The files about Nanfeng in the Internal Affairs Provincial Archives were very detailed. Zhao Xun looked at them one by one, connecting the broken clues into threads and connecting them into a network, and everything became very clear.
The love affair between Nanfeng and Princess Xuanhuai looks like a bloody romance idol drama.
No wonder this man from the Western Regions was able to stand out from all the male favorites of Princess Xuanhuai, and finally favored Princess Xuanhuai alone and had a child with her.
If this guy didn't die, where did he end up hiding?
This is what Zhao Xun wants to know most right now, but unfortunately it is not recorded in the file.
It was almost noon, and Zhao Xun was preparing to have lunch.
The food was delivered to the government office in batches by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Zhao Xun took a portion at will and sat down in front of the official case to start enjoying it.
To be honest, he had been going in and out with Wangcai and Jia Xingwen for these days, eating together and walking together. Suddenly he was investigating the case all by himself, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But he knew that there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this was Zheng Jie's territory. This guy had already made the greatest concessions and compromises. It was unrealistic to expect him to give in any more.
While Zhao Xun was eating, he was thinking about how the information he had just obtained was related to the case.
Obviously, the appearance of Nanfeng changed Princess Xuanhuai to a great extent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are in true love.
If Princess Xuanhuai's previous indulgence was just to satisfy her desires and take revenge on her consort Wei Yunli and the empress, she and Nanfeng should have really fallen in love.
This reminded Zhao Xun of a very famous monk in history - Bian Ji.
This guy is also a well-known person, and he has a green grassland above Fang Yi's head.
He and Nanfeng have too much in common, the difference is that Nanfeng survived.
According to Zhao Xun's inference, if Princess Xuanhuai knew that Nanfeng was not dead, she would definitely not be willing to live a pure and stoic life in a Taoist temple all day long.
But the empress has issued an imperial edict, so you have no words to say.
Therefore, if Princess Xuanhuai wanted to change her destiny, she had no choice but to die.
From this point of view, the possibility that Princess Xuanhuai faked her death is indeed very high.
As long as she deceives the empress, she can change her appearance and be with Nanfeng again.
But how did Princess Xuanhuai deceive the empress?
You must know that the burial of a princess is a very important matter, and the empress must take this matter very seriously. It is almost impossible to hide it with an empty coffin.
unless
Unless Princess Xuanhuai really died once!
A very bold idea suddenly appeared in Zhao Xun's mind.
He cannot yet verify the accuracy of this idea, but it is indeed a possibility.
Is it possible that Princess Xuanhuai faked her death and was sent to a tomb, and then escaped from the tomb by practicing magic?
If that were the case, everything would be explained.
After all, this is a world of practitioners. There must be relevant spells that can temporarily interrupt breathing. Princess Xuanhuai will wake up automatically after a period of time.
Of course, this requires expert support. After all, there was no obvious sign of groundbreaking after the tomb was sealed, and there was no hole theft.
If Princess Xuanhuai wants to escape, she must have a practitioner who can use magic to help her coordinate inside and outside.
Among the many spiritual techniques, are there any different techniques that can achieve this?
Zhao Xun's mind was opened in an instant, and the food in his hand no longer smelled good.
First of all, the warrior system can be eliminated.
This system relies on brute force.
No matter how high the martial artist's level is, they will definitely leave traces as long as they take action.
Furthermore, Buddhism can be eliminated.
Although the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty had good relations with Buddhism, Princess Xuanhuai herself did not believe in Buddhism, so she probably did not know any Buddhist masters. Besides, Buddhism probably did not bother to interfere in such secular matters.
As for those who cultivate Confucian literature, they can basically be excluded.
These guys rely on their words. They can move mountains and rivers by reciting poems, and move seas by writing lyrics.
But the problem is that Confucianism pays most attention to honor and integrity. I would like to scold this unruly princess on the tombstone, so how can I help Princess Xuanhuai to hide the truth?
After all this, only the Taoist sect and the Demonic Cult are left.
Zhao Xun feels that no matter what level of analysis, the two possibilities are the greatest.
First of all, let’s talk about the door.
The Taoist sect is not only good at Qing Cultivation, but also proficient in various strange sects and armor-defying techniques.
For top Taoists, it is not difficult to rescue a living person from a tomb.
As for the Demonic Cult
Zhao Xun's understanding of the Demonic Cult was very limited. He only came into contact with the Demonic Cult's artifacts twice during the last trip to Yuzhen Temple in Zhongnan Mountain and when he went to the tomb.
But these two contacts left a very deep impression on Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun knew that the masters of the Demon Cult were also capable of rescuing Princess Xuanhuai.
So who is it?
Zhao Xun felt that there would be no results if he continued to speculate, so he might as well leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the time being and go to ask his mentor Wu Quanyi for advice.
Zhao Xun is a smart man. For him, the elimination method is enough for now.
Compared to the Demon Sect, he obviously has much more resources in Taoism.
Not to mention Yuan Tiangang, an old magician, his mentor Wu Quanyi, a second-level Taoist master, was enough to answer his questions.
But Zhao Xun came to Qinglian Temple alone, nodded to the Taoist priest he was sweeping, and walked straight into the house.
At this moment, the room was filled with smoke, and it was obviously filled with incense.
Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi sits cross-legged on a futon and practices meditation with his eyes closed.
"Teacher, my disciple is disturbing me."
Zhao Xun bowed respectfully to Wu Quanyi.
Wu Quanyi seemed to have known that Zhao Xun was coming, and said calmly: "But for the case of Princess Xuanhuai's tomb robbery?"
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Exactly."
It's embarrassing to say that when he was about to go to the tomb to investigate the case, the first thing he thought of was the academy.
After all, he had just entered the academy and became the disciple of the mountain leader. He had too many resources at hand to make use of, so he formed the Academy Youth League with his third senior brother, sixth senior brother, and tenth senior brother and made their debut as a group.
After encountering danger in the tomb, Zhao Xun immediately called his adoptive father Yuan Tiangang, and got help from Yuan Tiangang's disciple Li Chunfeng and successfully escaped.
From beginning to end, Zhao Xun really did not think of Wu Quanyi.
After all, compared to Shan Chang and Yuan Tiangang, two unparalleled masters, Wu Quanyi, a second-grade strongman, seems a bit inadequate.
People often succumb to instinct in times of greatest crisis.
There's no shame in that.
But thinking about it afterwards, Zhao Xun felt somewhat guilty.
Moreover, the chief of the mountain and Yuan Tiangang Shenlong have never seen each other, so it is very difficult to meet them.
Wu Quanyi is much better, and usually stays in Qinglian Temple to practice.
"Tell me how your investigation went."
Wu Quanyi didn't seem to care about the fact that he was being used as a spare tire by Zhao Xun, and said calmly.
"Teacher, my disciple has something he doesn't know whether to say or not."
