But he couldn't be sure which force this was.
Is it within the country of Eastern Qi, Southern Yan, or Northern Rong?
At this time, the little baby heard what he said and wanted to say that she could do the math.
But then she remembered that Qin Cheng had specifically told her before he left that she should count it at most once a month, otherwise she would be retaliated against for leaking the secret and die early.
She is only three and a half years old and doesn't want to die yet.
Not long after, Zhou Xu walked out of the interrogation room with an agitated look on his face.
"Your Majesty, these five gentlemen have been very cooperative and answered all your questions. I specifically asked about the 'exiled immortal' that Your Majesty and the little princess mentioned earlier. These five gentlemen all said that they came to Wenxiang Tower at the invitation of the exiled immortal."
"Oh?" Emperor Cheng Xuan frowned upon hearing this. "What exactly is going on?"
"In reply to your Majesty, these five families had all encountered strange things in their families before. They sought help from several Taoist priests and monks, all of whom claimed to be famous, but none of them could solve the problem. That is until someone recommended this Taoist priest who claimed to be the 'Exiled Immortal'."
Zhou Xu narrated the story, "This exiled Taoist priest is really quite capable and quickly solved the strange problems at home for them.
"He also refused to ask for money, saying he was a reincarnated immortal. In his previous life, he was an immortal, but he made a mistake and was banished to the mortal world. His mission was to accumulate merit to help mortals, so he refused to accept any benefits.
"After a few interactions, the five masters became familiar with the exiled Taoist priest.
"Later, whenever they encountered any strange things at home, they would ask the exiled Taoist for help.
"And this time, something strange and thorny happened in their family, so they asked for help from the exiled Taoist priest.
“The exiled Taoist priest told them to go to Wenxiang Tower to meet him.
“Unexpectedly, the exiled Taoist priest didn’t see the incident, but encountered a female ghost in red who was trying to kill everyone in the Wenxiang Tower.
"Then, while they were being interrogated, they were suddenly cursed and fell asleep."
Little Shuangbao listened, blinking his bright eyes.
She suddenly asked in a childish voice, "Master Zhou, did they tell me what this exiled immortal looks like?"
Why did she feel that this statement was so familiar?
It seemed like she had met one before.
"Yes, yes."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu immediately unfolded a painting in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Little Princess, please look. This is a painting of a banished Taoist priest, personally created by an expert in figure painting."
Little Shuangbao jumped out of Emperor Chengxuan's arms and looked over with his little head.
On the snow-white drawing paper, a handsome man wearing a black robe, holding a black whisk in his hand, and with a red mole between his eyebrows, appeared vividly on the paper.
There seemed to be a coldness in the corners of his lips and eyes.
When looking into these eyes, one gets chilled all over.
Little Shuangbao only took one look and his face turned pale instantly.
She quickly threw herself into Emperor Cheng Xuan's arms, her little hands nervously clutching his robe, and timidly said in her baby voice, "Daddy, Shuang Bao knows who he is! Shuang Bao knows him!"
"who is he?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the little baby, who hadn't looked so scared in a long time, and his heart ached. He quickly hugged her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, Shuangbao, Daddy is here! This is just a painting!"
Little Shuangbao's nervousness and fear gradually subsided as Emperor Chengxuan comforted him.
She raised her little head from Emperor Cheng Xuan's arms, and her pale little face looked at the person in the painting again.
"Daddy, he is Taoist Chen! He was the one who told grandma, uncle and aunt that Shuangbao is the unlucky star who will kill daddy and mom!" Shuangbao said sadly in a baby voice, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
"What? It's him?!"
When Emperor Chengxuan heard that the Taoist Chen who disappeared without a trace was actually the exiled Taoist Immortal, his face suddenly darkened!
The former Taoist Chen caused little Shuangbao to be almost abused to death by the Su family!
He wanted to investigate this person afterwards, but Taoist Chen was like a rat in a gutter, and no trace of him could be found at all.
Unexpectedly, this Taoist Chen changed his identity into a "fallen immortal" and extended his hands to the homes of other court officials!
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
Emperor Cheng Xuan didn't even dare to think deeply about it!
He had every reason to suspect that when Taoist Chen, also known as the exiled Taoist, went to the God of War's Mansion to deceive people and described Xiao Shuangbao as a jinx who would kill his parents, it was definitely not a simple matter!
It is very likely that Taoist Chen is deliberately targeting Xiao Shuangbao and wants to kill him!
But what Emperor Chengxuan couldn't understand was, what good would it be for him to kill Xiao Shuangbao?
At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
If Taoist Chen did it on purpose, then could it be that Concubine Su also did it on purpose when she mistook Xiao Shuangbao for someone else and brought a fake into the palace?
Is it possible that she was in cahoots with Taoist Chen and deliberately designed this incident with the purpose of not letting Xiao Shuangbao enter the palace and wanting Xiao Shuangbao to die outside the palace?
But what is their purpose in doing this?
What secrets are hidden in Xiao Shuangbao?
One question after another floated in Emperor Chengxuan's mind.
"Shuangbao, don't be afraid. Last time, Daddy let this Taoist Chen escape. This time, he has become a banished Taoist. Daddy will definitely not let him go again!"
