Feast of Rebirth

"Is he still saved?"

"There's a hole in the head, and one eye should be blind." Hu Yan handed the dying cat demon to the husband, "It's almost drowned in the slop bucket in a while. The cat demon's life is really hard, It’s okay to be alive.”

The little cat demon was found out by the human traffickers, so he picked up the cat demon and threw it into the slop bucket in the alley.

The husband was trembling and stroking the cat's fur, tears streaming down his face.

"Tell you to be disobedient, tell you to be stubborn with me..." Mr. Cried hard.

Yun Congfeng couldn't bear to look any longer, and turned to Hu Yan, "Can I track it down?"

"Yes." Hu Yan nodded, "Mayfly" was bright red, circling around Hu Yan excitedly.

When leaving, Yun Congfeng looked back.

"It's just a physical injury, it's not fatal, it's just disabled." Hu Yan said, "That person is completely extinguished without magic, and he is also soft-hearted."

Yun Congfeng didn't speak.

"Mayfly" swam very fast, took the two of them away from the imperial city, passed through the fields, and after crossing a series of small hills, what leaped into view was a magnificent palace surrounded by the Yudai River and backed by Yuying Mountain. The Royal Palace, Yuying Palace, the sound of silk and bamboo, curling up.

Hu Yan took "Mayfly" back temporarily, looked at Yun Congfeng: "What should I do?"

Yun Congfeng pursed his lips tightly.

"You mayfly, can I bring it in?"

"This is the secret technique of the fox clan. The mayfly has a short lifespan and needs to be fed with demon blood when resting. It cannot live in the human body. Besides, even if you can bring it in, it won't make it obedient."

"Is that so...." Yun Congfeng was thinking nervously, and Hu Yan said, "Why don't you just..."

"The palace is heavily guarded, don't mess around." Yun Congfeng covered Hu Yan's mouth, "Wait a minute, I'll find someone, he must have a solution."

That person was why he had to resign, besides him, Yun Congfeng couldn't think of anyone else who could help him in this regard.

He was familiar with He Mansion, went in and knew the way, went straight to the study, came to the door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Why do you say goodbye? It's me, Yun Congfeng."

"Here." Yun Congfeng pushed the door open and went in, and when he went in, he saw Bai Jiu sitting there, "Bai Jiu?"

"He complained." He Yi resigned.

"Me!" Bai Jiu just raised her head, she was stunned for a moment, and she was immediately discouraged: "Forget it, it's what you say it is."

"Why Ci, I'm solving a case and I need your help." Yun Congfeng walked in quickly: "I want to enter the Yuying Palace, see if there is any reason to help me in."

"Yuying Palace? I just came out the day before yesterday, and the emperor is there to cultivate his morals. What are you going in for?"

"I... have a suspect who seems to be from Yuying's Palace. I want to go in and confirm."

"The person who asked you to investigate is definitely not a human being. Be more careful, demon." He Zhici became interested, "What crime did you commit?"

"Trafficking."

"Ha, it's really interesting." He Yici rubbed his chin and thought, "The reason... Bai Jiu, what's your idea?"

Bai Jiu thought for a while: "I think your wife is more talkative, you let her go in to chat with the princess, and bring Brother Yun in by the way?"

"This...chatting, isn't brother Yun going to pretend to be a girl to go in?"

After a long silence, Yun Congfeng said: "It may not be that I want to go in, if it is my wife, he is a demon, can he be brought in?"

"That's even more difficult. You can't go this way." He Zhici shook his head, "Everyone who enters the palace from the main entrance has to be inspected, regardless of the royal family and nobles. The inspection of servants should be looser. Generally, only the goods are inspected."

"Then please help Brother He, when can it be done at the soonest?"

"Hurry up, in two days."

The "way" that He Cici found was the Huashi Gang presented to the emperor by local officials.It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to collect exotic flowers and plants from all over the world, and the exquisite stones are transported, especially some strange stones are so large and towering that they have to hire monsters much stronger than humans to push them.

"To move rocks?"

"Yes." Yun Congfeng observed Hu Yan's face, knowing that this was really embarrassing him: "If you don't want to, you can find another way."

"No, it's just moving a rock. I still have the strength."

Since he was going to be a coolie, he naturally couldn't dress cleanly. He did a full set of plays, so why did he make all the preparations and sent a set of coarse cardigan sweaters, which were covered with patches, and smelled strongly of mutton and sweat.Hu Yan put it on reluctantly, her eyebrows twisted into twists.

Yun Congfeng couldn't bear it, and had no other choice, so he comforted him clumsily and said, "Just this one time."

"Come again next time?" Hu Yan simply closed his sense of smell, so that there was nothing but rough skin.

"What are you talking about! It's really just this time."

"Trust me, I said it was fun."

Under the guidance of the Shutong of the He family, Hu Yan, who turned into a rough man, joined the team of Huashigang in Qingzhou. There is a chance to stuff Hu Yan into the team.

As long as you enter the palace, it will be easy.

Although it was not far from Yuying Palace, the huge boulder was too heavy, and the thick rope was stretched too tightly and deeply tightened into the flesh of the shoulders, and sweat soaked through the sweatshirt after a while.

