Chapter 449 Eavesdropping

Ning Chuyi and others' faces changed again and again. They thought that the shopkeeper had just heard some rumors, but they didn't expect that the court had already announced it to the world.

After hearing the shopkeeper's words, even Pang Shou, who had been with the emperor and experienced countless changes, was a little at a loss.

When Ning Chuyi questioned the shopkeeper, Ling Chu quickly calculated with his hands covered by his wide sleeves.

But after a few times, he stopped again.

With a calm face, he stepped forward and said to the anxious shopkeeper, "Please take down those two sets of clothes. I want them."

After looking around the store, he didn't see the inner clothes, so he guessed that they should be placed in the inner room.

Pang Shou's lips moved, and he subconsciously wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw Ning Chuyi beside him and swallowed them back.

Although the imperial guards beside him didn't say anything, their expressions were not very good.

The dissatisfaction in his heart was almost written on his face.

The emperor has passed away, how can the princess still be in the mood to choose clothes.

Ling Chu ignored them and followed the shopkeeper to the inner room. After choosing the outer clothes, it is natural to prepare two sets of inner clothes and small clothes for washing.

Although he has no father-son relationship with the emperor, Ning Chuyi's heart is still in turmoil when he suddenly heard the bad news.

But seeing Ling Chu so calm, he quickly calmed down.

"Let's go, pick clothes first."

Pang Shou and several imperial guards were stunned, wondering why Ning Chuyi was so indifferent when he heard the news of the emperor's death.

Yin Sha glanced at them expressionlessly, without saying a word, stepped forward and handed the clothes he liked to the shopkeeper, indicating that he should pack them up and pay the bill.

Ning Chuyi was panicked because he was concerned.

But Yin Sha was always calm. He knew Ling Chu's ability and just saw her calculating.

Even if he didn't know what the hexagram was, he always remembered that the emperor was escorted back to the capital by Xuanyi Zhenren and his two disciples.

With Xuanyi Zhenren around, how could the emperor get into trouble easily?

Pang Shou looked back and forth between Ning Chuyi and Yin Sha. Although he also remembered that Xuanyi Zhenren was with the emperor,

But the crown prince was gone, and the second prince was determined to get the throne.

And his grandfather, Duke Qi, held one-third of the military power of the Zhongzhao Dynasty.

Together with Concubine An, the three of them would definitely stop the emperor from returning to the capital at all costs.

No matter how powerful Xuanyi Zhenren was, he couldn't beat four hands with two fists. How could he and his two disciples resist the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of Duke Qi?

Ling Chu didn't mention the emperor in front of the shopkeeper and his wife.

It was not until she stepped out of the clothing store and walked a dozen steps outside that she suddenly turned her head to look at Ning Chuyi, "Do you believe me?"

Ning Chuyi paused, glanced at her, and continued to walk forward.

"Don't you want to eat noodles with gravy? Let's go."

Ling Chu looked at him with some surprise. Although Ning Chuyi's answer was irrelevant, his tone was calm and his expression was not sad. He even remembered a casual remark she made when she went down the mountain.

It can be seen that he did not believe that the emperor had passed away.

Ling Chu smiled, said nothing more, and quickly followed.

Although Pang Shou and the other imperial guards were shrouded in gloom, they had no choice at the moment.

If the news of the emperor's death was true, it would be in vain for them to fly back to Kyoto now.

They were the emperor's people. Not to mention that they would not surrender to the second prince, even if they were willing, the second prince would tolerate them and would definitely not give them a good future.

They found a noodle shop and had a bowl of noodles each.

Ning Chuyi was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, but accompanied Ling Chu to stroll around this small county town.

They did not ask everyone to follow.

Yin Sha and Wei Feng, one went to buy dry food, and the other went to find an inn.

As for Pang Shou and the rest of the imperial guards, they went to find out the news of the emperor's death and the current situation in Kyoto.

In the clothing store, although Ling Chu had calculated, the hexagram was not clear.

If you want to calculate the emperor's situation, you have to use the mysterious technique of divination.

But when she fell off the cliff, the tortoise shell and copper coins on her body were scattered.

These two things on her body looked inconspicuous, but they were magic tools made for her by Xuanyi Zhenren.

This county town is really small. Ling Chu visited all the shops on the street before buying an ordinary tortoise shell and three copper coins.

Although it is not a good magic tool, it can be barely used.

After two hours of strolling, the bowl of noodles for lunch was digested. The two simply had dinner outside before returning to the inn.

Asking the waiter to bring hot water, Ling Chu took a comfortable bath and changed into the newly bought clothes.

Until the sky was full of stars, she took the copper coins, tortoise shells, incense burners and other things and left the room of the inn.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, the door of the next room was also opened.

Seeing Ning Chuyi dressed neatly, Ling Chu smiled and handed over the incense burner and other things in her hand.

Ning Chuyi raised his hand to take it, and the two walked side by side to the backyard of the inn.

Yin Sha and Wei Feng followed silently with lanterns.

Although it is a small county town, this inn is built quite large. Perhaps because the land price is cheap, the backyard occupies half of the street.

The owner of the inn should be an elegant person, and the scenery in the backyard is quite good. There is also a rockery in the yard, and an octagonal pavilion is built on the mountain.

Ling Chu climbed up the steps of the rockery, looked around, and picked a good spot next to the pavilion.

He placed the incense burner, took out the fire starter he brought, solemnly lit three incense sticks, recited the scriptures, bowed, and then inserted them into the incense burner.

Set up the mat, sit cross-legged, make hand gestures, and look up at the stars.

Ning Chuyi didn't say anything, but stood behind Ling Chu with his hands behind his back.

Yin Sha and Wei Feng silently waited in the pavilion.

Pang Shou and the other imperial guards tried many ways to find out during the day, but all the news they got pointed to the emperor's death.

Although it was late at night and the dew was heavy, they were still tossing and turning in bed. Seeing Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu go out, they followed them silently.

Everyone thought they would have to wait for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Ling Chu only took a quarter of an hour to observe the stars at night.

Although Pang Shou and others couldn't wait to ask the result, they could only suppress their anxiety when she took out the copper coins and tortoise shells.

It wasn't until Ling Chu finished fortune-telling that Pang Shou and others couldn't help but surround him.

Wanted to speak, but afraid of hearing a bad result.

Ling Chu saw that they were nervous, raised his eyes and looked at Ning Chuyi.

He didn't say anything, but his thin lips were tightly pursed.

"Although the Purple Star is dim and flickers from time to time, there is no sign of falling."

Ning Chuyi's tense face relaxed, and his eyes were clear under the moonlight.

One of the imperial guards seemed to understand what he heard, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but said, "Princess, is the emperor not..."

He wanted to ask if he was not dead, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that the word "death" was disrespectful and unlucky, so he swallowed them back.

Ling Chu glanced at him and smiled, "Yes, the emperor is still alive."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to cheer when a slight sound suddenly came from a distance.

"Who?"

Yin Sha and Wei Feng jumped up together, and their eyes blurred, and the big shovel had passed by them.

Then a scream came from behind the big tree.
