"Since it is about your father, let you go and meet him."

"..."

Minamoto Noraimitsu and Ian looked at each other with some doubts in their eyes.

After all, according to previous predictions, after Minamoto Yorimitsu made such a request, Fujiwara Tokuko should have refused - or even if it didn't work, he should have been a little panicked.

But at this moment she was so indifferent.

This shows that she may be ready.

It's just that it's over.

Ian knew he couldn't give up halfway.

Minamoto Yorimitsu also understands this truth.

"Then there's Queen Lao."

[You and Minamoto Yorimitsu followed Fujiwara Tokuko. 】

[You passed through the corridor of Heian Palace. 】

[You have arrived at a rather luxurious room. 】

[It is extremely heavily guarded. 】

to be frank.

If he hadn't seen Tokuko Fujiwara leading the way, Ian would probably have felt that he had arrived at some kind of duel field.

There were eighteen guards standing in the corridor leading to the room.

They all held the same style of swords, and their expressions looked extremely serious.

Coupled with the swaying lights on both sides of the wall, it presents a scene where strangers are not allowed to approach.

The three of them walked forward slowly under this gaze.

"arrive."

Fujiwara Tokuko, who had reached the end, turned around and looked at Ian and Minamoto no Yorimitsu behind him.

"You all come in."

"He's right here."

A swipe.

The shoji door was pushed open.

Ian and Minamoto Yorimitsu followed Fujiwara Tokuko into the room.

It's just that the sight in front of me is somewhat surprising.

I saw a man over fifty years old sitting at the table holding a brush and writing something.

On the side, there is a birdcage hanging on the shelf, and the canary inside is lowering its head and pecking at bird food.

"This……"

Minamoto no Yoriguang looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

After all, this is completely different from the situation analyzed by her husband.

But before she could think about the situation clearly, Fujiwara Tokuko on the side spoke directly.

"Go ahead, General Yuan."

"Tell me everything you want to report."

"..."

Minamoto norimitsu looked back at Ian.

After the latter nodded slightly, she no longer hesitated.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu never did things based on lies - she did have something to report to the Karasuba Emperor.

[Minamoto Yorimitsu arrives in front of Karasuba Hierophant. 】

[She reported on the conflicts that have existed between the Heping clan since her father's generation. 】

[Her tone is very sincere and serious. 】

[You know this is not a reason she made up on the spur of the moment - it's something that really happened. 】

[But you know that the focus of your observation this time is not Minamoto Noraimitsu. 】

[The person you really want to observe is the Karasuba Emperor who is very different from your expectations. 】

[You looked at him and the scene around him, and suddenly realized something. 】

[The talented Onmyoji +++ has been activated: You have seen through the Yin and Yang formation in the King's room. 】

"I see."

King Karasuba nodded, but his hand holding the brush never stopped.

"General Yuan, I understand what you think."

"I will find time to deal with these matters."

Minamoto Yorimitsu felt the perfunctory nature of this answer.

When she was about to continue saying something, Ian on the side spoke first.

"understood."

"Thank you, His Holiness, for your immense grace."

"The Emperor has many affairs, so I won't disturb you and will take my leave first."

After saying this, Ian took Yui Laiguang's hand and left here directly.

[You and Minamoto Yorimitsu left the room where the Emperor was. 】

[You have left the Peace Palace. 】

[You have arrived at the Kyoto road outside. 】

[After confirming that no one was following, you slowed down. 】

"Husband."

"You are..."

Minamoto norimitsu looked at Ian beside him, his mind was full of the scene of rushing out just now.

to be frank.

She was very confused.

But Yorimitsu Minamoto did not stop Ian's actions - she believed that her husband must have a reason for doing what he did.

5五⒋70⑦五⑤⑤

So it wasn't until now that she slowed down that she spoke for the first time.

"lady."

Ian held Minamoto Noraimitsu's hand, and even his breathing became a little serious.

"The King of France is indeed dead."

"what?"

[You explained everything to Minamoto no Yorimitsu. 】

[The calligraphy that never stops, and the canary that never comes out of its cage. 】

[The Emperor's soul is fixed at a certain moment during his lifetime. 】

[The sound he made when talking to Minamoto no Yorimitsu just now was definitely not his own will. 】

[The current Emperor is just a death puppet to prevent Heian Kyo from falling into chaos. 】

"This……"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu knew that Ian would never talk nonsense - especially in front of him.

"Then the queen did all this?"

Ian shook his head and nodded again.

"not quite."

"The Queen should indeed be the one who secretly ordered these things to be done to the Emperor."

"But the specific caster is someone else."

Ian wasn't bullshitting.

After all, if the queen really knew the art of onmyoji, she might have been able to see through the "fox corpse" problem at a glance during the previous court meeting.

After all, it was a counterfeit made of "earth".

If she was able to make up for the Onmyoji formations spread throughout Heianjing, it would be impossible for her not to understand this.

This shows that behind Fujiwara Tokuko, there must be another Onmyoji.

"Then what should we do now?"

Minamoto norimitsu looked at the great onmyoji next to him.

"Are you going to expose her immediately?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"lady."

"I still don't know what is the thing that maintains this formation - after all, it is not a simple thing to use the soul of the deceased in this way."

"Even if you want to expose all this, I'm afraid no one will be convinced."

"That--"

Minamoto Noraimitsu looked at his husband.

"Husband, what should we do next?"

"..."

"Lai Guang." Ian looked at the streets of Kyoto with a heavy expression.

"I'm afraid I have to think about it again."

"Let's go back first."

"Many things are not suitable to be said outside."

"……Right."

[What Minamoto Yorimitsu doesn’t know is. 】

[Besides the need to keep it secret, there is actually another reason why you want to go back to the mansion. 】

【That is Tamamo-mae. 】

[You realize that her capture was not an accident - because there is another great Onmyoji in Heian Kyo. 】

[And it is impossible for Fujiwara Tokuko to imprison the Emperor's soul there forever. 】

[After all, it will definitely arouse suspicion after a long time. 】

[She must find a way to solve this problem once and for all. 】

[Then - as a fox demon, Tamamo Mae is the perfect scapegoat. 】

Because he is a fox demon, he can blame all problems on Tamamo Mae.

Because he is a fox demon, even if there are many strange things about the death of the King of France, it is reasonable.

Because she is a fox demon, she has to bear sins that she should not have to bear, and no one will avenge her.

This is the reason why Tamamo-mae must enter the court.

She is the perfect sinner and the tribute of the Queen's regent.