After finally reaching the Yuying Palace, the boulder was dragged into the palace. For the convenience of dragging, water was poured on the ground to freeze it, and round logs were used. This time, people can easily push the boulder without a demon.

The demon got a precious chance to rest. Hu Yan took off the patched sweatshirt as an excuse to go to the latrine, put on the eunuch's sapphire official uniform, put on a gauze cap, and his eyebrows and eyes changed softly, swaggering past in front of the coolies.

Next was the Fenghua Hall of Yuying Palace, He Zhici arranged for people to meet him there, and no one dared to come up and search easily with him.

The eunuch who responded was a moderate official in Yuying Palace, and was supported by the He family.

Hu Yan released the "Mayfly", and moved his shoulders with a grin, watching how much it circled, and then flew to the south.

The two quickly followed.The palace curtain is deep, "Mayfly" can fly in a straight line, but humans can't. In order to catch up with "Mayfly", the two walked and ran, following closely all the way, until the Yincui Palace, the little eunuch grabbed him: "Here Concubine Xi lives here, so it is a bit troublesome to get in, so I have to go around in another way."

"Mayfly" has already entered, without the support of the demon blood, it can't survive for too long, success is in front of it, how can it give up lightly?Hu Yan looked around, just happened to be a group of court ladies came out of the palace talking and laughing, and the little eunuch dragged Hu Yan past as if nothing had happened.Hu Yan listened attentively, and learned that the maids were going to the storeroom to carry the newly allocated silks and satins from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the empress. He didn't know how much the master was willing to reward them, so he immediately moved his mind, plucked out a fox fur, and left it floating on the ground. On the hair of a court lady.

The maids received a piece of silk belonging to Concubine Xi, and came back in groups to present it to Concubine Xi for appreciation.This time some new varieties were sent from the local area, and the Royal Jinyifang designed new designs and colors, and unfolded them one by one for the imperial concubine to see.

When each piece of silk and satin was delivered, it was smoked with agarwood, and when it was shaken off, a light fragrance breeze wafted, and the fox fur on the head flower fluttered up, following the "mayfly" to the Empress of Yincui Palace.

The "mayfly" landed on a person in the garden. After staying for a while, it slowly melted into the wind.

However, fox fur took its place and re-"marked" it.

Concubine Xi is admiring in the front hall, stroking the silky silk and satin, and she concentrates on weeding and planting flowers in the back garden.

When the little eunuch brought Hu Yan into the Yincui Palace through the small gate, and turned around, Hu Yan came to the back garden with the smell of fox fur.

The demon straightened his back and arranged the flowers in the vase, very satisfied.

Hu Yan saw it clearly.

This should be the true face of the demon, its appearance can even be said to be "kind", and it doesn't seem like a bad person.

Just having looks is not enough.If I could get something from it, it would be a wisp of evil spirit... Hu Yan frowned.It had already turned around and stepped into the hall humming softly.

It doesn't have to be a monster, even a drop of blood, a strand of hair... Hu Yan pursed her lips, it was really difficult to get close, and it was too late now.The eunuch reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, the convoy is leaving the palace."

Go back and tell Yun Congfeng to think of a way... Hu Yan watched it disappear completely: "Okay, let's go back."

Yun Congfeng found a well-known capable person in the yamen, who was very good at drawing pictures, and had drawn thousands of portraits of criminals with his fine brush, and all of them were lifelike and full of charm.

The painter first asked about men and women, then asked about age, facial features, and hairstyle, and finally painted and corrected it. It took half a day to stand up the drawing paper: "Do you like it?"

Hu Yan took a closer look, and couldn't help but marvel that this person did have two brushes: "The face is a little longer, and it has a bit of a double chin."

The painter tinkered again, and this time it was exactly the same as the one he had seen before, even the expression in his eyes was as "kind" as when he first met.Hu Yan nodded: "Yes, that's it."

The painter stood up, frowned, and chatted with Yun Congfeng with a happy face. Yun Congfeng gave him the promised reward. The painter smiled and said: "It's a piece of cake, come to me next time if you have work to do." ah!"

The cloud rolls up the frame from the wind, thanks and leaves.

"what's next?"

"I'm going to ask He Yici to help me again." Yun Congfeng held the scroll under his arm, "Or... Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?"

"Princess?"

"However, why do we still have to make a match? Now that the crown princess has an honorable status, it may not be so easy to meet her."

The convenient thing is, why did he resign and go back to work.

No one would have thought that he would come back to work, not only Yun Congfeng, but Qing Pingsi and his group were all stunned.

"Why are you back again?" He Yici's desk was still in the original corner, next to the window, and outside the window was a stalk of orchid and sage.

"Otherwise I have nothing to do, it's boring."

"Then help me again."

"Where do you want to go this time?"

"I want to see the princess."

"You want to see her now... Well, it's inconvenient. Princesses are not allowed to see courtiers. This is the iron law in the palace. News can still be passed on. You don't have to meet in person to tell it?"

Yun Congfeng weighed it over and over again, and took out the picture scroll: "This is a palace servant under Concubine Xi... No, demon, I hope the Crown Princess can find a way to get its blood, or a lock of hair, whatever."

He Yici shook the picture scroll, looked at it carefully for a while, and smiled.

"It's totally fine, leave it to me."
