Chapter 256 Late-night interrogation
An Yunxi lowered her eyes: "It's someone else's thing, so of course I should give it back to him
." She waved her hand.
A young eunuch came in immediately.
This young eunuch was from Eunuch Xu's side. An Yunxi called him over, handed the hairpin to him, and then said a few words.
The young eunuch immediately bowed and saluted, and left with the hairpin.
There was a gleam in Ling Fengxun's eyes: "Xi'er, these little eunuchs seem to have been following around since they entered the palace. I didn't pay much attention to them before."
An Yunxi nodded: "After Eunuch Xu was valued by the prince, he sincerely returned the favor and sent someone to tell me that I could give him anything I wanted."
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly: "He is smart and knows who the master is."
An Yunxi smiled and said, "Isn't his master you, the prince?"
Ling Feng realized the meaning of her words, raised his chin slightly, and said in a magnetic and steady voice: "Everyone knows that I am a henpecked man."
An Yunxi: "
An Yunhe left a lot of things for her a few days before he left.
Not to mention all kinds of extremely powerful medicines, she was given a whole box of ready-made ones, and there were prescriptions inside. If she ran out of them, she could make them herself.
Every prescription was a priceless treasure.
An Yunhe also told her that Eunuch Xu in the palace was a trustworthy person and could do anything for her in the future.
Since her third brother believed it, she would of course believe it too.
However, she couldn't tell Ling Fengxun directly about this matter. She could only mention that she had recruited it herself and did not drag An Yunhe into it.
She stayed in the palace until very late.
After eating dumplings and listening to the sound of firecrackers, An Yunxi felt a little sleepy. She was yawning and was carried back to the bedroom by Ling Fengxun.
Seeing her sleeping, Ling Fengxun couldn't fall asleep. He lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows, then strode out of the room.
If someone dares to plot against Xier, don't blame him.
He turned and went to another side hall.
After a while, someone came over with a man.
The old Taoist priest's robe was already wrinkled, and his whisk was twisted into a knot. He knelt in front of Ling Fengxun in a wolfish state.
He was trembling all over, staring at the ground in disbelief, and begging for mercy without raising his head.
"Please spare my life, sir, spare my life. I entered the palace under the order of Concubine Mei. Please show mercy!"
Ling Fengxun just sat on the chair above, and before he asked anything, the other party confessed who was behind it.
There was no way not to confess.
Ling Fengxun had eight hundred ways to make him confess.
"Are you from Nanqi?"
The old Taoist priest's throat rolled nervously and swallowed his saliva: "No, no, I am a Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple in Nanyun City, and I am from Beiling Country."
Although Nanyun City is a border town, it is indeed from Beiling Country.
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, without any expression on his face, only a strong cold aura came down, making the old Taoist priest tremble slightly.
"What are you doing in the palace?"
"Empress Mei said that she was possessed by evil spirits, so she invited people to the palace to perform a ritual for her. They invited the Po Dao, who came to help the Empress exorcise the evil spirits. The Empress was afraid that the Emperor would know that she believed in these things, and would punish her, so he let the Po Dao secretly leave the palace."
The old Taoist priest made his actions sound reasonable and people could not find any fault with them.
If Ling Fengxun had not known that this person had impure intentions and evil intentions, he would have really believed his lies.
"What is the use of that hairpin?"
The old Taoist priest was confused.
"Hairpin? What hairpin?"
He began to play dumb.
Ling Fengxun curled the corners of his lips and said without a word: "Come here, take him..."
"The poor Taoist said that the hairpin was dug out from a cemetery and is tainted with a strong Yin energy. If you keep it with you, it will make you sick." When
Ling Fengxun heard this, the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense.
If he and An Yunxi had not been careful, maybe that woman would have succeeded. Who would have thought that a hairpin could have such an effect.
Ling Fengxun used to not believe in these messy people in the Xuanmen.
If he hadn't known that Xier was a reborn person, he probably wouldn't have been on guard against these Taoists who had been regarded as liars.
But now, he believes that there are really people in this world who hold the secrets of heaven.
Otherwise, where did Xier's memory of her previous life, which could predict the future, come from?
And why did she say she was reborn?
Countless thoughts flashed through Ling Fengxun's mind.
His fingers clenched into fists.
He thought he had already mastered the imperial power of Beiling Kingdom and was above thousands of people, so he could protect her, but he didn't expect that there was such a creepy way to hurt her.
Ling Fengxun tapped his fingers on the armrest.
An extremely crazy idea came to his mind.
As a superior, if he can't control this uncontrollable power, should he just completely erase it?
When thinking about this, his eyes fell on the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist
priest clearly felt the breath-taking murderous aura coming at him!
He panicked, really panicked! Even if he didn't know who the person in front of him was, there were only a few people who could easily get past the people arranged by Concubine Mei and catch him in the palace, and who could control his life and death at will. And the age of the person's voice was probably "Prince! I am willing to work for you in the future. If you let me go east, I will never go west. You can use me as you like!" "Oh?" The tone rose. Ling Fengyan slightly supported his chin with his hand and looked at him with cold eyes.
The old Taoist priest was lying on the ground, not caring about anything else in order to survive: "I am from Qingfeng Temple, and the abbot is my senior brother. I have been practicing Taoism for many years, but now the Taoist sect is at its end, and many techniques have been lost. Even if there are some left, they are almost useless. In fact, people like me are no different from ordinary people, and can't affect the life and death of too many people."
Many years ago, the emperor
of Southern Qi killed many Taoists. The Taoist temples in Southern Qi were almost empty.
The only ones left were some small Taoist temples hidden in the valleys, which were not competitive with the world and had no inheritance.
Taoism declined, and Buddhist temples rose. Even some female members of the royal family liked to study Buddhist scriptures, and some temples were even called national temples.
Every year, the royal family would send a lot of money for the construction of temples, the promotion of Buddhism, and the guidance of people to be good.
Ling Fengxun pondered for a while.
Then he confirmed it again.
"You said that you are the junior brother of the Qingfeng Temple Master? Then where is your senior brother?"
The old Taoist priest answered without hesitation: "My senior brother is in the temple."
Ling Fengxun nodded slightly.
Then he ordered: "Kill him, and then go to Qingfeng Temple to invite the temple master."
The old Taoist priest: ""
