The emperor's complexion became even worse when he heard that. As an emperor, he has been in this palace all his life. This is his own palace, but he didn't even know when Shaohua Palace had such a sophisticated secret channel.
He looked at the queen mother and said, "As the queen mother said, I don't know when this Hall of Shaohua has a hidden weapon? The blueprint of the secret path of organs passed down to me by the Taizu does not include this Hall of Shaohua."
The Empress Dowager didn't know when she saw the emperor. This was a challenge to the majesty of the royal family, and her face turned cold.
The imperial palace can be said to be the most noble place in the Southern Qi Dynasty. It is the residence of the emperor, hundreds of civil and military officials, and the place where thousands of people worship and worship. It can be said to be the most impenetrable place in the world. But even the Emperor and the Queen Mother didn't even know when such an exquisite mechanism came into existence. This really discredited the royal majesty.
For a while, no one dared to show their air, and the atmosphere in the Shaohua Hall was cold.
After Ye Chang checked the dead body on the ground in the clothes of the palace guards, he asked He Zhi, "Where did you catch him?"
He knew, "At the gate of Shaohua Hall, when he shot Miss Su coldly, unfortunately when I came to him, he had already committed suicide by taking poison."
Ye Chang said with a cold face, "Bring him back to Rong'an Palace, and find out the identities of his ancestors for eight generations."
He Zhi nodded, and led the man there.
The emperor had no objection. Seeing Ye Chang's gloomy face, today's incident not only challenged the majesty of the royal family, but also made it even more difficult for Ye Chang to accept. After all, Su Fengnuan and Xu Yunchu disappeared together. If it is true as Xu Lingyi said, If Xu Yunchu was poisoned by Luanxinsan and Yanzhixue, and what happened to Su Fengnuan, then Ye Chang would probably go crazy.
He looked at Ye Chang and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Xiao Guo and Su Yatou must be rescued as soon as possible, what can you do now?"
Ye Chang heard the words, looked at one place, and said, "The second prince was born in the Lin family, a family of hidden weapons. The secret road in Shaohua Palace should not be difficult for your second prince."
Hearing this, the emperor immediately looked at Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao was standing not far away, and his face was also very ugly. He looked at him and said in a deep voice, "By the way, I forgot. Waiting for things, it’s best for you to stay here. Quickly find out the secret path of the agency and rescue Uncle Xiaoguo and Su Yatou.”
Lin Zhixiao glanced at Ye Chang, cupped his hands to the emperor, and said, "When Ye Shizi pressed Miss Xu just now, I had already checked the Shaohua Palace. I didn't find any news or mechanism. If I can judge If it’s true, the switch that Uncle Xiao Guo and Ms. Su got into should not be in this Shaohua Palace, but must be somewhere else, controlled by someone from a distance.”
The emperor frowned upon hearing this, "Are you sure?"
Lin Zhixiao nodded, "I grew up in the Lin family. Although I'm not proficient in the secret weapon system, I've learned something. I'm sure there is no news switch here."
The queen mother looked at Lin Zhixiao and said, "Except for you, no one here knows the way of the agency. Are you sure the second prince has nothing to hide? After all, the Ai family and the emperor don't know much about you."
Lin Zhixiao said with a calm face when he heard the words, "The queen mother is right in questioning, the art of mechanism, in the whole world, the Lin family recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first. I happened to be at this palace banquet today, and such a thing happened. It's really easy to be suspected." After a pause, he said, "But Queen Mother, you forgot, I like Miss Su, even if she doesn't like me, I definitely don't want her to have a good relationship with Uncle Xiaoguo."
The Queen Mother stopped talking.
The emperor was speechless for a moment.
Madam Su stepped forward at this moment, looked at Lin Zhixiao, and said anxiously to him, "Second prince, since the hidden weapon of the agency is not here, where is it? Go and check."
Lin Zhixiao pursed his lips, and said to Mrs. Su, "In such a huge palace, organs may be buried anywhere. If you want to find out, I'm afraid it will not be possible in a short while."
Mrs. Su's face changed when she heard the words, and she looked at Ye Chang, "Xiao Chang, what should I do? If it's Nuan'er...she's not in good health..."
Ye Chang said with a sullen face, "Don't worry, Auntie, even if she dies, she will not do anything to Uncle Xiaoguo." Then he said, "Even if I dig three feet, I will find her. If something happens to her, I will accompany her." Just die with her."
Madam Su suddenly lost her voice.
Everyone looked at Ye Chang. He was so angry that he almost went crazy and almost killed Xu Lingyi. At this moment, he calmed down abnormally.
The emperor looked at Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao, and said to them, "I will give you two the blueprints of the secret roads of the Taizu when the palace was built, and you two should find Su Yatou as soon as possible!"
The queen mother was shocked when she heard the words, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this... since ancient times, apart from handing down the secret road drawings to the emperors of all dynasties, it is the same as the jade seal and the enthronement imperial decree.
When the emperor heard this, his face was ugly and he said, "Mother, in the drawings handed down by the Taizu, there is no secret way of the Shaohua Palace. Now in the palace of our daily life, there is such a news agency suddenly. Is the blueprint of the mechanism secret road left by Zu still useful? After this incident, can it still be kept?"
The Queen Mother immediately stopped talking.
Ye Chang had no objection, and neither did Lin Zhixiao.
