371 Chapter 25-being honest (1)

At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an could not hide the shock and surprise on his face.

The results of the aura observation technique made him suddenly alert. All kinds of thoughts collided with each other, and sparks flew.

He quickly thought of two possibilities-first, lang ‘er actually didn’t like to eat mung bean cakes, and the reason why he showed that he liked them was to please noble Consort Chen.

Second, she was lying. The aura-gazing technique didn’t detect her, which meant that she had a magic weapon that could block the aura-gazing technique.

The first possibility could not be determined at the moment.

The second possibility was the real reason why Xu Qi ‘an’s scalp was numb and his adrenaline was pumping like crazy.

How could a Palace maid of the jingxiu Palace have a magic weapon that could block the aura-observing technique?

Why was she wearing a spiritual artifact that could block aura observation?

Unless, she needed to use this kind of magic tool to deceive everyone these few days. Unless she knew that she would be interrogated in the near future.

What had she done these past few days?

She had been to the Imperial medicine room!

As for whether she had been replaced by. li, lang. er was actually an ‘outsider’ in disguise … Xu Qi ‘an felt that the possibility was low. The words of the human-skinned mask could not escape his observation.

If it was the ‘transformation’ technique of a high-ranked expert, it would be even more impossible. This was the Imperial Palace, and high-level experts could not sneak in at all.

“Lord Xu?”

Lang ‘er frowned and squinted at Xu Qi’ an, who had lost his expression.

we can’t make a conclusion so easily. Maybe she just doesn’t like to eat mung bean cakes and accidentally said what she thought.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t panic to calm himself down. Instead, he kept a’ terrible ‘expression on his face. He stared at lang’ er and said in a slightly indignant tone, ”

miss lang ‘er, although you’re close to noble Consort Chen, your temper is a little too big. I’ve shed blood for the Imperial court and made great contributions. Miss lang’ er’s attitude is so irreverent. Do you have a problem with me? ”

Lang ‘er glanced at him and said, “”Lord Xu thinks too much. This servant is not irreverent and has no opinion of Lord Xu.”

“I’m in a hurry to go back and serve the Imperial Noble Consort,” she said with a bow after a pause.

With that, he stepped out of the door and left.

Xu Qi ‘an’s heart sank to the bottom as he watched the maid leave.

Just now, from the feedback of the aura observation technique, lang ‘er still did not lie.

The last question was Xu Qi ‘an’s way of covering up his loss of self-control, but it was also a trap for lang’ er to jump into.

First of all, lang ‘er was very impatient with this inquiry. She also disliked him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible … Xu Qi ‘an could confirm this.

When a normal person was faced with a question like ” do you hate me? “, they would subconsciously brush it off out of courtesy and not admit it, which constituted a lie.

However, from the feedback of the aura observation technique, lang ‘er’s emotions were unusually stable, and no lies were detected.

From this, it was almost certain that this Palace maid had a magic tool that could block the aura-gazing technique. It also indirectly proved that she had a guilty conscience and deliberately used this kind of method to avoid interrogation.

At this point, a terrifying truth was revealed.

She was the one behind the scenes!

Imperial concubine Chen?

At this moment, countless details and clues appeared in Xu Qi ‘an’s mind. The pheromones were like boiling water.

I really didn’t expect this … Leave this place quickly and report my findings to Lord Wei and huaiqing … Xu Qi ‘an didn’t want to stay in jingxiu Palace for a moment longer.

This feeling was like entering a hotel in the middle of the night, only to find out that it was a haunted house. The receptionist was an evil ghost with eyes hanging on his face, a face full of rotten flesh, and maggots crawling all over.

The plates of food on the table were maggots, feces, rotten meat, human heads …

Xu Qi ‘an, on the other hand, was the living person who had accidentally discovered the secret of the haunted house. His scalp was numb, and he only wanted to pretend that he knew nothing and leave before the evil spirit could react.

“I’m done. Let’s go back, little eunuch.”

Xu Qi ‘an took a deep breath and asked to leave.

“Yes!”

The young eunuch didn’t doubt him. He responded rather easily and followed Xu Qi ‘an out of the door of the side hall.

Wait a minute!

Xu Qi ‘an suddenly stopped in his tracks. If noble Consort Chen was the mastermind, then what the Empress had experienced was the price that noble Consort Chen was about to pay.He would be stripped of his position and thrown into the cold Palace.

The Crown Prince might not be crippled … Xu Qi ‘an didn’t care about the Crown Prince.What about Lin ‘an?

She was very happy today, because the case was about to be solved, and the crown prince’s innocence and release were only a matter of time.

But next, I might personally push her mother into the abyss.

She’ll probably hate me after she finds out about this.

Compared to huaiqing, a girl like Lin ‘an had a worse psychological endurance. Consort mother being thrown into the cold Palace, and even being bestowed with white silk and red wine was a possibility.

Not to mention the emperor’s favor, just in terms of status, the Imperial consort and the Empress were far apart.

The Empress was the emperor’s official wife. Perhaps she would not be granted death for killing a concubine, but what about the noble consort? would the noble consort receive such treatment?

“Lord Xu, Lord Xu?”

The young eunuch saw Xu Qi ‘an standing there in a daze and couldn’t help but call out a few times.

Xu Qi ‘an suddenly came back to his senses, but he still couldn’t think of a way to kill both sides. At the same time, some confusion flashed through his heart. After knowing that the person behind the scenes was noble Consort Chen, he still couldn’t solve all his doubts.

Let’s go back first … I won’t tell Wei Yuan about this first. For the sake of Lin ‘an, I, I’ll think about it …

At the gate of the courtyard, the eunuch who was guarding the door looked at Xu Qi ‘an with resentment.

However, when Xu Qi ‘an approached, he immediately restrained his emotions and became obedient and respectful.
