After I worshipped Bodhi, I was invincible

Chapter 83 Banquet
After one night's conversation, Ao Qing learned that Su Guifei's single name was an English word, Su Ying.

Based on Shuangxi's fragmentary memories of last night and what Su Ying said, Ao Qing roughly understood the rank division of Lian Guo's harem concubines.

They are mainly talents, concubines, noble concubines, and empresses.

As a noble concubine, Su Ying's status in the harem can be imagined, but it's a pity that His Highness the Seventh Prince died unexpectedly near Su Ying's house, and all the clues point to Su Ying.

The crime of murdering the prince is not small. When the Seventh Highness died, the current Holy Majesty was furious and condemned Su Ying.

It was a crime that should be beheaded, but the Holy One thought of his kindness, so he spared his life.

But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped.

Su Ying was deposed from the rank of noble concubine and relegated to the cold palace.

A few days ago, I learned that the emperor and empress were going to invite Taiqing disciples to Wanchun Garden, so there was no other choice. This was one of the few chances to make a comeback. In order to make a turn for the banquet and regain the favor of the emperor, Su Ying risked her life. Go to the Jiqiao Pavilion and kneel down for three days.

It wasn't until her legs were congested and her eyes felt dizzy that Su Ying was able to meet with the head of the Jiqiao Pavilion and got a rare treasure - the Nine Clouds Jade Crane.

Ao Qing didn't know much about Baoyu, so she didn't understand the special feature of the Nine Clouds Jade Crane.

It's just that the material of the jade crane is a bit special, not extraordinary, and there is a hint of aura faintly contained in it.

I also don't understand why the merman, who is an earth immortal, didn't choose to catch the mastermind behind the scenes after he died outside the palace, but was obediently thrown into the cold palace and accepted punishment.

Even if she wanted to give treasures to Taiqing disciples, she would be more reliable than begging for a jade crane if she cried out a box of pearls at will.

In short, judging from Ao Qing's overnight observation, there are many doubts about this mermaid.

Extinguish the candles, close your eyes and fall asleep.

The maids and concubines do not live in the same room, and the cold palace is the same. Without the supervision of others, Ao Qing took out "Human Skin Puppet Art" and continued to study.

Early the next morning, the sky will be bright.

Footsteps came from outside the house, Ao Qing retracted "Human Skin Puppet Art", and looked up at the person outside the house.

"Your servant sees the Lord, I wonder if the Lord has any orders for coming this morning?"

Su Ying walked up to Ao Qing, took out a piece of paper and handed it a warm jade bead to Ao Qing, and said in a low voice: "According to the previous plan, this is the coping method I wrote on it, just follow it."

"If something happens to me, you will hold this jade bead in your mouth and jump into the moat to escape from the palace."

After a moment of silence, Su Ying continued.

"This jade bead is a treasure left by my ancestors. It is called the water-avoiding bead."

"Put this thing in your mouth and you can walk on the ground underwater. If something happens to me, don't worry about me. Take some jewelry and water-proof beads under my bed and leave immediately."

Su Ying asked a few more words, turned and left.

Seeing Su Ying's back walking away, Ao Qing opened the note and carefully browsed the contents written on the note.

The general idea is that after Su Ying left, Shuangxi, who is a maid, would chat with the air from time to time in the house, faking the illusion that there are still people in the cold palace.

"So that's it, it's simple."

Ao Qing took out two paper figurines from the mustard seeds, and she performed puppet magic on the paper figurines.

Two paper figurines stood in the house, making some strange "squeaking" sounds from time to time, which looked weird and funny.

This is just a simple blindfold, which can create false impressions on the five senses of ordinary people.

Of course, this method is useless to monks, and the way to crack it is simple.

When the fire burns it, the truth will emerge.

But it is enough to deal with mortals.

Hiding her figure and swaggering out of the cold palace, Ao Qing followed the direction Su Ying left.

With more than a stick of incense, Ao Qing saw Su Ying under a pavilion.

