Chapter 123 – Princess Lin’an Calls

Well, in addition to being dark, the Rapunzel’s competitive spirit is actually very strong …. Xu Qi’an speculated on the strong side of the Rapunzel’s personality based on an analysis of action psychology.

Huh…why do I get the feeling it’s looking at me?

Instead of fierce vertical pupils, the Spirit Dragon’s eyes were black pearl-like pupils, like the pet dogs he had seen in his last life, with eyes like a pair of bright black buttons.

As a result, it looks tame.

These were not the point, Xu Qi’an had an inexplicable feeling that Spirit Dragon was waiting for him.

Sure enough, when the eldest princess approached the Spirit Dragon, a scene that surprised everyone happened.

It suddenly showed its cranky, aggressive side again, sending out hoarse, low growls towards the Rapunzel, threatening her not to come any closer.

Rapunzel frowned and took a few steps back.

The spirit beast stopped barking, its head lying on the bank, still in the same posture of “come and ride me”.

“Huh, Spirit Dragon won’t let Huaiqing go up.”

“What’s going on, Spirit Dragon in a bad mood today?”

“Nope, in that stance, it’s just waiting to be ridden ….”

The royals began to talk.

Xu Qi’an couldn’t hear the imperial princes’ murmurings, but he knew that he couldn’t afford a stalemate, imagine a spirit beast that delights in purple qi and doesn’t buy the royal daughter’s account, but ends up spreading its legs and waiting for you to ride it.

This is definitely not good!

Xu Qi’an figured that it was caused by the strange luck in his body, but he preferred to feel his way slowly on his own, even if it was futile, he didn’t want the secret to come to light.

With the rules of survival in this world, there is no exoneration of sins just because you don’t know!

“Eldest Princess, this monster is dangerous, let’s leave quickly.”

Taking advantage of the fact that the Elder Princess did not associate him with him, Xu Qi’an quickly stepped in front of her, thus overlapping the Spirit Dragon’s gaze and also allowing the Elder Princess to realize that something was wrong with the Spirit Dragon’s mood.

The Eldest Princess frowned and stared at the Spirit Dragon for a moment before nodding helplessly, “Let’s go.”

Xu Qi’an pretended to break the back, letting the Eldest Princess go first before following himself, walking out dozens of meters, he heard an aggrieved wail coming from the Spirit Dragon behind him.

….

Xu Qi’an and Huaiqing returned to Sifangtai, the second princess Lin’an had already been fished out, dripping wet, draped in a thick cloak, hands clasped over her chest, freezing and shivering, lips blue.

She pointed at Huaiqing and cried, “I’m going to tell Father, Huaiqing, this palace is not finished with you.”

The Eldest Princess faintly said, “What does it have to do with this palace? It was clearly caused by Spirit Dragon’s emotional outburst today, which went out of control.”

Lin An’s image of repeated battles and defeats had long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the royal sons and daughters had become accustomed to it, discussing the anomalies of the Spirit Dragon.

“The Spirit Dragon is indeed out of sorts, and it’s a bit strange that it went berserk just now.”

“Why is it still on the shore, it’s staring this way…”

“Screaming like it’s still condescending ….”

As a full brother, the Crown Prince’s heart ached for his sibling for two seconds, and then happily joined the discussion, “Perhaps he’s in a bad mood, Spirit Dragons aren’t ordinary beasts and naturally have tempers.”

But beasts were beasts after all, their minds could not be fathomed, and after a few moments of discussion, His Highnesses stopped paying attention.

The second princess fell into the water, afraid of contracting wind and cold, the banquet was dispersed early, and the noble highnesses returned in carriages, leaving the pawns to clean up the mess.

The Eldest Princess took Xu Qi’an and diverted to the East China Gate, arriving outside the Wen Yuan Pavilion.

Wen Yuan Ge is the royal collection of books, there are seven attics, which contains a vast collection of books like a sea of smoke.

Xu Qi’an and the eldest princess buried themselves in ancient scrolls and searched for more than an hour, finding much information related to the first generation of the Supervisor.

This man created his own system of warlocks, but his origins are mysterious. He assisted the first emperor to create a thousand great deeds, and should have been a subordinate minister worthy of the Imperial Temple.

But accounts of him came to an abrupt end five hundred years ago.

Obviously, this was erased from history. The person who erased him was undoubtedly Emperor Wu Zong.

Wen Yuan Pavilion, the third collection building, second floor, by the window, Rapunzel half bathed in sunlight, her white face seemed to be permeated with light, and the subtle fuzz on her face could be seen.

She said, “If Emperor Wuzong erased the record of the first Supervisor of the Palace back then, then it is impossible for us to find any relevant information in the Wen Yuan Ge.”

Seeing Xu Qi’an exude disappointment, the Eldest Princess mentioned, “Didn’t you say that Buddhist texts were found in the stone pillars? We can try to find a breakthrough from here.”

After an hour or so of reading, she looked a little tired and unconsciously pressed herself closer to the desk, an action that caused her heavy breasts to rest on the desktop.

This woman has a gully in her chest …. Xu Qi An’s afterglow glanced at it and stopped paying attention, after all, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss may also be gazing at you.

And this Abyss, Xu Qi’an didn’t dare to provoke right now. Unless in the future, he could make the abyss shyly avert his gaze.

After switching my mindset, it paid off.

