Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 294: The humble truth
"My lord, this is the portrait drawn based on the description of that woman."
Subordinates presented a stack of rice paper in front of Feinian.
Fei Nian unfolds the paper one by one-in order to reduce the error, usually three to four portraitists draw a person's head at the same time, and finally the one with the most experience will integrate the picture scroll into one. This time, the four paintings are similar to the final image. From the perspective of the painting, the other party is a 17 or 18-year-old woman: about five feet tall, with a high nose, wide eyes, and her hair tied into a flat bundle, neither protruding nor protruding. It's not ugly, in short, she is a very ordinary looking woman.
"Where is Shangguancai?"
"It has been sent to the Privy Council."
"She has no complaints, right?"
"Yes, she seems to have accepted the statement that'this is a misunderstanding' and asked when I can see you again."
Fei Nian smiled and took the picture scroll into her arms, "It's better that this side is gone. Get the horse, I'm going to see your Highness."
The matter has not been ascertained. Of course, he cannot report to the second prince with this.
What Feinian is really looking for is He'er.
And He'er will always appear next to Ning Qianshi.
With the consent of the second prince, Feinian met the little girl who always looked carefree in the back room of the palace conservatory.
"Fei Nian, good evening!"
She was wearing a bright red maid's dress and adding charcoal to the greenhouse stove. If she didn't know her abilities, she would be no different from a maid of the lowest grade at this moment.
"Miss He'er, hello." He respectfully saluted, then spread the portrait in front of the other person, "I want to use your ability to complete an investigation."
"Do you want to inquire about Wanxiang chess score?" Heer put down the charcoal basket, "I'm fine, but has your Highness agreed? He doesn't let me use this ability at will."
Because this ability puts a heavy burden on He'er, it will exhaust all of He'er's energy after one use. If there is any need to use the chess game in the world, he can only wait until the next day.
"His Royal Highness approved."
"Come on then, you should have already figured out the question to ask, right? You can only ask three times!" He'er stretched out three fingers.
"Yes, I understand that." Feinian nodded.
"Get ready." He'er sat cross-legged, placed one hand on top of the scroll, and closed his eyes slightly, "Xianshu, Vientiane Chess Book!"
The surging air wave poured in from her body, and the pure breath was like a wave entity! It's hard to imagine that a seven or eight-year-old girl can contain such a strong aura, and she doesn't know whether this is due to the inheritance of the magic, or her talent is proud of the mountains.
When He'er opened her eyes again, there was light in her eyes, and her voice became ethereal and sweet, as if it was not her who was speaking at this time, but Xianshu himself.
"If you have any questions, please speak up."
Fei Nian took a deep breath, "Is this woman's involvement related to the change in Xia Fan's ranking?"
"Yes." He'er replied blankly.
He was shocked, and it seemed that he was not looking in the wrong direction!
If the world chess game is the result of a confrontation between deduction forces, then Wanxiang Chess is another kind of inquiry about the intelligence held by He'er. It also can't give the process, the answer is only yes and no. If you ask about something that He'er doesn't know, the spell will be terminated immediately, which is why you need to think about three questions carefully before asking the question.
This affirmative reply made Feinian's heart settled. It meant that she had found the key clue related to Xia Fan, and He'er's intelligence database did contain this person's information.
Unfortunately, he couldn't directly ask the other person's name.
The next two questions must be as narrow as possible.
"Has this person ever lived in an inner city?"
Shangyuan City is divided into inside and outside. The richer people are closer to the palace area, and from the experience of Shangguancai's contact, the other party has a lot of money and should not be too short of money.
"Yes."
Finian felt that she was only one step away from the truth.
The inner city contains four residential areas and the Gyeonggi Imperial Palace. Choose any one of them and there is not much difference. Thinking of this, he asked the last question, "This person does not live in the palace."
"No." While giving the answer, the light in He'er's eyes dimmed suddenly, "Your question, the answer is over."
Then she shook twice and fell to one side.
Fei Nian hurriedly took two steps and reached out to hold the little girl.
"Hey...what did you ask? Have your doubts been resolved?" Her voice changed back to the voice of a child, seemingly unaware of what had just happened.
"Almost solved, you helped a lot."
"That's good..." He'er's voice lowered, "I... sleepy."
"Take a good rest." Feinian hugged her to the collapse, then walked out of the back room and bowed to the second prince who was painting in the hall, "Your Highness, I want to find someone in the palace."
……
With direction, the search efficiency is suddenly much higher.
Soon, a maid recognized the person in the painting, "Hui, Hui adults, this woman...a bit like the maid of the three princesses, Qiuyue."
Finian refreshed, "Are you sure it is her?"
"This—the maidservant is not sure." The maid shrank a little, "Her eyebrows and mouth are a little different from the portrait, but the shape and height of her face can match."
The appearance can be faked. Considering that she does not want to reveal her whereabouts, it is not surprising that she has changed a little.
In order to verify this judgment, Feinian directly recruited the maids and servants who had had direct contact with the third princess before-to outsiders, the princess maid is an inconspicuous role, but for them, That can be regarded as a frequent visitor.
Everyone believes that this person is Qiuyue.
But it is impossible for Qiuyue herself to want to be an alchemist.
Then it must be Ning Wanjun to replace Shangguancai!
But why did the princess go to Jinxia City as an alchemist to make Xia Fan rise in rank? What else did Heer discover that finally led to the change in the list?
Finian felt that the answer was only a layer of window paper away from him.
He returned to the recording department and re-read the correspondence about Jinxia.
There is the fief of the three princesses. Whether she goes there as a princess or as an alchemist, it should be harmless. The latter is at best because she is still playing with her heart and wants to experience the life of alchemy——
Wait.
Finian's gaze stayed on the document that the princess asked Xia Fan for credit because of the Gaoshan County incident.
He suddenly realized that he was only staring at replacing the alchemist... Maybe it was a bit too narrow. The appointment of Qiuyue to Shangguancai meant that Ning Wanjun was completely free from the time constraints of the examination time, and went ahead. Leave the Gyeonggi area in one step. Moreover, the Privy Council really has no way of knowing the specific time of the princess's departure from Beijing. What if she is no longer in Shangyuan before the start of the two-place examination?
A new thought opened up in his mind!
Where will the princess go?
Finian immediately called up the taxi exam records in Qingshan Town.
The name of Ba Xingtian is clearly written on the inspector column.
And Ning Wanjun can use this person's influence~IndoMTL.com~ to quietly intervene in the examination.
So Xia Fan was transferred to Jinxia City, didn't it happen by accident?
Fei Nian only felt a bang in his head--
The results of the taxi test in Qingshan Town have been artificially changed; Ning Wanjun became an alchemist not because of personal interest, but because she wanted to know someone in depth; the paper she asked for credit was not for the other side’s salvation, but actually an interest exchange! That's why Xia Fan soared all the way later and became the youngest mansion in Daqi.
If Shangguancai has been low-key and hibernated as agreed, or the Privy Council has not sorted out the old and new documents, none of this will show any abnormality, but when the two occur at the same time, He'er’s ability to correct this humble deviation. He also re-adjusted Xia Fan's ranking-not to improve, but to restore his original position!
Of course, Feinian is obviously not concerned about this.
The key message of this matter is that Ning Wanjun probably had contact with Xia Fan in advance, and reached some kind of agreement with him after he became an alchemist.
The relationship between them is probably much deeper than the friendship between the princess and the savior!
