From clam spirit to mirage dragon fairy

Chapter 89

While Guyang was thinking hard about how to deal with it, Xiao Yaxuan was looking for clues in the furious Manchu Palace.

The bloody clothes of the little prince Su Mingzhao were completely torn, but something could still be seen.

Xiao Yaxuan uses the method of observing Qi to identify its shape.

However, this blood-clothed garment had obviously been manipulated by practitioners, and there was no trace of abnormality in it except for the blood energy left by the little prince.

Based on the fracture of the blood coat, it can only be seen that it is a large beast with sharp teeth.

This is strange. It is not that there are no large beasts in the palace.

Over the years, all foreign countries have had the habit of paying tribute to rare birds and exotic animals. Therefore, when the palace was first built, a "zoological park" was set up in the palace. To put it bluntly, it was a royal zoo.

It's just that the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden is located on the westernmost side of the Imperial City, and basically most of it is on the boundary of the Western Mountains.

There is a high wall in the middle, not to mention the guards guarding it day and night. They are afraid that the wild beasts in the garden will escape and hurt the nobles in the palace.

If it was said that a beast from the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden ran into the harem and injured the little prince Xiao Yaxuan, he would not believe it first.

However, Elva Hsiao still went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Park to check.

Sure enough, there were a lot of beasts in the garden, so Xiao Yaxuan initially concluded that someone deliberately brought the beasts into the palace.

It's just that the person was hiding so well that Xiao Yaxuan couldn't find any useful clues for a while.

And I don't know when a rumor started to spread in the imperial city, and it also spread outside the palace at a strange speed.

The general idea is that Guyang, as a dragon species, is dedicated to purifying his blood and transforming into a dragon.

Guyang stayed in the palace all year round in order to absorb the dragon energy of the Yin Dynasty.

It's just that they are aliens after all, and their demonic nature is difficult to train.

Not satisfied with absorbing the Great Yin Dragon Qi, he actually swallowed His Majesty's youngest son.

There is no one with the strongest dragon aura in this world than the emperor, followed by the princes who are direct descendants of the emperor.

Today, the monster Guyang couldn't help but swallow a prince. If it is not removed in time, I am afraid that all the remaining princes and princesses in the palace will not escape their bad luck.

Rumors spread very quickly and are said to have noses and eyes.

As the emperor of a country, Su Ziji naturally knew that this was an intentional person secretly inciting people to alienate his relationship with Guyang.

Guyang is a very rare auspicious beast with the gift of combing the earth's veins to regulate wind and rain. It is precisely because Guyang has been kept in captivity in the palace these years that he is connected with the national destiny. The Great Yin can have good weather and good harvests, because there is a road in the palace. The secret magic circle can connect Guyang with the national destiny and maximize Guyang's talent.

If Guyang builds a palace, it will inevitably weaken Guyang's connection with the national destiny. By then, Guyang's innate magical power may only be able to protect a land of hundreds of miles and cannot benefit the whole country.

Su Ziji knew about this, Xiao Yaxuan knew about it, Yang Xiao also knew about it, but Gu Yang himself didn't know about it.

That formation was deduced by the joint efforts of Elva Hsiao and Yang Xiao. No one in the world knows this secret except the three of them.

Therefore, if there was no particularly serious incident, Su Ziji would never drive Guyang out of the palace or deal with Guyang.

But Su Ziji knew that others didn't.

The rumors were so evil that they frightened the concubines in the palace. They all came to Su Ziji to cry and demand that Guyang be kicked out of the palace. Even the dignitaries in the court also petitioned for a holy judgment.

Su Ziji was so troubled but couldn't express it clearly, so he had to hide in the imperial study room alone for some peace and quiet.

"Your Majesty, Poppy asks to see you."

Suddenly the attendant came over to report.

"poppy?"

Su Ziji was startled.

This poppy was a concubine who entered the palace just this year. She was a beauty Su Ziji met by chance when he was out of the palace for a private visit.

She looked so beautiful that she would be as beautiful as a country, but the key was that she was gentle, virtuous, considerate, and especially liked by Su Ziji.

However, this poppy had only been in the palace for a short time and had no children, so Su Ziji didn't understand why she came to join in the fun.

But after all, they were still in love, so Su Ziji didn't want to refute the beauty's reputation, so he immediately asked someone to announce it.

"His Majesty--"

Soon, a gentle beauty with skin as smooth as gelatin and a red dress walked up. Not only did this beauty have a complexion like jade, but she also had soft bones and a charming look. Her eyes seemed to be rippling with spring water, and her soft and slow call made people feel numb. Average.

"Beautiful lady, why are you here in the imperial study today?"

Although Su Ziji was very unhappy about the harem concubine entering a place of political importance such as the royal study, he couldn't get angry when facing this poppy, so he could only ask gently.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty was depressed and had no intention of eating, so I thought of sending him a bowl of nourishing medicinal soup so that your majesty would not hurt the dragon's body."

