"The wind is blowing..." Inside the Qinzheng Palace, the empress dowager suddenly sighed with an ambiguous tone.
Mixed in the sound of the wind was the clear and melodious swaying sound of bells. These were the bells hanging under the eaves. Occasionally, a palace would hang one or two, but today the sound of the bells seemed particularly heavy, layered, high and low, as if quite a few bells were making a symphony in the wind.
At first, Shen Xihe didn't take it seriously. She didn't know why she became more and more irritated the more she listened. She looked at the queen mother who was fiddling with the tea bowl, and her eyes were filled with a solemnity that she couldn't understand: "Moyu, order someone to shoot the bell down."
When giving the order, Shen Xihe stared at the Queen Mother closely. As expected, she saw the Queen Mother's fingertips stagnate. The ominous premonition became stronger. She immediately asked coldly: "Who did you cast the spell on!"
Ever since she knew that there was someone who could use the soul-stealing technique beside Xiao Changyan, Shen Xihe began to gradually collect every bit of information about the technique. Although she didn't master it thoroughly in this year, she had a deep understanding of it. She knew that the soul-stealing technique was a magical technique that could control people's thinking and bewitch people, making them like puppets after being hit by it.
A person who has been under the spell is unconscious unless under a specific secret command. Once he is touched by the secret command, he will be like a ghost possessed, forgetting everything, and the only thing left in his mind is the command implanted in his bone marrow!
"You are so smart, why not make a guess." The Queen Mother looked at Shen Xihe leisurely.
Mo Yu and others flashed out of the Qinzheng Hall and aimed at the bronze bell shaking under the eaves of the Qinzheng Hall. The bronze bell was about the size of an adult boy's fist, swaying in the wind, making a crisp tinkling sound.
Mo Yu ordered his men to shoot at the bell, but the arrow was intercepted halfway by an arrow shot from somewhere unknown. The opponent's archery skills were so accurate that Mo Yu and the others were so frightened that they became highly defensive.
Shoot again, and be blocked again.
Mo Yu personally flew up along the corridor column, trying to get close to the eaves and cut it down. Before she got close, an arrow shot at her. She quickly dodged it and chopped off the arrow with a backhanded sword. Just as she got up and took a few steps towards the bell, another arrow shot at her as fast as a meteor.
"Your Highness, there is more than one person." Tian Yuan stared at the direction of the arrows from all directions and found that it was not just one person, and they were very far apart.
Despite Mo Yu's skills, he couldn't get close to the bell for a while, especially when three parties suddenly shot arrows at Mo Yu at the same time. Shen Xihe's heart tightened and Mo Yu rolled down from the eaves, but fortunately he was not hit by the arrows.
She suddenly looked at the calm queen mother and said, "It's Prince Xin."
The Queen Mother was startled for a moment, and then her eyes were filled with admiration again. She didn't expect Shen Xihe to guess it right at once.
The soul-stealing technique is most likely to work on those with weak wills and fragile minds. The empress dowager had failed with the young boy Xiao Huayong, and after that she was extremely careful and cautious when taking action. Under normal circumstances, the empress dowager would never take the risk on someone like Xiao Changqing.
But if Xiao Changqing was in a state of confusion and mental instability, it would be too easy to succeed.
Half a year ago, such an opportunity happened.
After Shen Xihe's prediction came true, he became even calmer. Among Xiao Changqing's group, it was obvious that Xiao Changqing was the main person. Shen Xihe was unwilling to believe that he would be tricked, but apart from Xiao Changqing, no one could make the Queen Mother so fearless!
