Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 1004 Shut your crow mouth

Li Liuyu: “Is there?”

Zhang Miaoxia looked at Su Yixin: "Yixin, did you find out?"

Su Yixin nodded.

"Then I was right. She seemed to be forcing herself to hold on. If that's the case, why bother to hold such a big banquet? It's exhausting and harmful to her health."

Qian Jingyi said: "Maybe it was Prince Xuan's idea, just to make Princess Xuan happy."

"Maybe."

After saying this, they went back to their homes.

After waiting for half an hour, Heihe and Xuanfeng finally came back.

"Really? He didn't even get a sip to drink, and he was playing in the mud."

Su Yixin didn't have time to listen to Hei He's complaints: "Help me, have you found anything?"

"It was just mud. We carefully put the mud back in place. There was really nothing else."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll ask the cook to prepare enough food, plenty of it!"

A whirlwind blew away in a gust of wind.

Hei He was still saying a few words when he saw Xuanfeng running away and immediately followed him.

Su Yixin returned to the study to discuss the flower fields and the layout of Prince Xuan's Mansion with Zhou Zheng. She wanted to hear the analysis of this ghost king who had been in power for hundreds of years.

Zhou Zheng: "According to what you just said, the layout of Prince Xuan's Mansion does seem to be relying on luck, but it's not just relying on the luck of Princess Xuan alone."

Su Yixin said solemnly, "You mean, the soul-guiding formation doesn't attract ghosts, but the fortunes of people with similar fates. Because these people's fates are similar to the princess', they feel that the yin energy is heavy?"

Zhou Zheng nodded: "That's right."

Borrowing...

This is not something a decent person would do.

What exactly does King Xuan want to do?

He and Princess Xuan had a deep love for each other, but was it all fake all these years?

At the hour of Xu, Gu Qingjue returned from the palace.

Before Su Yixin could speak, Gu Qingjue told her what happened in the palace: "Are you saying that Xiao Yingsu has taken the bait?"

Gu Qingjue nodded: "After putting down the bait for so long, the fish finally took the bait."

"The defense map was 'stolen'?"

Su Yixin said worriedly: "You used the real defense map to lure people out, have you ever considered what would happen if they really sent the defense map out?"

More than 30 years ago, Western Xia sent spies to steal the defense map. At that time, Zhao Jin went all the way south to track them down. By accident, he met Su Yixin and she helped him, and then he intercepted the defense map.

Why did they let the spies run so far with the defense map? It was simply because they thought the spies would send the defense map back to Western Xia immediately after getting it. So Fang Mengfu, who was the deputy commander at the time, led half of the Dragon Guards to chase in the northwest direction, but they were fooled by the Western Xia spies and failed.

Instead, Zhao Jin noticed some clues and headed south alone. The reinforcements behind him could not catch up with his pace, causing him to be in danger several times and almost lose his life.

Although it was not thirty-three years ago. Similarly, the spies this time were not the Xixia of that time. They were facing the more deeply hidden and more shrewd Liao spies.

Who knows how many cards and tricks he has?

This move is too risky.

"The defense map has been changed again."

Su Yixin looked at Gu Qingjue: "Fake?"

"Most of it is true, but the defense maps of a few important towns have been changed."

"Didn't you say before that this spy is in the court? He might be someone who is very familiar with the defense map. If he sees through your plan, not only will your planning over the past few months be in vain, but he might just go silent and you won't be able to find him no matter what tricks you use in the future."

"Mr. Pan used a secret method."

Su Yixin: "..., this is a solution."

She was also worried, but His Majesty and Gu Qingjue and the others would not have thought of this, they must have had a way to deal with it long ago. Lord Pan was a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator and the head of the Pan family, so it was normal for him to know some secret methods that others did not know.

In this way, Su Yixin felt relieved.

After saying this, Su Yixin discussed with Gu Qingjue about attending Princess Xuan's birthday banquet today.

"Soul-guiding formation?"

"Yes, the soul-attracting array was originally used to attract ghosts, regardless of good or bad. However, the soul-attracting array in Prince Xuan's Mansion has been modified. It is no longer used to attract ghosts, but to attract the luck of all people with a similar fate to the soul-attracting array in Kyoto, and then use the special structure of Prince Xuan's Mansion to transfer it to the beneficiary."

Su Yixin continued: "I walked around the Prince Xuan's Mansion and basically confirmed that the beneficiary is Prince Xuan."

People with pure hearts would not use such secret methods.

This is depriving others of their luck.

In the words of those who practice cultivation, you will definitely be punished by heaven.

Is it because Zhao Jin is not a cultivator that he doesn't believe in this evil?

Gu Qingjue looked solemn, and whispered: "..., Zhao Jin."

Is it what he thinks?

His opponent was very familiar with him, and he didn't need to say that he knew him like the back of his hand, but it was true that his plans had been seen through by his opponent several times recently, so that not only did he fail, but he was also fooled by the opponent.

He suspected many people, but not Zhao Jin.

After all, when they first met, Zhao Jin was dealing with Xixia spies and intercepted the defense map in time.

How could such a person become a spy for the Liao Dynasty?

But once you have doubts, and then put the recent events into context, all the unreasonable things will have reasonable explanations.

Gu Qingjue was in a bad mood.

He sat next to Su Yixin, recalling every detail of his meeting with Zhao Jin.

To Gu Qingjue, Zhao Jin is both a brother and a friend.

He gave him a lot of advice before he entered the court, and the two often corresponded in their early years. Gu Qingjue felt that apart from Nong Zhigao and Yang Junsheng, he was also one of his best friends.

Su Yixin looked at Gu Qingjue who was in a bad mood and sat quietly beside him.

She figured out some things.

Gu Qingjue is so smart, he will think of more than her.

She would not comfort him by saying that maybe they were wrong and misunderstood him.

But once many things are connected, they are basically confirmed.

There aren't so many misunderstandings, it's just a coincidence.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Qingjue stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace. I may not be back tonight. You should go to bed early."

"it is good."

As expected, Gu Qingjue did not come back until the next morning. He had blue stubble on his beard and bloodshot eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept the whole night.

It’s easy to guess that the plan must have been adjusted overnight.

The common people could sense that the wind in Kyoto had suddenly changed. Not only were there more patrolling officers and soldiers, but even entering and leaving the city gates was not as convenient as before. Especially when leaving the city, the coffin lids had to be lifted up to be seen.

Because of this, the people do have a lot of complaints.

The main thing is that it delays business. If you earn less money, you will naturally be upset.

"What happened? Why are they suddenly investigating so strictly?"

"Yes, yes. When I woke up this morning, it felt like the weather had changed. I haven't seen anything like this in years."

"No, I won't..."

Someone immediately said, "Shut up your crow mouth and stop guessing."
