Before Li Nuo approached the palace, Little Stool immediately came out to welcome him, and Daxian said attentively: Master Li is here. Your Highness is in the study. Please come in quickly.

Li Nuo stopped and said in surprise: No need to inform?

Little Stool smiled enthusiastically and said, Sir, you are joking. What else do you need to report when you come to Qingyang Palace?

Li Nuo felt a little emotional.

He was rejected by the King of Qin, but he was treated as an honored guest here in Qingyang.

study.

Seeing Qingyang with his head slightly lowered and concentrating on painting, he did not disturb him and stood quietly aside, admiring Qingyang's painting posture.

A few moments.

Qingyang put down his pen, a ripple appeared in his eyes, and said with a smile: That fourth emperor brother of mine must be very proud now, right?

Li Nuo shook his head and said: Oh, I made a mistake. Not to mention King Qin, do you have any clues about what I asked you to help inquire about yesterday?

Sit down and talk... Qingyang shook his head slightly, Yeting Palace, I can't enter.

Your Highness, are you kidding me?

Li Nuo looked surprised.

The Yeting Palace has been reduced to ruins. Can Her Majesty the Princess still not be able to enter?

Qingyang turned the newly painted scroll on the table and handed it to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo took the scroll, took a good look at it, and asked puzzledly: Why did Your Highness draw a monk? Does His Highness also want to practice Buddhism?

Qingyang pointed to the great monk who was chanting sutras in the painting, and said quietly: There is a great Zen master who is doing a practice to save the souls in front of the Yeting Palace. He is turning away the people sent by me on the grounds that the living are not allowed to enter.

This is...the great Zen master, he looks familiar.

Li Nuo looked at the monk in the painting carefully.

Qingyang nodded and said, You should know that this great Zen master is from Yuzhou.

This is the abbot of Lingyin Temple! But that's not right. Even if you want to save the souls of the dead, you don't have to sacrifice the near and seek the far, right? Aren't there two Zen masters in the Xiangguo Temple outside the city?

Li Nuo frowned in confusion.

I asked... this great Zen master was specially invited by Emperor Father during his tour to the east. He said that he was uneasy, and after he was enshrined, he asked the great Zen master to recite the Great Compassion Mantra and the Great Compassion Sutra. As for Xiangguo Temple, how can my father be happy if it hides filth and evil? Who would have thought... Alas!

Qingyang sighed.

In fact, as a daughter, she also knew a little about Emperor Jingshun's condition. Unexpectedly, my father did not give in to the disease, but was assassinated.

Li Nuo had already realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, Where are the corpses? Are they all buried?

Qingyang replied: They were all burned beyond recognition and could not be identified at all, so they were all buried in pits.

No, it's still wrong! The great Zen master is here to treat His Majesty's head ailments, so how can he go to save the dead?

Li Nuo shook his head.

Qingyang's red lips showed a trace of ridicule: This is the decree issued by the Fourth Emperor Brother in the name of supervising the country.

It's him again!

There was a hint of solemnity in Li Nuo's eyes.

Could it be that King Qin wanted to hide something by doing this?

Did he also know that Emperor Wenzong was not dead?

Even he and Wenzong reached some kind of agreement? So they used the method of saving the undead to cover up the truth about the fire in Yeting Palace?

suddenly.

Li Nuo recalled the treasure hunter's words.

His Highness the King of Qin smells of human elixir!

But because he was eager to know Jiang Jingze's purpose of entering the palace, he put the matter aside. When he went to King Qin's side later, the aura of the human elixir had disappeared.

Li Nuo frowned and thought hard.

Wenzong, King Qin, Rendan, Jingshun died... What is the connection and conspiracy between them?

An idea struck.

The person who knows King Qin best is probably his pillow, right?

Princess Qin!

Maybe this is a breakthrough.

Li Nuo asked: Your Highness, how is your relationship with Princess Qin?

It's not bad. Princess Qin and I are about the same age. Among the four princes' sisters-in-law, she and I are relatively close to each other. By the way, Princess Qin and Jinyang both have a pretty good relationship.

Qingyang replied.

Li Nuo: Then, Your Highness, find a date and reason to invite Princess Qin to Qingyang Palace for a talk?

Qingyang glanced at Li Nuo casually: What do you want to do?

Li Nuo smiled meaningfully and said: Your Highness is unaware of something. There is some misunderstanding between Princess Qin and I, so I would like to find an opportunity to talk things over. I would like to ask Your Highness to be the intermediary.

Of course, Qingyang knew that things would not be that simple. She pursed her red lips and said, Do you have other plans? Well, I can help you ask someone out, but at least you have to wait until the dust settles.

The time Qingyang mentioned was of course when King Qin officially ascended the throne as emperor.

Well, there's no rush.

Li Nuo was too anxious to eat the hot tofu, which even aroused King Qin's vigilance.

Moreover, the Emperor Jingshun has passed away, so there is no need for him to pack up his bags and run away, so he has some things to do, so he will take his time.

Qingyang looked out the window and said with a smile: It's almost dark, why don't you go back home to accompany your beautiful girl?

Li Nuo said awkwardly: Your Highness is joking, I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night tonight.

At this time.

Eunuch Deng ran over anxiously and poked his head outside the study.

Qingyang: Why are you so panicked? Come in and talk.

The little eunuch walked into the study and said bravely: I'm sorry to disturb His Highness and Lord Li's enjoyment... Well, His Majesty's body has been brought back.

Qingyang asked: Where are the civil and military officials and the army?

They all traveled for days and came back together. However, there was almost a quarrel outside the east gate. King Xin's Longxiang Guards, Huben Camp, and King Chu's three thousand personal guards were all blocked outside the city.

There is no problem if King Chu's guards stop him outside the city, but King Xin is the general of Tiance Mansion. Who dares to stop him?

Qingyang asked curiously.

The little stool replied: The King of Qin took the Queen Mother's order and asked King Xin to take off his armor and enter the city, but King Xin did not agree, and the matter was stuck there.

Prime Minister Cui fell off a cliff and his life or death is uncertain, but the cabinet is still there, but what about those bachelors? Didn't they come up with a charter?

The little stool shook his head and said: The cabinet is in a mess now. Some say they want King Qin to succeed to the throne immediately, some say they want His Majesty to be buried in peace first, and the candidates for the throne will be discussed later. Some are pretending to be deaf and dumb. , be wise and protect yourself.”

Well, I understand, you can go down first.

Qingyang waved his hand, then turned his eyes to Li Nuo and asked, Zian, what do you think?

Li Nuo immediately gave up: I am a small-time doctor in the Ministry of Justice, but I can't get involved in such a big thing. I just want to watch the show.

Qingyang rolled his eyes: You underestimate yourself.

Li Nuo shook his head: Let's not talk about this anymore. Has Your Highness ever doubted the cause of death of King Chu and King Jin?

Qingyang said in surprise: Didn't the government find out the truth? They were killed by the rebels. Is there a problem?

What a big problem!

He could be considered the only witness.

As for why the government judged the case so well, it must have been under the instruction of King Qin.

Li Nuo said: Your Highness, don't you think this is too coincidental?

Qingyang narrowed his eyes: You mean my Fourth Emperor brother...

The most ruthless emperor's family. In order to ensure that the position is foolproof, His Highness King Qin is indeed very suspicious.

Li Nuo said meaningfully.
