Chapter 58 The mourning hall

 “Ah—!!”

When Li Yan heard Cao An's sharp screams from the hall, he frowned helplessly.

The little eunuch kept his head down and looked up and saw that his people were gone. He was afraid he would be frightened.

He said to the guards guarding outside the hall: "Hard to go in and comfort the eunuchs, so that they will not be alarmed, and that the prince will rest."

The guards were not responsible for him, but when they saw the prince's attitude towards Li Yan, the group of guards immediately responded as if they heard the orders of the emperor: "Yes!"

Li Yan said again: "I just heard a strange noise. It is suspected that a traitor pretended to be a ghost. I must investigate thoroughly. As an internal guard, I have no choice but to do it."

His eyes swept over the guards: "I entered the palace for the first time and didn't know the path and couldn't break in. I hope that two guards who are familiar with the environment in Shaoyang courtyard will lead me to walk around in the outer court."

The guards showed admiration. No wonder they could be valued by the prince at a young age. Look at this prudence, it is different.

Soon, the two stood up and reported their names: "Zhang Huan, Xu Hong, are willing to serve Li Wuwei!"

Li Yan was slightly stunned. He looked at Zhang Huan, thinking that this name was quite popular, and nodded and said, "I'm working hard!"

With two guards holding torches, Li Yan went in the direction of the sound of water drops.

Soon, the three of them came to the southwest of the hall and their voices were gone.

Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the blue brick floor. Sure enough, he found a pool of water marks and said, "Put the torch over!"

The two guards came over, Zhang Huan raised the torch, took a closer look, and felt aroused.

Because of the water trace, it looks strange.

It's like a footprint walking barefoot by a man.

"It's not like, this is what a person walks over after taking off his shoes."

Li Yan gestured with his hands and found that his footprints were not long, quite small and exquisite, probably the woman's footprints.

The water traces extend all the way until dark.

The place where the hand was missing was missing, there seemed to be a woman in white dressed in disheveled hair, waving gently and traveling all the way.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, his legs remained motionless, and he sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost!"

The two guards were determined to hear him and couldn't help but feel excited: "Li Wuwei has seen through the identity of the ghost?"

Li Yan said: "This is not a ghost, it must be someone pretending to be. The sound I heard in the hall just now is not the movement of walking."

He didn't chase after him, but only looked at it in place, and found suspicious points: "Look, the water traces have dried up. I'm afraid that the man stepped on his footprints first, then made a sound to attract us."

Zhang Huan and Xu Hong were convinced: "Li Wuwei Yingming!"

Seeing that Xu Hong was more clever, Li Yan ordered: "Go and call more people, but don't disturb the prince of the inner palace to rest, just treat it as a normal patrol."

"yes!"

Xu Hong took the order and left, and soon he brought eight more guards over.

A group of masculine young men gathered together, and the torch illuminated the area within a radius of more than ten meters. Li Yan was brave and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Everyone followed the water traces.

He quickly left the area of ​​the side hall and headed west.

The water traces on the ground became increasingly faded and disappeared quickly.

Li Yan looked forward: "Where is that?"

Zhang Huan said: "That's West Garden."

Li Yan thought of what the young eunuch Cao An said just now, when he first discovered the figure of a female ghost in white, and where he saw the shadow of a headless palace maid, they were all in the West Garden.

Meet.

Li Yan said without hesitation: "Get all together, don't separate!"

The guards responded in unison: "Yes!"

Everyone entered the West Garden in groups. Li Yan looked at it and said in confusion: "It seems a bit desolate here. Don't the palace servants be too busy cleaning?"

Zhang Huan whispered: "Your Highness doesn't like this place very much, and he almost never comes to the West Garden..."

Li Yan frowned and felt strange.

In Tai Chi Palace, half of the area is lived by the emperor, the Yeting Temple accounts for about one quarter, and the remaining quarter is the East Palace, which contains three gates and twenty halls and hundreds of corridors.

In comparison, Shaoyang Courtyard is only about one-tenth of the original East Palace. It has moved from its spacious old house to its small new house, and has it abandoned such a large area?

