Chapter 375

375 Xu Qi ‘an, I made a contribution again (2)

Xu Qi ‘an laughed along, but he sighed in his heart.

He’d planned to pretend he didn’t know anything and leave jingxiu Palace first. Then, he’d tell Wei Yuan what he’d found so that he could capture lang ‘er as quickly as possible and catch noble Consort Chen off guard.

But because of the relationship with Lin ‘an, he inevitably hesitated. Although he calmed down, he would not hesitate to expose noble Consort Chen.

Unexpectedly, noble Consort Chen’s rank was not low. It could be expected that as soon as he left, lang ‘er would die of illness. In this way, noble Consort Chen would no longer have any flaws.

“Noble Consort Chen is a qualified consort … Lin an is such a stupid girl, one do not know if it is a blessing or a curse to grow up in the palace.”

Recalling noble Consort Chen’s earlier operation, she was indeed astute and called him over to test him regardless of the consequences. In the end, she really did find out.

Her subsequent honest words seemed to be sincere, but in fact, she was fearless, because she knew that as long as she got rid of lang ‘er, she would be flawless, and Xu Qi’ an would not be able to take lang ‘er away unless he wanted to die.

Since he had already been discovered, he might as well be more generous and say it out loud. He could even win my trust … Then. he threw out a beautiful girl as bait. If I was a lecherous person, I might have taken the bait …

With monk Shen Shu’s protection, I might not die on the spot, but I’ll also expose myself. Emperor Yuan jing, that dog, will definitely seal me in sang po. The outcome will still be the same, and I’ll die with him.

After leaving jingxiu Palace, Xu Qi ‘an declined the invitation to play Gomoku, saying that he still had important matters to deal with.

young eunuch, I have finished dealing with the matters in the palace. Later, when you report to the Emperor, there are some things that can be said and some that can not be said. I will give you a few words of advice. Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.

The young eunuch put on a serious expression. Lord Xu, please speak.

“You have to tell the Emperor everything about the jingxiu Palace. “You have to put it this way: after asking the beautiful scenery Palace’s maid lang ‘er, Lord Xu’s expression was extremely unsightly, as if he did not want to stay any longer. He did not even drink his tea.

“But before Lord Xu could leave jingxiu Palace, she was suddenly asked to stay by the Imperial consort and was invited to the rear courtyard … The Imperial consort dismissed everyone and spoke to Lord Xu for a long time in the room. The servant was left in the courtyard and was not allowed to enter. Although he could see the two people in the room, he could not hear what they were talking about.

“The conversation is over. Lord Xu has left the palace with a heavy heart.”

After Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking, he took out five silver notes from his pocket, as well as the five silver taels he had extorted from the eunuch guarding the jingxiu palace gate, making a total of ten silver taels. He handed them to the young eunuch without any anger.

The little eunuch opened his arms and waved his hand,”Lord Xu, please don’t.”

After keeping the silver, he carefully thought over Xu Qi ‘an’s words. He felt that there was not much of a problem, so he nodded.”Alright, this servant will do as you say.”

Xu Qi ‘an immediately left the palace. He borrowed huaiqing’s horse from the palace guards and galloped back to the watchman’s office.

After being informed by the guard, he entered the noble spirit building and came to the tea room on the seventh floor.

Wei Yuan wasn’t in the tea room. Instead, he was on the observation deck. He was sitting on a large chair with his hair down. A black-robed official was combing his hair.

Wei Yuan waved his hand. come here and help me comb my hair.

The clerk in black handed the comb to Xu Qi ‘an and left the tea room.

“Duke of Wei, why are you combing your hair at this time?”

Xu Qi ‘an held the comb and combed her hair from head to toe without any knots. She thought to herself, ” it’s quite light.

“In Buddhism, hair means the strand of worry.” Wei Yuan was basking in the sunlight. He squinted his eyes and said gently, ”

“Comb your hair, and the past will be written off.”

What did that mean?

Wei Yuan was acting a little strange today. What did he mean by writing off the past?

“There’s no point in combing hair. I’ll give you a massage.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“I’ll try!” Wei Yuan laughed.

Xu Qi ‘an put the comb in her arms, spread her fingers, and pressed on Wei Yuan’s head, gently pressing on his acupuncture points.

Wei Yuan’s breathing gradually slowed down. The warm sun shone on the two of them. The scenery was beautiful. Xu Qi ‘an squinted as he looked out. He felt like he had returned to the human world, far away from the infighting in the palace.

“Not bad.” Wei Yuan laughed.

Of course, this is the magical skill of the barbershop. I’ll make you a hair washing chair later … “I have something to report,” Xu Qi ‘an coughed and said.

