There are gaps in the road

Chapter 195 Investigation
"Xiao Chi?" The Queen Mother was taken aback for a moment, and then the waves of anger trembled and rippled.

"Nonsense, if you ventured into the palace just to provoke Aijia, then you are very successful."

"No matter who you are, no matter where you are hiding, the Ai family will definitely catch you and tear you into pieces." The queen mother said aggressively, of course, if she didn't hide most of her body under the water, maybe Speak more forcefully.

Looking at the trembling Queen Mother, Ye Chuxiao wondered whether she really didn't know, or was she just pretending.

"The possibility of camouflage is not very high. In the state of breaking the defense inside and outside, no matter how sophisticated a person is, it is impossible to show no trace."

"The empress dowager's reaction... is quite reasonable, and there is no sign of acting, so she really doesn't know that Xiao Chi is the first emperor?" Ye Chuxiao waved his sleeves and threw the clothes on the hanger to the empress dowager, then politely turned around.

In fact, this turning around is more symbolic than substantial.

Under the cover of the domain, everything in the domain is under Ye Chuxiao's control and vision, not to mention turning around, even the pool of spiritual springs has no real cover-up effect.

The Empress Dowager obviously knew this too.

So when Ye Chuxiao turned around, she also pretended that no one saw her again, and quickly jumped out of the water. There was no need for the clothes that Ye Chuxiao threw, a set of close-fitting armor covered her. body.

Although this set of battle armor does not belong to the category of divine weapons, it is also the top item among spiritual treasures, and it is in harmony with the true energy and mana in the body.

With the empress dowager's status and wealth, it's not surprising that she has such a set of armor for protection.

"It's weird!"

"Since it's so convenient for her to wear armor, why did she deliberately pose like that before?"

"Did she do it on purpose!? Or did she ignore it in a panic?" Ye Chuxiao didn't draw a conclusion immediately, but he raised his vigilance against the Queen Mother again.

No matter whether she is Xiao Chi's pawn or not, as an independent individual, she also possesses wisdom and skill that cannot be underestimated.

"Are you asking about Xiao Chi?"

"The Ai family doesn't know where you heard some gossip, but the Ai family can solemnly tell you that no matter what you have heard, it is all rumours, and the Ai family will dig them all up sooner or later Ling Chi." After the Queen Mother put on the battle armor, her tone of voice became a bit more rigid, but she didn't directly show her teeth and claws at Ye Chuxiao, obviously knowing the hard power gap between herself and Ye Chuxiao.

At the same time, she also tried to take over part of the right to speak and find out Ye Chuxiao's purpose.

To put it bluntly, communication at this time has nothing to do with identity.

She is indeed the queen mother, but she is also the fish on Ye Chuxiao's sword. If it is worthless, she is very worried that Ye Chuxiao will kill her to avoid future troubles.

The Empress Dowager even regretted slightly in her heart that she didn't leave more space between her words, that she would pay more attention to the outpouring of anger and fear in the panic, instead of seeing the real situation more quickly and keenly.

"Your strength is very strong. In today's world, Aijia has never heard of anyone who can bypass the multiple restrictions in the palace and sneak into Kunling Palace so easily." The queen mother who adjusted her mentality gave a small compliment , it is considered soft.

Then he tentatively asked: "Could it be that old senior who retreated in the palace during the Xiao Chi Rebellion?"

"If this is the case, then the Ai family will definitely let the emperor justify the name of the old senior, and the honorary status that the old senior deserves will definitely not be short or missing."

Now that he has been subdued, it will be easier to say what to say next.

While probing, the queen mother also wanted to solicit.

If it is really an old senior in the palace, then it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if it's a maid of honor, a eunuch, or an old concubine of a certain dynasty, it doesn't matter if she is glanced at a few times.

Ye Chuxiao didn't speak, just kept his back to the Queen Mother, watching her performance in silence.

Like a butterfly falling into a spider's web, trying to struggle, but getting deeper and deeper.

Ye Chuxiao simply took off the cloak on her body, revealing the changed appearance of Ran Xing.

The queen mother glanced at it, showing surprise: "The old man... just made a joke with Aijia!"

"My name is Ran Xing, and of course... there is an identity you are familiar with."

"Gold will not be left behind!" Ye Chuxiao did not follow the Queen Mother's interruption, and broke back the 'truth' that the Queen Mother had seen.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "It's just the art of transformation. Although it's not very common, it's not uncommon either. Your Excellency's tricks are concealed and used to frame our important ministers. What is your intention?"

After all, Jin Buyi is one of the few artistic conception monks and one of the gods of the six sects. Even if the queen mother is not familiar with him, she will not be completely unfamiliar with him.

