Although at this moment, he had already found out the truth from the prisoners he arrested last night, Ji Ran felt a little like being used by Wei Xingzhen as a gun.

The female official Fu Guang slowly walked down the stone steps outside the Taichu Palace, "Sir Ji, the emperor said you come forward to ask questions."

Ji Ran came to his senses, took two steps at a time, and followed the floating light to the hall without saying a word.

In the hall, the eldest princess, who was in her sixties, was crying with her sleeves. Ji Ran stepped forward and bowed to the emperor and to the eldest princess.

"Okay, stop crying, and in front of young people... they are going to laugh at you." Sun Youwei looked at her gray-haired daughter with a tone of coaxing the child.

The eldest princess looked over and said, "Is this one..."

"My minister Ji Ran is currently the young minister of Dali Temple and has met the eldest princess."

The eldest princess wiped her tears and said with a smile, "I can live one more day and take a look at my mother more, it is all the credit of Lord Ji..."

Sun You smiled, interrupted the eldest princess' words, and only urged her to go back and rest soon. The eldest princess was reluctant to leave and stood up to say goodbye.

After the eldest princess left, the hall returned to silence.

Sun Youwei looked at the direction of his daughter's departure and sighed in a low voice, "Among my children, the eldest princess is the most filial and kindest... Ji Ran, I don't know how to thank you."

"Your Majesty is so serious," Ji Ran lowered his eyes and said, "It is my honor to be able to share your worries!"

Sun Youwei withdrew her gaze and her expression gradually returned to her usual majesty.

"What happened to the incident between the Taiwei and the eldest princess for no reason?" Sun You said softly, "Tell me."

...

In the small building, Wu Ren was also talking to Feng Yan about everything that happened yesterday evening.

"What happened?" Feng Yan stopped the carving in her hand. She looked at Busheng, who was standing not far away, "Did you see clearly at that time?"

Bushi nodded. His voice was muffled, and it sounded like someone had pressed a wooden tub on his head.

"There are four of them in total. When we sneaked in with the adults, we saw them sitting around the cellar of a folk house in Chunhefang. There was no light in the cellar, so we didn't know what they were doing."

"What then?" Feng Yan asked.

"Then the adults asked me to go up and pick up all four of them," Bushi said while gesturing, "I'll pick up the people, and then we went to Dali Temple together-"

"Hey..." Ge Jin jumped off the table beside him and sat cross-legged on the ground, "Madam, let me tell you about this part."

Feng Yan laughed, "Okay."

"When we entered, we met the four people who used the forbidden technique, intending to control the nearby lord to walk to the dry well and swallow the wild spirits that were enough to kill people."

"Swallowing the wild spirits?" Feng Yan frowned slightly, "But 600,000 people are born in Luoyang City, and this bustling carrot... is not a place where wild spirits often appear."

"That wild spirit is not from the city, but is brought from the Daizong Mountain area, and is on the groundwater road." Qi Jin replied, "When we went down to the cellar, there was a square table in the cellar, and three blood-written horoscopes were laid in the middle of the table - two of these horoscopes were stacked on one side, namely the eldest princess and the wife of Taiwei Xue, Shao, and the other one belonged to the woman that Lord Ji captured last night."

"Shao Brothers?" Feng Yan was stunned again, "How could it be Shaw Brothers? The person who fell asleep was obviously Taiwei Xue..."

Going to the ground smile, he lowered his voice mysteriously, "Have you heard of 'Yizhitong'?"

Feng Yan shook her head.

"...It is also a kind of wild spirit puppet technique?"

"Yes!" Qi Jin snapped his fingers, "As long as you try to get someone's horoscope, hair and fingertips, you can use the 'one-line-tie' spell to instantly lead the spell seal to the most important person of this person-the most important person in the heart of the Madam Taiwei is the old Taiwei, so the one who was hit is naturally the Taiwei himself.

"But this situation is a minority. For most people, the most important person in the world is themselves - such as the eldest princess, so after she was hit by the 'one-straight', she fell asleep."

Feng Yan listened and thought carefully, and couldn't help but stand up and slowly paced around the room.

She remembered that when she was inexplicably sleeping last year, her father and mother had once suspected that she had fallen into the puppet technique. The Feng family invited the banned master to check in the inner house, but the courtyard was clean and there was no trace of the puppet technique left.

"The old lieutenant was in the inner court when he fell asleep," Feng Yan whispered, "There are no shortage of capable people in the palace. If he really got puppet skills, the inner court's ban on the anger... wouldn't be able to see it."

"Miss doesn't know that this is the cleverness of "First-Second Tight"," Qu Shen said with a smile, "First-Second Tight is different from ordinary puppet techniques. After being attacked, it will not leave any traces on your body.

"The first line is led by wild spirits. The initial erosion of forbidden art is only for a moment. Unless you are prepared in advance, it is difficult to detect it. If you cannot find the place where the initial ban art is used and destroy the formation of the scheming, the scheming master will not wake up on his own, and it looks no different from sleeping - this is also the reason why it is listed as a scheming."

"However, the wild spirit is spiritual after all. If you keep leaving it alone, the victim will only die in exhaustion."

Speaking of this, I paused, "Of course, there is another possibility."

"What?"

"It is like the woman from Chunhefang last night, the manipulator first lets the sleeping people go to a place of wild spirits, so that they can quickly get a puppet with abundant power, just like Nie Xiaojun who set fire near Mingtang before and after the summer solstice."

The expression on Qu Shen's face became serious, "After being immersed in the wild spirits, the victims will die slowly within three days, and in these three days, their bodies are all controlled by the manipulator who uses the "first-line" approach. If I was not wrong, Mrs. Shao and the eldest princess probably went to the Luoshui side on the night of the Lantern Festival - they were trapped by the evil man."

Feng Yan lowered her eyes slightly.

Her hair and fingertips are not rare if she is interested.

Although there are no servants in my yard, there are still servants who want to go into the house to pack up their things and take a few strands of hair from the comb. That is the simplest thing.

Let’s talk about the blood on her fingertips - her hands were mottled, on the one hand because of the calligrapher, and on the other hand because of carving.

Occasionally, she injured her hand, stopped the bleeding and bandaged herself, and the blood squid and bandage she replaced were also handed over to the servants to clean.

But there is one thing that her horoscope is extremely difficult to obtain.

Not only hers, but all the unmarried daughters of the Feng family were strictly guarded against their birth dates.

Except when he gets married, he will be handed over to the hexagram master to divine auspicious times, he never uses it at other times. Feng Yan still doesn’t know when he was born. She just guessed from the chat with her mother that it was late spring and early summer...

If I had been sleeping last year, it was because someone secretly used puppet techniques, even if the person had hair and blood at his fingertips, it would be useless - Feng Yan had enough confidence in her family's ability to keep secrets.

So, probably someone who regards her as more important than herself was caught in the "first-line" and then put her into a deep sleep...

Thinking of this, a figure suddenly floated across Feng Yan's mind.

Before she could think about it, she suddenly spoke.

"In other words, this 'important' has two meanings."

"Oh?" Feng Yan looked at Shi, "What do you say?"

"It is a situation like Mrs. Shao who loves her husband so deeply that she regards her husband as more important than herself." Qu Shen replied, "The other situation is a strong hatred - hatred so much that as long as she can revenge, she will be willing to sacrifice her life, and this is also an "important person" on another level."

Feng Yan lowered her eyes, and the past events emerged in her mind again—
