Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Wei Yuan, dressed in a blue robe, walked out of the imperial study alone.

"Wei Gong..."

Huaiqing looked at her questioningly. She was closest to Wei Yuan and could be considered half of his disciple.

Wei Yuan sighed, "The Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple has collapsed. It was the work of thieves, but they have long since disappeared without a trace."

Upon hearing this, the princes and princesses gasped in surprise.

"Who dares to be so audacious as to blow up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple?!"

"Is this an invitation to war against my Great Feng?"

"..."

Wei Yuan glanced at Huai Qing and said, "His Majesty ordered me to find out the truth and catch the culprit within half a month. I have already explained to His Majesty frankly that this case will be extremely difficult to handle..."

Then Wei Yuan shook his head and left.

Wei Qingyi's expression was somewhat solemn.

Because he had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Kyoto has been going through a lot lately.

First, several cases occurred, and now the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple has also been destroyed.

Huaiqing watched Wei Yuan's departing figure, his eyes gleaming.

The door to the imperial study opened again, and a grand eunuch wearing a black gauze hat and a camel-colored python robe came out.

"Your Highnesses, His Majesty requests your presence."

Led by the Crown Prince, eight princes and princesses who had come to check on the situation entered the Imperial Study together.

The desk used by Emperor Yuanjing was placed in the front hall, but no one was there.

The head eunuch led them into the inner hall.

The curtains were drawn low, and Emperor Yuanjing sat cross-legged on a futon.

Sitting opposite him was the stunningly beautiful female imperial advisor.

The two stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, maintaining the distance between fellow Daoists discussing the Dao.

Over the years, Emperor Yuanjing had been practicing Taoism under the guidance of this female imperial advisor.

The effect looks excellent. Back then, Emperor Yuanjing was burdened by political affairs, and his hair turned gray early. In his early thirties, his temples were already frosty white.

However, after this leader of the Human Sect cultivated Taoism for twenty years, his hair turned completely black, and his blood and health improved.

The crown prince wept upon seeing this.

If we're talking about who hates Luo Yuheng the most, it has to be him.

Heaven knows how many more years he'll remain in his position as crown prince!

If I don't ascend the throne soon, I'll grow old...

As for the other princes, their feelings towards this Taoist nun were a mixture of admiration and greed, and awe and disgust.

"Imperial Preceptor, I am still uneasy." Emperor Yuanjing broke free from his meditation, opened his eyes, and sighed.

“Your Majesty has a heart ailment, and only a heart remedy can cure it,” the female imperial advisor said, her voice carrying the pleasant and sophisticated quality of a mature woman.

“I do have a heartache…” Emperor Yuanjing gazed at the Daoist nun’s exquisite face and smiled, “I have been waiting for the Imperial Preceptor to cultivate with me.”

Upon hearing this, the princes and princesses' expressions immediately turned strange.

Only the eldest princess and the crown prince remained expressionless, their thoughts running deep.

Ten years ago, Emperor Yuanjing proposed to cultivate with the Imperial Preceptor, but the Imperial Preceptor refused. Emperor Yuanjing then issued an edict to bestow upon her the title of Immortal Consort.

The Imperial Preceptor still did not respond to 371729. Emperor Yuanjing was still relying on the other party's cultivation of immortality, so he had no choice but to give up on 119.

Outsiders only thought that Emperor Yuanjing was attracted to the National Preceptor's exceptional talent and beauty, and perhaps that was part of the reason, but it was by no means the main factor.

The princes and princesses knew their father's character best.

With three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, what kind of woman couldn't he have?

The princess, who was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the capital, was once a palace woman.

But Emperor Yuanjing, who had already practiced asceticism and Taoist cultivation, refused to touch her even a hair on his head.

What my father longed for most was immortality.

Not receiving a satisfactory answer, Emperor Yuanjing did not mind. He lifted the curtain and led his children to the front hall. He sat high at his desk and said, "No need to worry, everything is fine now."

As the eldest son and leader of the princes and princesses, the Crown Prince bowed and asked, "Father, is the destruction of the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple tonight related to an enemy country?"

Emperor Yuanjing frowned, clearly unwilling to explain.

The Crown Prince subtly gave the Second Princess a meaningful look.

