These days in bed, he really thought a lot, but no matter what he thought, it was of no avail.
At this time, the emperor seemed to be no longer the lofty emperor he once was, but just an old man in his twilight years, thinking about what he had done in his life day and night.
An Xiju sent Annan to investigate the matter between An Yihua and the monk. Unexpectedly, the investigation turned out to be a problem.
Yi'er came back and sent a message to An Xishu: "Annan said that he found out that a few months ago, Master Wu Wang went out for a trip. After he came back, he seemed to be a little weird. He occasionally asked about things happening in Beijing. Monks
All four elements were empty. The former Master Wu Wang never cared about these things. However, he still meditated and chanted sutras every day, but no one found anything wrong. Annan followed the clues to find the route the monk took when he went out, and sure enough he discovered something.
A strange thing happened. There was a ruined temple near a small village on the outskirts of the city. One day it suddenly caught fire. Later, after the villagers put out the fire, they found a charred corpse inside. According to the estimated time, the fire broke out.
At that time, Master Wuwang happened to pass by there. There were no other clues, so Annan suspected that the corpse might be the real Master Wuwang. But he had no evidence, just intuition. Because what happened was so real
It’s a bit of a coincidence.”
After listening to Yi'er's words, An Xibi asked: "Did An Nan say when Master Wuwang returned to Qingxin Temple after discovering the body? Have any villagers seen Master Wuwang and others in the ruined temple?
A stranger?"
Yi'er thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Yes! The day before the fire, some villagers saw a monk who seemed to be heading towards the ruined temple. Some villagers said that when they passed by the ruined temple that day, there was a monk.
I saw a strange man riding a horse. Because I just glanced at it casually, I don’t know if there is anyone else. Beggars often stay in the ruined temple, so I can’t tell who the body belongs to. After all, time
It’s been so long that there’s no way to do an autopsy.”
"Annan also said that Master Wuwang returned to Qingxin Temple on the third day after the fire in the temple. He originally planned to go out for a few months, but he returned in less than half a month. Some people in the temple also asked him why
What happened, his answer was that he was ill and felt unwell, so he came back early. After that, he did stay ill for more than half a month," Yi'er added.
"This is weird. Although I can't be sure, Annan's suspicion is indeed justified. If these things are connected together, it is a bit of a coincidence. Ask Annan to go to Zuijun Tower again and ask Mother Su. What are these things?
Months, have any strangers come to the capital?" Although there may not necessarily be a problem with this matter, at this time, any disturbance cannot be ignored.
"Yes." Yi'er responded.
In the evening, Yi'er came back and told what An Xibi told her to do: "I have already inquired with Mother Su. Mother Su said that there was a caravan from the Jade Kingdom that stayed in Beijing for a while. A few days ago,
I arrived in the capital again, but this time, I left quickly. Because I didn’t find anything wrong, I didn’t come to report it to the empress.”
"Jade Kingdom, caravan...when was the last time we came?" An Xici thought about it for a while and asked.
