlesomeness that I was able to find such an important clue, maybe it is the will of God." He took two steps to the bank of the river and stood with his hands tied, "The world is inexhaustible, the world is full of suffering, follow your heart, and there are a few people ......who are happy to enmity and hatred."

Luo Li leaned on the crape myrtle tree like this, looking at the graceful son in front of her, a cool breeze blew on the Luoshui water, blowing Luo Li's long hair, she suddenly felt that her long-term worries were gone, even if it was Qi Muxiao who designed to trap her and let her enter the calligraphy and painting academy, but it was not a bad thing, and now she knows the truth, neither seeking money and killing people, nor hurting heaven and reason, she is still happy to help him in the bottom of her heart.

Moreover, this Qin Yiling, the alchemist of the Bai Sect, the Eight Achievements is the person that the Bai Sect has been looking for more than ten years as the second senior brother said.

Qi Muxiao turned around suddenly, and stopped talking, I don't know if it was the red lantern illumination, or what, Qi Muxiao's always pale face was flushed. Qi Muxiao's fingers curled up slightly, and he called her in a low voice: "Luo Li...... Actually, I ...... ...... to you"

Luo Li waited for the next sentence with a blank expression, but saw the sudden change in the expression of the person in front of him, staring at her incredulously.

No, staring behind her, to be exact.

Luo Li asked in a low voice, "I, what's wrong?" She turned her head inadvertently, and saw Pei Huan, who was leading the horse not far away, holding a flickering light in his hand, anxiously looking for something.

"Pei Huan?" Qi Muxiao walked past Luo Li and walked straight to Pei Huan.

Pei Huan saw someone coming and said in surprise: "Master?"

Qi Muxiao stared at the golden light emanating from his hand, the first time he saw the light of the soul chasing pendant so strong, there was no one around at this time, Pei Huan did not hide the light of the jade pendant, and handed the jade pendant to him.

"Lord Wang?" Luo Li followed from behind the tree.

The jade pendant in Qi Muxiao's hand suddenly became hot, and the golden light was magnificent.

It's her?!
