After disguising themselves as Qianlong Guards, Cao Chuan and others left the Imperial Garden and followed the memories of Qianlong Guards before heading to a palace called Qianlong Palace to report.
Qianlong Hall is located on the west side of the imperial palace. It is a hall that is only slightly smaller than Xuantian Hall.
Since Meng Feiran took control of the Qianlong Guard, the Qianlong Palace began to be built. It was a place specially built for the Qianlong Guard to collect intelligence, issue tasks, and communicate with Meng Feiran and the emperor. It can be said that in addition to the emperor's palace,
The most closely guarded place.
After Meng Feiran's death, Lu Mengli was unable to fully control the Qianlong Guard, so when some of the Qianlong Guards became rebellious, the already tall and magnificent Qianlong Palace started to expand again.
At first, Lu Mengli wanted to ask who expanded the Qianlong Hall without notifying her.
But when she knew that this was the intention of the leader of the Qianlong Guard, Lu Mengli immediately knew it and thought that this was a plan implemented by the other party to test her, in order to make her angry because of the expansion of the Qianlong Palace.
If she was really angry because of the unreasonable expansion of the Qianlong Palace and took the initiative to come to the door, then the Qianlong Guards would have had the opportunity to lock her in the Qianlong Palace and then disguise her as a traitor who broke into the palace.
And kill it.
Since only Qianlong Guard has been able to enter and exit Qianlong Palace, and Qianlong Guard's status in the court is second only to her as the emperor, once this happens, Qianlong Guard can move out a false
Lu Mengli came to be a puppet, and when the time is right, he can kill the puppet and support his own person to sit on the throne.
You must know that this is Qianlongwei's first trial.
The first test happened to be the day after Meng Feiran died.
Lu Mengli really couldn't imagine what would happen next if she died on that day.
So she chose to endure it and never told outsiders about these things.
It wasn't until Cao Chuan and others came to the palace that she finally told the former three people what she had concealed for a hundred years.
therefore.
When Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan learned through the soul search technique that they would return to Qianlong Palace within the specified time, they couldn't help but think of the past events that Lu Mengli had mentioned.
Thinking back to what Yu Qinglan discovered after searching for the soul of Qianlong Guard.
Cao Chuan felt a little strange, so he communicated with Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan through sound transmission: "But according to what Lu Mengli told us, Meng Feiran was born in this world and was brought back to the palace, and even
Until his death, he was just an ordinary person who had no way to cultivate. The reason why he was able to reach the realm of divine treasure was because he took a pill given by the late emperor, which Lu Mengli saw with his own eyes."
"Although Lu Mengli was still young at the time, I believe that no matter who it happened to, it would be impressive."
"Is it possible that Meng Feiran is secretly hiding his level of cultivation?"
The more Cao Chuan thought about it, the more confused he became.
He really couldn't understand why many things that happened after Meng Feiran's death were still related to Meng Feiran.
After all, he didn't understand how an ordinary person in the Divine Treasure Realm, or rather an ordinary person who couldn't even fully grasp the power of the Divine Treasure Realm, could leave a mark on the souls of so many Hidden Dragon Guards.
Not to mention that the members of the Qianlong Guard have been replaced several times, and most of the Qianlong Guard today are no longer the same group as a hundred years ago.
"Could it be that the three Qianlong Guard leaders did it?"
After thinking for a while, Cao Chuan thought of a possibility.
Although today's Qianlong Guard has changed a large number of members, the three leaders of the Qianlong Guard who have always controlled the Qianlong Palace have always been the three who followed Meng Feiran back then. No matter what happened in the next hundred years
No matter what, their status has never been shaken.
In addition, the seals among the three Qianlong Guards detected today using the Soul Searching Technique were made by the leader of the Qianlong Guards.
Cao Chuan was even more certain that these things were actually done by the leader of the Qianlong Guard.
The leader of the Qianlong Guard was already controlled by Meng Feiran and became a puppet during his lifetime.
