Chapter 28: Misfortune
Could He Zhiqing be the controller of the actions of "Jin Yu" and other dancers?
A huge amount of information quickly poured into Chu Lingyue's brain, and the strong impact made her extremely excited. She retreated rashly, and a box fell from the bookshelf behind her.
A dossier inside also fell out.
With a thump in her heart, Chu Lingyue quickly made amends.
She thought the box had been broken by herself, but the next moment she realized something was wrong.
There are traces of prying on one side of the box, and if you look closely, you can find a very dark spot on the trace.
In this area less than three inches away, she found holes in the four corners.
"Prying the lock?" she muttered.
Chu Lingyue looked up at the bookshelf and didn't notice the original location of the box. She decided to tell Xu Changguan about it later, but soon her eyes were drawn to the unnamed file.
There is blood that has dried for a long time on the file.
From the time he came in until now, every book Chu Lingyue has turned over has a name on it. This one is not only nameless, but also locked in a box. Could it be that it records some shocking secret?
Before she opened the file, she never expected that what was recorded in it would make her scalp numb and give her the ultimate blow to the heart.
"Miss April! I'm really sorry. The emperor suddenly sent someone to the Tiansi Bureau to investigate something important in the Secret Pavilion and to clear out all the idle people! Let's do this. You can continue the investigation after the emperor's people leave.
how?"
Xu Changguan shouted eagerly at the door. Chu Lingyue knew the importance of the matter, so she responded and quickly put the file back into the box and handed it to the Gu insects, asking them to take it back to its original location.
In order not to trouble Xu Changguan in the future and to avoid being suspected, before leaving, she simply sent out countless blood Gu to extract the contents of the entire Secret Pavilion's books.
Afterwards, under Xu Changguan's arrangement, she left through the back door of Tiansi Bureau.
Just after he had manipulated the Gu insects to do a few small things for him, a hot news spread throughout the capital -
There was a fire in the Secret Pavilion of the Tiansi Bureau. Everything was burned to the ground. Xu Changguan was convicted of poor supervision and has been taken to the prison!
Soon, Chu Lingyue disappeared from the surveillance of the guards again.
Half an hour later, in the old site of the Chu family, which had been overthrown and rebuilt and was still in ruins, Chu Lingyue and her confidants were busy working among stacks of papers.
The memory points held by the blood voodoos who extracted the contents of the Secret Pavilion were spread to the blood voodoo memories in the confidants, and everyone was busy transcribing them.
At dawn, everyone, who had been busy all night without raising their heads, finally backed up and organized all the contents of the Secret Pavilion.
"Pack these things up and send them all to the Tiansi Bureau. Tell them that Director Xu has copied them in advance to prevent accidents."
After giving the instructions, Chu Lingyue stayed where she was and waited patiently. After making sure that the results of the night were safely delivered to the second-in-command of the Tiansi Bureau, she just took off her disguise and quietly returned home.
At noon, news came from the palace that Xu Changguan was not only exempted from punishment, but was also rewarded by the queen for being thoughtful and thoughtful, not to mention a reward of 500 taels of silver, and was promoted to an official rank.
In order to avoid Xu Changguan's suspicion, Chu Lingyue rushed to Xu Changguan before he returned to the Tiansi Bureau.
Xu Changguan, who has experienced huge ups and downs in less than a day, now looks quite haggard.
But when he saw Chu Lingyue, he immediately came back to life.
"Miss April, please take a step to speak!" After making sure that no one was nearby, Xu Changguan lowered his voice and asked: "Did you save me?"
Knowing that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, Chu Lingyue did not follow him in circles, but nodded and acknowledged, taking the initiative to answer questions:
"I have a bit of a photographic memory, so when I was in the Secret Pavilion yesterday, I read all the contents in it. I heard that something big happened at your place in the evening, so I took the time to use my clumsy skills to transcribe it.
.”
The reason for such nonsense is already the most acceptable explanation she can give.
Fortunately, Xu Changguan was surprised for a while and then carried it over.
"Miss April has so many magical powers that she rescued me from this dead situation! I really don't know how to thank you!"
"By allowing me to enter such an important place as the Secret Pavilion, you are risking your life to help. I should thank you."
Under Chu Lingyue's gentle comfort, it took a long time for Xu Changguan to pull out his emotions.
But it didn't take long for him to sigh repeatedly, with nowhere to put his sorrow.
"I'm afraid that what happened to me... I can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but I can't escape the fifteenth grade!"
Chu Lingyue's eyebrows sank, "Why did the director say this?"
Looking at the ruins of Mixin Pavilion, Xu Changguan smiled bitterly:
"I have recorded the disgusting things of too many people here. Some people want to kill me but there is no legitimate reason. They can only frame me in the name of the emperor. The person behind the scenes wants to kill me even if he destroys the entire Secret Pavilion. This time it is
I'm 100% sure, but girl, you single-handedly turned the tide and messed up that person's situation. He knew I would be suspicious, so in order to avoid being exposed, he wouldn't let me live."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Lingyue took a gentle breath.