“Speak,” he said.

“I’ve already found out who the mastermind is.”

Wei Yuan opened his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

“It’s noble Consort Chen!” “I went to jingxiu Palace to investigate a case today and found out that lang ‘er, the palace maid beside her, was the one who tore up the book of the Imperial medicine Hall …” Xu Qi’ an said in a low voice.

He told Wei Yuan about his discovery and Noble Consort Chen’s recruitment in full.

Wei Yuan patted his hand, signaling him to stop. He stood up and walked to the edge of the observation tower. He pressed his hands on the guardrails and looked into the distance. who do you think is behind noble Consort Chen? ”

How would I know … “It might be related to the Directorate of Celestials,” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.

This was what he had deduced from the existence of the aura observation skill.

“It’s not the Directorate of Celestials,” Wei Yuan shook his head, his tone firm.

It was not the Directorate of Celestials … Xu Qi ‘an took a few seconds to react and said in shock, “”Duke Wei, you knew that noble Consort Chen was scheming against the Empress and you?”

“I didn’t expect her to be so cruel to drag the Crown Prince into this … I haven’t paid any more attention to this case after I handed it over to you. It was only this morning when I learned that the Empress had pleaded guilty and heard you talk about the case from beginning to end that I guessed it was noble Consort Chen.”

…… Xu Qi ‘an stared at his back for a long time. In the past, he thought that Wei Yuan and Golden Lotus were both old silver coins. Now, he realized that Golden Lotus was quite pure and not as profound as Wei Yuan.

If it wasn’t the Directorate of Celestials, then how could noble Consort Chen use the aura viewing technique? who else could use the aura viewing technique other than the Directorate of Celestials?

Xu Qian’s heart stirred. Lord Wei, I just remembered something.

“A third-grade Warlock that appeared in the Yunzhou case?” Wei Yuan asked.

“Lord Wei is wise …” Xu Qi ‘an was convinced.

“I’ve investigated this person as well, but I couldn’t find anything. Do you know the name of the third-grade Warlock in the Directorate of Celestials?” Wei Yuan asked.

“Master of celestial mystery.” Xu Qi ‘an had heard the act tough King mention this before.

“Astrologers can hide from the heavens and erase their existence and all traces they left behind. Their parents will forget them, their wives and children will forget them, and all the written records they leave behind will disappear. This was the power of a seer.

other than that, astrologers can also change other people’s impression of him, leaving a vague memory in their hearts, but they can’t remember it completely.

Wei Yuan looked into the distance,”during the Sang Bo case, you’ve investigated the first director, but there were no records of it. There were no words.” One had to know that Emperor Wu Zong could change history, but he could not stop the mouths of his descendants, let alone stop the unofficial history.

“It was the supervisor who erased all information about the first supervisor, as if he had never existed. Even I often mistook him for the creator of the Directorate of Celestials, the creator of the Warlock system.

“Then, due to the separation caused by the gap in history, I will suddenly remember that there was a first supervisor.”

“How do we investigate this?” Xu Qi ‘an was stunned.

He once again realized how terrifying the top experts of this world were.

“If you want to investigate, you have to rely on the supervisors.” Wei Yuan said.

It made sense, only magic could defeat magic, father Wei’s thinking was not wrong … Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

“But the supervisor refused,” Wei Yuan sighed.

This was an expected answer. The Directorate of Celestials had many secrets, and the director was like an old man who kept them secret … Xu Qi ‘an pursed his lips and asked in a curious tone, ”

“Does Lord Wei know what the first and second grade warlocks are called?”

Wei Yuan shook his head. I’ve always been at odds with the supervisor. Da Feng is like a game of chess. He’s the player, and I’m also the player. We often have conflicts due to our different thoughts.

This was the first time Wei Yuan had talked to Xu Qi ‘an about such “high-end” content.

Perhaps in Wei Yuan’s heart, the director was his biggest political enemy? “Lord Wei, how are you going to save the Empress?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

whether or not the Imperial uncle will be the scapegoat is still to be considered. The Emperor likes checks and balances and will think that after the Empress is dethroned, the Crown Prince will have no opponents. However, the Emperor has thought of some unhappy things and may not have such a calm mind, unless he suspects noble Consort Chen …

“The Empress’s heart is still too soft. When she took this step, she didn’t discuss it with me in advance.” Wei Yuan’s voice was helpless.

Duke of Wei, are you trying to say that you’re a stupid teammate, Queen?

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes lit up. He knew that his efforts before leaving the palace had not been in vain, or perhaps he had made a contribution.

“Duke of Wei, I’m guilty of acting on my own initiative.”

Wei Yuan turned around and frowned, “”What’s the matter?”
