When Shangguan Che and Jiang Yuetang walked out of the study, Fang Zhaofan, who was sitting in the garden paying close attention to the movement of the study, hurriedly got up and flashed to the other side of the courtyard, but Shangguan Che's eyes were sharp, and he saw her at a glance, and hurriedly asked, "Is it Miss Fang?"

Fang Zhaofan's heart suddenly beat wildly, and he hurriedly replied "yes", turned around and walked towards them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Yuetang then said to Zhao Fan: "Sister Zhaofan, can you help me send Teacher Shangguan?"

She felt that Shangguan Che and Fang Zhaofan seemed to have something to say.

Fang Zhaofan couldn't help but secretly praise her intelligence, nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course you can." ”

So the little one took his leave.

Fang Zhaofan and Shangguan Che walked side by side in the direction of the gate.

From where they are to the gate, they need to walk through a long and winding corridor, which is not a short distance.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet, and the two young men walked silently, and for a while no one spoke. The night breeze blew the sweet fragrance of flowers on Fang Zhaofan's body to the tip of Shangguan Che's nose, making Shangguan Che unconsciously take a deep breath.

"Are your father and aunt all right?" Shangguan Che took the initiative to ask.

He could feel that Fang Zhaofan didn't like to talk much.

Seeing that he cared about her relatives, she couldn't help but warm her heart, and hurriedly replied softly: "My father died of illness the year before last. He also said, "My mother died when I was eight years old, and she was injured and died while fighting with gangsters." ”

The night her mother died, she will never forget for the rest of her life.

It was a night of heavy rain and lightning and thunder, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be angered by someone to ravage the world, and it was pitch black all around, and only the occasional flash of lightning in the sky brought a moment of light to the heavens and the earth, but the light was even more disturbing.

At that moment, thirty gangsters dressed in black and hooded with black hats broke through the two-layer mechanism and entered the Meteor Village, and when they wanted to break into the third mechanism, they were noticed by the people who supervised them, who immediately notified the people of the whole village to send out to defend against the enemy. Fang Zhaofan's mother was unfortunately attacked from three directions by three gangsters with hidden weapons in the fight with the gangsters, and died on the spot.

She will never forget the look her mother gave her before she breathed, a look full of reluctance and love. Because of that vision, Fang Zhaofan told himself - even if it was just for my mother's glance, I had to live well.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhaofan's whole person instantly sobered up, and immediately put away Fang Cai's little daughter's mentality.

Shangguan Che couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it. No wonder I rarely hear about her mother, it turns out that she has passed away a long time ago.

And Fang Zhaofan's mood changed, Shangguan Che also keenly felt it, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to ask about your sadness." ”

"It's okay, it's been a long time. Fang Zhaofan said with a smile.

The two continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

He didn't speak, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Fang Zhaofan thought in his heart - it would be great if he could go on like this with him!

Then she scolded herself again, and quickly retracted her thoughts as if she had made a mistake.

Soon, the gate was in front of you.

No one knows when they will meet again, so Shangguan Che looked at her and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

This sounded really official, so Fang Zhaofan was slightly disappointed. She wanted to hear something else, but she knew it was an extravagant hope.

"I'm also glad to meet Lord Shangguan. She laughs.

Shangguan Che fixed his gaze on her face for a moment and said softly, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. ”

When the carriage started, Shangguan Che lightly lifted the corner of the curtain and looked in the direction of the door, and saw Fang Zhaofan still standing there.

Her light blue dress shone like a jewel in the night.

Shangguan Che looked at the figure for a while before lowering the curtain and sighing softly.

In the afternoon, the new emperor Li Pei, who had taken a nap, sat at the desk in the imperial study, staring fixedly at a copy of the book in his hand, thinking about how to deal with the matter mentioned in the admonition.

Although the seventeen-year-old new emperor was a little apprehensive at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he soon found his senses. Now, two and a half months have passed since the day he ascended the throne. After more than two months of training, he is now able to handle all kinds of affairs with ease.

But of course, after all, he is not experienced enough, so he spends more time dealing with government affairs every day.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and soon, Gonggong Liu's respectful and gentle voice sounded beside Li Pei: "Your Majesty, the secretary of the criminal department asks to see you." ”

Li Pei hurriedly put down the fold in his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

Guo Yifan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately entered in response to the call and respectfully bowed in front of Li Pei. After the ceremony, Guo Yifan reported: "Your Majesty, the families of Du Jin and Lei Axian have not behaved unusually. ”

Since learning the news that Du Jin and Lei Axian have died one after another, Guo Yifan has repeatedly interrogated and secretly supervised their families, but this kind of work lasted for five whole days without the slightest breakthrough or gain.

Guo Yifan therefore believes that the relatives of Du Jin and Lei Axian are not clear about what they have experienced or done when they served in the palace.

Li Pei frowned deeply when he heard this, and said after a long time: "You continue to investigate them in depth." ”

Obviously, Du Jin and Lei Axian are extremely suspicious.

Guo Yifan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Li Pei glanced at him and said, "Guo Aiqing, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Guo Yifan hesitated, took a few steps forward and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was alive, Du Jin and Lei Axian took turns to serve in front of the dragon couch at night, and only they had the best chance to do anything during the long night, and now that they have committed suicide, it is even more suspicious, but there is little hope of getting evidence from them, it is better to ...... from the side of the first emperor."

After all, opening the coffin and conducting the autopsy is a crime, not to mention that the object is the former monarch of Zhaoguo, so Guo Yifan didn't dare to say it clearly.

Li Pei understood as soon as he heard it, so he asked, "Can Guo Aiqing give me a good reason?"

Guo Yifan was overjoyed when he saw that Li Pei did not refuse immediately, and hurriedly said: "Since we can't get more evidence from the living, let's find a way to find it from the dead, and the evidence must be in between." He continued: "When the first emperor died, it was the third day of March, when the weather in the capital had not yet turned hot, and the place where the first emperor was buried was unique, presumably the body had not completely decomposed. We can send the best team in the country1 to examine it carefully and see if we can find some clues. ”

Li Pei listened and pondered.

Guo Yifan took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, this is obviously a man-made matter, I hope you don't let the bad guys succeed because you take too much care of it, and don't you always hope to find out about this matter?"

Li Pei pondered for a moment and said, "I will ask the queen mother for instructions before replying to you." ”

Guo Yifan also knew how powerful the Queen Mother was, so he said: "Okay, that Weichen is waiting for His Majesty's reply." ”

With that, he withdrew.
