Having breakfast with the princess must be extremely rich!
Li Huaiyun clapped his hands and then entered the main house. As soon as he entered the house, he discovered that the interior of the main house was larger than all the wings in his house combined.
This is where the princess lives! It's really big.
Mu Yuan was already sitting at the table and began to enjoy breakfast. Just like the last time at his house, this woman ate very enthusiastically.
Forehead! She really didn't look like a princess at all. Li Huaiyun looked at the woman in front of him and walked up quickly, fearing that the food would be eaten if it was too late.
He sat on the chair and looked at the exquisite plates of breakfast of various flavors on the table. He was shocked. It was indeed the life of a royal family.
The breakfast in the palace is quite rich, including pastries, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, etc., paired with various drinks and a variety of fruits.
Mu Yuan ate the buns with big mouthfuls and said to Li Huaiyun, "Eat quickly. If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to get some more!"
"Okay!" Li Huaiyun rolled up his sleeves and prepared to have a big meal.
The two of them were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, and started eating on the table. Li Huaiyun raised his head and glanced at Mu Yuan. This woman was very compatible with him at the moment.
As before, the two of them had almost eaten breakfast on the table. This scene surprised the maids who were serving them. Some of the maids turned their heads and laughed secretly. They all felt that the princess and the way he was eating... very funny.
"What's so funny about this?" Mu Yuan turned her head with a serious look and glanced at the palace maids. This move immediately made them shut up and lower their heads, for fear that the princess would be angry. .
Li Huaiyun wiped his mouth, then stood up, "Mu Yuan! Then where should we go next?"
"Let's go to my mother's palace first! Then go to Dali Temple to read the files!"
Li Huaiyun thought to himself that he hoped to go to Dali Temple early to save time. "
He tilted his head and put his face on his hands, "There are so many things, I hope they can be solved smoothly!"
"Well! Then let's set off quickly." Mu Yuan stood up and waved, "Follow me!"
Mu Yuan took Li Huaiyun to the palace where her mother had lived. When they were about to arrive outside Qihua Palace, two palace ladies were already standing outside the door of Qihua Palace in front, holding chrysanthemums in their hands. Waiting patiently for the arrival of the wooden kite,
This flower expresses remembrance.
"Why did you prepare flowers?" Li Huaiyun was puzzled by the two palace maids in front of him, and couldn't help but feel confused in his heart.
According to normal circumstances, this flower should be placed in front of her mother's mausoleum, and the flower is placed here? Will it have any other meaning?
He really wanted to ask, but now he was standing in front of the gate of Qihua Palace. Asking rashly would only be counterproductive.
Mu Yuan raised her hand and pushed open the closed door of Qihua Palace, leaving light fingerprints on the door.
She looked at the towering walls on both sides, "Although this place has no worries about food and clothing, there seems to be an irreconcilable struggle between everyone that is going on all the time. How many despicable and filthy things are hidden within these high walls?" thing."
"Are you so sure that your biological mother was killed?"
"It's not that I think she will definitely be killed."
"Are you so sure?"
“You’ll know it if you’ve been to that place!”
Mu Yuan took the chrysanthemum, and she wanted to reach out and take the pastry in the bowl.
When Li Huaiyun saw this, he immediately stepped forward and helped her hold the pastry, "Let me help you!"
"Thank you!" Mu Yuan spoke in a calm voice.
Li Huaiyun followed Mu Yuan into the Qihua Palace. The place had long been deserted, the yard was covered with dead grass, the houses inside were dilapidated, and the enclosed lake in the middle had dried up.
Mu Yuan walked into the dilapidated main house. There were several holes in the roof. A beam of light shot down from the damaged parts of the roof, illuminating the originally dark main house. The furniture was covered with dust. , the pillars are full of spider webs.
She put the anus on the bed, and then stared at the moldy quilt with a smell.
Li Huaiyun also placed the cakes on the bed, then stood behind Mu Yuan and looked around for a while. He found a few fresh footprints on the ground. Judging from the size, it was definitely not the work of the two of them.
Has anyone been here? He thought to himself, then followed the footprints to the window sill and found a small potted plant there with three burnt incense sticks on it.
He walked up, leaned down, looked carefully, and then moved the three sticks of incense on the potted plant with his hand.
"What's going on?" Li Huaiyun asked, "Besides you, is there anyone else who comes here to worship your biological mother?"
When Mu Yuan heard this, she immediately turned her head and looked over at him, "Don't talk nonsense! My mother is my only daughter!"
"Is that the current emperor?"
Mu Yuan looked disgusted, "Huh! That Hunjun is even more impossible! He never cared about my mother. Even if he knew that her mother was killed and fished her out of the lake, he never said a word. , and there has never been any sadness.”
"Are you wrong about him?"
"Impossible! He is such a cold and heartless person, I have seen it for a long time!"
"In that case, it must be someone else!" Li Huaiyun carefully came to the potted plant and asked loudly, "Mu Yuan, should I be able to move this potted plant?"
