Chapter 464: The Chi Tribe

"Master Li, there is definitely no one in this inner room!" a guard shouted.

"Then are there any signs of someone coming in?" Master Li asked standing at the door.

The guard replied: "From now on, it seems that there is no one. Or maybe that person is experienced and has been here, but he has wiped out all the traces." Master

Li walked into the courtyard and reported the situation to the little emperor one by one.

The little emperor waved his hand, "Forget it, just strengthen the patrol in the future."

After listening to the report, Xia Miaoyuan finally put his heart back into his stomach, [Oh my god, it was dangerous. Fortunately, Yue Haoyun acted quickly. ]

At this time, four or five little eunuchs hurriedly walked into the courtyard of Yangxin Palace.

As soon as the leading eunuch saw the little emperor, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh my God, your majesty, you are here! We have been looking for you for so long!"

"The Queen Mother is waiting anxiously, please go back to the banquet. The palace banquet will be over in half an hour."

The little emperor looked unhappy, but since it had come to this, he couldn't just run away, so he pouted and headed towards the Bihua Palace.

Xia Miaoyuan and Sang Qi followed silently, but along the way, the master and servant were searching for Yue Haoyun.

When they arrived at the palace road outside the Bihua Palace, they saw a tall attendant standing by the road, looking around.

Xia Miaoyuan and his servant saw that it was Yue Haoyun.

"Young prince, the second prince hasn't seen you back for a long time, and he is worried, so he sent me here to wait for you." Yue Haoyun bowed.

"Oh, this princess just followed His Majesty for a walk, and it took a while." Xia Miaoyuan replied lightly, but the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

The palace banquet lasted for nearly half an hour, and the guests left one after another.

The second prince and his entourage also stood up and saluted the little emperor and the empress dowager, preparing to go back.

When the little emperor saw Xia Miaoyuan was about to leave, he hurriedly picked up his robe with one hand and walked over quickly.

"Sister Miaoyuan, I originally wanted to stay with you for a while, but it's a pity today." The little emperor's eyes were full of reluctance, and there was also some apology in his eyes.

Xia Miaoyuan had no feelings for the little emperor at first, but when she saw his expression, she thought of her brothers and her heart softened. She blinked her big eyes and comforted him softly, "It's okay. My brother and I are not leaving Dai Viet tomorrow anyway. We will stay for some time. We can meet again."

The little emperor smiled and said, "I originally asked Chef Yu to make you some snacks, but you didn't have time to eat them. I asked someone to pack them and send them to your carriage."

"Take them back and eat them slowly. See which one you like. I will ask Chef Yu to make it for you."

Xia Miaoyuan felt touched when she heard this. This little emperor didn't look very smart, but he was actually quite thoughtful.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Xia Miaoyuan bowed to the little emperor.

The second prince and Han Qingbo exchanged a few more words with the little emperor before they left the palace.

Returning to the Chang Mansion where they lived, the second prince, Han Qingbo, and Yue Haoyun could not wait to go into the inner room and review today's palace banquet.

Xia Miaoyuan followed in out of curiosity.

As soon as Yue Haoyun entered, he sat in front of the second prince's dressing table and carefully tore off the human skin mask on his face.

The second prince asked impatiently, "How was it, did you gain anything from your night visit to the palace tonight?"

Yue Haoyun had already torn off the human skin mask, rubbed his face, which was stiff with glue, and said, "Yes!"

After that, he got up and found a pen and paper on the desk, wrote a word, and handed it to the second prince and Han Qingbo.

Seeing this, Xia Miaoyuan also joined in the fun.

He saw a word "Chi" written on the paper.

"What does this mean?" The second prince was puzzled.

"I found this word on my father's bed. This word should have been carved on the bed by someone using a hairpin or something like that." Yue Haoyun explained in a low voice.

"Also, based on the position of the characters and the strokes, I speculate that someone must have carved them on the bed with great difficulty, and in order to avoid being seen, they deliberately carved them on the lower side of the bedrail."

"If I hadn't hidden under the bed to avoid the patrolling eunuchs, I would not have found it."

Han Qingbo's eyes turned and said, "Then this character is most likely left by your father when he was seriously ill?"

Yue Haoyun nodded, "Probably."

"I think it must be at the last moment of your father's life. He may have discovered something and wanted to leave a clue, so he carved it on the bedrail."

"This character is carved very sloppily, and the last two strokes were not completed."

Xia Miaoyuan stood on tiptoe and looked at the character "魑". [Strange, why is it a character "魑"? ]

[What does this mean? 】

The second prince stroked his chin, "What does he mean by carving this word?"

Han Qingbo stared at the word in a trance, "Chimei Wangliang, Chi means ghosts. But the late emperor didn't mean this, did he?"

The second prince and Yue Haoyun nodded after hearing this.

Han Qingbo looked at Yue Haoyun and asked, "I've read in "Yiwenlu" before that there is a very strange nation in Dai Viet, called Chibu. Is this true?"

"There is indeed a Chibu." Yue Haoyun replied.

"Could it be that this is what father meant?"

Xia Miaoyuan held up his chin, [Chibu? Why don't I have any impression of it? 】

【Oh, this bastard author is really, he didn't write so much about Dai Viet. 】

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but ask: "Why is this Chi tribe so weird?"

Han Qingbo said: "Then I don't know, it's not written in the "Strange Stories"."

Everyone cast their eyes on Yue Haoyun.

Since the Chi tribe is from Dai Viet, he, as a prince of Dai Viet, should know about it.

Yue Haoyun sighed: "Specifically, I don't know very well. But the customs and culture of this Chi tribe are very weird."

"They believe in evil gods, and they also like witchcraft and Gu magic. By the way, they say that their ancestor was a devil with infinite magic power."

The second prince heard this and curled his lips, "Then this Chi tribe is indeed weird enough."

Yue Haoyun continued, "Later, during the reign of Dai Viet, Taizu wanted to educate them and get rid of their backward and ignorant folk customs."

"But they were very rebellious, so they kept hiding in the mountains. Later, the Chi tribe seemed to have disappeared. No one has seen the Chi tribe for several decades."

"So the rumor is that the Chi tribe has been extinct."

Everyone sighed after hearing this.

They didn't expect that Dai Viet still had such a tribe.

"If the late emperor meant the Chi tribe, then what did he mean?" The second prince murmured.

Everyone was confused for a while.

After a long while, Yue Haoyun said, "It seems that we can only ask someone to investigate this evil tribe first."

"See if we can find some clues, and then make a decision."

At this point, Yue Haoyun glanced at everyone and said, "Did you find anything at the palace banquet today? Tell us and see if it is useful for our plan."

The second prince instantly remembered what his sister had complained about in his heart when Zhu Ling and the little emperor drove to the Bihua Palace at the palace banquet today.

He smiled wickedly and said, "The Queen Mother may have an affair with Mr. Liang!"
