All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

When Shen Lingxi saw that Yunhongshan's soul was still there, she felt relieved.

There are many places where the confession is vague, just ask Yun Hongshan, and it will be clear.

But before that—
"Do you want to put your head on first before talking to me?" Shen Lingxi reminded at the right time.

She, the "former uncle of the emperor", has a romantic nature and has always paid the most attention to appearance.

After she reminded her, Yun Hongshan realized that there seemed to be something wrong with him.

He lowered his head (to be precise, he turned his head upside down) to look at it, and roared, "Bold! Who dares to harm this king like this!"

Shen Lingxi looked at him with a smile, "You think about it again?"

Yun Hongshan frowned, as if remembering carefully, he finally remembered something, and cursed: "This poisonous woman Xiao murdered my king's life, and Yun Chao, a rebellious son, destroyed my body. This king will never forgive them!"

As he spoke, he flew up in a panic.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Xie Zhangting next to him.

If it was said that Xie Zhangting still treated Shen Lingxi just now, there was a little doubt.

Seeing Yun Hongshan's reaction, Xie Zhangting completely believed it.

Back when she and Yun Hongshan were in the Tongque Garden, even if she frowned, Yun Hongshan would try to make him happy.

When was it like this now, when she stood in front of him, he never recognized her.

Seeing Xie Zhangting's heartbroken look, Shen Lingxi sighed softly: "I'll go up and have a look, and trouble my aunt to stay here. If there are still dead souls in these porcelain vases, please ask my aunt to bring them along." Find me."

Xie Zhangting heard the words, wiped away her tears, and nodded in response.

Shen Lingxi went up the steps and walked into the room. Through the open window, she saw the white ghost of Yunhong Mountain, which disappeared from sight.

She had no intention of chasing after him at all.

When Yun Hongshan found Xiao Wangfei angrily and found that there was nothing he could do about her, he would run back and ask her for help.

At that time, it was time for her to make a move.

Shen Lingxi looked around, and was surprised to find that Mu Huai'an, who was waiting for her up there, had disappeared just now.

An oil lamp was burning in the room.

Shen Lingxi walked to the table, and there was a note on it.

In Mu Huai'an's elegant and elegant handwriting, it was written: "I have something to go back to the house, and we can talk about it in detail at another day."

This was Shen Lingxi's first time seeing Mu Huai'an, she left halfway through the investigation of the case.

The inside and outside of Yunjiang Palace were sealed off by Chu Yan's order, so naturally it was not the Mu family who sent a letter to let him go back.

There must be something else hidden in this.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes as if feeling something, and looked at the idyllic painting hanging on the wall.

In her mind, she recalled the steps Mu Huai'an had just taken to open the secret door of the secret room.

The mechanism for opening the door is on the left side of the painting, and the secret door is on the right side of the painting.

Mu Huai'an almost didn't hesitate to reach out to the left side to find the mechanism, and his gaze at that time happened to fall on the right side of the painting...

It was as if he knew how to open the secret room very well.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi frowned slightly.

She was sure that before entering the house, Mu Huai'an didn't know the way to Yunjiang Palace, and he was completely unfamiliar with this courtyard.

Then the problem should lie in the painting.

Does this painting have anything to do with the Mu family?
Shen Lingxi looked at the painting carefully again, but didn't see any clues.

She simply put the note away, put it in her sleeve, and walked out of the room with the lantern in hand.

Candles were brightly lit in the yard, and the incense burners around had been cleaned up.

In just a short while, the night wind has blown away the smell in the courtyard.

A doctor is carrying a medical box, treating the unconscious wounded in the hospital.

Candles were lit in the east wing.

Chun Jun stood guard at the door, saw Shen Lingxi coming out from the upper room, and hurriedly turned to report: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has come out."

Shen Lingxi was slightly surprised, and quickly walked into the room.

At this moment, Chu Yan was adjusting his breath on the bed, and seemed to hear her footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, and the phoenix pupils were already clear.

Shen Lingxi walked up to him, and reached out to check his pulse in doubt.

The pulse is neither floating nor sinking, moderate and strong...it doesn't seem to have been "enchanted" or drugged at all.

You know, the pill she gave him just now, although it is not as powerful as the 'Thousand Gold Fragrance', it can still make ordinary people sleep for a day and a night, how could it be so fast...

"I have been taking anti-drug pills all year round, and the drugs don't have much effect on me." Chu Yan explained in a warm voice.

When Shen Lingxi heard the words, her almond eyes narrowed slightly.

Ordinarily, in this Great Zhou Dynasty, as Chu Yan, there must be many guards around him, and the guards are strict, so why does he need to take the anti-drug pill all the year round?

"What did you find in the secret room?" Chu Yan deliberately changed the subject, as if unwilling to talk more.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi didn't delve into the matter, and withdrew her hand.

Although the drug is ineffective, the effect of "intoxication" cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Otherwise, how could Xie Zhanghua go crazy back then.

The length of the medicinal effect of "intoxication" depends on the obsession in people's hearts.

This is also the reason why they dragged Xie Zhangting's last breath and let Xie Zhanghua die after seeing her.

Only in this way, Xie Zhangting's death will become Xie Zhanghua's obsession.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi asked without answering: "Is there any other discomfort, Your Highness? For example, when you close your eyes, do you still have any hallucinations in your mind?"

"No." Chu Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

He paused, "It's a pity that Urda ran away."

"Why did Your Highness fall for Uerda's Zhu Youshu?"

Shen Lingxi thought about it and asked, "With His Highness's skill, Wu Erda will definitely not be able to get close to His Highness. Besides, in this courtyard, you can't see your fingers, how can you not be able to see his eyes, so how can you get Zhu Youshu?"

"Without seeing his eyes, he can also create hallucinations with sound, smoke and fire tricks."

Chu Yan said in a deep voice: "When we entered the courtyard, the courtyard was filled with smoke. From time to time, there were fires flying through the smoke, black shadows attacked us everywhere, and there were ghosts howling. At first, we couldn't tell the enemy from ourselves, but later, There are fierce ghosts demanding their lives in front of them."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that the censers in the courtyard were not only to make them "intoxicated", but also to create smoke to make false appearances in order to perform Zhu Youshu.

only……

"If Wu Erdao was only for escape, he shouldn't have arranged so many things in this courtyard. With his ability, he should have escaped a long time ago. Why did he spend so much time arranging formations in this courtyard?" Shen Lingxi's eyes were full It is doubt.

Judging from the porcelain vases in the cellar, Ur probably didn't expect them to find the secret room, and he didn't even intend to transfer the contents of the secret room.

Why did they set up an ambush against Chu Yan in this courtyard?

If he was trying to take Chu Yan's life, the assassin could rely on illusions and concentrate on assassinating him.

Even if Chu Yan is strong in martial arts, he should still be injured.

But there were no traces of fighting on Chu Yanzhou's body, as if... Wuerda was trapping people here on purpose.

What is his intention?
Could it be... just like how he dealt with Xie Zhanghua back then, planting the illusion of "intoxication" on Chu Yan?

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly.

How could Chu Yan not think of what she thought of.

Chu Yan's eyelids moved slightly, hiding the thoughts in his eyes, and said to Shen Lingxi: "No matter what he wants to do, as long as he has a plan, he will definitely show up again, and then we will catch the turtle in our urn. The most urgent thing is to find out this Regarding the matter in the palace, Chunjun said that you came here after an autopsy, did you find anything?"

As if answering his question——

Shen Lingxi suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the courtyard.

She turned her head and saw the group of female ghosts, surrounded by a white shadow covered with "tentacles", floating into the courtyard from outside the wall...