It's just that Su Ying's appearance has changed at this moment, and now she has become a dancer, dancing among other dancers.

Looking at Su Ying who was waving her sleeve robe and growing lotuses every step of the way, Ao Qing became even more vigilant.

This Su Ying's operation is actually the same as her own?
Ao Qing found a suitable place to stand, silently observing Su Ying who was pretending to be a dancing girl.

Using the hoop spirit to hide the evil spirit, she was bullied and trampled like a mortal in the harem, kneeling in front of the Jiqiao Pavilion to beg for Baoyu, and now she is transformed into a dancer and ready to go to the Taiqing banquet.

What on earth is she going to do?
All these clues are too weird, especially the wolf demon who was manipulated by the mermaid magic.

The piles that I saw in front of me looked like randomly entangled silk threads. It seemed that as long as we found the end of the thread, we could straighten out the cause and effect of the whole incident, but Ao Qing always felt that there was still one person missing.

The real master has not yet appeared.

A day flies by like a fleeting moment.

The sky is getting dark, dark clouds cover the moon, lanterns are hung high in the palace, and candles are shining brightly.

In Wanchun Garden, people come and go, noisy and bustling, the air is fragrant and fragrant, bright purples and reds, decorated with lanterns and festoons, melons, fruits, fine wine, delicacies of mountains and seas are placed on the rosewood table.

The princes and nobles who participated in the banquet came one after another, all wearing splendid robes and jade pendant beads.

The dancer girl waited on one side, and Ao Qing also concealed her figure and quietly followed behind the crowd.

The Wanchun Garden became more and more lively, the lights were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

After waiting for a while, I saw a middle-aged man in a dragon robe with black and black patterns stepping into the hall. The moment the middle-aged man appeared, everyone in the hall bowed and bowed, shouting long live my emperor.

Ao Qing looked in the direction of the people kneeling and worshiping, and it was Chen Yin, the king of the Lian Kingdom, who came.

Compared with the majesty and stability in Ao Qing's mind, this Chen Yin's complexion is gloomy, and his yang energy is slightly weak. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a short-lived ghost, obviously his life is not long.

After waiting for a while, everyone knelt and worshiped again.

Looking up, a seductive woman in a black robe with a phoenix pattern slowly walked out. The woman has a plump and graceful figure, fair skin, and a slight smile in the raised phoenix eyes.

This person is Jing Baimei, the empress of the dynasty.

Just when his eyes fell on Jing Baimei, Ao Qing's face changed slightly.

This Jing Baimei's temperament is as cold as a snowy plum in winter, and there is a hint of charming and frivolous between her eyebrows and eyes.

In addition, although Jing Baimei is an ordinary person, as shown in the illustrated book of mountains and seas, Jing Baimei still carries many strange magic weapons on her body.

There is even a middle-grade fairy artifact and an ancient book.

The name of the ancient book is "Southern Wilderness Yumaolu". Ao Qing thinks he has a good understanding of the mermaid clan, and has read a lot of ancient books in Dongting, but he still has no impression of this book.

Royal shark record?
The moment the queen appeared, it seemed that many clues were connected in series, and the cause and effect could be vaguely seen.

The merman who wants to stay in the palace at the expense of giving up everything, and the queen who possesses ancient books and sorcery.

Presumably there is a deep bond between the two.

Ao Qing fixed her eyes on Su Ying, and sure enough, Su Ying also looked at the queen from time to time, with a strange expression on her face.

Stay calm and wait for the banquet.

Unknowingly, there was a sudden wind, purple air rose in the distant night sky, auspicious clouds gathered, and several sword lights pierced the sky, hovering over the Wanchun Garden of the Lian Kingdom Palace.

The princes, aristocrats, eunuchs, slaves and servants in the Wanchun Garden saluted, the king waved his hand, immediately beat gongs and drums, and chimed bells to greet them.

More than a dozen fairy elders in the air stood on the sword body, and their moon white robes moved in the wind.
