Chapter 207 Meeting Her Again

"Where is he?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.

Liu Meiren covered her lips and smiled lightly, "I was blown to the back mountain by the evil spirit on Xiao Langjun's body. I just woke up, and now I am whining around Xiao Langjun."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and said in doubt: "However, the strange thing is that the color of his soul and body I saw today seems to be much lighter than before. Why?"

Shen Lingxi got out of bed to freshen up, and explained to her: "Because he is a dead man, he killed too many evils in his lifetime, and the King of Hades will not let his dead soul stay in the world for too long. Moreover, this kind of killer has long been a mortal man. Be prepared, there is no obsession after death."

"Ordinary people die and become dead souls. If there is no obsession, the soul will dissipate in as short as seven days and as long as three months. This kind of killer will disappear forever if it is as short as one day, as long as three or five days." gone."

Liu Meiren was surprised and said: "So that kid will disappear soon? Why don't you hurry up and ask him to find a way to find out the truth?"

Shen Lingxi smiled, noncommittal.

There are not many dead men in Yun country left in this world, they only obey her scumbag brother.

Even if they are alive, don't try to pry something out of their mouths, let alone a stubborn ghost.

"No need, he is just a young man who obeys orders. Last night, the princess gave me useful information. I just need to go back to Beijing and follow the content on the note to find his upper peak, and everything will be answered." She said softly.

Hearing her mention of the first concubine, Liu Meiren felt a little embarrassed.

"Early this morning, Mr. Xiao Lang went to the bedroom next door. Although he couldn't see his aunt's dead soul, he knew that his aunt was in that hall, so he didn't know what to say. His aunt was crying and laughing at the same time. It seems to have untied the knot."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, she was genuinely happy for their mother and son, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Seeing this, Meiren Liu tutted around her, "Little girl, I see you, you really like Xiao Langjun."

After saying this with a smile, she blinked at Shen Lingxi and floated out suddenly.

The smile on Shen Lingxi's lips froze slightly.

Like it?

Because of the extremely embarrassing experience yesterday morning, Shen Lingxi had a good time freshening up in the dormitory, combed herself into a neat bun, and could not find any faults in her body, then opened the hall door and walked out.

This time, there were not so many people guarding outside the hall.

Sheng Xie was waiting outside the hall. Seeing Shen Lingxi coming out, he saluted and said, "Miss Shen, Your Highness is going down to pay homage to Emperor Xiaode. Before leaving, His Highness told you to wait for the girl to eat breakfast. If there is nothing wrong, let your subordinates Take the girl to look around the imperial mausoleum."

Emperor Xiaode is Chu Yan's father, the posthumous title given to him after the death of the first prince.

Shen Lingxi looked at Sheng Xie, her eyebrows moved slightly.

She tentatively asked: "I heard that in the Shouling Palace, there lives a concubine princess from Yunjiang. I want to ask her for help with something. I wonder if I can meet her?"

A look of surprise flashed in Sheng Xie's eyes.

"Did His Highness tell the girl that Emperor Liang is in the Shouling Palace?" He asked cautiously, wondering.

Shen Lingxi responded vaguely. Seeing his cautious appearance, she guessed in her heart that he might not be able to make the decision, so she said, "If it's inconvenient, then..."

"After the girl has finished her breakfast, my subordinate will take you there." Sheng Xie saluted.

Shen Lingxi never imagined that it would be so easy to enter the Shouling Palace.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart, "I'm not hungry yet, the business is important, let's go now."

Sheng Xie did not suspect him, and led Shen Lingxi towards the Shouling Palace.

The Shouling Palace is located inside the inner wall of the imperial mausoleum, adjacent to the tomb of Emperor Xiaode. It is a very large palace garden.

Thanks to the little eunuch's previous assassination, the Habayashi guards inside and outside the imperial mausoleum were all replaced with black armored guards under Chu Yan's command.

Therefore, Shen Lingxi followed Sheng Xie without any hindrance, and went directly into the gate of the Shouling Palace.

The head of the Shouling Palace is a very shrewd eunuch in his early forties. His surname is Zhu, and he is a distant relative of Zhu Lianxi, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace.

Hearing that Sheng Xie wanted to see Yun Liangdi, Eunuch Zhu looked at Shen Lingxi who was following Sheng Xie calmly with his eyes.

He smiled and said: "General Sheng must know that outsiders are not allowed to enter this mausoleum palace on weekdays. What's more, His Highness has previously explained that no outsiders are allowed to touch Yun Liangdi. You bring this Taoist priest here today. Your Highness over there..."

"This Taoist priest is not an outsider." Sheng Xie said righteously: "She is the concubine who is about to enter the East Palace with His Highness, and the decree of the marriage will be announced to the world soon."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhu hurriedly bowed to Shen Lingxi, "It's the servant who has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, and didn't recognize the girl."

Shen Lingxi said politely: "My father-in-law guards the tomb for the Tian family. He has worked hard and made great achievements, so there is no need to be polite."

Eunuch Zhu saw that although she was wearing a Taoist robe, she had the calm and dignified manner of a high-ranking person in her gestures, and her expression was much more respectful.

Eunuch Zhu led the way and took the two of them to the southwest corner of the Shouling Palace, in front of a quiet and elegant courtyard.

He knocked on the door lightly and said with a smile: "Di Yun Liangdi, a distinguished guest has come to see you."

With a sound of "squeak", the door opened from the inside, and a little maid with a bun and delicate features came out to welcome her.

The little servant girl bowed to the three of them: "Grandpa Zhu, Concubine Liang just got up, she is still dressing up, please come to the upper room to wait for the distinguished guests."

Eunuch Zhu made a "please" gesture to Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi smiled and nodded, thinking about how to get rid of Shengxie——
But Sheng Xie was already standing sideways by the courtyard gate, "This subordinate is waiting for you outside."

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi's smile deepened.

It has to be said that Chu Yan's subordinates have always won her heart in handling affairs, and they are very smart.

Shen Lingxi followed the little maid to the upper room, and as soon as she entered the door, the familiar little aunt's aura rushed towards her.

The layout and colors of the entire room are exactly the same as when the little aunt was in the medicine palace.

The only difference is that there is an embroidery frame near the window.

On the embroidery frame, stretched a half-embroidered landscape painting.

Shen Lingxi walked in front of the landscape painting, stopped in her tracks, glanced at the familiar outlines, tears welled up in her eyes.

Cloud country landscape map.

It was a dowry given to my aunt by my mother.

The original picture has been cut into pieces by people with ulterior motives.

Many fragments are still missing.

Little aunt learns embroidery in this mausoleum palace, is it because she wants to restore this embroidery picture to express her homesickness?

Shen Lingxi stretched out her hand tremblingly, with her green fingertips, she was about to caress the upper embroidered picture——
"Sorry for keeping the girl waiting."

A gentle voice came from behind Shen Lingxi.

When Shen Lingxi heard this voice, tears filled her eyes instantly.

It's little aunt.

She breathed slightly, and was about to turn around.

Suddenly heard, the little aunt said again: "There are still a few parts of this embroidery picture that have not been embroidered. Is the girl going to take it away today?"
