I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 84

When Yu Taiqing's carriage reached the gate of the palace, it was already dark.Although the palace gate was keyed, the guards guarding the gate had already obtained the order and specially opened the small gate on the side to lead Yu Taiqing and Chu Xian in.

Layers of palaces stretched in the night, with a cold and murderous air.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, the moonlight is faint, and it can't illuminate the deep palace.

An internal servant led the way with a shofar lantern, leading Yu Taiqing all the way to the palace.

Chu Xian glanced at Yu Taiqing, seeing that his expression was in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Could it be that he was still thinking about the fire just now?

Chu Xian was really surprised, he really couldn't figure out how the fire started just now, and why it was so big that they asked him to go in to put out the fire.

He really wanted to ask, but seeing Mrs. Yu's distraught look, he felt that it was useless to ask.

After exiting the long and narrow alley, the servant turned right with a lantern in hand. If he was going to the imperial study, he should have gone left.

Although Chu Xian said that he didn't enter the palace many times, he also noticed that the servant had gone wrong, but Yu Taiqing still didn't notice it.

Chu Xian could only cough lightly, and asked the servant: "Is Your Majesty not in the Imperial Study?"

The servant suppressed his throat and said with a smile: "The servant was negligent. He forgot to inform Yu Dujian and Captain Chu. Your Majesty is not in the Imperial Study Room at this time, but in the Observatory of Stars. Heyu Mountain is here today."

"Heyu Mountain?" Mrs. Yu walked all the way from Tianshu Division, her mind was always in a mess, and she didn't know what she was thinking.Until this moment, Fang came back to his senses.

Mount Heyu is the Taoist mountain of the Yuncang Sect, and the disciples of the Yuncang Sect practiced in Mount Heyu apart from working in the Tianshu Division.If any disciple of Heyu Mountain came down the mountain to meet the emperor directly, it must be someone from the Yuncang Sect who would be as light as possible.

In the case of Kong Yu's murder at the Peony Banquet today, although the victim was only the daughter of a general counselor, King Liu'an, King Kang, and Princess Jing'an were all present at the banquet. , it may also kill them.

Among other things, both the Forbidden Army and Tianshu Division will have to be charged with negligence this time.

However, even so, the matter was not so serious that the emperor summoned the commander of Tianshu Division and the capital supervisor into the palace overnight, but it turned out that it was He Yushan who came.

The people from Heyushan must have met him, the new capital supervisor.

"I don't know who came from Heyu Mountain?"

The waiter bowed and replied: "I don't know about it either, Yu Dujian will know when he arrives at the Observation Tower."

The Guanxing Building is a nine-story tower, located in the northeast corner of the palace, but it is not in the palace. very close.

There are people coming down Heyu Mountain, and they never live in Lan'an City, but stay here.

******
In the tower room on the eighth floor of the Star Observation Building, the sill window facing north is wide open.

The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Lan'an City.

Under the night, the dots of lights decorate Lan'an City brilliantly and spectacularly.

The eaves and corners of the pavilions, the moving lanterns in the palace market, the figures of the imperial guards passing by while patrolling in the distance...

All of these, from a high place, are so small.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque.

This feeling of ascending has a special taste.

Chief Chief Youfu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Yu capital has arrived."

The emperor nodded, ordered people to close the sill window, turned around and looked at Yu Taiqing who had followed the servant into the room, and pointed upwards.

Yu Taiqing instantly understood that people from Mount Heyu should watch the sky on the ninth-floor platform. The walls have ears, so they should be cautious when speaking.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow narrow-sleeved uniform. He was in his 40s.

"Taiqing, Elder Yuan and Lei Yan are watching the sky above, and you can talk with me. At the Peony Banquet today, the daughter of the general counselor doctor died, and you were also there. Did you find anything?" The emperor lifted his robe. Sit down, pick up the teacup on the table and ask.

Mrs. Yu replied with discretion: "Your Majesty, there are too few clues at present, and the case has not made any progress. However, as far as I can see, this case is consistent with the death of the Fengyanglou chess official a few days ago. It was the same demon who committed the crime. This demon will definitely not let it go, and will commit another murder."

"The case of Fengyang Tower? Could it be that the woman who died was a chess player?" asked the emperor.

Yu Taiqing nodded: "This case has been transferred to Dali Temple two days ago, and I request that the two cases be investigated together."

The emperor nodded in agreement.

At this time, footsteps sounded on the steps, and Lei Yan accompanied a Taoist priest into the house.

This person is over 50 years old, holding a whisk, and looks like a fairy.He was thin and thin, with a compassionate look on his face, as if he was infinitely worried about all beings in the world.

He is Yuan Feng, the elder of the Yuncang Sect, and his status in the sect is second only to the head of the sect, Wang Yu.He practiced on Heyu Mountain on weekdays and did not go down the mountain often.Yu Taiqing only came to Dajin from Nanzhao last year, so the two of them have never seen each other.

Yuan Feng looked at Yu Taiqing, his long eyes that were originally slightly squinted suddenly widened, but the bottom of his eyes was completely white, at first glance he looked like a blind person.

Although Yuan Feng is an elder of the Yuncang School, he is not good at killing monsters, but good at divination and sky observation.

He can open his heavenly eyes several times a year, observe the sky to recognize good and bad, and gain insight into the truth that ordinary people cannot know.Tonight, when he was watching the sky, he opened his sky eye, but he hadn't closed it yet, when he saw Yu Taiqing suddenly, he was surprised.

Yuan Feng asked: "Are you the newly appointed Chief Superintendent of Tianshu Division by Your Majesty?"

The emperor glanced at Yuan Feng's face, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said, "This is Yu Taiqing, the son of my sister, Princess Wenning, who came to Dajin from Nanzhao last year. Take a job."

The emperor looked at Yu Taiqing and motioned, "Taiqing, come and pay respects to Elder Yuan."

Yu Taiqian stepped forward to salute Yuan Feng, Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes again, and said slowly: "Come from a long way from Nanzhao? From my point of view, you are not from Nanzhao."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face instantly became ugly.

According to rumors, the emperor also heard a little bit.

It is said that Yu Taiqing is not the son of Nanzhao King, but rumors are rumors after all.Now being pointed out by Yuan Feng, it is as if confirmed, which is somewhat embarrassing.

Chu Xian lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yu Taiqing's face, a gleam flashed in Lei Yan's eyes, as if he had grasped something important about Yu Taiqing.

The tower room was silent.

Yu Taiqing asked with a smile on her lips: "Dare to ask Elder Yuan, I am not from Nanzhao, but where?"

Yuan Feng smiled slightly, and opened his eyes, which were as white as falling snow.

Yu Tai leaned into his eyes, and felt a white light bursting out from his eyes and sweeping across her body.The light shone, as if it wanted to penetrate his skin, penetrate inside, and pierce his soul.

"Can't see clearly, can't see through, how could it be like this?" Yuan Feng murmured like a demon.

Yu Taiqing stood silently, her expression changed slightly.
