I Have a Luck Altar

This is definitely a subconscious behavior. After Chen Yuan entered the palace, his mind was always tense, and he didn't dare to be careless at all. Under this situation, naturally, he would not remain indifferent.

Chen Yuan and Jingtai met each other and looked at each other, the atmosphere stagnated for a moment.

And this moment also made Chen Yuan's heart sink, and he always felt a little inexplicably familiar.

Test him?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan calmly said:

What other orders does Your Majesty have?

Jingtai stared at Chen Yuan, suddenly smiled, pointed to the things on the table and said:

I forgot to take the seven-star map I gave you.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your suggestion. Chen Yuan showed a slight smile on his face, stepped forward and rolled up the seven-star map slowly, and clapped his hands again: I will leave.

Well, let's go.

Turning around, Chen Yuan quickly left the imperial study room, and only after leaving the palace at a very fast speed did he heave a long sigh of relief, just now he almost really thought that Jingtai was about to throw a cup.

However, if it is just to deal with him, it seems that there is no such need. A Cao Zhengxian can easily take him down, and it is just a whim.

And this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Looking back at the palace, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed a coldness, and he turned and left the place.

The words were divided into two parts, and the time went back to the time when Chen Yuan had just left the imperial study.

Cao Zhengxian waved his hand lightly, and the fragments of the teacup that fell on the ground turned into nothingness in an instant, and disappeared in front of the two of them. Jingtai squinted his eyes:

It seems that there is no such thing as what you said.

Cao Zhengxian smiled when he heard this:

It may be that the old minister was wrong before. It's just that there is nothing wrong with being careful. Chen Yuan's ambition is indeed not small. The old minister has been tasting the poem written before breaking through the barrier for the past few days. I always feel that In addition to literary talents, there may be some.

Cao Zhengxian didn't finish his sentence, but Jingtai glanced at him and said lightly:

It's just a few lines of poetry, Cao Qing won't really judge Chen Yuan's disloyalty to me based on this?

This is totally a crime of wanting to add.

The poem written by Chen Yuan clearly meant the spirit of the world, it just depends on how you understand it, at least Jingtai didn't care about these trivial things.

No no no old minister just

I know that Yang Yuanqing suffered some injuries from Chen Yuan, but this is a fair fight, so don't bear grudges. Jingtai said very calmly.

Your Majesty misunderstood, how could the old minister care about a junior.

Cao Zhengxian quickly argued.

He really felt that Chen Yuan's son was not so easy to control, and he had great ambitions.

Jingtai stared at him for a moment, and also smiled freely:

I still know Cao Qing's temperament, it's just a joke, don't take it to heart.

Your Majesty will be considerate of the old minister. Then there was a flash of reminiscence in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

Your Majesty, when Chen Yuan came into the imperial study, did you feel a familiar feeling?

what you mean?

Jingtai was taken aback, but didn't understand what Cao Zhengxian was saying.

Perhaps it was the old minister's illusion. The moment Chen Yuan came in, the old minister always felt a little familiar, like your Majesty's aura when you received the stars from the observatory a few days ago.

Jingtai shook his head:

Cao Qing thought too much, the one who intercepted the starlight that day was definitely the real monarch who used the secret method, how could it have anything to do with Chen Yuan?

He is only a mere alchemy realm cultivation base, if he can have such a means to pay back? There is no need to be attached to the imperial court to do things, it should be that the seven-star map I just made you dazed.

He didn't even think about it in that direction.

how is this possible?

Absolutely impossible.

Cao Zhengxian also knew that it was too late, and he was really suspicious of Chen Yuan, but bystanders knew that he did feel a little familiar before.

Thinking about it, Your Majesty has a wonderful brushwork. I am afraid that only Wu Daozi, a famous painter more than 20 years ago, can stand shoulder to shoulder with Your Majesty.

Cao Zhengxian quickly praised it.

Cao Qing deserves to be Cao Qing. This flattering skill is much better than that of Chen Yuan. Jingtai smiled heartily, he did have some experience in painting.