The emperor looked at the people in the Hall of Shaohua and said in a deep voice, "This matter is very important. Close the palace gates tightly. Those who enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet today are not allowed to go out. Later, I will take the blueprints of the secret roads handed down by the Taizu. Afterwards, I will come back to watch the new year in this Hall of Shaohua with all my lovers."
"Long live my emperor!" Everyone immediately bowed to the ground.
The Empress Dowager thought that this Shaohua Palace could not stay anymore, it was really dangerous, she unexpectedly released a hidden weapon out of thin air, and involved two living people, if something else happened, would it be okay? She said, "Your Majesty, why don't you move to another place? This Hall of Shaohua is really..."
The emperor shook his head, "It's here in Shaohua Palace! I have to wait and see, there is a secret way in Shaohua Palace, what's going on!"
Seeing that the emperor was resolute, the queen mother kept her mouth shut. She was also really worried about Xu Yunchu in her private heart. Although Xu Lingyi said that he did such things to make him achieve good things, who knows if there will be bigger ones under the secret channel of the agency? Danger? The Xu family now has only one heir like Xu Yunchu, a single heir, who is the hope of the Guozhang's mansion, her and the queen's future stability and prosperity.
So, she also said cruelly, "Okay, since the emperor said so, the Ai family will wait here with you tonight."
The queen also said, "I am also waiting!"
The emperor nodded to the two, turned around and walked out, filial to Ye Chang and Lin Zhi, "You two come with me."
Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao followed the emperor out of Shaohua Palace.
The Imperial Study Room is heavily guarded day and night, and it is regarded as the safest place in the palace. After the emperor came to the imperial study, he took out the blueprint of the secret path of the mechanism handed down from the Taizu from the hidden compartment, and handed it to the two.
Lin Zhixiao didn't go up to pick him up.
Ye Chang took a look at Lin Zhixiao, casually took the blueprint of the mechanism secret passage, and said calmly to Lin Zhixiao, "Second prince, you and I should study this blueprint carefully first. The mechanism cannot come out of thin air. It is obviously impossible to build such a huge project quietly in the palace. It must be based on the secret passage of the original mechanism, and this mechanism was built on the basis of it."
Lin Zhixiao nodded, and said, "That's right, any movement in the palace will alarm the people in the palace, especially the heavy guards in the palace. Even the emperor didn't know when the Shaohua Palace had a mechanism, which means that it is because of the original mechanism Relying on the secret path." After finishing the sentence, he said, "In other words, the blueprint of the secret path of the emperor's mechanism may have been leaked, or it may have been thoroughly studied."
The emperor's face was gloomy, "My palace is not safe anymore, where is the pure land and safe place in Southern Qi?"
Ye Chang said, "Find someone first, and after finding someone, I will definitely not spare the person behind today's incident."
The emperor waved his hands to the two, "You go! The imperial guards in the palace are fully under your command."
Ye Chang nodded, glanced at Lin Zhixiao, and left the imperial study room with the blueprint of the secret passage.
Lin Zhixiao walked out with Ye Chang.
After the two left, the emperor rubbed his brows, left the Imperial Study Room, and returned to the Shaohua Palace.
After Ye Chang and Lin Zhixiao came out of the imperial study, they chose a place where the palace lights were brightly lit. Ye Chang sat down and looked at Lin Zhixiao, "The second prince thinks that whoever has the ability to rely on the original secret way of the agency, Based on it, this institution was built in the Hall of Shaohua?"
Lin Zhixiao looked at Ye Chang and raised his eyebrows, "Is Ye Shizi suspicious of me?"
Ye Chang's face was stern, "If you doubted you, you wouldn't discuss this with me here now."
Lin Zhixiao said, "The organ skills of the Lin family are unrivaled in the world. Only the Lin family can understand and transform the organs built by the ancestors of the Lin family."
Ye Chang nodded, "That's it, so who in the Lin family is so proficient and talented in organ techniques?"
Lin Zhixiao said, "Patriarch Lin is very proficient in the way of organs if he can become the head of the family. There is no one in the previous generation except him. Among the rising stars, it is me and Lin Lianlian. Except for me, the rest Not proficient anymore."
Ye Chang nodded, "Then who do you think is the most likely among the three of you?"
Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "It's impossible. Although the Lin family has status in Jianghu, they don't have status in the capital, especially in the imperial palace. It is a great honor to be able to enter the palace once. Lin Lianlian, Ye Shizi and I feel At such a young age, can you quietly build this mechanism secret passage in the palace?"
Ye Chang said, "That's it. Apart from the three of you, in the Lin family, who else can reach out to the palace and also be proficient in organ skills?"
Lin Zhixiao suddenly thought of something, his complexion changed strangely, and then he pursed the corners of his mouth.
Ye Chang looked at him, and suddenly smiled coolly, "Have you thought about it?" After saying that, he spread out the drawing and said, "Concubine Yue and the Lin family have a very deep relationship, and the Lin family and Concubine Yue have changed their children and raised them. It can be concluded that it is not uncommon to learn the art of concealed weapons of the Lin family. What's more, she has been favored by the emperor for many years. With her martial arts, she wants to go to the heavily guarded imperial study room to peep and copy the secret road drawings handed down by her ancestors. It's not impossible, she has been in the palace for many years, and it is not difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears and reform the secret channels of institutions."
