The corpse I saw earlier was still hanging in the air, but it was empty underneath!

There were some traces of fighting in the courtyard, as well as several corpses of the Praetorian Guard.

And the barrier of Qijiao Alley has also been broken, and it is obvious that someone forcibly broke it in.

Chu Liuyue immediately searched around the courtyard, but did not find any useful clues.

The only thing that can be determined is that the time of death of these people should not exceed one day.

Whether it was outside or inside, these dead Praetorian Guards didn't have too many wounds on their bodies, they were all directly wiped on their necks, and they were fatal with one blow.

This is clearly a one-sided massacre!

Chu Liuyue carefully examined their corpses, and her brows gradually furrowed.

It seems that the Praetorian Guards did not have time to resist at all.

Although these people can't be regarded as top powerhouses, they are all well-trained and can solve so many people at the same time, and they are not even left with a chance to pass on the news, either the other party is outnumbered, or... It's extremely strong!

Chu Liuyue is more inclined to the latter.

Recently, the imperial capital has been heavily guarded, and if so many people really came, the movement of the brawl between the two sides must have spread long ago, instead of being like now, with corpses everywhere, but no one knows.

If she hadn't arrived today, I don't know when the situation here would have been discovered.

Chu Liuyue thought for a moment, then went straight to the palace.

...

The palace is heavily guarded, but fortunately, now Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu have a marriage contract, and as the future princess of the princess, the palace people naturally let them go directly.

Chu Liuyue did not go to Emperor Jiawen, but went straight to the queen's bedroom.

Walking on the road, she keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was very cold and weird, and everyone became cautious.

Obviously, the matter between the queen and Rong Jin made them all angry.

Halfway through, Chu Liuyue bumped into a group of people head-on.

The current person is none other than Chu Ning!

After not seeing him for a few days, he looked haggard and tired, which showed that he had been worried a lot during this time.

"Daddy!"

Chu Liuyue stepped forward quickly.

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Ning immediately raised his head and saw Chu Liuyue at a glance.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but then he frowned.

"Yue'er, why are you here!?"

Chu Liuyue walked up to him:

"Daddy, I have something important to tell you. ”

Chu Ning looked at her expression, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

Yue'er has always been very sensible, if it wasn't for an emergency, she would never have come to the palace to find him at this time.

He whispered a few words to the people behind him, and then walked to the side with Chu Liuyue.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chu Liuyue pursed her lips.

"Daddy, the Praetorian Guards who are in charge of guarding the Seven Corners Alley have all been killed! And the bronze tripod in the Seven Corners Alley has also been stolen and is missing!"

"W-What!?"

Chu Ning looked horrified.

He expected something bad to happen, but he didn't expect that-

"When's it!?"

Chu Liuyue briefly explained the matter.

Chu Ning's face became more and more ugly.

“... That is, I don't know who it is, and there are no clues?"

Chu Liuyue bowed slightly.

"I know that Your Majesty takes the affairs of Seven Corners very seriously, and you happen to be in charge of these things recently, so after the incident happened, I rushed here immediately. ”

Chu Ning's face seemed to have a layer of frost condensed.

In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the queen's affairs in the palace, so he put the matter on the side of Qijiao Alley on hold for a while and handed it over to his subordinates.

But I didn't expect this to happen!

Even if His Majesty ordered him to stay in the palace and solve the problem here first, he would not be able to escape the blame!

"Okay, I got it. I will now go and report to Your Majesty. ”

Chu Ning made a quick decision.

Sooner or later, His Majesty will know about this matter, and even if he will be punished, he must take the initiative to face it.

"Yue'er, you go back first-"

Chu Liuyue shook his head.

"I went with my father. I was the first to find out about it, and there was no reason not to. “

Chu Ning was a little hesitant.

"There's a lot at stake, Daddy doesn't want you to be dragged in..."

According to his investigation in all aspects in the past few days, he has vaguely felt that the queen should have played a big game during her lifetime.

Although she is now dead, the matter is far from over.

Especially... Now the bronze jar in Seven Corners Alley has disappeared inexplicably!

No matter what way he looked at it, he hoped that Yue'er would stay out of it.

The corners of Chu Liuyue's lips curved.

"From the moment I went to Seven Corners Alley, I couldn't get out easily. But don't worry, Daddy, Yue'er knows it. What to do and what not to do, Yue'er knows very well. “

Chu Ning looked at her with deep eyes.

He didn't know that this was actually her rhetoric?

The real reason is... If she can come forward, she will be able to relieve His Majesty of his punishment to a large extent.

Chu Ning was heartwarming for a while, and finally nodded.

"Good. You come with me to your majesty. ”

......

Chu Liuyue walked beside Chu Ning, and the Praetorian Guards behind him kept a distance from the two of them very clearly.

Originally, Chu Liuyue wanted to ask about the situation on the queen's side, but after thinking about it, she still suppressed the words.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group finally arrived at the Zhaoyang Palace.

Strangely, it was daylight at this time, but the door of Zhaoyang Hall was closed.

And the number of guards outside the hall is also twice as large as usual, and they look like they are ready for battle.

Chu Ning stopped in recognition of each other.

Gonggong Min, who was guarding the door outside the hall, saw Chu Ning and knew that he had come to report to His Majesty, but immediately after, he saw Chu Liuyue standing next to Chu Ning.

Gonggong Min's heart jumped.

Why did this person come over at this time!?

He hurriedly walked over with small steps.

"Lord Chu Ning, Your Majesty is dealing with important matters at this time, please wait. ”

After speaking, he looked at Chu Liuyue again: "Miss Liuyue, why are you here today?"

Chu Liuyue said succinctly:

"I have something important to tell your majesty with my father. Grandpa Min doesn't have to worry about it, we'll just wait here. ”

Gonggong Min is a good person, looking at Chu Liuyue and Chu Ning's expressions, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately did not ask in detail, echoed two sentences and retreated.

But as soon as he walked back, the door was slammed open from within!

Bang!

A middle-aged man in a dark brocade robe walked out of it!

His face was very gloomy, and there was a majestic aura around him that no one should enter.

When Gonggong Min saw him come out, he immediately took a step back respectfully.

But the man didn't pay any attention to it, and just strode outside!

Looking at that face, Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

This look... Something familiar...

Suddenly, her eyes lit up!

This man is five points similar to Situ Xingchen!
