"Well, apart from being two-faced, Princess Royal is actually very competitive …" Xu Qi An deduced the aggressive side of Princess Royal based on behavioral analysis.
"Huh … Why do I feel like it's looking at me?!"
The spiritual dragon's eyes were not fierce vertical pupils, but black pearl-like pupils, just like the pet dogs he had seen in his previous life. Its eyes were like a pair of bright black buttons.
Therefore, it looked very docile.
But that was not the point. Xu Qi An had an inexplicable feeling that the spiritual dragon was waiting for him.
Sure enough, when Princess Royal approached the spiritual dragon, something unexpected happened.
It suddenly displayed its violent and aggressive side again. It let out a low and hoarse roar towards the Eldest Princess, threatening her not to come closer.
Princess Royal frowned and took a few steps back.
The spiritual dragon stopped growling and laid its head on the shore, still in the posture of "come and ride me".
"Hey, the spiritual dragon won't let Huaiqing go up."
"What's going on? Is the spiritual dragon in a bad mood today?"
"No, it's posture. It's waiting for someone to ride it …"
The princes began to discuss.
Xu Qi An could not hear the princes' discussion, but he knew that he could not be in a stalemate. Just imagine, a spiritual dragon that liked to eat purple gas didn't listen to the princess, but it was waiting for you to ride it.
This was definitely not a good thing!
Xu Qi An guessed that it was caused by his strange luck, but he would rather explore slowly on his own, even if it would be in vain. He did not want his secret to be exposed.
According to the rules of survival in this world, you would not be forgiven just because you did not know!
"Princess Royal, this monster is very dangerous. Let's leave quickly."
While Princess Royal did not think of him, Xu Qi An quickly stood in front of her. This way, he would not only overlap the spiritual dragon's gaze, but also make Princess Royal realize that there was something wrong with the spiritual dragon's mood.
Princess Royal frowned, stared at the spiritual dragon for a moment, and nodded helplessly. "Let's go."
Xu Qi An pretended to stay behind and let Princess Royal go first. After walking for dozens of meters, he heard the spiritual dragon whining behind him.
…
When Xu Qi An and Huaiqing returned to the square platform, Second Princess Lin An had been fished out. She was covered with a thick cloak, shivering with her hands in front of her chest, and her lips were blue and purple.
She pointed at Huaiqing and cried, "I want to tell my father, Huaiqing, I'm not done with you."
Princess Royal said lightly, "What does it have to do with me? "It is clearly because the spiritual dragon is out of control."
The image of Lin 'an's repeated defeats and repeated defeats had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The princes and princesses were used to it and discussed the abnormality of the spirit dragon.
"There is indeed something wrong with the Spirit Dragon. It went berserk just now."
"Why it is from the spiritual dragon, it is still on."
"It seems to be aggrieved."
As the elder brother, the Crown Prince felt sorry for his sister for two seconds, and then happily joined the discussion. "Maybe it is in a bad mood. The spiritual dragon is not an ordinary beast, it naturally has a temper."
However, beasts are beasts after all. Their thoughts can't be fathomed. After a moment of discussion, the princes no longer paid attention.
Second Princess fell into the water and was afraid of catching a cold, so the banquet ended early. The noble princes returned in carriages, leaving the servants to clean up the mess.
Princess Royal took Xu Qi An to Donghua Gate and arrived outside the Imperial Library.
The Imperial Library was the royal library. There were seven pavilions, and the books inside were as vast as the sea.
Xu Qi An and Princess Royal buried themselves in ancient scrolls for more than an hour and found a lot of information about the Initial Supervisor.
This person created his own warlock system, but his origin was mysterious. He assisted the first emperor to create a great cause, and should have been a minister worthy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
But the records about him came to an abrupt end five hundred years ago.
It was obvious that he had been erased from history. The person who erased him was undoubtedly the Wu Zong Emperor.
On the second floor of the Imperial Library's third library, Princess Royal bathed in the sunlight. Her fair face seemed to be shining, and the fine hair on her face could be seen.
She said, "If the Wu Zong Emperor erased the records of the Initial Supervisor, then it would be impossible for us to find any relevant information in the Imperial Library."
Seeing Xu Qi An's disappointed expression, Princess Royal said, "Didn't you say that you found Buddhist characters in the stone pillars? We can try to find a breakthrough from here. "
After more than an hour of reading, she looked a little tired and unconsciously leaned close to the desk. This action made her heavy chest rest on the desk.
This woman's chest has a ravine … Xu Qi An glanced at it and no longer paid attention. After all, when you stared at the abyss, the abyss could also stare at you.
And this abyss, Xu Qi An did not dare to provoke it. Unless he could make the abyss shyly look away in the future.
After changing his train of thought, there was indeed a harvest.