But if it is compared with Wu Daozi, the world-famous painter, it is simply too far behind.

It's a pity that this person's whereabouts have been elusive since more than 20 years ago, and he hasn't shown up for many years. There were even rumors in the world that this person had died in Nanjiang a few years ago.

It makes countless people who love to paint the Tao feel sorry, including Jingtai.

The painter's way of painting is almost unreal, and supplemented by supernatural powers, it is true that the person in the painting can be brought back to life.

What the old minister said is the truth.

Jingtai smiled lightly.

Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the people from the Ministry of Punishment should be allowed to investigate the cause of Concubine Shu's death, why not? Cao Zhengxian asked casually, his eyes flickering.

Hearing this, Jingtai's face changed immediately, from sunny to cloudy, and said lightly:

I've said it before, it's not something glorious, and it shouldn't be known by too many people.

Old minister understands, but Your Majesty really thinks highly of Chen Yuan. Could it be that he intends to cultivate this person to take on important responsibilities? Cao Zhengxian asked with narrowed eyes and a smile.

As long as he can show his value, why don't I reuse him? The power that Xun Tiansi has is still a bit stronger, maybe let Chen Yuan break down Xun Tiansi for me.

Your Majesty is using Chen Yuan as a sword?

Isn't it his honor to be the knife in my hand?

Your Majesty said so.

How many people do not have the qualifications to become one, but now we have to see if Chen Yuan is a qualified candidate. I don't want this knife to come back in the future.

Jingtai's eyes were extremely deep, staring into the distance and said in a deep voice.

Your Majesty said so.

I hope Chen Yuan is a smart person.

After leaving the palace, Chen Yuan went directly to the Department of the Eastern Imperial City, casually threw the 'family treasure' mentioned earlier into the book of heaven, and he didn't care about it anymore.

Now is a good time to search the harem thoroughly to find the place where the dragon vein suppressed that senior Mo Luo.

After counting four or five people in the Imperial City Department, Chen Yuan led them directly to the harem, where not many people are needed, Jingtai has already told him clearly that it is not appropriate to publicize this matter, if he still doesn't know the fun, It's a little out of place.

But not too little.

It is impossible for him to investigate alone, and there are always a few clever subordinates around him to obey orders.

Before entering the harem, Chen Yuan informed the entire mission of this time, and Tao Qingyuan, who was accompanying him, was slightly taken aback. Obviously, he did not expect that what he said was so accurate.

This time Chen Yuan entered the palace to investigate this matter.

Now this stall has fallen on him indirectly, it's really an impermanent world

When Chen Yuan arrived at the harem with Tao Qingyuan and the others, there were already several eunuchs waiting, apparently having already received Jingtai's order.

Waiting for Chen Yuan very respectfully.

Seeing him approaching with people, the leading old eunuch said quickly:

The old slave has seen Chen Qingshi.

I've met your father-in-law, what's your surname? Chen Yuan raised his brows.

The old slave's surname is Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao is waiting for Chen specifically?

Exactly.

Then the old eunuch told the reason.

Holding the imperial warrant given by Jingtai, no one dared to stop Chen Yuan at the outer checkpoints, but even if there was a token in the harem, he could not move around at will.

After all, there are women

It is necessary to be accompanied by eunuchs who are on duty in the palace, lest Chen Yuan offend any nobleman, Chen Yuan really couldn't deny this after thinking about it, and then readily agreed.

Chen Yuan still does not discriminate against these people who 'cut grass and root'.

It doesn't matter if someone follows him, as long as he doesn't disturb his work.

Anyway, he didn't have any intention of disrupting the harem.

The headed old eunuch has also been in the harem for many years, and his cultivation has almost reached the peak level of Tongxuan in his perception. As for the cultivation and status of the few who follow him, they are much lower.

The old eunuch took Chen Yuan to the 'crime scene' yesterday. On the way, Chen Yuan finally got some descriptions of the case from the old eunuch.

To tell the truth, this is really what he just found out.