The poppy asked the maid to open the food box and bring out a bowl of red medicinal soup.

This medicinal soup is contained in a jade bowl. It is as red as blood and exudes a strange aroma, which makes people's appetite whet their appetite.

"The beauty has a heart——"

Su Ziji felt a little better when he heard that it was not to expel Guyang.

"Concubine, please serve your Majesty."

Poppy carried the jade bowl and walked up to Su Ziji and fed the soup to Su Ziji's mouth with a spoon.

"Well, beauty, this soup is so delicious. What is it made of?"

Su Ziji took a sip of the decoction and felt the aroma in his mouth. A surge of energy surged through his lower abdomen and throughout his body, as if his muscles and bones were getting stronger.

As the emperor Su Ziji, what precious decoction has he not taken?That's how you can tell what is a tiger and wolf medicine and what is a warming and tonic medicine.

"Your Majesty is really good at deceiving me. I just added a little oolong grass to the ginseng and antler chicken soup. It's not as delicious as your Majesty said."

Poppy smiled coquettishly and said.

"Oolong grass? What is this?"

After all, Su Ziji is not a doctor, and he cannot recognize all the medicinal materials in the world.

"Your Majesty has forgotten that there was a demon dragon causing trouble in the past few years. Fortunately, God blessed me, Da Yin Youguo Shi and other immortals subdued the demon dragon.

The demonic dragon's blood spilled onto the ground and fell into the water. Some water plants absorbed the dragon's blood and turned into this oolong grass.

I heard those experts say that this herb can strengthen muscles and bones and replenish vitality. It is a rare spiritual herb.

Your Majesty knew that my concubine's father and brother were merchants. When he heard about this, he spent a lot of money to buy this thing.

Recently, I happened to find a few plants and sent them to the palace overnight to present to His Majesty so that His Majesty could nourish his body. "

While feeding the poppy, she explained the origin of the oolong grass.

"Well, they are interested. One day you can go to my private treasury to find some rare treasures and give them to them. This can be regarded as my reward to them."

Su Ziji was very pleased with this, thinking that if this Oolong grass was really so magical, he would have to look for more of it in the future.

While Su Ziji was chatting with Poppy, the waiter ran in again, but it was Xiao Yaxuan who was outside asking for a meeting.

"Xuan-"

Su Ziji did not shy away from Xiao Yaxuan, but pushed the poppy away without leaving a trace and adjusted his position.

"See Your Majesty—"

Xiao Yaxuan stepped into the imperial study room to see the gift first, and when he looked up, he saw the poppy standing next to Su Ziji.

The imperial study was the place where the emperor handled government affairs, and concubines in the harem were not allowed to enter.

So after seeing the poppy, Xiao Yaxuan frowned, but he also knew that Su Ziji had already developed a slight suspicion towards him in his heart. It was not easy to widen the gap between the monarch and his ministers over such a trivial matter at this time, so he endured it without speaking. .

"Your Majesty, you and Mr. Xiao have to deal with state affairs, so I will not disturb your Majesty."

Elva Hsiao didn't speak, but this poppy was sensible and actually opened her mouth to leave first. "Well, the beauty will go back to the palace to freshen up first, and I will be there soon."

Su Ziji was even more satisfied with Poppy's move of knowing how to advance and retreat. He quietly comforted her on the spot and said that he would stay in Poppy's palace tonight.

A blush appeared on Poppy's face and she nodded shyly before leaving the imperial study room.

Xiao Yaxuan quietly looked at Poppy's back, and the solemn look between her eyebrows became deeper.

Although he had not seen this poppy a few times, every time he saw her, he felt that there was an indescribable and strange aura about this poppy.

However, using the method of observing Qi to detect Xiao Yaxuan, no abnormality could be found at all.

Xiao Yaxuan also asked Yang Xiao to investigate secretly, and the results obtained were very similar, and they were all "just a mortal" conclusion.

But the feeling in my heart told me that this poppy was not as simple as it seemed.

There is no reason for this feeling, but Elva Hsiao is convinced that he is not wrong, so he has always been somewhat wary of this poppy Elva Hsiao.

"Xiao Qing, what clues were found?"

After the poppy's figure disappeared outside the door, Su Ziji regained his majesty and dignity on his face.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have searched inside and outside the palace and found no clues.

However, Wei Chen firmly believes that there must be a young person hidden in this palace.

Brother Gu once reminded Wei Chen that this matter involves cultivators.

Wei Chen checked the little prince's relics and determined that a cultivator had wiped out the remaining aura and cut off important clues.

However, after careful consideration, Wei Chen came to the conclusion that the target of the man in the dark was Brother Gu and Wei Chen.