“I looked up the Da Bong-Geography and found that at the beginning of the founding of Da Bong, there were no Buddhist temples in the capital city, and there were no Buddhists preaching. But five hundred years ago, a Buddhist temple suddenly appeared, called the Pagoda Temple.” The Rapunzel was worthy of being a scholar, and in this aspect of looking up information, she was much better than Xu Qi’an, who had little culture.

Her long eyelashes fluttered and fluttered, there was fatigue in her eyes, but it also melted the light of the cold, cold pool-like eyes, at this time, it was as if the jade had come to life. The Princess rejoiced at this discovery:

“Pagoda Temple is the most prosperous time, the daily visitors such as clouds, dignitaries in and out constantly, a temple, even bought nearly a hundred piles of good land.

“But then came the imperial court’s campaign to exterminate the Buddha, and the Pagoda Temple gradually withered away, and now the several major Buddhist temples in the capital have little to do with the Pagoda Temple.

“Well, one lineage has been preserved and renamed the Green Dragon Temple, with an address in the western suburb of White Phoenix Mountain ….. Hey, did you listen again?”

“Quiet, interrupting my thoughts.” Xu Qi’an frowned.

Rapunzel raised her eyebrows and held back, not saying anything.

Xu Qi’an categorized all the clues in his mind.

“If Wei Yuan had let me target the black hand behind the curtain, the matter of the Primordial Supervisor wouldn’t have required me to intervene, but there’s no getting around these matters, and only by figuring out the central key to the case can I continue to pursue it …..”

“With what we’ve seen so far, the pulse of Sangpo is like this: Emperor Wuzong succeeded in usurping the throne back then, and sealed the Primordial Supervisor in Sangpo with a divine sword that suppresses qi, supplemented by a spell formation. This secret is known only to Emperor Yuan Jing.”

“The Northern Demon Clan teamed up with the Imperial Court’s internal two-fifths to blow up the Sangpo Seal and release the Primordial Supervisor in an attempt to get the Great Feng Capital in chaos so that they could take advantage of the chaos in the North.”

“If I follow this train of thought, there are two categories of people I’m investigating: one, people who are trying to restore the former royal family. Two, people trying to usurp the throne.”

” ….. Royal family clansmen? The former royal family is already five hundred years old, so the first one is unlikely, so someone is trying to usurp the throne? Well, this hypothesis is more reasonable, but it lacks evidence.”

“To be able to make a secret alliance with the Northern Demon Clan, and to be an Imperial Clan member …. Zhenbei King?!” Xu Qi’an’s eyes widened violently, revealing a stunned expression.

“What have you found?” Rapunzel asked immediately.

….. I suspect that your uncle wants to be your father, but I have no proof. Xu Qi’an shook his head, not answering the Elder Princess and continuing his own reasoning.

These words can’t be spoken until there’s solid evidence. Slandering the Prince is a capital offense!

“Reasoning is like doing a math problem, where any clues have to be articulated and pieced together. But where one suspicion is not confirmed, the answer may be off by a hundred thousand miles.”

“So now I have to do two things: one, confirm that what’s sealed underneath Sangpo is the Supervisor, which is the centerpiece of all my speculations. And to confirm this, I have to figure out what role the Buddha Sect is playing in this.”

“Second, I need to confirm if the one who killed Magistrate Zhao to silence him was a Daoist human sect, and if so, what role did the Daoist sect play in it, colluding with the King of Zhenbei? Then I need to find evidence that proves their collusion.”

“The solution to this problem must be completed within a week. In this way, even if I do it wrong, I still have the opportunity to start again from scratch. If the progress of the case is still not great within ten days, then I will have to hug Wei’s father’s thigh and cry: this number is ruined, rebuild one.”

Xu Qi’an thought about it while finalizing tomorrow’s task.

Check the information of the major cultivation systems to confirm the truth of Magistrate Zhao’s death; visit the Qinglong Temple to learn the secret stories of that year; visit the Zhenbei King’s Mansion to meet the princess who was known as the number one beauty in the capital.

After making up his mind, Xu Qi’an said, “My humble servant has some insights, just before the results come out, I don’t dare to talk nonsense with the princess.”

The Rapunzel was smart enough not to pursue the question, nodding her head and saying, “This Palace is tired.”

The golden heathered carriage drove away from Wen Yuan Pavilion and parted ways with Xu Qi An. Xu Dalang clamped his horse’s belly, and his horse’s hooves clattered as he rushed to Dong Hua Gate, where he was stopped by a line of guards.

“Princess Lin An wants to see you!” The head guard said.

Princess Lin’an? She’s not on good terms with the Princess, and I’m labeled as the Princess. I’m afraid it’s not a good thing. I don’t see it!

Xu Qi’an flatly refused, “I have an imperial order to investigate the case, you report back to Princess Lin’an for another day.”

With that, he pulled out his gold medal.

To my surprise, the head of the guards was not scared at all and said with a smile, “Princess Lin’an is His Majesty’s favorite princess, your gold medal, ah, it doesn’t work here.”

Based on the observation at the banquet, the Queen of the Nightclub…ah no, Princess Lin’an is spiteful and capricious, although she is not like Ling Yue’s sister who would oink for a long time when she punches, but she would still cry in aggravation when she falls into the water. Not a person with a deep heart.

You may get a hard time, talk about a hongkong, just be careful.

Is the bottom so full of …. Xu Qi’an exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, “Lead the way.”

PS: Surprise, surprise, surprise.