Lin'an Xinzhong Zhuan Qun Ling 3 Qi Qi Shen Hui. (II) 9 Yao Yi

So Lin'an, dressed in gorgeous palace attire and with a charming appearance, smiled, took the teacup from the chief eunuch, swayed her hips and came to Emperor Yuanjing's side, and said coquettishly, "Father, Sangbo is a forbidden area for our royal family. What kind of thief can sneak into Sangbo and even destroy the temple of the founding emperor? Can he also sneak into Lin'an's mansion?"

On her beautiful and charming face, she made a face with furrowed brows, looking pitiful and frightened.

Among the many princes and princesses, Lin'an was the most favored because she knew how to be charming and how to please Emperor Yuanjing.

Emperor Yuanjing was a strong-willed and controlling person, and he might not necessarily like the talented but domineering eldest princess.

But he absolutely loves the gentle, harmless, self-reliant, and coquettish second princess.

With his jet-black hair, the emperor, who looked like he was in his prime, patted the second princess's soft hand and comforted her, "Nonsense. The palace is a forbidden area; how can thieves come and go as they please?"

The Crown Prince initiated the attack, the Second Princess assisted, and the Eldest Princess stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Just now I met Duke Wei at the gate. He subtly expressed his difficulties to me, and I guess he wanted me to plead for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing snorted.

Huaiqing's heart stirred.

She said, "Father, I happen to know a master detective."

"If he can participate in this case and work with Lord Wei, the truth will surely be revealed within half a month!"

In an instant, everyone in the imperial study turned to look at Huaiqing.

At the same time, a thought crossed their minds: Huaiqing wanted to promote one of his own people again.

There are two ways for princes and princesses to expand their power.

First: Win over court officials and make them his supporters.

Second: Promote trusted confidants.

The former was due to Emperor Yuanjing's strong desire for control and his mastery of imperial tactics.

Therefore, none of the other princes, including the crown prince, dared to openly form factions.

The latter is their usual tactic.

However, timing is also important. The princes and princesses felt that now was not a good time because the mission was too difficult.

Even Lord Wei was helpless in this case, so who else could do something?!

If things go wrong and displease the Emperor, then it would be like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Emperor Yuanjing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Oh? What candidates does Huaiqing have?"

Instead of directly naming the person he wanted to recommend, Huaiqing asked in return, "Does Father Emperor still remember the tax silver case?"

Emperor Yuanjing's expression remained unchanged, but he did not speak.

Huaiqing then continued, "The tax silver case was solved in just half a day."

"I believe Father Emperor also knows that the people who solved the case were not from the watchmen's office."

"As far as I know, the one who solved this case is none other than... the banished immortal Su Nan!"

"This person solved the case without even being at the scene, relying solely on the case files from the Jingzhao Prefecture!"

"I think if he were involved in this case, he would be able to do his part."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing was moved and asked, "Are you referring to the banished immortal Su Nan?"

"This man is indeed talented, but I did not know he also had the ability to solve cases!"

Emperor Yuanjing had certainly heard of this banished immortal's reputation.

This person is extremely talented, yet he refuses to enter the Imperial Academy or Yunlu Academy!

In earlier years, Emperor Yuanjing issued an edict that people from southern Jiangsu could enter the Hanlin Academy without taking the imperial examination.

However, this person had no interest in power and wealth and actually defied the imperial decree.

Emperor Yuanjing was quite interested in this young man!

He doesn't crave power or wealth; all he wants is fine wine and beautiful women.

Since the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the Great Feng Dynasty has suffered a decline in talent, and it has been difficult to find outstanding young people who could catch the eye of Emperor Yuan Jing.

This man from southern Jiangsu is one such example, but he has absolutely no interest in being an official!

Emperor Yuanjing couldn't very well force Su Nan to become an official in the court, could he?

"Father has long intended for Su Nan to serve the Great Feng, and this may be an opportunity."

"If Su Nan handles the case effectively, we can take the opportunity to keep him in the imperial court!"

Huaiqing seemed to have discerned Emperor Yuanjing's intentions and seized the opportunity to speak.

"That's a good move."

Emperor Yuanjing nodded with satisfaction.

If we can take this opportunity to keep Su Nan in the court, it would not be a bad thing.

This person possesses exceptional talent and intelligence; if he can be nurtured, he might just become the next Wei Yuan!

Moreover, this boy is much more reassuring than Wei Yuan!

Sitting next to Emperor Yuanjing, Lin'an grimaced slightly.

You, Huaiqing!
