Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Jiawen looked at the booklet in his hand, and the more he looked at it, his brows furrowed tighter, and finally he threw the thing aside with a "snap".

"Chu Ning, I asked you to search Qijiao Alley with all your might, and you only found these useless things?"

Chu Ning, who stood respectfully with his hands down, immediately knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, Wechen has used all the connections and means at his disposal, but at present, he can only find out these. Although there were hundreds of white bones in the Seven Corners Alley, apart from the fact that they were all cultivators, no other information about their identities could be found. Anything that could reveal his identity seemed to have been dealt with by someone and could not be found at all. Even... Except for the corpse that was still hanging, there was not even a single piece of clothing on the other white bones. ”

Those who do these things are obviously very cautious.

Chu Ning has been almost sleepless in the past few days, and even really dug Qijiao Alley three feet into the ground, but except for piles of white bones, there was really no other breakthrough.

Emperor Jiawen rubbed his eyebrows irritably.

He knew that this matter was not so simple to find out, and it was useless to sit here in a hurry at this time, but as long as he thought of the bronze jar stained with dried dark red blood, he was full of worry.

Chu Ning glanced at Emperor Jiawen and continued:

"Refusing to check, the queen mother will go to Seven Corners Alley once every two months on average, and the action is very hidden, and she only stays there for a short time at a time. So for so long, it has not been discovered. ”

Emperor Jiawen's face was very gloomy.

In fact, he had personally interrogated the queen several times, but the queen's mouth was very strict, and she only said that everything was done by her from beginning to end, but she never mentioned whether it was prepared for Rong Jin, let alone why it was so.

In the middle, with the acquiescence of Emperor Jiawen, the people below also tortured the queen, but they still didn't get any useful clues.

As long as he thought that the queen had deceived him for so many years, and he had not noticed it at all, he felt a chill rush from the center of his feet to his head, making his whole body shudder.

"Tuk tuk. “

"Your Majesty, Your Highness asks to see you. ”

Gonggong Min said cautiously outside.

"Let him in. ”

Emperor Jiawen took a deep breath, looked at Rong Jiu who pushed the door in, and asked:

"What's your news?"

As soon as Rong Jiu came in and saw Chu Ning kneeling on the ground, he realized that he should have found something without tea.

He first saluted respectfully, and then said slowly:

"Erchen personally interrogated all the people in the queen's palace, and came up with a little news, which may be of some use. “

Emperor Jiawen finally came to the spirit:

"Speak quickly!"

Rong Jiu said:

According to the Queen's personal maid, the Queen kept a box by herself and never allowed anyone else to touch it. Every once in a while, the queen would shut herself up in her bedchamber. At first, the palace people didn't care, but then a eunuch inadvertently broke in, and finally found that the queen mother was inside, and it seemed that she was looking at the contents of the box. ”

Jiawendi pondered for a moment:

"What kind of box is it that makes her value so much?

Rong Jiu secretly sneered in his heart.

There is no affection between Emperor Jiawen and the queen at all, especially Emperor Jiawen, he is afraid that he has not even put one-tenth of his mind on the queen.

But if he ever cared about the queen, he would not let the queen do so many messy things under his nose.

The queen frequently went in and out of Qijiao Alley, and even kept hunting cultivators to accumulate strength for the bronze jar, but Emperor Jiawen didn't know, let alone a small box?

If you want to hide from Emperor Jiawen, it's too simple.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.

It is precisely because of this that the queen quietly killed his mother, but she never got any due punishment!

Emperor Jiawen is no better than his mother's concubine!

Rong Jiu suppressed the emotions in his heart, and his face was calm.

This retainer didn't ask, after all, the palace people didn't dare to ask about the queen's mother's things. But... The eunuch, who had no intention of discovering this, fell into the lake and drowned not long after. After that, the people in the queen's palace were silent about this matter. “

This time, he also used some means to finally ask this point.

Erchen thought that if he could find the box, many problems should be solved. ”

Emperor Jiawen's expression was solemn.

"You mean, that box has something to do with the Seven Corners Alley?"

"This is just Erchen's speculation, and in the absence of other clues, this is the only feasible path. ”

Jiawendi thought for a moment and felt that what he said was quite reasonable.

"In that case, Rong Jiu, you go to the queen and ask her to hand over the things!"

Rong Jiu hesitated:

"Father, since the queen values that box so much, she shouldn't hand it over easily..."

"Tell her that if she hands it over honestly, I may be able to give Rong Jin a chance, if she is stubborn... Let her figure it out for herself!"

Rong Jiu's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light.

"The retainers obeyed. “

With that, he quickly retired.

Emperor Jiawen glanced at Chu Ning helplessly.

"Chu Ning, you have to hurry up over there. You really can't do it, start with other aspects! You go and check all the people who had close contacts with the queen and Rong Jin before!"

"Yes!"

After Chu Ning retreated, Emperor Jiawen relaxed his body and leaned back in the chair.

Chu Ning is good at everything, but there is only one thing - the means are not enough.

In comparison, Rong Jiu's work efficiency is much higher.

After all, it was trained in the Northwest Army...

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiawen vaguely felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He had never thought of leaving the position to Rong Jiu before, because he really didn't like this son, and the killing aura on his body was too heavy, sometimes even Emperor Jiawen was a little jealous.

But now it seems... Rong Jin is absolutely no good, among the remaining princes, Rong Jiu turned out to be the most suitable.

Even a ruthless kill is better than cowardice and incompetence.

Pity...

Emperor Jiawen let out a long sigh, and seemed to be tired of his teens in an instant.

If Rong Xiu's body is good...

...

The Queen's Bedchamber.

The once bustling and prosperous situation disappeared in a blink of an eye, and now it is cold and lonely, leaving only a heavy guard, trapping the queen here.

When Situ Xingchen came here, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Emperor Jiawen hated the queen to such an extent...

When a guard saw Situ Xingchen, he immediately stepped forward:

"Princess Situ, please stop. Your Majesty has ordered that no one should come near here!"

Situ Xingchen took out a token from his sleeve and took the majesty of the eldest princess:

"This princess has come by order. ”

The guard glanced at it, recognized that it was indeed His Majesty's token, and hurriedly stepped out of the way:

"Princess Situ, please!"

Situ Xingchen put away the token and walked into the queen's palace with a calm expression.