"I flipped through the 'Daibun: Geography' and found that when Daibun was founded, there was no Buddhist temple in the capital, nor were there any Buddhist preachers. But five hundred years ago, a Buddhist temple suddenly appeared, called the Pagoda Temple. "Princess Royal was worthy of being a top student. In terms of searching for information, she was much better than the uneducated Xu Qi An.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and there was fatigue in her eyes, but it also melted the cold light in her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to have come to life. Princess Royal was happy with this discovery.
"When the Pagoda Temple was at its peak, there were many pilgrims every day, and high officials and dignitaries came and went. One temple actually bought nearly a hundred fertile fields.
"But then came the imperial court's action to destroy Buddhism, and the Pagoda Temple gradually declined. Now, the major Buddhist temples in the capital have nothing to do with the Pagoda Temple.
"Well, one branch has been preserved and renamed the Green Dragon Temple. The address is White Phoenix Mountain in the western suburbs … Hey, are you listening?"
"Don't be noisy. You're interrupting my train of thought." Xu Qi An frowned.
Princess Royal raised her eyebrows, but she held back and did not speak.
Xu Qi An categorized all the clues in his mind.
"If Wei Yuan wants me to target the mastermind behind the scenes, I don't have to interfere with the Initial Supervisor's matter. But these things cannot be avoided. Only by figuring out the core of the case can I continue to pursue it …"
"Based on the current situation, the sequence of events in Sampo is like this: Emperor Wuzong succeeded in usurping the throne, and sealed the Initial Supervisor in Sampo. He used a divine sword to suppress fate, and supplemented it with a magical seal. This secret is only known to the Yuanjing Emperor. "
"The northern demons worked with the traitors in the imperial court to blow up the seal in Sampo and release the Initial Supervisor. They tried to cause chaos in Daibun's capital, and they took the opportunity to cause chaos in the north."
"If we follow this train of thought, there are two types of targets for my investigation. One, people who are trying to restore the former imperial family. Two, people who are trying to usurp the throne. "
"… A relative of the imperial family? The former imperial family is history from 500 years ago. The first possibility is not high, so someone is trying to usurp the throne? Hmm, this hypothesis is more reasonable, but it lacks evidence. "
"To be able to secretly form an alliance with the northern demons, and also a relative of the imperial family … King of Zhenbei?!" Xu Qi An's eyes widened, revealing a shocked expression.
"What did you find?" Princess Royal asked immediately.
… I suspect that your uncle wants to be your father, but I don't have evidence. Xu Qi An shook his head, not answering Princess Royal, and continued with his reasoning.
These words could not be said before there was conclusive evidence. Slandering a prince was a capital crime!
"Reasoning is like solving a mathematical problem. All the clues must be connected and pieced together. If there's even a single doubt that can't be verified, the answer will be far from the truth. "
"So, there are two things I need to do now. First, confirm that the person sealed under Sampo is the Supervisor. This is the core of all my speculations. And in order to confirm this matter, I have to figure out what role the Buddhist sects play in this matter. "
"Second, I need to confirm if the person who killed the Zhao County Magistrates was Renzong from the Taoist Sect. If it was, what role did the Taoist Sect play in this? Colluding with the King of Zhenbei? Then, I must find evidence to prove their collusion. "
"The solution to this problem must be completed within a week. Even if I do it wrong, I still have a chance to start again. If there is still no progress in the case in ten days, I can only hug Father Wei's thigh and cry, "This is useless, let's build another one."
Xu Qi An thought as he finalized the mission for the next day.
Check the information of the major cultivation systems and confirm the truth of the death of the Zhao County Magistrates. Visit Qing Long Temple to understand the secrets of that year. Visit the residence of the King of Zhenbei to see the Princess Consort who was known as the number one beauty in the capital.
After making up his mind, Xu Qi An said, "This official has some clues but before the result is out, I dare not speak nonsense to the Princess."
Princess Royal was very smart and did not question further. She nodded, "Bengong is tired."
The gold-threaded nanmu horse carriage left the Imperial Library and parted ways with Xu Qi An. Xu Da Lang squeezed the horse's abdomen and the horse's hooves clattered as it rushed to Dong Hua Gate but was stopped by a row of guards.
"Princess Lin An wants to see you!" The leader of the guards said.
Princess Lin An? She and Princess Royal were not on good terms and I have the label of Princess Royal on me. One fear that nothing good will happen. Not seen!
Xu Qi An flatly refused, "I have the Emperor's order to be in charge of investigating the case. Report back to Princess Lin An and another day."
As he spoke, he took out the gold medal.
Unexpectedly the leader of the guards was not afraid at all and chuckled, "Princess Lin An is His Majesty's most doted Princess. Your gold medal is not useful here."
According to the observation at the banquet, the Queen of the Night Club … Ah no, Princess Lin An was unruly and headstrong. Even though she was not like Ling Yue Meimei who would whine for a long time after a punch, but she would still cry when she fell into the water. She was not a person with deep schemes.
There was a possibility of being deliberately made difficult but it was not a Feast at Hongmen. One just had to be careful.
So confident … Xu Qi An spat out a mouthful of turbid air, "Lead the way."
