Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 44

Qin Changge paced slowly, and said: "Just now I looked at Xialuyin—it's nothing else, the great man in Longxi, An Feiqing, left the city the next day after the incident, have you checked?"

"I checked, he had been lingering in Yingdu before, and he left the city because his mother reported that he was seriously ill. He rushed back to Yingdu to buy a batch of medicinal materials produced by Dongyan, and his mother was really sick. , we checked quietly."

"What's the disease?"

"Bloating."

"What medicine did you buy?"

"Rainbow seed, woody fragrance, betel nut, aurantium husk, green bark, licorice, Polygonum multiflorum, Podophyllum scutum, this prescription is no problem."

"You are very fine, and you have a good memory." After thinking for a while, Qin Changge smiled, "It's a pity that being too fine is not good, it is easy to distract attention and go in the wrong direction-these medicines are fine, but you don't feel , Is it strange to buy these very common medicines from Yingdu all the way? Could it be that there are no herbs in Longxi and wait for his medicine to cure them? Yes, there is no Polygonum multiflorum, which is a specialty of Dongyan, in Longxi, but Polygonum multiflorum is this In the prescription, the most dispensable thing."

Qi Fan was stunned, and murmured: "He Shou Wu detoxifies and eliminates carbuncles, moistens the intestines and laxes the bowels. It is most suitable for scrofula and carbuncles, dryness of the intestines and poor kidney qi."

"It's okay, but it's very problematic when combined with the previous medicines. In fact, as long as the first few herbs are decocted, they will have miraculous effects. Since this prescription is prescribed, it means that you are an expert. Experts will not add astringent medicine He Shou Wu, who added it? Of course, it was An Feiqing himself who wanted to cover up the excuse of "sending medicine home" to make it more reasonable-after all, no one would believe that people sent licorice back all the way. "

"Go and check him," Qin Changge pushed Lu Yin, "it's him."

Qi Fan took it, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Miss Ming has such a powerful vision."

Qin Changge smiled and said, "Actually, I took a chance—look at this pill."

She took out the poison from the assassin's mouth earlier, broke it open and smelled it, and said, "I smell the familiar herbal smell in this pill. Fengqianhua and Gansui are all medicines born in Longxi, so That's why I paid special attention to An Feiqing."

"That assassin, Zhiyan must be investigating too," Qin Changge smiled, "I left the pills without giving Suxuan to see their abilities. If Suxuan can't find a clue, then the ally Zhiyan Don’t worry, it’ll get in the way instead.”

Undoubtedly, Suxuan came to the south in a big way to become an imperial merchant to avenge his benefactor. Although he couldn't remember what kind of favor he had done to him, Suxuan finally understood what he was thinking. The truth may not be useful if there are too many people, especially the blazing tree with its obvious target. If you really want to get entangled, you may be tied up everywhere, and the Phoenix League will be implicated and exposed. Qin Changge has always been cautious. Before the strength she used, she didn't care what other people wanted, she would rather decline the good intentions.

"Okay, let's do what needs to be done first. There are so many clues, and there will always be a thread." Qin Changge knocked on the table and said, "It's time to explain Chu Feihuan's matter clearly."

Speaking of Chu Feihuan, Rong Xiaotian immediately turned angry, and said heavily: "A dead person is also a traitor, why bother to ask!"

"Xiaotian!" Qi Fan sipped, Rong Xiaotian rolled his eyes, knowing that his tone was not good, so he closed his mouth resentfully.

Qin Changge was not angry, but said softly and firmly: "I heard from the previous empress that although Chu Feihuan was indifferent and reticent and arrogant, he was by no means a treacherous villain. When the empress died, he would betray him. It's really suspicious."

"Miss Ming," Qi Fan said with a frown, "Chu Feihuan is one of the three masters of our Phoenix Alliance. Although he is not very close to me, he is still a brother. If there is no conclusive evidence pointing to him, how can we lay down on him?" Killer? The so-called seeing is believing, what we have seen with our own eyes must not be false."

Is seeing is believing?Qin Changge smiled, you haven't seen the video editing technology of later generations, even ghosts can be faked, let alone human beings.

"So, what did you see?"

Qi Fan looked at Rong Xiaotian and said, "Xiaotian is the one who knows the most, so you should speak first."

With a dark face, Rong Xiaotian said, "It all starts with what happened to the queen that night..."

Three years ago, a fire broke out in Changle Palace, which alarmed the three heroes of the Phoenix League stationed in the coffin shop on Tianqu Street outside the palace city.

In fact, the three of them had noticed it before the fire was lit, because for some reason Chu Feihuan jumped up suddenly after sleeping until midnight, and shot out from the house like flying lightning. Then he rushed to Miyagi.

When Qi Fan and Rong Xiaotian chased him out, they saw his back disappearing at the end of the long street.

Qi Fan and Rong Xiaotian knew a little about Chu Feihuan's mysterious ability, they looked at each other and immediately chased him out.

When they mixed into Miyagi according to the secret route reserved by the empress, Changle Palace had just caught fire.

The fire in Changle Palace caused all the guards in the palace to rush there, and the shadows of the fire were chaotic. It was Chu Feihuan's mysterious premonition that made them take the first step to reach Changle Palace before the guards arrived.

