Let’s talk about Xia Xiaoman’s side first.

She first used the method of the Irin teachings, and ran to the palace without saying a word, saying that she would meet her own brother if she was alive.

Xia Xiaoman did not disappoint Yi Lin's expectations, and pulled out the sword while making a fuss. When the Shuangxue Sword was pulled out, the whole palace was shocked.

When the golden elixir monk Xia Xiaoman showed his true strength, he triggered a strange phenomenon. Snow fell briefly above the palace, but outside the palace was clear and clear.

Although there are imperial guards in the palace, ordinary imperial guards are not the opponents of Jindan monks. Even if Xia Xiaoman showed mercy, he would push forward all the way, like a pig who suddenly advances and breaks into the depths of the forbidden palace.

But just when Xia Xiaoman was about to arrive at Xuanyang Palace where Emperor Jisheng lived, he encountered a "stumbling block".

After learning the news, the commander arrived in time and slashed the snow and ice all over the sky with one knife, forcing Xia Xiaoman to retreat.

Speaking of this, Xia Xiaoman looked lingering in fear:

"I never knew that the strength of the commander was so unfathomable."

The commander of the six armies can force the Jindan cultivator to retreat with one sword?

When Yi Lin heard this, she was not too surprised and asked again: "Didn't you use your princess identity to suppress it?"

"I'm going to suppress it!" Xia Xiaoman said naturally: "It's okay if I don't suppress it? But the commander in turn pressed it back with my brother, saying that no one in Xuanyang Palace except the emperor was allowed to enter. Hey, senior brother, later I secretly used my spiritual sense to scan it, and I found that there was no one inside, and my brother was not in Xuanyang Palace at all. I'm very sure!"

"Very good," Yi Lin learned about the situation on Xia Xiaoman's side, and did not comment, then turned to look at Jian Nanchun: "Senior brother, where are you?"

Jian Nanchun expressed his discoveries.

He squatted for a day from morning to night.

Jian Nanchun discovered that a curtain was set up in the Golden Palace where all officials attended court on weekdays. The officials would report the war situation presented by various places and other memorials together. The left and right prime ministers folded neatly with a tray and put it into the curtain, and then ended the daily morning court.

Needless to say, there was a puppet stand-in behind the curtain, and there was no line during the morning court, which was equivalent to the lowest-level supporting role.

After the morning court ended, the two prime ministers on both sides sent the front line and memorials to a certain place.

When Jian Nanchun mentioned the location of the bedroom, Xia Xiaoman, who had just calmed down, was instantly numb by this operation and became angry: "What! It's actually Chang'an Palace! It's the place of that witch!"

Yi Lin and Jian Nanchun looked at each other.

This is not the first time they have heard of the word "demon woman" from Xia Xiaoman.

The widow of the late emperor, Shufei, is the current empress dowager.

I have long heard of the Empress Dowager's assistance in government affairs behind the curtain, but I didn't expect that this is the auxiliary method.

"My brother must have been hidden by that witch! I'm going to chop her!"

The palace couldn't find her brother, so Xia Xiaoman was anxious, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to kill him to Chang'an Palace to find his brother before talking.

But Xia Xiaoman just swung the Frost and Snow Sword and flew half a piece away from the ground, and was caught by Yi Lin with one hand.

"Don't be impulsive, this is not that simple. If the witch you mentioned...the witch had any trouble with your brother, it would be impossible for the left and right prime ministers and the commanders to cooperate so much. It is very likely that the whereabouts of your brother will be clear about the left and right prime ministers and the commanders, let's figure it out first."

"Besides," Yi Lin thought for a while, and said again: "The commander can force you to retreat with one sword. Is the witch you mentioned responsible for being cultivating? Is this clear? If you rush forward rashly, you will only reveal your trump card, and there is no benefit."

"What should I do?" Xia Xiaoman felt it was reasonable when she heard this. But she was not used to such twists and turns, and she couldn't think of any good idea for a while.

"Simple," Yi Lin snapped his fingers: "It seems that the suspicion in the palace, or all the messy threads, have tied a dead knot in the same place. We don't have to do so many complicated investigations, just go straight to the source."

