Chapter 82 The Tao is boundless and can only help those who are destined

Since the Queen Mother said that she would let Shen Lingxi find Xuetuan's body, it meant that she had already realized that Xuetuan had passed away.

Shen Lingxi entered the palace this time just to fulfill Xuetuan's request, so she naturally agreed.

She took advantage of her break to go back to Fu'an Hall to prepare some things.

She also met Mu Huaian who came to look for her.

"The woman who threw the body into Prince An's Mansion should be the maidservant beside Princess Pingyang. Only they have such skills. There is only a wall between Princess Pingyang's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion, which makes it easy to escape and hide. No wonder the feathers brought by Eunuch Liu at that time Lin Wei searched the entire Prince An's Mansion but couldn't find anyone."

Shen Lingxi really admired Dali Temple's ability to handle cases, which was actually almost the same as the information she got from King An.

"Since it was found out that she was the eldest princess's maid, has she been caught?" she asked curiously.

Mu Huaian shook his head, with a rare look of distress on his face, "We haven't found the first scene of Yuzhu's murder, so there is no evidence to prove that it was the martial maids. Those martial maids were given by the late emperor after the eldest princess fell into the water. The soldier who died for the eldest princess is only loyal to the eldest princess and will be kept in the eldest princess’s mansion all day long.”

"If you rashly go to the eldest princess's house to arrest someone, not only will you alert the snake, but with the emperor's favor towards the eldest princess, all the affairs in Dali Temple may be at risk. What's more, I am the queen's nephew, so there is no guarantee that someone will not take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it. The matter involves the Queen..."

Shen Lingxi thought for a while and handed the portrait that he had painted to Prince An to Mu Huaian.

"This is the aunt in charge who was sent by Yutan Palace to identify the body after Yuzhu's body was repaired that day. I saw that the aunt in charge seemed to be very sad about Yuzhu's death, and she cried alone in the room for a long time. She should He has a good personal relationship with Yuzhu, Shaoqing might as well have a chat with this person, maybe we can find some clues."

Mu Huaian took the portrait and recognized it at a glance, "This is Princess Pingyang."

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Since the person who dumped the body is her maid, why did she come to you to cry?"

Shen Lingxi didn't know, she knew nothing about the eldest princess.

Ever since King An said he was going to look for Yuzhu in the eldest princess's mansion, he disappeared and never appeared again.

Shen Lingxi couldn't help but start to wonder if the eldest princess's mansion had some incredible magic weapon that could trap the souls of the dead.

But since she was able to see the souls of the dead after her rebirth, except for the evil spirit around Chu Yan, which could violently bounce the souls away, she had never seen anything that could restrain the souls of the dead.

Therefore, it is very possible that King An discovered something, which is why he has not come back for so long.

All Shen Lingxi can do now is wait.

At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Princess Pingyang will definitely appear, and Yuzhu and Prince An will definitely follow her into the palace.

Ask them again then, and all the mysteries will be solved.

Shen Lingxi: "If Shaoqing can't figure it out, it's better to find the first scene of Yuzhu's murder as soon as possible. Maybe we can find new evidence."

Mu Huaian cleared his throat, his face slightly uncomfortable, "This is also the purpose of why I came to you today."

"Me?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously, "What can I help you with?"

"Don't you know how to... set up an altar to perform rituals?" Mu Huaian quickly stated his request, "Why don't you go to Prince An's Mansion to perform rituals and help me find the first scene of Yuzhu's murder?"

Shen Lingxi:???

If Mu Huaian's eyes weren't filled with expectation, Shen Lingxi might have thought that he was deliberately entertaining her with his words.

The sun was really rising in the west, and Mu Huaian started to believe in ghosts and gods.

It seems that he was eager to solve the case and sought medical treatment in a hurry...

Shen Lingxi has not forgotten how he laughed at her for "pretending to be a ghost".

"As the saying goes, 'The Tao is boundless, it can only help those who are destined'." Shen Lingxi suppressed laughter and pretended to be serious: "Earlier, Shaoqing said too many disrespectful words to ghosts and gods in front of me. Now even if I want to help you, There is nothing you can do. If Shaoqing is really helpless, why not..."

"Why not?" Mu Huaian asked sincerely, listening attentively.

Shen Lingxi curled up her lips: "Why don't you go read more, or get a good night's sleep, maybe you can clear up the spiritual platform, be happy, and maybe you can solve the case."

Mu Huaian:......

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, according to the wishes of the Queen Mother, Shen Lingxi got up early and was planning to set up an altar to "perform the ritual" in Shoukang Palace.

However, Gui's mother brought a bunch of maids in and placed them in front of the dressing table to help her dress up.

"The Empress Dowager said that today's palace banquet, the female relatives of all the palaces in the capital will be invited to the palace. This kind of occasion, the girl will attend no matter what. She has been in good health these days, and she also promised the Queen Mother to attend. The girl is now our Shoukang Palace The female officer Fengyi should be at the Queen Mother's side."

Shen Lingxi: "But I still have to find Xuetuan..."

Before she could finish her words, Gui's mother cut off her words with a smile, "The empress said that it won't be too late to find her after she has attended the palace banquet."

After hearing this, Shen Lingxi had no choice but to give up and let them smear her face. They even changed her clothes one after another and pushed her to the main hall to show her to the Queen Mother.

"This one is too plain..."

"This one is also ordinary..."

"It's too gorgeous and inappropriate."

"You can't wear red, the girl is still in her filial piety period."

"... It's better to wear the first one. Go change into a dress. Bring her the lotus hairpin from this year's Haizhou Tribute and tie it into her hair..."

By the time the Queen Mother was satisfied, Shen Lingxi was too tired to speak.

She never expected that after Xiumu came back, the Queen Mother would completely change her attitude in front of her, changing her previous stern attitude.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

The Queen Mother smiled proudly and said: "Girl at this age and with such appearance, she should dress like this. Let those girls who love to show off at banquets see what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Aijia I guess there are a lot of young men tonight, I’m afraid they’ll lose their souls!”

With this look, he looked exactly like another Aweng.

After more than two months, Shen Lingxi once again felt the fear he felt when Aweng was forced to go on a blind date by his old man when he was still alive...

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was held next to Taiye Pool. Since the Queen Mother was in good health and agreed to attend, the Queen made the banquet very lively.

As soon as the sky darkened, palace lanterns were lit everywhere in the palace.

The sound of banquet music mixed with the aroma of wine and meat spread throughout the palace, creating a scene of peaceful singing and dancing and a prosperous festival.

In the capital, officials of third rank and above and their family members were all invited to attend.

In the originally empty and solemn palace, you can see men, women and children in luxurious and well-groomed clothes everywhere, and their faces are all filled with joy.

Naturally, among them are Xuanping Hou Shen Ji and his wife, who were personally invited to the palace by the empress, and Shen Yuyao, the second young lady of the Mu family who was newly married into the Chengen Palace.

As the most noble woman in the entire Zhou Dynasty, the Queen Mother naturally made her final appearance.

She held the round fan that Shen Lingxi made for her in one hand, and supported Shen Lingxi's arm in the other, saying to her: "Don't be afraid, just follow Aijia and let your bastard father take a good look at how thin he is." What a wonderful daughter I have given..."
