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

Chapter 212 What's new again, can I learn it?
Shen Lingxi heard Chu Yan's question and was keenly aware of the tentative meaning in it.

"You don't need Yun Huang to tell me this..." She said with a smile, "Your Highness may have forgotten that those Yunjiang people who were buried in the pond in Manyi Fang Zhizi Mansion complained to me for two whole days... ...This time is not long, and it is not short, but it tells me a lot about things in Yunjiang, like a storybook."

Chu Yan looked up at her eyebrows.

The tears shed at the previous moment still seemed sincere.

But at this moment, the smile was full, but for some reason, it made him feel as if there was a layer of veil behind him, and he couldn't see it clearly.

When Shen Lingxi was stared at by him like this, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and asked with a twinkle in her eyes: "Why is Your Highness looking at me like this?"

"Nothing." Chu Yanfu lowered his eyes again, paused, tapped his fingers on the table, and calmly invited, "If you have nothing to do on the way, can you help me with some official documents?"

Shen Lingxi was a little surprised when she heard the words, "Is it the official document of the embroiderer? I'm afraid I can't understand it."

Having said that, there was a bit of curiosity in her black and white apricot eyes.

Maybe it's because she was trapped in the medicine palace for too long in her previous life. After her rebirth, Shen Lingxi is full of curiosity about the affairs of this world.

She learned corpse embalming and paper-making from Ah Weng, went to Jinxianguan to learn Taoism, learned how to read, lock locks, and embroidery from dead souls... as long as others are willing to teach, she is interested.

Therefore, when Chu Yan invited her to "handle official documents", her subconscious reaction was: What is this new thing, can I learn it?

Chu Yan saw that her expression was real and lively again, and there was a bit of a smile in her cold phoenix eyes.

He casually took out a few files from the official documents at the side and pushed them in front of her.

"These are all cases that have been tried by Chunjun and Shengxie. You only need to go over the evidence and confession involved in the file again. If there are any inaccuracies, mark them clearly with a red pen and send them back for a retrial. .”

As he spoke, he handed her the file that he had just approved in his hand, "Refer to this comment."

Shen Lingxi took the file, opened it, and frowned.

It's hard to say anything else, she is very familiar with things like reading the case, and she will read the "Law of the Great Zhou" when she has nothing to do, and she can even understand the part about sentencing that Chu Yanzhu commented on.

"I'll try." Shen Lingxi said with great interest.

Seeing this, Chu Yan curled his lips and handed her the pen in his hand, then took another file and read it.

The two of them just faced each other, reviewing the latest dossier of the embroidery envoy.

When Shen Lingxi couldn't understand, she would ask Chu Yan for advice from time to time.

One is willing to learn, and the other is willing to teach. The long journey is fun.

So much so that at dusk, when the carriage stopped slowly and Sheng Xie lifted the curtain to report, he saw Shen Lingxi holding the dossier of the embroiderer in his hand.

He was always calm and serious, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

Who can tell him, how could His Royal Highness, who has always been stern and selfless, let his future princess review official documents?

If you approve the official document today, you will have to give her a memorial to approve it in the future...

But in the blink of an eye, Sheng Xie has already made up several dramas about "the demon concubine harming the country" and "foreign relatives monopolizing power".

It's just... quite exciting.

Shen Lingxi didn't know that her act of reviewing official documents had already won the outrageous title of "Demon Concubine" in Sheng Xie's eyes.

Her eyes only fell on the city gate not far away.

Qixia County.

This is the county seat under the rule of Donghuafu.

It is also the home of Chu Yan's family, the Xie family of the Zanying family, and the clan.

"Your Highness, we have found out that Xie Zhangting's tomb is located in Xishan, ten miles east of the city. Should we enter the city or..."

"Enter the city." Chu Yan ordered, "Go to the door and tell your family to thank you. Gu's grave will be opened for an autopsy tomorrow."

Sheng Xie bowed his hands to accept the order, and then put down the curtain, the carriage moved again, and drove slowly towards the city.

Shen Lingxi put down the file in her hand, looked up at Chu Yan, "Your Highness suspects that Xie Zhangting's death is related to the death of the former Crown Princess?"

Chu Yan put down the dossier in his hand, and lightly squeezed the space between his brows with his knuckles.

"I have checked the files of the previous dynasty. There was a secret technique called Zhu Youshu in the previous dynasty, which can confuse people's minds, transfer essence and change energy. It was originally a medical way. It does not need acupuncture and medicine stones. It only needs to hypnotize people. Heal intractable diseases for others.”

"I wish you tricks to confuse people's minds. As long as they can make people forget their pain, cure diseases and save people, they can kill people invisible. Presumably the old eunuch should be very good at this way, so that he can come and go freely in the palace."

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly.

What Chu Yan said was almost exactly the same as what she thought after listening to Xie Zhanghua's dictation.

She pondered for a while, then pointedly said: "The royal family of the Great Zhou has always regarded witchcraft and other magic as sorcery. Therefore, after the fall of the previous dynasty, many people who were good at heretics fled to Yunguo one after another."

"Based on the time when the concubine was killed, the old eunuch must be from the country of Yun. Tongwu Pass is the pass to the border of Yunjiang. Xie Zhangting was found there. It can be seen that the person who took her away should also be from the country of Yun. "

"That's right." Chu Yan put down his hand, opened the curtain of the car, and stared out of the window with his phoenix eyes, "The mother and concubine's encounters all started after meeting Xie Zhangting at Tongwuguan. At the sacrificial ceremony, the grandiose assassination with the secret poison of Yunjiang, whether successful or not, means that Yun Chong is behind the scenes and wants me to investigate Yunjiang."

He turned his head to look at Shen Lingxi, his phoenix eyes reflected the street lights outside the car window, and he was focused, "If I'm not wrong, the death of the mother and concubine must be related to Yunguo ten years ago."

Shen Lingxi looked at him calmly.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, when she first heard about it, even she had to guess——
Could Xie Zhanghua's death have anything to do with her scumbag father, Emperor Lie?

She was even more worried for no reason, whether that old eunuch who knew Zhu Youshu might be a killer sent by her scumbag father to Da Zhou.

However, Shen Lingxi remembered that ten years ago, it was the time when Emperor Li was obsessed with collecting yin and nourishing yang, and pursuing the way of longevity.

Emperor Li was fatuous and innocent, sensual and indulging in pleasure all day long, wishing that he and Da Zhou would not provoke each other.

How could he be in such a rush to die, and send someone from thousands of miles to assassinate a princess who is a husband and a teacher in the inner house.

"So, Your Highness plans to open Xie Zhangting's coffin for an autopsy. Firstly, he wants to find clues about her death from the corpse, and secondly, he also wants to shake the mountain..."

She paused, then asked in contemplation, "Your Highness is skeptical, and someone from Da Zhou was involved in what happened back then?"

Chu Yan put down the curtain and nodded silently.

"Even the guard of the East Palace back then, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he couldn't enter the land of no one, and what the concubine mother said, Xie Zhangting's death was different, but I didn't find out. Xie Zhangting's autopsy records It should be that someone quietly pressed the matter."

"If the old eunuch has an internal response in Dazhou and hears that I'm here to open the coffin for an autopsy, he will definitely do something, so that they can show their tails."

Shen Lingxi's eyes revealed a sudden look.

She said softly: "Ten years have passed since the incident, and now Xie Zhangting's body has already turned into dry bones...Leave the bone examination to me."

"That's exactly what I mean." Chu Yan's lips curled slightly, and he said with a light smile, "I'm sorry."

　Zhu Youshu is an ancient spiritual therapy, and it can be regarded as an ancient hypnosis.