"Shim?"

"Yes, it's that witch. It's better to choose a day than to meet her. I plan to meet her tonight."

When the listless Jian Nanchun heard this, he was immediately lost. He looked at Junior Brother Lin Yi with a firm chest: "Junior Brother, what do you think?"

Yi Lin subconsciously snatched the dead skin on his forehead and smiled, "Haha, Isn't this very common thing to be assassinated by someone?"

...

...

To do it, it is better to be late at night.

While there was still time, Yi Lin asked about Tianxuan Academy.

"Tianxuan Academy..." Xia Xiaoman fell into deep thought. Not long after, a fog appeared in her eyes and she murmured: "Speaking of this, when my father was alive, he liked to take me to Tianxuan Academy to study."

"Reading? In the Tianxuan Academy Library? What kind of books do he read?"

Yi Lin grabbed the point in a moment.

"The Father often said that the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of power are the general trend of history, and no one can stop it. There is no dynasty that lasts for thousands of years, nor does it last forever. Therefore, what the Father likes to read most during his lifetime was the history of the previous dynasty. He likes to appreciate the rise and fall of each dynasty over the past five thousand years, and read the historical chapters of the heroes left in history books and written by future generations."

"Are history books?"

Yi Lin quickly filtered out the part that she had done in her junior sister's words, polished her own father, and directly extracted the essence "historical books".

"Emperor Xia Yuan,"

"The Jade Seal of the State of Zhen,"

"history,"

“Zen Master Kuye,”

Yi Lin closed her eyes and her brain ran at high speed. He connected several seemingly unrelated words and clues one by one in his mind again, extracting the common points. After a while, Yi Lin nodded and vaguely understood what he wanted to find in Tianxuan Academy.

But this matter is a big project. He needs to wait until he meets the legendary witch tonight before talking about it.

To be honest, he was always a little curious about the witch that Xia Xiaoman said. If Xia Xiaoman said, Concubine Shu could have counterattacked all the way, exhausted the former queen, became the queen, and became the emperor, and became the empress. If the story was written, it could be written into a grand palace fighting drama.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this in front of his junior sister, so as not to get into trouble.

But if we talk about the matter, this Shufei is not simple.

...

soon,

late at night.

Third update.

That is, zero o'clock.

The cold moon is in the middle of the sky.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and there are no clouds.

After Yi Lin instructed Xia Xiaoman and Senior Brother Jian to stay in Yingxue Pavilion and not run around, he landed on the eaves alone.

The four-corner eaves are lined up one after another, covered with moonlight, like glowing covers, adding a bit of mystery to the cold deep palace.

Except for the five blood spirits that were exhausted from the last time [Bloodthirsty Disaster], Yi Lin had no chance to replenish them. He kept reminding himself to be careful. This Qing was nothing like other places. The commander could force Xia Xiaoman to retreat with one knife. Obviously, his cultivation was not weak, so don’t capsize in the gutter.

The comfort in the Tianjian Sect over the years, coupled with the guarantee of "Resurrection Coin", has made Yi Lin's mentality a little more slack and casual, as if everything is just playing. Yi Lin himself also noticed this.

Avoiding all the secret whistles of the Minggang, Yi Lin took advantage of the night to the Chang'an Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

"oh?"

As soon as Yi Lin climbed over the wall and entered the yard, she found something was wrong.

Even in the middle of the night, there were teams of imperial guards patrolling back and forth in the palace, but the Chang'an Palace was particularly quiet.

"It's interesting."

Yi Lin took a slight cold night breath and pulled out a sword from the storage space, pointed it at the ground in a silent step, and walked towards Chang'an Palace.

In the luxurious palace, there are bright candlelights in every door and window, and a figure hits the paper window after the candlelight is enlarged.

It was the figure of a long-haired woman. She was sitting sideways on a rocking chair, shaking her back and forth at a certain rhythm. While shaking the chair, the woman gently stroked her flat belly and hummed a song.

"Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya
