[Liao Zhai] White Tiger

This imperial edict was exactly the one left by Gao Zu to the prince, the second emperor of the Dalei Dynasty.

Gao Zu asked him to burn it after reading the secret edict, and to pass on the royal secret by word of mouth. Half of the imperial edict was fished out from the brazier.

He felt unsafe, and hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to hide the broken imperial edict in the secret room left by Gaozu. After all, this door can only be opened by the direct blood of the royal family, and it is the safest.

However, as time passed, he forgot about the broken edict after he told the secret to the next emperor before his death. This secret room, which was basically used to store Bai’s grandfather Mao Mao, was gradually forgotten by future emperors as time passed. Until many years later, Emperor Wuxuan discovered it by mistake.

Emperor Wuxuan had always been rigorous in his work, and when he discovered it, he turned it upside down by himself, and naturally found this broken edict.

The content of the edict is not complete, but there are still keywords such as Dajie, Tiangang Daozong, Guardian Beast and Baijia. Many places have been burned, but the general meaning can be guessed.

According to Emperor Wuxuan's understanding, it should be the head of the Tiangang Dao Sect, Song Yishi, who predicted that there would be a catastrophe in the Dalei Dynasty, and it would need the power of the guardian beasts to survive, and most of the guardian beasts were related to the Bai family. Combined with the various tiger fur products in Gaozu's collection room and the Bai family's habit of raising tigers, he speculated that the guardian animal might be mixed with the few tigers raised by the Bai family.

In addition, in the eyes of Emperor Wu Xuan, Bai Zhenshan and his two eldest sons were both reckless men who raised ordinary yellow tigers, but the youngest son behaved differently. Not long after returning to the imperial city, he easily defeated the three major medical clinics, and he kept a rare white tiger. Therefore, he guessed that the whereabouts of the guardian animal should start with Bai Jingyang.

Because of this, his attitude towards Bai Jingyang was extraordinarily kind. Apart from inquiring about the news of the guardian animal, he also intended to make amends for his behavior of driving their family to the northwest.

Emperor Wu Xuan unfolded the broken edict, and said: "According to the instructions above, the catastrophe should be in the past few years. You two have just arrived in the imperial city, so you may not have heard of it. There was a catastrophe in the city a few years ago." Heart demon, that thing not only eats people's hearts, but also likes to peel off the skins of beautiful women. Even noble princes and noble ladies dare to attack. Before the skin rots, they can successfully pretend to be the dead, but then they suddenly disappear. But I suspect that it may not have left, and now it has come to the palace."

Mu Qing's face was solemn: "Do you suspect that it is... Concubine Hu Gui?"

Emperor Wu Xuan admitted: "Yes, when Concubine Hu Gui was unknown when she first entered the palace, she kept her own place and didn't like to stand out, but during the time when the Heart Eater disappeared, she went uncharacteristically and suddenly changed her temperament and became flamboyant and vulgar. , I still don’t know what method I used to figure it out. With Jun Xu, now that I think about it, this kind of thing is not something that an ordinary boudoir girl can do, so it’s hard for me not to put her together with the Heart Eater and make an association.”

Emperor Wu Xuan's words are not unreasonable. If one guesses according to the idea that Concubine Hu Gui is a heart eater, it killed the real Concubine Hu Gui, disguised herself as the other party, and then used the means of demons to create an emperor. The children of the latter two, and then lied that they were born by themselves, so as to gain a higher status.

If these conjectures are true, then what is the ultimate goal of this mind eater?

"Could it be related to the catastrophe in the will?" Bai Jingyang guessed.

No matter what purpose the Heart Eater has, if it really infiltrates the palace and climbs to the top of power step by step, whether it is intentional or not, it may affect Dalei's Guozuo and gradually cause turmoil in the harem , and finally the world is in chaos.

Emperor Wu Xuan nodded: "I guessed this way, so I have been looking for Taoist priests and monks with strong magic power in private, but most of them are charlatans."

It's not that there are Taoist priests and eminent monks who can subdue demons and slay demons in the imperial city, but there is no one stronger than the heart eater. Otherwise, it would have been eliminated a few years ago for Tian Xingdao, so why tolerate it doing evil everywhere and killing people?

"Then why did you appoint Luo Yuan as the national teacher, Your Majesty?" Bai Jingyang thought suddenly.

Luo Yuan's Taoism is superficial, but relying on the few powerful talisman papers left by his father, he can call wind and rain, attract thunder and lightning, so he only looks at people to bluff. After a long time, with the IQ of Emperor Wuxuan, it is impossible not to see it. .

Emperor Wu Xuan frowned: "I originally wanted his senior brother Gu Yi to be the national teacher, but Gu Yiyi is still learning Taoism in Furong City, and the queen mother didn't know what kind of enchanting soup was given to her by Hu Guifei, so she took out the dragon dragon that her father left for her." The tattooed jade plaque forced me to agree."

The role of the dragon pattern jade tablet is equivalent to the iron coupon of the Danshu, so that after the death of the first emperor, his beloved little wife will not be annoyed by his son because of doing something wrong or saying something wrong. If you cut it off, you can live more freely and your status will be more noble.

Since Emperor Wuxuan ascended the throne, the only remaining empress dowager has kept a low profile and never interfered with him in the harem or in the court. Only a few days ago when he brought out the dragon-patterned jade card on the matter of the national teacher, he suppressed the faint feeling in his heart. Out of anger, he had no choice but to agree.

"So that's the case." Bai Jingyang lamented the depth of the water in the harem, so he didn't ask further questions.

After several people discussed in the secret room, Bai Jingyang and Xuan Qing left first, went to find the Bai family father and son, and left the palace together, while Mu Qing and Xiao Junxu followed Emperor Wu Xuan to his bedroom.

Mu Qing originally wanted to go back to his own Fengqing Palace, but Emperor Wu Xuan coaxed him to stay because of the crying little Junxu who couldn't change back into human form, and taught the little fox the art of transforming overnight.

After all, this matter can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime. If Xiao Junxu doesn't learn it as soon as possible, it will be revealed sooner or later.

But at the birthday banquet, first the little prince and Bai Jingyang were splashed with green plum wine and left to change their clothes, then Emperor Wuxuan slipped away halfway, and finally the big play on the stage was performed for most of the time. Returning to the palace to rest early, seeing that all the masters had left, the birthday banquet had to be hastily ended.

After Hu Guifei smiled and sent off the princes and nobles and civil and military officials at the scene, she immediately changed into a gloomy and angry face. She returned to her palace with a face full of anger, and she threw things while walking, and the vases and porcelain fell to the ground. .

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were too frightened to make a sound, they all shrank their necks like quails.

Concubine Hu Gui recalled tonight, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The birthday banquet was organized by herself after a few months of busy work, but in the end, everyone lost face to her.

It is obvious that she is playing the Queen's heart, doing the work that the Queen should do, but she can't enjoy the respect that the Queen should deserve, and she doesn't even give her a chair to sit on!The old lady of the queen mother just said it nicely, but she didn't take her seriously at all, and ordered her like a dog all day long!