The file in the box yesterday had already confessed to her who wanted to kill Xu Changguan.
"Master, in order to survive, please eat something like this." Chu Lingyue said.
Looking at the dark paste in her hand, Xu Changguan hesitated for a second, then swallowed it without asking anything.
"From now on, the inside of your body will change because of it. If you smell a pungent smell, it means there is poison near you. The stronger the pungent smell, the closer the poison is to you, and it is impossible to avoid it.
It doesn’t matter, it will purify all poisons, but it will make you uncomfortable during the purification process.”
"After you are injured, no matter how big or small it is, please remember not to be nervous. As long as you keep your heartbeat steady, the injury will heal on its own in the shortest possible time."
"This thing lasts indefinitely, but it will accelerate your aging and have certain side effects. I will remove it for you when you think it is okay."
After hearing Chu Lingyue's introduction, Xu Changguan couldn't help but touch his belly.
How can such a small paste have such a magical effect?
"I can't control my curiosity. May I ask Miss April, what on earth is this?" He was a little embarrassed.
"I call it an ugly thing that is not very tasty." Chu Lingyue talked nonsense and then explained:
"Because there are a lot of drugs in this thing, and the effects are quite exaggerated, I haven't thought of a suitable name yet. But the Tiansi Bureau seems to be very busy now, so I won't disturb you. If you have any questions, I will take the initiative to come to you.
,Farewell."
It was indeed an ointment, but it was made by killing dozens of kinds of poisonous insects with voodoo, soaking them in countless kinds of poisons, and mixing the resulting liquid with some powdered drugs.
Because the medicine was extremely effective and had serious side effects, Chu Lingyue had not continued to develop and improve it. Unexpectedly, it would actually come in handy today.
Before she could rest after returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, she received a summons from the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty.
"The Queen Mother announced your entry into the palace because of the things that have gone viral in the city these days. She has never liked you. Why don't you find a reason to push her away? Once she enters the palace, she doesn't know what to do.
I'm sorry for you!"
Qiu Ri followed him nervously and kept mumbling, but Chu Lingyue was still telling Chun Chao: "Go and check the medical center. If there is anything inappropriate, ask them to seize the time to rectify it. We will open tomorrow no matter what. Remember
?”
After Chun Chao left, she told Qiu Ri: "The two people in the library haven't done much recently. Keep an eye on them and don't give them a chance to act like monsters."
Hearing this, Qiu Ri was startled: "Grandma sent me and Chun Chao away. Are you planning to go to the palace alone to meet the Queen Mother?"
Nodding, Chu Lingyue took something from the drawer, put it into her sleeves, and left immediately. The group of guards who went with her were left at the gate of the palace by her in the end.
She knew about that woman, the Empress Dowager Tang.
If you really want to take someone with you, it will be easy for her to control you.
The scene was exactly the same as the scene she saw when she entered the palace last time. Chu Lingyue knelt on the ground after arriving at Shoukang Palace to pay her respects and could not get up again. The Empress Dowager Tang moved the Buddhist beads and the inconsistent chanting sounds made people uneasy.
Time passed minute by minute, until the orange outside the window covered the blue sky, and the Empress Dowager Tang spoke: "Chu Lingyue, do you know your guilt?"
Under the cover of her fine clothes, Chu Lingyue slightly moved her knees, which were already so painful that they were almost unconscious, and replied unhurriedly: "What crime did I commit? Please make it clear to the Queen Mother."
"Oh? You don't follow the rules of women, and the immoral things you did in private have spread throughout the capital, causing an uproar in the palace. Don't you know?"
The Empress Dowager Tang, who had launched an attack as soon as she came up, was more or less proud of herself.
She wanted to see how tough the man kneeling in the hall would be next.
"Prince Jing loves you so much that he doesn't hesitate to offend the Ai family for you, and he doesn't even take Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and Prince Annan's Mansion seriously. Even the other two women in the mansion have only been kicked out. You're better off. You
Is this how you repay King Jing? You are so presumptuous! You just don’t take the royal family seriously, but you dare to ruin the reputation of the royal family like this. You are an unforgivable sin!"
The Empress Dowager Tang became more and more fierce as she continued speaking, as if she was not the same person who had just chanted the sutra.
Chu Lingyue had known she would say this, so she smiled and said, "So what does the Queen Mother want?"
Seeing that she was still so arrogant, the Empress Dowager Tang became angry.
"Although the rumors are strong outside, the Ai family must find out what the facts are, so that no one can say that the Ai family is indiscriminate and only listens to rumors."
After saying that, she called to the nuns who had been waiting for her: "Go and check Princess Jing's innocence."
"Pfft." Chu Lingyue laughed.
The Empress Dowager Tang became angry again, "What's so funny about you?"
Chu Lingyue did not respond and made a move to untie her belt: "Where do you want to start checking?"
Several nuns were speechless and looked at the Queen Mother's position. The Queen Mother was only grinding her back molars.
Chu Lingyue and Chu Banshi had already consummated their relationship. What can a physical examination reveal?