"That's what you don't know. I am one body with multiple souls. When I split, many independent individuals with different personalities will be produced."

"I think you should also know that there are some strange artistic conception monks outside Shenjing City!"

"Yes, to a certain extent, they are all me." Ye Chuxiao said.

Using Ran Xing's identity to "strike the grass and scare the snake" is Ye Chuxiao's little skill, but it is not a big plan with context.

It is gratifying to have something to gain, but if there is no gain, it is all right to report some information about Jin Buyu to the Queen Mother.

Some information is only valuable when it is exchanged, and it is actually a waste to keep it by yourself.

After a while, Ye Chuxiao will use this information to communicate with Ying Shu.

Of course, the best situation is that Ying Shu has already known this information through other channels.

It's better to communicate that way.

The Empress Dowager didn't speak any more, she seemed to be digesting and discriminating the authenticity of this message.

It doesn't matter whether the guy in front of him who calls himself 'Ran Xing' is an incarnation of Jin Buyi.

If the newly added Artistic Conception cultivators are all related to Jin Buyi, that would be enough to make the Queen Mother vigilant.

After all, this is a world of practice. A powerful monk can subvert the imperial power with one effort.

In Daheng, it is very difficult for the cultivators of artistic conception to achieve this.

But if it's an Adept Monk or a combination of multi-digit moods, it can be done.

As the person in power, the Empress Dowager couldn't stop herself from thinking about it.

If the gold is not left behind, if it can really be split into several artistic conception monks, then this is his original sin.

Whether he has ulterior motives or not, he is destined to be hostile and targeted.

Although Ye Chuxiao's original intention was to inquire about information related to Xiao Chi, but it's completely fine to beat the rabbits and make money at the same time.

It would be great if he could win the victory of Xindan from the level of Jin Buli before Xiao Chi recovered.

"You should have a copy of the first emperor's daily life note!" Ye Chuxiao turned to the queen mother and said.

The reason why Ye Chuxiao was so sure was because of the rumors that the late emperor was still alive, sparked by Jin Buyu.

The Queen Mother knows this rumor, whether she believes it or not, she should instinctively verify it.

The words of denial came to his lips, and when he saw the light of the knife on Ye Chuxiao's fingertips, he changed the words again.

"Yes, but it's not comprehensive. Some of the living notes disappeared when King Chen rebelled and broke into the palace." The queen mother said.

The queen mother in front of me is not the 'original match' of the late emperor Xiao Bao'er, there was originally another queen who died when Xiao Chi rebelled.

This empress dowager was actually newly conferred by the late emperor decades ago.

"Take it out, give it to me!" Ye Chuxiao said bluntly.

The queen mother did not hesitate, and handed over the living note.

Although this thing is precious, it has never been allowed to flow out, and it is all kept in the royal treasury, and will be repaired and destroyed after a certain period of time, but compared with the old life of the Queen Mother, it is not worth mentioning.

Ye Chuxiao took a stack of jade slips, put them in the storage bracelet, and then asked, "How much do you know about the late emperor?"

Although the queen mother didn't understand why the topic first changed from Xiao Chi to Jin Buyi, and now it jumped to the late emperor, she knew how to cooperate, so she said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. The late emperor didn’t know much about it.”

He said with a wry smile: "From the day Ai's family entered the palace, the number of times they saw the late emperor was very small."

"Then you don't talk when you are in London?" Ye Chuxiao continued to ask without hesitation.

The queen mother said angrily: "I don't say much, it's more like a routine. Since Ai's family became pregnant with the emperor's son, I haven't seen the late emperor..."

As he said that, there was another grievance for no reason.

Seeing the queen mother approaching slowly, Ye Chuxiao took a few steps forward to avoid her approaching.

"Is there any concubine, maid, or eunuch in the palace who is closer to the late emperor on a daily basis?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

The empress dowager stopped, and seemed to have come out of her emotions, but the mournful expression on her mature and charming face was three points deeper: "Although the first emperor seldom got involved in government affairs, there were very few concubines in the harem. Outside of Ai's family, there are only two concubines who died of illness a few years ago and followed the late emperor."

"You are cruel!" Ye Chuxiao sneered.

"As for the eunuch, the first emperor relied most on Feng Yu and Eunuch Feng, but I heard that he passed away a few days ago."

"Then there is Lord Zhenhai. It's just that the first emperor was looking for Lord Zhenhai to discuss state affairs, and he was close... not so close." The queen mother continued to speak, seemingly evading for Lord Zhenhai, but in fact she was secretly guiding and tempting meaning.

This old woman is not a good person.