However, people’s likes and dislikes are really hard to say, especially the crown prince and the crown prince of a country.

Countless people pondered the prince's thoughts and showed a little disgust. Xiyuan became a place where grandma did not love his uncle and did not love him.

Reducing his mind, Li Yan took the lead in walking towards the first room and pushed the door open.

It was clean inside, without any debris, but because it was not popular, it became increasingly empty.

The second room.

The third room.

The fourth room...

The buildings of the Tang Dynasty did not pursue exquisiteness and magnificence too much, but were all tall, wide, square, and very grand.

The pavilions and terraces in the palace stand there more steadily, and more than a dozen people walk in it, even feeling insignificant.

Under the night, the guards became more and more uneasy, while Li Yan calmed down and searched one by one.

Don't give the enemy a chance to defeat each other, and don't give up halfway.

This place belongs to the outer court and is the place where the imperial guards are active. He is responsible for the inner guards and is also in accordance with etiquette.

Everything is putting the safety of the prince first. If something happens to the prince, he will be in trouble.

Finally, when they arrived at a room in the corner, everyone pushed the door open and immediately felt something was wrong.

"Hey, where did Tao Ou and Mu Ren come from?"

In the deep and spacious room, there are curtains hanging in the center, and in front are rows of pottery dolls and wooden men.

Tao Ou is the famous Tang Sancai in later generations. It has a bright color, and the wooden man also paints oil colors and has a gorgeous shape.

They stood quietly, with exaggerated facial features depicted on the wooden faces, looking at the door intentionally or unintentionally, as if welcoming guests.

Li Yan listened with his ears and judged that there was no breathing in the room. He was fully alert and reached out to lift the curtain.

The scene that appears in front of you makes your pupils shrink and your face change drastically.

"Mojo Hall?"

Behind the curtain is a standard mourning hall decoration and a incense table offering, with three tributes on it.

In front of the incense burner wax table, there is a brazier, and there are still remaining gold and silver crocks.

It seems that someone has just worshipped.

Or someone has just used it.

Creepy.

The guards were so scared that they sat down on the ground and screamed, "The female ghost lives here. She has come all the way and leads us here too!"

There was a guard who was crying and snotting: "Have she been pestering me? I will never go to Pingkangfang again and will not pay me. Please spare me!"

Everyone looked over.

Li Yanze completely calmed down and knew that this was definitely not a ghost.

He circled around the mourning hall, looked at the tablet on the incense table, and found that there were only birth dates and horoscopes on it, but no name. He asked, "Who do you know the birth dates and horoscopes of His Royal Highness?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at him in unison.

Li Yan pointed to the tablet: "I want to be sure whether this is a victory!"

To defeat, to defeat, to defeat. The pressure here means suppression, blockage, and suppression, which means to use spells to suppress the target and win.

This was the biggest taboo in ancient palaces.

The distant witchcraft disaster of Emperor Wu of Han shook the foundation of the country. In the past decade, Li Zhi wanted to abolish Queen Wang, because the reason was to use the technique of overwhelming victory in the harem.

Empress Wang was infertile and was stopped by Changsun Wuji and other Guanlong gentry on the grounds that her noble daughter was not guilty. However, she and Concubine Xiao defeated the spell of Wu Mei's death, which was a crime of the fifth of the ten evils of Tang Lu. She immediately deposed the queen and was sentenced to death with Concubine Xiao Shu.

That was still a dispute in the harem, and now it involves the crown prince of a country!

Li Hong was weak and sickly, and he might have passed away at any time. He set up a mourning hall in his princely palace. If his birth date was written on the tablet, it would be obvious that he would be cursed to die early, which would inevitably lead to a huge earthquake!

The guards who reacted quickly also realized it, their faces changed drastically, and they almost trembled in fear.

As the guards of Shaoyang Palace, if they really want to use the magic of defeating evil, they will not escape the consequences and will all be ruined.

Female ghosts are not scary, people’s hearts are even more vicious!

In an almost dead atmosphere, a guard walked out with his lips trembling:

"I...I know..."