Following this idea, Weichen did some research. After all, Weichen and Brother Gu didn't have many enemies in common.

Sure enough, after Wei Chen's investigation, he found a clue that was not a clue. "

Xiao Yaxuan opened his mouth to report.

"Oh? What's the clue?"

Su Ziji asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Master Ziling?"

Elva Hsiao asked rhetorically.

"Master Zi Ling? Hasn't that person been kept in the heavenly prison by me?"

Su Ziji recalled it and quickly thought of who Master Ziling was.

Isn't this the imperial master of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

It was he who proposed a bet with Da Yin to pray for rain, which attracted Ying Xiaoer, Lord of Luoshui, and caused many tragedies.

At that time, Su Ziji promptly ordered the Imperial Army to capture Master Ziling.

Later, everyone in Da Yin was busy cleaning up the mess Ying Xiaoer had caused, so they didn't pay too much attention to the culprit.

And Da Zhou had no face to propose rescuing Master Zi Ling, and instead sent Princess Qionghua to Da Yin for marriage the next year.

Now Princess Qionghua is the "Shu Fei" of Da Yin.

Since then, Master Ziling has been suppressed in the heavenly prison, but I heard that the situation of this master is not good.

Soon after he was caught, he began to suffer from serious diseases, his beard and hair fell off and his body was covered with sores. Within a few days, a high-level cultivator who was originally an immortal became a cripple worse than a beggar. However, he still couldn't die and could only do this every day. How can the word "miserable" be used to linger in a dark prison?

Su Ziji didn't understand why Xiao Yaxuan suddenly mentioned this useless person?
"Your Majesty, Master Ziling died suddenly a year ago."

Xiao Yaxuan reported truthfully.

"Dead? It's easier for the thief. But since he's dead, why bother with him?"

Su Ziji was even more confused.

"Your Majesty, Master Ziling is a great monk of the Four Realms after all.

Even if he suffered retribution due to his karma, Wei Chen did not believe that he would die silently in the prison.

So Wei Chen went to open Master Zi Ling's tomb for inspection. "

Elva Hsiao said lightly.

"Could it be that this traitor faked his death to escape?"

Su Ziji Longmu was startled.

"That's not true. There are indeed Master Ziling's bones in the tomb.

It's just that his soul is missing.

Wei Chen summoned the soul using a secret method, and it has been confirmed that the soul of Master Ziling has neither entered the underworld nor reincarnated, nor has it returned to the mountain gate of the Lingxiao Sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He may be hiding in our great Yin capital. "

Elva Hsiao said solemnly.

God knows how surprised Elva Hsiao was after hearing the news.

Master Ziling was unaware of Ying Xiaoer's plan for a moment, and all the karma of tens of thousands of creatures fell on his head.

With such a karma lingering around him, even if Master Ziling dies, he will have to go to the underworld to serve his sentence for at least ten thousand years before he can be reincarnated.

But he actually escaped.

Then we have to guard against it.

Master Ziling would naturally not be without resentment when he ended up in such an end.

The person he hates the most in his heart should be Luoshui Shuijun Ying Xiaoer, but even with his little cultivation, it would be too easy to scrape Ying Xiaoer.

Then besides Ying Xiaoer, the person Ziling Master should hate the most is Guyang.

After all, it was Gu Yang who had the idea in the first place and ruined his plan, so he had to go to Ying Xiaoer in danger to seek cooperation. Otherwise, he would not have ended up like he did today.

And Gu Yang is on good terms with Xiao Yaxuan, so if Master Zi Ling's soul is really hiding and doing things in secret, then it would make sense.

"This is a damned thief who still causes mischief even after death.

Is there any way, Aiqing, to find out this traitor?
I want his soul to be scattered and never to be reincarnated. "

When Su Ziji heard that Master Zi Ling might be causing trouble, old and new grudges came to his mind, and he wished he could eat Master Zi Ling alive and light the sky lantern on the spot.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of Master Zi Ling. As long as we find his traces, I will make sure that he has nowhere to escape.

It’s just that this matter may not be something Master Ziling can do alone.

The important place of the imperial palace is where the fate of the country lies, and it is shrouded day and night by my golden dragon of Yin luck.

Neither gods nor demons can take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Master Ziling's mere introduction of the body of the soul cannot cause any commotion.

There must be someone from the palace involved in helping Master Zi Ling plan this matter.

And since that person was able to assassinate the prince silently, it was obvious that he was no ordinary person.

In view of the fact that Master Zi Ling may have escaped from trouble a year ago, Wei Chen asked for an order to strictly investigate all the people in the new palace during this year. "

That's right, Xiao Yaxuan labeled that poppy as a key suspect in his heart.

It was during this year that Poppy entered the palace, and she was quite favored by Su Ziji. She was fully capable of cooperating with Master Ziling to complete this plan.