Before that, he only knew that Concubine Shu in the harem had drowned and died after that.

Nothing, check the fart!

The old eunuch spoke eloquently, not daring to hide anything, and these things had already been compiled into a file. Later, Chen Yuan felt that the old eunuch did not speak in detail enough.

Then I looked at the dossier first.

At this point, Chen Yuan understood some ins and outs.

This concubine Shu is twenty-six this year, and she was brought into the harem by Jingtai a few years ago, but because Jingtai was busy practicing, she was rarely favored.

Later, Concubine Shu often admired the moon in the attic due to her longing. This time she accidentally fell from a high place and drowned on the spot.

This is the general situation given in the dossier.

Even if it is just a simple scan, as long as you are not stupid, you will be able to see the strangeness in it. For example, does this Concubine Shu go to the attic to enjoy the moon once in a while, or every once in a while?

For example, why didn't the concubine Shu concubine accompany her in the palace when she was admiring the moon?

For example, when this concubine Shu fell into the water, why didn't she call out for help? Are the people around her deaf?

To be honest, just by looking at it for the first time, he can be very sure that 99% of the death of Concubine Shu is the result of an assassin, and the people from the Criminal Department should come.

What kind of attention is this Jingtai playing?

Eunuch Zhao, is there anyone you suspect? Chen Yuan put down the file in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

The two maids serving by the concubine Shu's side.

What about the motive?

What motive?

Chen Yuan paused, and then said: Why do they want to kill Concubine Shu?

It hasn't been judged yet.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at him.

Is this treating people as fools?

Even if it is interrogated, isn't it a torture?

Take me to the attic where Concubine Shu fell into the water. After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan whispered.

Commander Chen, come with me.

The old eunuch nodded, and led Chen Yuan all the way through the harem, passing through a large area of ​​palace buildings, before finally arriving at the destination.

Concubine Shu accidentally fell into the water in the attic here. The old eunuch pointed to an attic directly in front of him and said.

Chen Yuan nodded, then stepped out, and climbed into the attic in an instant. The attic here is actually not high, and it is not very eye-catching. It is not a good place to enjoy the moon.

Squinting his eyes, Chen Yuan looked around, and finally fixed on a somewhat broken fence. There was a hole in it, and it seemed that someone subconsciously grabbed it when he fell down in a hurry.

And below, there is a quiet deep pool

Staring at the deep pool, Chen Yuan seemed to see a pair of eyes staring at him inside, and then looked carefully, it was Chen Yuan's reflection, his fingers slowly slid across the nearby pillars, and raised his head to wait and see nearby scenes.

It was not far from the Chunhua Palace that he had been to before, other than that, there was nothing unusual to be found.

Chen Yuan didn't go up the stairs, so he came down the same way, looking at the old eunuch in front of him, he said:

Three things. First, I want to interrogate the two maids who were arrested by you next to Concubine Shu. Second, let these people under Mr. Chen go to search Concubine Shu's bedroom. The third thing I want to see Take a look at Concubine Shu's body.

This old eunuch is somewhat due to:

Concubine Shu's bedroom and body can't be seen casually, it's against the law.

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yuan directly raised his hand to stop him from continuing:

I don't care about this. Your majesty's royal badge is here. If the father-in-law has any questions, you can just ask your majesty. But the request must be satisfied now.

Otherwise, I can't find the trace and can't solve the case. The father-in-law will bear the responsibility for this crime?

Eunuch Zhao's tone froze for a moment, then took a deep breath, stared at Chen Yuan and said:

Okay, this old servant will definitely satisfy Lord Chen's request, as long as he doesn't desecrate Concubine Shu's body.

After finishing speaking, he ordered two eunuchs to pick up the two personal maids who were imprisoned, and ordered two more eunuchs to follow Wang Teng and the two brought by Chen Yuan to check Concubine Shu's bedroom.

But they are not good at this kind of thing. Fortunately, Chen Yuan didn't demand too much, but just let them check to see if there is anything suspicious.

The real clue is probably still on the corpses of the two maids and concubine Shu.