Obviously, he wanted to lure Ye Chuxiao to the old eunuch of Lord Zhenhai.

That old eunuch can be regarded as a sea-fixing needle in the Daheng Palace.

"okay, I get it!"

Immediately, Ye Chuxiao held a needle and plunged it into the Queen Mother's Lingtai acupoint.

"This is a soul-destroying needle. Once it enters the body, it melts into the blood of the bones. It cannot be destroyed without changing the body. However, without my urging, it will melt by itself every three months. After ten years, it will be able to digest on its own. After finishing, it will increase your aptitude."

Saying that, Ye Chuxiao activated the spirit needle that had been pierced into the Queen Mother's body again.

Driven by Ye Chuxiao, the needle pierced into the bone marrow and began to move around.

In an instant, the queen mother was covered in cold sweat, cried out in pain, and rolled all over the floor.

As Ye Chuxiao stopped pushing, she could only fall to the ground, panting and inhaling continuously.

"You can try to pull it out, but if you don't do it right, it will trigger its effect, and the pain will be more than ten times that of just now."

Saying that, Ye Chuxiao said calmly again: "I'm not threatening you, just giving you and us a step down."

"If you don't mention today's matter, I won't mention it either. You and I have nothing to do with each other. It's all because we haven't met."

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, half-kneeled on the ground, reluctantly but tenaciously looked up at Ye Chuxiao, as if she wanted to see through Ye Chuxiao's disguise at the moment.

"Okay! It's up to you to decide." The queen mother said the words with difficulty.

It was only at this moment that she barely suppressed her desire for revenge.

It's just a flame of hatred, but it's getting stronger and stronger.

"What to do, what to do, who to trouble with, you have a steelyard in your mind, you and I should know."

"I've done something wrong, I won't mention it, but if you get sick, you will be the one who suffers." Ye Chuxiao said, turned around and left the hall, quietly sneaked out of the Kunling Palace, and then turned to the princess's pepper room. Shang Palace.

Sure enough, after Ye Chuxiao left, there was no abnormality in the palace. The queen mother endured it, not daring to mobilize forces to search for Ye Chuxiao's whereabouts before she found out the details of the soul-destroying needle in her body.

The soul-destroying needle was forged by Ye Chuxiao casually.

Although it is casual, but Ye Chuxiao has the experience of many craftsmen in refining weapons, even if he does it casually, the effect and degree of difficulty are not trivial.

Not to mention that there is no solution, with the ability and energy of the Empress Dowager, it is impossible for him to find a solution in decades.

As for whether the needle really melted after ten years, it depends on what Ye Chuxiao thinks?
If Ye Chuxiao at that time had already jumped out of the pattern and framework in front of him, then of course the needle would be useless, and it would be fusion.

Jiaoxiang Palace is much easier to enter than Kunling Palace.

Located in the northwest corner of the harem, it's not remote, but it's not deserted either.

The eldest princess is sitting in a corner of the water pavilion outside the palace, looking at the lake in a daze.

"What is the princess thinking?" Ye Chuxiao repeated his old tricks, sealing off the space, isolating the connection with the outside world, and creating an illusion at the same time, so that the maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side did not notice the abnormality.

The eldest princess was startled, and looked up at Ye Chuxiao. She was puzzled at first, and then said, "I've seen you!"

"You are... that fish!"

Ye Chuxiao was taken aback. How could this princess who looked a little dull see through his changes?

"No, you're wrong, I don't know what you're talking about." Ye Chuxiao was a little embarrassed, after all, she had seen the other party's seaweed dance by accident.

Although in comparison, the Queen Mother's performance is even more eye-opening.

However, this is like seeing the performance of the teacher in the Sakura District, and seeing the unexpected performance of the girl at the same table. The feeling of facing it is different.

The princess puffed up her bun face, and said a little stubbornly: "Don't try to lie to me, my nose is very good, and I can smell your scent."

"Smell?" Ye Chuxiao was puzzled, his changes would not ignore such a superficial question.

"Maybe, her sensitivity is extraordinary, and she can directly perceive the soul?" Ye Chuxiao thought.

The descendants of monks will partly inherit the talents and even abilities of monks. This concept is never unfamiliar.

And the eldest princess is the offspring conceived by Xiao Chi when he was still the King of the Morning, which means that she is the offspring of a monk of the Unsettled Boundary, which is somewhat special, which is normal.

Thinking of this, Ye Chuxiao's eyes brightened: "I came here to ask you, do you know who your father is?"

　Damn, my neck and shoulders still hurt, and if I code for a long time, the spirit of the pain will be blurred, which is difficult!