At that time, there was no sound of shouting or struggling in the palace, it was eerily quiet, only the crackling sound of fire tongues burning wood, when Qi Fan rushed into the palace, he was almost tripped by something under him, only to find it was a corpse by the light of the fire. Throat piercing, clean and neat, already dead.

And the entire Changle Palace, from the palace gate to the inner courtyard, is full of dead bodies.

Qi Fan's heart sank to the bottom at that time, but he still didn't want to believe that something happened to the queen.

That's not an ordinary person, that's a generation of strange people who are vying for the throne in the bloody wind and bloody wind. He is the founder of the country who is born with extraordinary wisdom and shoulders the burden of the world. , how could he die so easily?
And Rong Xiaotian, without looking at the corpses, has already rushed in.

The moment he stepped into the gate of the palace, the flickering flames and steaming heat made everything look distorted, illusory and blurred, and the billowing black smoke made his eyes water with tears. In the field of vision where it was difficult to identify things, he vaguely seemed to see Chu Feihuan's body. His hand brushed over an object on the ground, as if he had received something in his arms.

The curtains are slowly shrunk under the heat, and the butterflies embroidered with flowers are flying out of strange arcs. Chengchen will collapse and the walls will be scorched black. In the midst of destruction and tilt, he can't see clearly, only vaguely recognized The identity of the female corpse underground.

"Queen!"

He rushed over, and Chu Feihuan stood up, looking around in a trance like a wandering soul, and suddenly rushed to a corner of a wall that was not damaged at all, and picked up the one-year-old baby.

When Qi Fan rushed in, what he saw was Rong Xiaotian who was furious, and Chu Feihuan who was holding Xiao Rong in his arms and staring blankly at Qin Changge's corpse on the ground.

Rong Xiaotian's face was full of ferocity, his face was blood red, but Chu Feihuan's face was dismal and unhuman, and he remained silent like a wooden sculpture.

When Qi Fan saw the bloody female corpse on the ground, he only heard a bang in his mind, and his eyes went dark.

However, he immediately forced himself to wake up, glanced at Xiao Rong, and immediately understood the master's dying plan: No matter what, save Xiao Rong!

Enduring his grief, he dragged Rong Xiaotian to cut up and drag the corpse, and faked the scene where the prince was burned to death, during which Chu Feihuan remained silent.

The flames cast a deathly gloomy look on his beautiful face, as if sinking into an abyss from which he would never get out.

When everything was over and the guards were about to arrive, Qi Fan pulled him away, and when he was about to leave the palace, Chu Feihuan suddenly stuffed Xiao Rong into his arms and said, "Go first, I'll be right back. "

At that time, time was running out, Qi Fan was full of questions and didn't have time to ask, so he had to go out of the palace with Rong Xiaotian first, and waited anxiously for a long time, until night, when Chu Feihuan came back with a tired face.

Rong Xiaotian immediately asked him what he did, but Chu Feihuan ignored him, and said in a hurry, "It has nothing to do with you."

He has always been withdrawn and indifferent, everyone knows it, but at this moment Rong Xiaotian recalled the actions he saw in the palace earlier, and suddenly became suspicious.

He told Qi Fan about his doubts, but Qi Fan didn't believe it on the surface, and only advised him to calm down, brothers and sisters, to raise the little master well, and avenge the queen in the future.

Rong Xiaotian was appeased, but Qi Fan was not as careless as he appeared on the surface. That night, he stood guard outside Chu Feihuan's residence early in the night. As it was late at night, Chu Feihuan came out of the house and ran out of the city. He wanted to chase after him, but he knew that with his lightness, he absolutely couldn't chase Chu Feihuan without being discovered by him, so he decided not to chase him, and sneaked into Chu Feihuan's room to search for it. A letter was found.

The letter said: "At the end of February, the rainbow falls from the sky, and the rooster wakes up in the morning. The way of heaven does not allow it. Please pray for your permission. Fu Weizhen's photo is too much to pray for."

Qi Fan stared at the 32 characters, even his fingers were trembling.

The rooster sitting in the morning must be an allusion to the empress's monopoly. It is the day when the accident happened, and the sky is falling with a rainbow. What is it if it is not a fire in Changle Palace?
Chu Feihuan, hello, good--
In the dark night, Qi Fan's eyes flickered and changed unspeakably, but he carefully folded the letter and put it back in its original place.

Watching Chu Feihuan come back in the dark, sweating profusely and pale, Qi Fan remained calm and went back to sleep.

The next day, I told Rong Xiaotian about this, and Rong Xiaotian immediately jumped up, angrily said: "This kid was just a homeless man, but the master took him in with kind eyes and kindness, and he turned out to be a poisonous snake and retaliated for his kindness!" He wanted to rush out to find Chu Feihuan, but was held back by Qi Fan.

Facing Rong Xiaotian's angry gaze, Qi Fan also felt sad and powerless, and said: "You go to him now, you are not his opponent, besides, it is too frivolous to convict someone with just that piece of letter paper, The empress loved and respected him very much during her lifetime, and she knows that, she definitely doesn't want us to deal with it hastily, let's take a look."

Restraining Rong Xiaotian, Qi Fan immediately recruited a group of masters from the Phoenix Alliance. He is a person who is not afraid to think of the bad in everything, and he is more cautious about Chu Feihuan.

That night, Chu Feihuan went out again.

Everyone followed from a distance, and this time they saw him running towards the palace gate.