"only···"
After thinking about it carefully, Cao Chuan, who still felt a little strange, shook his head and murmured: "With Meng Feiran's strength, even if he learns the puppetry technique, it is impossible to continue to maintain the operation of the puppetry technique after death, right? Moreover, right?
How can the puppet itself control the puppet secret technique? Is there any other puppet secret technique that I don't know about?"
Cao Chuan, who was very puzzled by this, finally asked Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan for help.
Both of them came from the spirit world, so they must know more than him.
It was Yu Qinglan who answered Cao Chuan's question.
As the master of Lengyue Palace, what Yu Qinglan saw and heard was actually much better than Wen Jing, who was the saint of Tianlan Holy Land.
I only heard her say: "I have seen a lot of puppetry, but I can be sure that all puppetry requires a continuous supply of spiritual power or evil spirit once it is performed. Otherwise, once the spiritual power is cut off, the evil spirit will
supply, then the puppet technique will lose its effect and the puppet will regain its original will."
"So even if Meng Feiran used other methods to control the three leaders of the Qianlong Guard, he would lose control after his death."
"So I think Meng Feiran may not have died, but hid himself by feigning death, and then used puppetry to control the Qianlong Guard to secretly seize the entire Zhou Dynasty."
Yu Qinglan's remarks can be said to be earth-shattering and shocking.
Even Cao Chuan, who had been mentally prepared, felt that it was a little too bizarre after hearing what she said.
After all, it was Meng Feiran who personally supported Lu Mengli to ascend to the throne. If he really wanted to be the emperor, he could have directly eliminated Lu Mengli when he took over the Qianlong Guard, and then forged an imperial edict to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
After all, no one in the court at that time did not know about his relationship with the late emperor.
"Then why didn't Meng Feiran take action a hundred years ago? I think if he took Lu Sanyuan's head and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, no one would refuse. After all, the Qianlong Guard at that time had already taken orders from him, and the Qianlong Guard
It was the late emperor who took the initiative to hand it over to him."
Cao Chuan was puzzled and could only continue to ask.
"I don't know about this. Maybe Meng Feiran had doubts and didn't want to take action at that time?" Yu Qinglan didn't know the answer to the question, so she could only shake her head to express that she was equally puzzled.
Wen Jinghao never opened her mouth from beginning to end.
The three of them rushed outside Qianlong Palace together in silence.
At this time, there were already many Qianlong guards responsible for guarding other parts of the palace waiting in line outside the Qianlong Palace.
Next.
They need to pass a special inspection before they can enter the Qianlong Palace to rest and take turns with other people.
As for the inspection that Qianlongwei will undergo, Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan have already prepared for it.
Because the so-called inspection is to check whether there is still the divine consciousness belonging to Meng Feiran in their consciousness sea, as well as the divine soul memory seal from the leader of the Qianlong Guard.
Once it is discovered that the seal of the soul's memory is loosened, or something is missing, it will be immediately given up by the Qianlong Guard and completely disappear from this world in an instant.
Through the exploration of soul memory.
Cao Chuan and others knew that such a thing would happen when they were in the Royal Garden, and also knew that this kind of thing had actually been implemented since the establishment of the Qianlong Guard, in order to ensure the loyalty and absolute cleanliness of the Qianlong Guard.
.
Qianlongwei does not allow outside spies to exist inside.
So when it was Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan's turn to investigate.
Cao Chuan was still a little nervous.
Fortunately, after using the human face mask to disguise themselves, Yu Qinglan also specially took action to disguise a part of the soul memory for each of them, and even the sea of consciousness was hidden.
Therefore, even though they had to explore the whole body inside and outside during the examination, none of the three people were found to have any problems.
In this way, after the inspection, Cao Chuan and others were able to successfully enter the Qianlong Palace, which looked extremely spectacular on the outside.
And at the moment of entering Qianlong Palace.
The eyes of Cao Chuan and others were attracted by the three old men standing not far in front.
"It seems that those three old men are the leaders of the Qianlong Guard we are looking for."
The three of them turned their attention to the front, calmed down, and began to wait patiently for a good enough opportunity.
