Chapter 274: The adult world is so hard to understand
"Have you seen it?" Yu Lingye asked.
"I haven't seen it, I just think green hidden weapons are very rare." Shen Tingsi returned to his cold and indifferent look, "No one recorded in the Six Punishments Department has used a green hidden weapon."
Xie Yingmian pointed at the tiny writing on the hidden weapon and said, "It says 'Jueming' on it. Does this hidden weapon come from Jueming Palace?"
Shen Tingsi: “It’s hard to say.”
"The Six Punishments Department and the Death Palace have fought many times, and their hidden weapons are not uniform."
"The Jueming Palace organization may appear to be an organization on the surface, but in reality, even Diao Yu, the former Jueming Palace leader, cannot tame its members."
"They say it's an organization, but it's more like a group of notorious murderers gathered together. Their martial arts, killing methods, and behavior are all very perverse and brutal."
"Similarly, the hidden weapons they used were all unique, and they didn't have the habit of specifically inscribing the word 'jueming' on them."
Xie Yingmian: "So, the hidden weapon doesn't necessarily belong to Jueming Palace?"
Chen Tingsi thought for a while and said, "Ever since the disappearance of Jueming Palace's Palace Master Diao Yu, no one from Jueming Palace has appeared in the martial arts world for a long time. There are rumors that Jueming Palace has a new Palace Master."
"The new Palace Master's style of doing things is different from Diao Yu's. This hidden weapon might have been made by the new Palace Master."
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye looked at each other.
Could the new Palace Master of Jueming Palace be related to the Grand Princess?
No one knows the answer.
Shen Tingsi didn't say much.
He took Xiaokui, who had run outside to count ants, back to the Liuxingsi.
On the way back.
Xiao Kui sat in the carriage, sighing like an old man: "Sir, why don't you tell them the truth?"
"You've clearly seen that hidden weapon."
Listen carefully and close your eyes to rest.
"Sir, are you really not going to tell the princess and the others?"
"Sir, if you are embarrassed to speak, shall I speak?"
"grown ups……"
Shen Tingsi suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you free?"
Xiao Kui: "I'm not idle. I'm just wondering, you've clearly seen that green hidden weapon before, and you know the clues about it, so why didn't you tell the princess and the others?"
Shen Tingsi said: "It's not the right time."
Xiao Kui pouted. "Your world of adults is so hard to understand. Aren't you and His Royal Highness Prince Ling friends? Aren't friends supposed to be honest with each other? If you're supposed to be honest, why are you hiding something?"
Shen Tingsi closed his eyes again and stopped talking.
Xiaokui sighed.
All right, adults have their own reasons.
He gets wrinkles from worrying too much.
"Oh, sir, March is almost here, and this year's Spring Festival travel is about to begin." Xiao Kui thought of the Spring Festival travel and immediately threw away her previous entanglement. "I'm so looking forward to it."
Shen Tingsi felt as if his heart was stabbed, and it hurt slightly.
Time flies, it’s the Spring Festival again.
"Turn around and go to the Western Suburbs Cemetery."
Xiao Kui was just imagining what to do during the Spring Festival holiday when she suddenly heard her parents say they were going to a cemetery. Her eyes widened slightly, "Why go to a cemetery?"
"It's getting dark."
"The Western Suburbs Cemetery is spooky and reportedly haunted. It's terrifying. Isn't it a bad time for us to go there?"
Shen Tingsi was too lazy to pay attention to the noisy Xiaokui.
Xiao Kui was ignored and curled up in the corner silently without saying a word.
Western Suburbs Cemetery.
Shen Tingsi found a very inconspicuous small stone tablet among the tombstones.
He asked Xiaokui to put the newly bought wine and meat under the stone tablet.
He didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.
It was already night.
The night wind howled, like the roar of evil spirits in the empty cemetery.
The nights in the second month of the lunar calendar are still freezing cold.
When the night wind blew, the cold air penetrated through the clothes and went straight into the body.
Xiao Kui hugged her shoulders and shivered: "My Lord, it's so cold. How long do we have to stay here..."
Shen Tingsi looked at the sky.
There is not only wind tonight, but also moon.
The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the white ground.
"Let's go," he said.
Xiao Kui immediately helped Shen Tingsi into the carriage.
As the carriage moved away from the cemetery, the wind became even stronger.
The wind blew away the mottled fragments on the stone tablet.
In the pale moonlight, one can vaguely see the words engraved on the small stone tablet: Tomb of Lu Jiuyuan.
…
Zang Song investigated the news very quickly.
Early the next morning, Zang Song brought the news.
"Your Highness, the results of the investigation are in." Zang Song said, "The eunuch who left Shangjing was Liu Ban from the Eastern Palace."
"Liu Ban led the Eastern Palace Green Guards and quietly left the Eastern Palace last autumn."
"According to reliable information, the place Liu Ban traveled to was Feiyang County."
Yu Lingye looked solemn.
He wrote down the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Grand Princess on the paper.
These four people all have a connection with the Stone of Immortality.
Xie Yingmian looked at the four people on the paper and narrowed her eyes. "The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Grand Princess, these four are doing similar things, and they're not being very discreet. I don't believe there's no one guiding them."
Yu Lingye nodded: "Someone must have deliberately leaked the information about the Immortality Stone to them."
Xie Yingmian: "That guy is quite clever. He let these four heavyweights charge into battle while he remained perfectly invisible. This alone proves that he should not be underestimated."
She thought of the battle between the princes for the throne.
In the historical battles for succession, the more inconspicuous one is more likely to become the final winner.
"How much do you know about the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye: "When the Fourth Prince was young, he had a high fever that wouldn't go away. He became somewhat mentally retarded. His mother was just a palace maid, with a very weak presence."
Xie Yingmian: "Are you sure he's really stupid and not just pretending?"
Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger is very common in the royal family.
Yu Lingye said: "On the surface, he is really stupid. As for whether he is pretending, I don't know."
"One year during the Spring Festival, the Fifth Prince broke both of his legs and became unable to walk. After the injury, he stayed in his mansion all day and rarely went out."
"As for the Sixth Prince, he is still young. He is the same age as the Seventh Prince and has just turned eleven this year."
Xie Yingmian screened them.
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are both suspects.
but.
During the Dingyun Rebellion ten years ago, both the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were just children.
Therefore, the real person behind the scenes is someone else.
Xie Yingmian's mind was in a mess.
Yu Lingye said, "It's useless to overthink."
"Perhaps, someone will come to the door soon."
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows: "Hmm?"
Yu Lingye: "Every March, the Dayu Dynasty holds a large-scale festival called the Spring Festival Parade. We both need to participate in the parade."
"The news that you treated the Grand Princess and reattached Shen Tingsi's arm has already spread."
"The news that you are the descendant of the Gu Saint has also spread. The Dingyun Rebellion is closely related to the Gu Saint, and you are the descendant of the Gu Saint."
"If you do this, you become a real target."
"I think a lot of people will come to see you during the Spring Festival."
