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

Chapter 196
As Chu Yan said, he had already walked to Shen Lingxi's side. The tall and straight figure enveloped Shen Lingxi invisibly.

His thin lips curved happily, and his deep eyes were fixed on Mu Huai'an.

The jealousy that had been suppressed in his eyes since just now has disappeared into nothingness at this moment.

Mu Huai'an naturally didn't dare to have any opinion on him.

He looked at Shen Lingxi resentfully, "Why did you tell His Highness instead of me?"

"You told me yourself that when I was a 'best friend', you...you were not righteous." He complained dissatisfied.

The smile on Chu Yan's lips froze slightly.

I remembered that Shen Lingxi once said that Mu Huai'an is a "best friend", and he came from the phrase "meet by chance".

Mu Huai'an caught a glimpse of his expression, and finally relieved his gloomy mood a lot.

Shen Lingxi didn't feel that there was anything between the two——
The female ghosts around them all looked excited and looked at them with burning eyes.

Being surrounded by such gazes, Shen Lingxi felt uncomfortable all over.

She just wanted to end this scene as soon as possible.

"Shaoqing's memory is not good, should I remind you?"

Shen Lingxi looked at Mu Huai'an, and said sincerely: "On the second day when I made a big wedding banquet for Yaoniang, Shaoqing threatened me with manipulating the corpse, and it didn't take long, Shaoqing Why did you forget it so quickly? If I told you at that time, I could see the souls of the dead...couldn’t it be that I handed the knife to your hand?”

Mu Huai'an made a point.

He admitted that he valued Shen Lingxi's ability at the beginning, and in order to take her for his own use... he really did something by hook or by crook.

But at that time, how could he have imagined that it would fall into the hands of this little girl in the end.

Now, he is really a boomerang, darts into the heart, full of bitterness and nowhere to express.

Seeing that he was speechless, Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes curved, "It's true that I was Shaoqing and a good friend, but Shaoqing didn't regard me as a close friend at first..."

"Shaoqing has a bad memory, but I have a good memory. You know that I will repay my kindness, and I will also repay my grudges. Now we are even, and we will be true friends in the future."

After saying this, she saluted Chu Yan and Mu Huai'an, passed them and walked outside.

It's rare for Mu Huai'an to be deflated, with a handsome face and a pale face.

At this moment, Chu Yan only felt that his mood was very comfortable, and even Mu Huai'an in front of him felt much more pleasing to the eye.

He stretched out his hand, patted Mu Huai'an's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Peizhi, the ancients said, 'Don't do evil because it's small, don't do it because goodness is small', how could you do something to threaten the little girl? What? Gu really never imagined that you are such a person, hey!"

Chu Yan let out a long and serious sigh, hooked his lips into a smile, and walked outside him.

Mu Huai'an took a deep breath, swallowed the sourness in his mouth, and let out a "tsk".

Looking at the back of the emperor's grandson, he murmured: "Since there must be repayment of kindness and revenge, has she forgotten that this one deliberately tested her in front of the assassin? No, I also You have to remind her."

With that thought in mind, he stepped forward to catch up.

Because Chu Yan specially dispatched many craftsmen from the nearby Pei County to the palace.

The dismantling of the Ksitigarbha Hall and the backfilling of the Suohun Well went hand in hand. The craftsmen worked hard all night. By the early morning of the second day, the Ksitigarbha Temple and the Suohun Well had been almost destroyed.

Once a hall and a well were destroyed, the magic circle hidden in it naturally lost its effectiveness.

Those ex-dynasties and concubines, who had been trapped in this palace for decades, were finally able to get out of the palace, and all of them floated out excitedly.

They all want to appreciate the beauty of the world again before reincarnating.

Shen Lingxi discussed with Su Xian, and decided to wait for them to play enough, and then pick an auspicious time to reincarnate for them.

At this time, Chunjun also found out the identity of the little eunuch who turned into an old man.

Chunjun: "The little eunuch's name is Gui Sheng. He is not the eunuch serving in the palace, but he was transferred from the Taimiao to accompany the imperial driver to the imperial mausoleum. He is mainly responsible for some chores of the mausoleum sacrifice. He appeared in the imperial study that day. , just because the eunuch serving outside the imperial study was not feeling well, so he was temporarily arrested to take over. Now he has gone to the imperial mausoleum with Shengjia."

Chu Yan tapped the table with his fingers, "He has been lurking in the palace for so long, and he knows the grievances between Mrs. Cheng'en Gong and the Liu family very well. Since he planned these things in advance, he must have a later move. Pass down the order and let the imperial mausoleum The hidden guards, watch his every move, don't startle the snake, Gu will rush over immediately."

Shen Lingxi was listening, her eyes lit up.

She was worried that she didn't know how to speak, and went to the imperial tomb for a walk.

Isn't that good.

"I'll go too." She looked at Chu Yan with bright almond eyes: "It happens that the female ghost sisters all want to go out of the palace for a walk, we can take them there, do things at the imperial tomb, and save them. "

It was rare for Chu Yan to see Shen Lingxi so interested, so naturally he would not refuse.

He turned his eyes to look at Mu Huai'an: "Pei Zhi stayed here to supervise the fortifications here."

Mu Huaian ground his teeth.

Don't even think about kicking him out.

He drooped his eyes, raised his hands, and said in embarrassment: "The lower official also wants to stay and share His Highness's worries... It's just that the emperor asked the lower official to cooperate with His Highness to investigate this case. If the lower official stays here, the Emperor knows that His Highness has always had a heart. I'm afraid His Highness is worried. If the Emperor randomly sends someone in front of His Highness, it will be inconvenient for Miss Shen to handle the case... Your Highness, please think twice."

The less people know about Shen Lingxi being able to see ghosts, the better.

She was so interested in the case that she couldn't help getting involved.

If the emperor really sent someone to follow them, it would be in the way.

Although Chu Yan saw the small calculations in Mu Huai'an's heart, he knew that what he said was true, so he had no choice but to leave Chunjun in the palace to deal with the aftermath.

A group of people plus thirty or so ghosts rushed to the imperial mausoleum at high speed.

When they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, the emperor's mausoleum sacrifice ceremony had already begun.

The Mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty is backed by the foot of Yongshou Mountain, and it is very majestic and magnificent.

The accompanying officials and palace people, under the arrangement of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites, performed their respective duties, and the mighty guard of honor was laid out, which looked very grand and magnificent from a distance.

Chu Yan is the crown prince, since he arrived just in time for the mausoleum sacrifice, he naturally had to follow the emperor and go to the main mausoleum to worship.

Because Chu Yan had arranged for Chunjun in advance, Fei Ge sent a letter to the secret guard here to find the little eunuch and closely monitor him.

Shen Lingxi simply took this opportunity, together with Mu Huai'an and Su Xian, led the female ghosts, led by the embroiderer, to find the little eunuch to spy on the truth.

The little eunuch was resting at the Temple and Sacrifice Office, which was in charge of the mausoleum sacrifice.

It was an independent courtyard beside the imperial mausoleum.

The embroidered envoy who led the way pushed open the courtyard door, and the palace people and officials were all serving at the ceremony, and the courtyard was very quiet.

He whispered: "Since last night, that little eunuch ate something bad and kept running to the latrine, vomiting and diarrhea. Today he asked for leave, and he is still resting in the room and has never gone out."

With that said, he walked to a room and pushed open the door with a "squeak".

Shen Lingxi stared, and saw a thin figure, curled up into a ball, lying on the bed silently...