"Of course, it's been there for so many years anyway!"
Li Huaiyun dug gently in the cracked soil. As expected, he dug out a talisman wrapped in white rope.
After the worship, Mu Yuan walked up and saw what he was holding, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"The talisman, looking like this, must have been obtained from some temple. This may represent some kind of expectation. I don't know who buried this thing here. With the three burnt incense sticks, it must be It’s for the people in this palace.”
Li Huaiyun glanced at Mu Yuan and said, "Maybe he is someone who knows your biological mother, or is a palace maid and eunuch who served her."
"Stop joking!" Mu Yuan waved her hands with a look of disgust on her face, "The servants who have been with my mother have been killed by that foolish king a long time ago!"
yes! The empress fell into the water and died, and the servants in the palace could not escape the blame.
"Who could it be, leaving something here?" He leaned over and observed the potted plants again, and found that the soil must have been checked more than once.
"It seems that this person should come at a fixed time."
"Can you catch it?"
"Unless someone stares at it every day."
Mu Yuan said, "That'll be easy to do!"
Li Huaiyun continued to observe around the window. There were several handprints on the railing beside the window, but strangely, the three fingers in the middle were missing from this handprint.
Li Huaiyun compared, six six six? not understand?
Mu Yuan thought for a while, "Maybe it's someone my mother knew in the palace. His identity is very special and no one knows about it!"
"Yeah! I guess so!"
Li Huaiyun opened the talisman paper tied with white rope and found that there were talismans drawn on it and there were several hairs. He picked up one of them. Judging from the length and color, it should be a woman's hair.
"There's still hair in here!"
Mu Yuan took the hair and looked puzzled, "What's going on with this hair? Is it my mother's?"
"It shouldn't be possible. This is the time it took for the thing to be buried. It shouldn't be far away!"
Mu Yuan asked, "How do you know?"
"Because this kind of paper is in the soil, it will usually slowly dissipate within a few months. If you look at the talisman paper, it will only fade a little."
"Besides, your mother has been dead for so many years, how can this be her hair!"
Li Huaiyun folded his hands and fell into deep thought. He murmured, "It takes these steps to wrap up a woman's hair, then draw a charm on it, bury it in the soil, and add incense. This shows that it is possible." It’s some kind of ritual.”
Mu Yuan asked hurriedly, "As long as you untie it, won't you know the spell?"
"I guess so!"
Since there are hundreds of Taoist talismans, although some talismans have similar patterns, they have different functions. Therefore, Li Huaiyun did not understand this situation.
He explained, "This kind of Taoist charm is difficult for laymen to understand unless they are people who practice Taoist magic. I will put this thing away first and ask Master Liu then."
"That's right! When I was making spiritual weapons in the Demon Slayer Division, I also needed the help of Master Liu."
Li Huaiyun wrapped his hair back into the talisman paper, then found some fabric in the house, wrapped the talisman paper and stuffed it into his clothes.
Mu Yuan raised her head and looked around. A few rays of sunlight cast into the dim room, making her feel some warmth, as if it was the warmth of a mother.
"Do you want to see more here?"
Li Huaiyun looked around for a moment, "No need, this place is not the crime scene. If you have this free time, it would be better to go to the crime scene or Dali Temple!"
"Didn't you say that it's been too long and that the crime scene has been no longer visible?"
"That being said, some evidence persists for years!"
Mu Yuan suggested, "Then let's take a look at the Huxin Pavilion, and then go to Dali Temple."
"Yeah! Let's go and have a look!"
Mu Yuan walked out, and Li Huaiyun followed him. They came to the Huzhong Pavilion in the yard and stopped for a while.
Mu Yuan walked to the middle of the pavilion and raised her head to look at the top. She always remembered that when she was a child, her mother often took her to this pavilion to rest in the shade and teach her how to dance.
There was a trace of sadness in her eyes. This place was the last time she saw her mother.
After that, her mother was fished out of the lake and turned into a cold corpse.
She sniffed, holding back the grief in her heart, and stood by the pillar of the pavilion.
Li Huaiyun raised his head, walked around the center of the pavilion, and looked at the top of the pavilion, which was carved with a stone carving of a fairy flying into the sky. However, with the erosion of time, the top had already become unrecognizable.
The ground of the pavilion was covered with weeds. He came to the side and glanced at the artificial lake below. The lake was nearly one and a half meters deep. Jumping down from the pavilion was about three meters high. It is possible to commit suicide by throwing yourself into a lake.
Li Huaiyun looked at Mu Yuan who was deep in thought. He turned his head and looked to the other side, but saw a dead tree several meters thick standing there below. He felt something was wrong in his heart.
His eyes widened, but he found that there was a black aura surrounding the dead tree, which was somewhat similar to what he saw in the morning.
Is this an illusion? He muttered a few words in his heart, without fear, and then jumped directly from the pavilion and came to the dead tree.