After finishing the order, Chen Yuan didn't stay idle, and was ready to really start to implement his purpose, and check the harem well.

The purpose of his trip was not just to find out the cause of Concubine Shu's death, he always felt that Jingtai just threw this matter to him casually, and didn't have much meaning to delve into it.

Otherwise, you should find a professional criminal department expert to check this thing.

He is a member of the Sky Survey Division, and the Sky Survey Division specializes in murder.

He is also not good at solving cases, he just reasoned from some small details, and his own ability in this area is actually not great.

So instinctively doubted Jingtai's purpose, but he still complied.

As for the purpose, it is also very simple. It is to take this opportunity to search the harem and find the land where the dragon veins suppressed Senior Mo Luo. Among the several places given by Jiang He, only this place has not been explored.

Chen Yuan walked aimlessly in the harem, which made the old eunuch who followed him a little puzzled, isn't he investigating the case? What does it mean to hang out in the harem all the time?

This place is far away from the place where Concubine Shu died.

But Chen Yuan's answer is that it takes time to think about it.

While observing the harem, Chen Yuan also found that today's harem is indeed not as lively as it was the last time he came here. After asking the old eunuch, he found out that before Chen Yuan came, the empress and the imperial concubine had issued a verbal order, and nothing happened in the past two days Avoid walking around in the harem, especially away from Concubine Shu's Hall.

It seems that they don't want to get involved in the case.

This time, with the convenience of his status, Chen Yuan can move around the harem unscrupulously, and the speed is also very fast. It doesn't seem like he is thinking about something at all, but there is no way to do it.

The harem is too big, if the speed is too slow, it will not be able to finish in a day.

He passed by the empress' bedroom, the imperial concubine's bedroom of the eldest prince's birth mother, and the palaces of some princesses who still lived in the palace without leaving the court.

There was something wrong with the old eunuch looking at him.

I feel that Chen Yuan's purpose is not so simple.

What is this place?

Suddenly, Chen Yuan paused, stopped in place, pointed to the front and asked.

The old eunuch thought for a while and said:

This is the cold palace.

Lenggong?

Chen Yuan raised his brows. He never thought that the land where the dragon's veins were suppressed by Senior Mo Luo was actually in this cold palace. It was really unexpected!

Yes, Chen Yuan has found the place of suppression of that senior Mo Luo.

Just now, the heavenly book and strange treasure in his sleeve finally reacted.

This is the method given to him by several Taoist masters before. As long as he keeps opening the heavenly book, he can perceive the changes of another piece of heavenly book fragments within a certain range.

Naturally, it can also be used to judge whether another Taoist master is nearby

Before Chen Yuan walked through the places that Jiang He had deduced, but there was no movement in Tianshu once, this time...finally.

not easy

The name Lenggong is very cold, and this place is also the place where some concubines who made mistakes were put under house arrest. Chen Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.

The old eunuch on the side said casually:

Why, Commander Chen doesn't know about Leng Gong?

I know, I've heard of it.

Here it is.

Okay, let's go and see the body of Concubine Shu.

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan still didn't enter the Leng Palace in the end. Entering the Leng Palace with his identity is really a bit of a violation, and it has nothing to do with the case of Concubine Shu. If someone stabbed him in front of Jingtai.

I'm afraid it might be easy to guess some of Chen Yuan's goals.

Anyway, the place has been found, and there is no rush, and now is not the best time to meet that senior Mo Luo, Chen Yuan can infer some information from the mouths of several other Taoist masters.

That senior Mo Luo might have an enmity with the Dajin royal family, otherwise he wouldn't be suppressed in the dragon's veins, and as the emperor, how could he not know the existence of this senior Mo Luo?

Again, be careful in everything.

When Chen Yuan came to Concubine Shu's Hall, Wang Teng and others had already searched. Chen Yuan glanced around at the two of them, and asked casually, Did you find anything unusual?

Wang Teng walked to Chen Yuan thoughtfully and said in a low voice:

I only found a white jade lotus root, which is a bit unusual.
